'Who ar Kir '.
The following story is told of Col
onel Samuel Colt, who, in his life
time, was sometimes inclined to be a
trifle pompous. Wben be was build
ing dwelling houses for tbe work
men employed io bis great pistol fac
tory, he one day encountered a boy
picking up chips on bis grounds.
"What are you doing here ?" he
said, gruffly.
"Picking up chips, sir," replied tbe
youngster, evidently unawed by the
great presence.
"Perhaps," said tbe Colonel, draw
ing himself up with dignity, "you
don't know who I am. I am Colonel
Samnel Colt, and I live in tbat big
bouse op yonder."
The boy straightened up swelled
out and answered :
"Pei haps you don't know who 1
am I'm Patrick Morpby, and I live
in that shanty down yonder," point
ing in the direction.
Sonny," said ti e Colonel, blandly
patting the boy o.i the bead, "go on
and pick up all tbe chips you
want, and-wtcn you get out, come
back for more."
A man recently entered a Utiea
restaurant and ordered a very elabor
ate dinner. He lingered long at tbe
table and finally wound up with a
bottle of wine. Then lighting a ci
gar.be bad ordered, he leisurely saun
tered up to the counter and said to the
proprietor :
'Very fin? dinner, landlord. Just
charge it to me ; I haveu't got a
cent.
'But I don't know you,' said the
proprietor indignantly.
'Of course you don't. If you had
you wou!dnt have let me have ;he
dinner.'
'Well, you must pay me for the dii.
oer, I say
'And pay I can't.'
'I'll see aboat that,' said the pro
prietor, who snatched a revolver out
of a drawer, leaped over the jter
und collared tbe man, exclaiming as
tie pointed it at bis bead. Now see
if yon will get away without paying
for it, yo scoundrel.'
'What is tbat vou hold in your
band ?" said the impecunious custom
er, drawing back.
That, sir, is a revolver.'

Geo. Washington seldom indulged
in a joke, or sarcasm but wben be
did, be always made a decided hit.

There re three distinct
races
of
Americans in Mississippi, and each
one of them has paid the price of the
blood of its martyrs for daring to ex
ercise the civil rights of all American
citizens.
Three widows one from each
race told us bow their husbands
were murdered last autumn, because
tbey were members of the Republican
party, and believers in the Republican
creed. There was no other cause for
their slaughter.
II.
Mrs. Haffa has told hor story.
Mrs. Caldwell shall now tell hers,
she is an octoroon one of a class
! whose historv is the most thrilling
I i -i i i" . i : i:r.
aui me suuueot iu uur .tuicm au mc,
a history full of romance and of trag
edv. No one bearing her cold doubt
that she spoke the truth.
III.
She was the wife once of as brave
a soul as ever trod the soil of Missis
sippi. He was a man without fear
and without reproach. He was tbe
lion-beart of bis race. He was a
(uiet citizen never seen in drunk
en tiuarrels; but no man dare I to in
sult bim, and be was too brave him
self to offer a personal indignity to
anv one. Ilcsitecting his own regal
manhood, he respected the rights of
every one, and lie was reflected iiy
H for bis cbirader and courage
lie
was a slave before tbe war. When
! bis chains fell, and the march of the
i bovs in blue had beaten a road for
I bis raca to advance in, be soon rose
! to the dignity of State Senator, and
filled his duties at tbe Capitol with
modesty and ability. He belonged
to the most moderate division of bis
nartv. He stood bv the Sjuthern
men, Judge Cabiuis, fr example, f.ir
whom be called in bis hour o( agony
Judge Cabinis, who was armed
among tbe armed crowd who riddled
bim, unarmed and defenseless and
dying, with raunket balls this old
Mississippian was made a Chancellor
by the persisteLt efforts of Caldwell
io bis behalf, against all the protests
and oppositiou of the Northern men
in tbe Legislature. Self-taught,
never charged with corruption, the
ex-slave, as Senator, showed tbat be
bad tbe spirit of a true statesman, for
he passed by the dead past, with its
wrongs and passions and prejudices,
and acted in the living present, with
reference solely to tbe facta of to-day.
"He was a strong man," said a Mis
siesippian who did not like him, 'not
much of a speaker, but be would
make a lucid and strong staleraent of
fact The character of bis speeches
was friendly to the white people.
He was on terms of friendship with
the best men in this town." He al
ways counseled moderation and
peace.
IV.
Unlike Mr. Haffa, be was a South
ern man in all his traits. HaffVslJua
ker training taught him to overlook
and forgive an insult. He again and
again submitted to bullying and
tbrea's, and lie nerer sought to pun-ii-h
or to injure tbe ruffians who whip
ped him.
Not so the Senator. Caldwell
killed two voung ruffians who at
tempted to assassinate him, and be
was tbe lirst colored man in tbe Mate
who ever dared to strike down a
white in self defense
He was at the Clinton Republican
eatberioir on the Moss Hill barba-
cuc and there, and later on, at tbe
November election, bis voice and bis
influence were for-pcace and patience
and moderation. But wben tbe
Nicksburg"Modocs" came dowo in
September, and secured tbe country
for men wbonilbey could safely kill,
they determined to murder Caldwell,
tbe bravest of the colored leaders of
all the region round about.
From testimony not given before
the committee because it would bave
imperiled tbe life of tbe witness but
from the affidavit recently in my pos
session of a citizen of Clinton well
known and respected there it ap-
pcarstbat the plan devised for the
murder of Caldwell was to coax him
into a cellar and shoot him there, and
report that be was killed in a drunken
lira I or "accidentally." It was
once arranged to have Governor
Ames killed in his own mansion, io
at "by accident" in the
ir ..I quarrel tbat was to be

to t. We mnand of a colored militia

of M .-i--, jii, by Governor Ames,
after 'ha t ' i iton riot, and on tbe sng
gcti ! an I recommendation of Pres
Hem Grauc He marched with it to
Edwards Station.
And now the widow of the brave
Captain shall tell tbe story of ber
husband's death; and of her lonely
search for him, and of the desecration
of the corpse by the same banditti
who had told her, nearly four months
before, that they would murder him,
saying, "We have orders to kill him
if it is two years, or one year, or six,
no difference, we are going to kill
bim anvbow."

My husband told bim no, he didn't
want any Christmas.
"He said, 'Von must take a drink
with me,' and entreated him, and
said, 'Vou must take a drink "
' He then took bim by the arm and
told bim to drink for a Curistmas

As they struck tbeir glasses, tht

there, and be lell on tbe ground.
When be was first shot, he called for
Judge Cabinis, and called for Mr.
Chilton: I don't know who else. Tbej

around with their guns; oobody went

and called to him two or three times.
Don't shoot me and Charles said,
'Come in, be wouldn't hurt bim and
take him out of tbe cellar;' that be
wanted to die in tbe open air, and did
not want to die like a dog closed op.
Wben thej had taken bim oat he was
in a manner dead, just from that oe

I and be only asked one question, so
Parson Nelson told me to tae mm
home and let him see his wife before
he died; that be could not live long.
. - t
It was only tew steps to my oouse,
and they would not do it, and some
said this. Nelson carried bim to the
middle of the street, and the men all
hallooed, 'We will save him while
we're got bim; dead men tell no
tales.' Preai her Nelson told me so.
That is what they all cried, 'We'll
save bim while we've got him; dead
wen tell no tales.' bether he stood
upright there in the street while
thev riddled him with thirty or forty
of tbeir loads, of course I do not know,
but tbey 6bot bim all tbat many limes

bringing them op this way, so be
said: 'Remember when you kill me
you kill a gentleman and . a brave

I want you to remember it when I
am gone.' Nelson told me tbat, and
he said that he never begged tbem,
and tbat he never told them, but to
see how a brave man could die. Tbey
can end no cause; but some said they
killed bim because be carried the
militia to Edwards, and they meant
to kill bim for that. The time tbe
gans were sent there he was Captain
under Governor Ames, and tbey said
thev killed him for tbat; rr obeying
Governor Ames."

HeTe is a picture of a lonely wo
man irrooDioir throueh a village that
would bave passed into art and tiis
tory and song, if it bad beea Csar's
wifc wuo thus, thrusting aside armed
men, sought her dead lord that Em
peror who did not die with greater
dignity than the noble Mississippi
freedman. "1 do not know," said
Mrs. Caldwell, "what my husband is
doing down town, until just nearly
dusk, a colored man come and says.
Mrs. Caldwell, you bad better go
down and see about Mr. Caldwell; I
think tbe white folks will kill bim;
tbey are getting tbeir guns and pis
tols, and you had better go and get
your husband away from town.' I
did not go myBelf, but went to Prf.
Bell, and said would be go and get
him. Mr. Bell went, and he never
came back at all until he came back
nnder arrest. I was at my room un
til just nearly dark. Tbe moon was
quite young, and tbe chapel bell rang.
We live right by it. I knew tbe
minute tbe bell tolled what it meant.
And the young men that lived right
across tbe street, when tbe bell tolled
tbey rushed right out, tbey went
through tbe door, and some slid down
the window and over tbey sprang;
some went over the fence. They all
ran to tbe chapel and got their guns
There were a hundjed and fifty guns
there to my own knowing; had been
there since tbe riot at lha Baptist
chapel. Tbey all got tbeir guns. I
went down town, and then all got
ahead everywhere I went, and some
of them wanted to know who I was,
but I bid my face as well as I could.
I said -woman,' and did not tell wbo
I was. As I got to town I went to
go into Mr. Chilton's store, and every
store was closed that quick, for it was
early, about C o'clock. All tbe other
stores were closed. Clinton's was
lit up by a big chandelier, and as I
went over tbe lumber-yard I saw a
dead man. I stumbled over him,
but I did not know who it was, and I
went into Chilton's, and as I put my
foot np on the store steps, standing as
close, maybe a few feet (everything
was engaged in U tbat day I, there
was Judge Cabinis, who was a panic
ular friend of ray husband, a particn
lar friend to bim. lie was standing in
tbe centre with a gnn with a blue
strap, io tbe centre of tbe jam; and as
I went to go in they cursed me, and
threatened to hurt me, and make it
hot for me,' and the Judge among
the balance; but be said be didn't
know me afterward. And tbey all
stood; nobody would let me go in,
tbey all stood there with tbeir guns.
I knew there was two dead men there,
but I did not think it was my bus-
band at the time. I stood right there;
and as I stood they said to me, 'If
you don't get away they would make
it damned hot for me,' and I did not
say anytbing and walked off, and
walked right over the dead man. He
was right in my path where I found
tbe body. He was lying broadside
on tbe street. I then stopped and
tried to see who he was. and tbey
were cursing at me to get out of the
town, to get out. Then I went up,
and there was Mrs. Bates across tbe
sfeet, my next door neighbor. I
seed ber little girl come np by us and
she said, 'Aunt Ann, did you see my
uncle here?' I said ' I did not. I
saw a dead body on the street; I did
not see who he was.' She said
What in tbe world is going on dowo
town:' Says I, 'I don't know, only
killing people there.' She says 'Aaron
Bates' hand is shot all to pieces, and
Ir. Bangs is killed.' lie was not
killed, but was 6hot in tbe leg; no
body killed but my husband and
brother,

"I went orer to the house, and
went np stairs and back to tnr room.
np Preacher Nelson and he called
roe. I was away op stars. He
called several times, and I beard
him call each time. He called three
or four times, and says: 'Answer,
don't be afraid; nobody will hurt
yon.' He says- 'Don't be afraid;
answer me;' and, after I had made
up my mind to answer, I asked him
what be wanted, and he said, 'I have
come to telljvou tbe daws, and it is sad
news tf you. Nobody told me to
come, but I come op to tell you.' I
didn't say anything. 'Your husband
is dead,' be said; 'he is killed, and
"Jlitical.
your brother, too, Sam.' I nerer
said anything for a good while. He
told mo nobody would hurt me, then,
and wben I did speak, says 1, 'Mr.
Nelson, why did tbey kill bioi?' He
says, 'I don't know anything about
iu' He said just those words: '1
don't know anyth:ng about it.' He
says, after that, 'Have you any men
folks about the place?' I says No.'
He Bays: 'You shan't be hurt; don't
be afraid of us; you shan't be hurt.'
1 never said anything whatever. He
went off. After a length of lime
Prof. Hillmao, of the Institute, the
young ladies school or college, he
brought the bodies to the bouse;
brought op my husband, bim and
Frank Martin. Prof. Hillman and
Mr. Nelson bad charge of tbe dead
bodies, and they brought them to the
bouse; and wben tbey brought them,
tbey carried them into tbe bedroom,
both of tbem, and put them there;
they seed to having tbem laid out,
and fixed up, and all of that. Mr.
Nelson said in my presence, I listened
at bim, be said, 'A braver life never
bad died than Charley Caldwell. II -never
saw a man die with a manlier
spirit in his life.' He told me he bad
brought him out to tbe cellar."
The dead body which Mrs Caldwell
stumbled over twice was tbe corpse
of her husband's brother Sam, who
happened to be ridding into town' at
the time of tbe assassination, and wto
was killed tbat be might tell no tales.
"When they shot him, said tbe wid
ow, "tbey said tbat tbey shot bim for
fear he would go out of town, and
bring other people and raise a fuss.
He found out, I suppose, that tbey
hBj j,;., brother in the cellar, si
be just lay there dead; be tbat was
never known to shoot a gun or pistol
io his life never knew bow. Sams
wife was there at the time with her
three little children."

Is the reader quite sure that he
knows tbe year of grace and the
name of the country we live in? Let
him stamp the year and Republic in
bis memory agaio before be reads the
rest of the widow's story: "After the
bodies were brought to my house,
Prof. Hillman and Martin all staid
until 1 o'clock, and then at 1 o'clock,
tbe train came from Vitksburg with
the 'Murdocs.' They all marched
up to my house ami went in to where
tbe two dead bodies laid, and they
cursed them, those dead bodies, there
and tbey danced, and threw open the
melodeon, and sung all their songs,
and challenged tbe dead body to get
up and meet them, and tbey carried
on there like a parcel of wild Indians
over those dead bodies, these Vic-ks-burg

colored folks were sitting up in tbe
room, and tbey carried on all that in

"Then the day after that Judge
Cabinis aeked me was there anything
be could do, and I told bim, I said,
'Judge you have already done too
much for me.' I told bim be had
murdered my husband, and I didn't
waut any of his friendship. Ibose
were the words I told bim the next
day, and be swore he did not know
me tbat time; but I saw Judge l ao
inis with Ibis crowd that killed my
husband. I saw bim right in tbe

He said be did everything be could
for Charles, and that he was crazy.
Well, tbey could not tell anything be

intended to kill him because, for car

obeying Governor Ames, and tbat

J. R.
Sam Tii.hen says he and bis New
York partners had a perfect right to
those Alton and Terrc Haute bonds
which the stockholders say they stole.
But here is what Mr. fiarrisoo, Presi
dent of tbe road at the time Tilden
was called in, says.
In 1859 I picked up this road the
Terre Haute, Alton "and St. Louis
railroad a waif. - Its men had not
been paid for five months. For pro
tection against execution iu fuel was
paid for as it was delivered npoo tne
engines. 1 carried it alone tor six
months, and indorsed for it personally
in all, including renewals, to the sum
of more than f "iOO.OOO. I gave it all
my time and all my abilities, and af
ter (our years I delivered it np worth
$0,000,000. Five thousand a year,
without any commission for endors
ing, was all I was paid all I de
manded ; but if there is any such
merit in service as is asserted, and if
Mr. lilden or the. rvnhuximj Com-
mitlfe were entitled to steal 1:200,000
or 300,000 of bond, then I claim it
was my honest right to have stolen
tbe railroad itself.
Tub New York Tribune publishes
the following letter from an old sub
scriber. It is as good as a slap in the
face: m
"I bave been a subscriber to the
TriUune for many years, and had a
great respect for Mr. Greeley a man
fearless in tbe right, sayiug what be
meant and meaning what be said,
and although an opponent of General
Gant ia the political field, yet as an
editor never speaking otherwise than
respectfully of him. I am truly pain
edtor see the Tribune' perpetual ti
rade against President Grant. Po
litically it does harm to the cause of
Haves and WKeeler and tbe Repub
lican party. It does no good any
how. Would yon quarrel with an
old horse tbat bad long served you if
he should now and then behave un
ruly? As a whole, General Grant has
done remarkably well, and deserves
a nation's gratitude, and you should
not be too severe on some of bis
eccentricities. You seem to take a
sarage delight in making the worst
of what he does. Yon hurt your pa
per very much bj your course, what
ever you may think. It is very bad
taste."
Those cowardly Republicans who
now hasten to joio io the clamor
agaiost Grant should reflect upon the
character'of tbe company they keep.
Every ex-Confederate, every sympa
thizer witb the late rebellion, hates
General Grant because be was the
leader of tbe armies of tbe Union.
It is not on account of his civil ser
vice that the Democratic party bates
Grant, but oo account of bis military
career. He whipped tbe rebels; be
destroyed tbe Confederacy ; be made
the very name of the Democratic
party a hissing and a hv-word, be
cause that party was i-o deeply
vol red in tbe rebellion. It is
tbese services to the Union that
Democratic party detests Grant

An article in the Hertnue Ilorfi
cote translated, and published in tbe
Farme r, (Eng.,) contains some points
worthy of attention by our American
firmer?, as the same principles which
govern tbe growth of this tuber io
Europe are also potent here. Wben
we want to regenerate any particular
kind of potato, or still more, to pre
vent its degeneration, it is of tbe
first importance to make a judicious
selection of parent plants. Several
means may be adopted to this end.
For example, the choice of the larg
est possible tubers which represent
well tbe marked features of the vari
ety, since the too frequent setting of
small tubers tends to deterioration.
Another plan is to choose tbe seed,
when digging up the crop, from tbe
well tarnished roots, and select the
tubers which are most typical of tbe
special variety under treatment.
Tbe shapt of tbe tuber need not
be too much considered. Some peo
ple imagine tbat tubers which differ
from the usual shape of the k od to
w hich tbey belong, are of necessity
degenerate specimens, but this is aa
error. Tubers may be not exactly
of the shape characteristic tf the va
riety, and yet produce well shaped
potatoes in tbe tollowing year, as
a rule tbe shape of various kind nf
potatoes differs according to the na
ture of the soil in which they are cul
tivated. For e; a nple, it is generally
suppoeed that tbe "Marjouliu" ought
to be long aud narrow; nevertheless,
somelieht sandy soils produce it in a
swollen, and sometimes even round-j
ed form, though it turns out long and
narrow if grown io stiff soil. It is a
general physiogical fact, common to
almost all plants, aud specially mark
ed in the case of tbo potato, tbat if
they are planted early every year,
their precocity increases, whilst by
reveising the course of action the
contrary effect is produced, and they
tend to become later in attaining full
growth. The same result appears if
we plant successively in a cold soil
In this case they become later in ar
riving at maturity, while the contra
ry happens if we select a warm
ground. Again it is almost certain
that if we take the first buds that are
developed on a potato for planting,
the crop will lie earlier than if we
planted with the second buds, or still
more with those of a third germiua
tion. It results from ail this, tbat
amongst the various precautions to be
taken in attempting to maintain or
even improve any variety of potato,
a judicious choice of tubers for plant
ing hjof especial importance.
The employment of seeds pro(erly
so called, might also perhaps be re
sorted to, sometimes advanta.geously
so. But Low open must we not 8 iw
beforo we get good types, and good
varieties as & result? Sull, notwith
standing its uucertaiuty, ibis method
should no, be neglected. It is gener-
lly believed that certain kinds of po
tatoes, such as tlie ".Marjoulin," nei
ther flower nor run to seed. This
agaio is an error. All potatoes will
flower and yield seed wben tbey are
very strongly manured and are in a
coudition of exuberant vegetation;
but it is none tbe less true ibat there
. . .
are some varieties wnose natural
strength leads them to flower and
seed more freely than others.
Principle of farm late .
The better to retain importaot facts
in tbe memory, I am ever fond of re
ducing tbe principals of good farm
ing to brief maxims and rules, com
pressing into a single short sentence
tbe gist of many a page. Thus I
carry about tbe menta! pabulum to be
digested at tbe handle of the plow or
hoe. Tbe following are some ol tbese
principles:
1. The farmer who" would succeed
well, and derive pleasure as well as
profit from bis calling, mast manifest
an active and abiding interest in his
vocation. It takes heart-work to
make band work pleasant.
2. The farmer must study how
best to increase and maintain fertility
to his soils. There is no inertia io
agriculture. There must lie progress,
either forward or retrograde.
.". The farmer must strive to in
crease the finality as well as tbe quan
tity of bis crc ps. It is the quality
that determines tbe price. In this
"Excelsior" should be bis unvarying
motto.
4. Tbe farmer must seek witb a
watchful eye to improve bis market
facilities. It is transportation that
eats up tbe profits.
f. Tbe art of raising better stock
is not as well known as it should be.
Keep no more animals tban you
bave the facilities to feed aud care for
well.
fi. The farmer must seek to im
prove his social, intellectual ant
financial condition.
4 rVrfrr farmer.
To be a perfect farmer, a man
should combine reading, observation
and practice.
A man may work in the fields all
his life and be a poor farmer. We
should gain knowledge by reading
and study, and also by wbat we see
around us, and then this knowledge
must be put into practice. Our vie s,
if they will not stand tbe test of ac
tual experiments, are worthless. All
sound theory is based upon practice
and all sensible practice is tbe result
of well grounded information, wheth
er learned by our own observation or
from tbe experience of others. That
theory wbicb will not stand tbe test
of experience is worthless, and tbat
practice wbicb is not based upon
sound theory is equally worthless.

Wben should clover be plowed un
der to obtain great manurial benefit?
is a query found io our drawer this
week. No better answer can be giv
en tban Mr. Low's when tbe plants
are coming into flower, for then they
contain the largest quantity of readi
ly soluble matter, and bave least ex
hausted tbe nutritive substance of
tbe soil. If left till tbe plant matures
seed, part of the object is defeated,
i tbe recuperation of tbe soil.
The work sbould be done while tbe
weather Is warm, so as to promotethe

We are io receipt of many letters
at this season in regard to the makiog

respondents tell us that tbe butter
comes soft, or it won't come at all, no
matter how long churned, or that it
is full of whitish speck when it does

might be a long chapter. Now, to
all tbese inquiries we must say it is
tbe high temperature tbat is causing
so much trouble. Keep the milk and
cream cool and out of direct currents

the greater part of tbem, will disap-
AGRICULTURAL.
Htmrtj la aa Faala.
Among the many remedies given
for this disease, the following from
tbe Poultry Sation is probably as
good as any io use:
Remedies for this unsightly ai. la
dy are often given, but in answer to
numerous inquiries we give the treat
ment we are at present nsing, when
necessary. It is simply to aonoiot
the legs and toes of affected fowls
twice a week, till cured, with a mixt
ure composed of carbon oil, one gill;
surphur, one-half .ounce; stir well to
gether, and add one gill of fish or
lard oil and thirty to forty drops of
pure carbolic acid. Stir well before
using, and apply with a brush or
cloth, soaking it well io.
Scaly or scurvy legs is caused by a
mioute insect that barrows in the
sail under the scales of the shank of
the fowl's legs. The insect is invis
ible, except nnder the microscope,and
is similar to the "sheep scab" and
"itch" parasite. Tbe first indication
of tbe diteisris a slightly roughened
appearance of tbe inside shank, near
tbe bock jo nt. It dtve!opes rapidly
till tbe tCiies are entirely destroyed,
aud replaced by irregular, eularging,
warty excrescences, encrusting the
whole shank from the bock to the
toes. The application of our remedy
will kill the cause, and the crust will
crumble away, leaving the legs
smooth, but once destroyed, tbe nat
ural scale can never be restored.
This disease is infectious by contact
and imcjlalion. It is not apt to
spread amoog fowls where their
perches are often saturated witb car
bon oil, or wben nnder treatment lor
it. It must be swiftly and surely
transmitted by hatching hens and
mothers to small chicks. IJ.eeders
cannot be too careful in selecting hens
for maternal duties having no trace
of the affection. A little thorough
ness on its appearance will make an
easy cure.
laoa't Oall Ik Traalfc.
Turnips are a profitable crop, if
grown on rich land. Five hundred
bushels to the acre are often grown
at a cost of about (115, including
gathering and putting tbem in a cel
lar, root house, or burying tbem, mak
ing the cost only three cents a bush
el. Some varieties may be sown ia
July, the flat variety in particular,
which U frequently sown among corn,
immediately after tbe last hoeing.
Care should be taken not to sow tbe
seed too thick, as thinning out a not
generally practiced when grown in
tbis way; nor is any weeding done.
rbis is deciuealy tbe cheapest way
that a crop of turnips can be grown
Cover tbe seed by a brush drag,
drawn between the rows of corn.
Some farmers object to growing tur
nips to feed to cows, on account of
giving the milk an unpleasant flavor;
out this is obviated by feeling tbe
turnips either when milking in tbe
morning, or immediately after milk
ing, and no bad flavor is imparted to
the evening's milk.
raaey Farmer.
No jlass of men bave been ridicul

who are dencmioated fancy farmers.
Tbey have been, ia all limes and

who have treated tbem with derision.
Tbey bave been to farmers what in
ventors bave been to manufacturers.
Tbey bave experimented for the good
of tbe world, whilj others bave sim
ply w-. rked for their own good. Tbey
bave tested theories while others have
raised crops for market. Tbey have
given a dignity and glory to tbe oc
cupation of farming it never bad be
fore. Fancy farmers have changed tbe
wild boar into the Suffolk and tne
Berkshire; the wild bull of Britain
into tbe Short-born; tbe mountain
sheep, witb its lean body and bair
lleece, into tbe Southdown and the
Merino. Tbey brought up tbe milk
of cows from pints to gallons. Tbey
bave lengthened tbe sirloin of tbe
bullock, deepened tbe ndder of the
cow, enlarged the ham of the hog,
given strength to tbe sboulder of ibe
ox, rendered finer the wool of tbe
sheep, added Heetness to tbe speed of

animals, till tbey hardly resemble tbe

Since the declaration by Prof. Ki
ley, that bees make honey and do not
simply gather it, the subject has been
discussed witb some energy by bee
keepers, wbo genet ally hold to tbe
opposite view. A. correspondent of
tbe imrnhjic Amem-an says:
Is it not astonishing to find tbe
professors at this day state that bees
make boney? A good conimon stand
of bees, having but short distance to
travel, will increase their stock of
boney from one to two pounds in 3
hours' fair work- What cbauce j8
there here lor a digestive process?
Place three pounds of loaf sugar
sirup within easy reach of such a
stand at 8 p. m ; it will all be taken
np and stored away before sunrise
next morning. I once thus experi
mented: After feeding to about forty hives
nine barrels of Cuba boney, npoo ex
amination I found no difference be
tween tbat in tbe comb cells and tbat
in tbe barrels, only tbe former was
clearer from dirt. Tbe boney becom
ing exhausted, I then fed tbe bees
during tbe rest of tbe fall with loaf
sugar sirup. Upon examination next
spring I found the comb cells filled
solidly witb well grained loaf sugar,
precisely like that I bad dissolved to
feed tbe bees witb. Other comb
cells were partly filled witb Cuba
boney aod partly with ground loaf
sugar.

done, dry the parts well, and be
careful to rpmove the soapy matter
thoroughly from tbe sore, in order to
prevent the collection of dirt Then
dress the heels with a lotion compos

In one-quarter of an honr after using
