ate the men who enlist as soldiers, re-
cruiting officer tells an odd story. The
sergeant brought in two would-be re-
cruits and said: "These two young
men are my friends and they want to
enlist, but they won't go unless both
are taken" The officer intimated that
there was room in the army for two
men. 81 know that" laughed the SER
geant, "but it happens that one man is
an inch under height" II am afraid
that will bar him." said the officer. II

chine to stretch me-" said the short
man. He was assured that such ma
chine had not yet been invented. ''Then

ment's expense" observed the officer,

FOURTEEN DAIRY RULES.
II They Are Followed. Any Cow Tint
Is worth Keeping VIII Pay
for Her Feed.

/. Cows must have comfort or they
cannot do well. Give them good bed
and a comfortable stall with as much
liberty as is consistent with security,
cleanliness and convenience.
2. Have the arrangement of the
stalls, cutters and fastenings such that
the cows can be kept clean. Keep the
stable clean.
3. Have the stable ventilated in
such a way as to provide pure air for
cows without making it too cold.
4. Always be kind to cows, then
they will be glad to see you when you
come around. Speak gently to them
and never in angry tones. Remember
Ward c. Whites famous saying: AL
ways speak to COW as you would to
lady"
5. Give cows chance 70 exercise in
the open air when weather is com
| Portable.
G. Milk regularly, at the same time
each day. dividing the day equally be-
| tween milkings; cows in the same or
der and by the same mixers, If pos
sible. Milk quickly. but gently. Get
all the milk each time, but do not
keep on stripping after you have got it.
T. Feed COWS all they will eat OF
the proper kind of food. The concen-
trates should be fed somewhat in pro-
portion to the amount of milk each
COW can be made to give. But in no
case should the concentrates consti-
tute more than half. in weight, of the
dry matter of the dairy ration-a safer
rule is to say one-third. Give only what
they will eat up at once. Have none
left over in the hangers or feed boxes
for them to breathe on and get foul.
S. Feed variety of foods. They will
eat more and digest more because of
it. Feed nothing but sweet, wholesome
food.
o. Feed at the same time each day.
then cows will not be worrying about
their feed.
10. Feed as nearly as practical a bal
anced ration. But all cows should not
be fed alike; those inclined to lay on
flesh should be fed less of the carbo-
hydrates, such as corn, and those in
clined to turn all their feed into milk
should be fed more of such feed.
II. In summer cows should have
good pasture, or other green food or
silage. In winter part of the daily
ration should be silage or roots to en-
able them to do their best.
12. Feed both coarse fodder and con-
centrated feed both morning and
evening. Feed a small or coarse fod-
der at noon if cows have been accus-
toned to it. If cows have not been ac-
customed to it. they may, perhaps. do
as well without the noon feed as by
giving more at the other feeds.
13. Cows should be watered at least
twice day when on dry feed. and the
water should be pure and wholesome
and at a temperature that best suits
them, which is at least 90 or 30 degrees
warmer than ice water.
IA. Cows should have at all times
all the salt their appetites crave. which
is from one TO two ounces each daily.
If the above rules are followed. any
COW that is worth keeping will pay
well for her care and feed. Any cow
that does not so pay should he dis
posed of.-C. p. Goodrich, in Hoard's
Dairyman.

federates off, and after that there
was quiet during the night.
The next morning we found the
Nineteenth Illinois in line on our left.
Soon the confederate sharpshooters
in front of them were getting in their
work and every once in awhile we
could see some Nineteenth Illinois boy
carried to the rear. We talked about
the Nineteenth bearing the brunt of
the skirmishing, and many sugges-
tions were made as to what ought to
he done to relieve them. The discus.
sion resulted in no action, but | de-
cided to make an effort on my own
hook. l selected a stump some dis
tance in front, squarely on the con-
federate flank and not 200 yards dis
tant from their line.

the stump and under cover. l had
30 rounds of ammunition, and
opened on the confederate sharp
shooters and soon had them carrying

commanded my own position. Sew
eral of the sharpshooters made an at.
tempt to reach this cabin, but 1 drove
every one back. At one time n con-
federate ran out from shelter TO as
sist one of the wounded skirmishers
to the rear. ! shouted TO him to keep
back or l would drop him, and he ran
| back to where he belonged.
when my ammunition was ex-
hausted l called back to our boys to
bring me n supply, and our adjutant,
Julius Pam, deliberately walked out
from our line and brought me more
ammunition. When he started to re-
turn l told him to make a run for it,
and / would keep the confederates
down until he reached our rifle pits.
But he replied that he would take
his chances. He said that he had
been cramped up all night in the rifle
pits and he was out for walk, and
he walked every foot of the way back
in a straight line and without stoop-
| ing. l was all this time squarely on
the flank of the confederates, and the
| Nineteenth kept them busy from the
front They kept lodging from tree
to tree, until finally they made a
break and retreated back into their
own rifle pits. There were over 100
mimic bullet marks on my stump.

Ms gun had been discharged, he in
serted the spongestatf into the muz-
zle just as No. 4 on the piece pulled
the lanyard.
In hand-to-hand conflict with
bayonet, saber, lance, or even sponge
staff and rammer, in a close charge, a
soldier may be more certain that his
individual act caused damage. The
dragoon whose saber falls on the per-
son of an opponent can see the chips
fly. But even here ha never knows
the outcome of the inj,lry. A soldier
sees his opponent fall; he doesn't
know whether senseless or dead. The
tide of battle Gibbs and flows. 1t car
ries with it such comparative fixtures
as field-pieces and caissons, and much
n\pre easily men. The soldier is
syept away from the man he dropped,
and he never hears of him again.
Soldiers tell often, and with absorb
ing detail, how many men they killed
in battle. but seldom does soldier
hear his opponents side of the story
he tells. He gets the accounts of the
mass movements of regiments, bat
talions. or even companies, but his
tory, unless in'widely removed, excep-
tional instances, OF personal bravery,
does not deal with the individual sol
der.

Solids and Fat in MIX.

Although the law may fix a minimum
percentage of solids in the milk sold in
market, yet milk varies according to
the kind of cows and the food and wa
ter allowed. 1t is possible to water
milk through the cow, and the milk
from one COW will vary day after day.
The highest per cent. of solids in milk
found in England when tests were
made was 14.49 and the lowest was II .02.
The proportion of fat ranged from 2.2O
to 4.S5 per cent, showing that some OF
the milk was more than twice as rich
in cream us in others. In this country
the percentages of both solids and fat
have been greater where tests have
been made.

There's good story told of a young fel.

to spend the night with friend. During
the entire night he betrayed much restless
ness. which kept the host wide awake, and
finally the slumberer betrayed signs of vio-
lent emotion. He's going to have night
mare, said the friend, ",but he always
grlmbles SO when you wake him up that
] hate to disturb him." He waited awhile
longer, sitting up in bed staring at the mis-
erable sleeper, and, finally becoming
alarmed, he. reused him. He sprang up in
bed, glared wildly around and said:
Where am I? don't see the storm?"
"Why, here in my room," said his host,
soothingly; you remember you stayed all
night with me? l beg your pardon for wax:

THE VETERANS LAST BATTLE

The veteran sits in his easy chair on his
porch at the hour of noon,
And looks thro' the clouds of his long
stemmed pipe o'er the bountiful mead
ows of June,
Till the fire dies out OF the odorous leaves
that under their ashes are hid.
And the fire is uuenched In his yet Keen
eye by the drop of its tremulous lid; ;
Then he mods and he dreams, forgetful of
all-the mortgage, the crops and the
rain;
For the bugles and drums of the long ago
are echoing aloud in his brain.
Let the bugles and drums call on, call on
shrill blast and volurhinous roll;
For they sound to the conflict enacted again
on the field of the slumberer's soul.
Although in the trenches they've moldered
away for many and many year.
In rank upon rank. respondent with arms
the men and their leaders appear;
For phantasy marshals those squadrons of
ghosts that sweep Ger the hoof-cut
plain,
And the keen, bright swords of the long
ago are flashing anew in his brain.
Let the bugles and drums play on, play on,
the sclntillant sword blades wheel
The battle runs riot in tempest of lead and
terrible whirlwnds of steel,
And onward the riders thro' columns of
smoke sweep down in the heart of the
fray,
1The veteran borne in the midst of the
charge on the back of the strenuous
gray,
But he falls from his saddle, still clutchng
at air, and the battle is over again.
BY the bullet that wounded him long ago
to-day he is stretched with the slain.
The bugles and drums have ceased, have
ceased, the cannon roar not on the hill
The stiffness of noon has been broken alone
no mi nf ba bril-
He slips from the arms of his easy chair
and lies outstretched on the floor,
AS he fell from his horse in his younger
days and lay in the dust and the gore.
The doctor will come and mutter "hls
heart" but never doctor can know
He was killed by the bullet that wounded
him once in a battle of long ago.

DRUNKEN MAN IN CHURCH.
Preacher Puts n Drunkard Into His
Pulpit ms n Horrible Example.

There was a dramatic scene at the
Presbyterian church in Kokomo, Ind,
the other night, where a revival is in
progress, conducted by Evangelist
Merton Smith, of Chicago. On front
seat near the pulpit sat drunken sa-
loon porter, who had wandered in the
place in a dazed condition. The
preacher was waxing loud and elo-
quent on the temperance question,
when the intoxicated man arose and
in a stentorian tone denounced him
as a scoundrel and a liar. A number
of women tainted. Don't take him
out!" exclaimed Evangelist Smith, as
the janitor pushed the man towards
the door. at is not the man, but the
liquor in him, that speaks. He is no
worse than / was once" With the
sot standing by his side in the pulpit
the minister continued his discourse,
with the living subject for a horrible
example. After the outburst the man
repented and wept. 1t was a touching
scene, and there were few dry eyes
in the house.

Except in fiction, n soldier never

This is easily accounted for in the
case of gunshot wounds. No one

He may, contrary TO a soldiers usual
custom, have aimed at certain man

PAINFULLY INJURED.
Young Charlie Taylor Falls From Railroad
Bridge.

Charlie Taylor, the nineteen year old
son of Lemuel X. Taylor met with pain
full and perhaps serious accident this
morning while attempting to walk with
his bicycle across the railroad bridge over
Spa creek. The bridge is about twenty
two feet high at the point where the
Young man fell. He had only gotten a
few feet when his bicycle he was leading,
gave lurch, and reaching to catch it he
lost his balance, falling with his wheel
on the sand beneath. In the fall the boy
turned two sommersaults, and struck on
his head. A colored boy who saw the
accident notified his friends and young
Taylor was removed to the home OF his
parents on West street. DR.. Frank H.
Thompson was summoned. and made as
careful an examination OF the young man
as his suffering would permit. II is
thought no bones are broken, but there
may be a confusion of the brain, and
other troubles may possibly develop.
The young mans back was wrenched by
the fall, but the spine is not thought to
be fractured. He was made as comforta-
BILE as possible under the circumstances.
