sherman was not exactly careless
as to his dress, but unconventional He
always comes up in my minds eye In
contrast with the good dressers of the
army, like Mcclellan and FitZjohn Por-
ter and scores of others who In dress
and bearing were the ideal soldiers.
Strangely enough, these good dressers
of punctilious habit were more often
engaged in controversy than any others.
My sympathies were with Porter In his
famous controversy with Pope, and
think most men who met him personal
ly were ON his side of the case. The
splendid physique and fine eyes, the
masterful poise of the man and his in
sistent courtesy won men to his way of
thinking.
MY loyalty to him received hard
blow ON one occasion, and l have never
been able to get away from the impress
sion that n few honestly spoken sen
fences left upon my mind In the early
days of the Pope campaign in Vir-
! ginia a warm friend of mine, general
| officer, by the way, who was as tall as
| Porter, as winning in his manner and
| as masterful in his bearing, was return
ing from Washington to his own com
| mand in the field. He stopped at Por-
| ter's headquarters for short time,
| heard the conversation among the Ofli-
GERS coming and going, and without
making himself known as Porter was
absent he took the train for the next
station There were probably twenty
| officers of various grades on the train.
| One of these came to the seat occupied
| by my friend and sat down by his side
"He opened conversation at once,
| as if well acquainted and proceeded to
say that if the general did not interfere
and certain plans which had been dis
| cussed were carried out. General Pope
could be put In q hole In two minutes
| 1t became apparent 10 my friend that
the officer thought lie was speaking to
General Porter The conversation was
Of the most confidential character and
| it revealed enough to show that there
was intrigue against General Pope
that there was among Porter's officers
a disposition TO let Pope save himself.
| As soon as he OWNED that the officer
was talking to him in the belief that he
was General Porter my friend turned
and said, 4 beg your pardon but | am
| not General Porter The officer gave
| him a sharp look, stood on his feet,
made stiff salute and walked away.
"My friend told me this story. not to
cool my ardor, not to prejudice me
against Fitzjohn Porter but to show
me that among porters intimates there
was resentment against Pope and a dis
position not to help him by earnest Co
operation. My friend carried the secret
| to his grave. During his life he never
entered into the controversy Oh one
| side or the other, but he felt 10 the last
| that some Of the best officers in the
army of the Potomac were dangerously
near n conspiracy to prevent the sue
| cess Of General Pope in the field -

DIPPING NURSERY STOCK.
1t Must Ee Done with Care So as Not
to lnjure Plants.

Dipping nursery stock in lime sui
phur wash or other insecticides has
recently been much advocated as a
substitute for fumigation with hydro.
cyanic acid gas. The New York ex-
pertinent station at Geneva finds how
ever, that this treatment. if used at
all, must be handled with care to
secure scale destruction without injur-
ing the trees. With the sulphur wash
exposure of the trees for too long a
time or at too high temperature re-
suited in injury; while with any of the
materials used, exposure of the roots
10 the mixture resulted in serious in
jury to the stock. For nurserymen
The station still recommends fumiga-
ton as most effective AID least uable
to injury; and would advise orchard
lists to use the lime-sulph7lr as a spray
after the trees are set, rather than as
a dip when they are received.

GRATING WAX.
How II is Made from Resin, Beeswa,.
and Tallow.

The best grating wax is made from
four parts of resin, two parts beeswaX,
and one part tallow, all by weight,
melted together over a rather slow
fire i'm an iron vessel of some kind.
The resin is melted first, then the
beeswaX is added. and subsequently
the tallow. The ingredients are gently
stirred with a small stick and thor
oughly Incorporated. This will take
from twenty minutes to half an hour,
being careful in the meantime to
avoid burning the fluid. When prop
erly mixed, a convenient portion-not
too much-is poured into a bucket of
cold water. In a minute or less il
will be cooled sufficiently to be lifted
out with the hand and pulled like
taffy. The ha>>ds must be kept mod
erately creased with tallow, TO pre-
vent sticking. When the wax is pulled
until 1t becomes pale yellow il has
been worked sufficiently and may be
made into rolls OF convenient size
three or four inches long by about an
inch in diameter-and placed in an
other vessel of cold water to harden.
More of the melted material is to be
poured into the cold water from time
to time, and treated as before, until
the whole is worked up. The rolls
(when they become hard, as they soon
wild are to be put away until re
quired in grating This wax when
applied to the trees will not crack
in cold weather, nor melt and run
down in warm weather. If the graft
ing is done in cool weather, the wax
may need 10 lie in warm water for a
time before applying TO the CRAFTS, in
order 10 have it of the proper con-
sistency to work we'll; if used in warm
weather it may need to lie in cold
water. Care is needed in lifting it
out TO free it from the water as much
as possible. In putting it on the
CRAFTS the hands must have a little
very little-tallow, to prevent the wax
from sticking to them. This requires
for If the hands are too
greasy the wax will not adhere prop
erly to the cut surfaces of the CRAFTS
1t should be pressed closely.-Ex-

How MISTAKES COST.
Edgar L. Vincent Takes a Chapter
from His Own Experience.

farm | bought COW of neighbor He
told me she was as good as she looked,
and to my eyes she looked first-rate I;
and i'm some ways she was all right
She gave good milk and a good lot of
II. She was healthy and hearty. She
was pleasing to look at and the chill
dren loved her; still, she had a bad
habit of kicking.
Now, | do not say that the man who
sold me that cow knew she had this
falling perhaps he did not. / am con
vinced that some COWS are very sensi-
tive 10 the touch of the hands OF some
men. From that COW We raised a num-
ber of calves. They were always good
ones, large. with dreamy, big eyes and
perfect beauties in many ways. But il
may surprise you to know that every

Allen r. Mcneil, for many years one
of the leading and highly respected bus
mess men OF Paw Paw, passed away at
his home last Sunday morning. He had
been IN in health for several years and
his many friends had hoped for an ulti-
mate recovery, but il was not to be.
Allen r. Mcneil wasIborn ir Texas
township, Kalamazoo county, Mich, on
June l6 1874, and passed into the higher
life June l3, 1909. At an early age he,
with his parents, moved to the village Of
Lawton, where he afterwards learned
his trade as blacksmith. His father
died while in the army, thus. as the old
est of three children, he was forced into
the realities OF life AZ an early age.
He married his present wife, then Al
zina Halstead, IN November 1865 and the
following year moved to this village,
where he has continued TO reside until
his death. When he came tn Paw Paw
he went into business with Alonzo Mil
Ter. but soon after became the partner
of James Phillips in what was one OF
the leading shops This partnership
continued for % years, or until the death
of Mr.. Phillips Since that time he con-
tinued to run the shop, even though
falling health has made 1t impossible TO
take an active part for four wears.
He has always been charitable, pro
gressive aud public spirited and his tel-
low citizens have recognized his worth
by many Offices of trust. He was mem
ber of the Disciple church and has al
WAYS taken working part therein
He became an Odd Fellow on New
Years eve, 1869 and has always retained
his membership. He loved the order as
he did his own soul and attributed much
OF his success and standing in the com
munity to it's noble teachings.
He died as he had lived, at peace with
the world, and loved and respected by
all He leaves to survive him, his faith
ful wife. one brother r. W. Mcneil OF
Lawton and one son, IL. l.. Mcneil OF
this place.
He has left US, but he has left behind
him the lasting and enviable reputation
of being an honest man.
The funeral was held from the Dlsci-
ple church, Tuesday. 1t was in charge
of the |. O. O. f. Rev. G. e.. Varney
was the officiating clergyman. Frank
r. Hamburger of Detroit, grand mar
shal of the grand lodge, | .. . r. OF
Michigan was present and assisted IN
the ritualistic service. He also delivered
a beautiful and touching eulogy on the
life OF the deceased brother. Fred hog
ers and wife of Reading, Mich, were also
present at the funeral. As slight token
of the respect and esteem in which de
ceased was held. all business places IN
the village we're closed during the hour
of the funeral.

DON'T STUNT THE CALVES.
Keep Their Feed Up If You Would
Make a Profit.

If last years calves are to be kept
on the farm during The present win
ter there is no economy in keeping
them through on short rations. No
matter what the price of feed is, il
they are good enough 10 keep they
should have plenty to eat, and If they
are not good enough to keep they had
better be marketed now at almost any
price. If the calf is stunted during
its first winter it will not be worth
more in the spring than at this time
Profit in growing young calves of any
kind depends largely upon keeping
their growth constant. One OF the
most worthless objects upon any farm
in the spring is a calf that has been
brought through the winter on a ra-
tion of straw and cold weather and
that has been allowed 10 become lousy
as well as stunted The grain fed to
he calves this winter may seem cost
~ and not productive of any results.
but when these same calves are put
upon the pasture next summer il will
be very easy TO tell which of them re-
ceived grain and which did not. AS
has been repeated in these column.

WINTER CARE OF THE MIXER.
Protect Cows from Cold, But Give
Them Chance for Exercise.

Proper protection is most essential
during the cold, wet months Of early
spring than at any other time of the
year, Good care at this time brings
results at he pail. Allow the COWS to
run out only on bright days ] do not
allow them 10 fill themselves with
very cold water, as it is liable to affect
their entire system. Give water sew
eral times a day and have it slightly
warm
The feed problem at this time is
the most serious for the year, says
Farm and Home. The high price OF
grains makes it costly to feed a COW
in this vicinity and 70 be profit
able COW must produce about
Is ounces of butter daily which
sells for 80 cents per pound. While
each feeder must study his local sup
ply of feed and regulate matters to
conditions before him. there are GER
tain feeds that will always be favor
ties
Supply sufficient bulk to satisfy The
appetite and at the same time fur
nish material for growth and milk
production. If there is a surplus of
feed she will have a tendency TO lay
on flesh which is not wanted If feed
is insufficient the COW will shrink in
milk supply.

grain, milking while they eat this.
After the milk is removed | feed the
roughage and the dust does not get
into the milk. The large COW and
the small, nervous COW both require
more feed than one that is quiet

but they are just the things that are
