fus A. Soule of the Massachusetts, Sen.
ate was the only guest. He was .
member of the old Third regiment,
from which the Fifty-eighth vas re-
cruited for the remainder of the war.
and he is looked upon as a comrade
of the Fifty eighth.
He stated that his great-grandfather
was an officer In the revolutionary
var his grandfather was in the war
of 1872. both of whom bore the same
name, George Durham, and his u
sin. another George Durham, haa en-
listed and became an officer in the
Fffty-eighth regiment.
President Soule thought that it was
q mistake that none of his family en-.
listed in the Mexican war. He SUD
posed the reason to be that the
Georges had run out.
Massachusetts, has never forgotten
her soldiers. he continued. for from
the outset she has been q leader IN

The laws OF this state no soldier need

thing which all Of us ought to be glad
and proud Of. When the soldiers need

the last year OF the war. it put more
work into that year than any OF the
other regiments that served through

irish Locking for African Market.

Irish Locking for African Market.
Reports from ireland indicate that
the Irish are reaching out for the
South African market. In some parts
Of South Africa butter Is reported rs
selling at IS cents per pound and to b.
Of inferior quality even at that price.
The Irish creamerymen and dairymen
think they have as good . chance to
take this market as any others. They
claim that state aid to foreign dairy
men is preventing large sales Of Irish
butter in England. They would there
fore look elsewhere. The queer thing
to q distant observer is that among the
competitors that are driving the Irish
butter out Of the English market are
enumerated the Australians. Now IL
the Australians can send butter all the
way to London and successfully con-
pete with Irish butter. what will pre-
vent the Australians doing the same
thing in South Africa? To US 1t does
not look possible for the Irish to wage
q successful warfare of this kind In .

Corn for Calves.

Calves may be fed whole corn At .
very early age, and they will then
make better use Of 1t than they will
later. Up to nearly . year Of age .
calf will digest whole corr fully or
nearly 20, much better than In later
years. The stomachs at that time are
engaged in taking care Of concentrates
rather than Of hay. All the food that
goes through II thus digested. When
the time for eating hay comes the
four stomachs get into operation prin-
cipally for the purpose Of consuming
coarse folders and in that case the
grain fed goes through whole unless II

Mites on Cattle and Sheen.

The mite which causes cattle itch.

mite which causes sheep scab-both

sheep or other animals. The itch mites

Not long since charges were made
against Rev. j. H. Cohron, pastor of
Central Baptist church, St. Louis, Mo.
A council of twenty Caucasian minis
tiers declared that the charges were
not sustained by the evidence. Then
a council of ten American minis
tiers deliberated over the matter and
came to the conclusion that the dea-
cons were right and Pastor Cohron
wrong. Rev. Cohron was not sum-
moned and had no part in the proceed
ings. 1t is said that the trouble was
all caused by the fact that Rev. Cohron
married charming widow who was
not member of his flock and the sis
tiers of the church became jealous
thereat.
