Farm Reminders
Asparagus once planted is good
for many years. It is one of the
first vegeUbles to be ready in the
spring. It will grow well under a
variety of soil and climatic con
ditions. Asparagus is bist when
served within a few hours after
cutting, hence its added value as a
farm vegetable. A circular on
planting is available at O. A. C.
"A movement is oil throughout the
state to encourage the farmers to
take better care of the cream. As
warm weather approaches the cream
should be kept cool at all times. It
is a good habit to separate right af
ter milking because the cream is at
a very good temperature then to get
maximum results. Do not add warm
cream to cold cream. Shipment of
cream should be made at least

Fort Henry's defenders bent off the
attacks of a force of Hrltlsh niul In

of the bloody sevens," that the fort
witnessed an affair unique In frontier
history perhaps the only Instance of
Indians attempting to reduce a white
man's fort by use of artillery.
On September 1 a large force of In
dians led by Simon Olrty, the notori
ous white renegade, attacked the fort.
But the handful of dofvtulers gave
such a good account of themselves
that at the end of the day the savages
had suffered heavy losses.
Then some genius among the at

J TALES OF THE
OLD FRONTIER
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
(t lull. Western N'wnpier I'niun.)
THE INDIANS' WOODEN CANNON.
FOUT HKNKV, built In 1774 on the
present site of Wheeling, W. Va
Is Justly . famous for the frontier
heroes associated with It and the many
thrilling incidents in Its history. The
first settler there was Col. Ebenezer
Zane and from time to time there
came to the fort such men as Daniel
Boone, Simon Kenton, Lord Punmore,
Lewis Wetiel, George Rogers Clark,
MaJ. Sam McCullough, Cornplanter,
Seneca, and Logan, the Mingo.
Here Colonel Zane's sister, Betty,
dashed Into fame when she sped across
a bullet-swept clearing to carry in her
apron the much-needed powder to the
besieged settlers. Here Maj. Sam Mc
Cullough performed his feat of horse
manship and made the leap for life
which added to his already great re
nown on thg border. . And ..here pn
wood and tilled to the muzzle with a
heavy charge of powder, stones and
scraps of Iron. Then It was dragged
to a point within 00 yards of the
stockade and discharged.
But the experiment was far from
being a success. Instead of smashing
down the gates of the fort, as the In
dians had hoped, this Improvised can
non burst Into a thousand pieces and
rained Its missiles down upon the In
dians, killing and wounding many of
them.
Discouraged by this result, flirty
postponed further attack until morn
ing. But by this time reinforcement
led by Major McCullough this being
the occasion of McCullough's famous
leap had arrived and the savages
were forced to raise the siege.

"THE LITTLE CHURCH AROUND
THE CORNER"
So fittingly descriptive and yet at
1 the same time so unusually appropri
ate Is the legend "The Little Church
Around the Corner" that Its long-continued
usage In referring to this quaint
and honored landmark In "Little Old
New York" hss all but blotted the real
name of this house of worship from
the memory of the hordes of pilgrim
visitors who, nnrually or more or leys
often, Journey thither to "pay their
respects."
"The Little Church Around the Cor
ner," squatty, broad-spread and set
well back from the narrow and husy
thoroughfare, Is none other than the
Church of the Transfiguration, Its
exact location is No. S V-vA fth
street, Just around the corner from
Fifth avenue.
The story of how this unusual nnme
came Into being, and which urose In a
perfectly natural mannert Is Indeed
interesting. It also serves to Illus
trate how, through a mere turn of
fate, fume sometimes unexpectedly at
taches Itself to an object In this case
a religious edifice.
A noted actor had died, lie had no
church connection. As he was widely
known, his fumlly und friends felt
that a public funeral was a necessity.
The curator of a neighboring houe
of worship was requested to conduct
the funeral service. He promptly de
clined, adding that "perhaps the rec
tor of the little church around the cor
ner might be willing to serve." History
records the fact that the funeral was
held at "The Little Church Around the
Corner."
Following in the wake of this Inci
dent, The Church of the Transfigura
tion was adopted as the Protestant
house of worship by the theatrical pro
fession. Since that time, this little
church has ben the scene of count
less christenings, weddings and funer
als. The church and its present and
past pastors have so endeared them
selves to all who have come Into di
rect contact with them that, recently,
when the present rector celebrated
his silver Jubilee, letters, telegrams
and gifts from all sections of the
country, especially from uctors and
newspaper men, flowed In to express
the "Many happy returns of the day"
spirit In the hearts of the senders.

In Cost of Building.
The snvngo built his shelter of
wood, according to the availability of
the material and his knowledge of
handling It, and In primitive countries
ioduy, human habitations re made of
f trees, limbs, leaves, wherever they
exist, almost precisely as In the dawn
of civilization, says the New York
State College of Forestry, showing the
relation of the wood shortage and the
shortage of homes.
"It Is Instinctive with man to use
wood because of Its adaptability and
durability and because the custom has
been handed down through the ages.
As long as wood Is plentiful and cheap,
man will use it to the exclusion of
other materials because of the perfect
service wood renders.
"In this country the common people
build homes of wood ni long as they
can nfford them. When wood goes
beyond the purchasing power of the
average person, the cost of owning a
home becomes prohibitive to the ma
jority of people.
"The consumption of wood usually
expands with the development of civil
Izatlon. But the people of the United
States today are consuming the same
amount of timber they did In 1870 for
the reason Quit our forests are unable
to meet the normal demand of the
country. This Is one of the chief rea
sons for the shortage of hundreds of
thousands of homes. The consumption
of wood In this country has been de
clining because the price has been go
ing up. The rise In price Is due
chiefly to the reduction of supply. Our
virgin timber Is almost gone.
"Lumber Is essential, a need of the
common people. The rich can build
marble palaces, but the poor man de
pends on wood for a home of his own,
Whenever the price of wood restricts
home building, the average man Is
forced to rent nt painful rates, which
Is a more expensive way to provide a
domicile for himself and family.'
