hOQerS guns to ennlaQe 1t ana drive
them out. AS the piece was being IN
limbered its chief, Corporal Robert
Watrous, approaching the necessity
for instant action, secured double
round of canister, but as he was run
ming with it to the gun he was shot
down. Private Slattery, the No. 2, with
commendable presence of mind, snatch
ed the ammunition from the hands of
his fallen comrade and got into the
gun just as the enemy were rushing to
capture it Some of them were so
close that when the piece was fired
they were literally blown away from
the muzzle.
It was at this time the Sixth Wis
consin, changing front and assisted by
the Fourteenth (Brooklyn) and Nine
ty-ffth New York, charged the railway
cut and captured a part of Davis Mis-
sissippi brigade, with the colors Of the
Second Mississippi.
We had had q hot, exhausting day
of it, fighting first with the cavalry and
then with the infantry; and after it
was all over most Of my men dropped
from shere WEAKNESS, and some of
them were soon asleep. AS they lay
around the guns, resting and waiting
instructions about camping General
Buford rode up and refined in long
enough to say, addressing himself to
the rank and file: Men, you have
done splendidly I never saw bat
terry served so we'll in my life" This
recognition of their services by their
General was ample compensation to
these brave men for the hardships of
the day, and nerved them for the trials
which the morrow's sun would surely
bring.
But we were to have a respite. Ear
ly on the morning Of the I'd the bat
terry was in position just to the east
of the Emmettsburg road. Before open
ing, however, it was withdrawn to
accompany the division to Westmin-
ster, whittier it was sent to guard our
communications, as we'll as to supply
itself with forage, rations and ammuni-
ton, from which it had been separated
many Gays.
In view Of subsequent events, is it
too much to claim for General John Blu
ford that he saved for us the strong pO-
sition of Cemetery Ridge by his bull
dog tenacity in clinging to the line of
Willoughby's Run until the arrival of
the infantry? Is it too much to say
that the presence of Horse Battery "A,
Second Artillery, with its guns strung
out over one-third Of a mile, suggested
to A. z. Hill the existence Of an I'M
known quantity in his front, causing
him to halt deploy and advance with
caution? All this gained time, precious
time, for the arrival of the First
Corps, who accomplished all that brave
men could to stem the advance of over
whelming numbers.
Of the many monuments grazing the
historic field of Gettysburg, none will
commemorate a more deserving char
acter than General John Buford, and
no more fitting position can be chosen
for it than the spot from which the
first gun was fired in this his most
mastery achievement.

Dairy Products of one County.

Dairy Products of One County.
Polk County, Wisconsin, has thirty,
creameries and four cheese factories-
Last year these factories had over
1000 patrons and the number Of cows
owned by them was more than 14,OOO1
In 1905 the crea1neries made 1903, TOO
pounds of butter, which sold for $780,
SOP, and the cheese factories made
5SO,S20 pounds of cheese, which sold
for $53,365, a total of $444,S9S. Most
of these creameries are cooperative.
This is a good illustration of what
intelligent dairy industry will do for al
county when well pursued OF this
county Hoard's Dairyman says: Al
large portion of this country was a
lumber wilderness thirty years ago. 1t
is fair sample of much OF Northern
Wisconsin when taken hold Of by the
hand Of the dairyman.

Pointers ON Feeds.

In experiments made in feeding
straw it was found that linseed meal
and cut straw fattened steers more rap
idly than linseed meal and hay, as the
straw proved the better substance for
separating the linseed meal and pre-
venting and clogging in the stomach!
Corn meal and cut hay proved to be a
better ration than corn meal and cut
straw.

Several dealers have spoken to me
lately of unusual trouble with washed
eggs mixed in with current packings..
These washed eggs do not keep at all
when the weather is even moderately
warm, and it is a serious mistake to
put them in when shipped for any dis
lance to be held, says the New York
Produce Review. When shippers have
local consumptive outlets which use the
eggs up at once it is all right to wash
dirties, for such trade, but they are
absolutely no good for distant ship
ment, and a packer will soon ruin the
reputation of his brand by packing
them with clean unwashed eggs.
1t ought to be well known that wash
ing eggs removes the mucus which
closes up the pores Of the shells, and
the air then has ready access to the
contents, Fastening decay.

Drained Bottom Lands In Illinois.
During the last twenty five years the
cultivation of large tracts of the richest
prairie lands in Illinois has been made
possible by the construction Of large
open bitches and by tile drainage. For
example, in one county in the Illinois
Valley bottoms $4,000 to 100000 acres
of rich alluvial lands have been re-
claimed by this method and rendered
fertile by the subsequent application
of potassium in which the soil was de-
ficient. The same Is true Of large
area in the northwestern part of the
State where a party soil has been rem
dered more fertile by the application
of nOtassium.

Consumption of Turkeys.


1t Is estimated that 2O,O0O,O00 tur-
keys or 2OO,OOO,OOO pounds are con-
sumed in this country during Thanks
giving week every year. Many millions
Of these pass through the Chicago mar
ket on their way to the towns of the
Middle West and to the Eastern COM
mission houses. About 100000 are sold
In Chicago itself during the week.
These turkeys cone from all parts Of
the country, especially Pennsylvania
and the South and West Formerly
some of the New England States had
great regulations as turkey producers,
but the supply has fallen off continu
ally, while at the same time the de-
mand has greatly increased.

NJ. Thomas Gavle and Miss
Celia White were married on the
IS, by the Rev. w. i. Ware,
at the parsonage. Immediately
after the ceremony had been per-
formed, they returned to the
brides fathers, where a select
company had gathered and re-
freshments were served. The
next evening a reception was
given at the grooms fathers, where
all present seemed to enjoy them
selves especially in the dining
room. Among those present
were Rev. w. L. Ware and

Brother Ware seemed to be in

Democrats of this Senatorial Dis
trict have twice conferred upon
me, l beg leave to announce my
candidacy for a denomination as
the Democratic candidate for the

this announcement | feel it to be
pertinent and proper that l should

that has so signally hororcd me,
that should their partialty again
select me as their standard bearer
and ultimately as their represen-
tative, l shall in the future, as l
have endeavored to do in the
past, devote my energy and what
yer ability l may possess to their
service. Having an ambition to
have my course in the Senate
again approved by my constit-
uents, l beg to assure you that
shall make an active canvass Of
the district, giving public &C
counts of my stewardship in
every county, and at the appoint
ments which | shall make l shall
invite my opponent to participate
in the discussion of my public
record and the issues of the hour.
If you shall believe that my
service TO my people as their rep
resentatiYe merits a denomination
at your hands and a continuance
of the generous support you have
heretofore given me, / shall again
be deeply grateful. And if the
uncertainties politics and the
sovereign wisdom of the Democ-
racy Of the Thirty-ninth Sena-
torial District shall retire me to
private life. l shall still be found
fighting in the ranks.
