Send Him Away With a Smile

They are leaving today mission
That rouses uttermost pride.
They'll soon be in fighting condition
Far over the turbulent tide.
Are there tears in your heart? Kindly keep them
Winked back from your eyes for while.
In the sight of the boys do not weep them
Send our soldiers away with smile.
Let their last sound of home be our laughter;
Their last glimpse of home be grin
That through every charge follows after
And nerves them to fight till they win.
Let the home-thought be glad! It will cheer them
Ger many shell ridden mile
Till the butchery foeman shall fear them
Let us send them away with smile.
But" you say, "for the returning
We smile all the more; that their way
Shall be bright while their candles still burning.
Smle-snnle with them while you may.
Let all grief till tits needed

The gospel of more and better
milk, more and better poultry and
the keeping up of soil fertility was
preached in Abilene today by the
Santa Fe railroad officials and agri-
cultural college professors to a
large audience of farmers and 9TH
ers interested in the work.
The train arrived at 1885 and
for two hours people visited the
cars and listened to the lectures.
The train was composed of busi-
ness car, three lecture cars, two
stock and an exhibit flat car
II. M. Bainer, agricultural agent
for the Santa Fe, spoke of soil fer
tility and how the farmers of the
east are enriching their lands by
shipping in alfalfa and other feed
from the west, and so gaining great
quantities of barnyard manure.
The barnyard manure left by a.
ton OF cotton seed meal, or a ton of
bran, for example, is worth, on the
farm where it be fed, fully fifty per
cent OF its cost. The dairy COW re-
turns in the form of manure from
rs to 80 per cent of the value of
the feed she consumes. So, in a
great degree, SO long as the west
oontinues to ship feed for dairy
COWS and other livestock to be con
sumed III the east, the soil of the
east will be built up at the expense
of that of the west.
