MANGER FOR HORSES.

Simple Device Meets Many Advant-
ages.
One thing that binders many rarm-
ers from making a good profit on their
farms is keeping scrub stock instead Of
good breeds. No one who has ever
tried feeding a Poland China or Berk-
shire hog in the same pen with scrub
would need anything else to convince
him of this. A good thoroughbred will
simply return twice the increase for the
same amount of feed that the scrub
will. This is matter of far greater
Importance than most people think.

NumHer rive, OF ret US Cali aim
Russ" begins his story by telling us
how, on April 26, a telegram ordered
him to report on board the old recelV-
ting ship New Hampshire, moored at
the end of an East river dock, and hold
himself in readiness to go on board the
Yankee. May the men were taken
alongside the Yankee in tug. Then
they had their first meeting with their
new captain, Commander W. H. Brown
son, of the regular navy. His appear
ance and firm but kindly manner bore
out the reputation he holds in the SER
vice as a gentleman and a capable Of
ficer, who, although strict diseiplin-
Iarian, is ever fair and just in his treat
ment of the crew. The members of
the battalion were rated as landsmen.
ordinary seamen and aBle-bodied sea-
men, according to their skill; and a
number of men hastily enlisted for the
purpose were made machinists, firemen.
coal passers, painters and carpenters.
Some of these had seen service in the
regular navy, and they were vlsibly
horny handed sons of toll. One Irish
man looked with contempt upon the
Naval Reserve sailors. "Uncle Sam IS
a queer bird several of the men over
heard him remark to mate. HE do

played quarterback on famous team
not long ago, took out his notebook and
made an entry. "I'fl spot that fellow
and make him eat his words before we
get into deep water" he said, quietly.
In real life vows of this sort rarely
find their fulfillment In Oliver Optics
books they always do. Now, the happy
destiny that presided over the Yankee
SO arranged it that even this little cpl
sode was to have as POLITICALLY perfect
conclusion as if Oliver Optic himself
or his ghost had rounded it out. The
battalion's first duty was to join in the
work of transferring stores from the
New Hampshire to the Yankee, and
otherwise assist in getting the latter
ready for service. AS the time arriv-
ed for cutting loose from the New
Hampshire it was found necessary to
station several men, armed with guns
and fixed bayonets, on the dock near
the latter ship to stop men from taking

 "Yes. In this department of our business we established at the com mencement fair price, with lowest margin of profit for ourselves, whether the transaction involves one dwt. or many ounces of gold or bullion. We do not buy at haphazard, paying one man too much and making up on the next, nor hold out any baits. Paying cash for bullion and ores and making our shipments to the mint and smelt- CTS in large quantities, we make d satisfactory profit after paying our customers better prices than they would receive shipping themselves "

 We have Jhree scales of prices 60c, Sl 00, S2.50 per metal. l will ex- plain this innovation: A miner takes a number nf samples during trip. Some are from croppings of veins, others sampling- of veins in shaft or tunnel at some depth. For the first. what we call an approximate assay answers every purpose We crush his sample (which itself is mere approx imation) to an even size and quarter it down to a few ounces. This we pulverize and make the assay on a small quantity of the pulp, thus saw ing much time and material Such an assay may vary m medium grade ore, two or three grains in silver and one tenth of an ounce in gold.

 MT Smith is native nf Denmark, where he was born in lS43. In his childhood he visited the Holy Land, with his brother, an agent of the Danish bible society. Later he went to Greenland, where he remained several years. He came to the United States in 1865, landing at Castle Gar den on the eleventh day of October, which date seems to run to coinci- dences in the life of Mir. Smith. On that date in in 1866, he enlisted in the United States regular army, serving in the Sixth cavalry five years, when he was discharged on the same date in 1871. On the same date in 1878 he narrowly escaped serious trouble with Victorio's murderous band of Apa-  ches, near Hillsboro, New Mexico, driving through the band, who half an hour later attacked another party on the road behind Mir.
