Another mark of ripe fruit is tenderness. The young, gceg fruit is hard and stonelike. Another er of ripeness is sweetness. The M~wip frnit is sour.

Gilbert Tells of How He and a Comrade becured Fleat to Supple ment Their Corn Rations. It was during the winter cam )aign in East Tennessee in 1862 73 and our regiment (the old (th) was on the march from Knoxville, lenn., to Richmond, Va. We aad gone into winter quarters at Norristown. Rations were very, ;carce during this winter; also .lothing. For some time our -ation was one ear of corn per lav to the man. This we pre )ared for eating by shelling it nto an oven and pounding it into L coarse hominy, for we were too' lungry to take up much time in ts preparation. I recall one nowy day, while in these winter luarters, when the snow was mnee deep on the ground and the nen had absolutely nothing to at in their haversacks, one of my omraces (William R. Garrison) md myself went up into the nouutains in search of food, or ts we then expressed it, "we C vent foraging." We were both n bad plight for marchiug over J he rough mountains covered with ee and snow, our feet being tied I ip with rags to hold our wornout Ioes together and keep our feet rom freezing. We hunted a long ime and could find no animal or eat fur a distance of more than 2 ive miles. At last in joyful sur )rise we came acros a sow and ] our niee shoats. They were iw-ar the owner's house, but some 'old ieb" must have been after hew before, for just as they pied us the shoats began tU ] 'buff, buff," and made for the ouse; but the old sov was not so y, or too poor and weak to run.
