WRITES
Of APPRECIATION
FORCAPT. SCOTT
BY PVT. MAX poINDExTER. :

BY PVT. MAX POINDExTER. -
Friends, 1t IS rather hard to lose a
companion, as we must, as Is our
chaplain, o. J. w. Scott. But he has
done his duty, he has fought his fight.
he has finished his course, and now
he is called away from US.
AS it has been quoted before, it is
rather Cor us, the soldiers. to be able
to give him all Of the shonors that he
deserves, and mote, too. Ny mind
cannot yield words sufficient to ex-
PRESS my gratitude OF thanks to him,
and his beloved family. He has la
bored for nine long years to make US
q regiment among regiments, and he
has.
He was first in peace, first in war,
first In the heart of his countrymen.
or course, when Iiisay in war, | do
not mean on tbs field of battle. But
when anything vas wrong among bis
men he IVES the fifst to throw OFT his
hands to save the fallen ones. And in
love, he loved his regiment through
out the entire command. and they
loved him.
When Ne asked, +AIen, can we do a
thing? they joined hands with him
and it was done. or course, there are
some Of us that do not appreciate
anything that is done for us, but the
18th. as q whole is lot of men that
will give due courtesy.
II is not exaggefating to say that
the whole island hlonrns the loss OF
the honorable. Capt. o. j. w. Scott
and his family He has dedicated his
life for his cause, and the entire
world has mapped him out second to
none with the late B. T. Washington as
a leader.
When he lands .on the mainland
shore we hope that he viii not forget
US, but continue to. pray for our regi.
ment. In the reception given for him
at the 18th Infantry amusement
hall on May 81 in his speech he made
these remarks that sounded like clap
of thunder on the ears of his men.
He said, Il may be assigned to SHINE
other regiment but shall still be at
1ached to the 18th Infantry"
The 18th sends many votes of
thanks to him, and sends before him
blessing uron blessing. And behind
him hs leaves the sad and mourning
men of the 18th Infantry.
We truly hope that when he takes
his abode in his new regiment that
they viii regard him the same as We
haye-the guardian sngel of the rfgi-
ment And we say with strong,
firm accent thN If they are not salts
fled with him he is still welcome in
his old abode in TIE 18th Infantry.
With a vote of thanks in our peculiar
way we again thank our parting CON-
rade, Chaplain Scott.

Do not discard such an excellent

Raw Eqqs New Chick Food.

Raw eggs in the new chick feed arc
recommended by the poultry husband

They give better results, according tC

The ration in which the raw eggs
were successfully fed WAS as follows;
Mash fOod-corn meal parts, wheat

and bone. meal n. Infertile eggs test
ed out OF the Incubator or from under

Handles Manure Novel Way.

Preserving solid >manurc by sprlnk-
ling with liquid manure, thus keeping
it moist and preventing dry rot, is the
unique and economical method of
handling this product on the Willow
Lawn farm, Waverly which maintains
a herd of over 100 JcrseEs-~
An ordinary concrete manure pit, IL
feet wide, 100 feet long and feet
deep, with a capacity OF 500 loads, IS
used to store The solid manure: The
unique feature -lies in the method OF
handling the liquid manure. 1t is col.
lectcd in a large cistern near the PIT
where it flows directly from the barn
through drain pipes connected with
the cutters: An chsine each day
pumps this liquid from the cistern into
spray pipe that lies above the ma
nurc pit. 1t is allowed to drip onto the
manure. This moistens and compacts
the material, thus preventing dry rot
the greatest cause Of loss in manure
Most Of the liquid is absorbed by tbs
manure. What secps through is collect

Why Not Oats for Hay?

Early harvesting of oats for hay is
the unusual practice suggested ny ting
farm crops department at Iowa STATE
college as solving the problem OF dis
posing OF this crop. .. .a~.r
/. As a nurse crop for clover or Other
lcgumes, the great objection is it's late
maturity. If oats are cut Tor hay wllei
the grain is in the milk stage anC
properly cured. the hay secured is re
garded by many as nearly equal u
red clover. ''
Remove the oats two or three week:
earlier than usual, thus exposing tilt
young clover plants at time wher
the heat Of the sun is less severe. This
practice also leaves more moisture il
the soil to be used in producing
strong growth of clover.
