I Farm Gates. "Upon every farm there must be gates. "These gates should always be In good repair , but such is not always the case. It is a neat , tidy farmer , indeed , that never allows a gate to sag , so that it lias to be lifted in opening , or has a broken hinge. There are many plans pf making good gates , but the best we lhave ever tried is constructed as fol- iows : Take two pine or poplar boards , six inches wide , an Inch and a half .thick and as long as you want your .gate. Have pickets one by four inches And as long as you want your gate high. Then a brace one by four inches , long enough to reach from the lower corner of gate on hinge end to top cor ner , where the latch is to be placed. Lay the two rails down on barn floor or trestles , if you have them , the proper distance apart , and nail on your pick- jK jwuft A NEAT FA KM GATE. ets , putting four nails in each end. Saw brace to fit in between rails with out notching , and nail pickets to this. Bolt on hinges , having holes in same , so the bolts will pass through both picket and rail. At the other end bolt a paling on each side of the rail. Have SL common latch made out of an old wagon tire or any old piece of bar iron and when this is properly secured your gate is complete. Always use dressed lumber , so you can paint gate any de sired color , red being usually prefer red. A gate made in this manner will tast for twenty years , if kept painted , and it will never sag a particle , and is good and strong. It is the easiest gate made , and the best we have ever tried. New England Homestead. The Porcli in Summer. To live as much as possible out of froors is always desirable in summer , and if one has not a wide veranda they imay have a nice tree or cluster of large shrubs , or a framework and covered vines. A few comfortable lounging places are to be desired. Old pieces of furniture may be renovated , painted and upholstered and made to stand the Exposure and changes of the weather. The illustration shows a chair. The framework consists of a box. two up right sticks and a board to form a back. 'The box should be 10 inches wide and 'long , and 10 inches high , with a hinged I cover so the interior may be a recept ' acle for odds and ends. The uprights , which can be of pine two inches wide "by one inch thick , are securely screwed A CIIAIK FOK THE PORCH. to the outer sides of the box , pitched at an angle to make the back comfort able. A board 18 inches long by 12 inches wide is screwed to the upper ends of them and the framework will look like No. 1. The seat and sides are to be' upholstered by using some old liair or cotton. First cover with strong unbleached cotton , then cover with any color of denim not easy to fade or show soil. At a hardware store get some ja panned iron shanked buttons , and with stout strings tuft the seat like a car riage cushion , and around the back and the seat tack a row of large headed tacks over a strip of white leather or stiff canvas. Berry Culture. Every farmer should raise enough berries to supply the family all the year. There is nothing more delicious and healthful than strawberries , rasp berries and blackberries , and no other crop on the farm pays as well for the small outlay and the land they require. September is the mouth to plant them , and when this is properly done a good crop can be grown the first year. ' A northern slope that will drain well is best. A great many make the mis take of getting the soil too rich for strawberries , and get a big crop of vines with very little fruit. Land that will grow a i oed crop of corn is just right , and when properly planted and cultivated will always produce plenty of fine berries. The soil should be { cleared of all weeds and rubbish , well I pulvi'i-izi'd with disk or cultivator and j harrow , and then plowed deep and thoroughly pulverized after plowing. Mark rows three feet apart and set the plants in deep , putting a half pint of water witli each plant and packing the -flirt firmly around the roots. Late in HIP fall they should be mulched with oloau straw , marsh hay or corn stalks. In the spring hoe or cultivate shallow , "but not after the plants begin bloomy in . as it will cause them to rust. Fruit CJ rower. Dan'lc'ions for the Garden. The staud-by for early greens in many country places is the dandelion , fivhirli grows spontaneously in the pas tures , showing its location by bright jci'.ow flowers. But when the dande lion is old enough to blossom It is not so juicy and tender as it is In the ear lier stages of its growth. Besides , a further improvement is made by dig ging up the roots the previous year and planting them in some rich place in the garden. There Is a slight tonic bitter to the dandelion greens which makes them liked by almost every body , and those who do not entirely like the flavor eat the greens because they are healthful. Some gardeners claim that they have originated new varieties with larger , thicker leaves than those on dandelions that grow wild. It Is possible , however , that it is the garden culture rather than dif ferences In variety that makes the new sorts preferable. A Monster Hog ; . The largest hog ever raised in Butler County , Ohio , was slaughtered on March 9 , weighing 1,275 pounds. It was three years and ten days old , and was of Poland-China stock. His measurement from nose to rump ( tail ) was 7 feet and 4 Inches ; across the back when standing up was 2 feet G inches ; around the neck close to his ears o feet 4 Inches ; girth around the heart near the forelegs 7 feet 7 inches ; around the flank 7 feet 8 inches. After he was hung up and split through the back I measured the thickness at the shoulders and along the back ; at the shoulders , 12 Inches ; along the back , 10 inches ; there was G Inches of fat and 4 inches of lean meat. On November 24 this hog weighed 830 pounds , making a gain of 445 pounds in 105 days , or 4 4 pounds per day , the largest gain per day on rec- ' ord. During this period he ate forty ears of corn per day , and , as it takes about 100 average ears for a bushel , the total corn fed during the 10o days was forty-two bushels , making an av erage gain of 10 3-5 pounds gross weight per bushel of corn. Having ex perimented several years in feeding hogs to learn the gain in live weight per bushel of corn , with the choicest selected hogs and under the most favor - vor ble conditions the gain was ten pounds per bushel. The net weight of this hog was 1,100 pounds , the loss being a fraction less than 14 per cent. ; the general average loss from live to net weight ranges from 15 to 18 per cent , on large and well fattened hogs. Cincinnati Price Current. Cleaning the Cellar. The first house cleaning in spring should be done in the cellar , removing whatever is left of the vegetables and fruits put up for winter use , and after clearing -away mould from the walls giving them a coat of fresh whitewash , into which a .weak solution of carbolic acid has been put in making it. This will destroy latent germs , which more often originate in the cellar than any where else. After the cellar is cleaned and whitewashed place a few lumps of uuslacked lime in any places that seem to be somewhat moist. Keep the cellar windows closed on warm , sun shiny days and open them at night especially if rather cool. It is the warm air from outside in the cellar coining in contact with the cold stone walls and metal which it contains that deposits moisture and t-oou forms a mould on all such surfaces. Most people ple think it is cool air which is respon sible for damp walls. On the contrary , it is the warm and apparently dry air from the outside which does it when this is brought in contact with any cool surface. Profit from Garden Herbs. There are certain kinds of vegeta bles which have a good sale when dried that are far too little grown. We allude to such herbs as sage , thyme , fennel , coriander and the like. More money is often made from a sage bed than from the same area of land plant ed in anything else. There Is always a good demand for it to use for stufling when pork , turkey or chicken are to be roasted , and if the herb has to be bought at the grocer's or drug store several times what the farmer could well afford to sell it for has to be paid. There would be more profit in farming if farmers paid more attention to the small items which they now neglect , because they seem too unimportant to' be worthy of notice. Floors for Stables. Wherever there is a crack in a stable floor where horses or cows are kept ; fertility , which is really money , is con stantly being lost as the liquid excre-i ment runs to waste. There are under * many old stables several feet depth of soil filled with this excrement , which if drawn out on the fields makes the richest kind of manure. The stable floor should be solid , either made with matched plank , or , better still , laid in cement , which will not absorb the ex crement or rot as it lies upon it. Green Bone for Hens. Fresh-cut bone contains the right kind of material to make an egg , the lime in it furnishing the shell. It is better than grit for fowls , as , unlike * the bits of stone , it is ground and di gested in the gizzard , thus serving a double purpose , helping to digest grain and being itself digested at the same time. Fowls that eat much green bone will make manure equal to that which wild birds make from eating fishes , and which when composted becomes the iruano of commerce. Stra ivberries. The old plan of spading under a portion tion of the old strawberry bed , so as to leave the plants in rows , will not pay. Better reset clean land with vig orous plants , arranging to grow a crop of potatoes every third year to clean the laud and mellow it. The picking of berries on heavy clay land causes it to become so packed as to require culti vating at least one season in every three with some hoed crop. Barnum's Midland Farmer. " * SOLDIEES AT HOME. THEY TELL SOME INTERESTING ANECDOTES OF THE WAR. How the Boy * of Both Armies Whiled Aray Life in Camp Foragine Ex periences ! Tiresome Marches Thril ling Scenee on the Battlefield. "The other evening while witnessing Mansfield's performance at the opera house , " said a well known member of the Detroit Post , G. A. R. , "I noticed a couple of good-looking privates from the Seventh United States Infantry walk down and take two $2 seats with the utmost nonchalance. They were clean , Intelligent young chaps who , even though they were only privates , knew what they were paying for , and whether they got their money's worth. It reminded me of the only time I ever heard Patti , and I wondered if they were having an experience similar to my own. "It was away back in the ' 60s , just after the close of the war , that a de tachment of the Forty-third United States Infantry was stationed at Fort Gratiot under command of Capt. Fer gus Walker. I was a corporal In Com pany A , and I had a chum who was also a corporal In the same company. As soon as the news of Patti's appear ance in Detroit reached our post Cor poral I'll call him Liederfoos pro posed that we go together to Detroit and hear her. I ventured the remark that pay day was too far off , at which he said he had money enough to pay our fares to Detroit and that If I would get two days' leave for himself and me , he would pay all expenses. 'You can't afford to put up $5 a seat for two , ' I argued , at which he replied : 'You get the two days' leave and I'll do the rest. ' "And so the next day Liederfoos and myself called on Capt. Walker and I asked for the leave. 'What do you want to go to Detroit for ? ' asked the captain , and when I explained that we were going down to hear Patti he ex pressed a wish that we would tell him the truth , and added , 'You men , be tween you , couldn't pay for one corner of one of those $5 seats. ' " 'That's perhaps true , ' ventured Liederfoos , 'but we want to go to De troit , and if you will give us leave and are there yourself , you'll see these two corporals in a private box , all by them selves. ' ' "Well. I'll give you the two days' leave , ' said the captain , 'and I'll be in the opera house when Patti sings. Moreover , I'll be on the lookout for you two. Say , if I see you two men in a private box at Patti's concert I'll be hanged if I won't pay the cost of your railway travel. ' "And so when the time arrivnd Lie derfoos and myself came down to De troit and registered at the Michigan Exchange. After dinner my compan ion excused himself and left me at the hotel to amuse myself as best I could. Along about 5 o'clock he returned and he not only had an order signed by Patti for a private box , but he had a pair of opera glasses and a bouquet of flowers as big as a patent pail. Then and not until then did I learn my friend's secret. As a boy he had been a next door neighbor to Patti when she was a girl. Her father lived just out side of New York , up Yonkers way , I believe , and this corporal in the United States army , who had drawn Patti on his sled , tetered with her on the fence between her lot and his and played hide and coop with her , had been hav ing a two hours' visit with the prima donna. She had not only received him kindly , but was positively pleased to meet her old scholrnate and friend. Of course I don't know all details , but I am positive she must have given him a stake , because we had a bath and a shave and a hair cut ; we bought new boiled shirts with collars , cuffs and necktie , new handkerchiefs and went to that opera house in army blue , of course , but about as swell as it was possible for chaps wearing the old shad-belly coats of the service to be. "And say , you should have seen the entire audience stare at us. It was in teresting. And then , too , there was Capt. Walker , the most amazed man you could imagine. When Liederfoos threw his bouquet on the stage to have Patti pick it up and bow most gracious ly to the two corporals , I thought Walk er would have a fit. Yes , the captain paid us the cost of our railway fare when we got back to the post , in spite of our protests. 'I look upon that prop osition of mine , ' he said , 'just as I would upon a bet. It is a bet , and you won it handsojnely. ' " Detroit Free Press. Saved His "Wacons. During the civil war H. W. Walker , of Walker & Co. , of Detroit , was mas ter of transportation for the First Cav alry Division , Gen. McCook , Army of the Cumberland. On the first day of the battle of Chickaraauga Mr. Walker received an order signed by Gen. Rose- craus directing all commands , unless they were in active engagement , to give the road to Walker and his wagons. With a train of 150 wagons loaded with ammunition and rations he had taken his Avagons and their contents to the battlefield , the day before the battle of Lookout Mountain , aiid having dis charged the freight was without or ders as to what to do next. According ly he applied to the late Gen. Garfield , who was chief of staff. "Really , I don't know what orders to give you , " answered Gen. Garfield , but when Mr. Walker suggested it , the General di rected Dr. Armstrong , assistant sur geon of the Fourth Michigan Cavalry , to permit all wounded soldiers able to be moved to be loaded into Walker's wagons to be taken back to the hospi tals north of the Tennessee river. "Accordingly , " says Mr. Walker , "TOS loaded the poor fellows into the wagons as carefully as we could and started ddvsn toward Chattanooga , Reaching the river my train was stopped sud denly and I rode up to the head of the column to Investigate. There I found that the pontoon bridge was being 'guarded by a new regiment and the captain in charge of the detail that had stopped us was not only emphatic as to his orders to permit no one to pass , but you see he was new as to so great a responsibility , but he was all right he was inclined to be impudent. The situ ation was puzzling as well as critical , because I did not want to run any risk of losing my wagons and the wounded men needed attention. Accordingly I made a grand bluff. I pulled out the order that had been signed by Gen. Rosecrans nearly two days previous to the order that had been given to the captain and presenting it demanded right of way. " 'Why didn't you show this order in the first place ? ' asked the captain , with out looking at the date of the order. " 'Because I thought the sight of these wounded men would be suffi cient , ' I replied. At this the captain called off the guard , and as the wagons resumed the march the captain called me aside and explained that it was the first experience of the kind he had ever had and he hoped I wouldn't cause any trouble. Of course I explained that the error was a natural one , that no harm had been done and that he deserved commendation for his fidelity. Mean while I put the written order , which I knew was absolutely worthless , back into my pocket and rode up to the head of my train. We reached the hospitals all right , no man the worse for the ride , and I didn't lose uiy wagons. " Detroit Free Press. Stories of Gen. Lee. A coterie of ox-Confederates were talking over old times in tbe Southern colony at the Metropolitan a few nights ago , when the conversation turned upon Gen. Robert E. Lee. "Not only do I maintain that Gen. Lee was the greatest master of the art of war of his age , but that he was one of the most benign of all historic char acters , " said Judge Mackey , of South Carolina. "I tell this anecdote , which has never been printed , as Illustrating his fine sense of justice and his gener ous consideration for the rights of others : "On Aug. 1C , 1SG4 , Gen. Lee's army attacked Grant's left at a point a few miles above Petersburg. The attack , made with considerable force , was at first successful , and we captured about 400 prisoners. As the prisoners were brought into our lines Lee was stand ing by the side of his horse writing an order , with the paper resting upon the saddle. Just then one of the Federal prisoners rushed up in a state of great excitement and said to Lee : " 'General , one of your soldiers ban stolen my hat. ' "Gen. Lee -turned to the prisoner , who was a youth of 18 or 19 , and said : " 'Where is the man who took your hatr " 'He is one of the guard ; that man with red whiskers over there , ' the Fed eral replied. "Lee thereupon ordered Col. Mar shall , of his staff , one of the knightliest of soldiers himself , to recover the hat , which was done , and he delivered it to the soldier. "Is it not remarkable that a General , watching the progress of battle , and framing an order to direct It , should turn away to do justice to a prisoner under such circumstances ? Especially when the soldier who took the hat need ed it far more than the man from whom it was taken ; for the average Confederate soldier was in one sense a plumed knight. He had no crown , and his uplifted hair was a plume of natural growth. "It is a remarkable fact thateGen. Lae never wore a sword during the war , or any weapon , and ho never buckled on a sword until the day of his surrender , and then as an act of courtesy to Gen. Grant , and as proper for the occasion , when terms of sur render were being agreed upon. "Gen. Lee did not expect to surren der his sword to Grant , because , by the terms of surrender , all officers were to retain their side arms ; but he did ex pect , as I have heard him state , that Grant would go through the form of touching the hilt of his sword , accord ing to the custom of war. But Grant , most magnanimous of soldiers , did not even do that. Washington Star. Of No Use. It seems to be necessary to use some discrimination in making New Year's presents. Two acquaintances met OP the street on New Year's morning. "Hello , Ruggles ! How is the fam ily ? " "All well. By the way , my wife made me a present of an elegant smok ing jacket this morning. " "You are fortunate. " "Yes. My eldest daughter gave me a silver-mounted . " - snioking-set. "That conies in very appropriately. " "Oh , yes. And my son gave me this silver match-box. " "It's a beauty one of the handsom est I ever saw. You are not looking well this morning. Anything the mat ter ? " "Nothing except that about two hours before I got the presents I had registered a solemn vow not to smoke any more for a year ! " The trustees of the British National Gallery have purchased under a special grant of money from the treasury two pictures by Rembrandt , the property of Lady de Satiinerez , entitled "The Burgomaster" and "The Burgomaster's Wife , " being portraits of an elderly man and an old lady not at present identified. These pictures will be hung in the principal Dutch room. Mistrust the man who finds every thing good ; the man who finds every thing evil , and still more the man who is indifferent to everything.

FUNNY HONEYMOONS. njoyed by Eccentric People in Thin and Other Countries. A few years ago a newly wedded couple living ten miles southeast of Brookvllle , Ky. , took as a honeymoon trip a wagon ride to witness the hang ing of Robert McLaughlin , which oc curred at Brookvllle. A short while since an adventurous couple spent their first days of wedded life on the summit of Mont Blanc. The ascent , extremely hazardous by reason of terrific snowstorms , being success fully accomplished , and the summit reached , the bridegroom , in the pres ence of the guides , embraced his young wife , to whom he swore eternal fidelity , and received from her lips an equally fervent assurance. Then the descent was commenced , and the couple , after three days' absence , arrived at Cba- mounlx , where they were accorded an enthusiastic reception. There are of record four honeymoons known to have been spent in Mam moth Cave , Kentucky. In the neighborhood of Dodschau , a small Hungarian town , there is an ex traordinary Ice cave. The roof , the walls , the floor are thickly coated with ice , which in places assumes most fan tastic shapes. In this cave , some six teen years ago , a couple named Kolcsey elected to pass the week Immediately following their marriage. They took with them a plentiful supply of rugs , blankets and warm clothing , but not withstanding all precautions their ex perience was not of a sufficiently pleas ant nature to temnt imitators. Severe itebuke. Constable , the famous painter , once gave a remarkable instance of the sweetness of his temper , which scarce ly anything could ruffle. The story is told by Julian Charles Young , whose uncle had witnessed its incident. He called on Constable one day , and was received by him in his front room. After half an hour's chat , the artist proposed to repair to the back room to show him a large picture on which lie was engaged. On walking up to his easel , he found fhat one of his little boys , in his ab sence , had dashed the handle of the hearth-broom through the canvas , and made so large a rent in it as to render its restoration impossible. He called the child up to him , and asked him gently If he had done it When the boy admitted his act , Constable took him on his knee and rebuked him in these unmeasured terms : "Oh , my dear pet ! See what we have done ! Dear , dear ! What shall we dote to mend it ? I can't think , can you ? " Hard to Deal With. "See here , " said the doctor to his re fractory patient , "I've been a physician for ten years , and I know what treat ment your case requires. " "That cuts no ice with me. I've been an invalid for thirty vears , and it's not for the likes of you to tell me to take something that I know I don't need. " Detroit Free Press.

He was an American citizen , and a bit vainglorious , and he was talking to an Englishman , who had a wit of his own , despite reports to the contrary. The recent achievements of Uncle Sam in various localities constituted the subject of conversation , and the Yan kee fairly bulged out with pride. "I am a free American , I am. " ho said , slapping his manly bosom , though there was no especial occasion for such a demonstration. "I fancy not , " responded the English man in a tone that sounded as if he knew what he was talking about The Yankee resented it with prompt ness and dispatch. "I'd like to know , sir , why I am not ? " he exclaimed , with the color of wrath rising to his face. "You are married , aren't you2" "Yes. " "And to an American ? " "Yes. " "Well , that settles it in my mind. I've got an American woman for a wife myself. " The Yankee smiled , stuck out his hand and said he thought it was about time for them to organize an Anglo- American alliance not entirely for com mercial purposes. Washington Star. Theater Stages of Ancient Days. The excavations now going on in the Theater of Dugga , in Tunis , show that the Komans possessed for their thea ters a system of stage carpentry equal if not superior to the appliances now In use. An ingenious contrivance enabled those who stood underneath the stage to see what was proceeding above. A number of trap doors opened in the center of the stage , and grooves have been discovered showing the way in which scenery and stage furniture were lowered and raised. Eight large holes led to several dry wells three yards deep under the stage , while a large receptacle served to store the cur tain during the performance. The floor of the stajze was covered with mosaics. Time to Cool Oth Proud Father My old friend , I called to see if you couldn't make a place for my sou in your establishment.
