You dim little ghost-girl, you! Fannie Kemble Johnson. Canadian He: Lieut E. W. B. Morrison of D Bat tery, now in South Africa, with Car narvon field force, writes as follows to an Ottawa (Ont) friend: "Just now a load of oats and straw was brought into camp and when the drivers were called up to draw the ration they came on the run, as if it was something good to eat for themselves, and fairly fought over It, each man his 'moke.' It Is peculi arly unfortunate that the horses can not be fed up. because the Canadian gun horses and troopers have stood the arduous service splendidly. Their feet and backs and shoulders are in fine shape, and their general health is excellent; but they are being played out for lack of food. Even the horses that have been foundered by the wheat get well after a few days' marching and the care their drivers give them. A horse will be found in the morning so stiffened up that it can hardly move ten feet apparently. It is put on the center gun or wagon team, and the other five horses practi cally pull It along all day. Every halt it lies down in the harness and often the driver has to put the whip on it to prevent it falling down on the march. It is kind cruelty, however, because if the horse goes down It will have to be shot whereas by lugging it along for a day or two it usually re covers. The vitality of the Canadian horse Is wonderful. The Australian and English do not stand the service nearly so well. Yesterday six dead horses marked the line of march from Blaau Spruit to this place. Only one horse in D battery dropped, and it was the most awful looking skeleton you ever saw in draught It was left for dead some distance back, but half an hour after the old chap, walked back into camp, and the boys gave him a cheer. It is pitiful to see the old troopers play out on the line of march. We, of the artillery, will be trudging on through the sand, when we will come upon a horse of the advance guard standing by the roadside, sway ing groggily on its legs, Its neck stretched out and its eyes glazing in death. When it hears the clank of the guns and the tramping of the horses In the column, it will reel forward in a game effort to Join the ranks, and tumble in a heap. The battery passes on, and a minute later the sharp crack of a pistol announces that some more horse flesh is fertilizing "the wild and waste karroo.'' A gunner of D battery had an unpleasant experience yester day. On the previous day he was de tailed to lead a sick horse. At the noon halt he was detailed on some fatigue work until the battery was moving off, when he made a rush for the column and clambered on a gun carriage, thinking Bomebody else would have looked after the horse. But this s not the way things are done on this sort of a Job. On arrival at the night halt the horse was reported missing, the rear guard had not brought it on, nor any other unit The gunner was given some hard tack and a tin of bully beef and ordered to go back for the horse In the morning and overtake the column here. To his credit be it said, that he acquiesced cheerfully, and admitted that the punishment fitted the crime. He left on, his lonely Jour ney at daybreak and found the horse in the possession of a Dutch farmer, who at first refused to give him up, but the gunner had a pursuader with him. The Dutchman pretended to have lost the halter, but the gunner drove the horse before him on the road for ten miles, until he met a man who gave him a strap to lead It with, and at 6 o'clock last night he marched into camp, having covered thirty miles in twelve hours. If Aaaerleaas Were Parsners. Some idea of the way in which an American column would pursue the retreating Boers will be illustrated by the First Brigade, M. V. M., General Thomas R. Mathews, when it goes into camp at South Framingham next month, says the Boston Journal. The proposition is the advance a pursuing force upon a treating enemy, with advance attack, rear guard and defense. of re- and The covering force of the retreat will com prise cavalry, artillery and a portion of a regiment of infantry. The rest of the brigade will make up the at tacking column. It is the intention of General Mathews to divide his ar tillery battalion and his cavalry be tween the attack and defense. He has made requisition for shelters, rubber blankets and campaign outfit which will be issued to the troops in season for camp. Buzzacots will also be taken along, and rations cooked on the march, and the attacking column going into night bivouac before the in vestment of Perkins Hill, upon which the enemy is retreating, and where h will make a stand. From Perkins Hill the maneuvers will be continued to "Nobscot Hill," the entire terrain em bracing about five square miles of di versified country. A request has gone in for 50 rounds of ammunition per man, which It is hoped to obtain. The idea is to make as excellent a presen tation of grand tactics as it is possible to obtain, while at the same time hav ing due regard for 'the safety of the soldier and his health. For this rea son South Framlngton is chosen as the base, it affording all the benefit of the home camp in event of bad and stormy weather. It is anticipated that the forward movement to Perkins Hill will occupy two days, wilh real istic resistance and battle formations. flajiV movements, etc., and that two days more will be passed in the man euvers to "Nobscot Hill." getting the men back to camp in season for the review and closing ceremonials. Cap tain George M. Thompson, brigade en gineer, is at work upon a topographic al survey and plan of the entire region to be fought over, bine prints of which will be ready for camp. With sack veteran commanders as Colonel Clark of El Caney, Colonel Darling of Gnan Ica and Porto Rico, and Major Du chesney, who saw four years of active field operations in '61 to '65, there ought to be a very Interesting exe cution of the brigade commander's plans. The Enaerjreaey Batipa In the account given' by Capt Hal dane and Lieut Le Mesurier of their escape from Pretoria, some readers may have noticed that for two days they lived on an "emergency ration," which they happened to have with them. It was the only thing that was not spoiled by water, and they found it "most excellent and nourishing stuff." This ration is a very ingeni ous and fascinating multum in parvo. It consists of four ounces of "cocoa paste" and four ounces of "pemml can." The paste Is a mixture of cocoa-honey and Iceland moss; the pem mican Is dried beef and fat ground in to a fine powder. It is made in Aus tralia, and comes over in tin-lined casks. Both of these articles are high ly palatable, whether eaten dry or warmed up and mixed with water. The quantum of each that goes to make a ration is packed In a small oval tin open at one end; the two open ends are put together strip of tin is wound round them at the joint and soldered down, thus binding them together and forming one hermetically sealed case, in shape like a short fat pocket flask and containing half a pound of con centrated nourishment far more pala table than anything else of the kind yet invented. It is opened in a mo ment by tearing off the band of tin, which has a handle at the end. Ev ery ration bears the date of filling stamped on the metal, and the follow ing printed instructions: Emergency ration (field service). This ration is not to be opened except by order of an officer or in extremity. It is to be produced at inspections. The ration is calculated to maintain strength for 36 hours, if eaten in small quantities at a time. Further instructions for use arc contained inside. Perhaps the possession of this little case explains how the detachment captured at Red dersburg was able to hold out so pluckily "without food" until their ammunition was exhausted. Its value in similar situations is obvious. Lon don Times. Big Birds Cham With Soldiers. The English soldiers have mistaken troops of ostriches for bands of Boers and bands of Boers for ostriches. In some cases the ostriches have made friends with the soldiers. A correspon dent who was with Gen. Methuen at the Modder river says: "While I rang ed the valley or plain with my glasses something slipped and tumbled heavily and tumbled over the loose stones be hind me. I turned, thinking to dodge or help a stumbling man, and found myself staring into the great brown eyes of an ostrich six feet tall, and with legs as thick as and longer than my own. 'He came up here some days ago,' said the soldier, 'and he always stays here now. We feed him and fool with him and he seems very happy.' The ostrich stalked past me and took a position between the major and the captain, where, after appearing to ob serve that they were very busy scan ning the landscape, he, too, stared at the plain and remained erect and watchful, the highest type of a sentry in appearance. He marred this fine effect for Just a moment "by seizing and swallowing a box of safety matches. After that he continued his sentry duty with satisfaction In his eyes. The ostrich is a valuable sub stitute for a watch dog, and he eats with relish things that would poison the strongest goat that ever lived. The Persian Brigade of Cossacks. The Neue Freie Presse of Vienna gives, on the authority of what it de scribes as Russian official data, some particulars concerning the Persian bri gade of Cossacks. It recalls the cir cumstance that in 1896, after the mur der of the late Shah, order wasmaln- tained at Teheran by the intervention of the Cossack brigade, which also prevented all resistance to the succes sion of his son Muzaffer-ed-Din. At that time the brigade consisted only of a cavalry division mustering 500 men, commanded by a Russian colonel, and of a mounted battery presented by the Czar Alexander III. In the year, 1899, the strength of the brigade was trebled. At present it numbers 200 officers and 1,500 men, infantry, be sides cavalry and mounted artillery. Its organization is completely inde pendent and is under the control of Russian instructing officers, who are at the orders of the Russian Legation at Teheran. Their chief is a colonel of the Russian general staff, holding the rank of a Persian field marshal. The annual cost of the brigade is 500, 000 rubles. It receives with great reg ularity its monthly pay, which is the more worthy of note as that of the other Persian troops is always In ar rear. New York Post Mourned aa Dead, Beraras. There is a surprised and happy mother in Washington this week, says a correspondent: Harry Neal, son of Mrs. Minnie Judson, fought in the Philippines as a sailor In the Asiatic squadron -when Dewey took Manila bay. No letter had come for more than a year, and the mother mourned him as dead. One of the unidentified dead brought from Manila and burled in Arlington, nearly a year ago, she recognized from the description as her son. A few days ago Neal returned to this city. He is hale and hearty. He will not remain here long, as he intends to enBst for another three years' term. Death of One of the Faatoaa See. General Silas M. Bailey, one of the fa mous old guard of 306 which stood by General Grant in the convention of 1880, died at Uniontown, Pa., recently, aged 64 years, of brain trouble, which resulted from a bullet wound received during the war. After the war Pres ident Johnson brevetted him major general' of volunteers for gallant ser vice. He was elected state treasurer by the Republicans of Pennsylvania in 1881. Would Lack Sease C "I'm deuced glad " Thus cau tiously observed an English oflcer as he withdrew his men under cover of night from an untenable kopje, "that these confounded Boers haven't got a territory that the sun never sets on." Horses for Seep. Doting the siege of Ladysmlta 4,000 horses of 'the cavalry brigade were converted into soup er sausages In a single-month. te Market The cost per pound of growing ani fattening a hog for market increases with the size and age of the animal. It costs much leas to raise two hogs weighing 300 pounds each than to grow one weighing 600 pounds, and even 500 pounds is too heavy to be profitable under ordinary circum stances. A hog must consume a cer tain amount of food to maintain his present weight, and for that food the owner receives no returns. Whatever the hog can be induced to eat in ex cess of the amount required for main tenance goes to the production of growth, and it is from this excess that all gains and profits are made. These facts make it to the interest of the feeder to induce his hogs to eat all they can digest and to secure gains as rapidly as possible. A pig which Is made to weigh 200 pounds at six months or 300 pounds at a year old is always profitable, while if it takc3 two years to make 300 pounds the last 100 pounds will usually be made at a loss. As the rate of growth, both in proportion to the size of the animal and to the amount of food given, de creases as the hog becomes larger, there must come a time when a pound of incred.se will cost more than it will bring on the market, and it is a nice point with the feeder to decide when that time will come and to market his hogs before it is reached. Ordinarily, his time will come when the hog weishs from 250 to 300 pounds, but may be reached either above or below those weights. A hog one year old and weighing 300 pounds in November may still make a profitable gain if he has the gleaning of a recently harvested corn field with an abundance of cowpeas, the leavings of a sweet potato neht. or any similar food which would other wise be wasted, but if none of these feeds are available, and all the food consumed must be purchased, it will be more profitable to sell at once, even if the weight is not more than 200 pounds. Animal Food In Poultry Feeding. Report of the New York Agriculturil Station at Geneva: It was found in a number of feeding experiments with chicks, ducklings and laying hens that rations containing animal food gave almost invariably better results than did those consisting entirely or very largely of vegetable food. For conven ience "animal meal" was made the principal animal food. Many gram foods were used; but when rations were so arranged that the proportion of protein was alike for two rations the one with the animal food contained generally more fat and always a much larger percentage of mineral matter. The first series of experiments did not definitely indicate the cause for the superiority of the one ration. It appeared that the more favorable re sults when animal food was fed might be due either to the more efficient forms of the nitrogen compounds or with the rapidly growing young birds and the laying hens to the much larger proportion of ash consisting largely of phosphates. Subsequent experiments have shown that while ducklings require a certain amount of animal food, hens and chicks are able to do well on wholly vegetable food, supplemented by ash rich in phosphates. In these experi ments, rations of vegetable food, to which bone ash was added to make up the assumed deficiency of ash, in grow ing chicks gave identical results with those from rations containing animal food. With laying hens the rations were equally efficient for most of the time, but good results were not sus tained quite so long by the vegetable food ration. The addition of bone ash did not, however, enable ducklings to make as good use of a ration wholly of vegetable foods; such a ration being decidedly less efficient than one con taining animal food. Daager la Second Growth KaBr Cora. Bulletin 93, Kansas Agricultural Col lege: If Kafir corn is cut early a sec ond growth starts up. Usually stock can eat this second growth with safety, but deaths are frequent Most of these deaths can be explained by the cattle bloating, but sometimes deaths occur :vhere it seems that the green Kafir orn acts as an acute poison. Cases are aported where animals have broken ato a field of Kafir corn while being driven along an adjoining road and se curing only a mouthful or two of the green second growth, have been im mediately attacked with symptoms of acute poisoning, and have died in an hour or two. Cattle have been herded in a large field In which was a small patch of second-growth Kafir corn; an imals have strayed on the Kafir-corn while being driven by the herdsman and secured only a bite or two and have been attacked and died within an hour. Neither veterinarians, chemists nor feeders have been able to explain the cause of such deaths. They are rare, but occur often enough to make it unsafe to allow cattle to pasture green second-growth Kafir corn. Af ter this second growth has been cured or killed by frost the danger seems to be over. We have never heard of a case where second-growth Kafir corn fodder has Injured stock. Lectures on Forestry. A plan has been arranged by which the section of tree planting of the division of for estry will combine lecturing with its practical field work for the purpose of When an official of .this section of the division is called to any portion of the United States where planting is espe cially desirable, he will arrange for a series of meetings of land owners, to interesting the public in the subject whom he will explain the 'objects of the division and the free assistance of fered to those desirous of making a trial of planting. Reports the country over seem to indicate that we are to have an excep tionally large peach crop. There have been killing frosts in some locations, and in those localities the peaches have been damaged, but the area so devastated Is not comparatively large. From the eastern part of the country come reports that the peach growers axe seeking to form a combination to prevent the peach market being de moralized .by a too abundant crop. Maryland is said to be the center of this agitation. Recognition of Women.
