Panorama Of Battlefield.

At the top of Cemetery Hill on the
BoorsborO pike fine view can be OBJ
tanned Of the Antietam valley. This
view also includes some of the battle
field To the east the BoOnsboro pike
stretches over hill and down the val
leys of the foothills leading to South
Mountain.
To the southwark on high hill may
be seen an observatory. q slender
frame structure locally known n Nc.
Clellan's lookout. To the southward
the valley of the Antietam narrows ip
its course toward the Burnside Bridge
To the northward we are looking in
the direction of Prye's Bridge. Here
the fields are fruitful and the country
rolling and varied SO that the land
scape is everpleasing in its changing
grades and tiny valleys.
On either side of the pike ut this
point is a cemetery. That at the north
side is the village cemetery, where
for years the citizens of this rural 10
cality have been laid to rest. On the
north side is the National cemetery
one of the many spots in this coun
try where sleep the soldiers who have
cied in the hospitals, and on the battle
fields of the civil war, q part of the
large army that is slowly passing
away. the surviving comrades one By

graves in the National cemetery are

Feeding Young and Old Hens.


On the ordinary farm it is not con,
venient to separate the hens into two
flocks of old and young, and the
farmer will find it necessary to feed
some general purpose ration. This
should consist of not too large .
quantity of carbohydrates, combined
with q considerable quantity of pro
tein. But the farmer that keeps sew.
eral hundred hens can well afford to
separate his flock into two yards OF
old and young. The young and grow
ing birds can use great deal of corr
without becoming fat. Being active
they also burn up in their lungs more
fat than will older birds. There IL
little danger Of getting them too hi
the first winter, especially if they
have an opportunity to exercise by
scratching. The old hens must be
fed more carefully, and care be taken
to restrict their ration of corn. We
have seen many a flock of hens rem.
dered improbable in winter by a toe
heavy feeding of corn. 1t must be
understood that the feeding of any
ration excessively rich in carbohy.
drates would have the same result
but there are few rations on the farm
SO rich in Carbohydrates as corn and
there is little likelihood that these
rations. would be fed. For both old
and young hens a feed of soft food
daily in winter is very good; it will
keep their digestive organs in good
condition and lessen the losses from
Indigestion in the spring.
The Egg and Poultry Trade Of 1902
Since April when storage eggs soll
as low as 141z cents per dozen, prices
have been good and well sustained
Sixteen cents was freely paid in May
and the early part of June. Then
there was q drop of half q cent, but
later Q revival and steady advance
until now, at the close of the year
fresh eggs are bringing 26 cents anG
storage eggs 1917 cents. Fewer egg.
have been placed in cold storage than
in 1901.
The feature of the poultry season
has been the scarcity of fowls ana
high prices realized, in some cases al
most double those of 1901. A cole
wet summer interfered with the rear
ing of young turkeys and not more
than 60 per cent of the usual cror
was grown. At the close of the yeal
dressed turkeys at wholesale were
bringing 17h to IS cents. against
to 10 cents in 1901. and dressed chick.
ems 10 to IL cents, against ~ to s
cent one year ago. The holiday trade
made such heavy drafts on countr,
reserves that light supplies are an
for the balance Of the win
ter.

First colored Man 10 Enlist.

ossssOs~
The first known colored man to en-
list in the army OF the United States
during the civia, war entered q Massa-
chusetts regiment. He was First Ser.
eeant Burrin Smith. Jr. of Boston. He
enlisted on Feb. II. 1868. at the re-
cruiting Office of the fty-fourth regi-
ment infantry, ''colored," Massachu-
sets volunteers.
Smith was about nineteen years old,
was born in Boston. and at the out
break of the war tried to enlist in
one of the Massachusetts, white regi-
ments. The United States govern
ment did not need ''cOlored volun-
teers at, that time. When Gov. An
drew called for colored volunteers
Smith was the first colored man to re-
spOnd. Col. Robert Gould Shaw select
ed Smith, who had been made a ser.
geant in company A. as his orderly.

Monument to Ohio Soldiers.

On that most beautiful drive in the
world to-day. Crest road, Missionary
Ridge, where fought so valiantly
Ohlo's sons, will shortly tower. eighty
feet in the air, a memorial erected by
a grateful state to her heroes, says q
writer in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The contract for this twenty-th0us-
and-dollar monument has been award
ed, the site and design chosen. Four
figures designed by Pausch will stand
upon the base. They are models OF
grace and strength and represent a
cavalryman. an artilleryman, an in
fautryman and a drummer boy. the
only monument to a child in the park.
High upon the shaft will appear the
great seal of the state, and on the
four sides of the enormous base the
single word OHIO. No inscription will
mar the grandeur. An appropriation
of $1,000 has been made for the spe-
cial data to be inscribed on bronze
tablets.
This memorial to Ohio's troops in
the campaign about Chattanooga will
fittingly stand on the crest of the
ridge, bathed each day in the brilliant
rays of a dying sun, whose crimson
and gold typify the crimson flood of
long ago. the golden glory of the mem
ory of those who gave their lives to
their country's cause.

An UusoIved Mystery.

81 have Just returned from q visit 10
the battlefields of Cedar Mountain ana
the Second Manassas after an ab
sence of forty years" said Daniel L.
Reynolds of Canandaigua, n. Y. re-
Gently to a reporter of the washington
STIR. 1T was while the last-named
battle was in progress that something
happened to a member of my COM
pany, and with whom l had been
raised, that has always been to me an
unsOlved mystery. His name was Will
lam Brown and his age at the date
speak of was "a years. He had always
pined for life of adventure. and when
Pope called for volunteer scouts he or
fered his services and was accepted.
This was just prior to the Cedar Noun
tain affair. Prior to the second Ma
nassas Brown had frequently disap-
peared for several days, but in due
time returned all right. and at night
time about the camp fire would fire
our imaginatiOns and excite our envy
over his mcrvelous hairbreadth
escapes from capture and death. He
was missing for good after the Sec
Ond days fight at Bull Run, and the
rest has always been conjecture as to
his fate. The story told by captured
Confederate soldier IS that he was
caught red-handed and was hanged as
a spy.
'It appears. according to the nara
tive related by the soldier mentioned.
tnat during the battle of the first day
q man resembling Brown, dressed in
Confederate gray. rode up to the COM
mander of a division with written or
l1ers from Jackson to move his troops
to q certain portion of the field where
tney could possibly he of use and sud-
denly disappeared. The next forenoon
LOngstreet appeared on the scene, and
the same young man in gray again
rode up to a division commander and
attempted to duplicate the trick. when
he vas recognized by an officer pres
ent. handed over to a drumhead court
martial and hanged on the spot. The
most disQuieting thing about the whole
matter is that rumors have reached
our post from time 20 time that Brown
was not the martyr We pictured him.
but a deserter to the enemy. l am 60

If he can solve the mysterious disap-
pearance of William Brown"

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CATARRR
Just Breathe Hyomei Three Times Day
To Be Cured.

II few years ago someone had said
you can cure catarrh by breathing air
charged with a healing balsam. the
idea would have been ridiculed, and
il remained for r. Il. Booth, that emf
nent investigator, TO discover IN Hy-
omei this method of cure.
Hyomei has performed the most mi
raculous cures OF catarrh. and Is to-
day recognized by leading members OF
the medical profession as the only ad-
vertised remedy that can be relied up
on to do just what 1t claims.
The complete outfit of Hyomei
costs but 81 90, and consists of an in
haler, a medicine dropper and bottle
of Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhai-
err for few minutes four times Q DAY
and il will cure the worst case OF ca
tarrh. 1t soothes and heals the mu-
cous membrane of the air passages,
prevents irritation, and effects q COM
plete and lasting cure.
The treasurer Of the American Life
Insurance Company, J. s. Nugent, OF
New York City, writes. "Hyomea mas
completely cured my daughter OF ca
tarrh, from which she has been sur
ferer for years"
In Annapolis there are scores OF
well-known people who say they have
been cured of catarrh by Hyomei. Ii
it does not cure you Feldmeyer
Brothers will return the money you
paid for Hyomei. This is the strong
est evidence that can be offered as to
their faith in the remedy.
