a Wonderful Company.

This story hasn't missed Grand
Army reunion for thirty years:
A group Of Sherman's men were
camped for week near the cottage Of
a widow who owned a few acres of
poor land and good COW. She pros
pered amazingly during our stay by
selling pies and cakes to the soldiers
and furnishing the headquarters with
milk
The general Issued most stringent or
ders against any foraging on her little
property and was decidedly angry
when the widow reported that she
could furnish no milk because the sol
diers had been milking her COW. He
hurried TO the company nearest the
widows home and called the captain.
II don't know anything about it,"
the captain assured him. "but If my
men have been stealing milk it will be
easy to find it out-my men don't lie."
He summoned his bugler and ordered
him to sound the assembly. The COM
pany fell in and stood at attention.
The captain addressed them briefly,
telling of the complaint. and ordered
any man who had been guilty of milk
ing the widows COW to step to the
front
The company moved forward as one
man. except the first sergeant
The general was astonished and
somewhat curious. "How is it, SER
geant,' he asked, that when all the
rest have been stealing milk you re-
frainedT
General, replied the soldier. IL
can't milk; | held the cow"
The general turned to the captain
and saluted Captain, this is the first
company of George Washingtons
ever saw. Dismiss your company, sir"

one night with Houdini, your American
fellow who breaks out of jails and all
that, and after they'd had a fearful
lot of beer this marvellous memory chap
invites Houdini to come home with

Own a Cream Separator.

There are number of very good rea-
sons why farmer should own and op-
crate a cream separator.
First.-There is little or no loss OF
skimmilk. which Of course has a high
feeding value.
Second.-There is less danger of In
PRODUCING such contagious diseases as
tuberculosis into the herd if the milk
is skinned at home and only the milk
produced upon the farm is fed.
Third.-Time is saved by not hauling
whole milk to the factory.
Fourth.-Less products have to be
cared for upon the farm.
Fifth.-There is a wider market fol
cream than for milk.-S. +. Lee, Wis
