WHEN JOHNNIE MARCHED HOME.

IT'S nearly thirty years ago, I'm eighteen sixty
one,
4 was little shaver then, and thought 1t only
fun,
TO sec q thousand musSets CLEAN, and hear the
bugles play,
'whilo mother stood, with shining eyes, and saw
John march away.
But when the bugies' piping ceased, and oil the
street grew still,
And mother drew me in the house, came romp-
ing in our Will
Whisting; when Johnnie marches home,"
then mother sat and cried,
I hadn't seen her cry since our little Danny
died.
And while watched her, hafperplexcd, she
whispercd MY son,
II Johnnie ever marches home, none knoweth-
only Onew
And after that we hushod the song, and hushed
the boys at play,
Who shouted out, in sport, the words we could
not bear 10 say.
For still, whenever mother heard the chorus
free and bold:
-''when Johnnie marches home again." her
warm hand clasp grew cold,
Her lips grew white and trembled, her steadfast
eyes were dim;
Though not word our mother spoke, we knew
she thought OF Aini.
And strangers stopped the jolly song that
passed her on the wny,
! Saying: Her boy is at the front, God keep all
harm awayw
! For her hands were always busy, her feet were
ready, too
TO help the poor, aud cheer the sick, as all such
mothers do.
So days and weeks grew into months, and
months grew into years,
And many mothers face waxed pale, we were
well used to tears.
But Johnnie yet was safe and sound, soldier
brave and true,
Our mothers shining eyes were proud, anc
Wits and nine were, too.
IT'LL, one day, while she waited came the
bugles up the street
Playing merry, martial music, TO the tread o
marching feet.
And as the tune struck on her ear, she shiveret
and sat still.
"when Johnnie marches home"-the bugle'
played 1T with will.
And nearer came the voioes-'Ah, heart!
welcome then
We'n give him when he marches home. Hur

GRAIN FEED.
Prof whitchcr's Experiments and TheiF
Results.

Results.
With linseed in 1886 I found that IL
cost three-fourths of cent per quart
more to produce milk with linseed than
with gluten. So far as the richness of
the milk is concerned ii depends upon
the COW first, and the balancing of the
ration second. 1t is the whole ration,
hay, ensilage, grain, etc, that de-
termines whether the food is we'll
adapted to the production of milk, and
the substitution of one grain for another
will have very little effect ordinarily on
the quality. A ration must have
proper ration between its albuminoids
and non-albuminoids. Cottonseed,
gluten and linseed are closely alike in
their characteristics in this respect. All
have large per cent of albuminoids
and are admirably yaadapted to supplying
just what our common folders like hay
straw, corn fodder and ensilage are de-
fcient in.
There is widespread belief that tho
richness of milk may be varied with
about the same ease that the quantity
can be, but this is an error, provided
well-propor Sioned food is given. From
a ration of clover hay and corn meal
ration may be made up that is we'll
balanced for the production of milk,
but ensllage and corn meal are not
capable of giving the right ratio. How
ever, ensilage and cottonseed or gluten
or linseed can be made to be identical
with that of the clover and corn meal,
so far as actual nutritive matter is con-
cerned, and one will produce just as
rich milk as the other. Or one-half
clover hay and one-half oat straw may
be taken, and by substituting cotton
seed for part of the corn meal, a ratio
producing identical results may be
made from this combination.
Here are some rations for 900 lb-

The machine records the words, and tho

Planting IN Orchard.

Although not claiming to be an ex-
perienced orchardist, L have observed,
says writer in Popular Gardening,
some things that L think would be of
value to me if / should plant an orchard.
In the first place, 1 should put the trees
into plowed ground. / should keep the
ground plowed several years, till the
trees came into bearing, cropping it all
the while lightly, but putting in each
year more plant nourishment than L
take out, thus laying in reserve fund
for the support of the trees in years to
come. Then 1 would lay it down to grass,
but keep the grass from growing for sew
eral feet around each tree by mulching
quite heavily each year after haying,
with leaf mold, compost, etc. In the
meantime I would keep the ground well
up with liberal top dressings Thus
managed | do not see the necessity of
blowing much if any in the orchard,
after it has come to maturity, and it is
certainly not convenient to do so among
low trees such as believe in, and thus
managed, we shall find that no crop
comes easier into our hands than the
apple crop. An orchard where both the
land and the trees give good showing,
even though the apples bring but one
dollar per barrel, pays a per cent on tho
capital invested that any merchant
would be proud Of in his business. WhaS
way is there to earn dollar any quicker
or easier in horticulture than to pick
barrel of applos from low tree?

Great Credit Due to Western Troops-A
Record of Blood.
Colonel William i. Fox, in his recent
ly published work, "Regimental Losses
in the American Civil War: A treatise
on the extent tand nature of the mortuary
losses in the Union regiments, with
statistics compiled from the official
records" has given among other new
and interesting historical matter a series
of tables showing the number of officers
and men who were killed or mortally
wounded in each regiment and battery
Of the entire Union army, also the mum
ber of deaths in each regiment from dis
ease, accident or other causes. These
records indicate the amount of active
service performed by each regiment as
compared with others, as shown by their
relative loss in action. OF course tha
casualties of battle would in some in
stances he no fair measure of the service
rendered by n command. There were
regiments which on certain occasions
rendered efficient and valuable service
in battle and accomplished important
results with only n small loss of life,
but in the long rum in the successive
campaigns OF four long years of desper-
ate fighting, the losses as shown in
these tables will naturally be accepted
by the student of history as proper
standard in measuring the comparative
services of the various regiments. Scars
are the best evidence of wounds, and a
long roll of honor" bespeaks fighting
regiment.
From an examination of the maximum
regimental casualties for each action,
as shown in Colonel Fox's work, it" ap-
pears that in the prominent battles OF
the Western armies the following regi-
ments led in point of maximum losses:

1t was of course, to be expected that
in the Western armies, composed en-
tirely of Western troops, Western regi-
ments should have sustained the heav-
lest losses and done the hardest fight
ing. But it now appears that in the
Eastern armies, also, Western regiments
fought their way to the front with GUS
tomary pluck and heroism. On the field
of Gettysburg the heaviestloss fell upon
a Western regiment, the Twenty-fourth
Michigan, Colonel Henry A. Morrow,
having sustained the largest number of
casualties of any regiment in that bat
tie. This gallant command marched on
the field with % officers and 46S men. OF
this number it lost 50 killed, PAT wound
ed Gncluding the mortally wounded),
and AZ missing; total, 1868. Twen-
ty-two officers, including Colonel Nor
row, and seven color-bearers were kill
ed or wounded. The Iron Brigade"
composed entirely of Western regiments,
is also credited with the greatest loss of
any brigade on that famous field.

number enrolled, it sustained during it's

tie of any regiment in the Union army.
AS this regiment was never routed, and
as its officers never blundered, it may
fairly be inferred that it encountered
the hardest fighting in the war, and its
services should be recognized according
| ly. AS the record of this regiment
stands for the full measure of heroism
among the 1000 or more regiments of
the Union army, the figures given by
Colonel Fox in connection with it are in
teresting. The Second Wisconsin, Colo
mel Lucius Fairchild, had total enroll
ment of 1,203 officers and men (includ-
ing non-combatants), of which number
23s, or 1917 per cent, were killed in bat
tie. In addition there were 515 who
were wounded and 1872 missing or cap
tured. In other words, if the non-com-
batants be deducted, over three-fourths
of that regiment were killed or wounded,
to say nothing of those who died of dis
ease.-Chicago News.
