Veteran of Balaclava.

There died at Portsmouth, England,
recently troop Sergeant-Major Lin
coin, one Of the few survivors Of the
famous charge Of the light brigade at
Balaclava. Lincoln, a fine old man,
standing over six feet, was born at
Cambridge n~inety-hve years ago, and
served through the Crimean cam
paign. He led his troop In the IA
nous charge. His horse was shot IN
der him, but he captured a riderless
one-that Of Captain Nolan, who
brought the fatal order and was shot
down early in the charge. Lincoln
soon lost his second horse, which was
shot under him, and, without q
scratch, he fell sprawling among the
wounded and dying. Before he could
get on his feet he was gripped by
some Russians, frog-marched to Var
and questioned about the English
forces, but he refused to give any in
formation, though threatened with
the knout. Lincoln spent a year In
Russia and used to declare that he
had been in every Russian prison. He
reached England through an exchange
of prisoners.--Indianapolis News.

Salt to Cook Vegetables.

If one portion Of a vegetable lie
cooked in pure water, the other halt
in sailed water, a decided difference
is perceptible in the tenderness Of the
two. Those boiled in pure water are
vastly inferior, and, in many cases.
will be almost t%asteless.
Salt brings out the delicate flavor

Onions cooked in water without

A Meat Dish of Rice.

A meat dish of rice that is not SO
widely known as it should be Is pre-
pared as follows: One cup Of rice,
well washed and drained, two cups
of tomato, two sections Of garlic, two
large, hard onions, chopped fine, one
green pepper, if procurable, If not
use four pieces Of canned, sweet pep
pers. Salt and pepper to taste. Hot
water to thoroughly. Take
three tablespoonfuls of lard or but.
ter and heat in a pan. When smok.
ing hot put in the garlic, onions and
peppers, all of which should be
chopped fine. Add the rice and cook
for FIVE minutes, not allowing the
mixture to brown. Add then the to-
matoes and seasoning. Stir and cook
FIVE minutes longer. Pour in hot
water to cover and draw the pan to
the side Of the range just where 1t
will simmer for half an hour or until
the rice is well cooked.-Mary Star

Why Hogs Root.

1t is said by observers that a hog
roots in the ground for alkali which
it finds in the soil and which aids him
in digestion. Nature helps him out in
this way when man is foolish enough
to neglect him. In the amount of car
bonaceous food that we feed the hogs,
there is too little phosphate for them.
Anything that we throw to the hogs,
whether lime, bones or oyster shells,
seem to be greatly relished and seem
TO be a great help to them in digesting
their other food and promoting their
general health. Tankage is an excel
lent food to prevent the sows and pigs
from having an apparent craving for
uncommon foods like bones, old
leather and also killing chickens. 1t
also aids them in getting more nutri-
ment out of their other food by keep
Ing them in a healthy condition. A
good plan is to satisfy the craving for
different" by planting a
patch of artichokes, which will give
them their fill before putting them
on clover or grass.-Indiana Farmer.

Milo a Good Crop.

The campaign being conducted by
the Colorado Agricultural College in
an effort to. get milo generally grown
as a feed crop on the plains of the
State has called forth a great deal
Of inquiry concerning this crop.
Milo belongs to the family of plants
called sorghums. The sorghums are
divided into two large groups-the
sweet or saccharin sorghums and the
nonsaccharin sorghums. These differ
chiefly in sugar content and yield of
seed. The sap of the saccharin sor-
ghums is sweet and the ponsaccharin
sorghums have no sugar in the sap.
Milo belongs to the nonsaccharin
group of sorghums. 1t resembles
Kaffir very much in appearance and
habits of growth, which is quite nat
ural, considering it is a close relative
of Kafir. 1t is frequently called milo
maize, but this name is incorrect, as it
Is not q, maize.
Milo grows erect, with thick, short
jointed stalks, attaining an average
height Of from four to seven feet. The
grain is borne in heads at the top Of
the stalks. These heads reach a con
siderable size and are relatively short
and compact. Where the stand is
thin, the heads get very large and
turn downward by their own weight.
With thicker stands the heads are
smaller and stand erect.-Alvin Key
sey, Colorado Agricultural College,

Cultivating Alfalfa.

The foremost method of cultivat-
ing alfala is with the disk harrow,
one of the most excellent farm imple-
ments eve invented. Alfalfa sown
in the fall is almost invariably helped
by disking the following spring, with
the disks set quite straight, SO as
not to cut the crowns. but to split
them. 1t is usually we'll to follow
this disking with tooth harrow, with
its teeth set straight. Occasionally
in a dry summer the disk may be
used to great advantage after the Sec
ond, and possibly the third, cutting
also. Many disk their alfalfa fields
every spring, and some after each cut
ting, others doing so only once in two
or three years, owing to weather con-
ditions and the conditions of the alf-
alta. In some instances the common
barrow is used instead of a disk. The
disking has several beneficial effects.
1t splits and spreads the crowns, caus-
ing more and consequently finer stems
to spring up, affording hay of the
most delightful quality, easily cured;
it loosens the soil about the crowns,
%conserves moisture and destroys the
weeds. There need be no fear of kill
ing the plants if the disks and the
harrow teeth are set straight and
weighted or otherwise adjusted to
give direct and steady forward move
ment. AS an implement for the cul-
tivation and inauguration of alfalfa
the disk harrow has no equal, and it's
frequent use by those who know it
best is deemed quite Indispensable

Lessons For the Colt.

A young colt is a joy to a child's
heart and an object of much interest
interest in the beautiful and graceful
in nature.
A foal's very attractiveness, like
that of ome specially interesting
children, endangers it's future value
and usefulness by being spoiled in
the bringing up.
A little effort at the right time,
along with good judgment in hand
ling and training a foal, will practi-
cally make the future process of
breaking unnecessary.
The most essential thing for the
colt to learn early in life is that man
is its complete, but we'll meaning,
master. When the colt is but a few
days old have a strong and trusty
man make friends with the foal, then
carefully. but firmly hold him fast
