When Sylvester Scovel, who was
sent to DillOnville to investigate the
coal strike for the World, finds that
the miners have been paid an aver
age of SIG a year, or 49, cents a

eral and Ohio in particular need a
religion that will keep in working

The Valuo of a Horse.

Prof. Oscar R. Gleason, the ia
nous horse trainer and tanner, in q
recent lecture before large body of
horsemen and farmers, made this re-
mark: eff horse is worth $3.50, it
is a recognized fact that $25 is about
the actual value of the horse, and
1925 is the value of his h~vlng been
trained to mans use." Prof. Gleason
has trained and brc KIN more horses
than any man in the world. he has
subdued the most famous vicious
horses in this aud other countries
and has been subs.ant: ly recog-
nized by the U tied s. IS govern
ment for his wonderful 5 rvices IN
training horses for the cavalry and
the artillery. His system is simple
ity itself, but extremely effective,
and the beauty of the system is that
it can be applied to any horse by
any one.
We have made special arrange
ments with the publishers of Prof.
Gleason's famous book, which has
always sold at $3.50, and can supply
a limited number to our subscribers.

of wealthy enemies who are using and
fattening off his property.
But we pass the asylum and approach
Giesboro Point. This little wharf, as l
was saying, is the remnant of the great
landing places for Camp Stoneman dur
ing the war. 1t was cavalry dismount
camp. That is, the sick and wounded
cnvalrymen from the army of the Poto-
mac were sent here for final rest and re-
cuperation, after they began to con-
valesce in the hospitals, before they
were sent to their regiments for duty
again. You know the cavalry corps of
the army of the Potomac was divided
into three divisions. The dismount
camp was similarly divided. The men
were sent to the divisions to which they
belonged to the field, and when fit for
duty, were returned to their regiments
down this same Potomac river.
This excursion steamer we are on IL
the Mary Washington. During the wa7
she was hospital steamer, or, as she
was then termed, Hospital Afioat."
She carried no less than 10000 sick and
wounded men from the front, at Har-
risons Landing, White House Land
ing, City Point, and other base hospi-
tails, to the hospitals in Alexandria and
Washington. She has been remodeled
since that time, and is now good ex-
cursion boat.
Camp Stoneman extended clear back
to the hilltops there, and the officers
quarters were elegant. Here, on the
lawn, they used to hang Chinese Ian
terms at night, and with music by the
post band they would swing the pretty
Washington girls through the mazes
of the popular dances. Here they were
all "play soldiers" but the men had all

Table Scraps Make Eggn.

There is no feed for hens that is bet
ter than table scraps of every kind.
Pieces of bread, scraps of meat, parings
of vegetables, and all such bits as are
usually wasted, if fed to hens will be
returned in the shape of eggs. We have
found from experience that the scraps
from a family of six will furnish feed
for 12 hens, keeping them in good con-
dition the year through. This means
that the scraps from the table of such
q family are worth 1SO dozen of eggs.
The 12 hens were kept in yard 25 feet

Drain the Farm Cellar.

Wet or damp cellars mean foul air.
and consequently diphtheria, malaria,
rheumatism and bronchial affections.
Before the fall rains come on, have drain
tiling laid outside, and a foot below Tie
base of the foundation, and run it di-
agonally across the cellar, connecting it
with the outside and street drains This
drain must have no connection with
sewage, kitchen slops or surface water,
and ought to be well below the frost
line. The cellar floor and walls should

for the foundation walls, it is well 10

the drain laid at some distance from

pile of red stone, on the bluff over the
eastern branch of the Potomac, is the
St. Elizabeth hospital for the insane.
Ut is a government institution, and is

tunates as well as cranks of Washington
arc in that asylum. There is Col Burn

formerly one of Washington's foremost
citizens. In the same asylum is Col.

1t on his active brain, that he had been
swindled out of untold millions by
Tom Scott, the great railroad king.
Many time and oft have heard Pinch
over declaim for the delectation of the
little crowds Of curious people in the
hotel Hobbies, demanding the return of
his money from Scott and all other rail
road thieves, as he expressed IL. Once
he was induced to believe that he had

further hardships. They deserved their
little play days.
Over there to the right, that steeple
which you see peeping over the Alex
andria hilltops is the tall tower of
Fairfax seminary. Fairfax seminary
has n history; war history, too. In
the offices of the surgeon general there
are records showing that no less than
100000 sick and wounded soldiers were
treated in Fairfax seminary general
hospital. After the battle of the Will
derness, on May SIS, 1864, when the
hospitals of Alexandria were full, Fair
fax seminary was thrown open to the
sufferers and was fitted up as hos
pital; and here the poor fellows were
brought, many of them famed into
life by the breeZes from the Potomac,
which always sweep over these hills.
And now we are passing sleepy old
Alexandria, with her grass-grown
streets. There are many historical OBJ
jects in the old town, which we must
see some day. There is Christ church,
with its unchanged pews, wherein wor-
SHIPPED George Washington, of Mount
Vernon, and Robert e. Lee, of Ar

gallant and foolhardy Ellsworth was

was in turn shot down by Sergt. Brow

Do you see that little bit of an island,
no bigger than mans hand, down the
river about half mile? There is one
tree on it and about ten feet of gress
on either side of the tree. 1t is about
20 feet square. That is Craney island.
Only few years ago it was a splendid
island, containing about is acres of
good ground, with house and out
houses upon it. The last purchaser has
lost his investment. Gradually the Po-
tomac has eaten and swallowed the
island All that is left in sight is the
tree which you can see. That used to be

Timothy grass is often sown on sandy
soil, not because it is especially adapted
to it, but because sandy soil is not easily
seeded with anything, and timothy,
which can be sown late in summer and
all through the fall succeeds rather bet
ter than the grasses and clovers sown in
spring. All sandy soils are deficient in
mineral plant food. Timothy does not
require much, either of phosphate or
potash, until its seeds begin to form. 1t
does not need one-quarter as much of
these minerals or of lime as does clover,
and as its roots run near the surface it
is manured chiefly by the ammonia
gathered by falling rains in their pas
sage through the air. When once seeded
with timothy, the grass will remain in
sandy soil until it is starved out, and
mcsses take its place.

Young stock for Chi1dren.

Every boy on the farm should be
given young animal to raise for him
self, he to attend to it and be induced
to take an interest in its progress. He
will thus early become fond of animals
and of farming, and will be more recon-
ciled TO farm life when he is grown. The
boy who leaves the farm for the city is
the one who has never had any oppor-
tunities and looks upon farming as
drudgery. Labor becomes a pleasure
when there is something to strive for,
and the early education of the boy on
the farm should be by giving him an
interest in something. All children love
young stock and pet them.-Farmers'

nemedy for Lice on Hogs.

A well-known veterinarian gives the
Rural World the kerosene emulsion
formula, as the best all around remedy
for lice on hogs. 1t should be applied
through sprinkling can, and if the
sides and bottom of the pen are given
good spraying also, it will help ma
terially in ridding the hogs of this
troublesome pest. The emulsion is made
as follows: Hard soap, one-half pound; (;
boiling water, one gallon; kerosene,
two gallons; dissolve the soap In the
water, add the kerosene, and churn with
pump for five or zen minutes. To this
add 20 parts water, to one of the emul-
sion when it is ready to be applied on
the hogs.

HINTS FOR STockMEN.

In training colt to harness never
work it beside a sluggard or worn out
horse, but rather by "a quick, active,
steady horse.
Keep the old sows that have proved
themselves good breeding animals as
long as they continue to farrow good
litters of thrifty pigs.
In commencing to feed new corn to
hogs it is best to commence with a
light ration at first and gradually
increase as they get accustomed to
eating.
With all stock intended for market
it is an item to crowd the feeding now,
n better gain in proportion to the
amount of food supplied can be Sc
cured now than later.-Farmers Union.
