Mrs. Hayes on the BattleHeld.


During the war Mrs. Hayes now and
then went to 1.-THE 'front.' to visit her
husband, who was Colonel of the
Twenty-third Ohio. She was an angel
Of mercy to the sick and the wounded,
often passing days and nights in minis
tering to their needs. She was well
known to all the soldiers of the Twenty
third and no favorite General ever
evoked more tempestuous cheers than
did Mrs. Hayes when she appeared in
the camp. Whenever the soluiers want
ed to express their esteem for anybody
they didn't lift their rusty old hats
and make graceful bows-they just
yelled.
At one time, while the Twenty-third
was lying in camp in Western Virginia,
a squad of recruits Joined the regiment.
One of them thought Uncle Sans tailor
didn't put pockets enough in the sol
diers' blouses, and could not be satisfied
till he had another in his to carry the
gimcracks With every veteran despised
but which h. / not yet learned to do
without. The first day in camp he in
auired of the boys where he could get
it done. One of the wags of the COM
pany sized him up and saw at once
good chance to have a joke.
Certainly" said he to the fledgeling,
tive have regimental seamstress for
doing just such jobs as that. There she
is" and he pointed to Mrs. Hayes. who
was sitting on camp chair in front OF
the Colonel's tent. "Just take your
blouse right to her and she'll do it up
brown"
The innocent recruit stalked boldly up
to the headquarters, threw off his blouse
and handed it to her, asking il she would
put in a pocketfor him, remarking with
a patronizing air that he would pay her
we'll for it.
Col. HAYES, who was writing in his
tent, heard the young soldier and came
out. Observing the new uniform and
fresh face he took in the situation and
his eyes twinkled with merriment, but
he said nothing, knowing that his
wife was equal to any ordinary emer-
gency.
"Of course ] will" said Mrs. Hayes,
who was as quick as her husband to ''see
through it. "Come back in an hour
and I'll have it ready for you"
She set to work with scissors and
needle, and when the young patriot
called Tor his blouse ne Iounu IN IL as
nice pocket as his mother could have
made.
"How much?'' he asked, taking out
his pocketbook.
80, nothing at all! was glad to do
it for you, and you are welcome"
While the soldier was expressing his
thanks Col. HAYES came out of the tent
and thought he would carry the joke a
little farther. 3.
"Do you know me, my man3'' he said
pleasantly, extending his hand to the
soldier.
The latter, somewhat abashed by the
official presence, said he did not.
"Well. my name is Hayes, and am
the Colonel of this regiment. Allow
me, sir, to introduce you to my wife. =
The young man retired in great CON
fusion but he had the pocket in his
blouse that he wanted.
The survivors Of the Twenty third
Ohio have always entertained the warm.
est affection for Mrs. Hayes. The re-
gard has shown itself in the most EN-,
phatic way whenever she has been pres

the laughter became general and contin-

that old Yankee sympathizer in East

A Brave Nebraska Girl

Miss Mabel Peak, a farmers daugh-

Blair, and the railroad passes the Peak

Thomas Jefferson's Death Bed.

Although Thomas Jefferson was Il
slieptic he frequently spoke in the same
strain as the reputcd last words, which
were: "To God commit myself; my
daughter to my country" In his "Sum-
mary Review of the Rights of North
America" he says: "Thc God who gave
us life gave us liberty at the same time. {"
In the Declaration of Independence he
speaks of natures God and after the cele-
brated phrase that all men arc created
equal, he says, "thet they are endowed
by their Creator with unalicnable rights. 4"
The phrase that jefferson is alleged to
have used sounds very well, nevertheless
Thomas Jefferson did not use it. His last
word was "Ah." There is nothing very
striking about that, but it is the truth
,and that is one advantage. Jefferson
knew he was dying and he wanted to die
on the Fourth of July. AS the time wore
on toward morning he said to Mr.. Trist:
"This is the Fourth?" Mr.. Trist
nodded. "Ah," murmured jefferson
with an expression of satisfaction. Then
he sank into unconsciousness.-De Detroit

A PLEA FOR THE MOLE.


In one of my accustomed walks about
the city, writes Herman Haupt, Jr., in
the Farm, Field and Stockman, / last
Saturday came across specimen of the
long-nosed shrew or mole, and secured it
! for examination, the result of which has
convinced the writer that it is mistake
to destroy these animals from an economic
point of view. Being connected with the
patent Office as n solicitor, have read of
and seen the hundreds of patented appi-
ances for destroying moles, and of course
should for client prosecute an applica-
ton for new device. At the same time
feel that it is a mistake to destroy the
mole.
When I picked up the specimen re-
ferred to, 1 noticed the prominent incisor
teeth, and had my investigation gone no
further, should have set this animal down
rs rodent, and as such destructive of
vegetation. But on the dissccting table,
the specimen revealed other attributes.
| find as matter of fact, that the incisor
teeth, two i'll number, are confined to the
upper maxillary region, no such teeth ex-
isting in the lower jaw. 1 say no such
teeth. Imean no incisor teeth indicating
that the animal was or is rodent, The
incisors of the lower jaw are all small the
two in the median line being very small
indeed, like those of the cat, and the two
adjoining these being larger and of u
conical shape, and not chiscl shaped as
the rodents have them
Furthermore, the molar teeth all have
angular cusps which are more or less
conical, and SO constructed that when the
jaws are closed the molars are locked and
allow of no fore and aft motion, but do
permit of slight side play like that of
the ruminarts generally.
Again the articulation of the lower law
with the skull Is by Il ginglcform joint,
the glcnoid fossa of the temporal bone
being longest laterally; hence there is no
play to the jaw i'll forward and back
ward direction, but there is n slight play
from side to side. Now from the anatom-
ical structure of this animals dental
asmature, think it must be conceded
that he is not vegetarian in the strict
sense. That he may Inasticate vegetable
food is very likely, but am convinced
that his food is mainly animal and that
he destroys in the course of his subter-
ranean travelling more bugs, worms and
larvae of insects, that are destructive to
the crops, than the farmer Gun calculate,
and I fully believe that the existence of
the mole and his benefit to many far
mer is beyond calculation. Therefore
why destroy him2 am fully aware that
it has been the custom to consider moles
n nuisance and to vow their extcrmina-
ton, and "custom makes law" but would
it not be just to look into the matter care
fully before we have gone too far2 We
want to rid ourselves and neighbors of
all kinds of pests, but with our present
knowledge hold that no one is hardly
justified in denouncing the mole rs o
pest.

THE WASH OF 1IILLsIprs.

No farmer can afford to permit the
rain that falls on his ncwly-plowed fields
to run off in muddy torrents to the near
est river and bear with it the richest part
of the soil. AS general rule, our cult
waited fields are more rapidly cx-
hausted by surface drainage than by their
annual contribution to growing crops.
And again, when the frozen ground has
thawed few inches on top and a heavy
rain occurs, the soil is carried away in
large quantities, though the inclination
be but slight. have often known it to
be swept off by the ton just us deep as it
had thawed. And no amount of under
draining would prevent such result A
copious rain under the circumstances is
always dreaded by our farmers. Hillsides
Should mostly be used for pasture or
meadow, and only plowed occasionally
when good bluegrass sod can be turned
under. 1t may then be cultivated in corn
one season, followed by wheat or oats,
and again seeded to grass. -Kadiana

The Curious Tumble.Mccd.

Some curious information concern
ing tumble weeds" is given by
DIR. G. E. Berry in the Botanical Gazette.
Some plants grow in somewhat globular
form or assume it in drying, and then
roll over the surface of the ground in
windy weather in separate masses look
ing like moving fiocks of sheep or even
larger cattle. The Rose of Jericho is n
well-known roller over the plains of Pal
estine. Henfrey, quoted by Bessey, notes
that on the stcppes of Russia, on the
north of the Black Sea, kind of thistle
rolls in masses resembling troops of wild
horses, and in our own Western plains a
cheriapodiacecus plant is famous as a
roller. -,

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE,
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
HORSES TEETH.

In horses the teeth are forty in number,
and IN mares commonly thirty-six, be.
cause the latter seldom have tusks. The
teeth are of three kinds-the gatherers
or incisors, the tusks and the grinders.
When the foal is ten to twelve days old,
four front teeth appear, two in the upper
and two in the under jaw. In month
or SIX weeks after the middle teeth fol
low, and the corner teeth about three OF
four months afterward. These foal-teeth
continue in this state till the horse is
from two and a half to three years old,
when the first four or centre teeth are
shed, and replaced by others, called
horse teeth.-New York Dispatch.

FARM AND eARpEN NOTES.

Don't feed sloppy food to the little
chicks.
Land poor and poor land are evils to
be avoided.
Feed often and very little at time
to small chicks.
Hard workers arc usually honest. In
dustry lifts them above temptation.
Use the purest and best salt to be OBJ
tanned, as the best is none too good
Heavy rains have assured splendid
crops in western and southern Oregon
Use the eggs from old hens for hatch
ing. They produce stronger chicks than
eggs from pullets.
Never reply in kind to a sharp or
angry word; it is the second word that
makes the quarrel.
A good way to save money is to save
the means OF making it-your implc-
mcnts, for instance.
To make . good grating wax mix one
part of tallow with two parts of beeswax
and four parts of rosin.
You will make, as rule, more money,
TO buy clean new tubs, instead of using
old ones, even if they be given you.
Get as nearly as possible the desired
number of hens set this month, for July
LIST is pretty late for profitable chicks as
winter layers.
The silo, practically, is substitute for
pasturage, SO far as the succulence of the
food and quick digestibility is concerned,
without its expense.
Usually the dairymen who succeed best
are those who have obtained good rep
utation for their butter, and can COM
mand a satisfactory price, year after year.
White Wyandottes have taken strong
hold upon many farmers and breeders,
displacing the Lieghorn, Brahma and Ply
mouth Rock. They are without doubt
an excellent fowl.
Persons owning bees and not located
near streams of water, should furnish
them fresh water daily, as it will save
time, which, to the bee, means honey, as
it means money to us.
When new nest is found do not put
its contents with the fresh-laid eggs; that
is, unless you know the eggs were laid
the day they were gathered. In this way
no risk Is run Oh having poor eggs SOLD.
There are four essentials in the making
Of money at the dairy business. First,
good COWS. Second, to have them we'll
fed. Third, to have their milk well
manufactured; and fourth, to have the
product we'll sold.
Separate the layers from the others.
You cannot afford to keep old hens,
pullets, fat hens and lean roosters to-
gcther, any more than you can dry COWS,
heifers not yet in milk and fresh cows
they do not require the same food.
We wish some one in each farm home
would be responsible for the daily gath
ering of the eggs. Then there would be
less complaint in the city markets of
''stale eggs" When gathered, put in a
dry cool place, and sell at least once a
week; that is if you do not pack.
Cleanliness is the best preventive OF
poultry diseases. Rooms should be fire.

prices. Many of our wide awake formers
can make a part of their productions an
actual necessity to one or more families in
our large cities at paying prices by sup
plying these products regularly, fresh,
sweet and wholesome. l know this by
experience, for my customers often tell
me that they prefer to purchase farm
products of the producer, especially eggs
and butter.
1t is laudable for practical farmers to
experiment, investigate and produce
maximum crops, but it is more profitable
to produce the best and get good pay for

WORDS OF wIsDoM.
By othSr..' faults wise men correct the

BY othsrs faults wise men correct their
own.
Custom is the plague of wise men and
the idol of fools.
The power of doing good action is
happiness enough.
Jealousy in a loycr is homagc; in
husband an insult.
Happiness is like the echo; it answers
but does not come.
Maternal love is an instinct; but there
are instincts of divine origin,
Forgiveness is almost indifference; who
really loves does not forgive.
Seek consolation only in immortal
things; in nature and in thought.
In diving to the bottom of pleasures
we bring up more gravel than pearls.
Friendship based solely upon gratitude
is like Il photograph; in time it fades.
Friendship is constant in all other
things, save in the office and affairs of
love.
A man in love is like an ostrich; he
thinks he is not seen because he does not
see others.
Friendship diminishes when there is too
much happiness on either side and too
much misery on the other.
There is but one happiness-duty.
There is but one consolaton-work.
There is but one dclight-the beautiful.
A woman docs not become mother;
she is one from her birth. A numerous
family satisfies her vocation; it does not
create it.
A household without children is a bell
without u clapper. The latent sound
would be beautiful enough were there
something to awaken it.
Happiness when Mt distance appears

enters our door it SO dwindlcs that very
often we no longer recognize it.
