A CHICKEN-SOUP PLANT.
Hospital Patients Unique Provision
for Plenty of the Prescribed.
Luxury.

Mrs. II. c. Lounsbery, who was
chief nurse at the Sternberg hospital
at Chickamauga park, contributes to
the American Journal of Nursing
some amusing "reminiscences of hos
pital life. A lady had given her
hundred dollars to spend for luXuries
for the sick soldiers.
While the doctor was making his
rounds one morning he said to the
nurse in the patients hearing: "This
man may have some chicken soup to-
morrow if his temperature keeps
down to normal"
The next day there was great
"peep-peeping" under the mans bed.
The nurse investigated and found
that he had dozen tiny chickens
there in a box. The patient eX-
planned that the doctor had said he
might have chicken soup, and he had
bought these chickens for four dol
lars from a darby who had passed
through the ward. He wanted to be
sure his soup was made from real
chickens.
"But," said the nurse, "these are
too little to cook"
"Well, yes" said the man, "but
they'll grow, and l reckoned the boys
would bring the crumbs to feed en-
The case was brought to Mrs.
Lounsbery, who shuddered at the
idea of bringing up chickens under
the bed of a typhoid-fever patient.
She bought the chickens and gave tho
man his four dollars, and then sent
him some canned chicken soup. But
she says she always thought he felt
aggrieved that she did allow him to
maintain his private poultry-yard.

Gently. There was recently filed
in the land office of the state
q report of the work under the
act of congress requiring the secretary
of the interior to establish the Tooth
meridian which forms part of the
eastern boundary of Texas. 1t was at
first believed that Texas would gain
an eight-mile strip from Indian terri
tory, but on the contrary, according
othe report, Texas will probably loose
strip three-quarters of a mile wide.
Should this report be considered as
final people holding property on what
was always considered the Texas side
will lose their title as Texas deed to
the land will not be legal.
THE same condition prevails along
the entire panhandle on the western
end of the state. Surveyors have fixed
the 103d meridian so as to cut off a strip
three miles wide, embracing 100000
acres, from the lone star state and it
has recently been brought to light that
New Mexico disputes the boundary line

MIxed RatIons for Farm Horaes.

Mixed Ratlons for Farm Horses.
Many horse feeders regard oats as
almost necessary. and II Is doubtless
true that In large regions OF the Unit
ed States the most Common ration for
horses consists OF oats and hay, with
an occasional bran mash. In the
South and West corn seems TO be the
most common feed. especially in rural
districts. Many experiments have
been reported which support the
theory that horses may be satisfac-
torily fed and reasonable combination
OF wholesome materials which supplies

the comparative value OF number OF
mixed rations with the station farm
horses during a period Of two years.
The rations were so planned that an
abundance OF nutrltlve material was
supplied by grain mixtures which were
cheaper than oats. Throughout the
gr1tor part OF tho experimental period
hay was fed with the grain. During
a part OF the time corn fodder was
used. The comparative merits OF the
