0! comrades, ye who gently sleep
'Neath the erergreens and snow.
"All's quiet" where, below the hill,
Potomac's waters flow.
"All's quiet" at the front tonight.
And white the ground and chill;
For since the angel sounded taps,
The camp is wondrous still.
"All's quiet" here; the guns arc
stacked.
The guidons all are furled;
The lights are out, and while you
sleep
Peace rules your silent world.
So quiet! from no sentinel,
The challenge sharp I hear;'
No clarion horn nor rattling drum
Proclaim the foe is near.
t
Bat yonder In perspective rise
Majertic shaft and dome
The more than queenly city, whence
The laws of freemen come.
To her your priceless sacrifice
Made sure for coming years,
The powers whose wide ezpsading
sway
Thrills both the hemispheres.
"All's quiet" here; but millions, yon,
Awake the jubilee!
A race, with graceful song, recall
The price that made them free.
"All's quiet" here; but through the
earth
Your deeds reverberate;
Inspiring peoples to arise
And nations to be great.
Hark! dimly come in undertone,
The rhythmic waves of sound.
From the cities to the silences
That in your camp abound.
They are the pulse and throb of life.
Which, like a mighty sea.
Moves on resistless in Its sweep
To larger liberty.
And in that boundless life your deeds
Shall live forevermore,
'Till deeds of earth, like billows break
On heaven's eternal shore.
"All's quiet," comrades, and the snow3
That mantle you in white
Are whispering softly to your dreams,
Sleep peacefully tonight.
Softly we tread who marched with you.
So many years ago;
And, marching still, we're coming en
To join you 'neath the snow.
For frosts have touched us, limb and
brow.
And snows are on our head
That ne'er will melt until, for us.
The silent tents ae spread.

British Float Is Hoaxed
Westminster Gazette: An amazing
story is told of the hoaxing of a British
fleet by "a stupid Irishman" during
the recent naval maneuvers. It appears
that during an attack on Bere Island
by some of the vessels of the "B" fleet
the officer of the Hut received instruc
tions from Castletown coast guard sta
tion to gather up all telegrams and
secret plans, send a man away with the
same to hide in a cave and on no ac
count to let them fall into the enemy's
hands. With the remainder of his
crew he was then to show fight until
the last In the meantime an attack
ing force of eighteen men and an of
ficer had been landed, which inarched
to the Hut and secured its surrender.
All search for the secret papers, how
ever, proved useless, and the men at
the Hut maintained a profound silence
to all Interrogations. During the
afternoon one of the men of the Castle
town coast guard station had been
sent to Bere Island with the pay of
the men. Upon arrival there he pro
ceeded at once to the Hut (having
previously disguised himself), and
found himself surrounded by the in
vaders, who wanted to know his busi
ness. He posed as an old naval pen
sioner, stating that he was a native,
and was trying, with the help of his
Email pension, to make a living on
the island by cutting and selling turf.
He had provided himself with a turf
cutting spade in order to give color to
his story.
The sailors of the invading party
were very sympathetic and advised
him to go to England, where he would
be sure of getting work In one of the
royal dock yards. After getting the
invaders into a good humor he imme
diately went in search of the man with
the secret documents in his posses
sion. With the aid of some of the is
landers he found the man he was in
search of, took from him all the docu
ments, which he hid in two baskets of
turf, and returned to the "Hut. This
time the sub-lieutenant in charge of
the invaders took him. in hand and
closely questioned him with a view to
obtain some reliable information re
garding the defenders, but all to no
purpose. At last the sub-lieutenant
dismissed the man, with the remark
-that he was the most stupid Irishman
that he had ever met Little did the
officer imagine that the supposed stu
pid Irishman was the very man they
wanted as at the time he had in his
possession all the documents the in
vaders were searching for.
During the night the enemy's flotilla
left Berehaven, going west disconnect
ing the telephone of the Hut before
leaving.

best to keep up their courage and join
the main commands, in the alvancc.
On the right of the road the column
passed a fine line of trenches to all
appearances vacated by the insnr-

trenches were of no raise to the Am

Commandeering of private property
on the part of the Boers began on the
first day of the war and has continued
ever since, says the National Review.
It has been practiced with all the
greater gusto that the chief part of it
has so far been done at our expense.
It will be much less pleasant to the
Boers by and by, when It has to be
done In their own territory. To drive
them out of Natal and "Cape Colony
would be no less advantageous as a
financial than as a military operation.
They would then have brought home
to them for the first time the terrible
price of the struggle they have rushed
into. Until they are driven back on
their own soil they will not seriously
feel the cost of the war. Hitherto,
unfortunately, they have been able
to live, to a large extent, on the ene
my. It will be a very different thing
for their war chest when they have
to live oh themselves. Commandeer
ing is a very wide word in the Boer
vocabulary nowadays. There is im
mense scope for it in the republic, not
on the field of war only, but wherever
selzable property may happen to be.
In the international code of the Boers
private property has no existence.
Everything that can be laid hold of,
from a gold mine to a road side store,
is contraband, of war. Before the cam
paign was a month old the Boers prac
tically commandeered the whole of the
Rand gold field. It is not often that
a belligerent has a chance to loot thir
ty miles of gold-bearing reef at a
stroke. But this fabulous price has
not yielded much to the enemy so far.
Evidently they cannot work the mines
to great advantage, for they have now
started an alternative scheme to tax
them from thirty to fifty per cent on
their gross output. About a dozen of
the richest mines on the Rand are be
ing worked under government super
vision, ostensibly for account of the
owners, but the gold passes, in the
flrst Instance, into the treasury, and
the reckoning with the owners may
not take place for years, if ever
Meanwhile the government will have
the use of the gold.
A Baal Don et War.
Maine, the queen of mascots, and
the greatest war dog of the closing
century, with a -battle record of which
any soldier might be proud, is now on
her way to Europe, where she Is being
taken that our friends across the
ocean may see what sort of fighting
stock America produces, even in ca
nines. She is a Great Dane and an
animal of splendid pedigree mouse
colored, three feet high, and weighing
200 pounds. She will be two years old
In a few weeks, and during her brief
lifetime she has undoubtedly had the
most eventful career of any dog that
ever lived. Maine went to the Philip
pines with Battery D, California
Heavy Artillery, having been present
ed to the famous regiment of Ellen
Beach Yaw, the famous singer. On
the way she became seasick and nearly
died, but was taken ashore at Hono
lulu and tenderly cared for until the
next transport touched, when she was
taken on to Luzon. She rejoined her
regiment at Cavite. The remarkable
Intelligence possessed by this remark
able dog was shown by the fact that
she knew the bugle calls perfectly,
and was ever first to respond. But on
the firing line she won the most glory.
Always at the front during an engage
ment, she seemed to enjoy the smoke
and roar of battle and the whizzing of
bullets, .and proved herself very valu
able as a messenger. She participated
in the battles of San Roque, Caridad
and Delallcan, fought on February 9,
1899; Rosario, June 10; Noveleta, June
16; and Selinas, June 18. At the bat
tle of Voveleta she received a wound
and won the heart of every American
soldier by her bravery and intelli
gence. While death and destruction
were flying everywhere, Maine was in
advance of the American troops. Sud
denly she was struck by a Filipino
rifle ball, and quickly the word was
being passed along the rifle line that
"our mascot" had been fatally shot
SoMiers OfSdal Prayer.
The great majority or-the services
held in the British army and navy, as
in the American army and navy, are
according to the Book of Common
Prayer of the Episcopal Church. The
board of bishops of the church of Eng
land has just issued a special "official
prayer" for the use of their soldiers
in South Africa. The phraseology is
interesting when read reflectively. It
is as follows: "Almighty Father have
often sinned against Thee. Oh, wash
me in the precious blood Of the Lamb.
O God, fill me with Thy Holy Spirit,
that I may lead a new life. Spare me
to see again those whom I love at
home, or fit me for Thy presence in
peace. Strengthen us to quit our
selves like men in our right and great
cause. Keep us faithful unto death,
calm in danger, patient In suffering,
merciful as well as brave, true to our
queen, our country and our colors. If
If be Thy will, enable us to win vic
tory for Britain; but above all, grant
us the better victory over temptation
and sin, over life and death, that we
may be more than conquerors through
Him who loved us. and laid down His'
life for us, Jesus our Savior, the Cap
tain of the army of God. Amen."

This is a smooth perennial, with
erect or straggling glaucous steau
three to six feet high, compound
leaves, which spring directly from the
ground, white flowers, blooming la
July and August, and a fleshy root
which has a muskrat-llke odor, aad
which consists of two very distinct
and characteristics parts. The more
conspicuous of these is the vertical
rootstock, which is from one to six
inches long by one or two thick, and
is curiously divided into numerous
chambers by horizontal partitions.
This rootstock furnishes the bulk of
the poison. The other portion of the
root consists of solid, fleshy fibers,
which run along on or just under the
surface of the soil, and send off nu
merous rootlets from beneath. The

Turning Off Old Kwes.
When Iambs come early in the sea
son and are sold as milk lambs, the
dams, if aged, should be sold also soon
after the lambs. They will fetch a
higher price if sold then when in con
dition for selling, than if sold later.
The better price is secured because of
the fact that the market is not over
stocked in the early months of sum
mer as It Is in the late months of
autumn, says the Farmer. But ewes
cannot be turned off at such a time
unless they are fat To secure such
a result special pains may be necessary
In feeding such ewes while nursing
their lambs. It may bs necessary to
use a considerable proportion of bar
ley, rye or corn in the grain given to
the dam while she is nursing her lamb.
This will prevent that falling off In
flesh that is likely to occur during the
nursing period unless some means is
taken to prevent It When the lamb
is sold it may be necessary to feed a
low diet for a few days until the milk
flow ceases. The heavy grain ration
should then be continued. If there is
on hand at the same time a well-grow
rape pasture, the said pasture will do
the rest If the rape is well grown it
will fatten the dam with but little
grain added. If the lambs are late,
then the ewes will of necessity be sold
in the fall. Here again the rape pas
ture will make them ready for sale
with but little outlay. Sheep owners
should try and market stock of this
class before the winter sets In.

Reports from the northwest say that
there is to be a Cured Fruit Associa
tion formed, patterned after the Cal
ifornia Raisin Growers' Association,
which proved so successful last year.
The new association will take in all
the manufacturers of cured fruit In
the Pacific northwest The objects
will be to make a uniform pack, and
ensure that the evaporated prunes and
other like fruit be placed on all the
markets in the most perfect form
possible. The price will also be made
uniform and reasonable. It remains
to be seen if these men can make as
great a success of it as did the Cali
fornia association mentioned.
The spring is here and vegetation
Is awakening. With it will also
awaken the Insects that have hiber
nated during the winter. In addition,
the spores of apple scab fungus will
begin their work with the increase
of warmth. Thi3, therefore, is the
time to buy spraying apparatus, if It
has not been already purchased. The
man whose trees have not been attack
ed is the man that wants to be first
in securing the advantages of spray
ing. The chief value of this operation
lies in the prevention of attacks. After
insects have fed extensively on the
foliage of the trees all the spraying
In the world will not cure the trouble.
It can only prevent further injury. We
earnestly urge every man that has
large Interests in orchards or .small
fruit plantations to secure a spraying
outfit and use It Spraying has been
demonstrated to be of almost ines

to grow good fruit

The opening up of the Alaskan gold
fields promises to create a new mar
ket for fruit The fruit raisers on the
Pacific coast are especially- hopeful,
believing that they will be in a posi
tion to do most of the supplying. The
building of railroads Into Alaska will
mean the necessity for hiring large
numbers of laborers. The opening of
new mines will create numerous min
ing towns and some of these will de
velop into good sized cities. Though
Alaska bids fair to produce much of
the food stuff it needs, yet It will cer
tainly be a generation before tree
fruits of any kind will be extensively
produced, even on the islands off the
southwestern coast The people that
go to this new region will be fruit
eaters, because they -will be mostly
bBfssv V U aVkvfe I

drawn from American cities, where the
habit of fruit eating has been formed.
We believe the Pacific coast fruit
growers are right in expecting a aew
market for their tree' fruits in the
colder rations to the north of them.
Care ef Vans Iaaaleaaeat.
The rise in the pries of implements
will bring about one good result If It
arouses farmers to the Importance of
taking care of their purchases. The
lack of timber In many portions of the
prairie states and the poverty of pio
neers compelled them at the start to
do without some of the buildings con
sidered necessary on an eastern farm.
A shack for the shelter of live stock
was frequently all that could be af
forded by the new settler, and his Im
plements suffered In consequence.
Had the Improvidence stopped there
the results would not have been seri
ous, for In a few years those pioneers
bad either accumulated enough to
properly equip their farms with tools
and buildings, or had been forced out
of business through an ability to cope
with conditions. Unfortunately, how
ever, thriftless habits remained when
all excuse for such practices had pass
ed away, and today on many Illinois
farms we see farm products going to
waste and valuable implements ex
posed to the sun and storm to a degree
that would have scandalized the care
ful New England farmers of a century
ago. What would be thought of a
housekeeper who would place an ex
pensive range in a leaky shed, or leave
a sewing machine exposed to the
weather, yet that is the kind of care
taking that prevails among many
farmers. How often we see the plow
left in the furrow over night "so it
will be handy" in the morning, or see
the reaper, the hay rake or the thresh
er standing unsheltered in the field.
Wagons and carriages experience the
same neglect and It does not take long
for a collection of dirty, rickety ve
hicles and rusty Implements to thor
oughly advertise the shlftlessness of
their owner. If high prices would make
such farmers provide shelter for their
tools and then keep them In good order
and repair, they would prove a bless
ing In disguise to many an agricultur
ist who now wonders why he doesn't
"get along better."
Ttaae ef Plaatlag- Kaflr Cora.
Though Kafir corn is a dry country
plant, it yet requires a supply of mois
ture to get it started. If it is planted
late It may do well, for it may get rain
enough to give it a start But in most
of our years, in the regions where it
pays to grow Kafir, in the semi-arid
West, the late seeding cannot be ex
pected to get sufficient moisture to
give It the proper start During the
last season tests were made at the
Oklahoma agricultural college as to
the relative benefits of early and late
planting. The dates of planting were
April 4, 11, 19, 26, May 16, 23, 30, June
6, 13. Each plat contained 5,592 square
feet of. land. The yields of the plant
ings were as follows: April 4, 43.2
bushels per acre; April 11, 34.6; April
19, 34.3; April 26, 30.3; May 16, 28.8;
May 23. 22.8; May 23, 28.6; May 30.
24.0; June 6, 13.4; June 13. 2.8. It
will be seen that the earliest planting
gave by all odds the best result, and
that the yields were poorer the later
the plantings were made, with two ex
ceptions. The June plantings were
failures. The early planted grain got
the moisture that was needed for fill
ing and maturing, while the late sown
grains had to battle with the heat and
drouth of midsummer.
Oar Dairy Interests.
H. C. Adams, Dairy and Food Com
missioner of Wisconsin, says: The
butter product of this country has an
estimated annual value of S300.000.000.
All of the silver and gold products of
the country for two years could be
bought with the product of the churn
for a single year. Not only that, but
the cow leaves behind her farms which
are richer in fertility, and farmers
richer in the knowledge which the
mysteries of her life and product com
pel. The dairy business of this coun
try .has renovated thousand of farms,
and hundreds of thousands of farmers.
It has revolutionized the agriculture of
my own state, as it has Iowa, and as it
will Minnesota, Illinois and Michigan.
It Is the enemy of farm mortgages,
the friend of the merchant, the manu
facturer and men of all classes, except
those who imitate the product, and
claim a God-given right to copy the
form of that product and steal its color.
Only the limitations of state and fed
eral constitutions should restrict the
laws that hamper the traffic in coun
terfeit butter.
Two Ooad Cows.
S. Hoxle, superintendent of the ad

sociation, writes to the Farmers' Re
view as follows: Of the cows tested,
the two most remarkable are those of
Beryl Wayne, a cow between seven
and eight years old, with a product of
24 lbs. 3.8 oz. butter, 80 per cent fat, or
22 lbs. 9.9 oz. butter at 85.7 per cent
fat; and of Lilith Pauline De Kol, a
cow about three and one-fourth years
old with the unprecedented product of
24 lbs. 7.4 oz. butter, 80 per cent fat, or
22 lbs. 13.3 oz. butter at 85.7 per cent
fat to the pound. At my request both
these cows were retested by Prof. C.

the first tests fully confirmed.

commenced to take your medicine I
was in a terrible state, wishing myself
dead a good many .times. Every part

well and enjoying good health. I shall
always praise your medicine." Mrs.

not be exactly rational at times. I
took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
