Mating for Broilers.

II is not necessary to keep lot OF
ROSTERS in the flocks. They are not
only useless and expensive. but also
quarrelsome, says Farm and Flresloe
1t has been demonstrated that hens VIII
lay as many eggs if no males are WIN
them as when they are present. One
effect of having the ROSTERS win ali
the hens is that the farmer is less care
full selecting eggs for Matching, oeing
inclined to use eggs collected from the
whole flock. This should not be the
case. What should be done, in ordeI
to secure strong and healthy chicks, IL
to select about dozen of the best hens
and mate them with choice male, u.s.
ing only eggs from the selected flock.
AS the Matching season with incubators
is nearly here. for producing broilers.
the farmers will, by the adoption oil
this method, know what kind Of chicks
to expect, and what they should be
when ready for market, but If he does
not mate flock for the purpose, using
the eggs from all of the hens on the
farm. his chicks will be of all kinds,
sizes and colors, with no uniformity.
and will be but lot OF mongrels OF
which he knows nothing and cannot
expect good results therefrom.

In 1870 Boston book publisher (not
now livlng) published a school history
OF the United States that was loyal tc
truth in it's statement of facts of the
rebellion. This book was once used in
the Boston public schools and in a
great many other schools in the United
States. The last edition of this book
was printed about 1877, and was used
for several years thereafter. In 1880
this school history WIS used even in the
public schools of Washington, d. C.
The author OF this truthful history
was Boston man, of course. He has
recently died, and his name was l.. C.
Campbell. The writer never saw the
author nor the publishers of this truth
full little history Of the United States.
The fate Of this book is singular proof
Of the way in which mercenary and
grasping publishers can completely
change public opinion from the fixed
facts of settled history in regard to the
rebellion, and be made to believe false
hood to be historical truth. Now, the
school book publishers have large
money interest at stake to keep things
as they are, reckless Of historical
truth.-Boston Grand Army Record.

A Wartime Romance.

Prof. II. Newell Martin, who has
just died in England, and who for
many years had the chair of biology in
the Johns Hopkins University, Balti-
more, was the second husband, says
Town Topics. of the once famous Bal
timore beauty and belle, Miss Hetty
Cary, whose romantic first marriage to
Gen. Pegram was an affair Of import
ance in Richmond in the days Of the
war. Gen. Pegram was killed in battle
three weeks after the marriage, and
his beautiful widow remained devoted
to his memory for years, finally sur
prising her friends by choosing Prof
Martin, man many years her junior
AS Miss Hetty Cary she had been not
only beauty, but in her zeal in the
cause Of the confederacy she had many
adventures; was accused OF being a
spy, crossed the lines several times,
and once was secluded in Baltimore,
where she dared not appear in the
street. except in the deepest widows
weeds. Her choice of this disguise
seemed prophetic of her future sad
fate.

Soldiers on Wheels.

In the month of September last the
people Of Helena, the capital of Mon.
tana. were surprised to see riding
through their streets party of eight
colored soldiers and a white officer oil
the United States army, all mounted on
bicycles. They were weather-beaten
and covered with the dust of the hills
and plains; and they carried great
weight of rations. blankets. tents
cooking utensils and extra tires and
parts of bicycles, besides rifles and
thirty rounds of ammunition to every
man.
These wheelmer were detachment
of the Twenty-fifth Regiment of United
States Infantry. They had come on
their wheels from Fort Missoula. by
way of Fort Yellowstone and the Ma
tional Park, having covered altogether
distance Of eleven hundred miles in
twenty-five days. In the meantime
they had made and broken camp in the
rain, ridden through mud, sand. dust
and water. and over rocks, ruts and
stones, they had crossed mountain
ranges and forded streams-in fact,
they had stopped for nothing. Much OF
the distance had been rough riding in
every sense of the word.
The journey was really made to test
the question whether the bicycle is
suitable for such military purposes as
1t would have to serve II used in west
ern campaigns. 1t was not test OF
rapidity. but Of durability.
The eight soldiers carried everything
necessary to an actual campaign in an
enemy's country. Baggage, arms, am
munition. rations. blankets. tents and
spare apparatus made, in fact,
such a load as ordinary bicyclists
would think It impossible to carry over
good roads. But these men were COM
mon soldiers, and in no sense experts
on the wheel.
No such test OF the bicycle has prob
ably been made before. The military
tests Of the wheel in Europe have in
volved no riding over so rough and
mountainous country to such a dis
lance.
The machines and the men stood the
work we'll. No man and no wheel broke
down, though to the wheels certain
amount Of repair was, of course, neces-
sary. Lieutenant Moss, who command
ed the expedition. regards it as entirely
success, and as demonstrating the
utility OF the bicycle for actual mill
tary purposes. He believes that soon
every regiment in the army will have
its bicycle corps.

place that day, and Cheraw with forty

Mr.. Byers. who relates that anecdote

personal recollections of Sherman
March to the Sea" through the swamps
and woods and over bridgeless
streams. The general shared all the
privations and hardships of his SOL
diers-sleeping under a tent fly" and
in his uniform. One night Sherman
and his staff lodged in a little deserted
church they found in the woods. The
general himself would not sleep on
the bit of carpet on the pulpit plat
form. Keep that for some of you
young fellows who are not we'll" he
SAID, laughingly as he stretched him
SELF out on long, hard bench. When
the army reached Goldsborough half
the men were in rags. One day a di-

with him personally, and at times with

style of living, which meant army ra-
ions and such chickens as his cook
could forage. with sleeping under a
NY pitched in the woods, showed the
men that their privations were shared
by the commander, and made them
ready to go anywhere and do anything
he might order. There is official rec
ord that one division waded through
swamps, and forded thirty-five rivers,
where the cold water often reached to
the mems waists. While thus floun-
dering through swamps this division
bullt fifteen miles of corduroy wagon
road, and 122 miles of side road for
the troops. The horses and mules OF.
ten f1oundered in the bottomless roads,
became discouraged, gave out and died.
Then the men took their places, and
dragged 10000 wagons, besides ambu-
lances and batteries, for miles. The
soldiers had caught the enthusiasm OF
their general.-Youth's Companion.

ACanadian paper says: Last wear sor,o
Dig profits were made on shipping Ca
madam dead poultry to England. and
those who expect to duplicate their
good fortune this year have been buy-
ing heavily in Ontario, and paving
pretty good prices owing to the COM
petition between buyers in securing
the very choicest stock. Last Christ.
mas In Manchester and Liverpool and
London, says the Trade Bulletin. Ca
madam turkeys, weighing from Is IN
~ pounds each. sold at prices which
netted shippers a clear profit Of 81 90
to $1.5O each bird. OF course less nrof-
Its were made on smaller birds: bu,
1t Is well-known fact that turkeys
chickens :nd geese shipped from Can.
ada last year made exceptionally good
prices on the Christmas markets, II
Is reared by some that the purchases
on this side may be overdone this year
and the large shipments be too much
for the demand. American buyers II
seems. have been competing with Ca
madam buyers in the Belleyille and
Rockville sections. and as high as Zoe
to l01sc per pound has been paid for
choice turkeys, &c to &c per pound for
choice chickens. &c for geese. and &c
to SC for ducks. But Of course these
prices were for selected stock. prepared
specially for the American and Eng
fish markets. For tho English mar
kets the birds are not piucked; but
their feathers remain ON after being
