Maj. Reynolds maiden name was
ArapeIla Macomber. She was born in
Shelburne Falls, Mass, in 1843. When
she was fourteen years old she moved
with her parents to Iowa, which was
then wild and unsettled country. Two
years later she went East to complete
her education, and upon her return
taught the first school in Cass county.
Iowa. In April, 1860, she was married
to Mr.. Reynolds, and with him she
moved to Peoria, ILL., Rumors of the
war were already rife, and on the first
anniversary of her wedding day the
North was thrilled with the news that
Fort Sumter had been fired on.
Mr. Reynolds, who, with three other
young men, had determined to he tha
first to enlist in case of war, was.
among the first four enrolled in Pc
ora, enllstlng among the Seventeenth
Illinois three months men. and soon
was ordered to the front. In the fol-
lowing August Mrs. Reynolds decided
TO join her husband, who was then in
camp at Birds Point, Mo- She arrived
there on the 18th. Three days later or
ders came to break camp, and the
steamer chancellor transported the
troops to Herculaneum, Mo.

At Cape Girardeau the regiment went into
garrison duty for a month or so. The battle
OF Frederickstown followed, and in it Mrs
Reynolds tasted for the first time the horrors
OF war. During the battle she remained in
the rear, suffering the anguish of uncertainty
as to the fate of her husband. Twice thera
came news that her husband had been
wounded mortally at the front, but later she
found the report was false. When the battle
was over she went on the field ministering
to the needs of the sick and dying.
For three days and nights she worked
hourly with the wounded and dying She
made no distinction between the Blue and
the Gray, and it seems that she. as well as
Miss Barton, might well lay claim to having

heavy task finished when the battle Of Fort
McHenry took place. and again was her
strength taxed to the utmost. Then came
orders to take up the line of march vUhitbor
no one but the leaders knew. No tents or
camp equipages could be taken on the Jour
ney, and Mrs. Reynolds was not permitted
10 accompany the troops. The next news re-
celved was the capture Of Fort Donelson

been while sitting with her head resting for

she would be again aroused to care for the
wounded.
On this day Gov. Yates, of Illinois, arrived
accompanied by corps of physicians Among
the latter were Drs. Guth and Colburn Of
Peoria, her home, men who had known her
a year before as blooming bride. They were
shocked by her changed and haggard appear
ance and insisted upon her returning home
for rest. Too worn out and feeble for re-
sistance, she assented to the plans they made
for her to return on the following day with
the gubernatorial party in the steamer Black
hawk.
Twenty members of her husbands regi-
ment, all of them severely wounded and
some OF them going to die, were on the
steamer. Naturally, the battle Of Pittsburg
Landing, of which she had been q witness
was the chief topic Of conversation. She was
called upon to answer many questions and
gave such an accurate description of the en-
gagement that Gov. Yates exclaimed as she
concluded
Why, this woman is more deserving Of a

Why not give her a commission, them"
asked DR.. Colburn.
Gov. Yates called for a blank commission
and for pen and ink.
Two weeks later, rested. but far from re-

she showed the commission to the boys, did

AGRICULTURAL HINTS N
CAPoNIZING TABLE
a Subject of Great Interest to Farmers
Living Near Cities,

Subject of Great Interest to Farmers
Living Near Cities.
About four years ago, through the,
influence of an intimate friend, was
y oersuaded to experiment inc small way
9Th capons. The departure was prac-
y ;ally new thing for me, and it was
W. y some trepidation that I entered
INT it, but now, after knowing CT its
mel IS and its few if any disadvantages.
l wonder that caponizing is not better
known and more widely practiced than:
1T is. Anyone with little enterprise
can successfully perform the operation,
and grow capons to perfection, and
once having given it trial, they will
never fail to caponize all their cockerels
that are not desirable for breeding pur-
poses, and thus be able to furnish their
table with delicacy which our wealthy
epicures of the city prize very highly.
The operation, says writer in the
Orange Judd Farmer, is performed on
table made for the purpose, about
feet high and 11a feet wide by long.
The bird is placed upon the table as in
dictated in the accompanying cut, the

legs being secured under the padded
lever (a) at the operators right, and the
wings by the loop Of strong cloth (b)
attached to the lever (c) at the left and
coming up through the hole in the left
center of the table, passing around the
wings. The weights on the two levers
should be in proportion to the size and
strength Of the bird; then after pluck
ing a few feathers from the side of
the cockerel just in front of the thigh,
cut a slit between the last two ribs,
well up towards the back, and after
adjusting the "spreader," the operator
can see what remains to be done very
plainly. Some cut only one side, but I
prefer to work from both sides, as it
is much more convenient, and usually
takes no longer.
Some care should be exercised in per-
forming the operation lest the large
artery following along the backbone
is ruptured, since that would cause the
Immediate death of the chicken; still
there is no loss, for he only provides us
with good broiler! Then, too, another
thing to expect is from Is to Is per cent.
"slips"-these are cockerels on which
imperfect operations were performed,
and as they mature the comb grows,
and to all appearances they are ROSTERS.
Possibly the most important factor of
all in successful operation is having
the cockerel at the proper age. I am
better acquainted with the Plymouth
Rocks than any other breed, and with
them about 31A months seems to be the
proper age. Those breeds which mature
much earlier, like the Leghorns, should
be operated upon much younger, while
a Brahma could possibly be caponized-
when five or six months old, and not
have much danger attending the work.
AS soon as caponized the chicken
should be given all the ground feed and
drink it wishes, for it is hungry, since,
in order to facilitate matters, the cock
erel should be tasted about 80 hours
previous to the operation; in three
days time the wound should be healed
over, and in two or three weeks it would
be quite difficult to find even scar.
Now we have bird that will put on
flesh at surprising rate; the meat is
of delicious flavor and very tender
and juicy, and with the same amount
of feed, a capon will weigh about third
more at given age than if left as
rooster. It is well worth the trouble to
have the noisy young cockerels trans
formed into quiet, lazy bird, even if
we were recompensed in 10 other way
but the price to be obtained for capons
is what pleases the grower of them
most of all, as the regular quotations
range from six to ten cents above the
ordinary chicken. well remember the
first year engaged in this department.
of my poultry work, when sold 20
capons averaging eight pounds at IS
cents per pound, one of which dressed
91a pounds, and a well-known lawyer
paid me $2.37 for the same. So we see
the advantages are threefold-a better
price, larger bird and quiet bird.

WEIGHT Or CATTLE.
II Has. Steadily Increased Since tho be-
ginning OF the Century.

-. ....sf Il
IT Has Steadily Increased Since the Re-
ginning Of the Century.
IA the beginning Of the century about
to close cattle were dressed at the
weight Of 400 pounds net, or less. In
1880, as was stated by an historian and
:statistician, they were killed at weight
of&450 to 500 pounds, at four years Of
age. In a few years from now the great
bony frame and bulky carcass of the
Texas steer will have disappeared, and
instead of these we will have the short
horns, the Angus and the Herefords, or
their grades.
it's surprising how early in life calves,
when raised by hand, will learn to eat,
or rather lick up. If calf is weaned
directly it has drawn the milk once or
twice after birth, and is taught to drink
milk from the pail, it has no further use
for its dam than to have her furnish at
first new milk, and, subsequently all
the skim milk it can assimilate. At
four weeks old it will lick salt, if taught,
and dry bran. At six weeks of age
handful of cornmeal may be added,
and so on until a year old. OF course it,
should have Tin season) all the good
pasture grass it can consume. Raise all
your calves. At six weeks of age geld
your males. One year on my farm I had
bakers dozen of calves. They drank
at proper age, all the milk in any shape,
and then they were fed half bushel
of corn and cob meal, and I never had
finer lot to turn out to pasture the next
spring. They were large and in fine con-
dition &S &%#
The American people eat much meat.
It always was abundant; but either we
export too much, or we do not raise
enough, for in these days it is neither
cheap nor good. The mechanic and the
laborer. cannot afford to buy much at
the prices at which it re!ails; and yet
the quotations run from $3.50 to $500;
hence it should come to the consumer
at lower rate than it does at present
The country butcher cart is seen in
the lanes and on the farms as often as
needed, and presumably the farmers
have beef at reasonable rates. Besides
he can, If he manages correctly, have
lamb, a pig, or some fowls, and need not
starve for want of fresh meat.-Chas

IN THE POULTRY YARD.

Asmall flock, with plenty of room will
thrive and the hens will lay better than
a larger, crowded flock.
When the hens are crowded they must
compete and struggle with each other
for room on the roosts.
Black feathered fowls have white
skin. White skinned fowls usually sell
at less price than yellow-skinned
fowls.
A filthy drinking fountain will breed
disease sooner than anything else, and
easily becomes foul when large num-
Der of fowls drink from it.
Young ducks drink water every day
when eating. They should be supplied
with all they can drink in a convenient
place while they are eating.
Carbolic acid is poison, and too much
should not be used. Ten or twelve drops
in a quart of water is enough. For
cholera double this quantity.
When the wings are cut the feathers
do not renew until the bird 1nolts. but
where the feathers are pulled new feath-
ers will appear in q short time.
IF the laying hens can be fed as soon
as they fly down from their roosts and
again just before they go on the roosts
at night this is all that will be needed.
Give the hens as much liberty as pos
sible now. It is natural for them to
forage. They will lay more eggs on the
food that they pick up than If kept in q
yard and fed well. st. Louis Republic

MODERN STOCK BARN.

Novel Construction Is Shown in the De-
sign Here Illustrated.
The silo has changed the entire CON
ditions of feeding on many farms.
Bulky fodder, for which much barn
room was needed, has been largely re-
placed on these farms by the condensed
ration of ensilage. A radical change
can thus be made in barn construction,
for, with the silo, immense storage
room for hay and similar fodder II not

required. A somewhat novel construc-
ton is shown in the design of barn
that is presented herewith. The wall
space around three sides is used for
stock, while the space over the stock
the scaffolding--c be used for hay
and fodder, this being slowed away
with hay fork. The center of the barn
is taken up by an immense sjlo, or a
double silo, the center of the barn offer
ing the greatest height for the accom-
mediation of the siio. A cellar is needed
under such barn, so that manure can
be dropped through the floor. If the
cellar is not possible. the manure can
be wheeled out in a car arranged to run
behind the cattle. Make the foundation
grout wall and cover the sliding with
heavy paper. Shingles over this will
keep all very warm within. If more
fodder is required than can be stored
upon the scaffolding, a stack can be
made outside,--N. Y. Tribune.

Telling q Horses Are.

"The popular idea that the age of q
horse can always be told by locking at
his teeth" said veterinary surgeon on
Michigan avenue, "is not entirely cor
rect. After the eighth year the horse
has no more new teeth, so that tie tooth
method is useless for telling the age Of
o horse which is more than eight years
old. AS soon as the set of teeth is COM
plete, however, a wrinkle begins to APP
pear on the upper edge of the lower
eyelid, and new wrinkle is added each
year, SO that to get at the age Of horse
more than eight years old you must fig
ure the teeth plus the wrinkles. - Chi

GRINNELL THE NEXT TO TRY
Dubious Outlook for n Victory Over
the Husky Iowa
Boys,

To say that the university rooters
were disappointed yesterday is but put
ting it mildly; they were disguised.
Before the game every Minnesota man
would have backed the team against
Grinnell and given odds, but it is safe
to say that they would be very leary
of putting up any money on the game
now. What was most heartrending to
the roOters was that Carlton should
score against the varsity team. They
could excuse the low score of Mime
sofa, but that Carlton should get over
the line was too much, and now there
is grief in the camp of the Ski Nah.
The result is practically a victory for
Carlton.
The game opened with a kickoff by
Price, of Carlton. LOOMS got the ball
and made fifteen yards before downed.
Then Bagley smashed into the line for
another fifteen, and Minnesota's gains
ended there, forcing her to kick. The
ball went into touch, and when LOOMS
put Harrison on side, the lanky end
fell on the ball, and Minnesota's first
touchdown was scored after a minute
of play. Harrison failed on the goal,
making score 40.

thirty to one Of the most prosperous
societies of its kind in the city. The
society was founded eight years ago
in little frame building at No. 446
Dakota avenue, but in the course of a
year was forced to seek new quarters
in the Minea building on account of
the increase in membership and the
demand for more latitude in gymna-
SUM work. In 1891 it was decided that
still larger quarters were necessary and
arrangements were made to have a
portion of Paul Martins hall built and
equipped for the special accommoda-
ton Of the society. At present the or
ganization has an active membership
of seventy-five and a gymnasium con-
tanning over $1,000 worth of the most
improved apparatus.
Following President Hadlich's ad-
