Protein for Pigs.

Alfalfa is a heterogeneous roughage.
Pigs have only one stomach, and this
comparatively small one, therefore
they are not as well adapted to eating
as are ruminants; consequently it goes
without saying that it is more than
likely that the young growing pig will
not obtain enough protein for maxi
mum growth from a ration made up of
alfalfa and corn. Nevertheless alfalfa
is one of the best sources of protein
for pigs that can be had and should
be used to the greatest extent. When
alfalfa is fed in the form of hay it
may be given to the pigs in racks If
they are accustomed to eating alfalfa
in this form they will eat a consid-
cradle quantity of it, but more will be
eaten if it is chopped fine and then
steamed or scalded and mixed with
finely ground corn into thick slop.-

Mistake of the Farm.

One Of the greatest mistakes farmer
or any one else in business makes is in
trying to secure a luxurious living and
lot of fun out of a very small bust
ness. Aside from the fostering Of un
necessary habits, expenses are incurred
which are sufficient to meet the de-
mands of much larger business. Gut
your garment according to your cloth.
The farmer who takes pride in his
business has the same encouragement
and advantage over competitors who
lock the snap and sentiment, that the
earnest, progressive man in all other
callings has. The man who succeeds
in farming as well as those in the minor
professions, must throw his very Life
into the work in which he is engaged
This applies to farming with great
force if excellence is xpected.-Dakota

Treason Plot Exposer Dies.

FELIX Grundy Stidger, exposer of the
Golden Circle" who dropped dead
Nav II at his home in Chicago, was
buried In Oakwoods cemetery in that
city, the services being in charge of
Custer Post, G. A. r. The Chicago
Tribune says of him: Scarcely known
bg his neighbors, and having only a
small acquaintance with the Civil War
veterans of Chicago, his death attract
ed little attention. If he had passed
away forty-five years ago Gen. Grant
might have taken two more summers
to have got to Richmond.
Stidgers life seems to contain that
lone good story" which is said to exist
in every mans history. Stidger was
a secret service man during the last
two years of the war. He worked his
way into that notorious secret order OF
Soutberners in the Northern States
known as the knights of the Golden
Circle" and became one of its chief
officers.
When the South was about ready to
give up the conflict after the battles Of
Gettysburg and Vicksburg it's spirit
was reiuvenated by the knowledge that
this order had plans all set for the de
livery Of the 10000 Confederate pris-
oners in Camp Douglas in Chicago and
other northern cities.
Plans also had been made for deliv-
ering over to the Confederacy the
States Of Illinois, Missouri, Indiana,
and Ohio. So strong were the forces
of the Golden Circle" and so secret
were the movements and schemes of
the officers of that body, that the gov
eminent was at loss how to stop it.
Stidger, who had wormed his way
into the order and had climbed to the
position of grand secretary by his
efficiency, single-handed stopped the
delivery, turned over the chief officers
TO the government, and frustrated one
of the most ingenious schemes Of the
war.
The chiefs Of the order met in Chi
cage and decided upon a date and pro-
gram for the huge delivery. Stidger
learned all the plans and related them
in a book he wrote on the subject, as
follows:

SHORT METER SERMONS.

Faith In God is best evidenced by
fellowship with men.
Too many measure their means by
their meanness.
Trouble that might break US may be
made to make us.
The hardest seats in the world are
those on Easy street.
Nagging people are always praying
for peace in glory.
Worms of the dust make poor leaders
OF men TO the divine.
Social sympathy is the solvent of
many theological barriers.
The world liz not lifed to virtue by
pietnring 1t as wholly vicious.
You cannot have harmony within
yourself without conflict without.
Prayer is measured by its aspiration
rather than by the information it sends
to heaven.
For1nalities are the substitutes with
which the empty heart tries to make
up for faith.

FREEDOM.
By Henry F. Cope.


1.-The truth shall make you free
John, viii, 80.
Freedom is one Of the costliest things
to gain and the most difficult to pre-
serve We do well to hold fast to the
traditions and the ideals Of a free
people. There can be no fullness Of
life where liberty is unknown. But
often our ideals Of freedom seem to
conf1ice with our obligations to others.
We ask how can one be free and yet
be bound by the laws Of our common
life, how can he enjoy absolute liberty
when he must constantly consider duties
to other lives?
Then life is hedged about with other
restrictions, with laws and codes OF
conduct. These may not be formal
codes; we may have freed ourselves
from the authority Of traditionalism,
but every man who reasons on his life
sets UP standards Of goodness and right
and these standards constitute laws to
him. How can one be free while seek
ing to live by his laws of the right and
the true?
What, after all, is freedom2 Is It the
absence Of all restraint? Is it life with
all the fences down? Is 1t ungoverned,
unguided responsibility? Freedom is
simply the capacity, within rs, to choose
our own way, to will what we will do,
and the opportunity without to put into

THE GOOD OLD HYMNS.

There's lots o. music in 'em, the hymns
of long ago;
An when some gray-haired brother sings
the ones / used to know
I sorter want to take hand-I think o.
days gone by
''On Jordan's stormy banks l stand, and
cast a wistful eye."
There's lots of music in 'em--those dear,
sweet hymns of old,
With visions bright of lands of light and
shining streets of gold;
And 1 hear 'em ringing-singing, where
memory dreaming stands,
From Greenlands icy mountains to In
dia's coral strands"
We hardly needed singin' books in them
old days; we knew
The words, the tunes, of every one the
dear old hymn book through!
We had no blaring trumpets then, no or
gans built for show;
We only sang to praise the Lord from
whom all blessings fow."
An so / love the dear old hymns, and
when my time shall come
Before the light has left me and my sing
ing lips are dumb
If / can only hear 'em then I'll pass,
without sigh,
ITO Canaan's fair and happy land, where
my possessions lie!'

Summer Work with Poultry.

OEA WIN FOu4EEys
Hot suns debilitate fowls, increase
the army of lice, cripple egg production
and cause trouble in many other ways
You cannot control the sun, but you
can control tie power of it, as far as
your poultry is concerned.
Provide shade. Tree shade is the
best, but if there are no trees in the
runs then the next best thing is to erect
canopies Of some kind.
Have places provided so that the
fowls and chicks cannot only get into
the shade during the hot weather, but
have place of refuge during rainy,
stormy days
Cut down the supply of heat-produc-
ing grains in the diet and feed literally
of green food.
AS they mature separate the cock
erels from the pullets and give the for
mer all extra allowance, as they will
stand more forcing
It is advisable each week to gather
up all hens that are becoming broody
and put them in separate coop where
no nests are provided With this
change it will require but a week to
break them from their broody instincts
and they will go back to laying again.

stacker is halfway down the weight
box, No, II, should be just clear OF the
ground.
No. IA is the weight-boX, and should
be made of pinch stuff, about ITO 10
Inches deep, and about 2 feet square
it must be we'll spiked together. The
idea of the weight is to start the
stacker back to the ground as soon as
the load is delivered from it on to the
stack, and when the stacker is halfway
to the ground, the weight acts as a
brake for the other half of the way
down. The box is filled with stones.
The rope which attaches the weight
box to the stacker should be three
quarter inch, passing from the weight
up between the two pulleys on the up
per end Of No 10, and down to the
center of stacker head No. 5. The pull
Ieys on the frame of the stacker should
be attached by means Of wooden blocks
with Il notch cut out 50 that the pulley
can fit between the block and frame.
PulleyS for this purpose are 6 inches
IN diameter and made of turned hard
wood. These are fastened in place by
means of 4 hard wood pin for an axle.
The puIleys should be kept well oiled
TO keep them from calking.
The rope for raising the stacker
should be either inch or inch and a
quarter. The teeth on the stacker
can be made of BY 4-inch pine scant-
ling, 10 feet long and bevelled on the
upper side to allow the hay to slide
on easily. The short upright teeth ON
the stacker head should be about 5
feet long. They are bolted to the long
teeth about inches from the stacker
head No, j. and rest against the stack
er head, No 6. The stacker arms, No.
should be bolted to No. with a large
bolt, about - inches from the ground.

High Tide at Gettysburg.

A cloud possessed the hollow field,
The gathering battles smoky shield;
Athwart the gloom the lightning flashed,
And through the cloud some horsemen
dashed,
And from the heights the thunder pealed.
Then, at the brief command of Lee,
Moved out that matchless infantry;
With Pickett leading grandly down
To rush against the roaring crown
OF those dread heights of destiny.
Far heard above the angry guns,
A cry across the tumult runs,
The voice that rang through Shiloh's
woods
And Chickamauga's solitudes,
The fierce South cheering on her sons.
An, how the whitening tempest blew
Against the front of Pettigrew
A khamsin wind that scorched and
singed,
Like the internal flame that fringed
The British squares at Waterloo!
"Once more in glory's van with me"
virginia cries to tennessee,
1--WE two together, come what may,
Shall stand upon those works to-day"
(The reddest day in history.)
But who shall break the guards that wait
Before the awful face of Fate?
The tattered standards of the South
Were shriveled at the lannon's mouth,
And all her hopes were desolate.
In vain the Tennesseean set
His breast against the bayonet;
In vain Virginia charged and ragged,
A tigress In her wrath uncaged,
Till all the hill was red and wet.
Above the bayonets mixed and crossed,
Men saw a gray, gigantic ghost
Receding through the battle-cloud,
And heard across the tempest cloud
The death-cry of a nation lost!
The brave went down! Without disgrace
They leaped to Ruins red embrace!
They only heard Fame's thunder wake,
And saw the dazzling sun-burst break
In smiles on G4ory's bloody face
They fell, who lifted up hand
And babe the SUN in heaven to stand!
They smote and fell, who set the bars
Against the progress of the stars,
And stayed the march of motherland.
They stood, who saw the future come
On through the fights delirium!
They smote and stood, who held the
hope
OF nations on that slippery slope
Amid the cheers Of Christendom!
God liyesl He forged the iron will
That clutched and held that trembling
hill.
God lives and reigns! He built and
lent
Those heights for freedoms betterment,
Where floats her flag in triumph still!
Fold UP tine banners! Smelt the guns
Love rules; her gentler purpose runs.
A mighty mother turns in tears
The pages of her battle years,
Lamenting all her fallen sons

Johnny Rebs Reunited.

A very paLnetlc incident tudt oc-
Cured during the recent reunion of
Confederate veterans held in this city
was related yesterday afternoon by a
prominent State official.
One night at late hour the man
ager of one of the leading hotels in
this city walked into the rotunda OF
his hosiery and observed an old Con-
federate, who appeared to be sleeping
In chair. He noticed that he was as
signed to that hotel by certain badge
he wore, and being himself an ex-
Johnny Reb, he decided to render the
veteran a service by waking him and
taking him to his room.
AS he touched the veteran he OBJ
served that he had spent some time in
worship at the shrine Of Bacchus, and
at that time was just recovering vigor-
Gus mentality. While this scene was
being enacted another veteran, who
happened to be passing, stopped close
by, as did the gentleman who told the
story.
"Hello, Johnny Reb! Have you Sc
cured a room?' asked the hotel man
ager.

with apparent surprise.

my name is Joe -"
what regiment were you with?"
II was with Regiment and
fought with the Army of Virginia"
At this juncture the veteran who

| and asked the man:
what did you say your name is?''
| "My name is Joe -" again re-
| piled the man.
where did you enter the army

II enlisted at -, in -," replied
the now astonished man.
AS he replied to the last question
the other man fell into his arms, weep
ing, and said: "Joe, don't yon know
me?"
The veteran pushed him off, presum-
ing that he, too, was in turbulent
state Of mind, caused by imbibing
drinks other than water.
The man would not be pushed off,
and, in his sobs, said: Joe, don't
you know me? This is john"
''You are not John, for he was killed
at Manassas" said the now thoroughly
awakened and much astonished man.
"Joe, am your brother John. l was
| not killed at the battle of Manassas,
and ever since the war have looked
| all over the United States for you"
Convinced at last, the long-lost
brothers, locked i'm each others en-
brace, stood and wept like children.
They went to a room in the hotel and
doubtless talked all night. All next day
they were seen walking arm in arm,
with glowing faces, and relating to ev-

The passing of the windmill in Eng
land, Anticipated by such recent power
producers as the gas engine and cleo
trio motor, has given life to new in
dustry-windmill wrecking. The old
windmill builders understood their
business and meant their handiwork
to last, and so the demolishing of such
structures is no simple task. Many of
the old mills stood 100 feet high and
had eight or nine floors, fitted with
four run of stones, and contained tons
upon tons of brick. Often these huge
mills stand close to other buildings,
and. says Popular Mechanics, accidents
would he inevitable if the wreekers did
not have experience in their tasks.
