This is from the Letters From a
Surgeon OF the Civil War" by Dr. John
G. Perry Of the Twentieth Massachu-
sets regiment. From field hospital
two miles above Hanover Junction he
wrote: II can scratch only few lines,
being up to my eyes in blood Oh. the
fatigue and endless work we surgeons
have, About one night III three to
sleep i'll. and then we are so nervous
and played out that sleep is impossible
1t seems to me l am quite callous TO
death now and that / could see my
dearest friend die without much feel
ing. This condition tells long story
which under other circumstances could
scarcely be imagined. During the last
three weeks l have seen probably no
less than 1000 deaths. and among them
those CT many dear friends I have
witnessed hundreds of men shot dead,
have walked and slept among them.
and surely I feel 1t possible to die my
self as calmly as any But enough of
this. The fight is now fearful. and am

Wheat Prices and Pork.

Numerous experiments conducted at
agricultural colleges in the west have
demonstrated beyond question that
whenever the price of wheat declines
below go cents bushel there Is more
profit In feeding it to hogs when the
market for pork Is normal than in sell
ing 1t as wheat. BY some authorities
the figure is placed much higher. some
experiments in this state a few years
ago proving that with hogs selling
around cents pound wheat was
worth for fattening purposes nearly
90 cents a bushel, a figure much above
the average for the last dozen years.
That the advantage Of feeding cereals
to live stock and then marketing the
stock is becoming more fully realized
by the farmers Of the entire country IL
shown by the official figures on the ex-
ports OF meat and dairy products for
last year.-Portland Oregonian.

times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest

SOME GOOD CONDITION POWDERS

Every poultryman realizes the
Importance and need of something
to feed to his flock when the combs
look pale and the feathers are
rough and the birds appear drowsy
and lazy. The following formula
is one of the best we have ever
used for the above purpose:
Take one ounce of carbonate of
iron; one ounce pulverized gentian
root; one ounce ginger; three
ounces of bi-carbonate of soda;
four ounces flax seed meal; two
ounces pulverized charcoal. Mix
we'll and feed an even teaspoonful
in each quart of feed.
The following formula is Of
great value when fowls have had
any disease, distemper, roup Or
any disease where the blood needs
thorough cleansing and purify
ing:
Half pound of charcoal; half a
pound of ginger; half a pound of
gentian root; half pound of gold
Ell seal; half a pound of sulphur;
half pound of may apple root;
half pound of copperas. Mix
we'll and feed one level teaspoonful
in each quart of feed twice day
for a week; then skip a week and
repeat as before.

TO PREVENT BLOOD POISONING

Every farm house has its bottle
of alcohol (not wood ALCOHOL set
on the shelf, but neither farmer or
their wives know its full value as a
preventive of blood poisoning.
Every cut, scratch, wound or
bruise, should be cleansed from
dirt with clean water and alcohol
poured into and over it. 1t will
heal clean and with little trouble.
Barb wire, rusty nail, dog or cat
bites or scratches, cuts on glass,
crockery, or tin, pinched fingers,
etc., will give little trouble if given
a proper bath in alcohol as soon as
possible. A fever patient sponged
in alcohol soon becomes comfort
able. Try it.

GREEN BONE AS EGG FOOD.

By a series of experiments, y
says Alma Cole Pickering, it has
been discovered that the feeding of
green cut bone increases the pro-
duction of eggs. Different parts
of ordinary market bones upon
analysis were found to contain in
abundance the ingredients which
go to make up the growing chick,
and in wonderfully close proper
tons the different parts Of the COM
plete egg, the lean meat and gristle
form the white of an egg and about
sixteen per cent of the yolk, the
marrow and other fat on the bones
supply the remainder of the yolk,
while the lime phosphates in the
bone yield all the necessary salts
for the shell and the requisite
phosphate for the interior of the
egg. But it is not enough that a
given food contain certain desir-
able properties. Its food value
depends upon the power of assimi-
lation by the consumer. Practical
experience has proved that the
gristle, blood, fat and bone, all of
which goes to make up green
BONE is the very best possible
form to be easily digested and
thoroughly assimilated by poultry.
Poultry folks differ as to method
and quantity of feeding green bone.
Personally, we prefer to feed it as
separate ration. After becoming
accustomed to this food, one pound
per dozen hens is the allowance
per day. Compared with other
foods, we consider green bone the
cheapest for the results occurring
from its use of any food, nearly
doubling, as it does, the amount
of eggs and very materially increas-
ing their fertility, besides produc-
ing better plumage and maintain
ing a more healthful condition of
the fowls so fed

THE BEST IS NOT TOO GOOD.

Use the best oil you can find for
running incubators and brooders.
There are oils that can be burned
for days without trimming the
wicks. Others will crust the wick
in a few hours. One the Western
Farm Journals writer's, last season
ran one of his brooder lamps six
teen days without trimming, and
there was hardly any crust on the
wick at the end of that time. A
little search will show you an oil
that is right for poultryman's Uses,
and we advise the getting of high
grade kerosene.
