an FIFTY YEARS AGO -5 - 'THIS WEEK . Beptember. 23, 1862. Three hundred Sioux Indians, under Little Crow, were defeated in an attack on Colonel Sibley’'s command at Yellow Medicine, Minn. The battle lasted two hours, with heavy loss to the savages. . : The city hall at New Orleans was growded with citizens anxious to take -the oath of allegiance to the United States, the 23d being the last day permitted by the order of General Butler. " The schooner Nellie was captured by the United States steamer 'Alabama. ' | : Sutton, Va., and neighborhood was the scene of brisk fighting throughout the day. In the morning an-attacking force' of Confederates were defeated and driven ten miles. Reinforced, it wmade a second attack on the National force and sent them to flight, driving them eventually. from their original post at Sutton. % : Four hundred English rifles, marked “London, 1862,” and |lan English can- - non were seized by |Colonel Switzer, who crossed from Maryland into Virginia at Reynold’s [Ford with his g Union regiment and la battery of artillery. The Confederate . pickets guarding the military stores retired without firing a shot, being heavily outnumbered. e Major General Wright, in a special order-issued at Cincinnati, 0., relin- " quished the severity of his martial control over the district lately threatened with invasion by the advance of Gen. E. Kirby Smith /with a Confeder- . ate force, permitting the resumption of business without restriction, waivIng the demand for passes to citizens, and suspending the daily drills. - September 24, 1862, :

President Lincoln {ssued a proclamation ordering that any person who discouraged enlistment, or resisted drafts, or was guilty of any ’disloyal practice affording aid or comfort to those in rebellion against the United States, should be subject to arrest and trial by court martial; and suspending the right of habeas corpus in such cases. e : Governor Curtin of Pennsylvania lem’iSSed the militia that had organized for the defence of the state durIng Lee’s advance into Maryland.

The plant of the ‘American Volunteer, a paper publisheq in Carlisle, Pa., was destroyed by a mob because of an editorial that reflected on President Lincoln ‘and the administration. ‘A convention of governors, meeting at Altoona, Pa., endarsed the Emancipation Proclamation, pledged continued support to President Lincoln, and suggested the formation of a reserve:army of 100,000 men. - General ‘Beaure_gand assumed command of the department of South Carolina and Georgia. | General Butler, commanding the Union occupation. at New Orleans, issued an order directing that all former citizens of the United States that had refised to take the oath of allegiance, or who held or pretended any -allegiance to [the Confederate states, should report themselves on or before the first of October to:the nearest provost marshal, with a descriptive list of all their property, real, personal, and mixed. made out and signed by themselves, with as much particularity as for taxation. . The Confederate senate adopted a seal for the Confederate States of -America. 2 5

The convention of governors adjourned - from Altoona Ao meet in Washington. T f Sabine Pas, Texas, was attacked end captured by the United States steamer Kensington, under the command of Acting Master Crocker, assisted by the mortar boat Henry Janes and blockading schooner Rachel Sea: ‘men. G Ly

Judge T. W. Thomas, in the superior court, Elbert county, Georgia, in the ‘case of James ILovingood, decided that the Confederate conscription act was unconstitutional, and that, therefore, the plaintiff was entitled to his liberty. it September 26, 1862.)

The Fifth and Sixth U. S. Regulars, with a battery of horse artillery, movtng from Bolivar Heights, Maryland, on a reconnoissance, approached within a mile and a half of Charlestown, where they encountered the Confederates In force and retired, after gkirmishes in which they recaptured some horses taken by the enemy at the battle of Bull Run. | 3

A Unlon reconnoitering force under Colonel MclL.ean drgve a body of Confederate cavalry out of Warrentown Junction, Virginia, and seized a small quantity of storesand supplies. In the Confederate house of representatives majority and minority reports were submitted by the committee on foreign affairs to whom had been referred certain resolutions relating to the policy! of the war which recommended to President Davis the fssuing of 4 proclamation offering free navigation of the Mississippl river and its tributaries, and opening the market of the south to the inhabitants of the northwestern- states, upon certain terms and conditions. S :

~ The Confederate General Bragg issued a proclamation from ' Beardstowu,'Kenffacky, addressed to the people of the' northwestern states, announcing that the motive and purpose of his-armed presence was to afford them a free navigation of the Mississippl river. An attempt was made to capture the steamer Forest Queen at Ashport, Tennessee, by a body of Confederate partisans under Colonel Faulkner, September 27, 1862. e Two infantry and one cavalry reglments, under commard of Colonel Toland of the 34th Oblo, made an ‘in_eftectual attempt :ja capture Jenkins' - Confederate navalry, In camp at Buf-

falo, on the Kanawha river, Virginia. His troops advanced in three .direetions from Point #:easant. The center column surprised Jenkins’ cavalry, 500 strong, before the other columns arrived, drove them out of their camp, and captured and destroyed all their camp equipage, killing seven and capturing nine. They pursued them about a mile and a half, when the Confederates were reinforced by two regiments of infantry and three pieces of artillery. The National force then fell back.

Maj. John J. Key was dismissed from the service of the United States for having replied, to the question propounded to him: “Why was not the rebel army bagged imme',d/iaa‘ltely' after the battle of Sharpsburg?”’ that it “Was not the game; that we should tire the rebels out, and ourselves; that that was the only way the Union could be preserved,”we come together fraternally, and slavery be saved.” " Augusta Key was captured by’ a force of Confederate irregulars, under Capt. Basil Duke. The home- guard, under the command of Colonel Bradford, vigorously attacked the Confederates- from the houses; but, being outnumbered, they were compelled to surrender, but not before killing and wounding a large number of the enemy. | ~ ‘ September 28, 1852, ,

The Confederate steamer Sunbeam was captured’ off New Inlet by the U. S. gunboats State of Georgia and Mystie, while attempting to run the blockade at Wilmington, North Carolina. She had a cargo of gunpowder and brandy, valued at a quarter million dollars.

Three cempanies of Union cavalry and a battery of two brass howitzers, under command of Col. Charles C. Dodge, made a reconnoissance -from Suffolk, Virginia, to a point on the Blackwater river, 25 miles distant, putting a body of Confederate infantry to flight after a sharp engagement. September 29, 1862.

Gen. Jefferson G. Davis shot Gen. William Nelson at .the Galt House, "in Louisville, Kentucky, killing him almost instantly. ] A brigade of Union cavalry, under command of Lieutenant. Colonel Karge, reconnoitering from Centerville, Virginia, to Warrenton, gaptured and paroled more than 1,600 'Confederates, some of whom were on duty and others in hospital. o A~resolution submitted in the Confederate house of representatives at Richmond by Mr. Semmes, of Louisiana, characterized President Lincoln’s emancipation ' proclamation as “a .gross violation of the usages of civilized warfare,” as well as “an invitation to an atrocious civil war.” Hé urged that it should be counter acted by such severe retaliatory measures as,iin the judgment of President Davis, “might be best calculated to secure its withdrawal or arrest its execution.”” In the discussion following, & suggestion was made that the “black flag” should be raised; and no quarter given in the war. Major-General Halleck issued a cir cular to the governors of the states asking ‘them to fill the vacancies of commissioned officers .who had fallen in battle by the appointment of noncommissioned officers and worthy privates. .

A force of Union cavalry, crossing the Potomac into Virginia at Shep: ardstown, discovered that the Confed: erates stil lheld their position at Winchester, and did not molest them. Brigadier General Rodman died of wounds received in the battle of Antietam. : (Copyright, 1912, by W. G. Chapman.)

BEWARE OF FROZEN . EGG

The Department of Agriculture Warns Against Cheap Pies and Cakes.

The department of agriculture has jssued a solemn warning to the Amerfcan public to Dbeware of “the fried frozen egg” and the *boiled dried eggs.” '

- These preparations, according to the department, flourish around localities where fresh eggs are hard to obtain. The department insists that the traflic in these unlawful eggs has increased greatly in the pist few vears. ; o

The warning states that there is no particular harin in freezing a fried egg or drying a beiled egg if the same is done under the proper sanitary. conditions and before the egg obtaing too venerable an age. It warns the public further that such eggs appear in cakes and pies, where their inferiority may be successfully concealed.

Not His Game.

A minor league club had signed a new outfielder, and the manager was watching him closely. His first play was unfortunate. He got a slow grounder, started®to throw to second base, changed his mind, and started to throw to third. Finally he threw to first,.two men having scored. At the end of the inning the manager called 'him aside. “I don’t think you’ll do for baseball,” said the manager, not unkindly. “Why not?” “You're not fast enough for baseball, son.” “Then what am 1 to do?” “Better go in for chess.”

Unconscious Humor.

Our_ school teachers need no_comic papers. Funny enough things: come their way in the shape of létters from the parents of their piupils, as witness the following received by a teacher out in Kansas: ‘‘Respected Miss: Please excuse Willle for absents. He has fell down stairs and we feered his internal insides was hurt at first, but they ain’t. The doctor says that no part of his anattomy was hurt but the brewsihg of the eppydermis of the outside hide and also his hipp hurt some.~ But he narrowly escaped fatal death. So kindly excuse.”

Fixed It All Right.

“Here's the dress suit you: loaned me, old man, and thanks. It didn’t fit me very well so I had the tailor meke a few alterations.”

“The deuce you did! Weil, of all the—" ' :

_“Ob, it's all right; I told him to send the bill to me.”

Give the turkeys grit

Rotation of crops is simple.

Feed green forage sparingly

Ventilate all coops and buildings.

Don’t overwork the mare; it woan’t pa'y'l / .

Make plenty of new nests f()}:_ the hens this winter. .

Every farmer should make a determined war on weeds. i

Get the binder in good shape before you start harvesting.

You can’t be too particular in picking sires for your herds.

Well-bred, well-selected pigs, make more profit on the food eaten.

More lime and more tile. to nall alfalfa to a rough, hard soil

A hen always likes a nice new nest in some dark, secluded corner.

A scar from a barbed wire cut reduces the value of a young horse imrcensely.

* The cloge, sultry nights demand proper ventilation of all the coops and buildings. .

. Corn silage has been shown to be cheaper than hay or corn stover for fattening steers.:

Fruit for local market should get about all its growth and its best color before it is picked. iy

Flies breed in manure and other filth. So keep. it cleaned up g_nd spread on the flelds. i -

Among fruits the apple, pear, peach, plum - and‘ cherry usually do best where :lime is abundant.

Milk souring before the cream rises will mean a poor quality of butter, and considerable cream lost.

As a single ration, alfalfa comes nearest to filling all the requirements of a hog that is trying to get fat.

The medium sized pig is the most profitab¥e to” rdise; bécause he can be both .thrifty and possess good quality. - - : ;

Give the cows a cool place screened from the flies, where they can chew their cuds and get ready for milking time. - :

A good cow never dies in debt to her owner, but without the Babcock tester she may never get credit for her performance. - :

With reasonably good seed and a fairly well prepared seed bed about twenty pounds of alfalfa seed are required per acre. - -

A recommended cure for a foundered cow is to let her have all the water she wants, but feed lightly until she recovers. .

-If cream is hung close to the water in a well that produces a real cold drink it will in most cases be in just the right shape for churning.

Consider the clovers. It often means the difference between failure and stccess. The clovers are almost indispensable in the farm scheme. :

Darkened stables or milking late seem to be the only ways of getting around the fly problem. If you know of any other good way, what is it?

For several years we have bought farm butter from the same farmer at 2 cents above retail market price every month in the year and glad to get it. : ! :

Milk fever is often caused by milking out the cow clean too soon after calving. An authority recommends letting the calf do the milking for the first 24 or 36 hours. : -

One valuable lesson the . manure spreader has taught is.- the use of small quantities applied frequently. It makes possible what can be, but is seldom done—light application. ;

€ull the ewe flock and get them up to a high standard, and just as much can be accomplished on the flock as in the selection of the ram, except that the ewe has but one or two lambs a year and the ram a great number. v

When the hog seems to be losing the use of its limbs, feed less corn and more bran and oats chop. If the trouble is very bad, give eight or ten drops of nux vomica in the feed twice a day. An abundance of green feed should also be given. .

All fixtures, such as roosts, dropping boards, and nests, should be movable, so that they can be taken out when the house is white-washed or sprayed. A stop-louse rqost fastener prevents mites tra’veiing from the walls of the house to the roosts.

Lice and mites are two of the worst foes of poultry, and as the latter live In the house, attacking the fowls when on the roost or in the nest, ev: ery precaution should be taken in building the house to provide as few hiding places for them &8 possible.

The silc needs no roof.

Milk is excellent for chicks

Horses, men and boys all dislike the hay rake. ; g

Farm manure is the best all-around fertilizer known. /

_Try to feed the chickens away from the roosts, if possible.

A little bone meal should be fed the chicks “occagionally. :

Soaking the churn in a brine occasionally will keep it sweet.

But never pasture cows, calves nor sheep on alfalfa. It’s risky.

. Chickens will drink a great deal of water if it is clean and pure.

. The cost of filling the silo will ‘vary a great deal upon different farms.

Old . turkeys are much better for breeding purposes than young onea.

,A handful of linseed meal will help the hens through the molting season.

Pure-bred stock fed liberally -and zhaxv;dled ‘right will surely make & profit. .

Hundreds of farmers make the great mistake of buying fruit trees that are too old. ;

Every year try and farm just a little better than you did the year before.

If the teeth of that new curry comb are sharp run a file over them before using. S e

Dgn’t leave the grain bin where the horse can get to it, should he become untied. .

It is ‘not an easy matter to keep milk *or cream sweet during hot weather.

The ideal fat steer ylelds a large proportion of carcass to waste Then slaughtered. : ‘ ;

A growing pig needs plenty .ot room, but for fattening small quarters are best. ;

Make war against the lice and mives a part of your regular work if you expect good results. :

If comfort of hogs while in trumsit to market be carefully provided the owner will be repaid. .

A hog can be starved to eat alinost anything, but this is . poor economy, for it:-retards development.

The man who uses a Babcock tester on’ his herd the first time has some surprises in store for him. :

3 When cowpeas cannot be used to advantage as a soiling crop or made into hay, it may be pastured.

One cannot get something for nothing in this world, nor can we grow mutton ard wool without feed.

Lime helps to grow legumes (clovers, etc.); they take nitrogen from the air and cut down the fertilizer bill. ofles =

Upon the farms, especially in. the south and west, mules are well liked by all those who have given them a fair trial. :

In the preparation of the soil for gsetting a vineyard good tilth, deep tillage and soil well filled with humus are essential. i !

‘A half dozen window gash glazed will ‘'make a dust-proof box in which the dairy vessels can be sunned and kept absolutely clean. ?

The steérs should be dehorned before being turned into the feedlot, as they will herd together better and be found much quieter. e

Another help in getting cream to the creamery in good condition is to cover the cans with a wet blanket when starting from home. -

Clover land, or land that has been highly manured ' for other garden crops the year before, is usually best for the growing of muskmellons.

Every day that a hog is kept longer than is really necessary to mature it for market is time and the money value of the extra feed lost.

The hog lot should- be changed and plowed up frequently as disease germs are likely to be deposited in the ground and plowing sweetens the ‘soil. ;

In selecting ducks for breeding, size of frame, length of body and generai activity should be looked for. Without size of body we cannot expect to ~obtain~ large ducklings.

Market your eggs promptly. Keep the nests clean. Gather the eggs often. If you must keep eggs a few days before marketing, be sure to keep them in a clean, cool place.

If we are to' raise hogs cheaper next year, we must start right this fall, because the better condition we can get our breeding stuff in, the fewer sows will be needed to raise the number wanted.

~ The first incubators used in . the Unted States were tested ‘in 1875 Now thousands are in use in every state in the Union and wonderfu) progress has been made. .In fact. without the use of incubators and brooders, the big commercial plants of today would be impossible.

Free range for growing chicks is al ways -the best, all things congidered. They can be raised year after year stronger and better than those raised in close confinement. Although thotisands of chicks are raised in restricted quarters that do well and prove profitable, they require extra care aud chnnot be raised so cheaply.

Blackberries and raspberries should be more extensively planted in that state. They are practically a sure crop. Cur home-grown berries, coming as they do after the bulk of the strawberries are off the market, command a ready sale. They are comparatively easy to care for and there is little actual hand labor connected wtih their cultivation. A patech will bear profitably. seven or eight years without renewal, 8 Soil.—The' blackberry and raspberry can be succesgfully grown on almost any well-drained soil. The canes arc not so ept to winterkill on the proper soils, but the fruit does not aitain its maximum size except on a deep, rich loam, - Planting.—Previous to . planting, the ground should be plowed deeply, turning under stable manure: or scme leguminous cover crop, and = then worked down to a fine pulverized condition. . Spring planting is to be preterred, for the plants get a good start end are better able to withstand the winter. The plants should be set three feet apart in rows seven feet apart. This is best done by plowing furrows seven feet apart to receive the plants. They should be set firmly and the dirt well tramped about their roots. Cultivation and Mulching.—Cultivaticn should be shallow—two or three inches—and frequent so as to keep a dust’ mulch and conserve the moisture Cultivation' should be kept up until- after harvesting the crop, when cow peas or crimson clover may be planted and allowed to lie over winter. Where wheat straw is plentiful, mulching can take the place of cultivation. .Frequent cultivation is

MILK AND CREAM HINTS By O. F. HUNZIKER, Chief of the Dairy Department, Purdue Experiment Station—Purdue University Agricultural Ex“ter?slon.

During these hot days and sultry nights the milk and cream on the farm requires special attention. The summer weather that is so much needed to mature the corn and other grains also accelerates the life and growth of the germs in milk and cream. : The bacteria that are in the milk and cream may becomg the direct cause of such diseases. as summer complaint and colic among infants and of poor quality of the butter, cheese and condensed milk turned out in our creameries, cheese factories and condensories.

Improper Care Causes Poor Quality. The high death rate among infants in summer, sour, rancid butter, gassy cheese and spoiled condensed milk are the direct result of improper care of milk and cream on the farm, The dairyman, who sells milk for direct consumption, is in a measure responsible for the health and life of the public consuming his product and his receipts from the factory are largely governed by the milk and cream, which he delivers at or ships to the factory. . ’ ‘

With proper care’of his milk and cream, the dairyman becomes :a benefactor to the human family and a mighty agent in the financial success of the butter, gheese and condensed milk industry as well as the guardian

~ pBULTRY NOTES. 1 : e | Early hatched turkeys should not ; be allowed on the ground. Keep ‘ their pens bedded with dry straw. Don’t allow turkey hens that have no young to run with hens that have very young poults as they often times travel too fast for them. . - Don’t dust the turkey hen and let the young ones go, as it will run the lice off on the young turkeys. - Ducks should not be given whole grain and should be given light, bulky food, the main part of which is vegetable food, with a bran mash. See that they have plenty of grit. . ' It the young turkeys are overfed, it clogs the digestive organs and causes indigestion followed by bowel trouble which may lead into liver trouble if allowed fo continue for a long time. The care in raising geese and the at tention needed to successfully raise them are small when compared with the cost of raising other fowls for market. f : _ Many poultry raisers wait till there Is urgent need for certain knowledge before they attempt to acquire it.

given until the fruit is nearly ripe and then a mulch supplied. In any case the plants should be protected by & mulch or cover ¢rop during the winter. E

Pruning.—When the young shoots have reached a height of two feet they should be pinched back, causing numerous lateral branches te push out, making the bush more stocky and self-supporting and greatly increasing the fruiting wood. As soon as the crop is harvested the old canes sfloulq be cut out and burned. This will prevent the spread of anthracnose. In the spring, after danger of injury from freezing is past, the new canes can be thinned out, having in ‘mind the probable crop. . o \

Propagation.—The red Traspberry and .the blackberry are propagated from suckers. Root sprouts one year old can be readily transplanted. Root cuttings can be made in the fdll and stored in sand in the cellar or burie‘d outside in a well-drained spot. Roots no smaller than a lead pencil are chosen and cut three or fnur inches long, ‘ln the spring these are planted out. - The black raspberry ‘is propagated. from stolons. In the late summer' the long canes, ~touching the ground, can be covered with a few shovelsful of @irt. They will- soon take root and can be transplanted in the spring. Varieties.—The following varieties, named in order of their ripening, are recommended for commercial planting: Blackberries, Early Harvest, Snyder, Eldorado; black raspberries, Plum Farmer, Kansas, -Cumberland, Gregg; red raspberries, Early King, Cuthbert, Loudon, Eaton. -

Rinse all dippers, pails, strainer, cans, etc., with cold water. - Wash them thoroughly with hot water, to which some washing powder has been added, scrub with a brush until all remnants of milk are removed. Then rinse the utensils thoroughly with scalding hot water. Do not wipe them off with a cloth; they do not -need it; but incline them on a clean shelf or over pegs so that the water can drain off readily. Cleaning the Separator.

Flush the geparator with plerty of cold water immediately after use. Take the bowl -apart and wash with warm water and washing powder all parts until they are thoroughly clean. Then rinse them thoroughly with scalding- hot water and place them in the clean milk supply tank to drain. Lo - Do Not Mix Warm Wlith Cold.

Never mix warm morning’s milk or cream with the cold milk or cream of the previous evening. Such aymixture sours quickly. If the two must be mixed, cool the ' warm milk or cream before mixing, otherwise haul or ship to the factory in separate cans. e

Ventilated Houses.

‘Be sure that the roosting quarters are well ventilated at this time of the year. . Pure air is free and inexpensive and will enter every nogok and corner of the poultry house, if it is permitted. It is one of the very essential things to the profitable raising of poultry. Close, stuffy quarters’ are very injurious. 4 :

This 1s bad policy and often causes great loss. Do not expect to win every first prize. Thexe are a good many breeders in this country and quite a number of birds that are high class beside your own, i At the first sign of droopiness in a chick separate it from -the rest of the flock and if it does not quickly recover use the axe and burn the body. The up-to-date poultry raiser realizes through experience that his fiock ‘must have a steady growth, and leaves no stone unturned to obtain results by «careful handling. geit Often give the henhouses, brooders and brood coops a thorough disinfecting with some goo;! liquid disinfectant an®l dust the fowls and chicks well with lice powder. - - Doctoring Poultry. It. is rarely profitable or advisable to treat a fowl which gives evidenca of being seriously ill. Better use tha ax, unless the bird is most valuable.

Prgspects for the Seventh - Annual ~ Natichal Dairy Show, Chicago. ~ While this event has each year given evidence of its usefulness to the dairy world, yet the rounding out of the seven-year period promises to give to the coqntry one of the most valuable educational shows ever presented. With the thought in mind that the importation of dairy products is growing to a dangerous amount and that present prices and general conditions concerning.’ agriculture ln America warrant a tremendous amount of work to stop the terrific drain upon our gold by foreign’ countries for products ,we should and must:grow at home, the attention of the management has been given entirely to the rendering of practical demonstrations on lines of the maximum of préduction at the minimum of cost, of dairy products. While features of intense moment on sanitary® ‘and hygienic methods will be presented, yet the paramount work of this great educational show is for the farmer. '

Matters of breeding and feeding will be presented by demonstration and discussion;-the better ~handling and marketing of dairy products will be ‘discussed—in fact, everything that will tend to aid in profitable dairy farming will be here . shown --and talked over by the highest national ‘authdrities. The machinery department will have many active, interesting and instructivesexhibits. It is the intention that every exhibiior shall have an opportunity to display his exhibit, wholly or in part, in active use; thus giving practical demonstrations under expert hands. But the cow and her place upon the farm will be the paramount issue; with $9,000,000 annually being shipped out of this country for dairy products, the eow and, how to increase her capacity has the most need of consideration by . all patriotic citizens. '

No farmer in the middle west, be he already engaged in dairying or not, can afford to overlook this ten-day short course in all that is best for the'farm. In fact, this show has assumed‘a relation with farming and dairying that makes it the annual. round-up of all affairs of the ~dailry world, where show-yard battles are settled for the season; where trades are: made and where matters affecting the next

year’s work - are discussed = and planned. _ ' The show will be held this year, commencing October 24, in the International Amphitheater, Chicago. While the show is National in name, it will be International in character, as by coniparison .alone are we able to see what is being accomplished the world over. Some new and- useful classes are being added to the classification, which will be ready for distribution shortly. Adv.

Hairy Food.

A traveling man stopped at a hotel recently, said the Cassody -Times: He found a hair in the honey. He went to the proprietor and kicked. “I can’t help it,” said the landlord. ‘I bought it for combed honey.” The next day the traveling man found a hair in the ice cream, but the landlord said that was all right,. as the ice had been shaved. Again he found a hair in the apple pie. This surprised the landlord greatly. “Why,” said he, “they told me those apples were Baldwins.”— Kansas City Journal.” :

Forced to Work

An Edwards- county .farmer was short a harvest hand. He went to Kinsley, a mile away, in his auto. He found a man there, dumped him into his auto -and togk him out to the farm. ' : Next morning, ;when the drunkard had -come out of it, he asked how far it was to town. The farmer told him fifteen miles and promised to take him in the following Saturday if he would help harvest that week. The man worked all week without knowing that- he was only a mile from town.—Kansas City Journal.
