You .have heard of Tommy Atkins
In his uniform of red.
With his rakish little skull cap
Tilted sideways "on bis head.
But his transatlantic 'cousin.
Brave and sturdy, tried and true,
Is the U. S. regular soldier,
Billy Blue.
It may be before enlisting
That he had another name.
But the Maxim, is his brother.
He was born in breathe its flame;
And his blood begins, to tingle
When he hears the loud tatoo
Of the drum he loved to follow
Billy Blue.., , .
He may be a trifle cranky
In the trenches wet or dry.
But he's never known to grumble
When it comes his, turn to. die. .
He is always up and ready
, When there's work for him to do.
And ho never shirks bis duty,
Billy Blue.
There is Jack to man the mizzen,
There is Jimmy Legs below,
But it's Billy, soldier Billy.
On the shore who meets the foe.
Whether clad in ragged khaki
Or a blouse and buttons new.
Still he guards the starry banner,
Billy Blue.
When the sword is sheathed forever
And the gun is in the rack, .
And the endless ranks go marching
To the last great bivouac,
If the angel picket stops them.
And should ask them "Who are you?"
Every man of them will answer,

Profanity Amonjr Soldier.
A grave charge that can be laid at
the door of military life is the use of
profanity among soldiers, writes Wil
liam T. Ellis to the Wellspring. The
wide prevalence of the profane use of
the name of the Deity in the army is
well known. Not all soldiers swear,
of course, but one would think so were
he to visit an encampment, for as he
moves about the company streets of
the average regiment, he finds that
this sin, dulling as it does the spirit's
fine edge of reverence, is shockingly
common. This is one of the sore
trials of the Christian in camp. His
ears are assailed on every side by a
constant stream of vile language. I
recall one day that I was in the tent
of a Minnesota boy, who lay on the
ground, ill. He was cheerful and had
no complaint to make as to the other
hardships of a soldier life. "This is
a hard thing to bear, though," he said,
uplifting his hand and pausing rather
dramatically, in an attitude of atten
tion. I listened with him. The flaps
of his tent were upon all sides, and
from every direction could be heard
the voices of men in conversation
using words of coarseness and profan
ity, such as could not but be a trial
to any Christian spirjt There was no
special occasion for this; it was the
ordinary language of camp. Much of
the swearing among soldiers is
thoughtless, of course. Nevertheless,
it is a deeply rooted and widely preva
lent habit which cannot easily be
dropped wuen the suit of blue is laid
aside.
Nothing can be said here of the li
centiousness of life in a military
camp. It is unspeakable and appall
ing. Whosoever is at all acquainted
with soldier life needs not to be told
that this is another blighting evil di
rectly resulting from service in the
army.
There is a saying current in the
regular army that after one enlistment
a soldier is likely to enlist again.
After two enlistments he is pretty
sure to take a third. After the third
enlistment he Is In the army for life.
The reason is that army life unfits
a man for anything else. It is most
difficult for a man who has spent any
considerable time in the army to re
turn to civil life and take up an or
dinary employment He has lost the
power of application and of initiative,
as well as the spirit for steady em
ployment eight hours a day. Of ne
cessity there is much Idleness in the
army, and when this is continued for
years it generally disqualifies one for
more active life.
None of these points need to be en
larged upon to make apparent the
great truth that one chief objection to
war is its blighting effect upon the
life of the soldier himself. For the
sake of the young men, for the sake
of the purity of our "nation, for the
sake of the homes to which a young
soldier's purity Is the dearest treasure
of earth, we should persistently and
aggressively wage, war against the
modern military spirit
compliment to his valor or skill as a
general. But he was touched by the
compliment which the' two little girls
of the mountain paid him: "We ain't

Youth's Companion.
Fevgfat with 'Gnat.
An old resident of Wood county,
Wisconsin, claims to be the only liv
ing man who ever had a rough and
tumble fight with Ulysses S. Grant
His name is' Dana Razin. and he lives
on a farm in the town of Rudolph. It
is said that forty years ago a contro
versy arose between the two men,
which, by mutual consent, was settled
on the banks of the Mississippi near
Galena, III. In the summer of 1869
Dan Razin, guiding his raft of lumber
into the mouth of the Fever river;
leading to Galena, encountered Grant
in a' flatboat. The channel being a
narrow one, a dispute arose. After
exchanging epithets, it was decided to
have it out on the bank, whither they
repaired, accompanied by several men
to see the sport and make certain of
fab: play.
Razin was taller and weighed less
than his stocky "antagonist He was
descended from hardy Irish stock, in
his 30th year, and a clever man in a
wrestling match. Selecting a level
green spot the men opened the battle.
At one stage it looked as if Razin
would be pounded into insensibility,
and then Grant would be forced un
derneath to receive his share of pun
ishment For an hour the contest
raged fast and furious until both men
were forced to desist from sheer ex
haustion. They shook hands over the
result and were good friends from that
time forward.
Today Razin is three score and t ten
years of age, possessed of all his fac
ulties and going about his farm duties
with the suppleness of a man one-half
his years. He is fond of story-telling,
and of his long list there are none he
takes more pleasure in relatinig than
his fight with the great American gen
eral. U. S. Grant

Tit Swift Viper.
The new torpedo destroyer Viper of
the British navy is just now the ma
rine wonder of the world. The Viper
is 210 feet long. 21 feet wide, and has
7 feet draft In a recent trial at New
castle it steamed over a measured mile
at the rate of 43 miles an hour, or 37
knots, as officially recorded. No other
power in the world has a flyer of this
sort France and the United States
have been content with 30 knots, Ger
many and Russia with boats capable
of making 28 and 29 knots respective
ly, while little Japan has one which
is expected to make 33 knots. The
Viper, flying through the water at a
rate above the average of railroad
speed, would be a terror indeed. A
half dozen such Vipers tearing along
at a speed of nearly a mile a minute
would be ugly customers for any fleet
to deal with. The torpedo boat lost
some of its reputation at Santiago,
but a torpedo boat in the hands of
Spain, and one like the Viper, well
handled and armed, are two different
things. It may yet prove, a formidable
fighting machine, and when reinforced
with the submarine torpedo terror
prove an auxiliary of the highest
fighting power.

many happy responses from prominent

these -invitations had been forwarded.
It was with considerable regret, how

be unable to attend. General Black
received a personal reply from Gener

replying to Commander-in-Chief

wrote that the great pleasure he ex

it was his good fortune to be present
at the national encampments, in
creased his regret that he will be un
able to. again meet the brave remnants
of the Union army at their gathering
in Chicago. Engagements, however,
of the most .peremptory nature forbade
his acceptance. Another letter, bear

Few defeated generals have been so
revered as was Robert E. Lee.. Every
southern man and woman admired
him. The author of "A Girl's Life In
Virginia" tells a little story that shows
how much he was loved' by children.
A year after the surrender General
Lee journeyed across the mountains
on his old war-horse, "Traveler," to
pay a visit, to the author's mother. On
the night of his arrival he said:
"Today an incident occurred which
gratified me more than anything that
has happened for a long time. As I
was riding over the desolate mountain
region, I was surprised to find, on a
sudden turn in the road, two little
girls playing on a large rock. They
were poorly .clad, and after looking at
me a moment began to run away.
" 'Children, said I, 'don't run away!
If you knew who. I am you wouldn't
run away from me - -
" 'We do knovr you they answered.
" 'You never saw me before I. said,
'for I never passed along here -
" 'But we know you said the chil
dren. "We've got your picture in our
house. You're General Lee! We ain't
dressed clean enough to see you anal
they scampered off to a hut on the
mountainside."
Then the general told of another
adventure that he had had the same
any. While" riding through thick
woods, he met a man who, recognizing
him, stopped, and throwing up his hat
In the air, exclaimed: "General,
please let me cheer you!" and then he
hurrahed as loudly as he could;
General Lee was too great a man to
ha excited by ordinary applause. On
the contrary, he was annoyed by a
ItawlMerlag- Sagceatieaa.
Gen. A. W. Greely, chief signal of
ficer, has received so many letters,
containing suggestions for devices to
be used in the war against China that
he is bewildered. They present count
less ideas ranging from a cipher code
to a scheme for destroying the com
bined forces of the Boxers at a sin
gle blow. The cipher code came from
a western man who declares that "it
baffles skill to unravel this code' To
this statement Gen. Greely agrees
most heartily. The letter explains
that the code consists of a system of
numbers which are to be spoken. For
instance, "137 plus 53 minus 8," would
mean "attack on the right flank."

(Condensed .from Fanners Review Steno
graphic Report of Illinois Stat Horti
cultural Convention
I desire to make a statement here
which I would be glad to hear dis
cussed. It m based on several years'
careful observation on my own part
and on Information from growers and
apple dealers. The Illinois Ben-Davis
apple intended for Gold Storage should
be In the storage house not later than
Oct 16th. A week earlier is fre
quently better.
I grant that weather conditions or
dense foliage or peculiarities in soil
may create exceptions to this rule, but
I believe the grower who pursues this
course for a period of years will ob
tain the best results.
Before picking is commenced all
dropped apples under the trees should
ba taken off the ground. Never place
a dropped apple in a barrel for Cold
Storage. It is bruised even -if you
cannot see it
" The size of the fruit to be picked
should not be less than 2 inches in
diameter. Smaller apples and any that
may be imperfect should be left on
the tree and shaken down later for the
evaporator or cider press. It is best
not to burden the picked fruit with a
lot of Imperfect apples which must be
rejected by the packers.
Each individual apple should be
handled carefully and the baskets
should be carefully emptied. Too
much importance cannot be given to
this part of the work and young men
should be made to realize its impor
tance to you.
If the picking and packing can be
carried on at the same time it is high
ly desirable. If, for any reason, this
cannot be done have the apples taken
to the packing-house as fast as picked.
Get them "under cover. It is unques
tionably the very worst practice to
pile them on the ground in the orch
ard. They may gain a little color,
but they are frequently subjected to a
hot sun during the day and to cold
nights. Sometimes it rains and time
must be allowed them to dry before
packing in the barrel. And sometimes
it snows. It did this year. At least
it snowed In Champaign and- Savoy.
With the packers should be a care
ful inspector. Get a cold .storage man
if yon can find one.
Double face the barrels, but do not
face them too "strong." Let the face
be an indication of what is underneath
both as to size, color and general
character. Shake them down as the
baskets are emptied into the barret
Fill the barrel two Inches above the
top and press down carefully with a
screw or lever press. Do not put more
than four nails in each chine hoop.
Cold storage men, commission mer
chants and ill dealers in apples would
have better dispositions if less nails
were used in apple barrels.
Stencil the name of the variety on
the face end and lay the barrel on its
side. Ship them to the nearest good
cold storage plant as soon as you have
a carload. If possible do not let the
interval between picking and ship
ping exceed five days.
I have taken Ben Davis from the
storage rooms in May with the bloom
still on them as fresh and firm as
when picked. They were packed by a
grower who understood his business.
I do not know that it would be out of
the way to state that they were packed
by the president of your society.
Notwithstanding its unpleasant as
sociation with "that first affair" the
apple has always been a favorite fruit
There is never a surplus of first-class
apples. In fact the supply has never
equaled the demand, especially during
the winter and 'spring months.
Handling and packing apples be
comes a comparatively easy matter if
the proper care is given to growing
them. I may seem to be wandering
from my subject and perhaps intrud
ing on that of some one else, but I am
a firm believer in the doctrine of Oli
ver Wendell Holmes that "the train
ing of a child should commence two
hundred years before it is born." To
pertain perfection in any line require
careful preparation. If the tree is
good the fruit Is quite likely to be good
also. The tree must be carefully se
lected, planted, cultivated, fertilized,
pruned and sprayed. The grower who
does this well will make no mistake
when the picking and packing time
arrives.
Such fruit will always command
prices that will warrant the paying of
storage charges and leave a handsome
margin of profit over autumn prices
for the grower.
to 4C million pounds. Canada In 18M
exported 15 sslllion pounds.
. There are doubtless two main causes
of this decrease in exports of United
States cheese, vis.: A rapidly increas
ing home population wnlch consumed
large quantities of cheese, and laxity
of laws relating to the manufacture
and sale of "skim" and "filled" cheese.
These two classes of cheese have prej
udiced the British consumer against
American goods and has been favor
able for the introduction of "full
cream" cheese from Canada. In Can
ada no "skim" or "filled" cheese is al
lowed to be 'made or sold.
The .number, of, factories has in
creased from'nohe in '64 to about 3,000
in 1900.
This rapid growth is due. in addi
tion to causes mentioned to:
1. The fostering care of Provincial
and Dominion Governments.
2. The good work done by the vari
ous dairy associations In appointing
inspectors and instructors, and in
spreading dairy knowledge among the
people.
3. The work of the dairy schools in
training cheesemakers 'to take charge
of the factories.
4. An improvement in buildings and
equipment though there Is still room
for improvement in this direction.
5. The growth is due to the fact
that the cheese industry has paid. Like
Americans, Canadians are not fond of
a calling which does not pay them.
While there have been, years in which
the business was not profitable, yet on
the whole, cheese has paid as well as
any branch of agriculture during the
past 35 years.
There is still room for Improvement
in the class of cows kept on Canadian
farms, in the care of the milk, in meth
ods of making and curing the cheese,
also in marketing the cheese and di
viding profits among all classes con
cerned. At present there Is not true
co-operation, but each class endeavors
to get all out of the business which Is
possiblo for them, regardless of conse
quences to the others. A more hearty
co-operation, together witlh less sel
fishness would promote the growth of
the cheese industry in Canada.

cently ctadnctod tests to sirsrtsls th
relative value of eon and pans for fat
tening busbs. The report otth taats
says: Two experiments have bean
made with lambs for the purpose of
comparing these two fooafa, and though
the results are somewhat contradic
tory, they are given here for what they
are worth, and another Teport will he
made when further tests have been
completed.
In the first experiment, eight Iambs
were divided into two groups, making
four Iambs hi each group. One group
was fed equal parts by weight of corn
and oats, and the other group was fed
equal parts by weight of peas and oats,
the grain being ground in each case.
The average meal ration was slightly
over one and one half pounds of meal
per Iamb per day. In addition to the
meal ration, both groups were fed 'equal
quantities of red clover hay. In the
second experiment, a change was made.
Twelve Iambs were divided into three
groups of four lambs each. One group
was fed ground corn, another group,
ground peas; and the remaining group,
equal parts by weight of ground corn
and peas. At first the lambs were fed
one pound of meal per lamb per day,
which quantity was eventually in
creased to a pound and a half per Iamb
per day. On the averagethe lambs re
ceived 1.37 lbs of meal -per lamb per
day. In addition to the meal, all
groups were fed equal quantities of red
clover hay. The first experiment con
tinued for 74 days, and the second ex

Milk, from many dairy cows is to
rich in butter fat to feed to calves.
Besides being wasteful of butter, so
much fat is not needed and' may de
range the digestion of the calf. Aver
age cow's milk contains about 3.5 per
cent fat This amount of fat being
natural to the calf does it no harm.
But the calf can thrive on less fat
which may be obtained from some'
other source-than natural mother's
milk. The difference in market value
between milk fat and such fat as may
be supplied, may be so great as to
leave a good .profit for the feeder. The
substitution of skim-milk and ."old
process' linseed meal gruel for moth
er's milk by easy stages is possible,
and has been accomplished at the Sta
tion with gratifying results. The
young calf is taught to drink freshly
drawn mother's milk at one to four
days old. The 'gruel is prepared by
scalding, the meal in water, using one
part of meal to seven parts of water
by weight. The change is of skimmed
milk and one-fourth pound of the lin
seed meal gruel at every successive
feed, if the calf appears well and di
gestion is not impaired. Calves should
be closely' watched and the amount of
gruel or food varied to suit the indi
vidual. A few ounces of ground oats
and good fine hay should be kept, with
in the calf's reach at all times until
it eats both, then .regular feeds should
be supplied the same as of milk, and
gruel. A little green food may be of
fered, if possible, or if in summer the
calves may be turned into a small
shady pasture. N..C. AgL Experiment

It is evident that the new manage
ment of the state reformatory at El
mira proposes to make an entire
change in the methods of controlling
refractory convicts. Acting Superin
tendent Dr. Frank W. Robertson's
method of punishing men by the
"standing up" process is an innova
tion. Dr. Robertson asserts that he
finds this punishment exceedingly ef
fective. A convict is not suspended
by his wrists, as has been stated, but
is backed up against the cell door and
his bands are handcuffed hip high be
hind him. His back is to the corri
dor and all he can look at is a few feet
of stone wall. The convict begins to
suffer when he has been on his feet
an hour. ' The handcuffs hold' him in
one position, and do not permit shift
ing or a chance to rest So far there

Cbeaae ladastry of Canada.
Prof. H. H. Dean, of Guelph, Can
ada, in an address before the Vermont
dairymen's Association, said:
The cheese' industry of Canada Is a
result of the favorable natural condi
tions, and a reflection of the genius
and tastes of Canadian people. The
mother country was contemptuously
referred to at one time by a noted per
sonage, "as a nation of shopkeepers."
Canadians have no objections to being
known as a nation of cheese-makers.
Tho great lakes and inland rivers and
streams, together with a fertile soil
in most parts, make almost ideal con
ditions for manufacturing Cheddar
cheese. The descendants of Scotch,
English, German, Dutch and French
settlers, together with a good sprink
ling of New Englanders, have inherit
ed the tastes and aptitudes of their
forefathers for making fine cheese. The
countries from which Canadians have
sprung are among the most noted
cheesemakers in the world, and their
sens would be casting discredit upon
their ancestry did they hot make good
the traditions of their fathers.
In 1864 tho system of co-operative
cheese-making was introduced to Can
ada from the State of New York. At
that time we were importing cheese
for homo consumption. At present we
export' from 17 to 18 millions of dol
lars' worth of cheese annually or
about three dollars' worth for every
inhabitant of the country. At this
stage: it may not be out of place to
'compare the relative exports of cheese
from Canada ani-the United States.
In; 1864 Canada exported none; in 1870
Canadian exports of cheese were near
ly six million pounds. The United
States exports In 1870 were nearly six
ty million pounds. In 1880 Canada
had increased ner exports to about 40
million pounds, but the .United States
had Increased theirs to 127 million
pounds. From this lime on Canadian
cheese, exports have increased, while
those from the United States have
steadily decreased. In 1830 American
exports had dropped' to 95 million
pounds; in 1895 to 60-million and 189S

The United States government regu
lations as to the dipping of sheep are
as follows:. No sheep affected with
scabies, and no sheep that has been in
contact with others so affected shall
be allowed shipment from one state or
territory into another, or from any
state into the District of Columbia, or
from the district into any state, unless
said sheep shall first have been dipped
in a mixture approved by this de
partment. The dips now approved are:
1. Tobacco and sulphur dip, made
with sufficient extract of tobacco to
give a mixture containing not less
than five one-hundredths of one per
cent of nicotine, and two per cent
flowers of sulphur.
2. The lime-and-sulphur dip, made
with eight pounds of unslacked lime
and 24 pounds of flowers of sulphur
to 100 gallons of water. The lime and
sulphur should be boiled together for
not less than two hours, and all sedi
ment allowed to subside before the
liquid, is placed in the dipping vat
The owner of the sheep is privileged
to choose which one of the above men
tioned dips shall be used for his ani
mals. The Department will instruct
inspectors to enforce due care in dip
ping sheep, but it assumes no respon
sibility for loss or damage to such
animals, and persons that wish to
avoid any risks that may be incident
to dipping at the stock yards should
see that their sheep are free from dis
ease before they are shipped to market

Horticultural Societies.
Wm. J. Stewart, addressing a Massa
chusetts horticultural society, said:
A horticultural society bas more pow
er for good in a community than an?
similar organization. We shall nevet
be able to estimate the tremendous in
fluence exerted on New England life
and character during the past half
century, and for all coming time, by
the Massachusetts Horticultural Soci
ety. With the smaller affiliated or
ganizations, such as yours, equal re
sults are possible if you will only work
for it Remember that there is all the
difference in the world between a
worker in horticulture and a patron
of horticulture. As a nation we are
yet a young people and our minds are
so engrossed In industrial and econo
mic adjustments that we find not the
leisure or disposition to devote to the
cultivation of the finer sentiments. It
1;; your privilege and duty to turn our
attention to higher ideas and more ra
tional living.

Second Experiment

Corn and peas 2.60
1. In the first trial, corn and oats
gave a larger gain than peas and oats.
2. In the second trial peas alone
gave the largest gain, followed by the
mixture, corn and peas."
3. The second trial is more satisfac
tory than the first, because it covered
a longer period of time, and because,
from the method of feeding, a more di
rect comparison of corn and peas was
obtained. It is a suggestive fact, also,
that the gain made by the group on
corn and peas Is intermediate between
the gains made by the other two
groups, as it affords additional evi
dence regarding the superiority of peas
over corn.
4. During the second trial, ground
corn could be bought for 117 per ton,
while peas cost from 60c to 66c per
bushel. As a result though the peas
gave the largest gain, the corn gave
the cheapest gain.
5. According to the results of the
second trial, if pea meal is valued at
20 per ton. ground corn would be
worth 17.35 per ton.

culin tests made in dairy herds by the
Board since the efficiency and accur
acy of tuberculin as a diagnostic agent
has become establised, points very
clearly to the fact that throughout the
dairy districts of the State tuberculosis
prevails among the dairy cattle to a
considerable extent While in many
herds only a few cases have been dls-
closed, in a large number of herds a
considerable precentage bas been
found affected, and there has been in
many of these herds very conclusive
evidence of the development and
spread of the disease among cattle
through contagion. Whenever the dis
ease effects a foothold in a herd there
Is constant danger of its spreading to
other members, thus causing, in the
course of time, great pecuniary loss,
and no cure ever -having been dis
covered for the disease, the only means
of effectively eradicating It from the
herd is through, the destruction of the
affected animals. Owing to the Ina
bility of the best qualified inspectors
to discover the existence of the disease
in its earlier or incipient stages in any
animal by a physical, ante-mortem ex
amination, it follows that the only
means of discovering all of the animals
in a herd that are affected is a relia
ble diagnostic agent, which Prof. Koch
has given the world in tuberculin. Ex
perimentation during several years
with this agent has demonstrated that
it is very nearly an infallible test of
the presence of tuberculosis in the in
ternal organs of an animal when there
are no clinical manifestations of the
disease, and the Board has used tuber
culin in conducting tests to discover it
herds are affected, with most satisfac
tory results.

than, usually good, and the result s
that the buying public is purchasing
freely. If fruit raisers and middle

will market only good fruit the trade
will reach enormous proportions. Un

A raaaUy Horse.
Prof. Eugene Davenport says: If a
man wants a job not as easy as he
may imagine In advance, let him go
upon the streets of any town and try
to buy a first-class family horse. He
will find scores of them that owners
or agents will swear by as being the
best family, horse ever wrapped in
hide; but buy him, take home and try
him, and in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred he will prove to be wrong in
some vital respect. Nothing but con
stant family use, with the most kindly
and careful treatment, will ever make
a family horse in the true acceptation
of the term. A family horse must be
not less than seven to eight years old,
with several years of proper expe
rience, possession of his entire confi
dence, and a good, sensible brain to
start with. When any individual
recommends a family horse as being
absolutely reliable when It is less than
seven years old, take the statement
with a grain of salt and save your
family from accidents and possibly
death. A perfect family horse Is
cheaper at 1500 than an unsafe one as
a gift It Is always a safe proposition
in buying a family horse to test him
for a week, to be driven by a well
posted, strong man, to save accidents.
