The late General Frank Wolford was a picturesque survival of the old-time Kentuckian. It has been said of him that lie was a cross between Davy Crockett and Bishop Bascom, „and while he said "whar" and thar" and "pint" (for point) and "sot," he knew the Bible almost by heart. Once when asked at Chamberlin's what dishes he preferred to choose from the elaborate bill of fare, he replied: "Drap dump- lin's an'd b'iled hen." He was an ideal soldier--the Forrest of the ' Federal army--yet he could not discipline his troops. When rebuked for this in a review of the Army of the Cumberland, lie said: "I know nothing about your drills and maneuvers, but my boys know how to shoot. You may take any two re'giments in the army, station them whar you please, and I will take my regiment; and what I don't kill of them I will chase out of the State of Tennessee in forty-eight hours." Hot shot as well as chain and grape shot, when first" employed, were de­ clared to be inventions of the devil, and not to be sanctioned among,civil­ ized nations.

The early spring sow­ ing and planting; then the cultivation and weeding* of the land under the plow, and the midsummer harvesting of the hay and grain crops, along with many other little matters, have kept him b*sy from early in the morning until late in the evening. The harvest is over; the hay is in the barrack or stack; the grain in the barn going through the sweating-out process, and the corn is laid by. A few days can be spared now. Give the farm over to the charge of your son or your foreman, and go to the seashore, or upon a fish­ ing trip. \ Your wife should go, too. If the far­ mer has been busy in the fields, the wife has had her hands full in the house. He who knows nothing of the trials of the farmer's wife in harvest time in gathering the vegetables, in preparing and cooking them three meals a day, along with much other work, has much to learn. Take a rest; "if you live in the mountains, go to the seashore; if you live near the ocean, go to the mountains. A change of local­ ity--seeing new people, new things and new methods of working--will quicken one's thoughts and produce lasting im­ pressions for good. One returns know­ ing that other people have as many trials and discouragements as we have, and that farm life is not so hard and disagreeable, after all. Fifty or seven­ ty-five dollars spent on a ten-days' trip will do more good to both than twice that amount invested at 6 per cent. Make a trial of it.--Baltimore Ameri­ can. tory way of storing potatoes/ The next worse way is a cellar under a building. The.-tronblo with a cellar" is to give it air enough and keep it cool enough. The most satisfactory and cheapest way that I know,,of is tQ store in a dug­ out, making the roof of earth over poles aid brush. In very wet weather such a roof will leak, unless covered with boards, corn stalks, straw or other cov­ ering. The best location is a slope or bank facing south; By leaving an al­ ley through the center of a \dug-out, with plenty of large ventilaticra shafts through the roof, a brisk circulation will be kept up whenever tile end door is opened--particularly where the door opens on the level, as it will do if the building is dug in the side of a bank. The dug-out "should be built with a bin on each side of a central alley. The bottoms of the bins should be raised six inches from ,• the ground and the sides of the bins shohld be clear of con­ tact with the wails, whether stone or dirt. Both bottoms and sides are best made of fence boards, with inch spaces between. Such a building, carefully managed as to ventilation, Opened up on frosty nights and kept closed during the warm days of fall and early winter, will take early Ohio potatoes through to spring without a sprout.

Some drivers will take more out of a horse in going five miles over a coun­ try road than many others will 1» go­ ing twenty miles. If a hard drive of twenty or thirty miles is before a horse, says the Breeder and Sportsman, start out moderately. Do not whip or worry or fret him. Leave all his strength, nerve and energy to be expended in going forward. After going along quietly and not too rapidly for a few miles, and the horse becomes warmed up, his muscles distended, and he is re­ lieved of the hay eaten the night be­ fore, then push along briskly, and do the heaviest work of the day. Don't hurry up the long hills. Stop frequent­ ly, cramp the buggy so as to take the load off the horse, and give him time to catch hi® breath. You will make better time ii the end by pursuing this course, your horse will finish his day's work in better condition, and you will avoid wind-galls. Make time on roads which are level or slightly down hill. Then the weight does not drag heavily, and he is not jarred when going fast, as he would be if going fast down a steep hill. Incendiary Lanterns. "That was a costly lantern," sighed neighbor D., as he looked dolefully at the smoking ruins of his new barn. The kerosene lantern had been set on the floor "just for a minute," buf long enough, to get knocked over. The blazing oil made quick work with the inflammable material on every hand. In ten minutes the roof was falling in; it was impossible to save even the ani­ mals. A few precautions would cer­ tainly lessen the frequency of such dis­ asters, says an exchange. Having a place for the light, secure from long handles, irresponsible heels and switch­ ing tails, would be our safeguard, pro­ vided the rule was always adhered to of putting it in its place when not in hand. Great care must be used in mak­ ing a place for the light, so that it will b.* s.>fe fi*?m d'tigers above as well as below. The heat arising from a con­ tinuous flame is considerable, and if too near the woodwork might gradually heat it to the burning point, or a dusty cobweb might serve as a fuse to cilrry the blaze. A candle fixed in a lan­ tern makes a much safer light than kerosene* but is not bright enough for all purpos5&>-One farmer who had suf­ fered from fire planned so as to have all of his barnwork possible done be­ fore dark. When a light was neces­ sary it was never carried into the barn, but put from the' outside through a window into a box made for it, with a glass front. '• Subduing the Weeds. Any species of weeds can be subdued and controlled within the limits of an ordinary farm, and, unless the value of the land is low from other causes, niay be profitably undertaken. If the weed is an annual, says the Philadel­ phia Ledger, reproducing itself from seeds only, it may be subjected by pre­ venting seed production. For perma­ nent pastures, lawns and roadsides, this is quite sufficient if persistently followed. In cultivated fields the land thus seeded should first be burned over to destroy as many as possible of the seeds on the surface. It may then be plowed shallow, so as not to bring the remaining seeds top deeply in the soil. The succeeding cultivation, not deeper than the plowing, will induce the germination of the seedlings as they appear. The land may then be plowed deepei* and the cultivation re­ peated until the weed seeds are pretty thoroughly cleared out to as great a depth as the plow ever reaches. Be­ low that depth, eight to ten inches, very few weed seeds can germinate and push a shoot to the surface. A thou­ sand seedlings may be destroyed by the cultivator with less effort than a single mature plant can be destroyed, and every seedling killed means one less weed seed in the soil. . . For Granary Pests. • Last fall in cutting up my cornI placed two open bottles, containing bi- sulphate of., carbon, four feet apart on the floor of the bin. The mouths of these bottles were covered with a layer of Cheesecloth, and each bottle covered with an old broken box. The corn, according to the New York Tribune, was thrown on these boxes, and the bin filled to Its utmost capacity. The result was highly successful; what weevils were .admitted from the field were destroyed, and none further ap­ peared. Thus, at a cost of fifty cents, with very little trouble, I protected about five hundred bushels of corn against the weevils. Moreover, I have noticed neither mouse nor rat in the bin, nor traces of them, which was not the case before, for in previous years they, too, did great damage to the coin. I have advised for years such use of bisulphide of carbon. I am gratified to hear of its extensive use all oyer the country. Many millers use it most sat­ isfactorily. It kills, is easily used, is not expensive, and, if cautiously used, so as to cause no danger from fire or explosion, is most excellent Make the Calf Drink Slowly. We often see articles in agricultural papers, giving directions how to break the calf to drink; how often, how much", 'and what to feed, all of which are most important, but what I consider one es­ sential phase of calf-feeding I never see touched upon, says Rural Life. Hap- idly or slowly shall the young bovine drink his milk? . Calves generally, when fed milk from the pail, drink as rapidly as they can. The greedy arid very hungry ones gulp it down till they choke, and it seems the delight of others to thrust their noses to the bot­ tom of the dish, and drink as long a» they have breath, then "come up and blow." The.sudden filling of the calf's stom­ ach with milk is well known to be dele­ terious, and to obviate this too rapidly filling up I had a tinner, several years ago, make me a vessel, holding about a gallon, the diameter of a six-quart pail, with an oval bottom, with a hole punch­ ed in the center about large enough to thrust a lead pencil through. Witlrtlila "drink-slow dish" set on the milk in the pail, the calf drinks slowly from the fountain that comes through the hole in the bottom. One Way to Spray. When paris greening potato vines it occurred to me how many ways it is done. A neighbor used to plaster the paris green dry at the same time I used it. wet, says A. F. Sampson iu the New England Farmer. I put the same barrel I use on apple trees on the stone drag, close to the tub I use to cool milk, and have a man pump into the tub. I fill the barrels, then draw to the potato field and leave one barrel at each end of the field, so as not to walk so far back and forth. Now I put a pound of paris green iu each barrel and apply it to the vines with a pail and whisk broom. I used to do two rows at once, now I do one, as the pail reaches the other barrel better and saves a walk. Two barrels will do an acre. Some use a spoonful of green to a pail of water, and, of course, with a barrel of water there needs be a stick to stir the water everv% time a pailful is taken out. A gun to put 011 raw paris green costs' $7.50; the tools I use cost 50 cents. Pioneers in a Lonely Region Who Were Content with Their/Dot. "We often hear of the hardships of the pioneers Who (Mtablished themt selves and stayed in the wilderness a century or more ago," said a young man who had passed a good part of his va­ cations in the Avoods, "but I don't be­ lieve that the American pioneers had a much harder time than the poor Scan- dina rian people are having in some of the remote districts ,of the northwest now. Let me give you a case in point, which is only one of many. "Once I was up in the extreme north­ ern part of Minnesota, just along the Manitoba line. We had quite a party, and on the day of my story we were trying to find a location for a camp which would be beyond all civilization. We traveled all one daj- over a rough prairie country, and beyond a few well- painted Chippewas, who had been into the settlement to draw their rations, we saw no one. Along toward even­ ing we struck a faint trail, and, follow­ ing for a while, came suddenly upon a lonely cabin which stood behind a clump of Quaking asll trees. In, the doorway of the cabin, sitting on the low. sill, T^ere two of the. chubbiest tow- headed children you ever saw. "When our teams came into view they made a dive for the interior of the cabin, and wlieh we came up no one was visible. . One of our teamsters spoke Swedish, and he called out some strange word of greeting. At that a comely, red-cheeked and very blonde young woman came timidly to the door, and behind her and hanging on to her dress for dear life were her children. She said her husband was working at istephen--it was just 100 miles west-- and he had been away for six weeks. Meanwhile she and the. children were getting along as well as they could. She was smiling by this time, and she laughed when asked if she wasn't afraid. One of the party looked into the cabin, which had only one room, and saw that the stock of provisions consisted of some flour and two big cheeses, nearly eighteen inches in diam­ eter. That was all they had; as sure as I'm sitting hem We tried to under­ stand it all, but it was pretty hard to do. There she was--a woman who could speak no English whatever--with her two children, in as wild a. country as one ever saw. The Indians were the last menace, for there are more horse-thieving whites in those parts than bad Indians. And then think of her husband a hundred miles away working at harvesting on a big farm. It was a curious family life, to say the least. Now, I suppose that in a few years more that man will own a fine farm and his wife will be speaking good English and the children will be thorough little Americans. At,all events, they deserve such pood for­ tune, for I know that no pioneer of early New York, Ohio, or lllionois had a harder life than ihat--no, not even with the Indians about. "That brave little woman! I can see her now. As she stood smiling and watching us we began our march again. I'll never forget her, nor will 1 ever forget how hard a time some peo­ ple have of getting on iu thisj vsrorld. That night we went into camp about two miles from her cabin. We heard the wolves howling each night and we saw plenty of game, but every day or two one or more of us would swing round toward tiie cabin to see if our 'pioneers' were all right. I've never been back to that region,0 but I'll bet something, that if one hunted that fam­ ily up they would be found in a better house, which contained more to eat, another child or two, perhirps, and that the mother would have the same smile."--New York Sun.

Pfister, is, stated to have discovered a remarkable property of the trunks of trees, namely, that of retaining the salt of sea water that has filtered through the trunk in the direction of the fibers. He has consequently constructed an ap­ paratus designed to Utilize this prop­ erty in obtaining portable water for the use of ships' crews. This apparatus consists of a pump, which sucks up the sea water into a reservoir and then forces it into a filter formed by the tree trunk. As soon as the pressure reaches 1.5 to 2.5 atmospheres the wat­ er is seen at the end of from one to three minutes, according to the kind of wood used--to make its exit from the other extremity of the trunk, at first in drops and then in fine streams, tlie water thus filtered being potable, freed, in fact, from every particle, of the us­ ual saline taste which is such a draw­ back to water obtained in the ordinary manner. Judge Black Put on His Clean Over His Soiled Undergarments. Kirkland White, better known as "Kirt," has lived for ovfe£ forty years in the pretty little city of York, Pa., which was also the home of the late Judge Jeremiah S. Black. Mr. White was a personal frierid of the Judge, and they used to make many trips to this city together and invariably stayed at the Astor House. Mr. White was at this hotel one night recently and got to speaking of his old friend, Judge Black, who, he said, was the most ab­ sent-minded niau he ever met. Mr. Wliite went on: "Whenever the Judge and I arranged to start off'on a trip together Mrs: Black used to. tell me to be sure and see that the Judge paid his hotel bills. He gen­ erally forgot to do so unless soriiebodj&l-j^rted from lifel The Saying of Grace.

Sometimes the clerks in the hotels would suggest that he owned something just as-Jie was about to depart; but more often they wouldn't, and the bill would remain unpaid until be visited the hotel again. These things annoyed his good wilfe very much. When we, were returning after one of our trips the Judge would often say to me: "Bless my soul, Kirt, I don't believe I paid my bill at that hotel. What will they think of me?" " 'Oh, that's all right. I settled things,' I would reply. The Judge would then insist on paying me back immediately, and when we got home I rould make a clear report to his wife." "Why, I remember," said one of the clerks who has been with the Astor House for many years, "that one day I handed Judge Black a telegram. He took it, and, after reading the address, 'Judge Jeremiah S. Black,' on the en­ velope, he handed it back to me, re­ marking that it couldn't be for him. but it must be for somebody else of the same name, as he didn't recognize the handwriting." "The story of the shirts, however." put iu Mr. White, "is the best one of all. and Mrs. Black told it herself. She said that one time the Judge had to go away alone on a week's trip, and so she put some tilings ihto a valise tor inni' in­ cluding three clean shirts. When the Judge got home she opened the valise and was surprised to find but one shirt in it, and that was a soiled one. " 'Gracious me. Judge!"'sheexclaimed, 'what have you done with your shirtsV " 'I'm sure 1 don't know, my dear." he replied; 'aren't they in the valiseV "'No, they are not,' said Mrs. Black, 'and they were new ones, too.' "Well, the mystery of the lost shirts was not cleared up until the Judge went to bed that night. It was then discov­ ered that he had worn the lost shirts, one over the other. When lie wanted a clean shirt he had evidently forgotten to take the one he was wearing off. Mrs. Black used to say that had the Judge stayed away longer and had more shirts with him he would un- dounbtedly have had them all on when he finally got home."--New York Trib­ une. Honey as Food. Honey has been known from the earli­ est times. The' Scripture makes men­ tion of it, and pagan writers celebrate, its virtues. It was called "the milk oi the aged." and was thought to prolong life. Honey Was also ufeed in the em­ balming of the body after death. This food, as useful as it is delicious, was esteemed most highly by the Greeks, who celebrated its virtues alike in prose and verse, so that the fame of Attic honey has been transmitted unimpaired to our own day. Used in all kinds of pastry, cake arid ragouts, It was also esteemed as a sauce. Pythagoras, in the latter portion of his life, was a vegetarian, and lived wholly on bread and honey, a diet which he recommended to -his disciples.

Honey was often served by the an­ cients at the beginning of a banquet in order that the uncloyed palate might enjoy to the full its exquisite flavor. It took the place that sugar occupied after the discoveries of the properties of the sugar cane, so that all conserves, cakes and beverages were dependent on.honey for their sweetness. Apicius prepared it for seasoning purposes in this man­ ner: Boil eight pounds of honey with one pint of wine," skim, add pepper, spikenard, saffron and dried dates.

One day he was on a train bound for Bangor to Brunswick, Me., when the conductor* who knew him, entered his car to ask him to come out to the second-class coach to try and find out where a certain stupid foreign­ er was going. The conductor had at­ tacked him in all the foreign lingo he could master, and could get no other response than a stupid stare. Prof. Young went back to the rear of the train. The passenger sat there looking very much disturbed and be­ wildered. , The professor went at him in Canadian French, then in German, then in the languages of Scandinavia, Egypt, Italy,' Spain and every other country on the face of this green earth. Still the passenger sat "mum as an owl." while, the look of bewilderment deepened on his face. The professor was nonplused, and was turning in de­ feat to his own car when the man looked wearily out of the window and remarked sadly to himself: "By gosh, I wish was ter hum."
