PUT SUGAR IN THE SOUP.
Smith Thought It Was Tea; Then
He Deliberately Lied
Out of It.

There had been a glorious game of golf,
followed by a jolly dinner at the club
house, relates the Chicago Record Herald.
Sometimes it is not the correct thing
to tell even a truthful story with real
names, hence it happens that it was the
Joneses who gave the spread and the per-
son that happened in was Smith.
Smith is really a man of parts, wealthy,
intelligent and genial and usually knows
whats what" but he is not given to
swell affairs and is not dressy, withal.
A business call had taken Smith to the
club house, and Jones, seeing him, called
him to the table after the others had
begun. Soon as he was seated, being pre-
occupied by salutations from other persons
at the table that he knew, he was absent.
~ sweetening the cup at his elbow, when
Mrs. Jones, hoping to make the matter
quite plain to this plain man, said, shrink
ingly;
"Ah-Mr. Smith-er-that is the soup"
Yes, thank you," Smith nonchalantly
replied. "Yes'm, | understand. But I
always sweeten my bouillon," with the
slightest emphasis on "bouillon." Blu.
Smith was at that moment a prevaricator,
to put it mildly. He really thought the
cup was tea, and probably never tasted
sweetened bouillon in his life.

M WASTED ON INDIAN.
Mr.. Glover Gave Mr.. Grass the Hey"
But He Didn't Cut Any
Fodder.

Sam 7. Clover was sent out to Dakota come
years ago by a Chicago paper when Sitting
Bull was threatening to go on the war
path. John Grass was another Indian at
that time enjoying temporary fame, re-
lates the New York Tribune.
The trouble was soon adjusted, but be-
Sore Mr.. Clover left it occurred to the
army officers that an opportunity for q
meeting between the journalist and the
last-named savage was too good to be
lost. Accordingly, without any hint to
the principals, Capt. Maus called in the
red man and said:
Mr.. Clover, this is Mr.. Grass"
Hey" promptly returned the former,
placing his hand behind his ear.
But the incident convinced me-" Mr..
Clover says, in relating it, that it IS
hopeless to expect to ~civilize the Indian.
Mr.. Grass never cracked a smile. He
looked at me with a scowl, and didn't even
grunt. He couldn't have taken it any
harder if | had been Mr.. Scythe or Col.

What Organization Has Done.

To thorough organization among
farmers are the splendid agricultural
colleges, farmers institutes, rural mail
routes, farmers telephones due. Some
of these enterprises may have been
started by a small group of men who
foresaw their great Importance, but 1t
was not until the majority OF farmers
in a state or section united and de-
manded their rights that anything like
satisfactory results were obtained.
They have done much, but a great deal
remains for their careful attention.
They must never relax their vigilance,
for if they do retrogression is sure

BEST WAY TO SKIN A HOG.
Experts Can Take OFF a Hide in Ten
or Fifteen Minutes and Never
Scratch It.

The butcher cuts off the snout, ears,
tail and feet, and then proceeds as usual
with a sheep or calf, Sitting the skin on
the breast and abdomen, and down each
leg. The skin must be cut from the
flesh; it will not peel or strip in places
as a sleeps will. The entire animal Is
skinned, head and all. The operation is
performed before the animal is hung up,
the skin as it is cut loose being spread
out on the ground or floor to keep the
flesh from coming in contact with any
thing that would soil it. An inexper-
fenced man would at first probably spoil
several hides by cutting them, but an
expert will take off a hide in 10 or Is
minutes and never scratch it with his
knife. AS to the market for the skins,
l have so far been unable to learn where
they are disposed Of. 1t seems to be a
sort Of trade secret among the butchers.
While there are dozens of men in this
vicinity engaged in SHINING hogs, I
find that the hides are all maketed by
two or three men, who buy of the others,
and these spectators do not seem to
care to impart any information con
corning the matter. l am told that the
skins are used in the manufacture of
saddles, shopping bags and pocketbooks.
| also learn that the market has been in
jured of late, by the number of cut skins
that have been sent in, which shows that
a good many inexperienced men have
been taking up the work last winter.
Everything used to go at the top price,
large and small, and cut ones, but now
small ones must go at half price, and
cut mes are thrown out entirely.-E. o.
Gillett, in Rural New Yorker.

SECOND DAY,

Nashville, Tenn, June 15.-The con
vention Of the United Confederate Vet
Grams unanimously elected Lieut.-Gen
Stephen D. Lee commander in chief,
to succeed the late Gen. John B. Cor
don. The credentials committee re-
ported 2,31e delegates present, repre-
senting 726 camps. Missouri has SO
present.
A resolution was adopted requesting
congress to take appropriate action
looking to the care and preservation of
the graves of the confederate dead now
in the various cemeteries in the north
ern states.
A resolution was also adopted con-
tinuing the present system of fixing
each year the place where the conven-
ton shall next be held; this in connec-
ton with a proposition from Nashville
to make this city the permanent meet
ing place. A resolution indorsing the
establishment of a home for poor and
aged confederate women was adopted.
Gen. w. L. Cabell, lieutenant general,
commanding the Department of the
Transmississippi; Gen. S. A. Evans,
commander of the Department of the
Tennessee, and Gen. c. l. Walker, COM
mandilg the Department Of Northern
Virginia, were all enthusiastically re-
elected.
The report of Adjutant General W. e.
Mickle showed that since the last re-
union charters have been issued to 40
new camps, making the total the first
of the year 1863. Of these IS were e.
tablishsd in the Missouri division.
Louisville was selected as the con-
yention city for next year. A resolu-
ton was adopted committing to the
United Sons Of Confederate Veterans
the task of erecting a monument to the
%heroines of confederate days.
Memorial services for dead comrades
we're neld, at which glowing tributes
were paid to the memory of Gen. John
B. Gordon and others.
The United Sons of Confederate Vet
Grams held its second session to-day.
The report of the adjutanG general
showed the general condition of the or
ga~nization unsatisfactory. He reported
that t%wo-thirds Of the camps we're in
arrears and suggested that all camps in
arrears for over two years be dropped.
Many had not even paid charter fees,
The total number Of camps is 4S1, of
which but 104 are in good standing. A
resolution was unanimously adopted
accepting the responsibility OF raising
the fund for the erection of a monu-
ment to the women of the c~onfederacy.
Other events of the day we're the lay
ing of the corner stone Of the monu-
ment to the confederate privates at
Centennial park; a reunion of veterans
by states on the grounds of Wander
bilt university meetings Of Archer's and
Walthnr's brigades.
Tonight there were numerous balls,
receptions and entertainments for the
sponsors and maids of honor.

Strong

Fredericksburg, Ind, June 2O.-Rev.
Enoch P. Stevens, of this place, uses strong
language in speaking of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and he gives good reasons for what
he says:-
81 can't praise Dodd's Kidney Pills too
much" says Mr.. Stevens. They have done
me so much good. l was troubled with
my Kidneys so much hat l had to get
up two or three times in the night, and
sometimes in the day when starting to
the waterhouse the water would come from
me before getting there. Two boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me entirely.
81 have recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to many people, and have never yet
heard Of a failure. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are the things for Kidney Disease and
Rheumatism"
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure the Kid
neys. Good Kidneys ensure pure blood.
Pure blood means good health.

emulate in the houses and yards.
Then, by spraying everything now and
then with a good insectide, the mite
will find it hard work living and final
ly give it up.
The chicken mite is commonly con-
sidered a form of insect life, although
it is not, properly speaking, an insect.
1t is sometimes called the chicken tick
or poultry tick. 1t would probably be
better to apply the term tick to this
parasite and reserve the word mite
for the true itch mite of chickens, the
Sarcoptes mutans Robin and Lanque-
tin. The mite has an average length
of one-twenty-ffth of an inch and its
width is about four-fifths of its length.
1t has eight legs, by means of which It
can move very rapidly from place to
place. In color it is light gray, with
small dark spots showing through the

skin. About one in so or 100 shows
o distinctly red color, varying from II
light to a dark red. This red color is
due to engagement with blood. The
common white louise of the hen, Memo
ron pallilum Nitsch, is longer than the
mite and of a yellowishs white color
BY the aid of figures / and 2 one can
easily identify the chicken mite, ever
with the naked eye. Much aid will be
given, however, by a hand magnifier.
The mites are of peculiar and steal
thy habits Of life, rather unlike that
which n naturally expects from a
parasite. Indeed, they are only semi
parasitic, and, as a rule, remain upon
the fowls only long enough to secure a
meal. They are very active in their
movements and seem to be ever on
the lookout for a victim. On account
OF their vigorous and vicious habits
they may be styled the wolves of the
insect parasites of fowls. The mites
hide in crevices and under objects in
the hen house during the day time,
while the chickens are outside, and lie
in wait for their return. They lay
their eggs and the young are Matched
in these hiding places. A barrel af-
fords an excellent hiding and breeding
place, as the mites lodge between the
slaves and under the hoops. In the
nest they r to be found under the
straw or other nesting material. 1t is
a noteworthy fact that a place which
shows only a few mites on the surface
may contain vast numbers in the GREY
ices or under objects. Often they be.
come so plentiful that they overflow
the hiding places and appear in hordes
upon the exposed surfaces. The de.
scription and figures of the mites are
taken from a bulletin of the veterin-
airy department of the Iowa Agricui-
tural college.-Detroit Free Press.

WORST OF CHICKEN PESTS.
Known as Poultry Mite or Tick and
Endowed with Vicious and
Destructive Habits.

One of the worst pests with which
the poultry raiser has to contend is
the mite, which has the power of in
creasing m%arvelously fast, and is as
vicious in its attacks as a blood-suck-
er. The sitting hen and the newly
Matched chicks suffer most from this
pest, and call for great vigilance on
the part of the poultry raiser to pro-
tect them from it's attacks. It is not
difficult to. keep the pens and chicks
free from mites if proper attention is
given, and litter is not allowed to &C.

THIRD DAY.

Nashville, Tenn, June 17.-As a At
ting climax to the reunion of the Unit
ed Confederate veterans, Nashville
and her thousands of guests gave the
old veterans, as they proudly marched
through the densely-crowded streets,
an ovation which will live long in the
memory of its recipients as we'll as
those who paid the honor. The day
was warm, but the old men marched
unfinchinglyl although the step at
times faltered. There was much con-
fusion caused by poor policing along
the route, but the start was made near
the hour set, and the last veteran
passed the reviewing stand two hours
later. The Seventh cavalry band led
the parade, as this organization, as
we'll as the many other bands in the
long line, played only four pieces, but
gave them over and over again,
Maryland, My Maryland" my OLD
Kentucky Home" 1.-THE Girl l Left
Behind Me-" and Dixie" United
States mail carriers at several places
along the line supplied ice water to
the thirsty veterans.
The fourth divisions, composed prin-
cipally of camps from Tennessee, Ala
bama, Georgia and Mississippi, carried
away the honors for the greatest num-
Der of men in line.
In the reviewing stand on Spruce
street was a distinguished company,
including Mrs. John B. Gordon, the
widow of the former commander-in-
chief. and her daughters.
The veterans held a brief session at
the tabernacle Thursday afternoon to
complete the business of the reunion.
Gen. George p. Harrison, Of Alabama,
introduced a resolution at the request
of the Alabama daughters of the con-
federacy, asking that the veterans ap-
point a committee to confer with tho
daughters upon the matter OF revising
and undermining the words of the
south's most famous song, Dixie" A
prolonged discussion followed. Gen.
Cabell, of Texas, opposed the appoint
ment OF the committee or any action
which would put the veterans in TIE
attitude of suggesting a change Of
words. p,
The convention finally voted to ap-
point the committee as g matter o.
courtesy to the Daughters Of the Con-
federa;y.
The reading of greetings from the
Wisconsin Grand Army veterans, now
in annual encampment at Madison, oc-
casioned prolonged cheering. A suita-
BILE acknowledgment and greeting was
ordered sent by Gen. Lee.

Don't Conht1e Young Turkey

Do not keep the young turkeys in
close quarters, as they cannot stand
confinement. If you have no lot that
you can fasten them in, keep the hen
in a large, roomy coop, on a dry place,
with a hole for the young turks to go
in and out at will. As soon as they
are strong enough to follow the hen,
she can be turned out with them after
the dew is OH the grass. Care should
be taken not to let them stay out too
long at first. as the hen is apt to trail
too far and tire the little turks. Amer

Hens Need Lots of Grit.

With a big flock of fowls it is no
small matter to keep up the supply
of grit. Where natural grit cannot
be easily obtained commercial grit
should be purchased. We are satisfied
that on some Of our farms in the prai.
RE states the securing Of grit by the
fowls is SO difficult that they are un.
able to obtain the quantity required.
This especially true on a soil that
is soft and velvety and free from
gravel. In such cases grit will have
to be bought.
