Civil War Relics.

The blowing into pieces of the two
monitors OF James Divers shore recalls
to the student of history and the older
citizens who lived during the Civil Wan
the battle between the Monitor and Mer-
rimac. On March s, 1862, the Confeder-
ate iron clad Merrimac appeared at Ham
ton Roads, Va, to break the blockade of
the James river by the Union wal ships.
The Cumberland was sunk ard the Con-
gress forced to surrender.
On the next day a new type of wal
vessel, the Monitor, appeared and caused
the Merrimac to withdraw after a battle
of 4 hours.
This new fighting machine was called
a yankee cheese box on a raft" which
it resembled. 1t was invented by John
Ericsson, a distinguished engineer, of
Sweden, who came to New York in 1888.
To him steam navigation owes the screw
propeller.
Several Monitors were built during the
a fighting machine out OF date, and for
the past several years the government
has been selling them to buyers OF old
scrap iron
The first monitor to arrive and nearest
Ull6 SIlOTG Was bIl0 NdIldnt, WHICH udu q
battle with the Confederate cruiser Talla-
hassee, and received several dents in her
armor plates. The other is the Jason.
They are 225 feet long and 40 feet wide.
The main hull is made of inch iron plates
against which is solid oak 2 feet thick
and 6 feet in height. Outside the oak
were 5 armor plates each an inch thick.
Each vessel carried two guns, u feet long
with Is inch bore.
Thomas Butler u Son, of Boston,
bought these two monitors last March for
about So, 900 each. They cost about
81, 000, 600 each. Since last June |, Eze-
kiel E. Turner, of Boston, has been tear
ing them into pieces with 81 workmen.
The guns, turrets and all but the hull
were torn off in Philadelphia.
They were landed OH Mr.. Divers shore
so as to easily get the plates, torn off, at
low water and dispose of the oak armor
which Mr.. Diver will use to bulkhead his
shore which is washing away. The bare
bulls will be taken to Wilmington and
torn into pieces on a railway.
Each monitor contained about $500
tons of iron worth about SIS a ton. 1t
has been sold to a firm in Charleston, S.
G. Mr.. Turner's pay roll is $275 a week
and he will be about a month at work in
PENIS Grove.

is looking after Butler x Co.'S interest.

BEET PULP IS GREAT
Feeding Experiment at Loveland
Demonstrates Valve

Monday Professor CARLYLE superin-
tended the cutting up of three test
steers taken from $50 fed ON a close
experiment under his direction at
the lOveland sugar factory. There
were three lots fed and while all the
data Is not yet complete the results
ON the three test steers will probab-
ly not be far from the general result
There is very little difference i'm
the quality Of the meat except that
the pulp fed steer is rather sappier
and fatter than the others. Lot No.
! was fed on beet pulp, corn chop.
alfalfa; bot ,, pulp, ground oats and
barley; lot 3, pulp and alfalfa alone.
The two grdIn-led steers tested all
dressed out around 62ioo. The
Gul pied steer dressed about 81 ioa
These percentages were taken warm
After the steers had been hanging
week they were weighed again. Lot
| showed a shrink Of 2.7jaa. lot ,
shrunk , 1872, lot 3 shrunk 2.24os
This shows that the curn-fed steer
shrunk the most and the pulp-fed
steer the least This was one Of the
surprising results, as it was general
ly supposed that the pulp-fcd cattle
would shrink very badly.
The result Of this experiment viii
undoubtedly determine many farm
ers in northern Colorado To 90 in
heavy on beet-pulp feeding next
winter. The sugar company has
made a profit running between SO
and $50 per head on the steers fed
a result rather surprising to the
company. So important Is the re-
suit Of this experiment that there
has been some effort to secure a
monopoly ON the pulp, but the sugar
companies viii not contract it. de-
siring 10 have the pulp fed as large
" as possible on the ground from
which the beets were fed so as to
have a fertilizer. II is probable
that the beet growers viii all do
feeding next winter in order 10 get
the manure for their fields.

Dear ~.r- Tine Fourth f july
il s1an ta be celebrated and We me-
Ieta that we can anticipate the usual
number af accidents. especially those
due o. cannon trecrackers. toy pis-
tolls. bladk cartridges. etc, which
annually occur h is therefore with
the idea 1l preventing as far as pos
sihle. these calamities that this letter
is addressed 10 YOU. ] believe that
many towns and cities of this state
have at one time or another passed
ordinances prohibiting the use 'ol
large cannon crackers. the toy pistol
and those weapons in which blank
cartridges are discharged In many
communities, even though this or
dinance exists. it is seldom enforced
Last wear, as the records Of this Of
fee viii show, few fatal termina-
tions from such accidents occurred.
A Fourth Of July seldom passes but
that almost every physician in the
state is called to attend some child
or adult that has met with an acci-
dent.
One Of the most fatal diseases
namely tetanus, is quite frequently
associated with Fourth Of July in
juries. This can be prevented by
preventing the injuries.
Yours very truly,
