Do I know any thing about the ruins of this old mill? Well yes stranger I should say I did if anyone does, It belongs to me or rather my wife what there of it I tell you I owe much to this old mill. The speaker was dresses in homespun and appeared to be a thrifty farmer of forty five. I had taken a walk before breakfast one morning as an appetizer, out from Jonesboro where I was standing by the ruins of the old mill when he came up. The roof had fallen in windows and doors disappeared. The old water wheel had crumbled to decay and green ivy covered the ruins. The dam was now leveled to a road and a cabbage patch had taken the place of the mill pond. We took a seat on a moss grown log by the side of the ruin and he continued. I was with Stonewall during the war and had some pretty tough times, some narrow escapes and some hard cramp that this old mill once caused me made all of my war experience seem at least for a time like a pleasure trip. This was the first mill built on Cedar Creek and was built many years ago by old man BEN WHITE, who lies up yonder on the hill. After surrender our army was disbanded and the most on us was pretty close run. We had nothing and no way to get any thing. I was only about twenty one then, I was strolling round looking for something to do and I happened along this road one morning, Well that morning the wheel was in motion, the gate was hosted and the water was scurrying through. Old BEN WHITE was standing in the door, I says morning sir can I get a job here? He took off his spectacles wiped em put em back on and looked at me. Soldier says he, I was says I, till the surrender. Luckier than my boys says he, One of them staid behind down at Stone River, the other's lying up there on the hill shot in front of Richmond and come home to die and the old man took out his handkerchief and wiped his eyes Did you ever work in a mill? No. Well that don't make much difference business is picking up and you can stay. I'm getting old. I'll pay you what I can afford to, We can tell better in a week or two. Have you been to breakfast? I have not I said. Well go to the house said he, Tell KITTY that’s my daughter, the only one the yanks didn't kill, to give you breakfast and come back you can work on the dam today. There’s some leaks that need stopping. So I went over the hill to the house, I still had my confederate uniform on, and MRS WHITE met me on the piazza, I saw tears on her cheeks and I suppose the uniform reminded her of her boys. I told her I was going to work for MR WHITE and that he sent me over for breakfast, so we went in and she called KITTY who soon had my breakfast on the table, KITTY was about four years younger than I, the picture of health, cheeks as red as roses. Her sparkling eyes kindled a spark in my heart that has never gone out. After breakfast I went back and KITTY went with me to tend the mill while her father went to breakfast. He showed me the leaks in the dam before he went. In fact I worked a week patching up the old dam, and after that I worked in the mill and on the farm and in the garden. Drove the produce to town and became more and more attached to the place and to BEN and MARTHA WHITE and to KITTY. How I did love that girl. I was never so happy as when listening to the sound of her voice. I shall never forget the evenings spent in the big front room before the open fireplace when I was BEN WHITE'S hired man. BEN and MARTHA and KITTY and I used to crack hickory nuts and butternuts on an old flat iron. KITTY popped corn while the winter wind was whistling outside. In summer KITTY and I used to go fishing, sometimes we would go up the pond in the rain and ----- where the mill was not running we'd go down there and got inside the big wheel and fish in the deep hole. There’s where we ------- for the best fish. One day we had fish ---- PAGE C, COLUMN 2 our fishing tackle out of the mill and was hesitating whether to go up the pond or down in the wheel when a neighbor came over and asked us to lend him the boat. He took it and we went down in the wheel. We'd been fishing probably an hour and caught some fine ones when all of a sudden down poured the water from a flood gate above, and the wheel commenced turning. The sudden start threw us both down. I got on my feet in an instant and helped KITTY up and we commenced to tramp in the direction opposite to the way the wheel was moving. We had to in order to keep our feet. I was calling as loud as I could but it was of no use. The noise made by the falling water, the revolving wheel and the grinding mill drowned my voice. We couldn't get out, the plank from the mill had fallen in the water when the wheel started and gone floating down the stream. The water poured through the cracks in the old wheel all over us. The deep hole was full now, there was two feet of water in the bottom of wheel. Tramp, tramp, tramp through two now three feet of water. I held KITTY by the hand and we kept on our tramp. I was praying it might be a small grist. Neighbors often brought a two bushel bag of corn to be ground in a hurry. I thought if that was the extent of the grist we might stand it. We kept up our march til KITTY gave out. The water and the tramp, tramp had numbed her limbs her lips moved but I could hear nothing she said. I only knew that she was sinking down in the water. I picked her up in my arms with one hand put her arms around my neck and resumed my tramp in the middle of the wheel. I believe I felt happier than I had ever felt in my life. I held KITTY in my arms, her arms around my neck though I did not put them there. I could feel her breath on my cheek I could walk easier now than before but with KITTY in my arms I began to tire. My footsteps were more uncertain. My limbs began to feel numb. At least I could die with KITTY. I looked at her face. Her eyes were closed , Had she fainted? I put my lips close to her ear, The touched her face KITTY, KITTY . Her eyes opened our lips met. Her arms drew tighter around my neck my brain whirled was I becoming unconscious? I could feel that I was reeling as I walked. The water from above ceased to fall the wheel stopped. Someone leaped in, I knew no more. When I came to I was lying in bed KITTY was sitting by my side, my hand in hers. I had been delirious for a week, As my eyes met hers she said ALEX dear ALEX and she stooped and kissed me. That kiss brought back to my bewildered brain the events that led to it. I did not regret them. Uncle BEN had come down to the mill not seeing the boat thought of course we had gone up to the pond. He lifted the flood gate and started the mill to grist to grind a small grist. Finally he chanced to see the boat with the neighbor in it out on the pond. He knew that we sometimes fished from the wheel and with trembling hands closed the gate, rushed down and into the wheel to find me reeling and staggering like a drunken man in the water with KITTY in my arms. He got us out, but I fell unconscious . The next spring a freshet carried the old dam away and new mills having built in Jonesboro we reclaimed the land where the pond had been, and KITTY and I were married that fall. Father and mother lived to see our children playing round the ruins of the old mill, and died within a month of each other. Now I've told you the story of the old mill and if you'll come up to the house and have a cup of coffee before you go back to town I'll show you the wife I won in the old mill wheel and when you take a look at my daughter KITTY you'll see my wife as she was when we entered it that day. Two years after were married an uncle of mine died and left me a farm in Knox county where we spend part of our time, but there’s no place so dear to KITTY and me as the farm on Cedar Creek, for its soil covers the remains of old BEN and MARTHA and here besides are the ruins of the old mill. H E SCOTT in Chicago News A WHISTLING WELL - It is a most reliable weather barometer for those who understand its ways. In the town of Great Valley, Cattaraugus County, N.Y. there is an interesting curiosity familiarly known as the whistling well. It is on the farm of COLONEL WESLEY FLINT and was dug by the Colonel's father some forty five years ago to the depth of forty five feet when no water accumulating it was abandoned. Some time after a strong current of air was noticed rushing in and out of the wall and a flat stone with an inch and three quarters hole bored in it was fitted over it. Into this hole a whistle was fastened which changed its tune as the air was drawn up or down and it was soon found to be a reliable weather barometer. In settled weather the whistle as the air rushed in was silent but if a storm was coming on its approach was heralded by a warning shriek of the whistle as the air rushed out of the well. When the storm passed and clear weather came the current of all changed and was drawn into the well and the faithful whistle told the story by its changed tone. The whistle itself has long been worn out but not the well foretells the changes of the weather to those who understand the ------ of the rapid ----- of air is rainy weather a strain of spray is ------ up through the opening.

How many boys long to catch rabbits whose tracks they see in the light snow as they go to school or when going across lots to feed at the stack or stop in the woods. All through the winter months these rabbits or more properly, hares make delicious dishes. They increase in number rapidly and should be on the farmers table or sent to market at least once every week, A quickly made trap is the cask pitfall illustrated/ A barrel or half barrel will make two if sawn in halves. Each head must be of course be securely fastened in place. Then for the open end make another head and cleat it firmly so it will not split apart. This head must be a quarter of an inch smaller all around than the barrel and must be hung on two heavy wire nails put through gimlet holes in the sides of the barrel. It must not balance but must be centered so it will rest on the third nail at one side. To set the trap sink it to the top in a snow bank or in a depression in the earth and fill around it with leaves where rabbits run. A few grains of corn scattered like spokes to a wheel and leading to the tub as a center will attract the game to their doors. Some plump kernels may be tacked on the covering on the side opposite to where it rests on the extra nail. Bunnies will step on the top of the trap for his bait when it will suddenly upset and he will go and have to stay until taken out by his captor. A little snow or ice frozen on the cover will make the deception more complete. Sometimes the trapper will be agreeably surprised by finding a plump partridge in his pitfall. HOLLISTER SAGE in Country Gentleman. ORCHARD AND GARDEN Be prepared to plant onions at the first opportunity. Wood ashes makes the best top dressing for the onion bed. If there is any doubt about the quality of the seed toss them. Even the smallest seed will germinate better if covered lightly. Raspberry plants should be put out early as the soil will admit. In pruning all large wounds should be covered with white lead and oil. Buckwheat is a good crop to grow in the orchard to help build up fertility. A little drainage will help in getting the seed in early. So far as possible all the manure applied in the garden should be thoroughly rotted and fine. Onions, lettuce, peas, beets, radish and spinach can be sown as soon as the soil can be worked. Mix the radish seed using an early medium and late variety in order to keep up a succession. By using the garden seed drill seed in distributed more evenly in the row and is covered more evenly. It is important in the garden and prepare to get the work all done in ----, planning ahead will aid in this. Mix a few radish seeds with the asparagus, rhubarb and parsnips so that the weeds will not hide the plants. In the garden the best plan of applying commercial fertilizer is broadcasting. In the garden especially it is difficult to get the soil too rich. Plant the garden so as to have all of the ground occupied during the growing season, There is no advantage in planting any kind of garden seed when the soil is wet and cold. SUBDUE WEEDS - How to keep the farm clear of obnoxious growths. One important point in keeping a farm clear from weeds is to see that these germs are not imported in purchased seeds. Weeds are often introduced by the farmers own animals. Horses that have been fed at the town stables and cattle that have been allowed to forage on the highways may each be the means of bringing obnoxious weeds onto the farm. For the hoed crops clean cultivation is the antidote. Cut the weeds off at the surface of the ground at a time when they are at their best that is at the time of flowering and before the seed has grown sufficient to germinate. This is the best method of dealing with seeds where they have become a pest in pastures and meadows. In the latter sheep are very efficient weed destroyers as they will browse closely many varieties that cattle will not touch. In some countries it is said there are fields entirely free of weeds owing to very high cultivation and careful selection of seeds and manures. Such results are not to be expected in this country, and we shall continue to have weeds as heretofore, but they can be kept in such subjection as to reduce their injurious effects to a minimum. Where they serve no better use they at least give evidence of the soils fertility. Unless rich ground is closely covered with usual plants it is quite certain to produce weeds. Nothing surpasses cover for smothering weeds. If sown thickly and stock is kept off it after the mowing so that some of the seed from the second crop will be scattered , it will gain complete possession of the field so to the exclusion of the weeds.

When freshly sliced fruit is treated with sulpharous sold for a short time, the effects are all right yet such as to protect the fruit from insects. When thoroughly sulphured after drying however the fruit is injured in favor and worse with sulphuric acid is formed to sufficient amount to be aluminous to health.

END OF COLUMN 3 PAGE C, COLUMN 4 TREES AND PLANTING - SOME VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS BY AN EMMINENT AUTHORITY. After being well planted trees in a northern climate should have the earth around them stirred quite often in the early summer months and occasionally through the entire summer. They should also be mulched with green weeds half rotten straw or any substance which will retain moisture. A friend of ROBERT W. FURNAS having purchased a variety of trees for a park asked for instructions in regard to their planting and after care. He replied by telling him, Do not expose the roots of any tree to a warm or cold wind, let them stay packed with damp straw in your wagon taking them out as wanted and planting one at a time, Do not crowd your trees into small deep holes but provide for each one a hole large enough to take in the roots in their natural position and with some room to spare, If the soil is thin and poor plow or dig out at least ten inches of the clay subsoil and fill up with good black surface soil from under a tough sod or take sod and all and chop up with a spade in the bottom of the hole this making a rich bed of good black dirt to set the tree on and no to work in and cover the roots. Bear in mind that if the place where you want to plant your tree is not favorable to growth that now is the time to make it so not after two or three fruitless attempts and failures. Remember that a tree will be sure to starve and die without plant food and moisture, and that this can be found in or contained by a hard ---- clayey subsoil. Keep in mind the fact that most trees do not require to be planted on prairie soil deeper than three or four inches but a mound of good soil corresponding to the size of the tree and the hole should be built up three or four inches higher than surrounding surface, Cultivate often with horse power where it is possible leaving the ground smooth even to assist in retaining moisture , After July 1st mulch freely with green weeds or half rotted straw or cover with a flat rock or any substance which will retain moisture in a dry season. Water thoroughly once a week through August or until rain comes to your relief. You will find in tree planting as in nearly every thing else that work thoroughly done is the most satisfactory and profitable. Never use a spade to dig holes for planting trees where a plow can be employed. Western Rural EARLY POTATOES To source vigorous growth labor must not be spared. Sometimes it is an item to have potatoes for market very early. When this is the case care should be taken to select a piece of land that is well drained loamy and readily prepared in a good tile. Potatoes need a deep preparation and a thorough cultivation in order to receive a vigorous growth. Get a good early variety, Early Sunrise and Charles Downing are both good early varieties. Get seed of good quality, Good seed is necessary in order to secure a vigorous thrifty plant. It is much easier to keep vigorous thrifty plants growing than to induce a sickly plant to grow well. Prepare the soil well and then work out the rows running the plow deep. Take a forkful of fresh manure from the horse stable and put where each hill of potatoes is to be planted put on this about two inches of rich fine soil and then drop the seed on this and cover three or four inches deep at least pressing the soil down well upon the weed. Keep the soil in a good tile so as to secure vigorous growth. Thin out as soon as the plants make their appearance above ground leaving not more than three good vines to each hill. The benefit of the manure is that it keeps the soil somewhat warmer and also affords goods drainage, two items in securing an early germination and start to grow. In this way a supply can be obtained earlier than almost any other way of outdoor planting. St Louis Republic EXPLAIN THEMSELVES TWO EXCELLANT SKETCHES OF THREE HORSE WIFFLE TREES. A correspondent sends to the Orange Judd Farmer the two Whiffle tree sketches here illustrated. They are self explanatory and can be made by any one handy with the few tools required in their construction. The ironing can be done by the village blacksmith at small cent. The double hooks on inside ends of single trees in fig 1 should work freely through hole or better still by pulling in end of the single tree. A point in pig feeding The cost of feeding pigs before and after weaning has been compared by Wisconsin experiment station and the results appeared in their annual report for 1890. Corn meal skim milk and shorts were the feed that gave the best results and the figures show that the pigs made a more economical growth when fed through the sow. This being true it is shortsighted Polly to starve the dam with the idea that her pigs will pay better for feed after weaning. The sow should be fed as heavily as possible without endangering her young and at the same time the pigs should be taught early to eat in a trough by themselves and should also be fed all they will consume. Comparing the results obtained before and after weaning with those from older animals it was found that the best gain for a given amount of food was given with younger animals. To obtain the best results with a given amount of feed pigs should be crowded from the day they are born, feeding the sow heavily and continuing the heavy feed with the pigs after weaning.

END OF COLUMN 4 PAGE C, COLUMN 5 A DISGUSTED INDIAN - He enjoys picket duty but grows weary of the job. Indians have their own way of watching, and when moving with white soldiers no not take kindly to sentry or picket duty. An anecdote of a Pawnee Indian picketed on Powder river reported in War path and Bivouac illustrates the red mans distaste for the methods of the pale face. One afternoon in March LT. SCHWATKS was ordered to make a detail for picket duty and as the Pawnee scouts were doing nothing. It was thought expedient to give them a turn. A sergeant took half a dozen of them with the regular guard and having placed the picket post explained to the Indian chief as well as he could that he and his men would have two hours on and four hours off duty until the guard was relieved. I'll lend you my watch said he to the Pawnee, and striking a match he pointed to the dial, its now 6 o'clock when the shorter hand moves two points your first watch will be relieved, Do you understand me? Hey hey good answered the Indian and stalked away on his rounds. The sergeant being fatigued dropped into a fitful sleep by the watch fire of -- main guard. Suddenly he was aroused by the Pawnee's hand . What do you want asked the sergeant? Indian heap cold much heap stiff replied the chief "ogh that thong indicating the watch much lie. Long finger the minute hand has been all right short finger the hour hand him heap tired. The laughing sergeant tried to show the chief his mistake for he had been but a short time on guard. Ugh was all the disgusted brave would say and he would have nothing more to do with picket duty.
