the story of the rough riders as it comes
from the lips and pen of Edward Mar
shall, the war correspondent who went
in with the front line at Las Guasimas.
At first thought it might seem that
Marshall's conduct in the battle was
| foolhardy; that. not being a fighting
| man, he was not called upon to expose
his life in the way he did The terri
BILE fate which was the penalty of his
daring has led to comments upon his ac-
| ton.
Marshall's own story is that he had
| not intended TO 90 into battle that day
nor any day. He witnessed the bonn
bardment of Daiquiri and saw the
havoc made by shells. the killing Of
| Spaniards and Cubans, and felt that it
was a duty he owed TO his family to
take proper care of himself and assume
no needless risk No battle was expect.
ed at Las Guasimas, and for some rea-
son the staff of the paper represented
by Marshall was short handed just at
the time the troopers marched forward
to look for the enemy. Wishing to have
his paper served as well as Others whose
men were at the front, Marshall took
it upon himself to go as far as the next
man, whether soldier or correspondent.
Therefore he kept pace with the fore

among the very last on that part of the
field to catch a Mauser bullet.
This il Marshall's story of the first
wounded officer he saw that day. Says
| he: II had gone to the left with Colo
mel Wood and F and d troops. The first
wounded officer | saw was Captain
James II. McClintock of b troop. He
was leaning propped against tree on
the backbone Of hill which was as
clearly defined as the buttress Of a

lower left leg and / have never seen

seemed to be very cheerful and was

! Since then the captain has told me
about one of his troopers who, after
McClintock had been forced 20 lie down
by exhaustion, came and lay close be-

! McClintock. It's too hot.
" Don't worry, captain, the trooper

SELECTING SEED CORN.
Solely on Account of Its Being
Near a Standard.

My father practiced selecting his seed
corn at husking time. His first rule
was TO choose the upper ear on stalk
having two or more good plump ears.
A few of the inner husks were left ON
the ear to mark 1t for saving, when put.
ting the corn in the crib. When all the
seed was collected, the ears were braid
ed into large bundles and hung up to
dry, out of the reach of mice or rata
The second rule of selection was mora
useful than the first. He chose only
tie ears set close to the stalks, havinga
short footstalk and small or medium
sized shank at the end of the cob. Such
ears husk easily, as the cob breaks close
to the corn and the husks cling to the
footstalk and not to the ear when husk-
ing.
Following these directions we always
saved large supply of seed corn, and
the type o. ears and corn and ear-set.
ting became noted and Uniform. Many
hills Of corn having two stalks would
yield three ears each, and where there
were three or four stalks in hill often
all but one of them had two ears each.
Prolific bearing was the rule. And this
was clearly produced by constant, per-
sistent selection following one line.
At the same time the ears were set close
to the stalks so that the weight Of grain
was balanced. Thus storms would not
so readily tangle and twist the crop.
or carry 1t down to the ground.
know of farmers to-day who have
been saving their seed on another line
for many years. They choose the long
est ears to be found, without any regard
to the stalks or footstalks. The result
has been to establish type Of corn
with one long ear growing on long
footstalk, attached to the main stalk
low down, often close to the ground,
so that when cutting the corn the foot
stalk is cut and the ear is thus sepa-
rated from the stalk, and has to be
picked up and put in the stout. And
when the ears are not thus cut off they
hang down and drop TO the ground and
become watersoaked or rot by the time
of husking. These long. dropping ears
often bear down so heavily that the
stalks are carried to the ground early
in the season and cannot fully mature
the crop.-Conntry Gentleman.

THE TWO FLOWERS.


There was q flower within my garden
growing; Eff
Ia form and color dellcately fair;
And fragrance from its petals ever throw
ing
1t flied with sweetness all the morning
air.
One night the frost stopped suddenly from
oerhead.
The morning sun arose-the flower was
dead.
I had wife who grew for years beside
me;
None sweeter or more loving could there
be;
Soother and friend. whatever might be-
tide me,
Through varying fortunes clinging close
to me.
One day the darkening clouds hung over
head;
There came a frost-at nightfall she was
dead.
Sweet flower! Dear wife these blossoms
of existence,
One in the garden. one within the heart,
Bloomed for my gladness with a fond per-
sistence,
Till frost and death had hidden both de-
part.
Yet rises in my soul the hope to me,
Both shall rebloom within the life to be.

If possible to avoid 1t. After the feath-
ers are all off dip them In boiling water
for a few seconds and then immediate-
ly in ice water--this is what is called
Pumping. The next st.p is to cool off
the fowl thoroughly; this can be hur-
ried by leaving them in the ice wa err
little while, then hang up to dry. In
cold weather do not let them freeze.
Pack close in the packages, using clean,
dry straw between the layers. Big cof-
fee boxes make the best for dry pack
ing, and barrels where ice is used. Put
very little ice between, but plenty on
top; cover with four or five thicknesses
of heavy burlap and nail the hoop on
over it tight. Be clean and neat with
your packages, so they will open up
nice and present good appearance:
this is one Of the principal inducements
