BILL ANDERSON.
Beginning OF the wild Career Of tho
Notorious Missouri
Guerrilla.

A party OF Springfield (Mo) citizens
were talking about war times and
noted southern guerrillas and bandits,
when the character and career of Bill
Anderson, the terror Of central and
North Missouri 80 years ago, came in
for share of the reminiscent remarks,
George c. Newberry took the lead as
soon as the name of Anderson was
mentioned and told the following story
about the bioodthrsty raider.
at has often been told that Bill An
derson's parents were murdered by
union soldiers and that this outrage
drove their son into his career of blood
shed, That statement has no founda-
ton in truth. / lived near the Ander-
son family when the war came up, and
knew Bill and his brother jim well.
"In 1856 was going to school at the
old Kentucky university known as
Pennsylvania. John II. Morgan, after

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

1t pays to prepare the ground well
for the crop.
A low-wheel wagon on the farm is
very handy,
Having the orchard well trimmed up
will keep the trees bearing well.
Do not try to plant until the soil will
work readily into good condition.
1t helps the looks of premises great
ly to whitewash the fences and the out
buildings.
Add a pinch of soda to the water in
which cut flowers are placed. 1t will
help preserve them,
The advice often given, directly or
indirectly, to use horses without shoe
ing, is arrant nonsense.
If we learn to run an incubator, it
will always be ready, and sometimes is
available when setting hens are not.
The orchard should have just as good
attention as any other crop. When the
tree is planted, the land should be thor
oughly prepared,
Potatoes cut to one or two eyes have
always given satisfactory results and
we take no stock in the theory of plant
ing whole potatoes.
Twelve bushels of cooked corn will
make as much pork as II of raw corn.
Fed with Stops the result should be
200 pounds increase in the weight of a
pig.
Haul out the manure and spread it on
the land wherever you can. Do not
handle it but once if you can help it.
1t has been decided that it is the better
way to spread it on the surface as soon
as possible.-Western Plowman.

EDWARDS IN BATTLE.
Two Instances OF the Controlling In
iucncc of FEAR In Time
of Danger.

Speaking of towards" said men,
Der of Forests cavalry, 81 have heard
it contended by some that there was no
man who went into the army who
would not in time get over all fear of
battle, aud become so hardened as to
enter the conflict fearlessly and with
out regard to consequences. On the
other hand, several instances came UNI
der my own observation which would
induce the belief that there are men
who could never shake off the dread
with which, suppose, every soldier en-
tors his first battle. In other words,
there are born, constitutional cow
ards.
81 remember at the battle Of Shiloh
there was a young dentist in my COM
pany who was supposed to be one Of
the best men we had, as he was prob
ably the most intelligent; but when we
got in tight place directly in front
OF Pittsburg landing, when the shells
from Sherman's batteries were Kidding
the trees and tearing up the ground in
front of us, that man not only lost all
nerve, but he burst into tears-not as
man would naturally cry but
screamed like a baby and appealed to
the major TO take him away. That was
his last appearance with the company,
and | never knew what became Of him.
"rhere was young fellow who went
into that battle whose name was,Joncs.
Jones was about 10 years old-a coun-
try boy. When we went into the fight
on the first day, Jones ran away and
got lost The next day he turned up
and rcioined the regiment, but as soon
as the fight opened Jones again fled, A
few days afterward, when we had re-
treated to Corinth, Jones again turned
up by the look of hiseye and his gem
eral appearance 1t was apparent that
all his nerve was gone.
ale was brought up to the colonel's
tent, before all the men in camp, and
there was not man who did not pity
him. Even stern Col, Forrest pitied
him, as he said: Jones, am sorryfo
this on your mothers account. She
sent you to me with request to make a
soldier Of you; but you are a coward.
Mind, now, don't blame you so much
or would court-martial you for cow

Big Profit in Rupe.

Perhaps no single crop, outside of the
usual grain crops, has given so much
satisfaction as that of rape, and espe-
cially is this so where it is grown for
the feeding of sheep. Flockmasters
who have sown a few acres of rape dur
ing the past year report the most sat
isfactory results from its feeding; and
we look for much larger acreage to
be sown this year, We would advise
anyone who has few sheep to feed
to SOW at least one or two acres Of rape,
and note carefully the results of such
feeding this year.-Prairie Farmer>

INCUBATOR CHICKS.
How to Take Care Of the Little Things
After They Have Been Taken
from the Machine.

Take chicks from incubator MS soon
as they are dry place in basket with a
piece Of flannel under and over them,
and set near the stove or in q warm
place; do not feed for "a hours. Then
remove to brooder heated TO 80 or 90
degrees, and feed few bread crumbs.
Keep clean water before them, arranged
so they cannot get wet. A tumbler up
side down in saucer makes good
fountain. After first feed, inclose them
under hover of brooder till next feed.
Feed often and little at time; they
must not be oyerfed; feed four or five
times day. regularly, and inclose UNI
der hover after each feed. Clean away
all food that is left; no stale food. Teach
them to go under hover. Wheat and
cracked corn should be the main food
after fifth day. Don't habituate them
to one kind Of food, They should be
hungry for their last feed of the day,
Just before dark. This last feed should
be hard, dry grain. BE persistent in
making them go under the hover, from
the first, until they learn that it is
mother to them. Never let them be-
come chilled by hu'ldling in corners
outside Of hover. A chilled chick will
generally die of bowel trouble. If
front and top of brooder are made of
glass, the sun will blister the chicks
when it shines hot, and give them bowel
complaint. When they huddle in COR
ners, it is too hot or too cold. Carry
out these directions for a week or ten
days and you will have no further
trouble. You can then let them out,
but make them all come in early every
evening for few days. Keep dry grain
in trough in the brooder, to induce
them to return.-Ohio Farmer.

LIME FOR THE SHELLS.
Hens Absolutely Need 1t Either in the
Form of Gravel, Shells, Sand
or Glover Hay.

The gizzard is competent to render
very fine the hardest material, but to
do this it must be assisted by gravel,
shells, sand or other sharp-cutting ma
terial. These materials may pass out
of the system unless dissolved, which
can be done by vegetable acids that
separate the primitive elements of the
various forms of lime Bones are phos-
phate of lime, but egg-shells, chalk,
limestone and oyster shells are car
Donate of lime, They are insoluble in
water, and cannot be appropriated by
the hen until they are entirely changed
in chemical composition by some sub
stance that unites with them. Plaster
is soluble, but may prove injurious if
used freely. The best way to feed lime
is in the grains, such as wheat, oats,
buskwheat and barley. Glover hay is
rich in lime, and so are peas and beans.
The action of mineral substances is
mostly mechanical, but while this may
be insufficient, so far as providing
lime is concerned, yet it is only Il the
DRY, and they are really more useful as
grit. Many persons have provided
their hens with all the oystershels re-
CURED and yet they laid soft-shell
eggs. 1t can be considered, however,
that the difficulty may be weakness of
the egg-making machinery. An egg
traverses quite a distance before it is
surrounded by the shell, and hens are
subject to many disorders. Overfat
hens, inbred hens and sickly hens are
those usually affected,-Farm and Fire

OUTSIDE AND INSIDE OF COOP.

the coop has tight bottom with Stats
at it's outer edge, as shown in Fig, 2.
There is no bottom to the rest of the
coop, and the lower end mas a hinged
door, and is also covered with one inch

When very cold, the door can be shut
up tight and the chicks will have a
warm run on the ground outside the
stats. When it is warmer the end door
can be dropped, giving protected run,
but plenty of fresh air. The hen can
be let into this run when desired. A

A DESTRUCTIVE PEST.
Appearance of the WeeviI Stopped
Pea-GrOwing In Certain
Section of the Country.

Many years ago used to grow acres
of white field peas for hogs. That was
what they were called then, but since
we have to get seed of the same from
Canada, where weevils seem not to
bother, the name seems to have been
changed to Canada peas" l raked the
peas in punches with a horserake when
ripe, the rake tearing them out by the
roots. When dry stacked them along
side the hog yard like hay, and forked
them into the yard as hogs needed.
Only enough were stored in the barn
to be threshed for seed and for young
pigs the next summer. When warm
weather came the next June the grain
room had not been opened for two or
three weeks, when went to get peas
to soak for some pigs just before wean-
ing, and the sight | beheld was pho
tographed on my mind indelibly. A
portion of the substance of my peas
was running all over the floor and walls
and bins of wheat, corn, oats and bar
ley. The eggs of the pea weevil had
Matched in every pea, consuming about
one-fourth of each grain, and then
emerging in the form of dirty gray
beetles, and | suppose they were on
their travels looking for sunlight and
chance for further development. My
Pea-growing for pigs ceased then, as
it did with all my neighbors, and prob
ably never to be renewed in this sec
ton of the country.-Galen Wilson, in
Practical Farmer.

Glover md Timothy Hnr.

Glover unless cut before it reaches
the blossoming stage will have when
dried from seven to ten per cent. of al
bumnoids, which makes it a very nu-
tritious ration. Timothy, when in its
best estate, which is a little before it
has blossomed has only four to five per
cent. of albuminoids. If it stands until
dead ripe most of these are changed to
woody fiber, which is very hard to di-
gest. The second growth of clover is
much richer than the first. 1t is hard
to cure it without discoloring from eX-
cessive fermentation. If secured in
good order it should be saved for young
stock and for poultry, to be fed to each
in small amounts with other feed.

To Test the Wonderful Merits of the Great rIodern
Discovery, Swamp-Root, Every Reader May Have
Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely Free By Mail.

The way to be well is to pay attention
to your kidneys.
They are the most important organs
Of the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys once every three
minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the
impurities in the blood-that is their
work.
Purifying your blood is not a ques-
ton of taking laxative of physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are al
ready in your blood, causing your pres
ent sickness, it leaves there.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your
kidneys,
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the great
Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford
natural help to nature, for Swamp
Root is the most perfect healer and
gentle aid to the kidneys that is known
to medical science.
DIR. Kilmer, the eminent physician,
