TIIE SUCCESSFUL It i3 a common exprension about newspaper offices that so and so has a good "nose for news." This means to Imply that he is good at smelling out a news item. Of course, he does not use his smelling qualities. The nose to a man Is, generally speaking, only a nusiance, for his soul Is generally dead to agreeable odors, and It Is only when he catches a vile smell that he knows that he has a nose. With womenfolks it is different. They are fond of using their smelling qualities, both with artificial odor3 and those of nature where flowers possess yerfump. Now, to get down to business, there is no one so dependent upon the sense of smell as the buttermaker. To be good at his work he must have a finely cultivated nose. He needs It to detect the prestige of decaying things about the dairy house and stable, that i3 tho?e finer shades of bad odors like mustiness and sourness. a fine nov-e to catc'h the odor ct the butter as it comes from the churn or butter worker. This is part of the fine art of butter making. He must also use his sense of taste to fit his gocdi for hU peculiar market. Saltin sr, for instance. Is seldom tne same for two different markets. Sight also cuts a figure in the proper accomplishments of the bu'termaker. . He mus know the correct shade ol yellow if he colors h!s butter, and he must watch .close! y the grain of the butter for -commission msn are very,close ohserver of grain, for this indicates the keeping quality. A smooth, lardy, grateness buter soon goes off in flavor while a bright, brcken-steel glittr'ng cTain 'nd'eates good workmanship and makes a good keeper. It is easily seen how important it is that the butter-maker should have these senses highly developed and well trai red." To do this," he must not first injure them by excessive use of tobacco, eating onions, or other strong smelling articles that affect the health. He must also cultivate sight, smell and taste by using them as often ad frequently as opportunity offers. For this reason he should go far out of his way to get an opportunity to test fine samples of butter. Get other people's ideas about these things, and especially learn whit the flavors and looks are of samples approved bv the commission mn. for after all, they are your men to pl-ase, without regard to what your individual preferences may be. When you first come into the milkToom or factory in the morning out of the freh air. your nose is in Its finest condition for detecting slightly objecticnable odors, and that is the time to eo nosinfi around to find thore thines and make a not1 of them. The great trouble with keeping out bad smells i3 the ease with which your nose can get accustomed to any prevailing bad smell and actually not knowing Its presence. Home and Farm. THE SHEEP BARN. In building a suitable pen. as in other successful farm operations, not'ce should be taken of the preference of shpeo for resting on dry Tr-arfs as compared with grassy plots. This characteristic demonstrates that tie .building site of a sheep barn cannot b? tco high and dry for the best comfort of the ßtock, for if there is one thing mere than another that shfep do not like it Is dampness; and to Insure prfect dryness in a pen it must be well liehted. Another character'stlc of sheep to Temember when building a house Is that they require a lot of exercise during their who!e lives. Not?ce how well lambs prow on the roadside, where they have to follow the dams over considerable distances. Especially do pregnant ewes require exercise. These are points to bear in m'sd In selecting a site for building. The louse itself can then be built of the ds'red material, but wooden walls aTe to be preferred. The p'ace rou.t not he made too warm and must bs well ventilated, else the s"heen will fhow their dlsaporoval of arrangement" by sleeping out In the yards. The feed racks mav vary, acCTding to the variety of stock keot vith the siort-wcoVd sheep the side of the rck from wh'ch the sheep feed should he perpendicular, to prevent the chaff getting into the wood. Beneath this rack there should be a trough for feeling grain and roots. Mangels should never be fed to pregnant ewes, and never more than two po'ind3 of tnrnirs per dav to the smiller breeds, nor four or five to the larger breeds, gradually accustoming them to this amount. Always lok w?ll to the waer supp'y, in order to prevent te sheep acquiring an appetite for snow. Clean the pen cut frequently, if roots and other succulent foods are fed. DHIED LIMAS AND CORN. It wa3 a great mistake not to plant enough Lima bean? and sweet corn to have an ample supply for drying for the winter's use. Eich of these vegetables can be easily cured by drying and will furnish, for the winter's use, as wholesome and palatable a dish as the fresh vegetables during the growing . season. Dried Lima fceans, of course, are a staple commodity, but the ons In market are the matured beans which have been allowed to ripen in the pods and dry on the vines. They make a whole ome dish, but are very mealy and not particularly sweet, lacking almost entirely the fine flavor of the fresh Limas. On the other hand If packed and shelied green, the same as though for immediate cooklag, and then dried in the sun, they will retain their oweetness, end flavor and when coclted bo particulaily ca fine as fresh

beans. ' . - Dried ewcet corn lias 'Become almost an unknown commodity since such cheap canned corn has been put upon the market. Almost the same tbing can be said of dried sweet corn that applies to lima beans. If har vested at just the right age and boiled and cut from the cob, as though to be eaten, and then dried In the un, corn will keep Indefinitely, and be exceedingly sweet and wholesome, which cannot be said of much of the canned corn offered for sale. Indiana Farmer. INSECT PESTS. Th9 poultry house absolutely free of lice and mites is the happy excep tion and not the general rule. One must be ever vigilant and constantlj aggressive in the warfare against these pests in order to even keep them in subjection, says Mattie Webs ter In Poultry Topics. When a breed er tells me that not a louse or mite can be found In h!s or her poultry domain I cannot help thinking that a thorough Investigation of the houses would discover eme of these tor msnts hidden away under perches or In some dark corner. Why this doubt of my' brother or sister breeder's assertion, do you ask? " Well, the time was when I made like assertions, and thought truthfully, but I had a rude awakening from my dream of louseless asd miteless houses and fowls. Just a? eoon as I became awara of the presence of lice a general cleaning was the order of the day, but never since have I decided as emphatically as in the times before I discovered the unwlccnie residents that there were neither lice nor mites In my poultry hcus. Whether you know that there are lice or mite present or no:, it will do no harm to treat the houses as if you were sure the unwelcome Insects were there Spray ths perches cften with kerosene and crude carbolic acid mixei or with some one of the good lice killers on the market and occasionally dust the fowls well with a gco insect powder. SAVING TOMATOES FOR SEED Select the earliest fruit. Select large fruit. Select fruit of good shape an smocth, from healthy ahd productive vines. Do not pick the fruit until verv ripe, not until five or six days after all signs of green have gone. If the seed is thus selected, properly saved and kept dry, Its vitality should last for several years. Tc save the seed properly ft should bp washed free from all pulp and thoroughly dried. Tco much of ths seed should not be put together when fresh, or it is very apt to heat and be spoiled. W. E. A. Peer, in Massachusetts Ploughman. SEASONING FARM IMPLEMENTS. Now is the time to leave all mowing machines, harvests, and other horse Implements out In the field to obtain the benefit of the fall weather. Plows and harrows will, of course, be needed yet and these can he kept under cover for a fail plowing. Th!s practice of fall weathcrinp of implemsnts is .quite general in many farming sections and Is encouraged year by year by a large class of farmers. It Insures proper weathering of wood and secures to the meta parts of the machinery a fine browr color. The practice Cs an entirelv st. isfactory one to the implement manufacturers, as a class. J. O. K., Indiana Farmer. LATE POTATO BLIGHT. The present rainy days, which are general throughout the country, should make potato growers alive to a possible late blight. The rem-idy is the old reliable Bordeaux mixture using the 4-4-50 or the 6-6-50 formula, and making the applications at Intervals of ten days during the remainder of the growing season. While this late trouble generally occurs in wet wrather. It also occurs In dry weather, during this month, and as the application of the remedy can do no possible harm. It is "best to be on the safe side and use it. Indianapolis News. Deep Enough. Bliss Carman, the poet, tells of an Incident in which the actors were friends of his in Boston. The Bos ton man is of an excitable temperament and easily rattlei; and his wife is cf a similar disposition, a d prone to give way to tears on the slightes provocation. Once when the pair were visi'ing a cer ain re:ort reir .h SpringSeld River they went out fcr a jaunt in the woods. In soxe way the man fell into a small trem, and as he was not a swimmer te found h m self In co-siderable diSBcuk ., F rtunately, -howe. er, the s.ieam wib not deep, and .he Bostcnian s on covered that, with due cauti.n, Le touli walk in to tie tank. All Xhi same he was dreadfully rattled by his predicament, and was slipping ad flouadengg in the mud to a distress ing extent. The wife, who from the outset exhititel sisns of hysteria fell half fainting on a log on the bank overlooking the- stream. When sha perceived ihe trouJe her huib nd was having to wade cut, sh3 gave vent to a torrent of tear3 right into the stream. At thi3 that unfortunate man evinced fresh evidence of "the rattles." Looking up at his weeping wife above him, he managed to gasp out, "For Heaven's sake, ßtop weeping into the river, or I am lost. It's deep enough already." Harper's Weekly.

Conn try Social Life. Country life in this day and age ired not differ very greatly from life r. the cities or towns, writes a farmer's wife in an exchange. When soiability exists what does it matter if vc do have to use a horse and buggy m ntake a call or visit? On every farm, if the conditions .ire s they should be, a horse Is kept for rhis purpose. The telephone has largcy done away with the old-fashioned, il'-day visit. Now, one ;in stand In ler own home and talk, where be used :o tfrive to see her. neighbor. Clubs are just as much a success in tLe country as in the cities. In this immunity we have one, limited to rwenty-flve members, which covers a adius of thirteen miles. While every member 13 not always present, we !ceep up as good an average as in any :own club. We have splendll raeetngs and a social hour afterward, with rrfreshments. Once a year vre hold a ladles reception, at which wo have two or three guests according to the Ize of the home in which we entertain. During the holidays we entertain our husbands and sweethearts with a play or contest, followed by a lubstantial supper. This club contin ues to grow in interest and if for any eason a member leaves the club, some ne else Is willing and anxious to take the vacancy. We have had topics, poems and historical novels, and this rear have taken American history all rear. Winter Is when the farmer has most dme for recreation. Many pleasant svenings may be spent with some neighbor when they can play games and have music and make an enjoyaDle evening for all. No man can live anto himself.

Plain tablecloths and napkins are made up very simply with ordinary or overhand hemming. Hemstitching Df any kind suggests bedroom linen. and is not in favor for the finer weaves. A 6ingle large letter in old English script marks the napkms and one corner of the tablecloth. One of the latest fancies is to have the initial or monogram directly in the cen ter of the napkin. Among the more elaborate linens a damask cloth for the dinner hour shows a rich satin finish, with immense flower designs standing out in dull relief. All patterns this fall are arge. Very stunning Is a single or chid design scattered carelessly over the entire cloth. Another lovely de sign shows autumn leaves on the cen tral portion of the clotTi while grace ful sheaves of wheat form a wide border. Sensible Coat of Broadcloth. To Clean Dirty Glasses. A thick raste of soda and water is excellent to clean glasses in which Ice cream or any greasy substance has been standing. If in too great a hurry to mako a paste, dip your fingers in water and then in- dry soda and rub ground the part of the glass to which the grease adheres, and notice how qiückly it will disappear, also how tha glass will shine after this treatment Lamp chimneys will shine like crystal If treated In this manner. Proper lted Airing. When airing a bed place two chslrj at the foot, about two or three feet away, then draw the bedclothes oyer

them, leaving the mattress bare, or, if you prefer, place the bedding on separate chairs, says the BrookJjn Times. A certain very particular housekeeper arranged two strong hooks in every one of the bedrooms in inconspicuous corners, opposite each other and about five feet from the floor. In the morning she stretched a line from hook to hook and hung the bedding over it to air for about two hours.

The earliest lace evening hats for winter show decorations of fur talis and richly shaded flowers. Some lovely white silks strewn with roses In old-fashioned shades, like cerise and brown, are shown. Tucks aro again stepping in in place of the shirring, for everything now is to look as slender as possible. Cashmere is making up for lost time. It has been "out" for years, but Is "in" with a vengeance now. Silk petticoats with a superior air have flounces of embroidered lace and lawn attached over the silk ruffles. For tall, slender women the redingote, both In cloth and velvet, is sure to be a favorite model for street wear.

HANDSOME WINTER WRAPS.

front with narrow green velvet ribbon. Those big roomy tweed coats, made as severely as a man's overcoat, are the most ''comfy" garment out for the winter girl. White felt hats faced with black velvet are modish, while the all black hat of velvet will be the thing for evening wear. A clear stone. gray is a very fashionable color for coat and skirt frocks, which are nicely topped off with a hat of darker gray. The short-waisted . empire coat is seen on every side and will doubtless be worn by those for whom fashion never designed It Some of the costumes most applauded consist of a skirt of shimmering chiffon silk and a blouse of chiffon in the same shade. Black broadcloth will be much nsed for the dressy tailor-made, but then, for that matter, to will garnet and olive green and navy. Chemisettes are not to pass away with the summer. Few dressy bodices fail to show some form of whiteness inserted below the neck. Much of the lace seen on gowns is decorated with flowers of chiffon In their natural colorings, appllqued on with a bit of gold, thread. Fashion has run mad after invisible plaids. These are not definite squares, but two tone3 melting Into each other with a ricn shaded effect. The most severely plain waist can be given quite an air if topped b? any one oi the numerous chic collars to-be found in the shops at this season. Green, gray, red, blue and brown will all be fashionable colors, while all-black and all-white gowns will be far more popular than last winter. Good to Know. A mustard plaster made with the white of an egg will not blister, while the result will be as enlcacious. A nail 'driven through an empty spool makes a good substitute for a clothes pez to a wardobe or cupboard. Rubbing with aweet oil is an excellent way to clean black chip hats. Be careful not to use much, and then rut with a piece of black rtivet till all oli Is removed. Whila still fresh, Ink stains may be rcmoTCl by tlniply moistening coyer-

Mix it to a soft paste with water, to which a few drops of ammonia have been added. Brush thia thoroughly into every crevice and polish with dry powder and a soft brush or cloth.

Don'ts on Names. Don't name a baby after a hero unless tho hero has been dead several years. Don't hammer a boy with a name that will prove a heavy handicap in life. Don't name a girl after a flower. Think of an old woman called "Pansy" or "Daisy." Don't name a girl Violet, when her disposition may be that of a tigerilly. Don't tack a fancy name on a kid. It makes him a target for his companions. Don't name a child after a relative from whom you have "expectations." The relative may yet marry. Don't forget that the man with the common name of William is more likely to write checks than one labeled Percy. Portland (Me.) Telegram. What Pleases a Man. Generally speaking, a man likes to be told he Is handsome, whether he is or not He likes to be told he has small feet. This Is a tip for wives.

THE FIELD OF BATTLE

INCIDENTS AND ANECDOTES OF THE VAR. The Veteran of the Rebellion Tell of WhUtllns Bullets, Bright Bayonets, Bursting Bombs, Bloody Battles, Camp Fire, Festive Bags, Etc., Etc While at Denver last month Major John Davidson told me a Btory about Gen. Grant's service as a deputy sher iff at Prairie du Chlen, Wis., In 1SG0. Davidson lived at Prairie du Chlen at that Awl. He is now a resident of Junction City, Kan. "A merchant named Ammen encoun tered financial difficulties and his store was closed. "Among those Ammen owed was the firm of Grant & Co. of Galena, 111., the head of the firm being ucn. Grant's father. As soon as the Galena firm heard that the store was closed, Capt. Grant was sent to Prairie du Chlen to look into the matter. Reach Ing there he learned that Mr. Ammen had armed himself with a shotgun, taken a stand In the store, and let it be known that he would shoot down any man who entered the store. "Everybody in town was excited over the situation, and when Capt Grant arrived it was predicted that he would not risk his life in an attsmpt to enter the place of business. "A lot of us young fellows decided to see the whole show. We stood in the street In front of the law office of O. B. Thomas, afterwards a 'captain In a Wisconsin regiment and then In Congress four or five terms, while the ex-regular captain re-enforced himself with the required legal papers. That done, wo followed him to the sheriff's office, and when the sheriff, Lawyer Thomas and Capt Grant started for the store, where we were sure somebody would be killed, we followed at a respectful distance and closed in when the store was reached. "The sheriff commanded Ammen to open the door. " 'I will not open the door, and I will kill you or any of your crowd If you force your way Into the building,' was Ammen's reply. "The sheriff said the old man was desperate and would be pretty sure to kill some one. "There was hesitancy on the part of the sheriff, whereupon Capt. Grant quietly said, 'If you don't want to risk It, make me a deputy and I will try it' "That was done. Our gang crowded up closer to the door. " 'As an officer of the law, Mr. Ammen, I command you to open this door, said the newly made deputy sheriff. , " 'I refuseand again warn you and your crowd that death awaits the man who breaks Into this store.' "Capt. Grant stepped back a couple of yards and springing forward planted both feet against the door, hurling It from its hinges. "There the old merchant stood, shotgun In hand, but he seemed to be dazed. Capt Grant quietly walked past him and proceeded direct to the office, at the other end of the store, the old man following, carrying the gun In his right hand. At the office Capt. Grant removed his hat, hung it up, and turning to the merchant, said, 'Mr. Ammen, -put your gun away and help me take an account of our firm's part of this stock of goods, and Mr. Ammen obeyed like a soldier. "We youngsters were looking for tragedy, not conedy, and dispersed a good deal disgusted. "I didn't see Capt. Grant again until March. 1SG4, when he came to the Army of tbe Potomac In Virginia. lie was Lieut. Gen. Grant then, and ho had a much harder Job on hand than that one at Prairie du Chlen, but, back ed by Uncle Sam and a powerful army and a wide-awake navy, it took mm only a year to kick the Confederacy Into worse confusion than old man Ammen's store was that morning in .1SG0." Whe Capt. Grant was selling goods in southwestern Wisconsin, the year before the war, he disposed of a bill to a shoemaker at Spring Green, Grant county. It developed that the shoemaker was a much better buyer than payer. Grant made numerous attempts to collect the bill, but without avail. In spite of the fact that he was known as a remarkably good collector. After the seller of leather had become famous as head of the army and was winning great battles, the Spring Green shoemaker had a good deal to say about his personal acquaintance with Gen. Grant The shoemaier had a son who was lacking in wit, though he was not wholly an Idiot One evening, when half a dozen patrons were in the shop, the old man toM interesting stories about Grant's visits and chats in his place, much to the de light of his hearers. The half-wit was also an attentive listener. Mrs. Shoemaker called her husband to the house. During his absence the son took his father's place as a talker about the great general. "You bet pop'll never forget Capt Grant" remarked the lad, who said no more until one of the visitors asked why. ,4Pop wouldn't pay Capt Grant rer some leather pop bought. I'll bet he nst pop mor'n a hundred times to pay f er that leather, and pop jest told him he didn't hef ter. One uay nucr the captain had ast pop real hard fcr the money pop said he wouldn't never pay it. Then Capt. Grant went right out of tho shop and unhitched his team. Jest before he got Into his wagln he called pop out, and he said, 'So you won't pay that bill?' 'Xo, I won't,' and pop started back to the shop. Qulcker'n you could say Roberson Jack, Capt. Grant came up behind pop and give him four of tho hardest kicks I ever seen a man git, and then he got Into his wagln and druv away. I notls pop don't tell you about that when he gets ter talkin about Grant" Lieut. Col. J. A. Watrous in Milwaukee Wisconsin. - Logan'i Devoted Work, An old member of th Thlrty-fint

Illinois tells about Gen. Logan's gih lantry, and how his devoted wife made her way to his bedside after he was severely wounded at Eprt Donelson, as follows: "Logan next appeared with his regiment in the attack on Forts Ilenry and Donelson. In assaulting the latter stronghold the Thirty-first was literally cut to pieces, the loss beinr something

I llko three hundred and fifty. The lieu tenant colonel was killed, and Logan, himself was shot in the left breast, and was carried off the field for dead. It was his gallantry In this action that won him the single star, and in March, 18G2, he reported to Grant at Pittsburg Landing a brigadier general. "While lying wounded at Fort Donelson, his devoted wife literally forcedher way to his bedside and nursed him through it all. On the cot adjoining his, with their toes almost touching,, lay Col. Willi m R. Morrison, who, while leading the Forty-ninth Illinois in the same battle, got an ugly wound. Mrs. Logan divided her attention between the two wounded men, and her nursing soon put them both In the saddle. To the day of Logan's death Morrison and Logan were bosom friends, and both ethuslastlc admirers of the lady who forced her way through a barricade of red tape to their cots at Fort Donelson." Bherman'a Courage Before the Enemy. The advance of Gen. Grant's army before Chattanooga commenced Nov. 23, 1863. It Involved one of the hardest fought and most protracted struggles of the war, and one which crowned tho Union with undying renown. Gen. Howard's corps was selected by Grant to open communication by the east side of the Tennessee river with Gen. Sherman. Learning that Gen. Sherman's position was not more than, two miles and a half distant Gen. Howard sent one of his staff on the dangerous mission of finding Gen. Sherman alone. The skirmishers were thrown forward until the line becam dangerously extended, and none ot Gen. Sherman's troops were found. The staff officer departed on his mission of danger; but by keeping close to the river succeeded In crossing and re-crossing the gap without being captured. Gen. Howard on receiving thifj. report, ordered the division to push further to the left and started out to seek Gen. Sherman. They soon met. Sherman on the north end of the bridge, dressed loosely, with a worn overcoat thrown around him, was directing the completion of the bridge and, as soon as the boat was put in,sprang over and shook the hand of the princely Howard. It was exactly at noon. In about an hour after the meeting of Howard and Sherman, the mtter gave his orders to prepare for an attack. The drizzly rain began to fall, and the object of the assault was soon hid from view. Gen. Sherman stood on a prominent hill to the left of the pontoon bridge, and having succeeded, with the aid of two orderlies, and in spite of the rain. In lighting a cigar, stood puffing away at one end, chewing at the other, and observing all that could be seen In the country before him. Around him were gathered at this time Gens. Frank Blair, Morgan L. Smith, Ewing, John W. Corse and Howard. The troops of the several divisions were encamped Just in front of him, while on the left and rear Davis' artillery was thundering over the bridge. In a very quiet tone Sherman gave his orders to form for the assault, remarking that the enemy was reported heavy on his front The information as ordered was echelon on the left. Gen. Morgan L. Smith's division being the left, John E. Smith the center, and Ewing the right The left was to keep wtll toward the Chickamanga creek, Sherman remarking: "I want you to keep up the forma tion, four hundred yards distance, un til you get to the foot of the hill." "And shall we keep it after that?" asked Ewing. "You may go up the hill," answered Sherman, "if you like, and can." Gen. Davis having gotten Into posi tion, and the troops havig been arranged as ordered, Gen. Sherman gave or der to move the assault They wero couched In calm, laconic, unpretensious. terms as follows: "I see Davis is up. I guess you mav as well go on, and take the hill." In a few moments after the threecolumns were moving. But it was destined that Tuesday should witness the great conflict for those hills. These dcings of that day were more of a preliminary than a de cisive cast the latter being reserved for the succeeding day's history.. The sequel of the fight the next morning's handsome epilogue to the night' drama is well known; Its laurels ure yet fresh and green. Sherman carried the end or Missionary Ridge, and the troops from Lookout Valley carried the point of the mountain. Josh Billings' Philosophy.
