Gettysburg was different; and yet,
as respects somnolence, in my case
much the same. During the days pre-

command had been frequently engaged
and suffered heavy loss. We who re-
manned were but remnant. On the Sd
of July the division to which we be-
longed occupied the high, partially
wooded ground on the right of the line.
1t was a bright July day; hot, and with
white clouds slowly rolling across the
sky, premonitory of a thunderstorm
during the later afternoon. From our
position the eye ranged over wide
expanse of uneven country, fields
broken by woods, showing nowhere
my signs of an army movement, much
ess of conflict. Neither our lines nor
those of the enemy were visible to us;
and the sounds of battle were hushed.

REMEDY FOR GAPES.
Ut liz Always Effective and Can lie
Applied without Danger to the
Youngest Birds.

There are several remedies for
gapes, but the difficulty is that some
times the chicks must be handled. The
difficulty occurs mostly on farms upon
which fowls have been kept for years
1t is caused by collection of small,
threadlike worms in the windpipe of
the chicken. 10 kill these worms and
not injure the chicken is laborious.
Take glass tube with small rubber
bulb (Which apothecaries sell for a
"medicine-dropper'O, half fill it with
camphorated oil, and inserting the tip
in the windpipe, discharge the oil. A
small oil can used for sewing machines
may serve in place of the medicine
dropper. Operate as follows: Place the
chicken back down between your knees
and hold it gently; open the bill and
draw the tongue. Seize the lower man
dible and tongue thus drawn out be-
tween the forefnger and thumbnail of
the left hand. This will bring into view
the opening into the windpipe at the
base of the tongue, into which gently
insert the tube and discharge the oil,
using about one drop. Close the bill
and hold the head still for a few sec
onds. Then let the chicken go, and it
will cough, scattering some of the oil
out, but enough remains to destroy the
worms, and they will be coughed up
and swallowed. The gapes continue for
some time after the treatment, but the
remedy will be effectual in every case
if properly applied, and it may be read
lily repeated, if considered worth while,
as often as necessary. After a little
practice it is very easily applied and al
ways succeeds. A breadcrumb upon
which is one or two drops of mixture
of camphorated oil and oil Of turpen-
tine forced down the throat is some-
times effectual, but it does not always
reach the windpipe. Pulling out the
worms with the strip of feather is
painful to the chick.-Farm and Fire

WHEN TO CUT HAY.
No Rule Can BE Laid Down That Might
Not lie Subject 10 Important
Notifications,

As general proposition II is best
to cut hay just rs it is blooming; but
this rule may be subject to modifica-
tions according as we want the hay for
feeding dairy cows, horses or other
stock For horses il is probably bet
ter to have the hay well along toward
maturity. Storer in one of his books
says that zone strong objection that
works against the early cutting Of hay
Is the tendency of hay made from
immature grasses to loosen the bowels
Of animals that feed upon it. This
fact alone precludes the use of such
hay for working horses. All newly
made hay has a laxative and loosening
effect upon animals. Such hay cannot
be sold to the keeper Of livery stable,
because, as he would say he has no
wish to soften down his horses. Horse
keepers are of the opinion that this
laxative quality of new hay endures
until the hay has passed through
process Of sweating, which occurs in
the NOW. No matter how dry the hay
is at the time it is put in the barn, it
is held that it will always sweat some
what in the NOV. BY October the
process is completed, so that the hay
is fit for use, provided il was ripe
enough when mown. But in the case
of hay made from young grass, as
rowen, for example, the medicinal
quality persists, and such hay is
thought to be always unfit for horses
that are kept at work, since it is apt
to weaken them, to make them sweat
easily, and to render them liable to
stumble"
Such is the opinion of Storer. How
far it is borne out in the experience of
western farmers is rather difficult to
say.-Farmers' Review.

them in shape ready for the wounded
who might be carried back from the
front. The surgeons, hospital stewards
and attendants were greatly disturbed,
and when another shot plowed through
the street they were all sager for some
excuse to move. While they were in
excited conference over bsing in range
and over what might be done, Gen.
Thomas walked leisurely down the
pathway of the 64-pounder to where
the chief surgeon stood.
There was not trace of excitement
on his face, and nothing in his move
ments to indicate that he had seen or
heard the hostile 64-pounders. He
walked quietly up to the group of sur
geons and said Doctor, you're right
in the range of the enemy's fire. They
are evidently plugging away at my
headquarters, and, if they are, you will
be in range for good while, for don't
intend to move. Therefore, I think
that the best thing you can do under
the circumstances is to get out OF
range
This was welcome speech to the
surgeons and assistants, and they
waited for no second order to strike
tents. One of the surgeons went to the
tent given up to the hospital stores, and
returned to the general with tin cup
full of porter. He placed the cup on the
palm of his hand so that the general
could take hold of the candle, and pre-
scented it with the air or man confer
ring great favor. Thomas smiled,
looked at the doctor, and then said,
quietly: That's for the sick, doctor.
I'm not sick, nor scared Whether this
was meant for rebuke or pleasantly,
it had a telling effect, and everybody
laughed, except the doctor who had
brought the porter. Chicago Inter
