AFTER THE FIGHT.


He went away to fight his couptry's foes.
Because he thought his country's cause
was fair;
No clanking sword hung at his side, he
chose
To march back in the ranks and battle
there.
The orders that were given he obeyed,
Wherever he was told to go he went;
He waded through the swamps there were
to wade,
A unit in a loyal regiment
But they haven't put his name
On the shining scroll Of fame,
He IN working as he had to work before;
All he did was bravely fight
For the cause he thought was right,
And the honor Of the uniform he wore.
He suffered in the rain and in the sun,
He plunged into the thickets with the
rest;
In the fiercest of the fighting that was
He shouted and he shot and did his
best.
The man who gave him orders from the
Is applauded for the noble part he
When he lifts his hat the frantic people
cheer
O for the reputation he has made!
They have proudly put his name
On the shining scroll of fame,
He is honored where they knew him not
before,
For he babe them go and fight
For the cause they thought was right.
And the glory of the noble flag they bore!
The man who wears the shoulder straps
returns
To glory and to office, but the one
Who charges and who loads and hres
learns
That the private's nothing when he
drops the gun'
The man who swings the sword deserves
his praise
And earns the fair reward they give him
when
He settles down again to peaceful ways
But how about his brave and battered
men?
They partake not of his fame
They must toll again the same
Az they toiled and as they struggled on
before
Still, they had the chance to fight
For the cause they thought was right,
And the glory of the uniforms they wore'

ROUGH RIDER WAYS.
New ZeaIanders, Australians and
Canadians Are Like Our
American HOrsemen.

The Swagger Guards and the splen-
did Lancers in South Africa have al
ready become part of the dirtiest army
in the world, says Julian Ralph, in Col
lier's Weekly. The dirtiest because
there's no such thing as keeping clean.
We live in dust, eat dust, drink dust,
breathe dust, and dust coats us all
from head to foot. Hundreds of one
time dandies have long since ceased to
shave, and, until we came to the Mod
der river, a man who washed all over
was sure to boast of it and be pointed
out to the others. The officers without
swords and without stars are as like
their men as two peas; in fact, we are
like an army of dustmen with no diff
ference among us except that Lord
Methuen and Gen. Pole-Carew are still
as tidy as if they were at home. But
they are generals and ought to be
marked men in every way. AS l walk
through the camp 1 notice more and
more men in soft SLOUGH hats. They
have lost their helmets in battle or
worn them out; but the wonder
is that in an old-world army they are
allowed to make such a departure.
Finally, who are the most admired OF
all the soldiers? Who are the heroes
in their comrades eyes? Why, the New
Zealanders, Australians and Canadi-
and. And what do they look like? So
like American scouts and rough riders
that my heart warns every time see
them. They ride as our boys do with
the horse, as If each man was part OF
his steed. They carry their guns any
way they please. They wear their
SLOUGH hats as they Rke-turned up,
turned down, or caught up at one side.
1t is said that the sword has gone for
ever from the field of war

TRUST OF FARMERS.
Untoue Project to Be Proposed at the
Coming Agricultural Congress
In Paris.

The uniting of all the farmers of tho
world in sort of international trust
or agreement to restrict the produc'
ton of wheat and to raise prices is the
project which it is hoped to carry out
at the International Agricultural con
ference to be held in Paris July to 10
1t is proposed to ask the farmers OF the
world to reduce their wheat output by
20 per cent, and not to sell bushel
for less than one dollar.
j. c. Hanley, of st. Paul, execu'
tive agent of the Farmers alliance and
Industrial union, the National Cotton
Growers association, the Farmers
Federation of the Mississippi Valley
and the National Grain Growers asso'
citation, is the chief promoter of the
International Agricultural trust IL
America. Prof. G. Rutland, OF the
University of Fribourg, Switzerland, is
the chief promoter of the plan in Eu'
rope. The idea was conceived by these
two men Independently.
Mr.. Hanley has been worker in the
interests of the farmers for years. He
has been interested in many hold-your'
wheat schemes and is prominently as
sociated with the farmers elevator
and various cooperative undertakings
He has for years studied the problem
of wheat prices and is at present very
active in promoting legislation by con-
gress in the interest of the farmers
He has long been of the opinion that
if the farmers would only get together
and come to an understanding as to
limiting production and would agree 10
sell only when their price could be OBJ
tanned they could easily master the
situation. AS professor of economics
Prof. Rutland had come to the same
conclusion. His study of the agrarian
problems of different civilized coun-
tries led him to believe that the only
cure for the widespread troubles OF
farmers, which are much more severe in
the old than in the new world, is 10 re-
strict production. Both Mr.. Hanley
and the professor were hard at work
getting the idea into practice when
they encountered each other through
correspondence. Since then they have
been working in harmony with CON-
mon idea, namely to persuade the In
ternational Agricultural congress to
indorse the idea and recommend it tc
the various associations present al
the conference for application next
year.-N. Y. Sun.

CLOVER SUBSTITUTE.
Various Experiment stations Have
Recently Issued Gratifying Re-
ports on the Soy Bean.

The soy or SOFA bean is an upright,
stiff-stemmed, branching bean, intro
duced a few years ago from Japan,
which is rapidly coming to the front as
q most valuable forage plant. 1t has
Dven grown for several years by the
Ohio experiment station with very sat
isfactory results. Planted on some of
our poorest soils, it has produced two
to three tons OF excellent dry forage or
hay per acre, which is eaten with rel
ish by all kinds of stock. AS a crop to
;urn under for green manuring we dc
not know its equal. AS the soy bean is
a warm weather plant it should not BE-
planted before the last of May in north
arm Ohio, nor before the middle in the
southern part of the state. When
planted for forage it is sown at the
rate of a bushel and half to the acre
on well-prepared land, sowing with the
wheat drill with all the runs open.
Thus sown it soon covers the ground
and there is no trouble from weeds o!
foxtail. 1t should be harvested before
frost, and cured as hay. The soy bean.
like clover, adds nitrogen to the soil.
and it is therefore a renovating, instead
of an exhausting crop. 1t is especially
suited to take the place of clover in
systematic rotation where the clover
has been killed out by severe winters,
as is the case at present over large
part of Ohio, or where the spring seed
ing of clover has failed to catch. The
Ohio experiment station has used il
in such cases with such good results
that it feels justified in urging the
farmers of the state to give it care
full trial. There are several varieties
of soy beans, some of which will ma
ture seed in Ohio, while others will not.
AS a rule, the latter class are more
valuable for forage, as they make
larger growth. The beans, however,
which are produced at the rate of ten
to twenty bushels per acre, are a val
liable feeding stuff, as they are quite
high in protein, and to some extent
take the place of such materials as
linseed meal in the ration. The Kan
sas experiment station has fed them
to fattening hogs with the result of
effecting large saving in the quanti-
ty of food required to make a pound
of pork. and others report similar re-
suits in feeding them to sheep. The
experiment station has no seed of these
beans for distribution, but it may be
procured of most of the principal
seedsmen.

NAMES WOODCHUCK MAN.
Like the Animal He Goes to sleep
Every Fall and Sleeps on
Until Spring.

"If don't wake up before the blue
birds come" said Cyrus Brown on the
evening of December 13, 1892 burn
a match under my nose and stick a
needle in my arms. I want to be out
in the woods by the time the sap gets
to running"
Mr.. Brown is known locally as the
"woodchuck man." so called because
he has slept continuously through the
winter months for the past II years,
beginning his long nap before the
middle of December and coming out
nbout March 20. He is nearly 10 years
old. and until he was hit in the head
by a falling limb while working in the
woods in the winter of 1883 he had
been a very robust man. He was fell
ing logs on lot some distance from
camp. and when he did not come in
to supper men went out and found
him lying senseless under a fallen
limb, with a scalp wound on the top
of his head.
After lying in a comatose condition
for three days he was wrapped in
warm blankets and put in hogshead
filled with straw. to be carried 80
miles to the nearest railroad station.
Everybody expected that he would be
dead when he reached home, but there
was no apparent change in his condi-
ton. He remained in a deathlike
sleep all winter About once a week
he took half a pint of brandy and
four raw eggs, and then fell asleep
again as If 1t was the only thing for
him to do. The doctors who visited
him tried many experiments in the
hope of waking him up, but without
any success.
Meantime his body had turned to a
chalky white color and his tempera-
ture had fallen to near the freezing
point. One doctor who had come on
from New Brunswick to see him told
his family that he was dead beyond
question, and that this faint agitation
that could be felt over his heart was
no more than n reflex action of the
muscles. A coffin was ordered and the
burial robes were made ready, when
his body heat began to go up. 1t rose
two or three degrees during the day
and fell back a degree or less in the
night, but, though the gain was small
it was in the right direction, so the
family postponed the funeral and
waited.
After the animal heat in his body
had reached 70 degrees pulsations
were felt in his wrists and his chest
rose and fell from 70 to Is times an
hour, indicating that respiration had
set In. The coffin was put out of sight
and on March p the sick man opened
his eyes and called for food. lie ate
hearty meal slept three days longer
and then got up and went about his
work as if nothing had happened
Every year since then he has dropped
off to sleep at the beginning of settled
cold weather and has not awakened
until the early spring birds come
north. In the warm weather he
seems as active and vigorous as he
ever was, although his memory has
failed of late, and at times he com
plains of headaches. The doctors give
no name to the malady, but say that
it is due to a torpid condition of the
body which is allied to the hiberna-
ton of animals. For want Of better
title the people have named him the
