ANECDOTE OF GENERAL WHEATON.

come tired and scattered, his tremendous voice. believing in the distance, has had the effect of a trumphet call or the ar rival of a regiment of endorsements.
 Brace up. boys" the call will go across the scattered lines There comes "Old Dad" and then rushes into the fight the big bay horse, topped by the big, fierce man, with his black beard and all is over but the shouting.
 Enlisted men returned from service in the islands tell all sorts of little stories of Gen. Wheaton. For instance, there was the night after the landing at San Fa- bian. Six gunboats had gone down the coast to cover the landing of a lot of men under Gen Wheaton. who were loaded on a couple of army transports. While the gunboats shelled the town Wheaton got his men into launches and other small boats and waited for the first chance to get ashore. Once or twice his eagerness led him to push ahead within range of the gunboats fire, and each time he had to face about and re- tire. much to the amusement of the men, bobbing about on the swell in their little boats. Finally the party landed, under a hot fire from the insurgents, and rushed the town. After pickets had been thrown out and all arrangements made for guarding against a night attack, Gen. Wheaton started to turn in, with the idea of catching a few hours sleep. He and his orderly went into a native house on the square and opened the door leading into the corner room. As they did so a couple of privates who had already laid down to sleep on the floor rose sleepily, came to attention, saluted, and started to leave the room.
 Here you!" roared "Old Dad in his terrifying voice. you boys need sleep

just as much as I do. Lie down again and go to sleep.
 So the commanding general and couple of privates went to sleep side by side on the floor. But early in the morning, be- fore any one else was awake, Gen. Wheaton got up and went out all alone on reconnoitring tour. He closed the door, and 1t locked behind him with spring lock.
 Several times during the night strag- glers had come pounding on the door, and had been ordered away by the some- what sulphuric orderly. It happened that the orderly had just got into a sound sleep when the general returned and knocked for admission. The orderly who had no idea that General Wheat on had gone out, woke up hot and angry.
 With all the resources of his pictures que vocabulary he cursed the man who had disturbed him and ordered him to go away under awful penalties. Now you clear out of here and let us sleep. or I'll come out and kick your head off!' he roared.
 "All right sergeant" sounded the deep voice of "Old Dad" all right I'll clear out. But won't you please let me have my field glasses first?"

 The British workhouse system is prob ablv the meanest in the world. All these institutions are under the management of local boards, who starve and scrimp the unfortunate beings In their charge In every way possible. From time to time horrible stories leak out of some one of these places, and then we have a spasm of virtuous indignation in the newspapers. In few days some fresh sensation comes along, the whole thing is forgotten, and the revelations lead to no reform.

 Yarmouth, of fish fame, has Just come to the front with its tale of misery. In the work house there a dozen inmates are compelled to remain in bed because they have no clothes to wear. It seems that when the last new supply of garments was ordered, these persons were in the hospital and not expected to recover. No clothes were made for them and the old ones disappeared. This would seem to be the limit as to economy.
 
 What do you think of law that pro- vides that baby carriages and perambu- lators which are taken out by mothers and nurse maids one nour after sunset ane one hour before sunrise, must be pro vided with a lamp properly trimmed, lighted and attached" under the penalty of a heavy fine? Well, that is one of the enactments now in force in the county of Kent and strict orders have been given for its enforcement.
 Speaking of ridiculous and mouldy leg islation, would you believe that there is still in our statute books an old law passed in the reign of Charles H., under the provisions of which no one may sell an ounce of tobacco or a pennyworth of candy on Sunday? We'll there is, and the fanatical magistrates of several coun- try towns are now enforcing 1t against the small shopkeepers,. who find 1t impos- sible to make a living without the Sum day trade.

But everything has been changed since the Queens demise. King Edward detests old trumpery, has no taste for antiques and wants everything up to date and that of the very best, no matter what the cost may be- His moth CT was most economical, particularly in the closing years of her life, and spent as little as possible on furniture, works of art or even dresses.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Gen. Lloyd Wheaton, whose frankness in expressing his opinions has stirred up a number of senatorial critics, will not lack for defenders Practically without exception the men who have served under him, whom they fondly call "Dad' Wheaton. would fight for him to the last ditch against any odds.
 Even among the general officers of the United States army, including so many men of dauntless courage and splendid character, there are few who rank with Wheaton in personal popularity among the enlisted men. In appearance he is the ideal soldier tall and straight as a pine tree. Ills thick hair is jet black and the lower part of his face Is covered with black beard, set off by pair of long and fiercely pointed black mustaches. Or horseback especially he looks the part of a pirate king. and his voice is a deep bass of tremendous power that can be heard at great distances.
 It is a favorite joke with the soldiers in the islands that "Old Dad'' needs no staff because he can make himself heard half a mile without straining himself. Most endearing of all, from the stand point of the common soldier, General Wheaton never spares himself and many a little outpost, hard pressed by an ov- empowering force of the "niggers,' has been inspired by the roaring command of "Old Dad"-"Go in, boysi Go in!'- while he himself riding like centaur, led the charge far in advance of the ad- vancing column.
 Even his presence is inspiring. In many hot slxirmish when the men have be-

Out of Sluht.

From the Detroit Free Press.
 ''Yes. I have pretty big mouth, for a fact" admitted the candid man, but I have learned to keep it shut, and that counts for something when you take your levels. I received a lesson when was a small boy that I have never for gotten. I was born and brought up on a farm, and I had the country boy habit of going around with my mouth wide open, especially if there was anything unusual going on. One day an uncle, whom I had not seen for years paid us a visit.
 'Hullo, uncle,' said I, looking up at him with my mouth open like a barn door.
 ''He looked at me for moment without answering and then said:
 Close your mouth, sonny, so I can see who you are.
 q took the lesson to my heart and re- solved that from that day I would not allow my mouth to conceal my identity" |"

Benefit of Grinding Grain.

Twenty head of young grade calves
were purchased by the Kansas Expert
ment station during April and May,
1901. The feed of these calves was
gradually changed to skim milk, with
what grain they would eat, composed
of a mixture of whole and ground
Kaffir corn. On June 10, these calves
were divided into two lots. as nearly
equal as possible, the lot to receive
ground Kafhr corn weighing 1870
pounds, or 157 pounds per calf, and the
one to receive whole Kaff1r corn
weighed 1.577 pounds, or 1877 pounds
per head. Each lot was fed all the
skim milk, grain and hay the calves
Ground Kafhr Corn Lot.-For the
112 days under experiment, these ten
calves consumed 14,74S pounds of
skim milk, 1894 pounds of ground
Kafar corn, 1881 pounds of prairie
hay, 125 pounds orchard grass hay,
and 6,222 pounds alfalfa hay. The to-
tai gain of the lot during the expert
ment was 1850 pounds, or la pounds
daily per calf. With skim milk at Is
cents per hundred weight (plus 3 cents
per bushe1 or cents per hundred
weight for grinding), and hay at 81
per ton, the feed cost of raising these
calves amounts to S47.37, or Sab per
head. The cost per hundred pounds
of gain is as follows: Skim milk, $1-40;
grain, $O-49; roughness, $1-1o; total.

Natural Winter LAYERS.

In choosing fowls for winter laying
one must be governed a good deal by
the origin of the breeds. Thus it is
not to be expected that birds of the
Mediterranean class or those deriv
ing their origin from India would
prove as good layers in the far north
birds that originate in regions far
north. The Mediterranean classes
are without doubt good layers, but
for the coolest weather in say Wis
consin we would expect to have the
best result from the offspring of such
breeds those that have been kept
in North China for a thousand years
and have thus been hardened in their
ancestry. The breed characteristics
will crop out often even in the laying
direct accord with the experience of
the farmers of this country. Some
years ago the Farmers Review sent
out inquiries as to what fowls had
been found to be the best winter lay
ers. large number of answers were
received, and the majority of the re-
plies favored the Black Langshap
The Black Langsh ans are from north
China, region where the mercury

-Tou1d s.Iect some breed from tropical
or semi-tropica1 regions, such as the
Leghorns and the games, but for
winter layers would select al
ways birds that have originated in
colder climates.

Feeding Stock in Idaho.

From Farmers Review: The CON
ditfon of ranges here is good this year.
They consist of bunch grass, brance,
and a short grass that comes in the
spring and sometimes in the fall, if we
have the rains to start it. All the
ranges that lie next to the valleys are
teen miles north and northeast. From
that on the range increases in good
ness for 100 miles or more 1t is
stocked with cattle, horses and sheep
more sheep than any other stock,
which are owned in hocks of 5000 to
10000, divided up into bands con-
venient for one man to care for and
then a camp tender looks after the
wants of the several bands. AS gen
era1 thing stock are taken from the
feed yards in March to the ranges and
brought back in November or Decem-
Der to the feed yards, where hay can
be bought for 81 to SIS per ton in one
hundred-ton lots. Horses winter on
the ranges without any feeding al
most every season, and so do cattle in
some places. The horses consist OF
common range stock. Some good cat
tie are being brought and lots OF
blooded sheep are being placed on the
range. We have a good wool market
and that, like our beef and mutton, is
= shipped either east or west, but Ou1
horses generally go cast. The blood
ed stock are more tender than native
animals and need more care, but they
bring a better price.-Jason HallOck

Balanced Rations for Chicks.

Rhode Island Experiment Station:
One mixture of seeds was made as
follows, at the suggestion of the poul-
tryman: For chicks from one day to
six weeks old: Mix four parts cracked
oats, one OF fine cracked wheat, two
of rolled oats, one-half of mi11et seed.
one-half of broken rice. AID two OF
fine scraps. For the first two weeks
we have added one pint of millet seed
leaving out scraps during the first
week Boiled eggs, three for each
fifty chicks, have also been fed.
After six weeks and up to ten
weeks feed the following mixture:
Mix four parts cracked corn. two of
fine cracked corn, one of rolled oats,
one-half of millet, one-half of broken
rice, one of grit and two of scraps
For chicks kept in the colony sys-
tenn give for grain, three parts wheat
and four of cracked corn. Also give
the following mash three times per
week, and daily after ten weeks: Mix
one part ground corn, one of ground
oats, and one of brown shorts.
To feed the meat scraps we made
the seed feed into a mash with boil
ing water, mix the scraps with it,
and covered the mass until it was
well steamed. This mash seems to
While it seemed necessary to feed the
youngest chicks rather oftener, those
ten days old were fed mash in the
morning, green food at noon, and dry

On Ducks.

From Farmers Review The idea
that a duckling covered only with
down if allowed to get entirely wet
is dead duck is prevalent and really
good it is that everyone almost be-
Heves this The down, if it gets en-
tirely wet, is quite a while in drying,
SO long that the duck is very apt to
chill; after it is feathered they shed
the water, thus protecting the down.
so it is doubtful if ever a feathered
ducks down gets wet A down
clothed duckling might enjoy itself
in water, not cold, of a warm sunny
day, with only benefit derived from
the exercise, but how many would
watch that they got to swimming wa
ter only in such favorable times?
Thus it is best to not allow ducklings
water in which they can swim; nor
allow them to be out in the rain until
after they are feathered. But don't
deep vessel, deep enough for them to
trils. If this is neglected the nostril
openings will get clogged with feed
and dirt and the duck will die. This
is the only way they have of blowing
their nose. Ducks blow their nose
with water and hens battle in dust,
but both require lots of grit and char
coal. Little chicks and ducks require
their grit to be in the shape of coarse
sand. or at least a large part of it to
be sand Don't let the downy duck
ings battle in water or get caught
in the rain; they won't come in; it
might not hurt them We have had
some that thrived on it, but it is
ris11y.@Emma Clearwaters-
