"The Old Yellow Almanac."
When Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote the
poem, having for title the utimo heading as
this: article, she touched a chord that vi
brated in thousands of heart*. For Ayer'i
Almanac, "The Old Yellow Almanac" ol
the poem, is Intimately associated with the
days and deeds of a large part of the world's
population. How large a part of the popu
lation this general statement may include
cau ho gathered from the fact that the
yearly b-sue of Ayer's Ahnanae is from
17,000,000 to 25,000,000 copies. It is printed
in twenty-eight editions and in some
eighteen languages, including, besides Eng
lish—Spanish, Portii'.'uose, Dutch, Gnrmnu,
Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Bohemian,
Welch, Italian, French, etc. The old style
almanac is looked upon by many as a relio
of untiquity, especially the "patent medi
cine almanac," whose jokes are the butt
often of the very papers in whose columns
they ilrst appeared. But there ure almanacs
and almanacs. Ever aiuco Dr. Ayer's
Almanac has been put out it has employed
us high a class of mathematical ami astro
nomical talent as is available in the country.
The result is that it stands on a par, in
respoct of the reliability of its data and the ,
accuracy of its calculations with the U. H.
Nautical Almanac, ami testimony to this fact
is louud year after year in the letters, re
ferred to the almauae department of the

PROTECTION FROM WEEVILS.
W. J. Ingram, a practical and suc
cessful farmer, who livos near Byron,
Ga., has a cheap and simple methodof
protecting his corn from weevils and
rats. He scatters Jerusalem oak weed
through his corn as it is gathered and
put in his erib in the ihuck, and the
above named pesta let it severely
alone. The oorn does not acquire
any objectionable odor or taste from
the weeds.—Baltimore Sun.
GROWING SWEET CORN FOR^TOOK.
There is a popular idea that sweet
corn is richer than common field oorn.
In fact, they are chemically just tho
same, the carbon in the sweet corn ap
pearing as sugar aud etarob, and in tho
field corn as starch alone. The sweet
corn is most palatable, therefore
probably most digestible. As the
sweet corn will not yield in either
stalks or grain as much as field oorn,
it would seem to bo a good plan to
grow field corn for the main feed and
enough sweet corn to use as a change,
or when tho appetite for starohy food
has been cloyed. But oats or wheat
middlings would be better for this
even than would sweet corn.—Ameri
can Cultivator.
COOKED FOOD.
No ono disputes the faot that birds
of all speoies in their wild state take
thoir food, be it grain, animal or veg
etable in a raw state—in a wild state
for that matter; but our poultry has
been bred so far from their natural
condition, and so much moro is re
quired of them in egg production,
weight of carcass or early maturity,
that they are called upon to live and
work at high pressure, and must have
their wants, abnormal though they be,
supplied in keopiDg with the require
ments.
One way to do this is to oook part
of their food ; this alone adds variety
if we use but one grain and feed part
of it raw and part of it cooked.
Fowls prefer some foods cooked rather
than raw; others raw to cooked, and
their preference Bbonld bo consulted.
Care must be used in feeding cooked
food to laying or breeding stock, as it
ia more fattening than raw food. In
cold weather oooked food may bo fed
warm and is greatly relished. As
cooked food is more easily digested
than raw, it is best to feed raw grain
nt night, as the time till the morning
feed is longer than between the other
feedings. Corn is an excellent evening
meal, and in winter it is well to
warm it before feeding.
The simplest way to cook poultry
feed is to boil it. The grains—oorn,
wheat, buckwheat, rice—may bo
boilod or steamod. If boiled thoy
should be kept from the bottom of the
vessel by means of a perforated plate
of sheet iron. Mush may bo made
from any of the grains ground and fed
when fresh made or eold. If fed fresh
be sure it is not too hot. Fowls have
died from being fed food that was too
hot.
Beets, turnips, potatoes, pumpkins,
may be boiled, mashed and a fine pud
ding made by thickening them with
meal of any kind, bran or middlings,
or a mixture of these. The pudding
will be more oivilized if the vegetables
are cleaned beforo beiug cooked.—

SOME OriNtON ABOUT HORSES.
Tho National Stockman and Farmer
publishes the following opinions about
raising horses. They are given by
formers; It is well to raise colts
enough for our own use and besides
have some moro coming. It takes
more potatoes or oats to buy a horse
than it did a few years ago, and it
costs about as muoli to raise them now
as then, So it is very essential that
we should have colts coming on each
year, so that wo may havo a horse or
two to sell when they are fivo or six
years old, as then they are ablo to do
any kind of work. 1 think it pays
better to raise oolts that will weigh
from twelve to fifteen hundred. I
buy and sell a good many horsos dur
ing a yoar, aud find when I have
horsos of that weight that I do not
have to look for a market for them ; as
for driving horses, I should not want
them to weigh less than twelve hun
dred. Thero are plenty of good dri
vers of that weight. Horses should bo
kept in tho very best condition into
which yo i can get them ; you can keep
them cheaper than by keeping them
thin in flesh, and they will bring
more in the market. I think that 1
can sell my hay and oats at a better
prion to feed tbom to a young, sound
horso until bo gets in first rate condi
tion, nnd then sell him, than to sell
them to the market for what thoy will
bring, besides keeping the farm in
good oonditiou.—George W. Aubcr.
The raising of trotting stock by
farmers is a question of tho past.
Perehorons and that class of stallionH
should be used with our best luares,
producing oolta that will bring paving
prieea when properly cared for" and
trained. Fivo years is about the best
age for marketing colts. At that age,
if brought up properly, they have re
turned their own part of their cost in
work performed, and should be prop
erly trained, developed, and fitted for
their life work. A horse for general
farm work should weigh between
twelvo and fourteen hundred. Horses
of that weight cost less for keeping,
in proportion to those lighter or
heavier. The feeding of farm horses
is a question worthy of much consid
l oration. The majority feed too much
balky food. Less hay and more oon
oentrated feed will keep the horse in
better form, better health, aad better
eoadition to do heavy work, and be
less expensive. Regularity ia feeding,
watering, grooming and bedding
horses is essential to their oomfort,
aud reduces the cost of maintenance
more than a little. Care bestowed
upon our horses, even if they are only
farm horses, adds muoh to their value,
and lessens tho dauger of accident,
disease and lost vitality.—W. E. Lc
land.
THE RETTING OP MILK.
There are two common methods ol
setting milk in this oounlry, one in
cans about eighteen inchoi deep nnd
eight inches in diameter, and the
other in shallow tin pans or crocks,
writos 0. S. Plumb, of the Indiana
Experiment Station. In the less pro
gressive dairy regions tho latter is tho
most common form, an l to the writer
tho most objectionable. Tho large
shallow vessels expose a groat surface
of milk or cream to tho air, ollering a
good field for catobiug dust or absorb
ing odors. Milk rapidly absorbs
odors, which fact sometimes accounts
for tho disagreeable taste of milk that
has stood in tho barn for a few min
utes after milking, subjeot to tho
smoll, etc. In view of this fact per
sons who set their milk in musty
cellars, or in pantries having a smell of
provisions, usually prodneo batter of
poor grade. The large-mouthed pan
offers the largest surface of milk to
catch these smells. Another objection
to tbis form of pan is the influence of
change of nir-temporaturo on the milk.
After beiug drawn from the oow, if it
be set, milk should be rapidly reduced
in temperature to as near forty de
grees as possible, and the temperature
kept as constant as possible thereafter.
If set on sholvos, however, in cellar or
pantry, or even in milk room, the
temperature of tho milk will be sub
ject to wide changes. On ex'remely
cold days in winter it will be very
likely to freeze, and frozen cream
never ought to be used for making
batter that is to bo sold, as it is in
ferior in quality. In very hot weather
it is almost impossible to prevent milk
so set from souring before the cream
is fully risen, so that thereby a loss
ensue?. Should tho milk sour to lop
poring, then it is impossible to skim
the cream from the surface without
gathering in some curds, more or less
of which are frequently left in the
churn among the butter, from which
they cannot be entirely separated, thus
injuring tho quality.
Tho deep can offers a better oppor
tunity for keeping tho milk under con
ditions favorable to maintaining its
good quality until skimmed. The can
may be set in eold spring water, where
available, aud the temperature of the
milk kept quite constant. Or the can
may be plaoed in a creamer in cold
well water or in ico water, aud so sot
in a eold bath, as it wore at a law tem
perature, with tho milk exposed to no
undosirablo atmosphorio odors. The
surface of milk exposed in such a can,
is comparatively small, as compared
with the larger pans, and thero is a
thicker layer of cream in consequence.
Usually tho oream is skimmed from
the pans by means of a common hand
skimmer or a largo flat scoop, while
tho commonest form of deep cau is
creamed with a conical skimmer or
dipper. Many deep cans, however,
have faucets or valves in the side at
tho bottom, or iu the bottom, through
whioh the skim milk is drawn off leav
ing the cream in the cau. This is a
better way of skimming than by re
moving from the top with a skimmer,
as tho cream is left undistuihed in the
can, and not mixed more or less with
tho milk below, daring the process of
skimming. Thero is always some loas
of eream in skimming by any hand
process, bat more by the old fashioned
surface methods than by the more
modern withdrawing of the skim milk
from below without disturbing the
operation. At the Indiana Experi
ment Station very careful experiments
were conducted comparing the skim
ming from the surface of cans, and
drawing off the milk from below. Dur
ing fifteen days in February, tho aver
age loss from surface skimming was
0.34 por cent., while that skimmed
from below showed a loss of but 0.17
per cent. This makes a very impor
tant difference, where one is setting
large quantities of raiik.
As has already been indicated, milk
should be net in some place where
smells are reduced to a minimum, and
where the temperature is constant aud
low. For this reason a creamer or
cabinet for setting milk in is very de
sirable, where a good spring house is
lackiug. In fact, if a constant cur
rout of cobl spring water could ho con
veyed through a creamer, tho milk
would be set under "better conditions
than where simply placed in open
spring water. As a rale it would bo
better proteoted from external agen
cies that might otherwise injure it.
Although muoh butter of a fine
quality is made of milk set in pans and
onus, the writer feels that if ono is
making a specialty of tine dairy but
ter, it will be hotter aud more profit
able, where six or more oows are kept,
to nee a band ssoarator.

BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS.
A DESCRIPTION OE THE ENGAGE
MENT BY GENERAL JACKSON.
A Hitherto Unpublished Letter From
"Old Hickory'* Telling How the
American Frontlersineu Won.
IN the Century William Hugh Ro
barts has au article entitled
"Nnpolcon's Interest in tho Bat
tle of New Orleans." In this is
quoted a hitherto unpublished letter
writton by General Jackson to Mr.
•James Monroe. A portion of the letter
follows:
"There was a very heavy fog on the
river that morning, and the British
had formed and were moving before I
knew it. The disposition of tho rifle
men wns very simple. They were told
off in numbers one and two. Nnmbor
ono was to lire first, then step back
and let number two shoot while ho re
loaded. About six hundred yards
from the riflemen thero was a great
drainage oanal running baok from the
Mississippi River to the swamp in the
rear of the tilled laud on which wo
were operating. Along tho canal the
British formed, under the fire of tho
few artillery pieces I had near enough
to them to get their range. But tho
instant I saw them I said to Coffee,
whom I directed to hurry to his liuo,
which was first to be attacked: 'By
—, we have got them ; they are ours!'
Coffee dashed forward, and riding
along his line, called out: 'Don't
shoot till you oan sea their belt
bueklos.' The British wore formed in
mass, well olosed up, and about two
companies front.
"The British, thus formed, moved
on at a quick stop, without firing a
shot, to within ono hundred yards of
tho kneeling riflemen, who wero hold
iug their fire until they oould see tho
belt-buckles of their onemies. Tho
British advauoo was oxocutod as
though they had been on parade.
They marched shoulder to shoulder,
with the stop of veterans,as they wero.
At ono hundred yaids' distance from
our line the order was given, 'Extend
oolumn front.' 'Double quick, march!
Charge!' With bayonets]at tho charge
they came on us at a ruu. I own it
was an anxions moment; I well knew
tho charging oolumn was mado up of
tho picked troops of tho British nrmy.
They had been trained by the Duke
himself, were eommanded by his
brother-in-law, and had successfully
held off the nblest of Napoleon's Mar
shals in the Spanish campaign. My
riflemen had never seen snob an at
taok, nor had they ever before fought
white men. Tho morning, too, was
damp ; their powder might not burn
well. 'God help us!' I muttered,
watohiug the rapidly advancing line.
Seventy, sixty, fifty, finally forty
yards, were they from tho silent
kncqling rifiemon. All of my men I
could see was their long riflos restod
on tho logs before them. They obeyed
their orders well; not a shot was fired
until tho redcoats wero within forty
yards. I heard Coffee's voioe as ho
roared out: 'Now, men, aim for the
oentre of tho cross-belts! Fire I' A
second after tho order a crackling,
blazing flash ran all along our line.
Tho smoko huug so heavily in tho
misty morning air that I could not see
what had happened. I oallod Tom
Overton and Abner Duncan, of Jiny
staff, and wo galloped toward Coffee's
line. In a few seconds after the first
fire there came another sharp, ringing
volloy. As I catno within one hun
dred and fifty yards of Coffee, tho
smoke lifted enough for me to mako
out what was happening.
"The British wero falling hack in a
confused, disorderly mass, aud the
entire first ranks of their column were
blown away. For two hundred yards
iu our frout the ground was covered
with a mass of writhing wounded,
load, and dying redcoats. By tho
time tho rifles wero wiped tho British
line was roformod, and on it oaine
igam. This time they wero led by
General Palcenham in person, gallantly
mounted, and riding as though ho was
on parade. Just before fie got within
range of Coffee's liuo I heard a single
rifle shot from a group of country
carts wo had boon using, about ouo
hundred and seventy-five yards dis
tant, and a moment thereafter I saw
Pakenham reel and pitoh out of his
saddle. I have always believed he
fell from tho bullot of a trso man of
color, who was a famous riflo-sliot,
and oamo from the Atakappas region
of Louisiana. The second advance
was precisely like tho first iu its end
ing. In five volleys tho 151) Jor more
riflemen killed and woundod 2117
British soldiors, two-thirds of them
killed dead or inortaliy wounded. I
did not know whero General Paken
ham was lying, or I should have seut
to him, or gone in person, to offer any
sorvico iu my power to render.
"I was told ho lived two hours after
ho was hit. His wouud was directly
through the liver aud bowels. Gen
eral Keouo, I hoar, was killed dead.
They sent a flag to me, asking leavo to
gather up their wounded and bury
their dead, which, of oour.se, I grant
ed. I was told by a wounded officer
that the rank and file absolutely re
fused to make a third charge. 'Wo
have no olianco with such shootiug as
these Americans do,' tlioy said."
Historic Churches doing.
London is fast losing its historic
chnrchos, which arc torn down as the
march of progress sweeps on. St.
Michael's, Wood street, is the latest to
go. SI. Michael's occupies tho site of
I a far older oktirck about which con
flict of opinion still surges. Every
ouo knows the story ol how the body
of James IV. of Sootlaud was taken
from the field of Flodden, hidden and
finally buried in St. Michael's Church.
Tho distuibiug question is whether the
body really was that of James. At
any rato the buildings which go up
over the old site might, as has been
suggested, rejoice in the name of

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common water glass with
urino and let It stan 1 twenty-four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates a diseased con
dition of tho kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the
back is also convincing proof that the kid
neys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so often
expressed, that I)r. Kilmer's Bwamp-Root,
tho great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of tho urinary pas
sagos. it corrects inability to hold urino
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects
following use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to got up many times during tho
night to urinate. Tho mild and tho extraor
dinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It slauds tho highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. Sold by drug
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar. For
a sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free

Motor and Misery.
Compressed air as a motive power for
street railways will in time supersede eleo
trio wires and the trolley. Necessity and in
vention make rapid changes, but some old,
sure, unfailing methods will hold good for
all time. The nerves are the electric wires
of tho human system, and often "jangle out
of tune," as when neuralgia slips the trolley
of the system and it gtinds and groans with
pain. Tho old motor for tho euro of pain,
Ht. Jacobs Oil, will always act as electric In
fluence on the pain stricken nerves, ana will
send a current of cure through the disor
dered wires and bring about a perfect resto-
I ration. Notning new can improve upon what
is known to be the best and surest in the
I treatment of painful disetues.
CD HE THAT COLD!
An Old K'hyalciau Gives Some Timely
Advice.
A cold in the head Is regarded as such s
simple matter that few people pay any at
■ tontion to it. The majority of cases recover
eutirely from tho effects of a cold in a fow
I weeks at most, and thus confirm tho general
i i lea that a cold amouuts to very little. Rut
thero uro a great number of apparently
, trivial colds that do not disappear. The
I oold lingers week after week, and tho pa
tient finally discovers to his horror that he
has chronic catarrh. This state of things
could easily have been prevented by takiug a
few doses of Po-ru-na when tho cold was con
tracted. Po-ru-na invariably cures colds in
a few days and saves incalou able suffering.
1 No one should neglect to keep Po-ru-na con
stantly in tho house daring the winter, as its
I value in catarrhal affections is certain.
