QUIET SUNDAY
 AT CAMP THOMAS
Only Work in Progress Was Sup plying the Regiments
 With Stores.

Chickamauga National Park, July IT, This was a quiet, beautiful Sunday at Camp Thomas. About the only work in progress was that of supplying the regi- ments of the First corps with clothing and ordnance stores. In addition to the large quantity of ordnance stores handed out for distribution yesterday, two carloads of am- munition, a total of 9OO0OO rounds, and more than hundred boxes of general ord nance stores arrived today, and were promptly handed out for distribution in the First corps. Colonel Rockwell also for warded to Charleston a quantity of ord nance stores for the First brigade, which recently left here under command of Brig adier-General Ernst as a part of Major General Wilson's expeditionary force.
 General Brooke is expected to return from Washington in one or two days. The troops will continue to hold themselves in readiness. and will promptly respond to any order that may come. It was an- nounced by an officer of the First Illinois this afternoon that that regiment had been ordered to be prepared to break camp on Tuesday.
 Some of the regiments, anxious to lose no time because of the probability of an early order to move, did not cease target practice today, and in portions of the res ervation rife reports were heard from morning till night, but all drill work was suspended, and religious services were held in most of the regiments.
 Colonel Huidekoper, chief surgeon of the First corps, received advices from the sur geon-g general today that full equipment of srrgfcal instruments and medical chests for the corps are en route to Chickamauga.
 The reports from the various hospitals yesterday and today were of most hope ful nature. The fever cases are confined in the main to a few regiments.

ARMY MUSICIAN DIED
 FROM TYPHOID FEVER

Atlanta, July T.-Washington Darrow, chief musician of the Tenth cavalry, whose home Is said to be in Illinois. died today of typhoid fever at the hospital at Fort McPherson. He will be buried at the Ma tional cemetery at Marietta, Ga-, tomorrow with military honors.
 The other patients are doing well and although a great amount of work has been put on the limited force of nurses, the sick are receiving adequate attention. Ten Red Cross nurses have arrived, and are rendering valuable aid. One hundred and thrty-fve hospital tents are being put up on the parade ground, greatly enlarging the accommodations. The demands of the general hospital upon the space at the res- ervation have rendered necessary the re- moval of 5000 recruits. They will be taken to Waco, Ga.

 GENERAL. TORAL HEART-BROKEN. The articles were signed yesterday af- ternoon after a four hours session of the commissioners, who agreed that the terms of equalization should await the sanction of the Madrid government
 General Toral, the white-haired com .mander of the Spanish forces, was present throughout the session, and appeared to be utterly heart-broken. He spoke bitterly of the fate which compelled him to sue for peace, but not against the gallant men who had conquered his army. He declared that he had little chance to win. T would not desire to see my worst enemy play with the cards I held" he said to one of the commissioners. Every one of my generals was killed or wounded. I have not single colonel left, and am surround ed by powerful enemy. We have count ed sixty-seven ships off this port.

Joe Moran Arrested on the
 Charge of Burglary.
BUCKETS OF A SMALL BOY
Do Not Contain a Greater Assortment of Arti- cles Than Was Found on the Per- son of the Prisoner--Wil
 Be Tried Today.

Mounted Officer Sam Hamilton made an important arrest yesterday afternoon. which it is thought, will cause at least temporary cessation of the numerous bur glaries which have been committed on the South Highlands of late.
 It was reported at police headquarters at 2:30 o'clock that the residence of G. S. White, in Avenue H, between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, was being robbed and Officer Hamilton immediately went to make an investigation. He discovered the alleged burgler in a vacant cottage opposite Whites residence and was com pelled to kick the door in to effect the arrest. After getting inside the room he had quite a tussle with the man before the latter would consent to be taken into custody. He made several attempts to draw pistol. but did not succeed in doing so.
 The man gave his name as Joe Moran, and claims to be a Frenchman. He was carried to the police station with his plum der and MT. White was summoned to iden- tify the goods, which he did.
 Perhaps there was never a greater va rlety of stolen plunder taken from the person of one prisoner In the history of the Birmingham police department. It ranged all the way from pistol to box of tooth powder An empty paint bucket. gallon jug. and a glass fruit jar were among the lot. In addition to these there were needles, buttons, a razor, underclothing, trinkets of various kinds, a hammer, clothes brush, an unopened laundry package, and various other things too numerous to mention.
 The police think that Moran is respon- sibIe for many robberies that have occurred in the past few months. He will be trieA this morning.

A PLAN re REMOVE MINES.

 Throughout the campaign before Santiago owing to, poor facilities of communication and utter inability to see from the ships what was going on ashore behind the hills there has been some lack of cooperation between the army and navy. It is now known that twice since Sampsons pennant has flown outside Morro castle, an expedi- tion to blow up the mines in Santiago har- Dor has been almost ready to add another chapter to the annals of American naval heroism. The first time this was frustrated by Admiral Cervera's dash and the second time by the truce which General Shafter arranged with General Linares. Naval officers and surgeons with experI ence In tropical countries and their feyers suggested strongly the burning of all the houses at Siboney the moment the troops iaiioed. Ineir advice was not acted upon, however, until three weeks later, when the yellow teVer had already broken out in one of these houses. At Guantanamo the nrst thing Commander McCalla did was to burn everything, and there has been no fec yer there.
 The blockade of southern Cuban ports will be maintained more strictly than ever, Santiago will have only small force for "NA SAiASA ShSyt taS uO ptockdQe VIII eKlSt there. The armored ships are coaling at Guantanamo. preparing for more serious work.
 SEVERAL SHIPS NEED DOCKING. If the president intends sending a fleet to Spain, the opinion of naval officers here is that several of the ships should be dock ed and repaired before going.
 It is not treason to say that one of the battleships has been in the water sixteen months, and that other ships are corroded by the southern waters and have been cruising and in frequent action without the rest that modern men-of-war require even in times of peace
 As one distinguished naval officer said, 'If the thing Is worth doing, it is worth doing well. To clean the ships would take only short time. If hurried off to Spain laithough, of course, do not know that this is ntended), may break down, embar. rass the whole fleet and greatly reduce the speed of the ships which are in good con- dition.
 ITO my mind the time spent in getting the fleet into proper condition for such an important undertaking would be 6oubly repaid by the results.''
 ROBSON WILL PASS JUDGMENT Lieutenant Hobson last night went to Rio Tarquino to again inspect the Cristobal Co., lon The Merritt Wrecking company report that it is impossible to float her. Naval officers are inclined to believe that there is a chance of saving this splendid ship, and no effort should be spared to do SO. Lieutenant Hobson. in his capacity as ah expert on naval construction, may be able to suggest some plan by which the Cristo- bal Colon may be added to the American navy

Poultry Notes.

Warmth is life for young chicks.
The guinea Is the most prolific fowl
we have.
Feed plenty Of skim-milk; 1t will pro-
mote egg laying.
Fowls do better IL not kept in the
same yards continually.
Accumulating filth in the quarters Is
a prolific source Of disease.
Roup usually comes from having
damp or draughty roosting places.
The objection to cellars for poultry
is that as a rule they are too damp.
If the growth of the little chicks is to
be pushed they must be kept warm and
dry.
Mate up your fowls two or three weeks
before the eggs are wanted for inCuba-
ton
When goose eggs are set under hens
they should be turned half over every
other day.
Lousy hens are the cause Of much de-
bility, sickness and death among young
fowls as they hatch out.
Feed grain as portion Of their food,
but do not give it to the exclusion Of
other kinds; feed a variety.
When we'll fed young chicken grows
very rapidly and is not easily made fat,
and can usually be fed four times a
day in order to fatten and grow rapidly.

Breeders for Winter Chicks.

With the right kind Of an incubator
there is little trouble about Matching
winter and early spring chicks. But to
rear them is another thing. Too many
undertake it uneQuipped for the busi-
ness. Hens do not take good care OF
chicks in cold weather. for they refuse
to attend to the "cuddling" part Of their
duties, no matter how closely confined
They grow restless, and in daylight hours
refuse to hover the chicks except at in
tervals and at such times as best suit
themselves, regardless of the pleadings
Of the chicks. For this and for other
reasons we dispense with mother-hen
service, and turn with all faith and as
surance of faithfulness to the brooders,
that brood them at any and all times
It is always warm, and chicks can return
from their runs at any moment and cud-
die down to warm little toes and cold
little bodies without first crying them
selves hOarse in pleadings to an obsti-
nate hen that picks at them and scolds
at them because they want to be moth
cred. Wehave read of"OTphaned chicks"
and "desolate little brooder chicks" ETC.,
but we felt no wave of pity or remOrse
in the reading.
We happen to have raised enough Of
brooder chicks and chicks also with hens
to know about it, and Of all veXatious
things an obstinate, fussy hen that has
assumed maternal cares and then con-
tinually grumbles at her fate" as a
mother is the worst of all that we have
ever undertaken to deal with. And we
have had a great many of them to con-
tend with. An occasional hen proves
devoted mother, and gives herchlcks the
proper care. But we prefer not to trust
even the very best Of them in cold
weather.-Nellie Hauks.

a conclusion that the farmers knew from
experience years ago.
Thus science has analyZed every kind
of food that the dairymen have been in
the habit of feeding to their cows, and
the result is that the wisdom of expe-
rience has been emphasized. Most Of the
intelligent dairymen have not had to
change their cow rations to conform to
the conclusions Of science. Corn is con-
ceded to contain all the fattening quail
tiles that the farmer thought 1t had. So
also have been grass and succulent en-
silage been analysed, and proved be-
yOnd doubt to be the chief milk-mak
ing foods that could be given to the
cows There is also some value in corn
stalks and other coarse feed. The nutrl-
mep1 is comparatively small, but the
st,mach can better digest the fine, heavy
grain food when properly mixed with
coarse food. All of this the farmer has
found out from experience.
1t is little flattering to have men Of
science come in and confirm old accepted
views, but there is the danger of some
reaching the conclusion that after all
science is of little real value to the
farmer Science would be false to its
mission il it did not recognize truth,
even though it had been previously
guessed at by fool years before.-W. E.

A Farm Dog,

This well-authenticated story comes
from Cass county, N. d. A large, intelli-
gent Newfoundland dog, Don, and a fine
specimen of his race, was with one Of his
farmland friends in potato field all one
forenoon last spring. The man was
planting; had furrowed out his patch,
was dropping the seed by hand and COW
ering with hoe. Don gave close atten-
tion to the work, as if he were there to
supervise it. The man was called to din
ner when nearly a row of dropped pOta-
toes was uncovered. He left the work to
be finished after dinner, but was greatly
astonished upon his return to find that
during his absence Don had nicely done
nearly all the unfinished work, but few

Sweet Peas.

Sweet peas, although not the most
profitable crop to grow, are, however,
a crop that is very desirable. To obtain
the best results that Is possible you
must give them good care and good
cultivation, and they will amply repay
you for all the labor you give them
You must select your seed, picking
out such varieties as are free to bloom,
and have long stiff stems, and which
will have at least three florets to
stem.
For favorable location for planting,
a piece OF ground that is apt to retain
its moisture through the driest Of sea-
sons is preferable, and stiff soil rather
than a light one. The edge of peat
meadow is an excellent place, but must
have been cultivated before; new land
is not at all desirable; If such piece
of land is not proCurable, be sure and
plant where you can easily water them
in case of drought.
After you have selected your ground
and it has been plOwed and smoothed,
you should dig trenches at least a
foot deep and about the same in width,
leaving a space of four feet between the
trenches. In the bottom of these trench
es spread manure to the depth Of four
or five inches; well-rotted COW manure
is preferable, as it retains its moisture
longer than any other kind; II you can
easily procure some manure from a
chicken or pigeon coop to mix with 1t
the results will be very perceptible later
on. Cover this manure to the depth
of two inches with well-pulverized soil,
working in with it little pure wood
ashes. Then SOW your peas in two rows
one on each side Of the trench, being
careful not to sow them too thick, vast
ing seed and spelling results. A single
vine that grows stout and vigorous will
give better flowers than several weak
ones, which is the case when planted
too thickly. Cover carefully to the
depth Of four inches and firm the soil
well with tamper or your feet; a
good firm soil holds moisture better
than a loose one. This leaves your
trench little following, which is nee
essar% in case you have to water them.
The next thing Is brushing, which can
be done at the time you SOW your seed,
or when the plants are one or two inches
high. When it is possible, good old
fashioned brush is preferable, but where
it is not obtainabIe good stout stakes
and No. 10 galvanized wire is the best
substitute, or strong string may be used
when the wire cannot be had. The
stakes should be about ten feet apart,
and fully six feet out of the ground.
The wire should be stretched taut and
spaced about six to eight inches.
Peas planted In this way, kept clear
