Yesterday was the social day of the veter-

THE HYMN.
Comrades while in peace we muster
In the old campt by the sea,
May our hearts be filled with gladness,
friendship, love and charity;
Meath our country's flag we gather,
Grave old flag of liberty.
As defenders we'll salute it.
The fair ensign of the free.
Cheerfully we greet each other,
Here we'll fol- m again the line,
Loves fraternal ties unite US
Win strong bonds, almost divine,
what though party, creed and faction
May with hatred rend a part,
Yet 1t finds no place for Judgement
In comrades loyal heart.
In our hearts war memories 'waken
On these glad reunion days
Mage hat
Sombre hued or in bright rays
Those dark days of war and bloodshed
From our land have passed away:
Now a Reunited. nation
Thanks to God we are today.
On through various scenes and changes
We have tTamped along life's way,
Here we II halt awhile and bivouac
On the old camp ground today:
Earthly pleasures will not tarry,
Well enjoy them ere they fly,
Soon. too soon, the hour approaches
When we all must say goodbye.
Down LIES western slope we're marching
Fast towards the setting sun,
Though defeats We may have suffered
Yet there's victories to be won;
Let us then take on fresh courage
L1te's tough battles to renew.
BY and by well all be mustered
With the boys who wore the blue.
Camp will be broken Saturday, but some
of the veterans may remain even longer.
They have had delightful time this week,
and their reunion is one of the pleasantest
ever had.

The New Lancaster.

Mr. Griffith and We HERALD man
made a visit up beyond the depot, and
we took him MP into the mill top to
show him the beauties of the New
Lancaster.
Mr. Griffith was enthusiastic and
caught the in splration Of the scene for
be immediately suggested that the city
should purchase that nice property be-
longing 10 the PhIlo Stephens estate,
including Bushnell Hollow, with its
rocks, springs, rills and beautiful trees,
and have the whole thing laid out for a
public park. He caught the lake fever
too and advocated the building of
dam across the hollow so as to form
beautiful lake. While the city may not
act upon the idea, it is good one Just
the same, and the time is not far dis
tant when it would be fortune for the
city to have such n park and public
drive. We want water works, more
street improvement, and electric lights
or an equivalent, in fact we need them
if we would be heedfuI to Lancaster's
interests, for these arc all attractions
that draw people to town, give it
standing in the state and increase the
values of all property. Lancaster
has many natural attractions and these
have fed it SO far, but our neighboring
towns are waking up and forging to
the front through the force of individual
effort and public improvements. Mr..
Griffith is right about the park bust
ness, others are right about the street
business, still others are right about
the electric light business, while still
others are right about the water works.
Now what we need is for all of us to be
right about some one thing and then
get at it and finish it up. Why stand
We here idle?

boiled eggs for two or three days and
then changing to whole wheat and
cracked corn, we found they did much
better and one seldom died, except by
accident.
We once thought air-slacked lime
was good thing to throw around the
poultry house. until the turkies were
nearly blinded with it and the fine
particles melted irritation in the nos
trils of the chickens. then we learned
by experience that dry road dust was
much better.
One of the greatest mistakes people
generally make is in not Matching
their chicks early. Late Matched
chicks must be fed nearly a year be-
fore they begin to pay for their keep
ing, but if they are Matched early,
they will begin laying early, and two
or three dozen eggs during the first
winter cuts down the expense very
nicely.
The subject Of contamination stuck
in our crop for several years and 1t
did appear that one cupulation would
affect for long time. We find the
eggs grow in the ovary till full size of
the yolk, then they break loose and
pass down into the egg-ovaduct, usu-
ally there are four or five eggs at a
time in this passage, and while there
they receive the vital spark-the
white, the lining, and the shell.
Therefore the sixth egg the hen lays
will be found to hatch true to the
mating. w H. ROSE.
