Idaho there are at present 1000, 600 of
half-breed wild horses, for which no
market can now be found.
THERE being no law in this country
against selling or eating the meat of a
horse, the department of agriculture
has decided to prevent deception being
practised by sellers, and has issued
regulations regarding the exposure and
sale of horsefesh.
HORSES are multiplying in Australia
almost like rabbits, living entirely
upon grass, and never under cover

years few hundred have become q

them are fit for the saddle or light
harness.

FARM AND GARDEN.
PROTECTING MANURE.
Webb Donneil, of Maine, Describes a New
England Method.


England Method.
l call it New England method"
lor, though it may be practiced else
where, have not in other places OBJ
served its use to anything like the ex-
tent that is to be seen in New Eng
land. This matters little, however.
The main point is to bring the value of
the plan to the attention of farmers
that now permit their manure piles to
be leached by every rain and by the
melting SHOWS of winter, such manure
heaps being usually situated alongside
the barn and directly under the caves
which may or may not have cutters to
carry off the rain that falls upon the
roofs. OF course, those who leave
their stable dressing exposed to such
conditions do not fully realize the loss
they are suffering, for it seems hardly
credible that anyone would be so ex-
travagantly wasteful If he realized
the truth about the matter. i have in
mind now one farm where for sixty
years or more the dressing of from ten
to twenty head of stock has been thus
thrown out under the gutterless caves,
and after every heavy rain during all
that time a thick brown stream has
run down from the barnyard and
coursed along through ravine till it
emptied into a river. Fully one-half
of the value of all the dressing made
on that farm for sixty years has thus
run down into the ocean. AS matter
of fact, / presume that much more
than half of the value has been lost,
for on this same farm the liquid por-
tion of the manure go per cent. at
least in value of the whole) has been
allowed to run down through the
''tie-up" floor, instead of being saved
by tight manure gutter and the use
of absorbents. 1t is just such wretched
management as this which keeps so
many of our farms run OUT and so
many of our farmers discouraged.
| There is little enough stable dressing
made on any place, and wheL this is
leached of from so to 75 per cent of it's
fertilizing qualities, it is small wonder
that the crops are meager and that
one crop seems to use up nearly all the
dressing put upon the land, leaving
little for subsequent crops of grain or
grass.
Some barns have manure cells where
all the dressing made, including the
liquid portion, can be saved; but such
barns are the exception and not the
rule. Barnyards entirely covered by
one or more roofs are excellent where
they can be afforded, but it is useless
to urge the great body of farmers to
roof over their entire yards for the
protection of both stock and manure.

Pin Recovered After Thirty Years.

A. S. Twitchell, of Gorham, N. H.,
tells an interesting war experience.
During his journey south, he and his
comrades were obliged to travel in box
cars, and he lost masonic pin, having
the square and compass inclosed in a
circle of gold and his name engraved
on the back. During the recent re-
union, very much to his surprise, the
pin was returned to him by one of his
comrades, who said that he received it
n short time ago from a grand army
man from distant state, who hap
pened to see Mr.. Twitchells name in a
paper connected with the reunion, and,
not knowing Mr.. Twitchelrs address,
sent it to the comrade to return to him

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
GETTYSBURG, 1895.

The fields OF Gettysburg are green
Where once the red blood ran;
The oak leaves throw dancing sheen
Where perishod horse and man;
The saplings whisper on the hill
Where rollpd fiery tide,
And songbiros splash the laughing rili
Whe . armies fought and died
A marble sentry scans the field
And granite cannons frown
Where dusty regiments once wheeled
Aud shot and she'll rained down;
But DER the sentry's martial face
Now sits the cooling dove,
Breaking the silence OF the place
With murmuring notes of love.
The only colors in the glades
Are those Of buds and flowers;
The swift and sudden fusillndes
Are made by passing showers.
Huge haycarts now are chariot cars,
And soldiers, boys at play;
The only camp fires are the stars,
The fiery glory, day
Thank God that all things In this life
Together move for right:
That Night and her half-sister, Strife,
Shall die in Joy and light:
That through n mystery above
His mercies ne'er shall cease:
That out OF hate shall issue love,
And out OF war come peace.

"Oh, my heart is gone. It's in the

Gen. Cosby had a mania for burning
down bridges. Whenever he heard
there was bridge in his neighbor-
hood he promptly had it laid low. His
continuous destruction of bridges sew
eral times got himself and his men in
tight places, where a bridge would
have come in mighty handy, and re-
suited in an uneasy feeling among
his men.
He moved into Virginia in the neigh
borhood of the Natural bridge, and
one day gave his men permission to in
spect the great natural wonder. Two
cavalrymen, one of n poetic turn, hap
pened to GO there together.
Isn't this the most stupendous, mag
nificent, grand view you ever saw?"
exclaimed the poetic man, grandilo-
quently. Gaze upon that landscape.
See how beautiful are the works of
nature" He continued in this strain
several minutes and finally asked the
other his opinion.
Il don't know much about its bein'
stupendous, nor any O. that sort O.
thing but I'm mighty glad that we've
found one bridge that Cosby can't burn
up"
In the regiment with Gen. Duke was
soldier named Jack Skillman, who
was a great hand at telling yarns. His
yarns were about great acts which he
said he did, but which he never per-
formed, ignoring completely several
astonishing deeds of bravery he really
did, and which really were more re-
markable than any alleged act he told
about The scene of one of his yarns
