Cost of Ammunition.

The cost of ammunition in modern
battle is much greater than is COM
monty imagined. With the increase
in the range of modern ordnance the
expense has naturally gone up stead
lily. There are in Germany cannons
of Ito tons that the Krupp factory has
turned out which cost every time they
are fred exactly 81, 100. The projec-
tile is worth $3.50 and the powder not
less than $3.50. But this is not all.
There must be added the proper frac-
ton of the value of the gun. which can
be fired only ninety-fve times before
it is completely out of order. Now, a
110-ton gun costs $4,000, and conse-
quently at each discharge it's value
diminishes by 5000. The German
navy has had recently 77-ton gun,
costing $4,000, which can be fired
only 124 times. Each discharge re-
presents the sum of 1920. The Aston
guns can be fired at least los times.
At the Essen factories they can be
built for $4,000. The price of each
shot does not exceed $500. Finally,
for less powerful arms the prices fall
to Sl70, S83 and $65 for each shot.

TAILLESS TARTAR"

Charles II. Rines Verifies Horse Story Told
in Evening Wisconsin,.
The following. from a number of
army horse stories in the Milwaukee
Evening Wisconsin, is substantiated
by Chas. 81. Rines, resident of
Princeton, and a veteran of the civil
war. Upon the day following the
second battle of Bull Run Mr.. Rines
was struggling along behind his regi-
ment,-the first and only time he ever
struggled, so he says,-when he OBJ
served this tailless horse, "Tartar, -
following a gun carriage of Kings
division. Its tail had been cut off as
nicely as would surgeons knife
have amputated it and a cannon ball
had grooved it's flank. The story:
At the second battle of Bull Run
horse belonging to Lieut.. James
Stewart OF battery B, Fourth artil-
lery, was struck by a cannon ball
which carried away his tail and
gouged out many pounds of his flesh.
"Tartar"- was this war horses
name-had been with the battery a
long time. He went with it to Salt
Lake City in 1860, when the Mormons
needed looking after by detachment
Of the United States army under Gen.
Johnson, and naturally was favor
tie, but everybody in battery B could
see that his days of usefulness we're
over. He was turned out. as it was
supposed, to die, while the battery
joined the army in hurried retreat
to Washington. While the brigade to
which battery B was attached was in
camp near HALLS hill, a few miles
from Washington, Tartar" marched
into camp and readily found his way
to his old battery. The brigade
heard lusty cheer over in battery
B. Some one wondered what general
was passing. A messenger was sent
over to find out. He came back with
the remark: Something better than
general caused that cheer; old
Tartar has joined the battery, and
the boys say be shall go with them if
they have to make a horse ambulance
for him.
Veterinary surgeons were set to
work to dress the sufferers CHASTITY

Poultry and Dampness.

Next to draft, dampness is probably
the worst enemy to success with pOul-
try in winter. Both are conducive to
colds, and roup usually follows, and
the flock is practically done for.
Whether roup will start spontaneously
without the introduction of the specific
disease germs we do not know, but if
it cannot roup germs must be ever
present and ready to attack victim
as soon as conditions are right. The
latter is now the accepted theory in re-
gard to tuberculosis in human beings,
and it is not improbable that the same
thing holds true concerning roup in
chickens. Certain it is that when it
once gets a foothold in the flock all
weakly specimens get it, and most of
them go, and such as do not usually
are worthless after having a good
vigorous tuss]e with it, so much so
that experienced poultrymen will not
breed from birds that ever had the
disease, claiming that stock from such
birds have predisposition to an at
tack and take it at the least provoca-
ton.
When the hen house is kept dry,
we'll aired and thoroughly summed
roup seldom appears, and when it
does the mortality is generally small
and confined to weakly specimens
such as lack constitution. Sunlight
and fresh air is deadly combination
to disease germs, and as both are
cheap and plenty in this country, no
hen house ought to be without them.
If the windows are so made that they
can be opened-and they should be-
and so set that they admit the sun to
the part of the henhouse frequented by
the poultry-and they should be that
also--the opening Of them during the
middle of all sunny days when the
wind does not set in such quarter as
to blow directly into the hen house
will do much toward keeping the
flock healthy. In the middle of the
day the hens should be busy scratch
ing, and while they are thus at work
they will generate ample heat to keep
from suffering; in fact the air will
keep them from becoming overheated
and SO from suffering all the more in
the coolest hours of the night when
thew are on the rOOst-DakOta
Farmer.

Talks Of Meteorological Conditions, Rat
tlesnakes and GrOundhogs.
The warm spell that we Minnesotans
had must have almost reached the At
lantic ocean, as a rattlesnake was
found summing itself in the oil regions
of Pennsylvania. This calls to mind
other rattlesnake stories. We recently
heard lady, who is now living in
Benton county, recite a thrilling in
cident that happened in her family
years ago. Two of her boys were
playing near the door when one of
them called loudly for his mother.
She went to the door and the Oldest
boy was holding his brother, who told
his mother that he wanted to pick up
that worm. We can imagine the moth
er's feelings when she saw only few
feet from the boys large rattlesnake
eoiled up ready to strike. Help was
called and the snake killed. After the
lady had related the incident the
young man said that if he had sue
ceeded in picking up that worm he
would not likely have been there to
listen to the story.
There is a man now living in Benton
county who when he was boy nine
years old was bitten in two places by
a rattlesnake near the ankle and at the
time was three miles from home. he
was taken home and a doctor sum-
moned, who gave him a pint and a
half of whisky before it affected him,
but the whisky saved the life of the
boy, and, after several weeks, he fully
recovered. From that time he has
been a sworn enemy of rattlesnakes
and a number Of the reptiles have
fallen victims to his wrath.
How fortunate it is that we have a
few men that are capable of conduct
ing all the affairs of the nation. For
instance; it is reported that when a
bill is before the house that Uncle
Cannon wants passed he whistles and
the house falls into line. He tells the
members that this bill must pass and
they all say faye" If he desires the
bill defeated he tells them to say
no." and they all say it.

How about the hardest part Of the
year? Who knows, and what are we
going to do about the grounding? 1t
was SO cold and the snow so deep that
he could not get out to tell US what
the weather is to be, and those who
have cracks in their buildings through
which the sun shone on Candlemas
day had better stop them up lest the
snow blow in before May.

The Daily News says that we are to
have cold weather six weeks longer, as
the grounding came out and saw his
shadow and went back, but a man in
our town says the grounding had his
hole under a pine tree and when he
came out the sun did not shine upon
him, so he did not see his shadow.
