A recent story reminds a CORE
spondent of the Second Vermont Vol
unteers of the following: Our officers
had given us strict orders against for
aging. Colonel Randall and Captain
Whiting, of Company II, were espe-
cially severe. In spite of orders the
boys used to pick up young pigs, abun-
dant in that vicinity. and work them
up into ''possum stews." The captain
CHANGED to discover that the boys
game of which their stews were made
was contraband, and he at once con-
fiscated a fine stew and had the own
ers arrested.
Now the captain was a great lover
OF poker. and he and his set RECALLED
themselves with poker and the sol
even. In the natural order this event
happened twice. The second time it
was essentially varied, as follows:
Four puppies had been procured
Three of them were killed, their bod
les buried and heads left outside, just
back of the tent. After the officers
set had got the well-seasoned stew dis
posed of, the little puppy remaining
alive was left at the officers tent and
began to whine. hey investigated
the whining at once, and found the
little fellow with a card to his neck,
upon which was inscribed: You
have eaten by three brothers; now eat
me- (Signed) JEFF DAVIS"
In the expressive language of the
colored gentleman, there was commo-
ton in that camp. Investigation fol-
lowed, the puppies heads were discov.
ered-and-we draw a veil over the
scene that followed.
A puppy's whine, bark, or even a
howl was altogether too suggestive
for a long time after. The boys stews
were not confiscated any more
The disagreeable results of the af-
fair were entirely the effects Of the
imagination, as the stew which the
officers confiscated was entirely COM
posed of good chickens and pigs.

For an instant-clear. and cool. and still !:
Then with a smile he said II will"
Cavalry. chargel' Not a man of them
shrank.
Their sharp full cheer, from rank on
rank
Rose like a greeting hail TO death.
Theri forward they sprang, and spurred,
and clashed;
Shouted the officers. crimson-sashed
Rode well the men. each brave as his
fellow.
IN their faded coats of blue and yellow
And above in the air, with an instinct
true.
Like a bird of war their pennon flew.
With clank of scabbards and thunder of
steeds,
And blades that shine like sunlit reeds,
And strong brown faces bravely pale
For fear their proud attempt shall fail,
On twice ten thousand gallant foes.
Line after line the troopers came
To the edge of the wood that was ring'd
with flame,
Rode in and sabered and shot-and fell
Nor came one back his wounds TO tell.
And full in the midst rose keenan,, tall
In the gloom, like a martyr awaiting his
} fall;
While the circle-stroke of his saber,
swung
Round his head. like a halo there,
luminous hung.
Line after line; ay. whole platoons,
Struck dead in their saddles, of brave
Dragons
BY the maddened horses were onward
borne
And in the vortex flung, trampled and
torn;
As keenan, fought with his men, side by
side.
So they rode till there were no more to
ride
But over them, lying there, shattered and
mute
What deep echo rolls?-'Tis a death sa-
lutte
From the cannon in place; for heroes,
you braved
Your fate not in vain; the army was
saved
Over them now-year following year
Over their graves the pine-cones fall,
And the whip-poor-will chants his spec
tre-call;
But they stir not again; they raise no
cheer;
They have ceased. But their glory shall
never cease,
Nor their light be quenched in the light
OF peace,
The rush of the charge is resounding
still
That saved the army at Charlottesville.

Spraying to Kill Weeds.

The Wisconsin Experiment Station
has been experimenting with sprays
for the destruction of weeds in farm
crops, with a power sprayer which Is
capable of delivering a fine mist at
from so to 100 pounds pressure at the
nozzle. and finds that spraying may
be cheaply and effectively done. A
sprinkler or spraying machine which
will deliver the liquid at such low
pressure that it forms in drops on
the leaves will not meet the require
ments. as the drops will roll of the
leaves.
The best mixture for spraying pur-
poses of this nature was found to be
made by dissolving 100 pounds OF iron
suiphate (copperas) in fifty-two gal
Ions of water. Stir with hoe until
dissolved and then strain into the
spraying machine through several
thicknesses of cheese cloth. In other
words, make a 20 per cent solution
and use it In the form of fine spray
for the destruction of such weeds as
Canada thistle, stink weed, wild mus
tard, wild radish, marsh elder. dande-
lions, cocklebur, ETC. This would prob
ably be too expensive for large acre
age. but would do for lawns and gar
dena

PROFITS I'm Dairying.

Few farmess OF dairymen fully un.
derstand all the profits from dairying.
Most of them count only the value
of the milk or butter Sold If they
sell only the cream or butter and It
does not AMOUNT TO a large per cent
more than the cost Of feed, they con-
slider that they are losing money in
the operation. This, however, is not
a rational business way of looking at
the case.
In dairying, where whole milk Is
sold, manure Is still a product that
should be considered. Where cream
or butter alone is sold, skim milk and
manure are two products which to-
gether, IL rightly handled, can be
made of as much actual value as the
cream or butter product. In both cases
calves sold for veal can not be count
ed as yielding any profit, since 1t
often costs as much or more TO grow
them as they bring on the market
But, however, good profit may be mao e
in raising heifers for dairy purposes.
These profits may be increased If the
cows are pure bred and served by a
pure bred male af a high-record fam
lily. 1t is also true when good common
dairy cows are bred to high-grade,
pure-bred dairy male, the resulting
heifers being grade animals. The good
grade or pure-bred heifers are in
great demand all over the country at
good prices, and whether they are
used at home or sold for milk cows,
there Is good money in handling them.
Where pure-bred animals are kept,
some of the male calves may be sold
at high prices for breeding purposes.
Except In special cases, where high
prices are obtained for whole milk
from ice cream factories or from spe-
cial customers, the most profitable
dairying is in selling cream or butter
only. SKINNED milk on the open
market will bring but 10 TO 20 cents
per 100 pounds. This is claimed to be
it's actual value, yet much more than
this can be made from it In judicious-
y
in connection with grain and other
dry feeds Also, when the milk is fed
on the farm, a portion of it returns 10
the soil as fertilizer, and the labor
of hauling it to market is saved For
those who can sell their cream to a
good advantage, or can make butter
and secure a good trade for it, this
form of dairying offers the greatest
profits.
AS farming land becomes scarce and
high priced, farmers in general are
coming to realize the Importance of
making their land as fertile and pro-
ductive as possible. The large, final
profit of the dairy to the man who
owns his own land is the manure, by
which he is not only able to grow lar
ger crops, but to increase the fertil-
ity and actual money value Gu his
farm.-Inter Ocean.

SxysrminE of Bees.

1t Is now swarming times with the
bees in most central and southern
counties of this state, and perhaps a
few words on this subject would be of
Interest to the apiarist BY most
bee-keeperg the swarming of bees
lis hailed with great delight and
looked on as q sure sign of q
bountiful honey harvest a little
later on. This, however, is not looked
on with so much favor by the prac-
teal apiarist> Still it is a question
with many whether colony that has
swarmed with its increase will store
more honey in a season or whether
one that does not swarm will store the
most. This, l am sure, depends on
The locality and the source from which
your surplus honey is gathered. In
this locality our first surplus honey
usually comes from the mesquite
bloom in April, and the flow usually
lasts from twelve to fifteen days. With
favorable weather and the bees kept
free from the swarming fever We count
on from thirty-five to forty pounds Of
surplus honey to the colony, but should
the bees contract the swarming fever
about the time the flow from the mes
quite starts, then our hopes for
honey crop for the present is gone,
for bees bent on swarming will not
store honey to the extent that colony
will that han no thought of swarm
ing. However, locality and time of
honey flow has all to do with this.
Our object in this locality is to do all
we can to prevent swarming until
after this honey flow, IL we expect the
best results i'll honey from this source.
To allow them to swarm at this
time would SO divide up the working
force OF the bees that neither the par
ent colony nor the new swarm would
likely store much surplus honey from
this short flow. Should the flow come
from horsemint in June or from the
cotton bloom in July Or August, then
the case is different, and 1t is only
reasonable to suppose that the colony
and Its increase would store more
surplus honey than the colony that
had early, say the 1st of April, so that
the two colonies would have time to
regain their working force before the
later flows come. Always try to keep
the working force together when a
honey flow is near at hand. Give
plenty of room for the surplus honey
and see that all colonies are strong in
bees. This IL the secret Of success In
apiculturs.-L. B. Smith in Galveston
News.

Living Posts OF Catalina.


1t is very common practice among
the farmers of the Wabash Valley.
where the Catalpa speciosa abounds in
the ''slashes" or bottom lands along
the rivers, to set these trees along
the roadside and along fence lines
where they may serve as posts to sup
port wire fences.
Many farmers string their telephone
wires along on these trees, or living
telephone poles.
The trees seldom receive any care,
and do not always make as we'll
shaped trunks as when grown in for
est or in solid hlocks-few trees do
still they serve their purpose and are
a very great advance over dead posts,
besides, ones planted, they remain 100
years.
1t is probable have seen fully 1000
miles of such trees, to which the wires
are attached, besides large numbers
more recently set.
The trees may stand from four to
twenty feet apart-just as the fancy
of the owner suggests. If set four
feet apart many may be cut out in
eight or ten years, for sundry uses,
leaving enough to maintain the fence.
