HER HEART WAS TOUCHED. A Soata Dakota Blether aad Bar Uttfta GUI aUaasaa Taetr Gratltsae la aa Opea Letter. FOLSOM. Custer Co., South Dakota Dec 15 (Special.) Mrs. H. D. Hyde has given for publication a letter ex pressing her unbounded gratitude to Dodd's Kidney Pills for the double cure of herself and little daughter. Mrs. Hyde has been troubled with pains in her heart for over three years and for a long time her little girl suf fered from weak kidneys. The grateful lady does not seem able to find words strong enough to express her gratitude. She has written the following: I cannot say too much in praise of Dodd's Kidney Pills. They are the greatest kidney and heart medicine I ever used. I had been troubled for over three years with a severe pain in my heart, which entirely disappeared after I had taken a few doses of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I also gave them to my little girl, whose kidneys had been weak, and she commenced to improve from the very first dose. Dodd's Kid ney Pills are certainly a wonderful medicine. I would be pleased to have this, my statement, published, as I feel it my duty to let others know just what the Pills -will do for them. MRS. H. D. HYDE. Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure. 50c a box.

Traasa, In the prison cell I sit Thinking, mother dear of yon, And our bright and happy home so far away; And the tears, they fill my eyes. Spite of all that I can do, Tho" I try to cheer my comrades and be gay. Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching. Cheer up, comrades, they will come; And beneath the starry flag We shall breathe the air again Of the free-land In our own beloved home. In the battle-front we stood. When their fiercest charge they made, And they swept us off, a hundred men or more. But before we reach'd their lines, They were beaten back dismayed, And we heard the cry of vict'ry o'er and o'er. ' ' So within the prison cell We are waiting for the day That 'shall come to op'en wide the Iron door. And the hollow eyes grow bright, And the poor heart almost gay, As we think of seeing home and friends once more. Soldiers aa the Mareb. The foot soldier, is an anachronism, as archaic as the man at arms with his halberd or the archer with his cloth-yard shaft The modern foot soldier is not only a fighting machine, he is also a beast of burden, and, no man can be both with success. The American infantryman equipped for war is weighted down with rifle, bayo net ammunition, clothing, shelter tent, water bottle and haversack, 'in allasome sixty pounds in weight It is a common belief that a soldier is so strong and hardy that he does not feel the burden; that he can march ten or fifteen miles with sixty pounds about his body and not mind it; that, like the well-trained athlete, who thrives under violent exercise, he enjoys hav ing to transport all this parapherna lia. Now, as a matter of fact, that Is the one thing of all others which the soldier -despises. He doesn't mind the fighting; he can put up with the heat or cold, and, although he may growl when his rations are short, he accepts that as part of the day's work, but to turn himself Into a porter, to be a coolie and the bearer of burdens is a thing he abominates. There is nothing more -depressing to the spirit, nothing more devitalizing, nothing which makes a greater drain on a man than a march. There is nothing pic turesque, nothing exhilarating, noth ing to break the horrible monotony of this seemingly Interminable plodding through baking dust or clogged mud or chilling snow, says a writer in the Forum. All the color of war has gone. There are no bands to make men for get their fatigue; no waving plumes and fluttering flags to excite the im agination, no spectators to stimulate pride there is no scenery even. War is now a monochrome; everyone dress es the same, khaki loses its semblance of color and takes on the color of the dirt or mud of the country through which the army marches, and no man sees more than the man in front of him or the man on each side of him. Hour after hour this goes on; rifles be come heavier, ammunition belts chafe more gallingly, haversacks and water bottles strike in a tender spot shoes get filled with grit which makes each step an agony. If, after a long march men are thrown into action, they have lost their vim and their power of re sistance, and it is only by sheer nerve that they are able to stand up to the rack. Nine times out of ten infantry are sent into action with their nerves unstrung, simply because they have been broken down by the strain which has been put upon them. To get the best results out of men they should go into action in a perfect physical condi tion, but they are generally weakened by the drain made upon them. The remedy for this, a remedy which will not only Increase the actual physical strength of an army but will also give it that mobilitywhich Is all-essential, is to give each man Jiis own means of transport that is. to mount him. The armies of the future will be armies of mounted infantry. Fathers ef WeetTFetat Beys. There has of late been a great deal written and said about the parentage of the young men who have recently been and -are being trained as sol diers of the nation at West Point says the New YorkHerald. The state ment has been made that favoritism has controlled the nominations, and that there have been frequent discrim inations in favor of certain callings. To ascertain the exact truth a reCent examination of the records of about 600 candidates for the last 10 years has been made, and it shows that almost every calling is quite well represented. There were 149' sons of farmers, 115 sons of merchants, 100 sons of lawyers. 65 sons of- army officers, 37 'sons of manufacturers, 32 sons of mechanics, 20 sons of insurance agents, 19 sons of real estate agents. 14 sons of clergy men, 13 sons of editors, bankers and bookkeepers, 10 sons of druggists, 9 sons of traveling .agents, 8 sons of school teachers and 6 sons of dentists. AOoced Craelty T ' To the Editor: The story of al leged Russian atrocities In China, as told In the name of the wife of the1 British commissioner of customs at Tientsin, which was published In The Record of Aug. 8. could neither origin ate from an American lady nor from a lady of any other nation, but only from a mean agent on the British side. I am sure I know that In the mili tary doctrines of nasals existed a rule, known to every.former soldier, that if In time of waror under warlike cir cumstances a soldier or an osCcer dared to avenge himself upon an un armed man on the enemy's aide, aad if he would especially dare to offend a harmless woman or an Innocent child, he had to paw what was tech nically called " atroy stroyu" to. the extent of ha nUtcondnct and violation of military diadpUae., "Stray atroynf nseaut two rows of soldiers facing' each other at n cer tain distance and every one tosdhnf a knout ready to whip the guilty. Tho guilty one had then to pass between the rows and sustain the heaviest lashes of twenty-five or more knouts from, each side, as the case might demand, for inhuman behavior In time of war. The same rule with greater rigor would then be applied for "pillaging, looting, torturing and murdering right and left" If such crimes were possible in the old times, and which are now false ly ascribed to Russian soldiers. But since the above educational measure had been In existence, the Russian his tory of battles knows not a single in stance of brutality on the part of Rus sian soldiers against the innocent and there has been no need for the former discipline. Consequently you may be sure that the -Russian soldiers of whatever rank stand far above the British soldiers in this respect and It is not difficult to prove this differ ence between them. B. A. BouroC University of Chicago. Scared the steers. George R. Rusby, a Kansas City man, who, has traveled many lands and seas for the Armour Packing Company and has had many adven tures of his own, is now in South Africa, and his letters home contain many good stories of the experiences of the Britishers during the war down there, says the Kansas City Journal. His latest one, contained In' a letter that was posted at Port Ellzabet tells how the life of a war correspond ent who fell into the hands of the Boers was saved by a trick "kissing bug." such as was used'in Kansas City last year to frighten people out of their wits. "You will no doubt be In terested in reading of an experience which Mr. Swallow, war correspondent of the Cape Argus, had during the present war," Mr. Rusby writes. "While at work ur country Swallow got wind of certain information re garding the movement of the Boers, which he desired to convey to one of the British generals, whom be felt confident of reaching in safety. Hav ing made notes of the information and putting some of the notes in his pock ets, he started away. Later on, un fortunately, he was captured by a party of Boers, who proceeded to go through his pockets. After emptying one pocket they began to examine the papers. Among them was an envelope containing one of the 'kissing bugs' which the Armour Packing Company sent out In the way of an advertise ment, and which had been given the correspondent several months before. One of the Boers standing In the cen ter of .the group unfolded the paper and the 'kissing bug shot out com pletely taking them by surprise, and creating such consternation among them that, in the excitement, Mr. Swallow managed to destroy, without being seen, the notes which he had in another pocket thereby escaping what semed certain death." Fever Homicide la the Araay. Surgeon General Sternberg has pre pared statistics making a comparison of cases of suicide and homicide which occurred in the army during the years of 1898 and 1899 compared with the 10 years between 1888 and 1897. It shows that there were relatively fewer homicides during those two years than during the previous decade. The aver age number of suicides per year In an army of 27,116 for the 10 years was 17. The ratio per thousand was 63 per cent. The strength of the army in 1898 Is given at 147,795, the aver age number of suicides 38, and the percentage per thousand 26. The strength of the army In 1899 is given at 105,546, and the number of suicides at 30; ratio per thousand .28 per cent Two Navy OSaeera to Retire. On the 4th day of March next two officers well known to the navy will retire from the active list These of ficers are Rear-Admiral Philip Hlch born, U. S. N., chief of the bureau of construction and repair, and Pay Inspector Henry G. Colby, U. 8. N., both of whom will reach the age of 62 years on the same date. It -has occurred to very few officers to retire for age on the same date with others, for, as numerous as are the birthdays in the navy, similar dates are rare, and still rarer are ages identical. Christmas Presents for Soldiers. Christmas boxes for soldiers serving in the Philippines were sent free this year by the. war department A cir cular to this effect was prepared in the war department and the oppor tunity thus presented was seized by hundreds who sent remembrances to friends serving their country in the Philippines. Bedford's Iiaek. t Admiral Bedford holds the record of his present rank in the British navy for the number of fights in which he has taken part, and "Bedford's luck" has become the proverbial way of speaking of an officer who has what is considered the good fortune to be ordered. to a scene of action. Few Regalare la United States. Probably at no time since the civil war have there been so few regular soldiers stationed in the United States as there are today. Of the 100,000 of ficers and men constituting our pres ent army all but about 17.000 are serv ing abroad, mostly in the Philippines. alajor Taraer oa Retired Ust. Major William J.

About a year ago a seventy-pound Mississippi river catfish was taken to the New York aquarium. For about six months it was an exceedingly In expensive boarder, eating hardly any thing.

'" ' FARM AND GARDEN. atATTSRS OF INTBRBST TO AQBICULTUBIBTS. fjrss-i The rapM extsnudon of irrigation In tho west and the attention which It has attracted has caused tho irriga tion already practiced in the humid portions of the United States to be overlooked. The facts already gath ered by the irrigation investigations of the office of experiment station of the U. S. Department of Agriculture show that there la a considerable area In the eastern part of the country mow being artificially watered. For mar ket gardening and growing of high priced products, irrigation has proven highly successful. Few people are aware that the rice planters of Loukv lana irrigate over 100,000 acres. The canals to water the rice fields along the South Atlantic coast were In use more than a century before Brlgham Young's followers cut the first ditches from City Creek In Utah. The area of land covered by reserves, or reser voirs as western irrigators would call them, is greater than the acreage cov ered by such reservoirs in any arid state, and the volume of stored water is equally as large. Recently there has been a tendency to extend this use of -water to other crops, notably on truck farms. If this shall prove profit able the physical conditions are favor able for the irrigation of a large por tion of land along both the South At lantic and Gulf coasts. Canals to water these level bottom lands along the coast rivers can be dug for far less outlay than has to be expended on many of the canals In the arid west, where rocky canons and preclp itous slopes must be traversed to reach the plains yet awaiting reclamation. Recent experiments in Louisiana show that the irrigation of forage crops is exceedingly profitable; hence It doss not seem to be unreasonable to antici pate that we mar have in this sec tion of the south irrigation works riv aling In magnitude those of Piedmont and Lombardy. Tho Cesassoa Sqeasa Bag. The accompanying illustration Is of the adult form of the common squash -Antri$tis: .SMailiJsii1n;e.siae viewer head. showiag baaatellaa; -c, aadeav ' teal segawats of aule; d, saate of Jamais; , twice aataral aixef Kc,i, aligktb atom enlarged (orifhial).. bug. The destructiveness of this bug Is not believed to be great It is a large-aised insect, and for this reason Is charged with much of the injury that Is done by other insects. This squash bug, particularly the adult Is unusually resistant to insecticides. A wash strong enough to kill the ma ture Insect will at the same time de stroy the vines. This renders it neces sary to employ hand and cultural methods. There are many methods of controlling this Insect Among them are: Protection of young plants with covering; repellants, such as land plaster and gypsum saturated with kerosene or turpentine; planting an excess of seed to distribute attack; stimulating the growth of the plants by manure or other fertilizers, and. lastly, clean cultural practice. If the precaution be observed of gathering the vines as soon as the crop Is har vested and burning them, many bugs in the different stages will be de stroyed and the' crop of Insects be re duced for the following year. Of other methods in general use against this species are hand picking early In the season and the trapping of the bugs by means'of boards, pieces of bark or similar material, placed about on' the ground In the garden. Hertlcmltnral Oeaoiiatl At some of our agricultural colleges there are now being held annually courses in horticulture. Where possi ble these should be taken' advantage of by the young men that expect to make a part of their money In farm ing out of horticultural products. The work generally consists of lectures and demonstrations. The topics cov ered Include setting of trees and. shrubs, pruning, care of orchards, small fruit productions and the care of the vegetable garden. Much of the expense of fruit raising consists of losses due to ignorance, and these losses can, to a large extent, be avoid ed by proper instruction. The cost of a course In horticulture is small, and the time devoted to It need not be more than three months In the win ter. e Every orchardist should study prun ing, as It has much to do with the success of his orchard. .One kind of pruning may increase the fruit and an other kind decrease it Some men that have never studied the matter imagine that any kind of pruning will increase fruit production, and so every few years they have a "spell" of pruning. When a tree has started to bear the pruning should be so conducted that the bearing habit the tree has formed will not be changed. If the top Is very heavily pruned the tendency of the tree la to make wood at the ex pense of ;the fruit The pruning heavi ly of trees after they have gone sev eral years without such attention tarns them Into wood-forming. Many an orchard has been Interrupted In its bearing by this kind of prun)ng. It Is better to prune a little each year, and this kind of pruning Is really a method of thinning the fruit a Fruit when kept in cellars or cold storage houses must not be permit ted to experience n constant tempera ture of less than 3f degrees nor more than 4 degrees. Apples will not freese at 32 and while they are in cold 'storage will not deteriorate if the tem perature Is too low. but the difficulty Is that when the apples come out of saeh cold storage they go to pieces within a day or so. This prevents them from going oa the market where they must frequently be exposed- to normal temperatures for days before being sold. Apples that have been kept at a little under 49 degrees stand the change admirably and keep per fectly for weeks. This: w the basis of' the trouble that at first occurred (when it wesi attempted to .send, trait; the ocean in vessels that were 1aTc IBBaaaBP 1 nd meats in cold star kest at 22 degrees for the f hw sorttnr and. tho beef ex- wanted tho taamperafcar kt at, 2t dsgrses for hat ncostect It was hard oa tho ajaJss,v and tho stock proved so werthlsas am Mag taken out that it was found aiPisssry to ar range special roonss oa'.the steamers for tho storage of tho fruit aad in which the temperature could' he regu lated according to Ms Prof. Neleoa of tho United - States Dtwtmeut of Agrisndtnre, in discuss ing tho probable oflecte of new in ventions upon tho future desnand for horses, thus susas np tho prospects: From 1817 to 1894; a period marked by great activity in street and railway building and also tho Uereased man ufacture and ass of bicycles, tho num ber of horses Increased from 12.496.744 to 16,011429. This shows that al though the not of tho horse decreased in particular directions, yet there must have been a healthy growth in their use in other directions. During this period ,the. selling Talue of. horses radualiy declined from 72 to 248 per !iead. But tale decrease was certainly not due to the number of horses' thrown on the market as a result ol displacement by electricity in propul sion of street cars and the general In troduction of the bicycle, because we find that the values of other lire stock, mules, milch cows aad other cattle de creased from 99 to 40 per cent during the same time. During the prevalence of the great commercial depression from 189S to 1897 the number of horses In the coun try fell to 14.364,547.- At the same time the value per head suffered a further decrease, the same being the case with sheep, swine and cattle other than milch. cows. The cattle interest was the first to recover, being followed a year later by the other stock Inter ests. It Is likely that there will be a continued demand for the right kind of horses. A great deal has been writ ten about the probable displacement of-the horse by the automobile, but it hardly seems probable that it will pro duce any more serious effect than have tue electrie street cars and bicycles. Each has Its sphere of usefulness, and each will continue to have. off tho Talk. Bulletin 61, Rhode Island Experiment- Station: Another phase of con stitutional weakness is the failure to absorb the yolk at the normal rate. Just previous to breaking the shell the chick takes into the body cavity the large nnsssimllated remnant of the yolk of the egg. The point at which the abdominal walu meet after clos ing In the yolk-sac can be plainly seen as a bare spot, the navel. The yolk sac thus within the body cavity is con nected with the intestine by a nar row tube through which the liquefied yolk enters the cavity of the Intestine, where It is digested and absorbed. This, as Is well known; is the reason why chicks require no food for at least twenty-four hours after hatching. For the next two or three days, as the chick acquires strength, the yolk is supplemented more and more by food from external sources, and normally, at the end of perhaps a week, the yolk has practically all been absorbed. If, however, through anatomical ab normalities, Inherited weakness, or other cause, the chick falls to assim ilate the yolk, the bird does not get the natural food and may thus be weakened, and nt length the unab sorbed yolk decomposes and poisons the chick. This Is the most prolific cause of "bowel trouble." Many breed ers have remarked that chicks hatched from eggs which have been subjected to much variation of temperature in the incubator are most subject to "bowel trouble" and that this may kill almost the entire hatch. The cause was found by us to be in the non-absorption of the yolk. This hap pened in a large proportion of those chicks, which died previous to hatch ing, and 13.3 per cent of the hatched chicks examined showed abnormalities connected with the yolk-sac. Forestry la Iadftaaa. The division of forestry of the de partment of agriculture has during the last summer examined the sites of a ttsswluim m4 .aAB.aA,a. m v buuiuwr vi jiuuiiauona in inaiana, in roesTJOnna tt ttlA innllrailnna fa ,-vo planting plans which have been re ceived from that state. Although four fifths of Indiana was originally well timbered, as much of the state is now practically treeless, with the exception of narrow strips along the rivers. In some places the available timber has all been cut off. even down to the streams. Farmers have therefore had to undertake tree planting in. order to keep themselves supplied with fence posts and wood for various uses on the farm. The conditions in these now treeless portions of Indiana are, how ever, very favorable to the establish ment of plantations, especially in the regions where the originally marshy lowlands have been drained off. Be sides ibis, the recent law which prac tically exempts tree plantations from taxation will decidedly reduce their cost The planting plans, which will be based on the surveys made this summer, will consist of recommenda tions, regarding desirable species, preparation of the soil, and methods of establishing and managing the plan tation with reference to the needs of each case. The work has been under the charge of the assistant, superin tendent of tree planting for the divi sion. The planting plans will prob ably be completed before next spring. Foils Fowls. The Polish fowl Is strictly a fancier's fowl and not one for general profit, especially the profit required on the farm. For the fancier who has nothing to do but spend his time with bis chickens no more satisfactory fowl can be gotten. It Is a handsome' breed, very docile as a rule,, and certainly makes a nice pet The varieties of the Polish hreed are numerous, viz.. White Crested Black. Black Crested White. White Crested White. Silver Spangled. Gold .Spangled, and Buff, all of which are very handsome. The crest on the head is very large and obscures the view of the fowl' In nearly every direc tion except downward. They are. therefore, an easy prey to hawks, and for this reason) alone are certainly not the farmers' fowL Again, in winter time they mast he protected from In clement weather; since the heavy crest when -wet ismslss so tor long time, thus subjatissg the fowl to colds, roup, etc. Tho yoaag chicks'are very deli cate and mat have tho best of care, espodslly while f eathortng.
