DUTY OF PICKET DURING WAR
Young Recruits Were Troubled Great
Iy With Bothersome Countersign-
One Gives Up Rifle.

In "A Little F1fer's Wal Diary" G
w. Bardeen relates many an incident
that has not before cen light. Among
these are some relating to picket duty
and the rendering Of the bothersome
countersign which are truly remark-
able. For instead Of possessing at
least some faint particle Of he sol
dierly instinct, many Of the younger
recruits, 1t would seem, were OF a
%striktngly civilian frame Of mind, and
this can be no more said of one army
than OF the other.
This Is a characteristic account:
One recruit challenged. "Who goes
there?" The Grand Rounds" In.
stead OF saying. Halt, Grand Rounds.
Advance, sergeant, and give the coun-
tersign," the recruit exclaimed In dis.
gust. 20. -. l thought it was the
relief"
A general testing the ssntries came
upon a young recruit who halted him
with:
stop! Have you the countersign?"
NO" replied the general.
What, another one without it," e
claimed the sentry in disgust. We'll,
I'll tell you; it's Victory"
The general gasped for breath,

Meant to Be Real BAD.

Two little girls residing in East
Eighty-siXth street, Virginia Clougf
and Claire Feldman, who had LONG
envied their boy playmates for theil
ability to enjoy such badness as is
inherent in boys, resolved to be bad
themselves. To this end they shut
themselves up in Virginia's room and
proceeded to be naughty. In fact
they practiced swearing-just to SEE
what would happen.
When they were quite sure that
none would overhear them each pro
duced a slip of paper containing the
swear word and fired away.
"Bulldog!" said Virginia.
"Cigars." was Claire's reply.
But the ceiling didn't drop, and
there was no earthquake to swallow
them up, and the two resumed their
play, a trife disappointed at the tame
termination of their badness.-Cleve'

ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but q few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfigured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after foul weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecht, Box SS3, West Point, Neb.,
Oct. 26, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample Of
each, with 32-page book, will be mailed
free on application to "Cuticura,"

Excellent Poultry Hints.

Here are a few hints to those who
are in the business of raising market
poultry: Market the ROSTERS sepa-
rately. Aim to attract the eye of the
buyer. Have regular market days.
Try to build up a reputation for prime
stock. Grow bone and muscle first.
and then fatten. Big combed brollers
are apt to be wrongly classified IN
market. Always notify your commits
sion merchant before shipping. Young
fowls shipped with old stock will COM
mand old stock prices. Poultry should
be killed the day before marketing
when going direct to the consumer.
Do not mix white-skinned chickens In
the same shipment with yellow
skinned ones. Have a tag fastened on
each fowl you send to market. 1t is
the best way to advertise your stock.

EGGS WHEN PRICE IS HIGH
Secret Of Production Is to Take Care
Of Growing Stock-Look Out for
Sore Head and Roup.
(By ]. NJ. PARK.)

tBy }. M. PARk.p
We are going TO tell you the secret
OF producing those high priced eggs.
1t is, Take care Of our growing stock
during this third quarter of the game,
Many people, when they get a chick
grown to two pounds, SUI that 1t
is grown and can be left to hustle for
itself. and though conditions are not
the most favorable, still its a husky
chick and will get through somehow,
even though it be watered II fed
irregularly, its coop be allowed to get
vet and never cleaned. Then the
chicks get the sore head. first thing
you know, and If they don't die of neg
lect a month is taken out of the
chicks development; then. If not well
cared for, another month or six weeks
will be lost with roup in early fall,
with the result that the cold weather
comes IN and catches the chicks not
nearly matured. and as thin as the pro-
verbal Jobs turkey" and when this
happens the poultryman will be fortu-
nate indeed If he gets his pullets to
laying by January. when the best
prices will be past, and eggs started
on the downward trend. They by
March these pullets will be laying
fine. but their eggs will be taken to
an o~versupplied and cheap market.

MUCH DAMAGE DONE BY LICE
Chick Found Asleep Is Flag of Danger
and One Would Better Look for
Trouble-Watch for Insects.
(By EMMA

(By EMMA STACEY
Should you enter the poultry yard
and find a chick asleep instead of at
work, you would better look for the
trouble, and without doubt you will
discover the lice; or If the chicks do
not grow as you think they should,
look for the trouble. 1t may be the
same old lice. When the chicks are
Matched it is an excellent plan to
grease the head and under the wings
with pure lard-not enough to chill
the chicks. Many have found to their
sorrow that various mixtures of coal
oil, vaseline and insect powder will
kill the chicks as we'll as the insects.
The yards and houses must be clean
at all times through the hot months.
or you can't keep the lice away, and
lice and success do not go the same
way. Paint the brood coops, the nest
boxes and the r~oosts; indeed, every
thing but the chickens should get a
washing of the mixture. There is no
worse drawback to the poultry bust
ness than lice and other insects which
render the life Of the fowl most miser-
able.

Care of Goose Feathers.

I take great care in killing not to
allow the feathers to become bloody
or otherwise soiled. The geese are
picked in a closed room out of all
drafts, the feathers placed in deep
boxes or barrels, says a writer in an
exchange. Later they are place in
thin sacks and hung out in the air for
a number of days. In case the geese
are scalded the feathers are spread
out on a sheet or a blanket in an up
stairs room, over a register if pos
sible, until dry. They will dry sur
nrisingly quick, and if stirred occa-
sioLally while drying will be as light
and fluffy as though they lever were
wet. Wing. tail and other coars
feathers are discarded as plucked. l

around home at so to 60 cents a

The sentry vas amazed. why, my
orders were not to let anyone pass
without the countersign," he tx
claimed. Let me tell you, I'm tired
of giving 1t. Such a lot don't seem

Words of this sort might be occa-

On the troopship st. Lawrence in

was overheard:

"Oh, no. l am not, SIR"

Then why on earth didn't you say

"All right. sentry; don't let it &C.

But that was a British story, and
the following has more Of the ring Of

To test a sentry an officer after the
salute said:

handed 1t over. w"hereupon the officer
said in disgust, You're a fine soldier!
You've given up your rife and now
what are you going to do?" The
young fellow drew out a dangerous
knife and exclaimed. Give me that

The officer was more than con-
WINGED that he would, and hastily
handed the weapon back.

COSTS LESS THAN SIS
CENTS BUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEAT IN
CANADA.
FREQUENT QUESTION AN
SWEREO.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
the ear of 1911 than did almost any
other portion Of the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July were never bet
ter. Crops Of all kinds showed won
derful growth at that time and we're
universally good. but there was not
the usually excellent ripening weather
in August and the effects OF this were
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and SO bushels yield Of
wheat were reduced to Is and 80 bush
els. while some of course gave the
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In ace of these conditions. It Is found
that during the months Of September
and October, the total amount OF ON
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized q total Of 1917 million dollars,
the average price for this wheat be-
ing 97h cents; that below contract
for the two months was . little over
Is million bushels, which at an aver
age price Of Ssh cents per bushel
realized q little over eleven million
dollars. or q grand total for all wheat
Of IS million bushels. which realized
a total Of a little ove thirty-one mil
lion dollars.
On the first Of November, there
was in the hands Of the farmers Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 100 million
bushels Of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had Of the value
of the wheat crop of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made Of a number
of men farming in a large way indi-
Gates that eve with the extreme ex-
pense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than IS cts. a bushel. The
average freight rate Is not over 13
cts. per bushel. This would make the
cost Of production and freight 6S cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat of
17h cts. and for his high-grade wheat
of 1917 cts; and though this Is not
as large a profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, it is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave a very fair amount Of money to
his credit when all the expenses OF
the year have been paid. unless the
value Of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.

TRAINING Chickens.

If taken at a very early age, chick
ems can be taught to come and go at
certain times, fed In a certain way
and do other things that will save
time and annoyance.
A young girl, who raises about 100
White Plymouth Rocks, always brings
every bird in the flock flying to her
feet by a single particular cry she ut
tiers.
This cry is never heard by the
birds or anybody else except at the
times when they we're actually want
ed, and the way they came running
was a striking lesson in training.
