LINCOLN AT GETTYSBURG.

-Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this continent
a new nation, conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in great civil
war, testing whether that nation, or
any nation SO conceived and so dedi-
Gated, can long endure. We are met on
u great battlefield of that war. We have
come to dedicate a portion of that field
as final resting place for those who
here gave up their lives that that ma
ton might live. 1t is altogether fitting
and proper that we should do this.
But, in larger sense, we cannot dedi-
cate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot
hallow, this ground. The brave men,
living and dead, who struggled here
have consecrated it far above our poor
power to add or detract. The world
will little note or long remember what
we say here, but it can never forget
what they did here. 1t is for us, the liv-
ing, rather, to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who fought
here have thus far SO nobly advanced.
1t is rather for us to be here dedicated
to the great task remaining before US
that from these honored dead we take
Increased devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full meas
ure of devotion-that we here highly
resolve that these dead shall not have
died in vain-that this nation, under
God, shall llavc a new birth of freedom
and that government of the people,
by the people, for the people, shall not
perish from the earth.-Lincoln's Get
tysburg Dedication Address, November
~. 1864.

A GLAD DECORATION DAY.

On Decoration day the little moun-

lively kept step to martial music and
whfte-robed girls conscious more of
the part they took in the ceremonies
than of the real significance of the
day. The entire population was abroad
enjoying the pageant, and an old SOL

Footsteps echoed from the back of
the house and an old woman opened the
door.

She looked listlessly over his head.

The Grandeur Of the Day.

A nation may be judged by it's holi-
days, and to no nation can come a
grander day than the one we celebrate
now. A day chosen when nature is at
its loveliest, when flowers unfurl the
colors of the flag and blue skies bend
lovingly over the last camping places
of those who wore the blue. Not a day
of mourning this, but of solemn rejoic-
ing. Rejoicing for the men who knew
not seltishness nor fear and SO obeyed
their country's call. Men who lie to-
day, perhaps, in alien graves, their only
personal monument a numbered head

OBSERVANCE OF THE DAY.

Memorial day is for an observance,
not celebration. 1t is sacred to the
heroic dead. The distinction between
it and other American holidays is very
clear. Thanksgiving day, Christmas
and the Fourth of July are all days of
rejoicing. The first two have divine
character whose influence should be
more marked than it is upon the char
acter of their celebration, but the
Fourth of July is very properly set
apart as the date for the noisiest and
most enthusiastic demonstrations of
patriotism. New Years day has come
to have no great significance. It is lit
tie more than So day off," and the ma
ture of its celebration is a matter of no
moment.
But Memorial day, says the Chicago
News, stands apart from them all. We
should not forget that it is primarily
a commemorative of death. The sor-
row that it evolles may be softened by
time and the patriotic observances it
suggests may divert our thoughts to
the glores of our country, but nothing
should be allowed to interfere with the
essential solemnity of the festival.
This is the view that is taken bv
those people who arc indignant that an
anniversary so sacred to them should
be made the occasion for a grand ac-
cession of racing, gambling, cock fight
ing and similar alnusements.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-fonr
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kid
neys. When urine stains linen it is
positive evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urlnate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out
of orI.

One brotherhood rules all the land,
One nation day and night,
AS side by side again we stand
Like those who scale q height
And looking down across the fields
When autumn pours her horn,
We bless the largess peace now yields,
The cotton and the corn.
No more shall these our banners be
In strife fraternal raised,
From lake to gulf. from sea to sea,
This message far is blazed:
I'VE mourn our dead. our loved and lost.
With tears for all who fell;
The blue skys depth. the gray stars hest
Shall be their sentinel
For Lexington and Concord town
Still In the distance shine.
And Washington still marches down,
And ruthless Brandywine;
And Grant and Lee In silence rest,
To put all feud to scorn,
While spring from out the battles breast
The cotton and the corn.

We believe that usually as fast as
the corn is husked out the stalks should
be only left day or two if the weather
promises to be fine and be~then at once
drawn to the barn, 1t may be supposed
that while there is still SO much juice
in the stalk there will be great danger
Of the stalks fermenting, But if the
stalks have been free from rainfall for
aweek before all the heating they will
get will only make. the outer coating of
the stalk less hard and will therefore
enable the stock to eat a greater portion
OF it We have seen cows greedily eat
stalks from the NOV in winter that had
termented even to the point of mildew-
ing, while stalks thrown loosely on the
scaffold and which had never reached
fermentation were dry and tasteless.
The truth is that the outside of the
cornstalk is so hard that some fermen-
tation is an advantage to it, We are
used to saying that all fermentation i'm
plies some destruction of nutrition.
This is doubtless true in the silo. But
making the stalks easier for stock to eat
much more than compensates for the
waste caused by II slight fermentation

If any one will moisten gill of corn
meal, it will be noticed that large
quantity of water will be absorbed
This water is not taken by the fowl vol
unfairly, but through necessity, in order
Il accept the food offered Naturally
the fowls drink but little water, and
but small quantity at time, unless
deprived of it for quito awhile. When
the crop is packed with soft food and
digestion is slow, decomposition begins,
being FASTENED by the animal heat of
the body. When the fowl consumes dry
food and must seek it, the first portion
is digested before the last enters the
crop; hence when it drinks there is but
portion of the food eaten moistened
and the crop is never full. This matter
nas been alluded TO before, but it is one
which should attract attention and re-
seive consideration. To give soft food
when it is necessary to do so is correct,
tut such food should be given only in
limited quantities, and the ground food
ihould be given dry in the trough, if
iossible, instead of forcing moTe water
IN the birds thnn they really require.
