A 'poem entitled Guerrilla written during the Civil War by Dr. John Wil liamsonp Palmer, author of "Stonewall Jackson's Way," has an Interesting his tory. The manuscript was given to a friend shortly after It was written, and the poena found its way Into the newspapers, but Dr. Palmer did not see a copy of. it until recently. He had been looking for the poem ever since the close of the war in conse quence "of not remembering 'it well enough to write It out again. A few months ago the writer of this note came across a volume of Southern war poems, published just after the close of the war for the benefit of widows and orphans of Confederate soldiers and sailors, and copied several of the poems, among which was Guerrilla. TheEe were shown to Dr. Palmer by a mutual friend, to whom he stated that he was the author of Guerrilla. Ralph A. Lyon In Current Literature. Who hither rides so hard? A scout.

Elaborate preparations are being made in Chicago for the entertainment of the Grand Army of the Republic during the closing days of August Michigan avenue, down-town, will be transformed into a court of honor of surpassing beauty. The general scheme of the decorations is to place a triumphal arch at Van Buren street and one at Park Row, connected by Corinthian c -Jumns placed at- regular intervals on both sides of the street, forming a colonnade broken only by the pylons that flank each side of the reviewing stand. The arches will span the entire street at each end of the colonnade; one will be dedicated to the Grand Army and one to the navy. The reviewing stand will be flanked on either side with large four-column pylons decorated on the top with a large American eagle in plaster, rest ing on an illuminated ball. The Pres ident's box and the balustrade guard ing the space reserved for distin guished guests will be decorated with staff in rich design. Electric lamps, strung throughout the trees, will transform Michigan avenue at night into a fairyland. A boat will be sent out into the lake opposite Lake Front Park every night of the encampment, and the water will be a blaze of light for several hours. Set pieces portray the various generals of the civil war. President Lincoln and his cabinet and the heroes of the later struggle will be interspersed throughout the pro gramme to give the old soldiers an op portunity for their heartily enjoyed cheer. The veterans will be made wel come. Special committees will assist in the pleasant duty of making them feel at home. A. Fifer Who Saved a Company. Late in the fall of '63 there might have been seen one evening a small company of Union soldiers, footsore and hungry, wearily pressing on through, a forest in Tennessee, intent upon escaping from a pursuing force of Confederates. Three days previous they had become detached from the main body of troops, and they were now seeking to join the Union forces, camped some forty miles away. A scout had overtaken them the previous night and acquaint ed the commanding officer with the fact that a considerable force of the enemy was hot on their trait Half-famished and nearly worn out, the brave boys in blue had made a heroic effort to quicken their steps, but the ranks were soon broken, many of the men falling farther and farther to the rear. Suddenly, upon the night, the clear notes of a fife floated from a trapper's cabin. The first few bars told the men that the musician was loyal, and the lively air of "Yankee Doodle" awoke the men to new life, as their feet un consciously kept step to the music. At the first sound a happy thought occurred to the lieutenant He called a bait, permitting the stragglers to come up, while he himself, with a hatadful of men, hastened along a .well worn footpath in the direction of the music. Presently they came upon a rude cabin, half-concealed by the thick foliage of the surrounding trees. A lad was making merry before' the open lreplace, and intent upon his playing, did not note the arrival of the soldiers till the officer rapped smartly upon the bolted door with the hilt of his sword. Throwing open the door the boy and his father stood in astonishment facing ike armed strangers, knowing not whether they were friends or foes. In less than three minutes the lieu tgMithad explained the situation, and the boy had offered his services, tho father consenting, glad of heart that lie too might thus assist his country. Down tbe winding path the men hur ried, the old trapper whispering a few last words to his son, the while striv ing to keep back the grjeat lump in his throat that threatened to choke him. It was -nearly ten o'clock when the little column of men, headed by the young filer, moved away, marching to the tune they bad first heard. Little by little the time was quickened till the men were following at a double-quick march. The lieutenant suggested that the men ask from time to time for familiar songs, and from one to an other the musician glided, ever playing at" the lively tempo of the first Toward morning the men noticed that the lifer made an occasional slip. The notes were not so 'clear, though the time never lagged. Later the mu sician made a bad break, and some of the soldiers laughed. The fifer said nothing; he kept on, but the mistakes grew more frequent and noticeable. Morning had begun to break, and presently tbe soldiers saw in the dis tance the white tents of the Union army. The young musician was playing no, trying to play "America" for the tenth time, as they marched Into camp. Far in the rear a body of foot-soldiers had wheeled and retraced their steps, too distant to be success fully pursued. The exhausted men had narrowly escaped. Two of the men carried the ilttle fifer into a tent and bathed his swollen, lips. They then knew why the music; had been so broken the past few hours., Frederick E. Burnham, in Youth's Companion. How Chaffee Coached a Coward. It was at El Caney. Several com panies were detailed to dig trenches and the Spanish sharpshooters were potting at them from treetops and clumps of bushes on the hillsides. Presently the firing became so severe that the men were. ordered to drop their tools and return it About this time General Chaffee came along on. foot looking over the situation. In the bottom of one of the trenches he sa"w a soldier lying flat on his? fSce, while, the man next to him kicked him in the intervals of firing. 'What's te matter with that man?" asked General Chaffee of the speaker. "Is he wounded?" "No, sir," said the; soldier, 'saluting. The prostrate man made no motion. "Sun, then?" asked the General, for there were many cases of collapse from heat under the bitter glare of the Cu ban afternoons. "I don't know, sir," replied the sol dier in embarrassment. All this time the bullets were whis tling around and the soldier had risen from his crouching posture, and was standing at salute. "Don't stand there and expose yoitr self, my man," said General Chaffee, kindly, although he himself had been standing in .full range all the time. Now he walked over to the groveling soldier, took him by the collar and hauled him to a sitting posture. "What do you mean by lying there?" he said sternly. "Get up and fight with your company." "No, I can't." whined the fellow. "Can't," said the General. "Well, you're a fine soldier! What business have you got here? What's the matter with you, anyway?" "I'm afraid; that's what's the matter with me," said the soldier, doggedly, trying to wrest his collar from the grasp of the other and trying in vain, for General Chaffee has muscles of steel. "Beg pardon, sir." said the man's neighbor, saluting again. "I think the kid's been sick, sir." He twisted his captive about to get a good look at him, and his face, which bad grown set and angry, softened at what he saw. "Now, see here," said he kindly. "You can't help being frightened, I suppose. But there isn't nearly so much danger as you think there is. You just pick up your gun and take your position and fight and I'll stand here by you till you get used to it" Shaking like a leaf the boy seized his gun and fired a shot almost straight up in the air. "That's a little high." said his in structor. "Try it lower and take a little more time to aim. There's a Spaniard in that green thicket straight in 'front of you, I think." After three or four shots the young soldier got his nerve, stopped trem bling and began to shoot with some accuracy and judgment "That's better," said General Chaffee, as he moved away. "Stay there and do your best" Grant Derided for Hlaaselfc During the most critical part of the war, when everything looked darkest in the North, especially at Washing ton, Grant's confidence in his ability to bring victory to our arms never wavered for a moment In fact, so thoroughly convinced was he that he rarely consulted others as to his course of conduct He seldom called a council of war, and whan he did he would sit and smoke, listening pa tiently to the opinions expressed, but only on rare occasions voicing his own. After his generals had dis cussed various ways of withdrawing the army in case of disaster, he would adjourn the council, and, handing a paper to each officer, would say: "You will proceed at daylight to execute these orders."

She, too. will have her standing army. The war in South Africa has awakened the colonies. How the fed eration cf the military units will be accomplished Is difficult to say, but that a volunteer movement on a large scale will be started goes without say ing.

(Condensed from Farmers Review Stenographic Report) At the last Wisconsin Round-up In stitute the following discussion took place: Prof. Smith The fact is that there Is no animal odor in milk when it comes from the cow. It is put in by the milker. We have milked cows and set the milk at once, and when it was opened after twenty-four hours there was no odor about it It can set for at least ten days ant still .have no odor. Mr. Goodrich I cannot agree with Prof. Smith in his conclusion that there is no animal odor in milk is its pure state as it comes from the cow. A short time ago I heard another pro fessor talk on this subject He said that there are in the body of every ani mal certain eliminating organs whose work is to eliminate certain gases. 'and that the udder has some of these organs, which eliminate these gases from the body and pass them into the milk. Prot Farrington I think there is a difference between aerated and un aerated milk that we do. not under stand. Q. Does aerating milk improve it for cheese making and butter making? Prof. Farrington Yes, sir. Mr. Noyes Yes, sir. Mr. Goodrich Why doesn't that set tle it, then, that cheese factories and creameries should require patrons to aerate the milk? Q. Does not aerated vmilk give a better test and a more accurate test? - Prof. Farrington Yes, sir; I think that we would get a better test unless the person that makes the test is care ful to thoroughly mix the milk before taking the sample. Q. What is the cause of cream but tering in the process of being made into ice cream? I supply cream to an Ice cream maker in the city, and I have had It butter when it tested 27 per cent fat Prot Farrington There are two things, either of which may cause, it; one is the temperature and the other is the thickness of the cream. Besides that, the cream may be exposed to ex cessive jarring in transportation. Mr. Lomar I have been supplying cream to a restaurant for three years, and I think that the trouble with Mr. Taylor's cream is due to the man that makes the ice cream. The tempera ture of the cream is too high at the time it is put into the freezer, and the freezer was run too fast The beating of the cream produced butter before it got down to the freezing point Poultry Briefs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that last year 106,988,710 pounds of live and dressed poultry were shipped from the 114 counties of Missouri. This sum is an increase over tbe preceding year of 36,907,443 pounds. The total number of dozens of eggs shipped last year was 34,875,040, and the aggregate value received by producers of poultry and eggs was $12,091,048.54. e e It is reported that Canada is send ing large quantities of poultry to the United States. Last year between 8, 000 and 10,000 live geese were shipped to the feeding yards of one poultry man In Massachusetts. There have been seen at Sabrevois. in the prov ince of Quebec, as many as 11,600 live geese and 5.000 live ducks at one time, and it takes 125 bushels of grain a day to feed them. The firm of S. H. Jones, at Sabrevois, has had at one time as many as 25,000 geese and 15,000 ducks. Some American firms make most .of their purchases in the townships of the Province of Quebec, New Bruns wick and Prince Edward Island. Few realize the aggregate value of our poultry Industry. Statistics on this point are of very little value. Fowls are kept not only on the more than 4,000,000 farms of the United States, but also by millions of persons residing in the villages and cities. The beauty of this industry is that the smallest capitalist may invest in it, as 25 cents will buy a live hen. With the increasing population of the coun try poultry meat is certain to take a high place. If the time ever comes when beef, pork and mutton cannot be cheaply produced here, poultry flesh will be In enormous demand. We have formed the meat eating habit and the people will have meat' Our poultry industry is bound to become more im portant year by year. e Probably there was never a time in the history of this country when great er improvement was being made in poultry than at the present time. In tbe West as well as In the East the people are coming to see that im proved breeds pay best The great markets are constant reminders to the thousands of shippers that fowls must be bred to suit the demand. Every pure breed poultry establishment is a center from which go out in all directions pure bred males to Improve and grade up the flocks. The fanciers by constantly advertising for years have induced multitudes to come to their way of thinking. That there Is money in the business is proof that the people are responding to the agi tation for better types of fowls. id far Horaea aad Malea. According to Tennessee dealers the better classes of horses and mules are In great demand and prices have risen 60 per cent within the past year. The Spanish war, the Boer war and the passing of the bicycle have tended, however, to produce the satisfactory results for the horse people. Tennes see roadsters and saddlers of the fancy Kind are readily purchased In New York, while many buyers from the lower 'Southern States have been in Tennessee making purchases. Some" Tennessee horses too have been bought up by British agents for the cavalry service In South Africa. Many geod horses have gone there, the buy ers taking only, such stock as suited the cavalry arm of the service, good individuals, rather small and with plenty of endurance. West Tennessee, It Is said, has been able to furnish Just such horses as these. The ship ments of mules from the Southwest to scenes of war has in a measure created a demand for the scrub stock also, many of which class hare gone into the Delta on the plantations to replace the mules which are not to be had. This has taken the price of even these animals up from 926 and 135 to 140 and 60. Stock men are breeding more than they ha la a number of years In consequence of the nniversal "good time" conditions. The detdt In young mules in the State on account of the war demand la pro ntonejd Tary great and as a result the price to higher than it has been la tf teea years.

Kentucky horse men also being on the lookout for good individuals of this class, and many having come into this state in search of them. Milk rarer. To the Fanners' Review: My ex perience with milk fever has not been very extensive. Some twenty years ago was my first I had a very tne cow at that time known as the Roan Shorthorn. It was in the month of June about 3 o'clock' in the evening she gave birth to a very fine calf, and both seemed to be in excellent condi tion. The next morning about sunrise I went out to look after my fine cow, and she was lying down. When I went to drive her up she made several efforts before getting up on her feet, and I cannot describe her Actions any better than that she staggered and reeled just the same as a man would when badly Intoxicated. She only went a few rods laid down and never got up again. She died about sunset the same day in the greatest agony. This cow was in good flesh, in fact too good, as that is the most likely to take it About six years ago I lost another one with the same disease. Her actions were the same, only she lived about two days instead of one. Since that time I have not lost any. In the first place, I endeavor not to let my best milk cows get too fat. as that is the kind most likely to take the ailment I think, too, that cows are only likely to have milk fever in hot weather. I have found as an almost certain preventative in fever that at least one month before calving put the cow on dry feed, without grain, and- diet at the time of calving and several days afterward, ''and you will be safe in never having milk fever among your cows. The cows giving the greatest flow of milk are the only ones subject to milk fever. A poor milk cow never has it I have no cure for the milk fever, neither do I have any faith In any one else curing it S. C. Judy, Ver milion County, Illinois. . Sheep as Fertility Coai Bulletined of the West Virginia Ex periment station says: A large pro portion of the lambs which are raised in West Virginia for the. production of mutton, are marketed in the fall, and although this is undoubtedly the simplest way of disposing of the sur plus lambs, yet this practice possesses some serious defects, for when animals of any kind are constantly being sold from a farm, with now and then some hay or grain, the fertility of the soil is continually carried away, and unless commercial fertilizers. are employed to supply the deficiency of potash and phosphoric-acid, the productiveness of the land must constantly diminish. On the other hand, if these Iambs can be profitably fattened during the winter, they may be made to consume the clover hay, or other coarse fodder of the farm which has only a small commercial value. Also the farmer is enabled to feed his grain at home In stead of being obliged to draw it sev eral miles to the railroad station. .In addition to the grain which is raised upon the farm, some of the concen trated feeding stuffs, such as cotton seed meal, linseed meal, or wheat bran can generally be used to advantage in the fattening ration, and as each of these materials contains a large quan tity of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash, which is recovered in the ma nure, it is seen that when the policy of feeding the lamb3 during the win ter is intelligently carried out that the land will gradually become richer instead of poorer, because more fer tility will be added by the manure than is carried away by the Iamb crop. A Place for tbe Goat. On a good many of our farms there Is a place for the goat Sheep will eat a large number of weeds and are very serviceable In that regard, but the goat carries the same idea to a far greater length. Sheep are grazers pri marily and browsers incidentally. But goats and browsers by nature. They will live and flourish where even a sheep will grow thin. Kinds of feed that would send the sheep Into the sick list will support the goat and make him fat A writer on goats says that they will pass by cultivated grasses to get at burdocks, mullein and thistles. The bushes that are con stantly springing up on our waste hill sides might be kept down by goats. There is no doubt that a million or so of goats could be distributed among our farms without in, anyway inter fering with the stock now being kept Festering- Cows. To the Farmers' Review: I have a fine pasture of about sixty acres. It borders on a small lake containing good, pure water and having a sandy shore. Thirty acres Is In timothy, the rest is low marsh land which pro duces good pasture in dry time, such as we have had during May and June. After harvest the cows are turned into the grain fields, where they feed until fall. I always yard my cows at night. I think it is better than turning Into the pasture. J. H. Stauffer, Kandiyohi County, Minnesota. The milk inspection laws In the dif ferent states are gradually getting into active operation. It is time. The con ditions in the large cities where there have been no inspection laws are very bad. Even In New York the enforce ment of the laws has been so slack that the milkmen had fallen into the habit of thinking they could do as they pleased. But recently the inspectors renewed their activity and a good many milkmen were caught with badly adulterated milk. It Is encouraging, however, to note that the majority had milk that came up to the standard re quired by the city laws. ' One morning eight inspectors rounded up all the milk that came in over the Erie Rail road. Some of the dealers evidently knew their milk to be adulterated, as they tried to drive away before the Inspectors could stop them. But they Tan into the arms of policemen that had been stationed near by for that purpose. In every case where the men tried to drive away their milk was found to be adulterated, which Is proof that they knew what kind of stuff they were handling. It is reported that as soon as the milkmen got news of the inspection they stopped considerable quantities of milk that had not been brought across from Jersey City, as that was outside of the Jurisdiction of the New York inspectors. It Is be lieved that the adulterations in New York have been worse since the begin ning of the present drouth, the milk men trying to offset short supplies by adding water. The inspections may therefore be expected to be very close from now on, and also New York dty will find Itself decidedly short in Its milk supply. esawaire Bafer dashes at A diver Cromwell's bay clothes have been sold at aactkm in London for $169.

I was thrown to tbe floor, thumped and rushed out to the sidewalk. I had a cut on the head, one on the ear, my lip was cut my jaw thumped and a tooth knocked out, both eyes blackened and my arms are still black and blue where I was seized.

Young women frequently wear belts that were manufactured to go around the necks of dogs. They show thus how slender their waists are, a dog being big enough to clasp them. Phil osophers can dig out no other reason for this fad. In Philadelphia the ou.er day a young woman wore an engraved dog collar belt which she had bor rowed for the time from her father's stiff. The engraving was of a mas tiff's head, and around it ran the words: "I am John Brown's dog. Whose dog are you?"
