HOW TO MAKE CHICKENS TnRIvm
Some Kind Of Meat a. Well -
Grain Must he Fed.


Experiments Just finished by tho New
York agricultural experiment station show
that chickens do not thrive 80 well On
grain feeding alone as on some form q
animal food The same II true Of ducks.
The addition OF animal nitrogen TO the n.
lions makes UP for the grasshoppers And
earthworms OF natural poultry life. The
tests demonstrated that poultry fed on ~
inal and vegetable food gained weight ana
ma'ured more rapidly than the others apd
at smaller cost OF food. In one expea-
ment 1t took the meat meal ration chicks
forty-seven days to gain their nrst pouno
and thrty-fiye days to gain the second.
The grain-fed birds needed stxty-one
days for their frs. pound and thirty-eieht
days more for their second.
With the ducks the results OF the tests
with the contrasted rations were equally
convincing. Both lots In this instance were
fed with green alfalfa. in addition to the
other fools. and had plentiful supplies 81
sand and coarse grit. The animal meA
birds soon began to develop rapidly and
evenly, but the grain-fcd ducklings BE-
came thin and uneven In size. The latter

but one third OF the others departed this

In the rice fields and the marshes.
Meath the burning tropic sky.
Where 50 many brave have fallen
And the helpless wounded lie.
There the darling OF his mother
Her support through earthly strife
Upon the nations holy altar
Freely gave his fair young life.
ITO the CHARGE" the bugie sounded.
And the day was almost won
When the dreaded Mauser struck him
And his race OF life wac run;
But n eomrade stops beside him.
And bending DER him as he lay,
Rests hts head upon his bosom
And waits 10 hear what he might say.
When YOU send the news to mother
Tell her have tried TO be
Such a soldier as was father
In the days of SO,
Tell her that did not faiter''
And his voice is sinking low,
I'm that hour Of dreadful carnage
When We charged upon the foe.
Tell her how my gallant comrades
From the North. South, East and West,
Fought beneath the same old banner,
Each AS braveiy as the rest,
Tell her that the past II buried
Yankeelani and Dixie true
Are united now forever
Meath the Old Red. White and Biue.~
A smile now gathers-he II sleeping
That last long earthly sleep.
And his cornr aie. looking upward,
Brushes iesrdrops from his cheek.
The bugle sounds, he cannot larry.
But murmurs as he turns away,
"Iis father wore the Northern blue
Ny father wore the Southern gray"
Crack Again the dreaded Mauser
Speeds upon Its wings OF death,
And the fair-haired Southern soldier
Falls To earth with hated breath.
Across the breast OF his Northern brother
As II locked in his embrace
Each has answered TO the summons.
And die together. face TO face.
A. the breaking OF the morning,
When the cannon's voice was still.
And the rife no longer echoed
Through the marsh beyond the hill,
Lying there as they had fallen.
Upon the marshy. blood red ground
BY squad Of anxious comrades
These two noble bows were found
In the same grave they are sleeping
Not as their fathers slept OF Old
But as comrades, loving brothers.
Soldiers. fearless true and bold
For the lives Of these two heroes
Healed the wound their fathers made.
30 let the pass be now forgotten
In the sacrifice they gave.
Thus the graves around Manila
Mark turn In nis;ory's tide.

A Central African who Travels

Hundreds 81 Miles In y Trance.

Dr. r. w. Feilkin. who had accompanied
Emin Pasha on tour through Uganda
and adjacent territory. is responsible for
1t. He says that some time last year his
party had got back to I.ado. about "a
thousand miles south of Khartoum. and
that he had been without letters from Eu-
rope for a year. Naturally. he was im-
patient for tidings. In that part of Af-
RIGA he had often come across wizards,
who pretended to transform themselves
INTO lions or other animals at night. ana

They also assert that they acquire ;nfor-
nation at such times about stolen cattle
and other lost property DIR. Felkin says
that, although he has no explanation to
offer In regard to these alleged feats. he
had a chance to verify one Of their st0-
ries.
One morning after his arrival at Lado
a man came to his tent, evidently in great
excitement. and said that the local wiz
ard. or 'm'logo," had been roaming about
the country the night before. in the form
of jackal. During his rambes. the
"m'logo" had visited Meschera ell REX.

khartoum. The wizard declared that two
steamers had just arrived at this point.
anu Hdu pfouGnt maiiS. ne also de-
scribed infinitely the appearance OF an
English officer accompanying the boats.
DIR. Felkin r!dculed the story But Em:n
Pasha took the thing more seriously He
directed that the wizard be brought be-
fore him. and questioned the fellow.
Where did you go last night?'
II was at Meschera-el-Rek.'
What were you doing therer'
Il went TO see some friends"
what did you see?"
Il saw two steamers arriving from
Khartoum.''
"Oh. this Is nonsense! You could not
possibly have been at Mesehera.el- REX"
Il was there" the wizard replied en-
phatically. And with the steamers was
an Englishman, short man with a big
beard"
We'll. what was has mission?"
He says that the great pasha at Khar-
toum had sent him, and he has some
papers for you. He Is starting overland
to morrow. bringing the papers with him,
and he will be here about thirty days
from now"
DR.. Feikin says that thirty-two days
later the Englishman did arrive at Lado
and that he brought letters for the party.
The newcomer was Lupton Bey. OF the
wizard DIR. Felkin says that he is salts
fed that the man was never outside his
native village i'm his life.

here from Richland Center, Wis, last
April to make Ter home near her
parents, and since then has formed q
large number OF acquaintances who will
extend their congratulations. Mr..
Lewis came to Mitchell last April and
also lived near Richland Center, Wis,
and although they knew of each other
back in Wisconsin, their affection did
not ripen until it came under the inf1u-
ence of South Dakote's atmosphere.
Mr.. Lewis is the head timer in WAL
rath's hardware store, and during his
stay in Mitchell has demonstrated that
he is entitled to the confidence and
friendship of his acquaintances. The
REPUBLICAN wishes to extend its
hearty congratulations to the couple
and trusts that no cloud, not even q
diminutive one, will ever appear in the
horizon of their married life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis will commence
housekeeping in the Van Alstine resi-
dence on the corner of Edmunds and
First avenue, on the south side.

HANSON OFFICERS AFTER 'EM.
The Range Stove Peddlers are Given
aGoOd Strong Dose of Hanson
County Justice.

After operating in Brule county,
where they we're arrested and fined,
the range stove peddlers won't into
Hanson county for presumably good
field of operation. They have been
working there several weeks, being 3
part of the regular crew, and the
authorities in our neighboring county
have been hot otter them. IL was only
few days ago that Sheriff Murray got
track of them and he followed two
agents into farmers place, first giving
them An opportunity to make the sale,
whom he swooped down upon them and
placed them under arrest. The Alex
andria Journal tells the rest in the
following: "They were brought to
town and asked for time in which to
hear from their head man. This was
granted, and yesterda, morning the
head man OF the outfit. accompanied by
A. E. Hitchcock, as counsel, drove
down from Mitchell, and the men were
taken before Judge Gregory, charged
with peddling without license.
They pleaded not guilty, and after q
hearing we're adjudged guilty and
fined 500. They put up bonds in the
amount Of 5000 and appealed the case
to the circuit court. They refused tt
take out license, and it is not known
whether they expect to continue sell
ing in this county or not. But they
may rest assured of one thing: Hanson
county has sheriff who is onto his job
and if they don't give this county
wide berth they will probably be heart
from in the justice court again. The.
break the laws of the state with impun
ity and swindle the farmers out of thei
hard earned dollars besides. N
justice can be too severe for them, AM
it is q pleasure to know that Judg
Gregory gave them the limit.
