ANSLEY.-Mr. Lewis Is putting
down the two and q half inch casing
we'll for the town water system, and
at . depth of 120 feet met with q con-
dition that he is unable to explain.
All the hydraulic well machinery was
working perfectly, the water coming
mp on the outside of the casing, as
usual. when all at once the well casing
raised twelve to fifteen inches. Old
well diggers here are unable to &C
count for this strange force.

Did Not Think Il Much.

Says q veteran: "A man, writing on
the third day at Stone river, said:
We didn't do much yesterday except
get ready for the rebs. 1t was like
working in the old gravel banks at
home About 2 O'Clock two more
divisions came over from the right
and settled near us, and We heard ar
tillery ana wagons moving quite near
us in the rear. Everything was quiet
in front, unusually quiet, and we
thought things we're moving all right
when there was q roar of musketry
and the air full of flying bullets. Be-
fore We could lower our rifles to the
ground, chips and splinters were flying
from them. We blazed away as hard
as We could. Our own cannon fired
over us. We hugged the ground close
and kept pegging away. 1t didn't seem
to me we were doing much good, but
we fired as rapidly as we could load.
"'Suddenly our own artillery ceased
firing and thought the game was up.
Then we were ordered forward and We
went at q full run down into the
smoke in front. We crashed into q
rebel line and went over. Some of the
boys who found themselves in the rear
of the first rebel line dubbed their
muskets and grabbed the men near
est them. There was q rough and
tumble fight and It seemed to me we
were wasting our time when the rebels
surrendered. After res.ing a minute
we started forward again, and 1t seem
ed to me the whole army was going
forward with US. Just at dusk the
General rode up. said we had done
ver- well. indeed, and ordered us to
return to our intrenchments.'
This is a description Of the repulse
Of Breckenridge's corps on the left.
one of the most decisive and pictur-
esque battles of the civil war. The
man who wrote the letter was In one
of the regiments that led the charge
that drove back the flower of Gen.
Rragg's army. The artillery firing to
which he refers was from sixty cannon
Elassed in the rear and on the flank of
his division. The defeat or repulse of
Breckenridge gave the Union army
the splendid victory of Stone river,
and yet this man in the front line of
the battle wrote of it sicply as II he
had been describing a county fair at
home"

Monument To veterans,

monument 70 veterans.
Great was the crowd assembled in
the County Court House yard at Media
to witness the unveiling of the monu-
ment erected in memory of the sol
diers and sailors from Delaware coun.
ty who fought and died in the civil
war.
A parade, in which more than 5000
persons took part, was the first thing
on the program. Fourteen bands were
in line. with many G. A. r. Posts from
nearby towns. The veterans marched
with the precision shown when they
were fighting for the Union. In the
procession, too. we're all the militia
companies in the county, fire cOmpa-
nies, many civic organizations, and
200 school children waving small flags.
AT Shiloh" said the colonel, two
of WOlfOrd's men rode along the lines
on the second day of the battle, when
we knew the regiment was fifty or
hundred miles away. They wanted to
see for themselves how the fight was
going. In the Knoxville campaign We
came early one morning on some of
Wolford's men on picket duty. The
boys said If the pickets belonged to
any other cavalry regiment we would
know where we were. but rs VOL
ford's men might be anywhere, their
presence in our front gave US no hint
as to where we we're. except that We
were near the enemy. Wilder's men,
by the way, had the same sort of facil-
ity in being where no one expected to
see them."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Quick Returns from Poultry.

Poultry gives quick returns to the
investor. There is no other branch
Of live stock producing that compares
with poultry raising in this regard.
In the raising of beeves, horses, sheep
and swine considerable time must
elapse before the returns are made
on the investment. Not SO the poul-
try business. ~ year is q long time
in the poultry business. II a man
wishes to raise broilers. he buys an
incubator In November. buys his eggs
to put into it a short time afterwards
and In the months of early spring
has marketed his two-pound birds and
Is ready to reinvest. Even II he
wants to produce winter eggs, he does
not require year to get returns. He
matches his chicks from hens or in
cubators in March, April and May
and by December is taking In money
from the sale Of his eggs. The farm
er's son or daughter can take advan-
tage to invest some pocket money in
. real business, and get not only
pleasure but profit from 1t. This
fact should lead many of the young
people on the farms to go into the
poultry business on . small scale.
Ten thousand flocks might be start
ed this spring by these youthful ex-
and be made to yield
some returns by Christmas. Hun
dreds of boys on our farms are going
into experimental corn raising on q
small scale. why not some others
go into experimental poultry raising!
This is q field for the girls as well as
for the boys. Let the matter of quick
returns be made q test. It would be
to learn the records made
along this line. We hope that many
of our young friends will give the
matter their consideration.

S0eeeo8S0u management OF Geese.
From Farmers' Review: The rear
ing Of geese for market and exhibition
purposes II properly managed. will
bring in . considerable income, with
little expense. A few suggestions may
be OF interest and help u those unac-
Quainted with their management.
have had best success by dividing my
stock into small hocks of one dozen
each at the breeding season. each
fl0ck consist: lg of males and f.
males. II left to themselves geese will
pair, II sexes are of equal number, a.
though 1-3 males and 20 females will
give good results. The dividing into
small i1ocks necessitates expense for
fencing, but rs tie fence is about the
only item Of cost In providing quar-
tiers for them It is Insignificant when
compared with the expense of poultry
houses. The shelter for geese may
be OF the rudest kind. With the ex-
ceptton OF severe storms in winter
they need no shelter except shade. af-
forded by bushes or trees. II one is
SO fortunate as to have q pond. the
yards should extend some little dis
lance into It and the eggs will prove
more fertile.
Water to swim In Is not necessarily
essential, however, for have had ex-
cellent results from tubs and small
tanks sunk in the ground. Barrels
placed on the side may be used for
nests II desired, but geese are gener-
ally Indifferent to nests provided for
them. Geese are largely self-support-
Ing. They pasture much the same as
cattle. Breeding geese should be pro-
cured before the breeding season, for
In new quarters geese do not lay 80
well nor mate SO freely. Results from
young geese. too, are generally unsat-
tsfactOry. Eggs do not hatch well
and eoslings lack vigOr. l have had
experience with several varieties. but
prefer the Toulouse. They are of lar
gest size. probably the best layers.
and they are equal II not superior to
any other variety In the amount of
feathers produced in the year. And
this Is very important fact to be con-
when it comes to the matter
Of profit. I consider it most profitable
to keep only tho best Of pure-bred
stock and produce stock for fancy and
purposes. It costs no more
to raise them and the stock when
raised commands q much higher price.
There is also the additional advantage
Of being able to sell all surplus eggs
Il fancy breeding purposes at great
above the market price.
Leese are long lived and If properly
are profitable to a great age.
