the whole line was the one thing which could
have restored Napoleon's advantage at this
juncture, and he was actually rising in the
stirrups to order it, when sutler burst at
his side and covered him with dirt and debris,
and before he could recover, Wellington
opened tremendous and devastating fire up
OH him from a monst rous battery of vivar-
dleres, and the star of the great captains
glory set to rise no more. The cadet wept
while he told me these mournful particu-
lars.
When you leave battlefield always leave
it in good order. Remove the wreck and
rubbish, and tidy up the place. However, in
the case of drawn battle, it is neither par

ment of New York had bossed the fight.
When you are traversing the eneny's co IN
try, IN order to destroy his supplies aid GRIP
pie his resources, you want 20 take along
plenty of camp followers. The more the
better. They are tremendously effective
arm Ct the service, and they inspire in the Toe
the liveliest dread. A West Point professor
told me that the wisdom of this was recog-
nized as far back as Scripture times. He
quoted the vers e. He said it was IRON the

the way it reads in the old one. do not

remember that it wound up with something
about such and such devastating agent be-
ing as "terrible as an army with bummers."
l believe l have nothing further to add but
this: The West Pointers said a private
should preserve respectful attitude toward
hi superiors, and should seldom, or never,
proceed so far as to offer suggestions to his
general in the field. If the battle is not be-
ing conducted to suit him, it is better for him
TO resign. By the etiquette of war it is per-
mitted to none below the rank of a newspaper
correspondent to dictate to the general in the
field

Poultry for Farmers.

If farmers each week would tell little
about the hens, and what they are doing
they would give great deal of information,
also receive great deal, and l, for one, when
l have few minutes to spare, am going to
devote it to poultry.
l have heard a great many farmers say
there is no money in poultry. and what is the
use OF bothering with it? l can say, from
experience, there is as much if not more
money in poultry than in any other kind of
stock. Take the game fowls: they make eX-
cellent mothers, they have good meat and
their eggs bring tirst-class price; they can
also bear confinement better than any other
fowl, and are comparatively small eaters.
Now say the above-named fowls are not
worth raising. Take the Brown Leghorns !;
they are first class layers (the pullets begin to
lay at iOur and half mOnths), they are very
hardy, and can get along themselves very
well. The only fault is that they are not
good sltters.
The Plymouth Rocks make good mothers
and lay more eggs probably than any other
large breed that matches and rears its own
young. Black Hamburgs are the largest va
rety and the hardest, these two points Civ
ing them a decided advantage. They also
lay the largest egg of anv Hamburg. The
Dark and Light Brahmas, Partridge and Buff
Cochins are noted for being the best mothers,
but of these, from practical experience, the
Dark Brahmas. think, take better care than
the others. and for laying they cannot be sur
passed. All these breeds bear confinement
remarkably well, and as for having frosted
combs. they are thing no person. or at least
very few, has ever heard of or seen. | do
not mean to say the other numerous breeds
of fowls are of no account, for think that if
yon take any chicken and handle 1t right it
will give you perfect satisfaction. L hope
that farmers will be interested i'll this subject
and give few hints of practical experience.

The late Emile de Girardin was one of
the hardest working journalists of the time.
He never employed a secretary, and hunted
ND all his references himself-his articles be-

upon him. 1T deny myself to any stray

OF the total catch, 43,379,542 pounds, or
over S3 per cent. was sold to canneres.
There are 45 of these establishments, with
total capital of 81 .2S9, 900. The cost of the
fresh fish to them was $909.SlS, and after be-
ing packed in cans was enhanced in value to
$3,255,365. Evidently there must be a pref
ty good margiD of profit in salmon canning.
1t seems scarcely possible that the 1910 hands
employed and other expenses of that branch
of business can absorb more than So 900 900
of the $2,347 SAT, representing the difference
between the original cost of the fresh fish
and its value when canned, while the balance
of $347,547 IS equal to rs per cent upon the
81, ,239, 600 capital invested. OF the entire
number of canning establishments, 20 are OH
the Columbia river. California has 13, Puget
Sound and Alaska 2. There are 53 vessels
and 5,547 small boats engaged in the fisher
les: not very expensive craft, by the way; the
average value of the vessels being but
$3.50 each, and the "boats" less than $75
each. The seal fishery makes very fair show
