THE PURITAN SPIRIT.

By Rev. r.. s. Storrs, ID. ID.
Text.-"One generation shall praise
thy works to another, and shall de-
clare thy mighty s''-Psalm cxly: T.
The Puritan spirit survived the early
colonial times, always seeking not to
decorate life Or to ornament society,
out to assert personal freedom under
God, and to innovate for Righteousness.
leading the march toward better ages.
1t sought always to lay foundations,
to build great walls, and then was
ready to leave it to others to tone and
color them and set the pictured glass
in the windows.
Ihis spirit is by no means dead in
the land, though secular success may
seem at times to have fettered or dis
solved it; though a daintier culture
may have made men insensitive, If not
positively averse, to its austere dignity
and power; though it may almost seem
deluged and buried under the rush of
foreign immigration, from lands whose
manners and moral life it has not
trained. 1t will surely re-appear, If too
daring attempts are made on the an
cient order and faith of the New Eng
land churches, or on that system of
public schools which is to us a great
inheritance; or If socialistic, anarchic
theories try to minister to passion, to
subvert public order, to conquer, de-
file, and despoil the continent. In it is
really, as l believe, our assurance of
the future. Without it our civilization
will rot.
We want the same temper amid the
changed world in which our personal
lot has been cast, which has been in
those who have stood, in all their ages,
against corruption in the church or in
the state with hearts that no more
failed, and brows that no more
blanched than does the rock before the
rush Of the storm the same temper
which was in our fathers, 27O years
ago, when they left whatever was beau
tiful at home in obedience to conscience,
and faced without fiinching the sea
and the savage; when they sought not
high things for themselves, and were
joyfully ready to be stepping stones for
others, if they might advance the king
dom of God; but when they gave to this
New England life which has moulded
it's rugged strength from that day to
this, has made it monument surpass-
ing all others, and has made 1t SEM
mary of character and Of power for all
the land; life, please God, which shall
never be extinct among the stronger
souls of men, till the earth itself shall
have vanished like a dream!

the cattle to go from one pasture to
the other at will. AS shown in the
sketch, the opening in the fence may
be as wide as desired. Two by twelve
inch plank are nailed to the fence posts
about four or six inches from the
ground, and two extra posts are set out
from the fence about foot. The plank
is nailed to the inside of these posts,
and this plank should be about four
feet longer than the one fastened to
the fence 50 as to go by the opening at
each end about two feet. The hogs
cannot jump the two planks, and small
jump over, as they are lengthwise Of
hogs that go between them cannot
the opening. The cattle will readily
step over. The same plan may be used
for sheep, only three planks may be
necessary to retain them, although the
writer uses only two for them Also

D. Fl. StovalI says a nelghbor who
makes a good living from his apfary
successfully winters his bees through
the cold months in a cellar provided
for the purpose. He states that bees
may be successfully wintered in cellars
provided the cellar is given over entire
ly to the bees and used for no other
purpose. There Is always an I'M
healthy odor, that is as disastrous to-
bees as anything else, emitted from de-
cayed fruits, vegetables and such things
as are usually stored in cellars. The
bee cellar should not be entered nor
disturbed any more than is absolutely
necessary 1t should be made a quiet,
unmolested home for the little honey
makers.

Horses and Mules.


There has been a rapid increase the
last few years in the number and value
Of the horses and mules in the United
States
In 1900 there were 1854, 900 horses
and mules in the United States Dur
ing the next five years there was an
increases of 27.7 per cent, SO that on
January /, 1905, the number of horses
and mules had increased to 10, GAG, 600,
but the increase did not stop at that
rate. On the first Of January, 1907,
there were no less than %, 900
horses and mules, showing an increase
of - per cent during the two years
subsequent to 1905.
Those who are inclined to talk over
production at the present are confront
ed with the indisputable fact that dur
ing the seven years when the Increase
In numbers amounted to 80 per cent
there was also an increase in price per
head amounting to over 80 per cent.
Thus on January /, 1900, our horses
and mules were valued at $715, 1888, 900,
while on January /, 1905, they were
valued at $2,274,642, 900.
This is a phenomenal record and yet,
Notwithstanding this extraordinary In
crease in number ana value, horses are
In greater demand to-day than they
have ever been before in the history OF
the United States.

A very intelligent and observing
farmer says: The Importance of a
mulch to counterfeit a drought was
presented to me in a rather forcible
manner last spring. We had planted
a few rows of early beans and after
they had come up we had cold spell,
and in order to save the beans from the
frost, they were covered with planzs.
After the danger from frost had passed,
at one end Of the rows the planks were
laid between the rows and left for
about two weeks, which was dry sea-
son. At the other end the planks were
moved clear away. The part where the
planks were between the rows made
double the growth Of the others. The
growth was evidently due to the mois-
ture saved by the planks

For cattle and horses, rock salt
placed in boxes Or troughs in winter
and scattered about the pastures on
the grass In summer is preferable to
any other way. Rains have little eff
feet upon 1t and this will be found
both convenient and economical. For
sheep, however, this plan does not
work so well. The rock salt Is so slow
to dissolve that they are not able to
get a sufficient quantity of it to satisfy
their wants, hence it Is necessary to
use the loose salt for them.

Loss of Manure.

An authority claims that fully one
third of the manure voided on the
farms of the United States is lost. The
fermentation of manure is caused by
the action of two forms of organisms.
One form Is that which requires an
abundance of oxygen and dies when ex-
posed to it. The former thrives on the
outside Of the heap and the latter in
the interior. The latter's Office seems
to break up the more complex particles
and prepare them for the action Of the
former. If the action Of the former
Is too rapid a great deal of the nitro
gen passes off into the air In the form
of ammonia or free nitrogen, and is lost
to the soil from whence it came.

SOLDIERS AT HOME.
THEY TELL SOME INTERESTING
ANECDOTES OF THE WAR.
How the Boys of Both Armies WhfIed
Away Life In COMPROMISING Ex-
perfences, TiresOme Marches
Thrilling Scenes on Battlefield.

Col. Robert c. Clowry, president Of
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
is possessed of remarkable resourceful-
ness AS an illustration Of this char
acteristlc it may be said that he sent
wireless Geographic message forty years
before the names Of Marconi or De
Forest were heard Of.
1t happened back in Civil War times,
when Col. Clowry was an assistant
quartermaster in charge of the United
States military telegraph service in
the department of Mississippi, Kansas
and Arkansas In the course of one
campaign Capt. Clowry, as he was
then, discovered that he was unable to
communicate with a detachment Of
union troops on the other side Of the
Missouri river. The night was pitch
dark and the rain was descending In
torrents. The stream was so swollen
that an attempt to cross it would have
meant certain death.
Clowry learned that the enemy was
marching on the union army and ex-
to surround it. The confederates had
planned to compel the surrender of
their foe, as the latter could not re-
treat without being driven into the
river. A successful defense against the
attack seemed impossible, as the con-
federates largely outnumbered the
unionists.
Various expedients rapidly crossed
the mind Of the young telegraph chief.
He thought of firing gun so that the
reports would correspond with the
ticks Of Geographic key. The scheme
proved futile because with the type Of
gun then in use it was impossible to
discharge one shot after another with
sufficient rapidity.
Pacing back and forth in the pour
ing rain as he wrestIed with what
seemed an unsolvable problem, the
captain Of the wire CHANGED to see a
locomotive standing on siding. The
sight prompted new idea. He leaped
into the locomotives cab and, finding
that the firebox contained nothing but
wet ashes, hastily cleaned it out, filed
the boiler to the right level, kindled a
fire and soon got up steam. Then the
engineer operator began to toot the
engines whistle and out into the black
ness Of the night he sent series Of
blasts timed in the same sequence as
the we'll known "call" Of the key. Pres
emily came an answer. The telegraph
chief of the distant army had heard
the whistling and was replying on a
bugle.
Communication had been established
and the whistle, under the command of
Clowry's practiced hand, shrieked out
its warning and saved 10000 soldiers
from diSa Ster

A Georgian in Camp Douglas.

A Georgian in Camp Douglas.
was member Of Company K, Sec
Ond Tennessee cavalry, under Forrest,
and was prisoner of war in Camp
Douglas, Chicago from December %,
1862, to June 10, 1865. On the morn
ing Of the 10Th Of April, 1861 after the
assassination of President Lincoln,
flags were ordered to half-mast. The
lanyard Of the garrison flag was caught
and hung few feet from the top, and
could not be moved either way. Col.
Sweet, the post commander, ordered a
man detailed to climb the pole, 100 feet
high, to fix the rope. The detailed sol
der climbed the pole, but just as he
reached the top and before he could
fix the pulley he lost his hold and fell
a fearful fall to the ground.
The entire garrison of 5000 men and
thousands of prisoners witnessed the
appalling sight The man lived about
two hours. On the morning of the 10th
the colonel called for a volunteer to
climb the pole, but out the entire force
of 5000 men not one would volunteer
for the hazardous climb. Then a re-
ward of $500 was offered; but, strange
to say, no one accepted the offer.
'"Try the Johnnies," said Col. Sweet.
"Out of the 10000 prisoners we will
find a man who will climb that pole.
The prisoner who climbs it and adjusts
the lanyard and Sag shall have $500
and transportation home at once"
Barrcks No. 1, near the gate, was
called out, $50 in number. The propo-
sition was explained and volunteer
called for. Instantly lean, lank,
ragged Georgia boy, an artilleryman,
about 10 years old, stepped to the front
and went at once to the flag pole. It was
now the evening of the 10th. In the
prison and garrison and even in the
city excitement was intense.
Thousands watched the Georgia boy
climb the pole. The entire garrison off
duty was gathered around the flag pole,
sailors swarmed in the rigging of their
ships on the lake, and people on the
housetops, all watching one Of the most
daring and thrilling acts of the war.
The boy from Georgia reached the top
of the pole, swaying in gale Of wind,
and in a few seconds fixed the rope;
then, waving his old confederate hat
three times about his head, threw it at
the crowd below.
A mighty cheer went up as he started
on his descent. The prisoners caught
the rebel yell was heard in northern
prison.
AS he came down and in reach the
Federal soldiers pulled him off the pole,
and on their shoulders, carried him to
the provost officer nearby, where he
signed the oath or parole, and there
we're handed to him five one-hundred

Seems like, old boys, you're getting gray,
You old Yanks.
You surely amt got long to stay,
All you old Yanks.

So fast they go-there re left but few,
Old Father Time is after you,
He'll get you all, fore he gets through,
All you old Yanks.
But never mind-you took the chance,
You old Yanks.
In sixty-four made rebels dance,
All you old Yanks.
Danced some yourselves, as we'll you
know,
To rebel tunes that were not slow,
Danced light when Johnnies said to Go
In Dixie land-so long ago,
All you old Yanks.

You old Yanks.
With Grant, whose name will ever thrill
All you old Yanks.
I, on this page, recall the day
You often faced the boys In gray
On lines of fire, when told to stay,
For this, you know, was Hooker's way,
All you old Yanks.
You love your country and its flag
You old Yanks.
In it's defense you'd never lag,
All you old Yanks.
But long as heart beats in each breast,
You'll think of those who now at rest
Meath flowers by south winds soft ca
ressed
Made this land, one of the best,
All you old Yanks.
A silent toast to them now drink
You old Yanks.
To comrades dead, let glasses clink,
All you old Yanks.
You drink to brothers that you knew.
Alas to-day they're lost to view
To brave old boys who wore the blue,
Now sleeping meath the southern dew,
All you old Yanks.
Now when Old Gabriel blows his horn,
Close up the ranks
Be ready in line, on that great morn,
All you old Yanks.
AS you have ever proven true,
The captain then will say to you,
Take your seats In that front pew,
There's nothing here too good for you,
All you old Yanks.

Corn Land for the Bean Crop.

Corn Land for the Bean Crop.
Beans may be planted late and ma
ture before a probably frost. For sew
eral years beans have borne a good
price, and If the wheat crop proves to
be as short as threatened at this writ
ing the consumption Of them is likely
to be larger than usual. The planting,
harvesting and thrashing Of beans may
be done by machinery now, which re
moves a former serious objection to
their culture; and if the crop area on
a farm has been made smaller than
desired, by reason of the cold spring,
field Of beans might be advantageousy
used In extending the seasons crops.
Good corn land is excellent for beans,
and their cultivation does not differ
materially from that Of corn, hence it
does not require any special instructor
or skill to grow them successfully.

Nail Wounds An Horses Feet.
1t has long been known that nail
pricks and other similar injuries In
the horses hoof may lead to an infec-
ton followed by the formation Of pus
under the horn Of the hoof, and seri-
GUS general disease Of the horse, or at
least the loss of the hoof.
In bulletin of the South Dakota
Station, Mr. Moore recently reported
results obtained In number Of cases
from applying a strict antiseptic treat
ment to injuries of this sort. The
method consists In pairing away the
horn of the hoof from the affected
part until the blood oozes out, The
foot Is then thoroughly washed in So
luton of bichloride of mercury, in the
proportion of one part to 500 parts of
water, after which absorbent cotton,
saturated In solution of the same
strength, Is applied to the wound, and
the whole hoof Is packed in cotton, sur
rounded by bandage and we'll coated
with tar. This prevents any further
filth from coming In contact with the
wound.
The operation must usually be done
by a qualified veterinarian. Subse-
quent treatment, however, can be ap-
piled by the average farmer, since all
that Is necessary is to pour little OF
the solution of bichloride of mercury
upon the cotton which projects from
the upper part of the bandage. The
cotton will absorb enough of the solu-
ton to keep the wound moistened and
hasten the healing process. If rem
edy of this sort Is not adopted in the
case of foot wound in the horse, the
owner runs considerable risk of seri-
Gus infection either Of blood poisoning
or lockjaw.
