The Bivouao of the Dead.

Inc blvOu8c Oh the De8us
Below the city,
Where the green, new soldiers come
And shock the air with sound of frequent drum
And pitch their tents upon the springs first
sod,
There rests another army-with its God.
Beyond the hills,
Along the slope that shades the rivers deep.
At rest in leveled graves ten thousand sleep,
And some are named. and some are marked
unknown.
Each has his number and his year in stone.
Within the tents
The living soldier dreams Of honor's field,
OF men who fight who die, but never yield.
He sees his face within a sculptured niche;
He dreams of title fine: he dreams that he is
rich.
An age ago
These rotting soldiers had their dreams like
this.
With eyes that cleaned and lips that loved to
They marched beneath the flag they would de-
fend,
And now they lie unknown bitter end.
We pass along
The serried ranks Of white and springs first
green,
With room enough for kneeling place between.
The heart is full; the eyes are brimming wells
The hero's pay-the homage fame compels.
Homer Bassford.

Our cattle are gaining in popularity
with foreign customers, the exports of
beef cattle having increased materially.
On the other hand, those of beef, either
fresh, canned or sailed. have failed to
show any increase. In most cases de-
cided falling off is noticeable. The ex-
ports of beef cattle during the first ten
months Of the fiscal year amounted to
$40, 1888, against 810,47S in the CORE
spending months Of last year. The
value in the ten months of 1898 was
$50, 35s, 1913, against $2S, s66, 703 in tho
corresponding months Of last year.
Fresh beef in the same period fell from
242, 1853, 034 pounds in ten months Of
1897 to 227, 434. 373 pounds in the cor
responding ten months of 1898. while
sailed beef showed fall of SO per cent
for the year, and canned beef dropped
from 46. $40, COG pounds In the ten
months of 1897 to "a, oil, 1919 pounds in

Shropshire Sire.

The first and most important point to

ly, close, dense fleece of medium
length and fine staple. If the ewes are
of large, coarse character, the ram
should be the reverse-fine in his bone,
but stylish and attractive in appearance
but if, on the other hand, the ewes are
small and. fine, then larger and heav-
Ter ram will be required. 1t is not the
ambition of Shropshire breeders to get
their pet breed to the size of an Oxford
or Hampshire or as small as South
down.
However, in either case the ram
should have straight back, wide loin,
well sprung ribs, shoulders well put ON.
with the tail set ON level with his
loin; neck short and thick, head mas
culine in appearance and well supplied
with wool down the nose and no tend
ency to grow horn; wide between the
ears, which should not be heavy and
dropping. but small, fine and erect;
wide nostrils and prominent eyes. The
face should not be of too black char
acter, but slight shade of brown. Legs
should be we'll outside of the body, with
wool from the toes. There should be o

no tendency to peel about the jaws or

For Humanity.

Not for the pride of arms nor in base greed
Nor with the hope of an exalted name
Do we unsheathe the sword with blade afiame
For action. IT'S the strongest, clearest creed
For which Columbia's valiant sons will bleed
The love to brother man, of sacred fame.
Christ taught it while he healed the sick and
lame,
And shall woe at our portal vainly pleada
II blood be spilled that steadfast calm and
strength
May enter in where war and tumult rage,
II new dawn illume the Cuban sky
With light Of peace. from hearth and shrine at

A fervent land shall pray that God assuage
Her grief at death for wronged humanity.

TYM PANlTIS.
a Disease From Which Hundreds Of CaS-
tie and Horses Die.

A Disease From Which Hundreds OF Cae-
tie and Horses Die.
Every year, says The American Gull
tivator, there are hundreds of cattle and
some horses die from the trouble known
as tympanitis, hoven or bloat, which
last name conveys a good idea Of the
nature of the disease, which is an accu-
mutation of gas in the stomach or
paunch. The cause may be eating too
much green clover, growing grain or
grass, particularly when wet with dew
or fog or frost or by such fodder cut
down and partly wilted and in some
cases by having eaten too much meal,
brewers grains or distillery slops, as
when an animal gets to the bin and
greedily eats its fill. Partially decayed
roots may cause it, or the presence Of
some obstruction in the gullet, that
causes partial choking.
The breathing is hard, with means as
IL choking, the eyes bloodshot and
staring, and the body swollen, most
especially in the left flank. and death
will result in few hours or sometimes
in less than one.
IF choking is the cause, the obstacle
may be removed, either by finding some
one with hand and arm small enough to
reach down the gullet after it and take
it out, often not very difficult, if it is
an apple or root, or it may be removed
by pushing it down with probang, for
which a whip handle if stout enough is
not bad substitute; by crushing it
between a block and mallet or calling q
surgeon to open the gullet and take it
out.
If it is caused by food fermenting in
tho stomach, place the animal so that
the fore feet are the highest, to take the
weight of the stomach off the lungs.
Put bit or stick in its mouth, stretch
ing it open we'll and pour buckets of
cold water ON the back, from some
height, to cool her and check fermenta-
ton. Very likely the shock may start
the gas upward, and even some of the
food with it, and the open mouth will
enable it to be discharged, giving relief
quickly. A dose, two ounces of baking
soda dissolved in pint of warm water
and turned down, will check fermenta-
ton, and it will be better if half
ounce of ginger or of carbonate Of am
monia is added, or even two fluid
ounces of extract of peppermint. These
doses may be given once an hour if the
bloating continues, but if they fail to
result in an escape of the gas and no re-
lief comes it will be necessary to pune
ture the paunch, using a trocar about
one-quarter to half inch in diameter if
it can be had, although we have seen it
done, and well done, with common
jackknife.
