The Bells of Shaadoa.
I often think of those Shandon Bells,
Whose sound so wild would In days of
childhood
Fling round my cradle their magic
spells;
On this I ponder where'er I wander.
And thus grow fonder, sweet Cork, of
thee:
With thy Bells of Shandon. that sound
so grand on
The pleasant waters of the River Jjee.
I've heard bells chiming- fun many a
clime in.
Tolling sublime In cathedral shrine.
While at a glib rate brass tongues would
vibrate.
But all their music spoke naught like
thine;
For memory dwelling on each proud
thy belfry, knelling Its bold notes
free.
Hade the Bells of Shandon sound far
more grand on
The pleasant waters of the River Lee.
I've heard bells tolling "Old Adrian's
Mole" In,
Their thunder rolling from the Vatican,
And cymbals glorious swinging uproar
ious In the gorgeous turrets of Notre Dame;
But thy sounds were sweeter than the
dome of Peter
Flings o'ef the Tiber, pealing solemn
ly. Oh! the Bells of Shandon sound far more
grand on
The pleasant waters of the River Lee.
There's a bell In Moscow, while on tower
and kiosk
In St. Sophia the Turkman gets.
And loud in air calls men to prayer.
From the tapering summit of tall min
arets; Such empty phantom I freely grant them;
But there's an anthem more dear to me.
Tls the Bells of Shandon. that sound so
grand on
The pleasant waters of the River Lee.
Admiral Dewey's Swonl.
"The Sword of Bunker Hill" will
perhaps be eclipsed in history by the
sword that has been made for Admiral
Dewey, the victor of Manila Bay, says
Miss Carolyn Wells in the May Su
Nicholas. This weapon, authorized
by congress In June, 1898, Is now com
pleted, and in wealth of decoration Is
worthy to take a place among the jew
eled swords described In the "Arabian
Nights." Both blade and scabbard are
of steel, but overlaid entirely with pure
gold, and all other parts are of solid
gold, exquisitely wrought.
The steel blade was made at the
United States arsenal at Springfield,
and is finely tempered to the exact de
gree of flexibility required to make a
perfect sword blade. This blade, grace
ful in shape and well balanced, is
damascened with gold, on which Is
engraved this Inscription: "The gift
of the nation to Rear Admiral George
Dewey, U. S. N. In memory of the
victory at Manila Bay, May 1. 1898."
Further ornamentation on the blade
consists of a procession of Phoenician
galleys, emblematic of sea power, a
flight of eagles, the symbols of our na
tion, and festoons of laurel, signifying
glory.
"Olympia" Is engraved on the pom
mel of the sword, also a device repre
senting Capricornus. which is the zo
diacal sign for December, the month
In which Dewey was born. On the col
lar of the sword are the arms and
shield of our country, and below them
the arms of Vermont, the admiral's na
tive state, and Its motto. "Freedom
and Unity." These are enameled In
colors, and the collar is further dec
orated with stars and oak leaves. The
grip or handle of the sword Is covered
with shagreen, or snark skin, held in
place by gold wire, and studded wi.h
gold stars, while the guard represents
a flying eagle bearing in its beak a
laurel wreath.
On the golden scabbard Is the mono
gram "G. D.," and below this "U. S. N."
These letters and sprays of rosmarinus,
which is a delicate sea plant signify
ing fidelity and remembrance, are set
with one hundred and fifty diamonds
of the first water. The sprays are In
terlaced in a series, with a star in the
center of each, and a row of swimming
dolphins on each side. The 6cabbard
Is further ornamented with designs of
oak leaves and acorns and the ferrule,
or lower end, is formed by two gold
dolphins gracefully twined together.
The belt Is of specially woven ma
terial, with buckles, slide rings and
swivels all of gold and ornamented
with oak leaves and acorns, while the
bullion tassel and trappings are much
handsomer than those usually made,
being of chosen material and finished
with especial care.
The whole fits in an oaken case lined
with blue velvet, on the cover of which
Is a gold eagle and a shield Inscribed
"Rear Admiral George Dewey.U. S. N."
On March 3, 1899, Dewey was made
admiral, an office first created for Far
ragut, and hitherto held only by .m
and by Porter.
The Right Kind of Oncers.
With all volunteer, troops, and I am
Inclined to think with regulars, too. In
time of trial, the best work can be got
out of the men only if the officers en
dure the same hardships and face the
same risks, says Theodore Roosevelt
in Scribner's. In my regiment, as in
the whole cavalry division, the propor
tion of loss In killed and wounded was
considerably greater among the offi
cers than among the troopers, and this
was exactly as it should be. Moreover,
when we got down to hard pan, we all,
officers and men, fared exactly alike as
regards both shelter and food.
This prevented any grumbling.
When the troopers saw that the offi
cers had notning hut hardtack there
was not a man In the regiment who
would not have been ashamed to grum
ble at faring no worse, and when all
alike slept out In the open, In the rear
of the trenches, and when the men al
ways saw the field officers up at night
during the digging of the trenches, and
going the rounds of the outposts, they
would not tolerate, in any of tnelr
number, either complaint or shirking
work.
When things got easier I put up my
tent and lived a little apart, for it is a
mistake for an officer ever to grow too
familiar with his men, no matter how
good they are, and it is, of course, e
greatest possible mistake to seek popu
larity either by showing weakness or
by mollycoddling the men. They will
never respect a commander who does
not enforce discipline, who does not
know his duty, and who is not willing
both himself to encounter and to make
them encounter every species of danger
and hardship when necessary. The sol
diers who do not feel this way are not
worthy of the name and should be
handled with Iron severity until they
become fighting men and not shams.
War's Awfal Sights.
One of the best letters and most In
telligible narratives of the war with,
the Filipinos has been received by
Mrs. C. R. Donohue of Portland, writ
ten by her brother. Charles R. Wyland.
who Is a member of company C. First
Washington volunteers, and who wrote i
from Santo Ana, says the Portland Or
egonlan. Mr. Wyland gave up bis sit
uation on the Tacoms, Ledger to Join
the volunteers, and was one of the bat
talion that presented each a soldierly
appearance marching through Portland
on their way to the front last sum
mer. He says:
"We have had numerous battles with
the enemy. At first we would march
for miles after them in the blazing sun
and fight them, but there are so few
troops here that we nad to stop, be
cause we have to guard the city. So
the natives think we are afraid of them
and now attack us. In two weeks all
the troops will be here, and then It will
not take long to finish up the enemy.
They must have lost over 5,000 killed,
besides thousands wounded.
"This war Is something terrible. Yon
see sights yon can hardly believe, and
a life is hardly worth a thought, I
have seen a shell from our artillery
strike a bunch of Filipinos, and then
they would go scattering through the
air. legs, arms, heads, all disconnected.
And such sights actually make our
boys laugh and yell. 'That shot was a
peach!' A white man seems to forget
that he Is human."
Garfield's Reading.
General Garfield was General Rose
crans' chief of staff when the people ot
his district transferred him from Mur
feesborough to Washington. Speaking
of him to Mr. Gilmore. who reports
the complimentary remark in his "Per
sonal Recollections,' General Rose
crans said:
"He has, yon know, been elected to
congress. He will make his mark
there, and come out at the top ot the
heap. He is the best read man in my
army."
Subsequently Mr. Gilmore found that
Rosecrans' opinion of Garfield's exten
sive reading was that of the army.
Learning that the chief ot staff was
"holding a camp meeting in his room,"
he went there. The room was filled
with division and brigade commanders,
assembled to express their opinions as
to the expediency of a forward move
ment of the army, which had been or
dered by Secretary Stanton.
Garfield's remarks were Interrupted
by the entrance of Gilmore, and his in
troduction to the 'officers. The con
versation had drifted away from the
important question, when some one
suddenly roared out:
"Silence in the meeting! The sensi
ble people here want Garfield's expo
sition of the first chapter of Genesis, or
the 'Decline and Fall of the Roman
Empire' we don't care which."
The humorous exclamation indicated
that in the opinion of the army the
chief of staff was what Bacon calleu "a
full man," one who could talk on all
kinds of matters.
Cans That Cost More Thaa Colleges.
The enormous wealth devoted to
higher education in America has be
come the wonder and the envy of
learned Europe. Now that we are be
coming a great armed power, a few
comparisons between costs of arma
ments and education may be inter
esting. There are four hundred and thirteen
universities and colleges In the United
States. The richest of these Is GIrard
College, whose endowments of 115,000,
000 would pay for building and equip
ping three first-class battle-ships. Four
other institutions of learning Co
lumbia, Harvard, Cornell and the Uni
versity of Chicago are endowed with
more than the value of one first-class
battle-ship apiece. With extreme econ
omy, the wealth of Columbia and Har
vard might even be made to 'pay for
two ships each.
Three other institutions are so rich
that each of them could turn its en
dowments Into a second-class battle
ship or a first-class cruiser. Nineteen
more have funds equivalent to a second-class
cruiser or a monitor apiece.
The endowment of each of forty-two
others would buy a third-class cruiser
or a gunboat In one hundred and two
cases there are investments sufficient
for the purchase of a torpedo boat or
destroyer.
Thirty-five universities and colleges
represent each the value of a ten or
twelve Inch gun and carriage. There
are seventy-three others whose en
dowments, shoveled into the furnaces
of the cruiser Columbia In the form ot
coal, would keep her going at full
speed for from six hours to seven
weeks. The productive funds of five
of these institutions, all combined,
would just pay for one Whitehead tor
pedo. The other one hundred and thlr
ty-four have no endowments at all
The Great Seal.
Half a dozen state department clerk
were talking about the war with Spain
and the signing of the treaty of peace,
says the Washington Star. Inciden
tally the great seal of the United States
was mentioned. The old clerk spoke
up and the younger members of the
group listened with Interest, for when
the old fellow talked, which was very
seldom, his remarks were well worth
hearing. "Speaking of the great seal,"
said he, "do any of you happen to
know that the seal of our country is
In an unfinished state? No? Well, I
thought not," and the old clerk smiled
patronizingly.
"In 1782. June 20 was the exact datt
the Continental Congress adopted a
seal. This same seal was later adopt
ed by the First Congress of the United
States. Now, a design was adopted
for both the obverse and reverse of
the seal. With the former we are all
familiar, or ought to be, but the other
remains uncut to this day. I don't
know why it is so, and have never
heard any one attempt an explana
tion. The design adopted for the re
verse of the seal is an unfinished py
ramid. In the zenith there is an eye
in a triangle surrounded with a glory
or sunburst On the base of the pyra
mid appear the numerical letters
MDCCLXXVT. Over the eye are the
words 'Annuit coeptis,' and under the
base 'Novus ordo Secloram.'
"The pyramid signifies strength and
duration. The eye over it and the
motto allude to the interpositions of
Providence in favor of the American
cause. The date underneath is that of
the Declaration of Independence, and
the words under it signify the begin
ning of the new American era which
commenced from that date.
"Now, some of you young men who
have plenty of time go to work and
find out why the reverse of the seal of
your country has not been cut, as pro
vlded for by Congress."

Farmers. Test Tear Seed.
From dancers' Review: A poor
stand of any crop may In most in
stances be traced to poor seed. It may
be Immature or too old. Most seed
deteriorates rapidly after from one to
three years. Immature seed Is most
often met with in the so-called hay
crops as alfalfa, millet and timothy,
for In these it is impossible to harvest
the crop so as to get all the seeds ma
tured and at the same time avoid shat
tering. The benefits of testing may be
summed up as follows: Testing the
seed some time before planting time
enables one to make arrangements for
other seed should the first lot prove
worthless. If the per cent of good seed
be not so low as to make it advisable
to get a new lot one can readily cal
culate how much more seed than ordi
nary to plant to secure the required
stand. For instance If In a test of 100
alfalfa seeds but 75 germinate then
one-third more seed must be planted
to give the stand that perfect seed
would give. As even the standard
quality seed contains a certain per cent
of seeds which will not germinate (the
per cent varies with the variety) this
fact must be considered in determining
the amount to sow. As simple an ap
paratus as can be suggested Is two din
ner plates of uniform size placed top
to top, the bottom one filled with sand,
or else with blotting paper, according
as the seeds be large or small. It must
be kept quite moist but do not allow
water to stand In the plate. Care
must be taken not to let the temper
ature fall below 40 degrees In the case
of the hardy field crops. With garden
varieties the minimum temperature
must not fall so low as that 100 seeds
by actual count will be found sufficient
if the sample be an average one. And
the sample must be a fair one if the re
sults are to Indicate anything. Delays
are dangerous, for if the testing be put
off till near planting time one will be
unable to get a new lot of seed, should
the first be of no account in time for
the most advantageous planting.
Other important factors in the selec
tion of seed for planting are purity,
size, and plumpness of the seed.
Balanced Rations for Work noises.
From Farmers' Review: The sea
ion of land work for horses is well be
gun and will continue on the majority
of Kansas farms till the first of next
November. Unless this season is an
exception to the rule, the majority of
horses will begin the year's work in
good flesh and spirits, but before the
season is over, thousands of them will
be so poor as to be ..almost literally
"nothing but skin and bones," and
will require a winter ot high feeding
to make them able to begin another
year's work. This method of treating
horses is ruinous to the horse as well
as expensive to its owner. Horses so
treated are weak at a time when the
heaviest work is required of them.
Their bones protrude in such a way
as to make it almost impossible to
prevent the harness from galling them
and we almost invariably find them
with shoulders covered with collar
bolls, with sore backs, and with large
patches of skin rubbed off their hip
and stifle Joints. Such conditions are
not due so much to excess of hard
work as they are to lack of the proper
kind and amount of food. All animals
require different kinds of food in pro
portions which vary according to the
conditions under which they are fed.
For example, the young growing colt
must have different food from that
given to the adult honse. It Is equally
true that the horse working bard
should have different food and that in
different proportions from the food
given to the horse that is not work
ing. Eminent scientists have devoted
much time and money to digestion ex
periments and to analysis of food3
needed by certain animals under cer
tain conditions. Their results have
been published In various tables of
feeding standards. By the use of these
tables any ration may be compiled to
suit the conditions under which It Is
fed. The calculations necessary to de
termine the quantity of each kfnd of
food to take are performed by a sort
of "cut and try" method and for this
reason are rather laborious to one
who has not had experience. Few far
mers have cared to take the time nec
essary to learn to calculate rations
quickly, and consequently very few
have ever given the subject of "bal
anced rations" any attention what
ever. It is the purpose of this article
to present a table of rations for horses
hard at work in which the quantities
of each kind of food necessary to be
fed in one day are given. The rations
are not all intended to be ideal, but
are designed to furnish standards for
feeding the various feeds that the Kan
sas farmer is likely to have on hand
or to have easy access to at this time.
I am aware that 11 to 14 lbs. is a large
amount of bran for one horse to eat in
a day, but nevertheless, it Is the
amount necessary to balance the ration
where only such other feeds as corn,
and prairie hay or timothy hay are
available. In such cases the ration
should be as nearly balanced as pos
sible. In the following table the
amounts of each feed to be used In
each ration are calculated from Wolff's
feeding standards and are sufficient to
feed a horse weighing 1,000 lbs. one
day. For heavier or lighter horses the
quantities may be varied proportion
ally. Amount of feed in pounds required

Swats hr Selection,
From Fanners' Review: More than
ordinary attention has been de
voted this year to the yearbook of the
department ot agriculture. The pres
ent secretary from the first has im
pressed upon his employes the Im
portance of producing simple, prac
tical articles which every farmer can
understand and profit by, rather than
abstruse, scientific articles, unintel
ligible to nine-tenths ot the population
of the country. One of the many pop
ular articles which the yearbook will
contain Is entitled "Improvement ot
Plants by Selection." It is quite sim
ple, yet instructive. It shows that Im
provement in this line is as simple
and Important as Is improvement in
the dairy herd. For instance; in se
lecting Indian corn for seed, it is the
common practice to select the best
ears at the time of husking, the main
object being to secure ears ot good
size, shape, and having large, well
formed kernels and a proper propor
tion of cob and kernel. This, while
good as far as it goes, does not take
the vigor of the plant into account
and hence does not accomplish all that
Is Intended. The largest ears may
grow on comparatively unproductive
and weak stalks; therefore to obtain
the best results, seed should be se
lected In the field. By patient selec
tion, year by year, although the im
provement each year may be slight
entirely new varieties of plants are
evolved. The article concludes with
"Common methods of selection are
simple and Inexpensive and should be
come general practices in agriculture.
Every farmer and horticulturist should
devise for each crop a systematic
method of selection so that the gen
eral crop may be grown continually
from selected pedigree stock. The
common agricultural crops respond
readily to successive selection and in
every case valuable results will doubt
less reward the agriculturist's atten
tion to this principle."
The Strawberrr Leaf Roller.
From Farmers' Review: The work
of this Insect was very noticeable in
the strawberry patches during the past
summer. In many Instances where
the attacks of the Insect were pro
longed, large numbers of plants were
killed through the loss of their foliage.
Quite often the strawberry patches
had the appearance of having been
scorched in spots by fire. In Kansas,
there appear to be three distinct
broods during one season; each suc
ceeding brood becoming more numer
ous, and consequently more destruc
tive. The following observations were
made during the past year. On June
14 the first brood of adults commenced
to appear, and continued to emerge
till the 24th; on June 22 eggs for the
second brood were being laid; on
June 24 the second generation of
larvae or worms were commencing to
hatch out; by July 25 many of the
larvae were in pupal state; from July
21 to August 10 the second generation
of adults were emerged; on August
14 larvae or worms ot the third gen
eration were to be found in large
numbers; by September 3 many of the
larvae were going into the pupal
state. At present we have no new
remedies to suggest aside from those
usually given. Paris green applied to
the infested plants at the first appear
ance of the worms would be very ef
fective. To determine the earliest
appearance of the worms necessitates
a very close watching on the part ot
the fruit grower. After the crop is
gathered, mow the beds, and collect

Ornamental Hedges.
There Is nothing that adds greatei
beauty to the home surroundings than
a well-kept hedge of either evergreen
or deciduous shrubs, adapted for hedg
ing purposes, says Wallace's Farmer.
There are several evergreens that can
be used and are admirably adapted for
hedging, if one has a moist, retentive
soil; and the American Arbor Vitae Is
the best tree to plant, planting the
plants about two feet apart In the row.
If the land is dry, the Red Cedar is the
best evergreen for planting. They
should have the best of cultivation for
a couple of years from planting; at
which time, they should be cut to a
uniform height ot 2 to 3 feet After
this, the only pruning that hedge will
need will be a shortening back of the
long growths, so as to induce a thick
ening up of the branches. In pruning
a hedge after it has got some age. It
is best to use some pruning shear
adapted to that use. The evergreen
hedge should be trimmed at least once
a year, and this during the first week
in July. It is necessary in pruning the
hedge, that you do not cut back to
where you did the previous year, as
there must be a little of the last year's
growth left so as to stimulate and give
health to the hedge. The best decid
uous shrub that we have is the Ber
berry. By planting a hedge of this,
you will have two varieties: The Pur
ple 'Leaf and the Green Leaf. They
make a beautiful hedge, by planting
them alternately of each variety; and
at 2 or 3 years old, they will make a
hedge that is 3 feet high and 8 feet
through. It Is easily kept in shape by
pruning, and is adapted to either low
or high exposures, as it is very hardy
and we would recommend its planting,
as we know of no plant that will make
as great an effect as the above two
sorts, planted as we suggest
Soil an- Manuring for Sugar Beets.

that the soil be well drained and It
must be of such a nature that it may
be deepely worked. A hard pan a few
inches down will produce prongy beets
which the factories will reject When
possible the land should be clover sod.
both because of the manurial effect ot
the clover crop and because of the
greater ease of subduing weeds on such
a soil. Land that has been well ma

that freshly manured. Any complete

As soon after the first of July as
Jiracticable I will hold public auctions
or leasing about 095,000 acres of school
land, under provisions of the new law,
in the following; counties: Antelope,
Banner, Blaine, Box Butte, Brown,
Ohase, Cherry, Cheyenne, Custer,
Dawes, Deuel, Dundy, Garfield, Grant,
Hayes, Hitchcock, Holt, Hooker, Keith,
Keys Paha, Kimball, Knox, Lincoln,
Logan, Loup, McPherson, Pierce, Per
kins, Rock, Scotts Bluff, Sheridan,
Sioux, Thomas and Wheeler. Under
the new law, if these lands will not
lease at publio auction at 6 per cent
upon the appraised value, they may be
leased to the person offering 6 per cent
upon the highest valuation. These
lands are in the best a 1o:k growing
portions of the state where cattle,
sheep and horses can be produced at
less expense and, therefore, at greater
profit than anywhere I know of; and
yet, surrounded with as good and in
telligent a class of citizens as anywhere
to be found. The harvest truly is great
and lasts almost the year round and
no more inviting field for the intelli
gent stockman and farmer can be
found; and now, that there is an op
portunity to secure twenty-five year
lease contracts thereon at what the
lands are worth, the lessee himself be
ing the judge, it is confidently expect
ed that all or nearly all of these lands
will be leased during the present year
at the public auctions, as above men
tioned. Anyone desiring to attend
any of these leasing auctions will be
notified of the time and place of hold
ing the same, as soon as it has been ar
ranged, if they will write me at once
giving the names of the counties in
which they are interested; and will
also be furnished a list of lands to be
leased so that they may visit the coun
ties in advance of the leasing auction
and examine the lands which will be
offered. Notice of the auction will be
duly given in the local papers. Send
stamp for copy of the new school land
law upder which the lands will be of
fered. Any further information will
be cheerfully furnished.
