I'll off to the wars again; My peaceful home has no charm for me, The battle-field ,no pain. The lady I love will soon be a bride With a diadem on her brow; Oh! why did she flatter my youthful pride? She's going to leave me now! She took me away from my warlike lord, And gave me a silken suit; I thought no "more of my master's sword, When I played on my master's lute. She seemed to think me a boy above Her pages of low degree; Oh! had I but loved with a boyish love, It would have been better for me. Then I'll hide in my breast every sel fish care, I'll flush my pale cheek with wine; When smiles awake the bridal pair. I'll hasten to give thee mine. I'll laugh and I'll sing though my heart may bleed, And I'll walk in the festive train, 'And, -if I survive it, I'll mount my steed. And 'II off to the wars again. But one golden tress of her hair 111 twine In my helmet's sable plume, And then on the fields of Palestine I'll seek an early doom. And if by the Saracen's hand I fall, 'Mid the noble and the brave, A tear from my lady-love is all I ask for the warrior's grave. There is considerable doubt as to the authorship of the above song, once very popular, and still occasionally sung. Andrew Lang, in an amusing article on T. Haynes Bayley, the song writer, credits him with it, but in this he appears to have made a mistake The common story told as to its origin is that it was suggested by Lord El phinstone's unfortunate attachment to the Princess Victoria. Elphinstone. who is said to have been a very hand some young man of good abilities, as pired to the hand of the heiress to the throne; and report says was grievously disappointed when -after her accession to the throne the queen became en gaged to Prince Albert. Lord Elphin stone went to India, where he had a brilliant career as soldier and ruler, dying unmarried in 1860. The author ship of the song has even been imputed to Lord Elphinstone but on no prob able grounds. Montreal Herald and Star. TRAINING WAR-UOR8ES. The main difliculty in training a war horse is to accustom the animal to the thunder of firearms. A horse that can be quickly trained to the roar of cani'on and musketry is an acquisition which instructors know how to appre ciate. You hear people talk glibly enough nowadays of supplying our troops in the east with plenty of re mounts, and it's quite evident from the remarks they make that they imagine they need only to lasso a few thousand wild horses in Texas, ship them off to Manila and voilo! eur sol diers are remounted. Although most horses can be quickly trained to' face the most withering fire, many are very difficult to convince that a tremendous noise is not necessarily a signal of danger, while some never can be taught to ignore the rattle of mus ketry. Your correspondent has had the pleasure of visiting the farm of a train er of war horses, situated in the wilds of Texas. In a field adjoining the sta bles I found, ranged in a circle ready for instruction, some three dozen fine horses, including a few splendid chest nuts. The instructor stood in the cen ter of the circle, with the horses facing him, gave the signal to the attendants to be in readiness and fired three chambers of a revolver in rapid suc cession. Instantly there was a great commotion. Most of the horses reared and plunged, and it was only with the greatest difliculty that some of them were prevented from breaking away and racing madly about the field. A few, on the other hand, did nothing more than prick up their ears and toss their heads, and these were promptly taken away for test The more restive ones, of course, were subjected to the revolver shots until they could face them unflinchingly. The second test is much more severe. The horses are galloped up to a supposed company of infantry, who fire simultaneously as soon as the animals have got properly into swing. The first volley usually plays havee with the formation of the advancing cavalry, and some of the horses rear so wildly that their riders have considerable difficulty in keeping their saddles. In a few moments, how ever, the charge is continued, another volley fired this time, of course, at close range and the formation is once more deranged. This maneuver is con tinued until, familiarity having bred contempt, the horses advance as read fly in the face of musketry (both vol leys and "straggling" fire) as when faced by nothing at all. They are then taught in precisely the same way to disregard the boom of cannon. Once properly trained, a horse faces the deadly fire of an enemy on the field of battle with an absolute fearlessness, of which man, be he brave as a lion, is incapable. This, however, is only nat ural. The horse has been taught to be lieve the din of battle to be quite meaningless and without results. When in actual warfare he sees horses 'and men around him shattered and life less, there is nothing to suggest to him that that same din of battle and death are in any way connected, and the report of firearms, consequently, for him has no terrors whatever. The whistling of bullets and the screaming of shells unknown, of course, at the maneuvers at home while insig nificant details to the, horse, are sadly full of meaning to the man, and often enough du our soldiers envy the ignor ance of the horse the "ignorance wkich is bliss." Philadelphia .Times. - GRAND AaUtT FADING AWAY. Death is making sad inroads in' the ranks jof the Grand Army of the Re public. -The report of the adjutant gsneral at the recent encampment at Cleveland shows that the number lost by death during the year ending June, 30, 1901. was S.166. and the total mem bershlp of the order is now placed, at' Z69,5e7.

This however, measures only approximatel; the loss by death among the memben of the order, and it does mot take InU account the deaths among those whe never joined the Grand Army. Prob ably not .more than one-third of thoM who fought in the war have been en rolled among the boys in blue. The deaths among the latter have bee 'if as large, if not larger, proportio,"ano it is consequently .within the truth tc say that during the last seven yean 100,000 veterans have joined the grand army in the beyond. The 'next sever years is likely to see still greater in roads. The increasing age of those who remain and their" growing 'Infirmi ties must make great gaps in the Grand Army membership, and among the.unenrolled veterans. The fading of the army is, steady and sure, and soon only a remnant of those whe fought to save the union will be left to tell the story. AMERICAN HERO WORSHIT. Perhaps the hero is no mean idol fot worship, but we Americans are apt tc carry the thing too far. While I be lieve in giving the hero all praise and honor due him, yet when a -man hat only done his duty only done whal was In his power to do and what waj expected of him, there is no reason why he should be worshiped at all. Is behalf of the heroes of our army sad navy, perhaps it would be well to take a little of the praise from the officers, who are well paid for their servicet and suffer little of privation, and give it to "the men behind the guns." es pecially those who could make no greater sacrifice than to lay down their lives for their country's sake. How much praise and honor is given tc those men on oar battleships who, dar ing the glory of the battle, toil with out ceasing at the hot furnaces below, without even knowing the turn of Ihe battle, and who are in the most Im mediate danger of their -lives, should the vessel be destroyed by torpedoes or meet disaster in any other way? Some of the heroes of old and some modern ones, who suffered undue pri vations and succeeded where it seem ed impossible, well deserve the name of hero, but in a great many cases to day, heroism has almost become a profession. Some are so well paid In honor and money for one good achieve ment that they feel their cup of glory is full and they need never try to ac complish another. In some instances thousands of dollars have been spent. to bestow honors where they were not even appreciated. After all, true hero ism lies not in what end is reached oi aim accomplished, but in what sacri fice is made to reach that end or ac complish that aim. Mrs. L. A. Shrin er, of Newberne, N.

A year ago it was the poorest town or the western continent When Gen Wood visited the place about a year ago he was astonished at the evidences of poverty on every hand. There was no work in progress, and the people a large part of whom were beggars, were struggling for an existence. Gen Wood saw that the people there must have some assistance. The first thing to do was to distribute money in some way, but in a manner to teach the peo ple in want that it was not given tc them gratis. Consequently an appro priation was made for repairs on the streets and a corps of men was put tr work. Later It was decided to dis tribute cattle in that section, and this was done under the direction of the agricultural department The assist ance the people have received has been of great "benefit to them. They have not only received the direct benefit but encouraged by the efforts in theii behalf, they have gone to work with new life, and from a gentleman who if familiar with the conditions which ex ist there it is stated that the town is really in good condition and will be prosperous in a few years. It was for merly one of the richest towns on the island, the cattle industry being ex tensive and paying well. Cuban cor respondence of the Boston Transcript AN OBJECT LESSON FOR GRANT. The story is told of the 'first time Grant ever had charge of a large bodj of men sent out to .give battle, says the Syracuse Post-Standard. He was colonel in the early part of 1862, de tailed to go to the relief of an Illi nois regiment supposed to be sur rounded by rebels at Palmyra. Mo. but when ho arrived the regiment had relieved itself by retiring. Grant ther went out' to Florida, in the same state, and, as ihe regiment toiled over the hill beyond which the enemy was sup posed to be in waiting. Grant says he would have "given anything to be back again, in Illinois." At the top of the hill instead of troops drawn up ir battle array Grant saw a deserter camp. "It occurred to me at onc that Harris had-been as much afraid of me as I 'had been , of him," said Grant "From that event to the close of the war I never experienced trepi dation upon confronting an enemy though I always felt more or less anx iety.

Oklahoma experi ment station: Feeding wheat to farm animals Is not a novelty to the farm ers who passed through the years of 93, 94 and '95 in this country, as man) thousand bushels were fed daring thai time. Due to a very severe uroutu which has caused almost a total fail are of corn the farmer now has the choice of feeding wheat; of which he fortunately has plenty; or letting his stock go without grain. At 57 cents per bushel, wheat is by far the cheap est grain within his reach, and if the price of fat stock-Is maintained It can be fed with profit if the proper meth ods are followed. The feeder has the advantage of the experience gained from 93 and '94 and any one not familiar with them should get them as they have been widely published in reports and papers. The value of wheat for hog food has been demonstrated by practical feeders and the experiment stations. Pound for pound it Is equal or slightly su perior to corn, when properly fed. A bushel of wheat will produce from 12 to 15 pounds of pork when fed' to thrifty shoats. Grinding at five cents 'per bushel pays well, since, when fed whole and. dry, about one-fourth passes through the hog undigested. Soaking does not lessen this materially, al though the results are some better. Feeding sheaf wheat to fattening hogs has not proven economical, but with pigs and stock hogs on a light grain' feed it is practiced with good results. Little definite information is on rec ord in feeding wheat to cattle, although hundreds have been so fed with good results. In the few experiments at ex periment stations in this line, wheat has been fed mixed with other grain. When fed this way it has given re sults fully equal to corn. At the Ohio station steers fed on a mixture of wheat meal and bran required 6.7 pounds of grain to produce .a pound of gain. At the Kansas station twelve steers fed on wheat meal for 63 flays required 5.72 pounds of grain for each pound of gain. This is 10.5 pounds of' beef from a bushel of .wheat The 63 days were the first part of the feeding period. When the grain fed was limit ed in amount the steers ate it Veil without getting off feed. A thousand pound steer should not be fed over 16 to 18 pounds of wheat meal per day, as wheat will surfeit a steer more read ily than corn meat Ground a the' only condition In which to feed wheat to cattle, and better results will be obtained with this if It can be- mixed with bran or cotton seed meat Wheat meal makes good feed for dairy cat tle, but should be fed with, alfalfa, bran, cotton seed or cotton seed meal, for the best results. With sheep wheat, feeding has been very successful, as the grain gives the best results when fed whole and dry, and the cost of preparation is saved. At the Michi gan experiment station wheat fed to Iambs returned 100 pounds of gain for each 553 pounds of grain fed. ' 7 Opinions' differ much on the merits' of wheat as a horse feed. Dae to" im proper methods of feeding, many poor results have followed, but this should not detract from its worth for this pur pose. Whole dry wheat cannot be fed to horses with good results, especially to work or driving horses. Soaking it improves it some; but grinding Is. by far the best method of preparing, it for horses, but if it is fed as an exclusive feed, even in this condition, care will be necessary to avoid colic at times. Much better results will be obtained by mixing half bran, oats or corn with the wheat or mixing it-with chopped feed. .The composition of wheat is such that .for the animal to make the best, use of it some food rich in pro tein must be added. Cotton seed meal can be used In most cases for this, pur pose. When corn or wheat is 25 to 30 cents per bushel this consideration has not much importance, hot with the present' prices the saving made by bal ancing up the ratio will be consider able. There will be considerable ques tion' as to how wheat will pay ont ibis year when fed to fattening stock, but there can be no question bat that It Will pay to 'feed It to growing and breeding stock rather than to sacri fice them or let them suffer and de teriorate. ' rattnuy ia mrcy Wsvtar. i Prof. S. H? Forbes, of the Arisona Ssverlnent Station, lus tkis to say of the fertnixiag valM of river water: Th aUavial .silts which are always carried, in greater or leas quantity, in attar waters, although they-' detract .xialr afwaablenesf, are l .. . . r r ....

Bat when forest! and grassy plains an overran wltfc sheep and cattle, when the grasses an destroyed and the smrface Is ground to powder by trampling herds, when tht rainfall begins to gully the depletes range and carry the debris into the rivers, the quantity of mad carried ia irrigating.' streams becomes very much greater. Its quality, also must he af fected by the stock-manure swept Into the drainage from the surface of the ranges. Now, just as the deposit of mud re sulting from the annual overflow of the Nile accounts for the fertility of the Egyptian lowlands; so do the rich silts deposited upon irrigated lands in Ari zona account, in large part for their constantly ucreasing productiveness. The two most valuable constituents of oar river silts are nitrogen and organ ic matter, being precisely the elements of fertility deficient In our burned-out arid region soils. The addition and in corporation of these deficient materials is largely responsible for the well known Improvement by irrigation of desert lands. The fertilizing value of these river silts to an irrigated district may be judged a when it is stated that for the year ending August 1, .1900. the mad deposited on the irrigated lands of Salt river valley, valued at commercial rates-for fertilisers, amounted to about one million dollars, or, not far from eight dollars per acre for the valley. Considered as an investment this eight dollars of. value, which is disre garded in the cost of the water returns with increase In the resulting crops. A BfaUnr r Kdaeatle. At the Iowa dairy convention a member of Congress made the sugges tion that the dairymen should educate the labor unions and the cattle pro ducers as to'the real facts in the case of oleomargarine The suggestion Is a good one. -There is strong reason to believe that both classes are laboring under a misapprehension in the mat ter. Certain it Is that laborers in the city are at present against. the dairy men. One laborer said to the writer: "The dairymen wish to prevent the manufacture of oleomargarine so we will have to pay them at least 35 cents a pound for butter the year, around." The argument is a strong one and very effective In keeping the city laborers on the side of oleo. Let the dairymen send a few missionaries among the la borers to prove two things: That but ter will not sell at an exorbitant price if oleo is not colored, and that they are now buying oleo at butter prices and not at oleo prices. The cattle men should be made to understand that thev are not settine "S4 ner head I more' on account of oleo being colored to resemble butter. Facts u Una; Facd'as;. - Young animals will give more gain for the same amount of feed than will older animals. There is no advantage in farmers carrying along their ani mals with just enough feed to keep them 'alive. It is not wise to have the hogs on scant feed either summer or winter. Swill and milk will not work well witn silage, that combination making an unbalanced ration. During the winter season some of our best feeders make corn one-third to one half of the ration, using swill with ground peas and oats for the balance ot the ration. One feeder that we know of makes his swill of milk: and middlings', making a thin mixture. Into a barrel of this is thrown a shovelful of hardwood ashes. Cera Crop Talae. lsee.

The cow must be fed a reason able allowance during the winter to keep ner in reasonable condition, and she often gives absolutely no returns frr this food! The young calf in early winter is' also compelled to begin dry feeds immediately, after weaning. Cows should not be housed on the concentration plan. The time is past when crowding of cattle is regarded as sanitary. In some states the health .authorities are taking the matter up. In one eastern state there is a law to the effect that when cows are stabled with their faces between each other there-. shall be at least ten feet, of space. between them.

The medi cal men are just now eagerly discuss ing a most remarkable cure of a severe case of Kidney Disease in this county. Mr. Byron O. Leslie of Northport has for years been a victim of kidney de rangements, with all the consequent pain and annoyance. He was gradual ly growing worse and as the disease advanced he became veiy despondent, often wondering if he would have to endure this suffering all his lifetime. But at last he found a remedy that cured him in Dodd's Kidney Pills. He was much pleased, but did not say much about it lest the good effect he experienced would not last. Now, however, after months of continued good health he has concluded that he is permanently cured and his an nouncement of this has caused a pro found sensation among the physicians and the people who knew of his appar ently hopeless condition.
