District Camp Backing Local
Attorney for Com
mander.

torney, is being prominently mentioned
as the next commander-in-chief of the
United Spanish War Veterans, who will
meet in annual convention at Oklahoma
City, Okla, August H-23.
Mr., Smith is a member OF Gen. Nell
son A. Miles Camp, No. /, Department
of the District Of Columbia, and has
been unanimously indorsed by the de-
partmert and the comrades of the
camps for commander-in-chief. An "Ok-
kahoma Club has been formed by local
members of the Spanish War Veterans,
and a large delegation is expected to
attend the convention and urge the
election of Mr.. Smith as head of the
organization.

Smith, a former member of Congress
from Virginia, and a grandson of the
late John F. Smith, former United
States Senator from Virginia. He en-
listed with Company C, First District
of Columbia Volunteer Infantry, at the
outbreak of the war with Spain, and
participated in the siege and surrender
of Santiago, in 1888.
The Department of the District Of Co.
lumbia has got up an attractive pam
phlet pointing out the following rea-
sons why it believes the next comman-
der-in-chief and the national headQuar-
tiers should be in Washington:
'First-Being the National Capital.
the presence Of a commander-in-chief
on the ground during sessions Of Con-
gress is needed.
Second-Washington. being the gate
way to the South, will enable headquar-
ters, so located, to exercise greater in
fiuence in the upbuiIding Of the organi-
zetion In that section.
"Third-Just at this time, when the
political complexion of Congress has
changed, the legislative program of our
organization will demand greater and
more complete attention.
"Fourth-!The National Capital has
not had a commander-in-chief since the
amalgamation of the several organfza-
tions on April IS, 1904"
The Department Of the District Of Co.
lumbia. or District Corps. as II was
then termed, was organized September
is, 1899. at the National Guard Armory,
and the -ecords show that II was the
first district or state corps to be organ
lied.
Mr. Smith is a past department COM
mander, and was instrumental in get
ting the 1906 national encampment to
come to Washington.

ATE RATS AND LIKED THEM
Fall of Port Hudson Followed Close on
That of Vicksbur9-Was Outlet
for Commerce.

The second great siege OF the Civil
war was followed closely. Scarcely
had the forests ceased to echo to the
tread of Grants legiOns in the rear of
Vicksburg when another Federal host
under General Banks suddenly appear
ed IN the banks of the Mississippi
near POrt Hudson, some miles south OF
the doomed city. Like phantom shapes
the federal troops crept toward the
garrison wherein were General Gard
ner and his warriors of the Conteder-
acy guarding his important key to the
Mississippi and the gulf.
Port HudsO in antebellum days was
insignificant in importance, being only
a liver landing for cargoes of cotton
from surrounding plantations in Louis
lana. At the landing there were a few
crude dwellings. Here the COnfed-
crates had thrown up Notifications
from which they could guard the
mighty outlet for the of the
north and west.
This siege also lasted six weeks.
Until four days after the surrender OF
Vicksburg General Gardner was encir-
cled by the cleaning bayonets and
cannOn of Banks. He could neither es-
cape nor could succor reach him. Still
the C~onfederates fought n slept
while the summe sun sent down Its
heated rays Upon the worn figures IN
gray until it seemed impossible to
withstand another days bombardment
and fatigue. The rank and file lay down
on their rude beds to gasp throughout
the night for a breath Of cool air,
Without the entertainments the in
vaders from the highlands Of the north
suffered the torments of an inferno.
A dense mist was arising constantly
from the marshy and and the fever
infested swamps. Day after day scores
Of soldiers were carried to the hos
pitfalls. Assault after assault was de-
livered on the Confederate works, but
each was sturdily and bloodily re-
would never surrender. In the center
of the fort was a four mill, which was
used to make fresh bread for the Con
federates and this became the special
target for the Federal gunners.
1t was late in June when a thunder
ing cheer sounded through the fed
eral ranks as a shot struck the build
ing. The gunners watched the mill in
tently. COnfederateS were seen run
ming about the Enclosure with pals,
kegs and whatever else would serve to
carry water. A slender thread of flame

leaped from the building and quickly
swept over the structure. Then a burst
Of joy r~esounded from the Federal
troops. The mill was on fire! Soon
the building was consumed and the
federals had gained another step to-
ward the capture Of the coveted post.
Meat had early given out within the
garrison at Port Hudson and, like the
soldiers at Vicksburg, the Confederates
began to cook and eat their mules n
horses. A diary kept by one of the
besieged warriors records The follow
ing: Many Of the men. rs If in mock
cry of famine, caught rats and ate
them, declaring that they were better
than squirrels"
Throughout the siege the night had
been made brilliant by the constant
storm of shells that crashed from the
Union guns and arched through the
heavens, to drop with a laundering
defamation in the garrison. 1t was
three nights after Independence day.
The ~cannonade trebled in intensity.
In a lull of the oar cheers were heard
in Banks camp.
''Vicksburg has s~urrendered!" was
the startling news that was waited
across the battle-scarred %entrench-
mentS.
What! Vicksburg, the impregnable,
surrender? Never!" But the news
was confirmed when a federal picket

PROPER CARE OF CREAM
Excellent Plan Is to Have Shotgun
Can for Each Milking and deliver
Good, Clean Product.

1t is useless to ask your butter
maker to turn out a first class product
with cream that has been abused be-
fore it is delivered.
or course. the cream must be kept
cool all the time. You cannot make
a good product by keeping it in a
warn room.
A better way to tax care of the
cream is to have a shotgun can for
each milking. Just before going to
the factory, empty all this into the
shipping can and deliver a good. clean
product.
If you must keep he separator in
the barn, have a good, tight partition
making a clean, sanitary separator
room.
Harmful bacteria may be harbored
in the filth upon the walls and floor
of the separator room. See that there
is no filth there.

Caring for Cream.

The dairy bureau of the department
Of agriculture at Washington recently
received letters from nearly 900
creameries, located in 27 states, in
which they report the amount Of sour
or off-f1avored cream received t o be
from 2 to 100 per Eel Of the total re-
ceipts, and the average shows 60 per
cent. Of the cream to be Of inferior
quality.
In order to overcome the great loss
necessarily sustained from the sale OF
the butter made from poor cream. a
large number of creameries are now
buying cream and paying for 1t &C.
cording to quality, and they are re
ceiving a premium for the finest but,
ter.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1911-10-20

1t is we'll known that milk absorbs
impurities.
Don't shut the cows from the stable
or shed too early.
Don't breed heifers too young unless
you wish a dwarfed breed.
Mixers should wash their hands
thoroughly before milking.
Never let cans Of milk stand in the
sun awaiting transportation.
Milk should be left in the bottle in
which 1t has been delivered, until
used.
A COW thai is a small eater will bear
watching. She is pretty sure to be a
small producer.
The warmer the milk the quicker
the bacteria multiply and the quicker
the milk will sour
A herd of good dairy cows is the
best insurance against hard times or a
slump in prosperity.
The pals used for feeding the
calves should be scalded regularly
every time they are used.
One man says the first year of
milking is the proper time in which
to make the foundation for a persist
ent mixer.
1t is quite customary among dairy
men to quit feeding calves skim milk
when they attain the age Of eight to
nine months

Best WAY to Sell Butter.

Much the best way to sell butter is
to work up a regular route and sell di-
rect to the consumer. This method is
now largely followed by a number of
our e%nterprising dairymen. The con
dairynan gets the full value for what
he has to sell, and hat in CASH The
buttermilk can nearly always be sold
for enough to pay for delivering Of the
butter. The products from the poul-
try yard can be sold from the same
wagon.

NEW TREATMENT OF SCOURS
Mysterious Disease Among Calves
Successfully Treated by Prot. Will
son Of CaHadian College.

A somewhat important step in vet
Urinary medicine has been made by
Professor Wilson Of the Harper-Ad-
ans Agricultural college, says the
Canadian Farm. Some farmers in
Salop had suffered heavy loss by a
mysterious disease among their calves
which was so deadly that not one es-
capped. They showed signs of Illness
at about two days old and got worse
until they died about a week later. The
farmer who appealed to the college for
assistance had " been able TO real
a single calf of his own breeding.
Those bought at a fortnight old did
quite well. Professor Wilson after
post-mortem examinations diagnosed
it as a form Of septiCaemia or blood
poisoning, and after an Intellectual
attempt to shut out the malignant
germs by legation and disinfectioD of
the naval cords. hit upon the idea of
giving Tactic acid bacilli in skinned
milk during the first day and gradual
ly introducing the dams milk but
still continuing the Tactic acid bacilli
until the ninth day, when ordinary
rations were reached, This treatment
has been singularly successful and not
a single calf has been lost since.
What is of more general Importance,
however, is hat this treatment is
proving effective in the much more
prevalent disease, white scours in
calves, and the principle may not stop
here. Setting bacilli to kill bacilli
may yet prove a fundamental principle
in animal medicine and 1t is possible
that great developments may arise out
of Investigations along these lines.
