Like the young man in springtime,
whose fancy "lightly turns to thougots
of love," when summertime comes we
all turn our thoughts to the consider
ation of the important question of
where we shall go for rest, recreation
and health.
There are all kinds of health and
pleasure resorts throughout this broad
. land of ours, some of them, unfortu
nately, any thing but what their names
imply, and apparently operated for no
other purpose than to relieve the in
valid and pleasure seeker, financial
. ly.P So much so is this the case that
it is indeed gratifying to the one seek
ing rest Jand recuperation from the
cares of the. business and social world,
. as well as the pain racked invalid,
who is -fortunate enough to discover a
place where to 'use a popular expres
sion, he "gets his money's worth."
One of the most interesting, pictur
esque and delightful places in this
country is unquestionably the resort
known as the Hagno Mud and Litbla
Water Cure, located at Indiana Mine
ral Springs, Indiana. Here come the
overworked business man, the worn
out devotee of society and the profes
sional man on the verge of nervous
prostration, as well as the sufferer
from rheumatism, kidney and skin
diseases for which the baths are es
pecially beneficial. The place is also
largely patroniied by those who only
seek pleasure and recreation, its loca
tion making it particularly adapted for
tbis purpose. There are many roman
tic and' beautiful spots and places of
interest In the vicinity and it would
be hard to find a section of country
containing so many beautiful drives.
The country is very hilly, but the
roads are all graveled and kept in
good condition. This is one of the
things that makes the place especially
attractive to those afflicted with rheu
matism, as driving is about the only
outdoor pleasure one .crippled with
rheumatism can indulge in. Some of
"the cures effected are really marvel
ous and many who have gone to tha
Magno Mud Cure as a last resort have
returned home within a few weeks
filled with renewed health and
strength.
The accommodations, service, table
and attendance is all that can be de
sired and the rates very reasonable
indeed. The Springs is under tbe able
management of Major H. L. Kramer
and a postal card inquiry addressed
to him will bring complete detailed
information as well as a copy of the
"Mudlavia Magazine," a unique and
interesting publication.

A Salute Wasted.
The flag-ship Monongahela was an
chored off the navy-yard at Pensacola
Bay In 186-, and Admiral Farragut
who was then in command was on
board. He had been very busy the
week before paying official calls on the
mainland, and among those who had
entertained him was General Canby.
When, therefore, word was received
that the general would visit the ship
the next day, the admiral was deter
mined to have everything ready to re
ceive him in a style becoming his
rank. The old boat was scrubbed and
holystoned from stem to stern, the
bright work was given an extra rub,
and things generally were put into the
best of order. Captain Heywood, now
brigadier-general commandant of the
marine corps, had a special inspection
of his company of marines, and not a
spot of rust or a dull helmet spike
escaped his notice. When night closed
in, darkness settled down over a very
clean ship and a very tired ship's
company. Bright and early the next
morning the. admiral's launch was
sent off to bring the general aboard.
At the last moment it was discovered
that there was no fruit for luncheon,
and Pompey, the admiral's cook, was
sent in the dingy to get some. Pom
pey was a character in his way, and
had been with the admiral for many
years. He was very proud of what he
called his military bearing, and wore
his beard carefully trimmed to a point
His hair and beard were nearly white,
and although he was sixty years old.
he ruled the other negroes with a rod
of iron. By ten o'clock every one was
standing by In full dress, when the
quartermaster came aft and reported
that the admiral's launch was return
ing. The officers of the deck walked
to the rail and took a squint at the
boat through his glasses. A man clad
in a blue uniform was seated in the
admiral's cane chair in the stern, but
as the gunwale struck him just below
the shoulder and the awning hid his
head, the officer of the deck was not
certain that it was General Canby
until, as the wind lifted the edge 01
the awning, he caught a glimpse of a
gray beard. Word was passed that the
general was coming off. The crew
were beat to quarters, the marine
guard paraded, and the gun squad, de
tailed to fire the salute, took their
stations. Everything was in readiness,
and the admiral and his staff stood
at the head o.f the gangway to receive
the guest A hush of expectancy set
tled over the ship. The boat drew
nearer. Just as the launch scraped
alongside, boom! boom! ! came the sa
lute from the guns. "Present arms!"
came the command to the guard, and
at a sign from the flag officer the band
struck up "Hail to the Chief." Amid
all this military pomp and splendor
the occupant of the launch was slowly
clambering out feet foremost, and just
as the last gun was fired he stood
erect at the top of the gangway. Merci
ful heavens! It was Pompey, with
a bag of fruit in each hand! Confu
sion! The honors intended for a gen
eral had been rendered a negro cook!
As the situation dawned on the men,
even discipline could not check a gen
eral shout of laughter. The old ad
miral himself laughed until he could
laugh no more. It seemed that in some
way the dingy had gone off and left
the old negro, and that he had man
aged to convince the coxswain that
"Marse Farragut was jes' bound to
have dat fruit befo' the general came."
Pompey wanted to land at the port
gangway, but the coxswain Insisted
that the admiral's launch never went
to the portside, and that the old man
would have to land on the starboard
side, aft Had the awning been a lit
tle higher.the mistake in identifica
tion would not have occurred. As
things were, no one could be blamed,
and the affair was treated as a joke,
while Pompey was nicknamed the
"General." When an hour later. Gen
eral Canby did come off. he was re
ceived with all due ceremony, and on
being told the story. laughed till the
tears rolled down his cheeks, and de
manded to see the man who had stolen
his salute. Youths' Companion.

Pea-Pleti
f a Battle.
What is a modern battle how doss
it look and sound? Really, the field
of operations is so extensive and the
range of modem guns is so great that
battle conditions have altered til
there is no longer any general "clash
of battle," or even any possibility of
grasping or viewing an engagement
from any single standpoint Inhere is
no great resounding noise in war now
adays. Tou hear one of oar big aims
loosed three miles over on the right
and another one two miles on the left
If you are near one it makes a tre
mendous noise, yet I have not heard
one explosion as loud as a good, strong
clap of thunder. Tou hear the guns
of the enemy cough far in front of
you, and their shells burst within your
lines, with a nearer, louder sound
but not a really great or deafening
noise, by any means. Our guns cre
ate almost no smoke, though our 1yd-
dite shells throw np clouds of dost
and smoke where they fall,' miles
away. Because the Boers are using
old-fashioned powder in their cannons
there is a- small white cloud wherever
one is fired and a spurt of red sand
where their shells dig into the veldt
The smoke of war, therefore, and the
so-called "roar of battle" are both
alike occasional, scattered, inconsid
erable. The rifle firing has been the
principal feature of our battles. It
sounds, as I wrote once before, like the
frying of fat or like the crackling and
snapping of green wood in a bonfire.
If you are within two miles of the
front you are apt to be under fire,
and then you hear the music of the
bullets. Their song is like the magni
fied note of a mosquito "Zzss"
they go over your head; "x z s p"
they finish as they bury themselves in
the ground. This is a sound only to
be heard when the bullets are very
close. Tou kick up your heels and
ran a hundred, or even fifty yards, and
you hear nothing but the general
crackle of riflefire In and before the
trenches. The "Putt-putt" (or Vick-ers-Nordenfeldt)
gun is able to inter
est you at a distance of three miles. Its
explosions are best described by the
nickname given to the gun by one
regiment "The blooming door-knocker."
Its bullets or shells are as big as
the bowl of a large briar-root pipe, and.
they tear and slit the air with a ter
rible sound, exploding when they
strike. The firing of the gun was
heard all over the largest of the bat
tlefields, and the explosions of the
shells sound a long way, because they
are apt to take place on the quiet outer
edge of the field. The whizz that even
these missiles make in flying, however,
is like the whispered answers of a
maid in love only to be heard by the
favored individual who is especially
addressed. London Malt
Baage of Field Oaae.
Reviewing the work of the field
guns in South Africa, the Engineer
says: "The more we test it the more
satisfied we become that little real
effect is produced by a field gun at
ranges over 6,000 yards. It Is Indeed
conceivable that if we could Ignore
moral effect it might pay to draw the
enemy's fire at long ranges and thus
waste ammunition previous to a fierce
attack at real fighting ranges. Expe
rience, we believe, however, teaches
that this cannot be done without se
rious moral loss. The impression is,
produced that our guns are inferior to
those of the enemy; that they can
fire on us when we cannot reply and
confidence in our own fire is destroyed.
Confidence is, after all, the principal
thing. Marmont used to say that a
battle was won not by the number of
men killed, but by the number of men
frightened, and it has been laid down
that some troops are stopped by a loss
of 10 per cent, some 20 and all by
about 30 per cent" There are excep
tions to this rule, as experience shows.

- Coaata d from Farmers Review Btea
earafhle Report of Wiacenata Rouad-ws-Iastltate.)
N. . Becker spoke on tile drainage,
la part he said:
The changes la the soil caused by
draining are manifold. Plants are aot
so easily killed by severe frosts in
winter, because the ground is left more
dry and porous. It allows cultivation
earlier in the spring, and all through
the year after heavy rains. It causes
the soil to sooner obtain a certain
warmth in such a degree that on simi
lar kinds of soil a location from two
to three hundred miles southward
would not be better. It keeps the soil
more porous and mellow, because it
will sever be fully saturated with
water, which would cause it to bake
like a brick if very dry weather fol
lows heavy rains.
It gives more, effect to manure and
mereiore insures better crops, and a
greater variety of plants and cereals
may be raised on so drained lands.
On my own farm the first drain was
laid In 1887, and many more since that
time. The first ones were laid, of
course, where we thought they would
be most beneficial. Every year ver
since they have proved to be- so.
Where in wet seasons nothing would
grow but weeds, the very best crop3
have been raised ever since.
On most every farm there are de
pressions and little vales, where in the
first days of seeding time in the spring
the ground is too wet; after they are
drained they are much drier in the
spring than those parts that lie much
higher. Marshland, with a layer of
peat to a depth of three feet or more
should not be drained. It the water
is tapped off from such ground, hard
ly anything but weeds and a poor
crop of grass will grow. Keep all the
water In such land but the surface
should not be covered by water for
s big crop of even poor marsh hay is
more valuable than a small crop of
hay of still poorer quality.
Land with a subsoil of gravel re
quires no draining, but I have seen
sandy land drained to good advantage.
In clay soil, black mack and such,
draining proves most beneficial. In
the eastern part of the county I live
in (Ozaukee) the subsoil Is red clay,
which is almost imperyoius to water.
It finds no way out and therefore'? the
ground at times Is fully saturated with
water, and On such soil draining
proves to be of great importance asd
value.

A report from San Jose says that ac
cording to the best figures' obtainable,
California produced last year 110.000,

are engaged in the fruit business esti
mate that the state will produce this
year 125,000.000 lbs. There are 7.000.

dry regions. The plants form a soft
sod, covered by two or three inches
of soft cushion-like foliage. The plant
spreads by runners or prostrate stems,
which creep along the ground, rooting
at intervals. The seeds are produced
in little hard clusters near the ground
among the leaves. The plant grows
readily from the seed. It cures natur

that at an earlier period buffalo grass
extended much farther east than at

all the grasses except this and grama

Deeea't Batoe Taloo of Steera,
The hardest fight made against the
Grout bill ta. congress was made by
the packing houses In the name of the
cattle raisers ot the United States.
They insisted that the forbidding of
the coloring of oleomargarine to re
semble butter would kill, the business
and thereby destroy a market for beef
fat which would cause a depreciation
of from S2 to 34 per head on cattle
marketed in this country. These oleo
margarine people never quoted statis
tics or other authorities to prove this.
They simply asserted it and let it go
at that Now let us look into this
matter. According to the report of
the Agricultural Department of the
United States there were slaughtered
at forty-five points under government
Inspection 4,600,000 head of ' cattle
during.1899. Enough were slaughtered
at outside uninspected points to bring
the total up to 5.000,000 head as a low
sstimate. The statement of Secretary
Gage of the treasury department shows
that there were used in the oleomar
garine produced "In this country last
year 24,491,769 pounds oleo oil, which
Is made from beef fat This means a
fraction less than five pounds of fat
from each, animal, or to be specific,
4.99 pounds. At its value the past year
this fat would be worth 9 cents per
pound, or 45 cents. As tallow it Is
worth 6 cents per pound, or 30 cents.
Sell the fat for soap (for which there
is always unlimited demand) instead
of for bogus butter, and it would only
mean a difference of 15 cents a head
for steers so small an amount as not
to be appreciable, when it Is consid
ered that it costs 1 or 2 cents a pound
to produce the qleo oil which does not
go to the farmer. This country last
year produced 166,000,000 pounds of
oleo oil, of which 142.000,000 were ex
ported. If the oleomargarine business
were dead in this country the export
trade would easily take the entire
amount produced. It will be seen,
therefore, that the manufacture ol
oleomargarine in this country Is of nc
practical value whatever to the live
stock interests.

class fruit the Canadian buyers do not
find a profit in the transaction, and are
not likely to again seek the Americas
producer.
Like many other fruits, the Kleffer
pear has its fast friends and its un
compromising enemies. The conflicts
over it remind one of those that have
taken place over the Ben Davis apple.
But the Kleffer is a very valuable pear
for several reasons. It Is good In
quality when It Is rightly handled;
that to, allowed to properly ripen. 11
to a deceptive fruit and looks ripe be
fore it has attained that point in its
existence. It must be allowed to lie
for some time after it is picked, some
times for weeks, before, its flavor to
developed. Then it becomes a good
fruit for all purposes.

The new Fruit Growers' Association
of California is making an attempt to
do' away with some of the obstacles
that have always been in the path of
the fruit producers. About ef per cent
of the fruit grows in the state to un
der the control of the association. All
the growing, packing and selling are
to be done in the most approved ways.
Members are not to pack or crate their
fralt The mea that do this work are
experts. 11 the association holds to
gether. It will doubtless compel the
other fruit growers in the state to
pack their fruit better, as otherwise
the association would take the entire
eld, at least so far as desirable mar
kets are concerned.

Second I complication Pneumonia.
Caused either by the extension of .the
catarrhal inflammation into the small
bronchial tubes and air cells, causing
catarrhal pneumonia, or by infection
by the form of bacteria, causing
croupous pneumonia. When this com

Farmers' ererywhere are coming tc
understand the great value of red clovei
as a conserver of nitrogen in the soil
In many cases, however, farmers arc
unable to grow clover and after sev
eral attempts to grow It give it up.
In such cases some new crop should
be tried. This is where the value ol
the soy beak aid cow pea comes in. A
man should grow some hind of legume
on his farm, and where red clover can
not be grown, soy beans may be. Even
on poor soil in our middle west soj
beans have" done well. It has this In
its favor that where clover has been
hilled out soy beans may be planted
and a crop raised that will greatly im
prove the soil. But there are othei
leguminous crops that can be tried
The point is that some legume should
be grown.

makers having their curds too dr
early in the season. In order not tc
get curds too dry, they should not be
cooked too' high in the spring (wj
cook lower because we have less fat
In the milk), as the high temperature
used In cooking drives off the mois
ture. Give them time to mature In the
vat. Mature the curd evenly by turn
ing it often; leaving the curd un
turned for a. long time allows the
moisture to settle to the bottom of tb.6
curd; the top of the curd gets dry and
does not cure so fast as the bottom,- in
which the moisture has remained. Io
the spring keep up the temperature,
and do not let the curd get chilled.
