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

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.

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

Cheer up, comrades, they will come;
And beneath the starry flag
We shall breathe the air again

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.

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

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

there has been no need for the former

ent who fell into the hands of the
Boers was saved by a trick "kissing

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

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

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.

FARM AND GARDEN.
atATTSRS OF INTBRBST TO

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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
