In the afternoon it held the left flank of the Iron Brigade, meeting and repell ing charge after charge of the enemy. The ire of the regiment was so deadly that for one hour after the line of the enemy had advanced to the attack not a live Confederate succeeded in cross ing the stream. When the command was finally withdrawn with the re mainder of the brigade, 56 per cent of those who held the line were dead and wounded.

There were no cable messages or telegraph reports for the Courant In coming ships did not report 400 miles off the coast by wireless telegraphy. There was no organised news service, covering the whole civilised world and furnishing the most intimate details of the world's news on the day that it occurred. .Such a thing as a foreign corre spondent had never been thought of. and the modern perfecting press, with its output of many thousands of many-paged newspapers an hour, was as undreamed of as Marconi's span ning of the Atlantic with his tele graphic ether vibrations.

Another unusual feature Is that it is found in an Immense ore body. The main chamber of the cave pre sents a beautiful appearance, portions of the wall being decorated with masses of crystallized lime and sili ca, while from the lofty roof hang In numerable scintillating stalactites. On the floor of the cave are hundreds of tons of cyanide gold ore, as rich as aay found in the mine proper, averag ing about $20 a ton, and one side of the cave Is formed by the foot wall of the ore body. The miners were drifting to con nect witn the main ore body, and at the end of the shift one evening last week set off the final blasts for the day.

A young matron who lives in a Washington apartment house with her little daughter is viewing with great interest a courtship going on under her very eyes. The daughter, Naomi, is the most engaging, dignified and dutiful little girl of 11 ever seen in that part of the city across the creek. So she has been taken by her mother to call upon a great many older per sons, and has made the acquaintance of numerous boys of fifteen or there abouts. Not long ago one of these boys came to see his friend's mother very formally and sat and talked with her until the tensity of a formal call nearly burst his Jacket Then he arose and with a polite bow asked for a portrait of the little girL .The matron demurred, of course. "Well said the young suitor, "it you will give me a good picture of Naomi I will give you back a picture I have already. It isn't a good one at alL But 111 give it back to you for a better one." . The mother was greatly mystified. She dedded after awhile that the boy has photographed her little girl on the sly, and in order to find out she sent him word that she would make the exchange. Next day there came to her door a long box with a note on the outside. "i am greatly privileged to send you Naomi's picture," read the note. "It Isn't half as pretty as it ought to be." The young matron opened the box curiously, says the Washington Star, and looked at its contents a long time without saying a word. It held a sin gle American beauty rose.

N ' - Aa iaterastiag story Is now. being oat of every hundred, aad that the cul tivation of optimism and philoaophy ia practically a universal necessity. There have occurred scores of doacas of cases where healthy persons have thought themselves into' aavlag fe mora aad cancers cases which admit of no doubt whatever that the dUeaeea resulted from constant morbid, fear. We should have fewer rasas of cancer if some great doctors could ensure the world that it Is not a hereditary dis ease; but morbid-minded persona on hearing that there is cancer in their families, generally do the very1 worst thing they can do under the dream stances they conceive an awful dread that they will be atUcted with it They dwell upon, the fear constantly; and every trilling ailment which troubles them Is at first taken for the premonitory symptoms of cancer.. The morbid condition of mind produces, a morbid condition of body, and if the disease does happen to be In the sys tem it receives every encoarageaieat to develop.; A melancholy thought that fixes itself upon one's mind needs as much, "doctoring" as physical disease; It needs to be eradicated from the mini, or it will have Just the same result'ftj, a neglected disease would have. aTLa" rVJk ia Twa Baadrcd Years. foreign news was the Continental pa pers, principally those of Paris, and credit was always given to the paper, "for an assurance that we will not under pretense of having" private in telligence, impose any addition of feigned circumstances to an action." The most modern thing about the Courant was its effort at accuracy. At that time various weekly papers were In existence, but their news was of no unreliable a character that the Jour nals became a byword for inaccuracy. The Courant scorned these methods and the evils of subsidised comment and, in its clean character as well as in its very existence, opened a-new era in news dissemination. The porprietor of the Courant was one E. Mallet, and it was he that first showed the practicability of his own excellent conception of a clean news paper. Samuel Buckley bought the Courant on April 23, 1702, and added advertisements, consisting chiefly of announcements of new books, such as "A Modest Inquiry Concerning the Opinion of Guardian Angels.-" Time and tide wait for no man and a woman is always behind time. Thousands of crystal pendants, some as white as alabaster, others with a golden tint seemed to be try ing to outsparkle one another in the candle light The walls, In places, glistened with their beautiful deco rations. From this beautiful crystal palace the explorers proceeded to the low er chamber. Three ladders were lashed together and lowered into the hole, but it was found that they were too short by at least forty feet The chamber is about eighteen feet square, and its walls perpendicular, as though squared by expert marble cutters. Its color is that of the na tive rock, a lime formation. It is a characteristic of this 'cave that the brilliant white crystal deco rations have gold ore as a- back ground, which serves to enhance their beauty. In picking off. spedmens the soft ore comes with them, and, as a rule, the crystallization is but a thin covering to the ore. The shortest 'way to honesty Is around expediency. told of how he was appointed to the ship. The selection of the best officer to command was felt to be a matter of great importance, and was much dis cussed in Secretary Long's office, where Captain Clark's name had been mentioned. "Has he the stick-to-it-iveness to take him clear through?" asked one officer. "Did you ever see him play chess?" rejoined another. The officials could not see the point but Captain Clark's friend assured, them that the chessboard was no bad introduction to naval strategy. It was explained that Captain Clark was one of the most brilliant of American chess players and that when he played at the Mercantile Literary Club at San Francisco, to which he much re sorted, he did so with such concen trated earnestness that he was bathed in perspiration and heeded no invita tions to refreshment This"intenseness impressed the of ficials. "If anyone." said his friend, can pilot that battlehip through the Pacific and bring her Into action promptly in the Atlantic, it's Clark!" And he was appointed and Justified his appointment PROOF OF THE LORD'S KINDNESS Caaraai f Lack t AeeeaaalfchaMata. As one of the great Atlantic liners was nearing the end of its voyage, re cently a wealthy passenger on board gave a champagne supper tojthe other male passengers. Each one" of those invited was to render payment by singing a song, dancing a Jig or tell ing a story. Among those oa board was one person who had won a reputa tion for moroseneas, for in spite of the constant stream of moss-grown tales which one is forced to listen, to on shipboard he had never tried to re venge himself by telling one of his own. Accordingly when his turn came to speak everyone listened eagerly;- "Gentlemen," said he aa he rose to his feet. "I can't stag a aoag or tell a story and I have never danced ft.

Aft er having secured many convictions under it four Justices of the appellate court decided that oleomargarine, though colored to represent butter, could be sold in the open market if It were only sold as oleo and not aa but ter. The agricultural department of the state at, once went to the legisla ture with the matter and got a bill passed through both houses on the last day of the session. The law now pro vides that colored oleo may not be sold even when sold for itself. The men In New York that are in favor of honest butter feel that they have had a nar row escape from a complete reversal of the policy that has protected them for the last several years. a The Royal Veterinary Institute of Denmark has taken up the investiga tion of tuberculosis in its dual rela tions to animals and men. As a result the institute haa issued an appeal to dairymen urging them not to pin their faith to the opinions of Koch; The ex periments have been conducted under the direction of Prof. Svensson.. The appeal declares that Prof. Koch is wrong In his contention that human tuberculosis cannot be transmitted to anli"l- The Institute professes to have demonstrated that animals con tract the disease from people, and ap peals to dairymen not to. employ con sumptives to, attend their cows. The .experiences in Denmark evidently cor respond to those In the United States. a , Massachusetts has passed and ia en- forcing a law relative to the inspection of glassware used In testing milk.

Some of the applicants for certificates as testers that were examined were "found to be unreliable, and a number of machines also were rejected. The law waa needed. Kapa far Early Sprlac Fs Each season's results at the Okla homa Experiment Station give furtaer evidence of the value of the rape plant as a source of green feed In this coun try. Not only has it proven a most de sirable spring and fall pasture crop, but a crop that will furnish a large quantity of green feed during such a drouthy summer as that of 1901. The plant lived through the mild winter of 1900-01 but the zero weather of the past winter killed all the plants. The rape plant will be one of the first plants available for feed In the spring and a large area should be put out as feed Is scarce and high priced. The value of the plant lies in the fact that it will furnish a large amount of green feed in a, short period from the time of planting. The plant resembles the cabbage in texture and color but the growth is erect and two to three feet talL Good rich soil Is necessary for a large growth and should be put in fine tilth before seeding. The plant, is proof against frost and may be seeded ,the last of, February or early March in Oklahoma. Broadcasting will do for temporary patches but if the crop is wanted to last through the summer it should be in drills and cultivated. Do not pas ture too close if continuous growth Is desired. For broadcasting use three or four pounds per acre. In drills one to one and one half pounds will be re quired.

I would state that It Is aot clear to me from this letter what partiealar- worms are present The treatment which should be used would vary accordtag to the kind of worms with which Mr. Phelps has to deal. If he will forward me some of the para sites I will eadeavor to give him same information apoa the subject His two questions can, however, be answered without waitlag for that information 1.

Whether such measures are practicable or not will depend upon the particular conditions at hand. If the turkeys are kept la yards the surface of the ground may be burned with aa oil spray, or by spread ing some straw or other material over it and setting fire to it This will greatly reduce the amount of infec tion. If, on the other hand, the tur keys roam, over large fields and It la not practicable to- burn these fields, I see little that caa be done to prevent infection. It would be possible, how ever, to treat the turkeys occasionally aad thaa expel many or all of the worms. If roundworms, are present I should be inclined to try thymoL This is one of the best drugs known In cases of infection with roundworms. The dose has not been established for turkeys, so far as I am aware, but it Is reported that in chickens a one-grain dose causes the rapid expulsion of the parasites. If the parasites in question are tapeworms Instead of roundworms, areca nut Is probably as good as any thing that can be used. This drag has the advantage also of expelling some of the roundworms as well as the tapeworms. 2. I have never heard that areca nut stunts the growth of animals, D. E.

It is second nature for a woman poultry raiser to keep the poul try house clean and more than that to keep It tidy and bright Recently the writer had the pleasure of visiting the poultry establishment of Mrs. Alice Brown of Winnetka, III. This lady is both a thinker and a worker. She has a brooder house that, we believe, might serve as a model. Moreover, it is the creation largely of her own brain. It Is about as sunny and bright inside as it is out of doors on a fine day. In ad dition to 150 active, healthy chicks re cently hatched the brooder house con tained several hundreds of flowering plants. The temperature that Is good for growing chicks Is also good for flowers. In the main poultry house the lady had her bone grinder, and a half bush el of ground bone was ready for the .fowls. It is one of the most important factors of that establishment Mrs. Brown grew eloquent as she told whst the bone grinder would do. At regu lar Intervals 100 pounds of bones are brought home from the butcher's. Tnese bones Include the ribs. The butchers' do not stop to cut out the meat from between the ribs, and Mrs. .Brown says that sometimes she is able to get off as high as fifty pounds of meat from 150 pounds of bones. This meat is fed to hens and chicks. The lady expressed her surprise that any person should try to keep poultry without purchasing a bone grinder. Plyaroath From Fanners' Review: I have in years past bred a. number of different kinds of poultry, and have selected the White Plymouth Rocks as an exclu sive breed, from the fact that their uniformity In size and color makes them as a flock present a handsomer appearance than can be obtained from any parti colored birds! As egg pro ducers I consider they stand second to none. They are not strongly In clined to be broody, as is the case with the Asiatiac breeds, yet make the best of mothers; from a utility standpoint being one pound heavier than the Wyandottes. I consider them their leaders. For the table their plump form and rich yellow skin, free from dark pin-feathers, make them a Mar ket fowl, superior to alL I consider them the grandest of all American breeds, the general purpose fowl, the fender's favorite, the gems of the show room.

One horse, named Ben. ate 14.92 pounds of say .per 1,000 pounds of live weight The other horse, Doe, ate 13.68 xoaads of hay per 1.000 pouada of live weight The average for both horses was 14 A pouads of alfalfa hay per day per M00 pounds of live weight Another test was made. The horses ate straw very regular ly during the feeding trials and It seems that they needed more carbo hydrates than alfalfa hay faratahes for a maintenance diet where the ra tio of carbohydrates should be aot far from 7 to 8 to 1 of protda. while the ratio In alfalfa hay Is little more thaa 3 to L Bea and Doe were ac cordingly put In the stable and fed alfalfa hay morning and evening aad were given, an ad liblaim feed of straw duriBg the day.

In Idaho, clover and alfalfa have made a start but range grass is grow ing slowly. Sheep end cattle have been on the summer range for several weeks, however. The shearing of sheep is progressing rapidly and satisfactor ily. Live stock are ia fair to good condition. According to Weather Bareaa cor respondents, March was a cold, windy, dry month in New Mexico, especially in Mora and San Miguel counties and vicinity, where there was some loss In cattle on account of drouth, but as a rule both cattle and sheep are la fair condition. The ranges are gettiag very dry and outside water holes are dry ing up. Haying has begun In California. Owing to' cold weather and lack of rain the Arizona season is two to three weeks Ister than usual. Ranges are in poor condition In many localities and live stock show the aeed of bettor pasturage and water supplies. thm raraato Stock F In feeding cattle, the parsnip is found to be equal, if not superior, to the carrot performing the basiaeea with as much expedition, and afford ing meat of exquisite flavor and a highly Juicy quality. The animals eat it with much greediness. It is reck oned that 30 perches, where the crop ia good, will be sulkiest to fatten an ox three or four years old, whan per fectly lean, in the course of three months. They are given ta the pro portion of about 30-lb weight morn ing, noon and night the large oaes being split in three or four pieces, and a little hay supplied in the intervals of those periods. And when given to milk cows with a little grass hay, la the winter season, the butter is found to be of as fiae a color and excellent a flavor as when feeding in the best pastures. Indeed, the result of ex periment has showa that not only in meat cattle, but in the fattening of pigs and poultry, the animals become fat much sooner, and are more healthy than when fed with any other root, or vegetable; and that, besides, the meat is more sweet and delicious. The parsnip leaves, being more bulky thaa those of carrots, may be mown off before taking up the roots, and given to cows, oxen, or horses by whom they will be greedily eaten.

There Is demand for men trained aloag agricaltaral lines, asd It cannot now be supplied. Contrary to tho general impreeslos a very large proportion of the atadeata ta our agricultural col leges go back to the farms whea they have completed their courses. The Ohio Agricultural College about a year ago undertook to find out how maay of the agricultural studeats leavtag the college west hack to the. farm. The proportloa was fouad to bo very large. A considerable number of agricultural students naturally drop into tho work of teaching. For this opportunities are constantly opening.
