TELEGRAPH IN MoRoLAND.
Signal Men Have Many Destructive
Enemies of the Wires to
Contend With.

In the field it was our practice to
throw up a fly, canvas, or sometimes
only a shelter half, and under this place
the instrument and get to work
sending and delivering messages with
the wire on the ground. If possible,
gangs of natives were secured and light,
poles put up to string the wires. IT
permanency of the camp were assured.
then the corps would undertake to es-
tablish a good line on c%ocoanut or 9TH
er strong poles. But in garrison, n
has only to look for a coy nook in one
of the Spanish forts and here he finds
not only excellent quarters for office
work, but a good place to sleep in, says
the Engineering Magazine.
The Spanish took every precaution to
protect their telegraph and signal tow
ers, and usually employed one of the
corner or end towers of the fort for the
urpos There is no possible means
for entering at the front or sides, be-
cause it is all solid masonry. The rear
door is about rs feet above the ground,
and is reached by steps. These steps
can be hauled up for protection. There
are several port holes in the tower, and.
az the signal men are properly armed,
q good resistance could be made in the
event of a Moro attack.
The signal men have three or four
classes of enemies of the wires to deal
with. First, there r the ladrone
Moros, who chop out sections of tho
wire for the sake Of the wire for me-
chanical use on their farms. Then
there are the foes who cut down poles
and fell trees across the wires and the
like to cut of communication and you
have to travel out in the rains or the
night with a small guard and half .
dozen linemen to repair the break.
Then the white ants are a bother, for
they eat the woodwork of the poles in
places in a few months, and the pole
topples over. Then there are the gales
that sweep debris on the wires and stop
operations. Earthquakes have occurred
twice in the past year with such vio-
lence that the wires have been wrecked
along mountain sides by landslides.

FEEDING DAIRY cows.
st'ns Summary Of Experiment.
by Prof. May ut The
Kentucky station,

Prot. D. W. May, Of the Kentucky
experiment station, is the author NJ
q recent bulletin on the feeding of
dairy COWS, which may be summarized
as follows:
:. oelect COWS Of dairy type. While
pa1e-Dred animals will bring a higher
p4ace, they will also tend more to re-
produce the dairy type, and are there
Fore recommended. =
=. Take strict account of the cost or
milk and butter from each individual
COW OF the herd, SO that the unprott-
able .one may be culled out.
.. Exercise and pure air are very
essential to the best results from
mich cows, but exposure to severe
weather, especially cold rains, should
be avoided.
4. Feed to get the largest amount Of
milk with profit. The yield Of milk.
and thereby the yield of butter, is
greatly influenced by the mount and
character of the feed, the percentage
OF tat remaining fairly constant.
o. Increase the amount and the
length OF the season of pastures, for
.hey represent profitable gains in
uairying.
.. Good roughness is essential in
dalvying, and the more palatable these
FOODS may be, the more of the higher
priced grain feeds they will replace.
or our coarse feeds grass, o sllage
alfalfa and clover hay rank high.
e. Study the profits in grain feeding
IN order to avoid giving more grain
than the value of the resulting in.
creased yield. Our leading grain "a
ton Is a combination of ground corr
n bran. This ration may, under
some circumstances, be bettered OF
cheapened by the addition of certain
by-products of cereal and oil mills.

Valley. City, N. Oak, July 27th.-Mrs.
Matilda M. Boucher of this place tells how
she found a friend in the following words:
For years l suffered with a dizziness in
my head and could get nothing to cure me
till about two years ago when l was advised
cured me before l had used the whole Of the
first box, and l haven't been troubled since.
In January Of this year I had an attack
Of Sciatica that made me almost helpless,
and remembering how much Dodd's Kid
ney Pills had done for me before, l sent and
got some and began to take them at once.
in three weeks l was well, and not a
TRACE of the Sciatica left, and I have. been
well ever since.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills have certainly been
of great benefit to me. I have found them
a friend in time of sickness, and I will al
ways recommend them to every one suffer
ing with the troubles that bothered me-"
