a VIVID NARRATIVE
An Eyewitness Describes The
Famous jameson Elk
petition,

Cape Town says: Captain
Thatcher, q traveller, known in
the United States, who has
served in India and was with
Jameson's column from its
start until its surrender, but
who escaped capture, has ar
rived at Cape Town.
He tells the story to the ex
pedition in the following Ian
guage: The column started on
Sunday afternoon. We were
SEQ strong, besides there were
100 Kafirs. There were three
wagons, s Maxim, and 3 Whit
worth guns. We knew what
we were going to do. II is all
rubbish about orr thinking we
were going to fight natives.
We counted upon support
from the Rand. There was no
other column and we realized
we had no official support We
continued marching until Tues
day without pausinr. The days
were hot and the nights cold.
The first shot was fred by the
Beers, on Tuesday night. We
were 90 miles from Krugers-
dorf 1t came about coo yards

MaXims and they cleared ont.
We camped within n circle five
miles further on. We got no
sleep but ate raveuously. at
daylight we started again and
were close to Krusersdorf. when
suddenly we were fred OF from
all sides.
WE FOUGHT ONLY PUFFs SMOKE
The Beers were ambnshed and
we could not gel at them. On
Wednesday evening a thousand
Beers appeared on a ridge.
Concealed Beers continued fir
ing from every direction. We
could not charge, but when the
Beers persisted under the fire
Of our guns. we followed them.
We were compelled TO retreat.
We were under n hot fire all
might. We camped and slept
in the saddle We were tired

push through the Beers lines
at any cost and escape.
"At dawn of Thursday we
were fired at heavily from The
village of Tluifpr. My horse
was shot from under me-. Horses
and men were falling on all
sides of the hill, where we stood.
We were holly engaged on all
sides with 1000 iutrenched

being three cents an acre per

.Dalrylng in the South.

A contributor to the Philadelphia Farm
and Fireside, who has recently made an
extended journey through the south,
says Of the dairy industry: "Most excel
lent openings exist in the South for dairy
and stock farms. Butter commands
good price. The winters are not long or
severe. The numerous springs provide
an abundance of pure water for stock.
Midsummer is tided over by soiling.
The advent of the cream separator no
longer admits Of any difficulty in secur-
ing the cream and the markets are not
yet half supplied. The few dairy farms
already established are proving very sat-
isf&ctory; yet some years must pass be-
fore the business can be overdone, for
the native farmer is loath to give up cot
ton. Then, too, the rapid development
of railroad and manufacturing interests
is opening up new demands for provis.
ions of all kinds. The South has a glo.
rious future before it, and he who pre-
pares now to share in it's prosperity will
reap a golden harvest"

The South for Hom9 Seekers.

The south is now attracting more at
tention from home seekers and capital
lists than any other part of the United
States. The farmer is finding out that
by reason Of low prices of fertile lands
and genial climate the south is the
place for the husbandman. The capt.
talist sees the natural advantages for
manufacture, where factories can be run
every week in the year with profit IN
the midst of an lnexhaustible supply of
raw material. Indeed, in no country on
earth can the home seeker and capital
ist find such wonderful advantages and
attractions as in the south. Here bet
ter results can be had for the money
than elsewhere. More northern people
are coming south to live than have come
during any year heretofore. The ad-
vantages Of south are being realized, and
the northern and western men are COM
ing without delay. Nowhere can good
living and comfortable home be made
more easily than in the south,-The
Forum.

Food Authorizations.

Less than one-half of the 5000 sam
pies of drugs taken from shops in all
parts of the country and examined by
the New York State Board of Health,
were found to be pure or could be rated
as good, says the Youths Companion.
I'm Pennsylvania the commissioner
of the department. of the dairy and food
found aduteration in long list Of ar
ticles. Java coffee was the name given
to wheat and barley hulls roasted with
sugar. Ginger was found to be adul-
terated with ash, rice hulls, rice -four
and cayenne pepper. Grated pineapple
had in it starch waste and salicylIc acid.
An article sold as maple sugar was made
of glucose diluted with water. Butter,
cheese, lard, tea, preserves, spices and
other articles sold as pure showed that
the adulterators had been at work. This
is not only fraud Of mean type, but
a grave menace TO the public health. "

Weaving a Calf.

The weaving of calf calls for little
skill, by the exercise of which much
after-labor and some possible annoyance
may be averted. 1t is the natural in
clination Of the calf to suck, but if this
is never permitted the tendency to the
habit is stopped and soon forgotten. 1t
is quite possible to teach a calf to drink
milk instead of sucking it when it is
few hours old, and at its first meal. It
is then plastic and teachable, and has
nothing to unlearn as a calf las that has
been permitted to suck the cow few
times.
This training is far better for the calf
and the owner of it, as well as for the
cow, for the regular milking of cow
tends to increase the quantity of the
milk, while the irregular sucking of the
calf tends the other way. The calf that
has never sucked loses whatever nat
ural tendency it has to this habit, and
afterward it will not become nuisance
to its owner by sucking cows
10 teach calf to drink, take some
fresh warm milk in clean pail and of.
fer it to the calf. 1t may be that if it is
hungry 1T will drink at once, and after
a few attempts will drink with ease
If not. the two fore6ngers should be dip
ped in the milk and put into the calf
mouth. The calf will take the milk,
and then, having the taste of it, will be
eager for more. Then the Calls head
may be gently pressed down to the milk
SO that, while 1t is still sucking the fin
gers, it will draw some milk to it's
mouth. This is continued, taking time
to lead the calf kindly in a way it is de-
sired to 60, until after a few attempts it
will drink easily. To help matters the
calf is to be removed from the cow be-
fore it has sucked.-Amerlca Farmer.
