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.

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

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

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

Walter Wentworth, 75 years old, aad
for many years a professional contor
tionist, is In New York looking for
somebody to buy his body. He has
long been a wonder to medical men
on account of the wonderful pliability
of his frame, which he has already
sold twice once to Dr. Cowes of De
troit, and later to Dr. Wilder of New
York, receiving in each case $100. Both
these medical men are dead, and now
Wentworth is looking for a third speculator.
Everyone thinks he works for a man
who is mighty unappreciative.

DON'T YOU HEAR BABY CRY?
Do you forget that summer's coming with
all its dangers to the little ones all troubles
bred in the bowels.
The summer's heat kills babies and little
children because their little insides are not in
good, clean, strong condition.
Winter has filled the system with Me.
Belching, vomiting up of sour food, rash,
flushed skin, colic, restlessness, diarrhoea or
constipation, all testify that the bowels are out
of order.
If you want the little ones to face the coming dangers with
out anxious fear for their lives, see that the baby's bowels are
gently, soothingly, but positively cleaned oat in the spring time,
said made strong and healthy before hot tveather sets in.
The only safe laxative for children, pleasant to take (they
ask for more) is CASCARETS. Nursing mothers make their
milk mildly purgative for the baby by eating a CASCARET
now and then. Mama eats a Ciiooucnj, caoy geis ine
10c box of CASCARETS to-day and you will find that, as we
little and big childrens insides are

Miss Susan Wymar. teacher In the

the following letter to Dr. Hartman re
garding Pe-ru-na. She says: "Only
those who have suffered as I have, can
know what a blessing it is to be able
to And relief In Fe-ru-na. This has
been my experience. A friend in need
is a friend indeed, and every bottle
of Pe-ru-na I ever bought proved a
good friend to me." Susan Wymar.
Mrs. Margaretha Dauben. 1214 North
Superior St.. Racine City, Wis., writes:
"I feel so well and good and happy
now that pen cannot describe it. Pe-ru-na
is everything to inc. I have
taken several bottles of Pe-ru-na for
female complaint. I am in the change
of life and It does me good." Pe-ru-na
has no equal in all of the irregulari

en caused by pelvic catarrh.
