The Besse System Outiitters.

Among his herd are two half sisters
celebrated miles around for their value
and their great beauty. They have usu-
ally led the herd IN yearly products and
in quality and flavor of their milk.
Whenever q choice COW is for sale in the
vicinity, price does not often prevent her
being added to this mum Der.
The flock Of over 40 sheep and lambs
are very attractive lot. The Horned
Dorsets, some of which are of imported
registered stock, are the most valuable.
Some of these cost over 20 dollars each IN
England before duty and transportation
were paid; and several selected from
American breeders have cost more than
that.
The purpose of the farm is, first to fur
nish an interesting and pleasant summer
farm hOme' Tor the family. and second
IL to produce the finest and bsst milk
and spring lambs that can be secured in
the State. The lambs are fed grain eve
~ day until ready for market. Nearly
100 lambs have already been sold this
year. The earliest ones brought 80 and
40 cents per pound, and the quality has
created call for them even up to this
date at % cents, which is much above the
market. Very fine speciments of thor
oughbred Horned DOrsets, tWO-year-olds,
one-year-olds and lambs were seen, raised
by carefully selecting the best,
Three hundred ton silos are to be found
80 acres of corn has been planted, and it
is now looking very vigorous. In addi-
tion to this big crop they have two acres
in beets and the same are in carrots.
We saw some Of the best bred and most
intelligent Scotch Collie dogs to be found
in the State. They are of a beautiful
sable color and are trained to herd the
flock of sheep, to bring the COWS from the
pasture, to assist in feeding the lambs and
to keep fowls from the garden. AS a
pastime they clear the place from wood
chucks.
The owner and superintendent must
both be naturally fond of stock, for it is
strict rule that no animal should ever
be struck the slightest blow, and no mon

HONoRED By THE
NATION.
BY Mary Baird Bryan.

There u an excellent reason which
keeps me from giving q detailed account
of the journeys made during THE laat
campaign To rise with the lark, and
sometimes even earlier; to eat meals ut-
on the dnstallment plan; TO receive locAl
committees. and in turn be received BY
several thousand people daily. and TO
retire late, do not leave a great deal Of
time for meditation or for the keeping
of dairy. ] cannot, then, speak in de-
tail, because do not remember the cam
paign in that way.
1t takes no acute observation to find
that certain elements in all crowds afe
the same. We came to expect these
types in every gathering and were not
disappointed. They grew to be old
friends. The man who has not voted for
20 years; the man who has vowed that
he will shake the candidates hand, and
who does it at all hazards; the man who
voted for jackson; the man who exhorts
the speaker to ''hit 'em again." and the
man who voted for Lincoln but Is "go-
ing to scratch his ticket this year" are
some of the faithful.
But the greatest of these, the same in
all climates and sections, in city and in
country, untiring, energetic and omni-
present is the American small boy. So
much has been written of him that it
seems folly to add my words of mention
O. him. He was the NrSt TO greet US at
every station, running far down the
track to meet the train, and whether his
mission was to shout for the nominee,
or to inform him that he was Sin the

ways done with neatness and dispatch.
From freight cars and engines. from
roofs of depots, from trees and fences,
his shrill little voice could be distin-
glished through any din. If the candi-
date failed to appear as soon as the train
stopped, pushing and scrambling went

their defensive operations. They held
the outworks of a place for a time, and
having lost them, they abandoned the
further resistance. 1t was only when cut
off that they fought hard on a few oc-
casions against ane japanese, doubtless
fearing that they would be subjected to
the same ghastly cruelties as they were
in the habit of inticting upon the
wretched, ill-armed rebels who fell into
their hands
The Chinese treat their prisoners bru-
tally. In their war against Japan four
bodies of the enemy's soldiers, to quote
one instance, were taken in triumph to
Port Arthur They were paraded at the
Yamen and after the promised blood
money $50 taels for each heaD had been
weighed out by the clerk of the Taotoi,
the corpses were handed over to the Chi
nese braves" The ears, nose, etc,
hung UP by a strng through the lower lip
to the trees along the roadside.
In all cases where prisoners We're cap
tured this horrible scene was repeated.
The Chinese exhibited the same pecu-
liarities against the japanese in 1895, as
they did against the British. Not being
able to depend upon the stoutness of the
individual soldier or upon the training
of their masses, they built Notifications

possible and collected guns and rifles,

ing the foe with the display.
A curious instance of the Chinese idea
of war was furnished in one Of the most
important engagements against the ia
panese. During the thick Of the fight
ing the Chinese general returned to the
neighboring town for his dinner, leav-
ing orders for the fighting to continue
till his return!
The Chinese art of war does not in
clude the moving of troops, and 5000 men
will be purposely spread out over a line
of march $50 miles long. Even these de-
ia chments, when on the march, dribble
along the road in manner that is utter
" incredible. There is no column only
a string of stragglers and coolies to be
flags and a score or two at most of men
seen, except a body of men carrying
armed with rifles, whose special duty it
is to escort the officer commanding the
battalion.
The soldiers stroll or hurry along
according to the taste of the individual.
The men, singly or in small parties, twos
and threes, carry baskets. buckets, bun
dies and tents slung on poles, muskets
or magazine rifles with impartiality;
while tent poles, huge shallow cooking
pans, mattresses, spades. picks, tea
pots. stools, paper lanterns form part or
the baggage, besides umbrellas, of which
each man possesses one, If not two.
Some stagger under wheelbarrows, some
are seated on donkeys, with the peasants
carrying the rifles or muskets.
