In the camp of the Thirteenth 1
traced another heroic 10 Up to a few
years ago there was a veteran officer in
that regiment named Pardee. He met
with misfortune and left the service.
When the war broke out, his ~17-year-
old boy Austin, whom many of the Off
GERS remembered as a child in the post
quarters on the plains. begged to be al
lowed to go. His mother protested, and
to every argument the lad said. ''But.
mother, it's my duty, since father can't
go" At last he enlisted in the Seventy
first. and with it brought up in the
trail in front of San Juan hill. He was
not in Rafferty, S company or this story
would belong to that gallant band.
Young Pardee's instinct told him that
his battalion. stationary when the
Thirteenth marched past, would remain
so all day. He saluted the captain Of
bis fathers old company and said.
.'Let me march with you. sir, please. /
am the son Of Captain Pardee. There
was no time for parley n sentiment.
The captain told the boy to ''fall in,
adding, your re the kind of 'volun-
teer' Uncle Sam is looking for just
now"
The boy was worthy his lineage, and
after the fight went back to the Seven
ty-frst. The officers of the Thirteenth
who saw him in action told his story at
headquarters, and he was offered a
transfer to his fathers old company.

Although reticent about his own
deeds Lieutenant Barnum was loud in
the praise of others. He gave me the
names of all the negroes who had won
honors at Santiago. told me about the
officers killed and wounded, and took it
upon himself to secure the photograph
of the son of Colonel Baldwin of the
Tenth, the gallant little fellow who by
a clever ruse got his chance to uphold
the family honor in battle. The boy,
Theodore A. Baldwin, Jr., was at school
and his parents refused TO allow him to
enlist and break up school plans. 1t was
compromised on his passing the vaca-
ton days with his father in Cuba. The
boy assumed the full measure Of his per-
NIT and insisted upon sticking with the
regiment when it lined up along San
Juan creek, on July /. He was with
out weapons and in civilian costume.
When the line reached the barbed wire
fence, he saw the negroes grapple the
posts to overthrow them and put his
slender arms to the work. Soon a negro
soldier fell dead by his side and a loaded
Krag-Jorgensen lay at his feet without
a hand to bear it against the Spaniards
on the hill. He seized it and went NJ
the slope in the very front line of the
negroes. When this reached the ears OF
President Mckinley, he sent a commits
sion to Theodore A. Baldwin, Jr., and
the boy was in the army in spite OF
parental prohibition.

PROFIT IN SHEEP.
FARMERS Should Easily Make from rs
to 80 Per Cent. Annually from
Mutton Breeds.

A shepherd can make from Is per
cent.to 50per cent. on his investment IN
mutton sheep, according to his skill. A
good breeding eve can produce enough
wool to pay for keeping her. A eve
can be kept in thrifty condition, being
fed such coarse folders as straw, clover
hay and corn fodder, with one-half
pound of grain daily when she requires
it, at cost Of one cent pei. day, during
the period Of most expensive feeding.
10 pay for her keep she needs to pro-
duce no more than ten pounds of good
wool, and that mutton eve can do.
In addition to the wool the returns
from a eve will be at least one lamb
the average of the mutton breeds is
nearer one and one-half. From the
facts derived from our experimental
work it is safe to say that, charging
foods at market prices, mutton can be
put on the market on foot for at least
three cents per pound. Such mutton
as can be furnished at that cost will sell
for six cents, and the sheep should
weigh $50 pounds. Here is profit Of
$3.50 from sheep under the most mod
crate circumstances. I have known
ewes of mutton breeding to produce
each year clear profit of ten to fifteen
dollars.-Western Plowman.

HINTS FOR STOCKMEN.

Feed some chopped feed, with meal,
to the hogs.
The work horse should have plenty
of good grooming.
It seems that green Kafir corn is a
dangerous thing for cattle to eat.
Keep the pigs warm. Sometimes in
very cold weather better throw blan-
ket over them.
While pigs should be kept warm,
never let them bunch together for any
considerable time; it will produce dis
ease.
One of the most fatal things for the
pig is "a cold, damp nest to sleep in.
Remember the nest must never. be
damp; let it be either warm or cold.
Very much is said about feeding
warm water to COWS. The same prin-
ciple applies to swine. Cooked or
steamed food does the hog an immense
amount of good.
As pigs increase in age it may be well
to- increase slightly the proportion of
corn in order to make the ration little
more carbonaceous toward the finish
ing period.
With good dry bed and good dry
feeding-rocm that is warm and light
and kept clean, the pigs will do we'll to
be confined to these two compartments
until they are six months old, when
they should weigh not less than $50
pounds each.-Western Plowman.

Angle OF a Horses Foot.

By the angle of horses foot is meant
the angle formed by the wall and the
ground surface of the foot at the center
OF the toe. In order to get the feet
alike in shoeing trotters horseshoers
usually measure the length of the toe
and the height of the heel from the
coronet to the bottom of the wall. It
is we'll to remember that different
horses may have toes and heels of the
same length and height, and yet the
angle of the foot may be different in
each case. A study of a picture of the
bones of the leg will show just what is
meant by a straight line striking the
center of the pastern and coffin joints.
It means when straight line will pass
through the center of both position
bones and the coffin bone.-Harse Re-

KENTUCKY BELLIES REVENGE.
She Refused the German Baron Who
Had Tilted Her Many
Years Ago.

This is story of an international
marriage that didn't take place. It
failed twice, the first time for reasons
of the man in the affair, or his family,
and the second time for reasons of re-
venge on the part of the once young
woman, now three times married. It
is safe to say that the German baron
will not daily long again with Blue
Grass belle.
It was half century ago that Miss
Marie Goodloe, one of the most beauti-
full girls in that state world-famous for
three beautiful products girls, horses
and whisky-went abroad and formed
the acquaintance of Baron Won horde,
of Berlin, nephew of the late Prince
Bismarck. They became engaged and
everything seemed to be going smooth
~, when the parents of the young man
announced that it could not be, and
that the affair was broken off.
Miss Goodloe recovered, and in time
became successfully Mrs. Shreeve, Mrs.
Ransom and Mrs. Cuthbert Bullitt. The
first two husbands died and divorce
separated her from the last one.
Perhaps the old flame fingered in the
heart of the baron, and it certainly
burned with a vengeance in the heart
of the lady. Last summer they met in
Chicago, and again he asked her to be
his. The long-awaited hour had come.
At last the proud Kentuckian had
chance to show the baron what sort of
a woman the blue grass country pro-
duces. ...
She told the baron that she would
consider the matter and give him an
answer in person at her home on No
! vember /. He came in advance Of the
date and found Louisville society wide
| open. She gave reception in his hon
or at Fountain Ferry park, and for two
weeks showed him every attention.
On the first of the month he kne1t
with becoming baronial grace at the
feet of the beauty and offered to share
his castle on the Rhine with her. 80
| With an arise-sir- knight air she babe
him regain his feet, and when he was
sufficiently braced she remarked that
she preferred cabin in Kentucky to
a castle in Germany. The baron quit
America, and Mrs. Bullitt gave out tho
story. Thus was she avenged.-N. Y.

DIsPOsING4 or HONEY.
Up Profitable Retail Trade
s OF Their Own.

The great d fhculty with the average
farm bee keeper is in finding a market
for his surplus. This matter of mar
keting the products Of farm is one
that should be given more thought by
producers. They have so long sold to
the grain buyer or merchants accord
ing to what they take tomarket, allow
ing the buyer to make the price, that a
good many Of them feel that it is rather
a small business to try to sell at retail.
They look atit in wrong light. Not
one consumer in hundred but would
prefer to buy butter, eggs, honey, fruit
and vegetables directly from the pro-
Queer, it he could do so. In selling
honey go directly to the best families
and give them a glass full of your ex-
tracted honey or present them with a
quarter of a pound of nice comb money
and tell them you have it for sale, nam
ing the price. A few days later call
again and ask for orders. Very often
more than half the families will buy
and gradually others will come in with
their orders until you will have a Sc
cure market for all you can produce.
1t is fact that family that once gets
into the habit of eating honey will in
nine cases out of ten miss it so much
when they get out of it that they Will
wish. for more at once.
The great difficulty with buying
honey at the average country town
store is that merchants rarely keep it
in stock. They may buy few pounds
If they can get it in the way of a trade.
but they do not make practice Of
keeping it and usually when they do
they demand greater profit on it than
on any other line of goods they keep.
Almost any honey producer can get
more than the wholesale city price by
selling at home and by doing this saves
himself the cost of freight and commls-
sions and runs no risk from allowing
his goods to get into the hands of risky
commission merchants. - Farmers

QUARTERS FOR PIGS.
ment and Never Where Other
Stock Is Kept.

Whenever a barn has a barn base
ment, as all should have, in that should
be fixed the winter quarters for the
hogs. AS there is a strong, disagree.
able smell from the P;gpen, the base
ment should not be where other stock
is kept, and of course not near tho
house. Not only horses and sheep,
which are dainty in their feeding, but
even the cow, which is less affected by
foul odors, will refuse to eat food that
has been where the stencil from the
hogpen could get at it. Yet we have
known farmers to allow hogs to run in
the same stable with cattle and horses,
and then wonder why the latter so
often get "off their feed" and lose flesh.
The hog alone will thrive under such
circumstances, though even the hog in
it's effort to keep warm will crowd close
around the larger animals to gather
heat from their bodies. In this way the
hog is apt to be stepped upon or kicked,
so that the practice is not best even for
him. The pigs winter quarters should
be made warm, and also light, having
wall on the south side with large double
windows in it through which the win
ter sunlight may stream. If all the
other sides are walled tight, and a
bunch of chopped straw is put in one
corner, the pigs will make their nest
in that and sleep at night, but in sunny
days they will huddle together where
the sunlight can fall upon them. This
matter of sunlight has much to do with
the healthfulness of breeding sows and
the successful rearing of their litters,
especially those narrowed in early
spring.-American Cultivator.
