General Cronje, caught his rear guard at
Kip drift and followed the burghers to the
Beers laager at Koodoes rand. The drift
action began at daybreak. the mounted in
fantry driving the Boer rear guard up the
river towards the main body. while another
body of mounted infantry maneuvered on
the right front and flank of the Beers.
The British main body advanced to out
flank the Beers laager on the north bank
OF the river. General Kellykenny having
seized two drifts, found the Beers strongly
inclosed and ordered an attack with the
Highland brigade on the left and General
Knoxs brigade on the center and right.
while General Smith Doerrien's brigade
crossed the river and advanced along the
north bank. On both the north and south
banks the ground is level. The advance
across this was deadly and the British
losses were heavy. The battle was an ex-
act replica of the Modder river. The SOL
diers were under fire all day long and all
the fighting had no definite result, as the
Beers laager was well barricaded and they
returned therein. The British guns shelled
the laager vigorously and the Beers con-
fessed to a loss of over 500 men. The ter
rife shelling was resumed on Monday, when
General Cronje asked for an armistice. The
shelling was continued on Tuesday, over
fifty guns pouring lead into the Boer camp.

Poultry at the Pan.American.

Poultry and other live stock
will have ample opportunity tc
make a good showing at the
Pan-American Exposition, al
Buffalo, next year. Liberal
premiums will be paid, and every
facility given for fine display.
The cooperation of breeders as.
sociations is desired, and sug-
gestions as to arrangement and
classification are requested from
those interested, especially from
poultry organizations. Such an
opportunity for advertising as
this will afford doesn't come to
poultrymen every year, and they
should make the most of it They
should begin now by giving the
Superintendent any helpful,
practical suggestion of which
they are capable. AS soon as
the decisions and suggestions of
all the associations are received,
a complete premium list, giving
the classification of each breed,
and-the special prizes offered,
will be issued. The superinten-
dent of the Live Stock Division
is Frank A. Converse, 735

An Iowa Institution.

Few people in this vicinity are
aware of the magnitude of the bust
ness of the Chamberlain Medicine
Company, OF Des Moines, Iowa.
From a small beginning it has
grown into one of the most impor-
tant industries in that state and is
a source of pride to Iowa people.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy are staple
throughout the United States and
in many Soreign countries; and it is
especially gratifying to know that
they are worthy of their popularity.
The Chamberlain Medicine Com
pany use in one year over forty car
loads of bottles; twenty-one car
loads of lumber for packing cases
and fifteen car loads of printing
paper for advertising matter; over
four hundred barrels of the finest
quality of loaf sugar are used each
year in the manufacture of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy.
In their printing department
eleven printing presses are con-
stantly employed in printing their
advertising matter, labels and
directions. Directions for use are
printed in twenty-eight languages.
They employ thirty-six statesmen,
thirty-two of whom travel in the
United States apd four in foreign
countries and have over one hum
dred employees in their laboratory.
They are now building a new
laboratory, lS8x1l5 feet; four stories
high, fitted throughout with the
most modern appliances. This will
enable them to more than double
their present capacity.
They receive many unsolicited
testimonials from all parts of the
globe. Here is one recently re-
ceived from Old England:

Clover For Hens

If you are fortunate enough to
have some clover, cut it for your
hens. This is the best bulky
food you can get for your hens.
1t takes the place of green food
in winter, and is cheap. Being
bulky it aids in digesting the
other more concentrated foods,
as grain and meats. It is also
rich in mineral food that it is in
a digestible form. 1t will help
make bone and feathers and
furnishes lime for egg shells,
besides supplying the yolk
with plenty of mineral mat
ter. 1t should be cut into half
inch lengths and then steamed
by pouring over it boiling water
and letting it stand, well covered,
over night to make it tender.
With it should be mixed little
ground food and table scraps or
meatand bone.
Cut the clover when in full
bloom, and after it has been we'll
cured it should be stored away
where it will be handy to get next
winter. 1t can be cut on any or
dinary feed cutter or a special
cutter can beobtained for a small
sum from any leader in poultry
supplies.-Indfana Farmer.

Poultry In South America.

A recent caller at the editorial
office of Poultry Monthly, was
Mr.. ]. Herbert Cassels, Buenos
Ayres, S.A., who has been spend
ing a umber of months in vari-
Gus parts of this country, study
ing the practical part of poultry
keeping in it's various branches.
He spent among the rest, several
weeks in the Long Island duck
district, afterwards going to
Homer City, Pa, to acquaint
himself with the theoretical and
practical workings of artificial
incubation. His design is to es-
tablish a poultry-supply house
and a model poultry plant at his
home. Besides a goodly store of
useful knowledge and practical
ideas, he took back with him
some purebred stock of the
American breeds, with which
to lay the foundation of future
successes. There is an immense
field in our sister continent for
the enterprising breeder to work,
and we believe that the Pan
American will furnish a good
handle for pushing trade in that
direction. Poultry Monthly.

Feather Prices.

The money received for the
feathers cuts no small figure with
the profits of those Long Island
duck breeders. While it would
seem that the feathers upon a
single duck don't cut much Of a
figure, they amount to hundreds
of pounds in the aggregate on
many of these farms, and at the
price they are now bringing (43
cents) it means good bit o1
money in a season. White feath'
ers seem to have the preference
and sell for more than colored
White hens feathers are, also,
in good demand, and are bring
ing prices that make them well
worth saving. They are in bet
ter condition if from dry-picked
birds, but if the fowls be scalded,
the feathers should be thorough
ly dried, and lightened up as
much as possible. Here is an
item in favor of white poultry.

The More the Merrier.

AT a certain country manor in Der
byshire there lived many years ago a
iocund squire, noted as much for his
love of a good joke as for his sporting
propensities. Being out hunting one
day he rode so well that the only rider
in front of him was his servant, Sam
my. He, however, soon disappeared, as
in vaulting hedge he dropped into an
old disused quarry on the other side.
The squire, close on Sammy's heels, i'm
mediately followed. He found sammy
shouting warning as hard as his lungs
would permit, but he stopped him
with; "Sam! saml Sam; tha' silly fool;
