than that of joyous greeting. Tears and
sobs of joy were mingled with words of
love and praise and sacred devotion.
Gray haired mothers crept through the
crowd to shed tears of love upon the
breast of her devoted boy-her lifes hope.
Fathers clasped the hand of those he felt
so proud to welcome home and then turn
ed to hide unbidden tears that could not
be suppressed Fond sisters wept as they
chung to their loved brother for whom
their hearts had long yearned. Such
scenes are too sacred to relate and we find
no words to convey how we shared their
joy with them. The boys were loaded
down with flowers and after nearly an
hour spent in exchanging kind greetings
with all, a procession was formed to march
up town. The gray haired veterans from
in 81 went forth to do battle for their
country, when the voice of destiny sound
ed from Fort Sumter, formed in line, while
the members of the Relief Corps did like
wise and as an escort of honor IS Young
ladies dressed in red, white and blue, and
Carrying guns, dropped in the parade just
ahead of the soldier bows who were their
intimate friends and sweethearts. The
band, twenty-five in number, that had
furnished the music on the field of battle
for the Fighting First, played the Soldiers
March while the boys in blue marched
proudly and gladly With gallant tread, up
the streets of home. which they had left
some sixteen months before.
Thursday of this week is the day when
the boys will be given a grand reception
Geo. ID. Meiklejohn, Assistant Secretary of
War, will come from Washington and
other noted speakers will be present We
expect a grand and glorious day after
which we will return home feeling salts
fled that the boys of the First Nebraska
have been paid tribute of repect worthy
of the honors they have won.

Lack of Eorare.

The Denver Field and Farm says:
SIN some instances the present lack of
forage is due as much to the slowness
of the farmers and stockmen to adapt
themselves to the existing conditions
us it is to the want Of suitable crops
for cultivation. 1t is difficult to get
out Of the old slipshod range ways,
even though it is known that little
well directed effort will make given
amount Of land yield several times as
much forage as it did formerly. Care
full attention to the development Of ma
tive meadows and pastures and more
general cultivation Of miscellaneous
forage crops that can be grown with
at least fair degree Of success in
nearly all localities will do much to-
ward solving the forage problem"

FALL PASTURES.
Advantages of Some of the Cereal
Grains.

Grains.
The present Is Il good time to con-
slider the methods Of supplying ample
pasture for stock this fall, says Pro-
lessor w. A. Henry. If there is any
possibility Of scant pastures from the
means already available, let one Of the
present grainfields be devoted to that
purpose. AS soon as the grain crop is
harvested let the land be prepared by
ploWing and reducing to the finest pos
sible condition. On this we'll made
seed bed sow oats, wheat rye or barley,
the last named being far preferable.
Where one wishes to gain both fall and
spring pasture, rye will be found salts
factory. Where fall pasture only Is
desired. by all means let barley be
sown. When sown in midsummer, rye
and wheat plants are apt to show red
rust in the hot weather, and this is a
serious drawback in many cases.
Barley is wonderful plant in many
particulars. Next to rye, it grows near
est to the north pole Of any cereal in
Europe, and still it fourishes in Arabia
and other hot countries. Sown in mid
summer, young barley plants will in
short time reach height where they
can be pastured off, and barley pas
ture will hold good until late in the
fall. On several occasions the writer
of this has seen barley which was
sown in July head out in the fall, and
last season sample of mature barley
grains was sent to us grown from the
second crop. This, of course, is unu-
sual but it shows what may happen.
The first freezes Of fall do far less
harm to young barley plants than to
wheat or oats. and this is an additional
advantage.
Few farmers realize how advanta-
geously some of the cereal grains may
prove for pasture purposes. They are
apt to think of them only as grain
producers, when in truth wheat, rye,
oats and barley are all grass plants as
much as timothy and blue grass,
though they do not form quite as dense
sod. 1t is we'll to bear in mind the
secondary value which these plants
possess and use them whenever neces-
sity or opportunity requires.
Grasses and clovers can usually be
sown along. with these grains, with a
good "catch" as the result. | think
that experience will show that even
when the barley or oats are pastured
off the grasses and clovers will still
hold. and thus one can get pasture
crop and a catch Of grass the same
season. More experience is needed on
these points, but the subject is an in
teresting one for those who are study
ing to increase the capacity Of each
field Of his farm until all are made to
produce to the utmost.

ALL ABOUT DOGS.

Carved His Own Pulpit.

A unique feature of Hampstead
church has to be recorded The curate
in charge, Rev. John Escreet, happens
to be an expert carver in wood, and
when his church was rebuilt his con-
tribution to the new structure took the
substantial form of the carving of the
reading desk, lectern and pulpit. There
is probably no other church in the
world of which it can be said that the
pulpit is the actual handiwork Of the
minister who breaches from it. Mr..
Escreet also executed the carving on
the south porch of his church in very
artistic manner.

Mr.. w. F. Stotts arrived home on
Tuesday morning from Mena, Ar
kansas, where he is interested,
quite extensively, in some gold and
copper mines, and feels quite elated
over his prospects. While there he
sunk shaft and took out several
hundred pounds of ore and carried
it to the smelling works nearby and
brought the proceeds of the mill
run home with him in the shape of
bullion, which runs about $4,000 in
gold and about $500 in silver and
copper to the ton. He says when
they get their ore mill in operation
they can mine and mill the ore at a
cost of $3.50 per ton which would
leave net profit of over $4,000 to
the ton. They have fine water
power right on hand that is of an
eighteen hundred horse power ca
pacity, plenty of fine timber and
several fine springs with mineral
properties on the claim. The mines
consist of five claims each fifteen
hundred feetin length by six humid
red feet in width, making a total
length of seventy-five hundred feet.
Along the lode or vein the ore COW
ers the entire width of the claim in
some places and the depth is esti-
mated to be several hundred feet.
These mines are located about eigh-
teen miles southeast from Mena,
Polk county, Arkansaw, and are
reached by a good mountain road.
Mr.. Stotts is now engaged in organ
izin2 this company into corpora
ton, under the laws of Arkansas,
and when completed will offer a
limited amount of the stock at
about one-thlrd it's actual worth IN
order to raise money to purchase
machinery and develop the mines.
He states that within thirty days
from the time of starting the mill
the stock will be worth it's face and
will pay handsome dividend on
the capital stock Of the company
and he says he would prefer to dis
pose of all they wish to sell to the
people of this county. The people
of the county know Mr.. Stotts we'll
enough to know that he would be
the last man to ask his friends to
90 into anything. that would not
bear the closest investigation. He
says he has already sold several
thousand shares of the stock to par
ties here. Mr.. Stotts will move his
family to Mena, Arkansas, in a
month or so where he will open the
companys office and have full man
agenent of the financial part of the
companys affairs.

NO FIGHT
Between Germany and the United

German Interests at Manila Placed
Under
PROTECTION OF UNITED STATES

A dispatch from Washington says !:
The German government has set at
rest effectually the rumors OF the pur-
pose on its part to embarrass the
United States in the Philippines and
has given signal manifestations of it's
desire to promote the most cordial re-
lations between Germany and the
United States by ordering the with
drswal of all vessels of it's navy from
the Philippine waters, placing the
lives and propertf of its subjects
there under the protection of the
United States government. The sc-
ton thus taken is regarded here as a
master stroke in diplomacy by which
will be removed all possibility of a
clash between German and American
interests in and about Manila.
