It is claimed that "all the world loves a lover." Is it not also true that the best part of the world has a warm side, if not love, for a horse? Here ia a horse story told to me by James F. Lyon, of the First Cavalry, who had no superior in valor and will carry to th? grave a limp and a quarter of a pound of lead. He said: "We had in our company a young German named Schultz. Ills horse was his especial pride. Sometimes Schultz went to sleep without rations, but his horse never. No matter how scarce or howhard it was to pit forage, the young German's horse always had an evening feed, a thoroujih rubbing down, a loving pat and a 'ood-nlght, Frank, In two languages broken English and German. Many a time have I seen Schultz skirmish for a lunch for his horse when we halted to make coffee Instead of preparing his own lunch. While the rest of us stayed In our tents and read or played cards Schultz would keep Frank's company for hours, ponietlmestalking German to him and sometimes English. Some of our horses showed la'k of care; Frank's showed overcare; was always In good order; In camp he glistened like n new plug hat and seemed as fond of his master as his master of him. When th? Atlanta campaign opened, in May, 1S64, there was not a prouder soldier or a prettier horse than Schultz and Frank In the First "Our first night of note in that campaign was at Varnell's Station, May 9. Somebody never mind who made a mess of It. Our little brigade, the Second cf the First Cavalry division, consisting of the Second and Fourth Indiana and the Tirst Wisconsin, commanded by Colonel O. II. La Grange, was thrown against General Joe Wheeler's entire command, and we fought It all day. We started to charge, but were halted In a piece of woods and were ordered to fight on foot. We were already under fire and In considerable confusion, and only a portion of the command heard the order, so It happened that some of us fought as cavalry and some as Infantry. Schultz remained mounted and did heroic service. Early In the fight his pet was shot. As the animal made but little fuss over It and steadied down quickly his rider thought It was only a slight wound and remained In the battle all day, having traveled many miles In the performance of important and dangerous tasks, the wounded animal seeming to enter Into the spirit of the work as completely as his master. That night, at 9 o'clock, the brigade carriped. The moment Frank was unsaddled he lay down. Schultz thought It was because the horse, like himself, was tired, , end. after patting him and telllnsr him In both languages what a splendid fellow he had been that day, and thanked him for carrying him safely through one of the hottest battles, he busied himself with supper-getting. In the forags bag were several estra ears of corn. After his -own repast of black coffot, crackers and uncooked white pork, such a banquet .as many a soldier has boon more thankful for than he was for the feast of last Thanksgiving. Schultz shelled the corn and took It to Frank. The horse did not welcome him as usual: did not rest his head on the master's shoulder and look. If he did not speak, thanks for such a master. He didn't hear Schultz announce In German that he was coming with a double ration. Frank was dead and stiffening, showing that soon after lying dow. life had departed. "When Schultz realized that his pet was dead he threw the corn down, dropped by the side of the animal, tenderly laid one hand on his neck, and with the other gently rubbed his head, as he had done many times before, and Fobbed like a child. In talking about his loss the next day he said: 'My poor Frank couldn't tell me he was badly hurt and ask to go to hospital, as I would have done had I been shot. He carried me all day as If he thought It was his duty, and that things would po vrrong If he didn't, and when the battle was over and I was getting supper he lay down and died. That horse was a better soldier than I am than any man In the regiment. Not one of us would have fought all day with such a hurt as that. No one would have expected it of us. yet I expected It of Frank and he did not fall me. I shall never think as much of anything again as long as I live. With this outburst the poor fellow broke down again, and none of his comrades made light of the young German's sorrow; they knew it was sincere." That was a story atout a good horse and a good soldier. Now let me tell about one of the trials of a good solflier with a bad horse. The late General John A. Kellogg, who fought his way from lieutenant of a company to commander of a brigade, bought a magnificent roan a few days before General Grant began the closing campaign. It was a high-spirited creature, tall, powerful and speedy. Kellogg was greatly pleased with his new possession. His staff had to do a good deal of fast riding fur a -x-k before the closing scenes of the great contest began. The general seemed to want everyone in the Fifth corps to see his h.indsomo roan, so he rode from camp to camp making social calls, his staff, made up largely of new riders, bobbing and Jolting after him. There was not a man of Kellogg' military family but regretted the birth of that roan. He was jolting their young lives away. The day of reckoning came at the battle of Gravelly Itun, or, as some call It, White Oak Road. March 31, Kellogg massed his brigade in a piece of woods. About 10 o'clock It became necessary to move quickly to a better position and get Into line of battle for Immediate business, for a division of the other folks was coming that way, practicing on their famous "Yell" song. Just as the brigade was In line, and almost before It had got Its beating heart well under foot, the enemy poured a vast sheet of lead at us. "Stand fast, men; hold your ground !" commanded Kellogg from his prancing roan. Then came another volley. That, with the roar and rattle of the Union gun?, was too much for the roan. He bounded Into the air and teemed to turn around, facing the rt?r,

befor he struck the ground. In pplte of Kellogg's weight on the bits and his frantic whoas, tho roan "limbered" to the rear at greater speed than he had ever traveled while churning the staff Into a skleaelie. Away they dashed, horse and rider, and at n most critical time. It was a hot fight and no time for the general to limber to the rear. Just ns the chief of staff directed an orderly to go to the general's rescue and give him a sfe horse I saw Kellogg slide down the tail of the flying roan and start on a dead run for the line of battle. The hot comments General Kellogg made on his roan that and the next day would make a thick book wholly unfit for family use. . It Is due to the equine population to say that It was a very uncommcn thing for a horse to try to get away from a battle. A thousand men longingly looked for a chance to "lijnber" to the rear and "cool coffee" during a fight where one horse even tried to escape bullets. The man reasoned and the horse did not. Most horses In battle, unless wounded, were as unconcerned, apparently, as If they had been pulling plows or reapers. The man la battle who was as unconcerned ns one holding a plow or driving a reaper was a fool. Men who say they were as happy and contented in a battle as while at home on tbe farm or eating a Christmas dinner lie. Fuch a thing Is impossible, unless, as stated, the man Is a fool; and fools don't enlist. J. A. Watrous, In Chicago TImes-IIerald.

A Born Soldier. Maj. Gen. J. E. I?. Stuart, of the Confederate cavalry, whose statue has recently been unveiled at Richmond, was a soldier by nature. Dash'ng and daring, cool in the face of danger, he was one of the brave and picturesque figures of the civil war. II. B. McClellan quotes, in "Life and Campaigns of Major General Stuart," from General FItzhugh Lee's Impression of tbe future cavalry leader while he was still at West Foint: "I recall his distinguishing characteristics, which were strict attention to military duty; erect, soldierly bearing; immediate and almost thankful acceptance of a challenge to fight from any cadet who might feel himself In any way aggrieved, and a clear, ringing voice," Stuart was a most cheerful soldier. That "clear" voice of his was often used In singing his favorite war song: "If you want to have a good time, Jine the cavalry." His courageous attitude was held until tbe very end. He was wounded by a pistol on the battlefield. As he was being carried away he noticed the disorganized ranks of his retreating men. "Go back !" he called out. "Go back ! Do your duty as I have done mine. Go back I I'd rather die than be whipped !" Those were his last words on the field of battle. Later he said, with the same courage: "I'm going fast now. God's will be done." Guarding n Crazy Soldier. "In one of the forced marches of a summer campaign a man In our regiment became overheated and exhibited so many of the peculiarities of an insane "man that he was sent to Washington. I was then a sergeant, and was detailed to take the poor fellow through. He had never been violent, and It was si;posed that one man would have no difficulty In controlling him. But It was a long Journey In box cars, In boats, and finally, In the last stage of the Journey, In a Pullman sleeper. "While we were traveling In a box car the prisoner played several tricks upon me, and on one occasion nearly made good his escape. On the boat he represented that I was the prisoner and he was my guard, and kept me in hot water all the time. After we took the sleeper on the Baltimore and Ohio road he threw the tickets out of the window and climbed out himself. I saved him by reaching out and pulling him In by main force. When we reached Washington I was so exhausted that I turned him over to the provost marshal and slept for two days. Then I was called to the prison, Informed that my man had become so violent no one could approach him, and that he had turned the water on In his cell and was flooding the prison. "I went at once to the cell, asked Charley what wis the matter, and he, walking around In water In his bare feet, said that he was fndignant at being put In such a place, and he wanted to get out. I informed him that I had come to take him out. He put on his clothes without a murmur and walked with me to an ambulance waiting to take us to th? asylum. In sight of the building, he rebelled, but we drove hurriedly through the gates and I dllvered him to the authorises. He was kept there for six months atd was discharged as cured, went bom? to his family, and showed no signs f Insanity until one day he was out on the Ohio river with his sisters, when he suddenly arose, Jumped Into the water, and was drowned. My experience with that poor fellow was harder than any I ever had In battle, and I was two months in recovering from the strain of that trip to Washington." Chicago Times-Herald. A Ilrave Confederate. Eugene Anderson Mallitt served on board the Alabama during its entire cruise, and was on board during the fight with the Kearsarge. The courage of this young Confederate sailor Is well attested by Capt. J. Mcl. Kell, executive ofliccr of the Alabama, who in the Century Magazine for April, 18SG, after describing the fight, says: "Partly undressing, we plunged Into the sea, and made an offing from the sinking ship, Capt Semmes with a life preserver and I on a grating. "Young Midshipman Maflitt swam to me and offered his life preserver. My grating was not proving a very buoyant Coat, and the whitecape breaking over my head were distressingly uncomfortable, to say the least. Maflitt said: "'Mr. Kell, take my life preserver, sir; you arc almost exhausted "The gallant boy did not consider his own condition, but his pallid fice told mo that his heroism was superior to his bodily suffering, and I refused it." They were both picked up soon afterward, writes Mrs. Maflitt In "Life and Services of J. N. Maflitt," by the Deerhound, and taken to England. In 19CKJ the United States produced 2G.23S flasks of quicksilver valued at $9S5,G34, a decrease In quantity of 4,213 flasks, and a value of $144,4SG In 1903. California, Texas, Utah, and Oregon are the producers, but there are discoveries In Nevada and Arizona.

If only fence posts were made of cement, what a lot of hard work with the sixteen pound sledge would be savod. Petting the cows Is regarded as part of the chores OÄ a successful dairy farm, but it Is not made to take the place of feed. It Is hardly ever necessary to look very far from home to find why some 1kv9 are anxious to leave the farm, and others are perfectly willing to stay. Labor saving machinery Is doing away with most of the outdoor and indoor drudgery on the farm, as the up-to-date farmer i& supplied with a reasonable amount of both kinds. When Incubators first came Into existence people with one accord prophesied that the business would be overdone. Yet "good" eggs are higher than ever and pure-bred poultry still sells exceedingly well. There Is often as good an opportunity to Increase an Income by turning waste to resource as by looking for new f elds in which to Invest one's enterprise. Every day some means of ulitizlng byproducts Is discovered. "Hogs don't need any housin.?," a man said to me not long past, raise 'em under natural conditions." Thereupon I wondered if the man was much of a naturalist, and knew about the sheltered woods and leaf-matted lxxls of the wild hog. A handy record book of some on. of the many forms Is absolutely indispensable to the breeder who has any regard for accuracy In his work. About as handy a book as any Is the one that can be worn In the Jeans and data entered and kept right up to date. There is a big knack in punish ng a dumb brute. Sometimes an old cow can be taught more with a piece of rubber ho.e about the location of her stanchion than she could learn In a month by driving her from one to the other until she arrive at the right place. The best piece of furniture in a farm home Is a big, old-fashioned fireplace around which the family may gather every evening. ' With lots of good literature Jn the home and plenty of good wood In use In the fireplace, there will be little danger about the boys and girls doing much gadding about. In view of the extensive land tiling that Is going on In many parts, there Is bound to be more or less poor work done. Some of the most important things to be avoided are sags where silt will clog the system, sharp turns that check the water flow, cracked tile that in time may crumble, bungling connections at points where lines Intersect, obscured outlets and a doubtful fall. Beware of these, put sound, largeenough tile below the frost and the system v; ill work. Varrlnallon of Hok. Secretary Wilson states In his annual report that blood serum from hogs which have been proved to be Immune to hog cholera has been used In vaccinating other hogs, which are thus protected from cholera for about three weeks, as shown by experiments. If blood from diseased hogs, however, is Injected with the serum the protection Is extended to about three and a half months. Sugar Ileet. In all cases but one at the Wisconsin experiment station the largest yields of beets and of sugar were obtained on plants receiving, a complete fertilizer, w ith barnyard manure standing next as the cheapest application. Lime applied at the rate of 1,000 pounds per acre produced a beneficial effect on a number of fields, and In one Instance a heavy clay soil required a double application to Increase the yield of beets and sugar. ow to Kill n Sbeep. Much of the sheepy flavor of mutton, according to Mr. Boss, of the Minnesota College of Agriculture, conies froni the generation of gases in the stomach after the sheep is killed. For this reason sheep should be dressed as rapidly as possible. A platform six or eight inches high Is a convenient thing to work on and aids In keeping the blood away from the body, Insuring a cleaner carcass. A clean, dry place Is necessary for neat work. Water or blood on the wool makes it very difficult to dress the animal nicely. If the sheep is an eld one It may be stunned before bleeding. If n young one, the same purpose Is served by dislocating the neck after cutting the throat. This Is accomplished by putting one hand on the poll of top of the head and the other under the chin, giving a sharp twist upward. Lay the sheep on its side on the platform, with Its head handing over the end. Grasp the chin in the left hand, stick a knife through tho neck Just back of the Jaw. The cutting edge of the knife should be turned toward the spinal column and the flesh cut to the bone without cutting the windpipe. Homemade Farm AVaaron. A practical farmer, writing to an agricultural paper on the advantage of a low wagon on the farm, says : "This wagon Is used here a great deal and gives good service. Procure the wheels and axles of two old mowing machines; then have blacksmith cut and lengthen axle to the right length for a wagon axle. On this fasten, your wooden axle, which may be a hardwood plank, 3x4 inches. Put on flatwise and fasten with clips through thl3 and around the iron axle. On this fasten your bolster with kingbolts; make both ax'etrce and boaters Just alike. Now make two reaches and let them cross In the center, and fasten each end of each one of the reaches to axletree with a pin, so they can turn ind not Interfere with the bolsters, this answers for hounds and greatly

Put in tongue, and you have a very handy farm wagon that will not cost over $5 and last for years. Make, one this winter, and have it ready for hauling corn shocks, etc. An RIectric Incubator. An electric incubator has been introduced In Euroi k, tbe operation of which is said to be attended by surer results than other methods. for the reason that it is capable of finer adjustment as far as heating and ventilation are concerned. One of the most difficult features of artificial poultrybreeding Is a proper supply of fresh air. In the electrical incubator air is supplied from underneath, the entering fresh, air coming in contact with the eggs after being properly preheated by special radiators. This ventilation is controlled by opening to a variable extent the lateral slides fixed nt the top of the apparatus. It should be remembered that ventilation plays the role of maintaining the life of the germ. While an ample supply of fresh air. therefore, is extremely valuable for the development of the germ, any excess of ventilation will prove detrimental; in fact, the surplus air will exert a drying action on the contents of the eggs. In this incubator the matter of ventilation and heating is looked after automatically. Ventilating; the Poultry Honae. The experiment stations in more than one state have taken hold of the question of cloth ventilation for tho poultry house. Perhaps the most effective arrangement is that which has een put into use by the Maine ExIeriment station, where fowls are permitted to sleep in a roosting chamber that Is separated from the rest of the house by a cloth curtain that Is pulled down in front In the winter. Prof. Woods says that the fowls behind this are warm and comfortable and that water does not freeze In the chamber. In the morning there is no smell In this chamber, the air being pure. The window to the hen house is allowed to remain open except during the diiving storms, when the snow might come iu. None of the birds in the roosting place have colds, and, on the other hand, contagious diseases do not spread. When the cloth is used the fitting should be so tight that the air can drift around it. The air should le compelled to pass directly through tho cloth and not around It or over it or under it. It Is probable that this will prove usable on all our farms. Dreetllng Hens for Layer. The -Maine Experiment Station has been making practical experiments in breeding for the 200-egg hen. Professor Gowell has been working with the same family of Barred Kocks for twenty-one years, but, beginning with 19G0 he had two hens with a trapnest record of 204 and 10G eggs per year. These hens were mated to males unrelated to them or to each other. In 1901 each of these hens, and all the hens which had laid 200 eggs or over during 1900, were bred to a son of the original two hens. One hen laid 2:17 eggs in 1900. In 1902 twelve birds laid over 200 eggs each, the highest number laid by one hen being 231. In the same pen were six hens that laid only from twenty-three to seventy eggs each. In 1903 the pullets were raised from 200-egg hens and hens whoso dams and grandams were sired by cocks from over 200-egg yielding mothers. For this season they have 000 pullets out of hens that have laid over 100 eggs per year, and whose fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers were out of hens that yielded over 200 eggs per year. All of the mothers of these pullets had fathers and grandfathers that had 200-egg producing mothers. In 1Ü07 oue hen In seven laid 200 eggs and over; the first year only one hen in forty. Shrinkage of Indian Corn. The experiment to determine tho shrinkage of corn in the crib has been carried on three seasons at the Kansas exieriment station. A summary of the results shows a shrinkage of 3.2G per cent for the first four mouths after tho corn was placed in 4 be crib, o.lO per cent for the first six months, G.S0 per cent for the first eight months, 7.41 per cent for the first ten months and 8.02 per cent for the first twelve months. Yellow corn has given the greatest average shrinkage namely, 11.21 per cent In twelve mouths, the next greatest shrinkage occurring In the cribs of wLite corn. 8.4S per cent in twelve months, while the mixed corn (samples of many varieties) decreased In weight only 0.18 per cent during the first twelve mouths after being placed In the crib. The average result of all shrinkage trials Indicates that when corn is cribbed fairly dry and in good condition the shrinkage during the winter months should not be over 5 per cent. It should be observed, however, that in these experiments great care was exercised to prevent loss of corn by other than natural means. Corn breeding by the ear row method was begun in lt;03. Nine different varieties were grown and bred in 1900 as follows: Bold Yellow Dent, Silvermine, Boone County White, Legal Tender, Ilogue Yellow Dent, Hildreth. McAuley, Kansas Sunflower and White Injun. Some eighty acres were used for breeding corn and growing corn for seed production in 1900, and 410 breeding ears were planted in separate rows in the several breeding plots. During the last two years the agronomy department has sold and distributed among the farmers of the State several hundred bushels of selected, well bred seed corn. The difference in the yields from different ear, rows has been very marked, varying In some tests more than 400 per cent. Comparisons made in 1900 between the high yielding rows seed and first grade seed selected froni the general field gave results as follows: The Silvermlne high yielding rows seed plot yielded 32 per cent more corn and 24.8 per cent more fira grade seed ears than the plot planten with first grade seed. The Hildreth high yielding rows seed plot yielded 10.3(5 per cent more corn and 40 per cent more first grade seed ears than the plot planted with first grade seed of this variety. There has been a similar improvement i?. th-i $r4 and quality of the com

Inflamed and badly swollen, with terrible burning and Itching. One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up. I decided to give Cuticura a trial.

Sir Humphrey Davy had been studying one evening in comfortable negligee of dressing gown and nightcap at a little table in his chamler when he became aware of a curious phenomenon. A bright dancing circle of light appeared upon the ceiling. It was unsteady, yet persistent, and he was unable to account for It. He extinguish ed his lamp, but it only appeared the brighter. It was accompanied by an odor a scorching odor and also by a slight sound of sizzling. He was greatly excited and running over rapidly in his mind all kinds of electrical and other interesting theories to account for the mystery when he became aware of a sensation of uncomfortable warmth about the scalp. He hastily put up his hand, and down tumbled his theories and a blazing nightcap. The tassel on its peak had bobbed into bis candle as he bent over his book, and the fascinating problem on the ceiling was no more than the reflection of the evening bonfire on his cranium.

A "Way Some People Have A doctor said: "Before marriage my wife observed In summer and country homes, coming in touch with families of varied means, culture, tastes and discriminating tendencies, that the families using Postum seemeil to average better than those using coffee. . "When we were married two years ago, Postum was among our first order of groceries. We also put In some coffee and tea for guests, but after bot It had stood around the pantry about a year untouched, they were thrown away, and Postum used only. "Up to the age of 2S I had been accustomed to drink coffee as a routine habit and suffered constantly from indigestion and all its relative disorders. Since using Postum all the old complaints have completely left me and I j sometimes wonder if I ever had them." I Name given by Postum Co., Battle ' Creek, Mich. Bead, "The Boad to Wellville In pkgs.

Ready for All Comers. , The passengers were suddenly startled by a shower of rice that fell from the bride's parasol when she took it from the rack. The bridegroom, a dark, stalwart chap, observing tho smiles, placed his arm about his blushing bride, and then faced the passengers with the following remarks : "I reckon there ain't no need for me to say we ain't been married long; but I can tell you all one thing. You don't want to smile any more than's perlite; for she's my violet nd I'm her sheltering oak, and I weighs two hundred and eight pounds." Success Magazine. Strange Fog Signal. When fogs prevail in Boston harbor, the attention of passengers on the Nantasket Beach line of steamers is attracted by -a faint metallic sound which

might be mistaken for the sound of a bell. But it is not the clanging of a bell which the passengers hear. SuöV denly through th6 mist there appears ahead, like a specter, a large tripod, from the apex of which is suspended a big steel triangle. It is this which causes the strange sound and signals vessels as to bow to guide their course through the difficult channel of the fog. For 12c and this notfc? the John A. Salzer Sped Co..

rate of OVER A MILLION BOXES A MONTH, proving- that the American people recognize, that what is BEST FOR THEM is none too good. Why this enormous patronage ? The answer is simple: Cascarets are pure, clean, sweet, mild, fragrant, harmless but effective little tablets for the treatment and cure of Constipation and Ul Bowel Troubles. They are put up in neat little enamel boxes, easy to buy, easy to carry (in vest-pocket or purse), easy to take and easy of action, always reliable, always the same, they "work while you sleep" and wake you up feeling fine in the morning. They not only regulate the movement and stimulate the muscular tolls of the bowels, but they keep the ENTIRE CANAL CLEAN and antiseptic, forcing out and destroying all disease germs that breed in the accumulated filth unless promptly and regularly discharged. Therefore, they are a great preventire cf disease, and may be taken continuously as a precautionary measure. - The new Pure Drugs Act, adopted by Congress on June 30, 1905, and in ffect January 1, 1907, is a GOOD LAW and means better and PURER drugs for the American People. We endorse it and will livs up to it ia SPIRIT and LETTER, an easy task, as we have always been ' actuated by the same principles and no changes are required in our formula or package. We adopted OUR OWN PURE DRUG LAW in 1895 when the first box of Cascarets came on the market and have lived and worked and produced under it ever since. To-day,after a record of nearly 100,000,000 boxes sold, Cascarets STAND the greater in PURITY, QUALITY and MEDICINAL MERIT than any other preparation for Bowel trouble in all the world. This should be a great argument for any one, to try Cascarets AT ONCE, and be healthier and happier for it Some people have CHRONIC CONSTIPATION with all the horrors derived from it; others have HAB. ITUAL CONSTIPATION from carelessness and neglect, but nearlv EVERYBODY has OCCASIONAL CONSTIPATION, which, if not promptly taken care of is liable to result in its degeneration into the worse forms and cause great suffering and perhaps death. Cascarets, if taken patiently and regularly, will remedy all of these awful troubles, but if taken promptly at the very first sign of an irregularity of the Bowels, will act as the FINEST PREVENTIVE ever discovered and will keep all the machinery running in good order. 753 We advise you to get a little 10c box of Cascarets TO-DAY and carry it in your purse or vest pocket Take one when you feel anything unusual ttaV1vW13--YOU own SSist "U Yu the little box. under GUARANTY of satisfaction or money refunded.

Accoringly, it is not claimed that Syryp cf Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reason why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for Bale by all leading druggists. ,
