In any way. 1t is the cheapest animal
food that you can buy IL you can get
1t for one cent gallon, says Farm
Poultry. Recent experiments have
proved 1t TO be one of the best hot
weather animal foods for chicks or
laying fowls 1t is, however. consid-
cred necessary to supply some addi-
tional meat food to get the best re-
suits In eggs. The milk could be fed
daily, and the meat twice a week, and
good results follow. Those beef plueks
are an exceptionally good and cheap
meat food AT the price you quote
they are much cheaper than bone. We
should feed milk and beef pluck, and
would consider that We were getting
our animal food very cheap.
You can feed the plucks to best ad-
vantage by varying the manner of pre-
Earring. Probably they will be best
when cooked. The best way TO prepare
piucks TO have them keep sweet will
be TO run them through a meat cutter
or sausage machine, and then boil the

The Buxler who Forgot.

1t is not often that an enlisted man
gets chance to run part of the tight
to suit himself. That chance, however
came to one bugler. Capt. Hannay.
finding that company L was too far
away to hear orders, in a recent en-
gagement in the Philippines, sent his
bugler after the company to sound the
charge. At the first notes company L
flew onward. 1t was right here that
the bugler forgot. for the time being.
that he was only the commanding Of
ficer's orderly. He saw another chance,
he thought. to be lost. He sounded
once more. and Lieut.. Ross, imagining,
of course. that the order came from
Capt Hannay. executed it, Not even
vet was the bugler's thirst for forward
action sated He sounded again and
again. as the heat of generalship made
his blood flow thick and fast BY the
time the bugler came to himself and
relinouished the duties of fight direc-
tor, the poor fellows of company L
were troubled with shortness of breath.
In this brisk affair, according to the
official report, the dead reached a to-
tai of about sixty. including some off,

Lieut.. Mclaughlin OF the Signal
corps, who recently succumbed to yell
low fever at Santiago, made gallant
ride one year ago. He had then charge
OF the squad which built the telegraph
line along the route OF the American
advance into Porto Rico. This squad
was not able to keep up In its work
with the advance OF the lofantry and
artillery, in command OF Gen. Brooke.
and by Aug. II, when the invading
army faced line OF Spanish intrench-
ments, the telegraph line was two
miles in the rear. The next day word
came to Lieut.. McLaughlin's station
that the peace protocol had been
signed. Mounting his horse, and ac-
companied by an orderly who was soon
left behind, the young oficer started
on a ride which for dramatic interest
deserves place among the great rides
of song and story. Every moment he
expected to hear the booming OF guns
ahead, announcing that bloody and
needless battle was begun. When he
reached the lines OF infantry that were
supporting the artillery, he was told
that the guns were about to open on
the enemy. Pressing on more rapidly
still, he found Gen. Brooke standing
beside one of Battery BIS guns, while
the gunner had his hand on the lanyard
ready to pull. The battle was stopped.
| Hundreds of lives were saved. As the
position of our army was an unfavor-
| able one, it is probable that the loss on
our side would have been large. Lieut..
/ Mclaughlin arrived just in time to
avert an unnecessary battle, one of the
most horrible things in the world. In
| the golden future all battles will doubt
less be found unnecessary. Arbitra-
ton will take the place OF war. Those
/ persons who, in this generation, by
their deeds and influence. hasten on the
day of universal peace are in sense
engaged in the same task that Lieut..
Mclaughlin so calamity performed.
He made haste to prevent needless
battle. They are making haste to

In the same quiet tone: am going
to count three. II you are not out here
with your hands held up on the third
count you won't come out Of that place
alive He counted one, then he cooked
the revolvers and counted two. We all
expected to hear the report, for we
knew that Dewey meant what he said.
The men knew 1t. too. They stepped
out just In time to save their lives and
held up their hands. and they had been
partially sobered by their fright and
the moral effect of Dewey's glance.
Dewey went back to his room and nm
ished his letter." While Capt. Dewey
was in command OF the flagship Pensa-
cola OF the European squadron, in 1855,
a number OF sailors went on shore at
Malta and engaged in a street brawl.
The next morning the captain OF the
port came out to the Pensacola to COM
plain to Capt Dewey OF the action OF
his sailors. What can / do?" asked
Dewey. why, your men raised riot
on shore, and you can assist me In ar
resting and furnishing them" was the
reply. Capt Dewey expressed regret
for the occurrence, but said that he did
not see how he could aid the captain Of
the port, who, with show OF anger.
replied: you certainly can parade
your crew before me in order that the
rioters may be identified" Looking
aloft. and pointing to the stars and
stripes waving at the masthead, Dewey
made reply: 1.-THE deck OF this vessel
is United States territory. and I'll
parade my men for no foreigner that

From the Farmers Review: Recently
we saw a way to dust chicks for lice
that was a new wrinkle to US. As 1t
seems to be reasonable. we pass 1t on:
Take a common ten-pound paper bag,
put in 1t from three to six chicks, ac-
cording TO size. sprinkle over them one
tablespoonful OF good insect powder,
close the top OF the bag, invert 1t
several times, which will cause the
chicks to futter about, thus allowing
them to become well busted with the
powder. have thoroughly busted 100
In half an hour In this way. Why
would 1t not be better to use a twenty
fiye-pound paper -four sack for this
business? One could dust a dozen at
once In this way; II also seems to me
that one could use the paper sacks TO
cure the gapes, or as a medium to help
In curing them. Place the chicks IN
the sacks, sprinkle In some lime, fine
Tobacco dust or sulphur, and after clos
Ing the sack shake them around con-
siderably. This would also help in
getting rid OF lice. Tobacco smoke
could be blown in II one has had bet

the other methods. We seldom have a

II not serious.
| We have had excellent success with
turkeys this year; no sick ones until
few weeks ago, when several OF the
flock became dumpy; they would aver
age three and one-half pounds at that
time. An old poultry raiser told US to
