An incideut of the trenches before Santiago is told by a member of the Ninth Massachusetts. He says: "We arrivod at the battlefield about noon, and were lined up in position behind a hill to act as reserves and to protect the food and ammunition. Bullets were whistling over our beads in a perfect storm; but we were becoming quite used to that sort of thing, and, being tired out, we lay down on the ground and tried to keep cool. Yuile we were lying there a shell dropped at the feet of Sergeant Walker, hot three feet from him. Fortunately it did not explode; if it had, the whole company would have been wiped out. "It gave some of the boys such a fright that they started to run, but Sergeant Walker called them back, as suring them that the danger was past, and that he was goiug to use it for a seat. He walked over to it and plauked himself down; but ho had no more than touched it when ho jumped about five feet in the air, and grabbing him self by the seat of the trousers, yelled: "It's hot!" New York Suu. The Original Tommy Atkins, The question as to the origin of Toiurnj Atkins as the godfather-in-chief of tho British army has been re cently discussed in the columns of the Western Morning News. The ro ceivod version is that the name origi- ally appeared in a model account form issued by the War Office. But it is asserted that a real Thomas At kins was, in the beginning of the century, a gunner iu the Royal Artil lery, and kept a pay-book in such a neat ami orderly manner that it be came a model for soldiers' account books iu general, which took the name of their originator. Then by a process of substitution known to stu dents of mythology, the individual soldier took the place of the book, ond the mythoposio Tommy came into being. Household Words. Known by Hit Walk. A tutor of one of the Oxford colleges who limped in his walk was some years ago accosted by a well-known politician, who asked him if he was not the chaplain of the college at such a time, naming the year. The doctor said he was. The interrogator ob served: "I knew you by your limp." "Well," said the doctor, "it seemed my limping made a deeper impression than my preaohing." "Ah, doctor," was the reply, with ready wit, "it is the highest compliment we can pay a minister to say that he is known by his walk rather than by his conversa tion." St. Louis Star.

If any one wants to know what dif Gcnlties the early settlers in wooded sections had to eucounter, let him make a clearing in some wood lot and then try to grow a crop among the stumps, no will break nioro plow points and harrows working this land than the crop will be worth when grown. But the early settlers had at least one advantage, and that was that their newly cleared land was free from weeds. In all the older settled parts of the country there are many bad weeds among the trees in the woods, the seeds of which have been carried there by birds or other animals. The Strength at Manures. The value of farm manures depends very largely ou .the food the animal eats as to its richness. As is general ly known, hen manure is the strong est, then sheep, pigs, horses and cows iu the order named. Hen manure is rich iu both potash and nitrogen and to prevent the escape of the latter ele ment it should be mixed with soil as soon after being gathered as possible. Sheep produce from the same quanti ty of dry food a much larger amount of manure thau hogs, and not being moist to any considerable degree it is very rich, but must be well cared for to prevent the escape of the ammonia iu it. Hog manure being moist and not inclined to heat mixes well with horse manure, but its richness is not indicated by its odor, dependingi ather on the richness of the food given the animal. Horse manure requires care ful management to prevent its heat ing, but when well handled is valu able, the liquid portions from grain fed horses being especially so. Cow manure, although rated as the least valuable of itself, increases in value by being mixed with horse mauure, and the quautity made makes up in some degree what it may lack iu rich ness. Where the Profit la. One trouble with the farmer who attemps to raise poultry for profit is that he expects to make that profit wholly from eggs, or wholly from the carcass, either of which plans is not a profitable one unless carried on with large flocks. It is carefully es timated that the food for a mature hen for a year costs in the neighbor hood of fifty cents, more if none of it is raised, aud that an average egg production per hen is about ten dozens a year, bringing an average price of hlteeu cents per dozen, leaviug $1 profit, or rather $1 ou each hen to rep resent the labor and investment in buildings. While some hens will lay more thau the number of eggs mentioned and others less, the average is a fair one, as is also the average price named per dozen. Iu order to make hens in small numbers pay, tho increase of stock, whether raised or sold, should pay for the feed, leaving the entire proceeds from the eggs as profit, in terest on investment and payment for care. This is possible if each hen raises four chickens a year to a sala ble age. The poultry farm, bo it large or small, ruu on this plan will yield a satisfactory profit. Atlanta (Ga.) Journal. What to Do With Skim Milk. If you have not enough pigs or poultry to use up the skim milk from your butter dairy, the best use you cau make of it, and perhaps even bet ter than feeding it to pigs and poultry,, is to give it to the cows that have produced it. If the cow will not cat it at. first, put some wheat bran with ground corn aud oats with the milk, aud sho will eat it for the sake of the graiu. Soon the cow will begin to like the taste of the milk, even if it has soured some. It un doubtedly helps tho cow's digestipjif, especially in summer, when .uuost of the food the co v cats is Laxative. The milk furnishes variejs "and of just the kind of nutriliorj. 'vuat the cow is apt to be ln'Jiiflg. Much of tho complaint f.Vst feeding graiu dries cows up and fattens them is due to the fact that the grain does not furnish enough of the nitrogenous elements that go to form milk. There is a limit to the amount of butter fats that can bo put into the milk. Whtn that limit is reached tho cow fattens. In other words, she puts the fat on her flesh or iu her stomach and lessons her milk product. Another benefit from feed ing milk to cows is that it gives them a healthy appetite for all kinds of food, and iuduces the cow to become a yo?rj r.s. even u oiaciotu feeJo:-. Separator milk is best for cows, or, for that matter, for anything else. All the souring fiat milk undergoes is ac companied with some loss of nutri tion. American Cultivator. A Worm llntvliery. During the full and winter, when ever we cleaned out our ben houEes. we threw the cleanings ia 0110 corner of our garden tot. We usod mill Bwccpings, wheat chuff, short straw, etc., in the houses for scratching pur poses. All of these, together with the chicken manure, made finite a com post heap, thut heated inside like tho maniire pile at the back of the coun try stable usually does. In removiug the stuff for fertilizing purposes to the garden, iu the serins. we noticed a great many worms uud grubs at the base ol the heap. Our young chickens were right at our heels evory time we turned the compost, or broke the eartli beneath it, Bcrutcliiuir and working away after tho vermin that infested the lower part of tho heup. They would go, also, of their own accord ufter each, shower in the spriug and work industriously iu tho neap. This led us to investic-ata further. and also to leave a good part of the refuge in a heap for them to scratch over. We discovered, on digffing down about six inches, that the earth beneath the edes of tho heap was Luiav.miuhci llOCS llludo bj what the boys call fish-worms, and that whenever it rained aud the sun came out later, the worms came to the surface aud theu the chicks would scratch down a little and get them. At the top of the grouud where the fertilizer lay there was a great lot of very small and red worms, and a great many white grubs. After taking a good view of the situation we decided to foster our worm hatchery, aud to utilize it as ono of the sources of food for our little chickens. Iu warm, showery weather it yields abundantly, but iu dry spells the worms seem to go deeper into the earth and can theu be obtained by deep digging only. II. B. Geer, in Agricultural Epitomist. Profitable Beef Cattle. Practical aud experienced feeders who breed or purchase steers for fat tening observe striking differences in the aptitude of animals of varying types and makeup to lay ou flesh readily and in such form aud quality as to command the highest price on the market. It requires a well-trained eye to detect in all cases the possible variation of results iu the store, or stock, steer; but there are some dis tinctions that are easily detected. There are certain types of cattle, for instance, that never feed profitably under any conditions, aud it is quite as importaut to discriminate against these in the feed lot as to be able to recognize the excellence in other types.; The characteristics that make the profitable feeder are naturally more difficult to detect in animals iu stock conditions thau when fattened, but notwithstanding this there are a num ber of indications that are fairly re liable. Though the young steer may be comparatively thiu in flesh and temporarily lacking the thick, even covering of the back and ribs so es sential in the finished carcass, he must nevertheless present that blocky frame and stoutness of build, accom panied by short, straight legs, wide back and loin, well-sprung ribs, ful ness back of shoulders and in flanks, prominent brisket, full neck vein, wido chest aud well-rouuded barrel, together with a good, soft, mellow handling skin aud fine, silky hair, giving what is termed the thick, dressy coat; without coarseness, and with it all a good, strong, vigorous head, clear, full eye, aud quiet tem perament. The importance of an even covering of flesh and good handling quality can hardly be overestimafed. The bone should be moderately fine aud clean. Coarseness eithor in the bone or about tho head and horns is particularly objectionable, as it indi cates coarseness of texture through out and a greater percentage of offal and cheap meat, as well as a ten dency to sluggish circulation. The head should present a certain refine ment, finish and vigor that in a meas ure indicate a general quality and superior excellence of finished prod uct, though this refinement must be accouipauied by delicacy. Professor C. F. Curtis, in Farmers' Bulletin No. 71. Agricultural Notes. Nip off the seed pods of the bache lor's buttons, poppies and coreopsis. Keep the sweet peas well watered and pick the blossom from the viues every day. A hay press for bailing hay is essen tial on all farms where large qnauii ties of grass are cut. Dnrinar hot weather ."fie plants should be watcrod tOf night, as there is less loss from evaporation. Uncut cevrn fodder is troublesome to haudjii, in the barn' and if fed loosely inhe yard it is partly wasted. As a rule a sick fowl does not re spond to treatment, and it is a waste of time to bother with it, unless it is a valuable specimen. If short of pasturage and no soiling crops are ready, supply the stock with a ration of bran daily. Bran is cheap enough now to pay a profit if fed to yo'i,'ig growing stock. When a sod has been turned nnder the land should be manured or ferti lized every year until it is in sod again, and if the sod is being mowed for hay, it should at least receive a fair application of tho mineral fertilizers. Keep the flower-buds out off the plants that you wish to bloom during the winter. Let the plants make strong growth during the summer, and by removing the buds the extra strength is thrown into the plant. The War and the Song-Writers. The newspapers which are saying tliut tho poetic spirit in the United States is less active than it was in 1SG1 05, because of the absence of war songs iu the present conflict, overlook two highly important considerations : (1) Less than three mouths have passed since the first naval battle of the war, and less thau one month has elapsed since the war's only importaut laud battle was fought. (2) Tho war of a third of a century ago necessitated immeasur ably greater sacrifices than this war will entail, and stined the country for moro profoundly. Let the papers which are saying that the Civil War inspired more and better songs than the Spunish wur has done, cite the names of tho songs which came out before the hrst battle of Bull Kun, Julj, 21, 1SC1, three aud a fpaarter months alter the fall of 8umter. This war in.iy or may not call out any songs which will compare with "John Urowu's Body," "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are Marchiug," "Johu Burns at Gettysburg," and the rest of the well known lyrics of the Civil War days. Very few of those songs, however, were heard of when that war was aa young as this one "ini " 4V Itflui Globe Democrat. A TEALPERANCE COLUMN.
