> ? ???J???! THE SILENT MARCH. Whoa the march begins in the morning And the heart and foot are light, When the flags are all a-flutter And the world is gay and bright. When the bngles lead the column And the drums are proud in the van. It's shouMer to shoulder, forward, march* An I tet him lag who can ! For it's easy to march to music "With your comrades all in line. And you don't get tired, you feel inspired, And life is a draught divine. When the march drags on at evening And the color-bearer'3 gene, "When the merry strains are silent * That piped so brave in the dawn. "When you miss the dear old fellows Who started out with you. When it's stubborn and sturdy, forward* march! Though the ragged lines are few. & ; . Then it's hard to march in silence. And. the road has lonesome grown, Ami life is a bitter cup to drink. But the soldier must not moan. r And this is the task before us, / A task we may never shirk, r In the gay lime and the sorrowful time - We must march and do our work. We must march when the music cheers us, March when the strains are dumb, Pluck and valiant, forward march, V ' And smile whatever may come. For, whether life's hard or easy, The strong man keeps the space, For the desoiate march and the silent The strong soul finds the grace. ?Margaret E. Sangster, in Chicago Interior, j I | A Ride in_the Night. | i How the First Officer Received J jj ^ His Wound. ^ in gL<J" v It was the evening of the first day out. Behind us the sun had 1 : dropped down below the sea, and the j steamship was plowing on steadily into the east, where the darkness was gathering fast. The first officer stood f with his back against the rail, lazily I watching the throng of passengers on the promenade deck. The whole ? i affair started with a commonplace i "Good evening." It ended with the following story: "Yes, that was rather a nasty cut at the time," he began. "1 came by it during the last hour of the ride, soon after we had sighted the town lights, i and, strange enough, it wasn't from a bullet at all?not one of them had ; touched me all night?but it came from the broken lantern of the last man that fell. * As the fellow pitched ; from the saddle he swung his lantern j aeros8 him, and the glass of it struck me in the face and bust to pieces. "That was back in?no, it wasn't ; - either. Let's see, now, it was some years after we stole that gunboat I . told you of, but I've forgotten when that was, too. "Well, it isu't of much consequence, anyway. I was hue of the intelligence officers in the service of the Indian government,and just before sundown that evening the ?

" "We've got important despatches to * carry down to headquarters tonight,' said he. 'See that the horses' iron shoes are replaced by the leathers, an 1 be on hand yourself at 9 o'clock. The orders are that we've got to get the papers through by daylight' "We had other orders beside these, sort of special, orders that weren't ' written down anywhere, bnt none of ns were likely to forget fhem, or we . didn't speak about them much among ourselves. Yon see, the government wanted those despatches to go through, and if a man dropped out of the running?well, it was exceedingly bad lack for him, that's all?the rest of as couldn't stop. .* There wasn't any moon that night, but %he akv was clear, which was a good thing you see, for we only had the stars to go by, and if tfe once get off the track we'd go wandering round the desert till we died. Prompt at 9 o'clock we started. There were 12 of us. The colonel took the lead? he was an old hand at the game?and I took up the rear guard behind. Between up rode the sergeant and nine troopers. . We passed the sentry just an taps was sounded in the stillness. Then we lit the lanterns, which we carried on the end of lances, swinging out slowly into the desert "Nobody spoke a word. There was a little draught of wind blowing in from somewhere, and all around the desert sort of sneaked off into the blackness and disappeared. It was terrible quiet The steady creaking iol leather and the jangling of the bits y. made it worse. The lanterns, too, they made ns all look funny, swingle ing gently at the end of the long pole? and throwing yellow discs of light before the horses. The colonel had a S7 " notion abont those lanterns. He said < the niggers conld see us anyway, if c we showed a fare or not, and the k' light kept the horses going steady. I eould never quite make out whether he was a genius or a jackass, as the | saying goes, but he being the colonel 'didn't leave any room for argument lor me. <rWe had jogged along about an hour or so, when of a sudden I heard a low rumbling from somewhere behind us in the night. I was just going to speak of it when the colonel up and hollers: "Now, boys, they're after us. Put it to 'em.' And away we went a-tearin' down the desert '? "For the first two miles we hit a terrible clip. The wind was sweepin' past Us like the rush of a sudden squall, and the lanterns were a*bobbin' fit to die. "By and by we come to slow up s bit for a breathing spell, and the rumbling grew plainer. I had turned half around to take a look at then yhen a fash of fire spat at me froir out the blackness behind, and 'ping! byjove she whistled close. Thai started us off again a-whoopin'. "At the next breathing spell th< * ? ? TT v i j ; I sergeant was nit- ne nem cm gram for upward of half a mile; but sooz he turned to wabbling, and gripping to the saddle, and granting softly. I was enough to turn r man sick to se< the poor fellow figktin' that way wkei there wasn't any use, for we all knev what he was comin' to, and so did he "Then all at once his lanten sweeped downward to the ground and my horse jumped him. None o us looked back?we knew enough no to?but we rode like fury to get ou of earshot before they found him. 1 'That was the first of 'em The bullets kept a-whizzing by with out a bit of let-up. The gang wa Strainin' crazy to catch us. I had come down to solid business now Each man was riding for himself.

There wasn't ahy talkini We were staring before ns, straight in front, trying to raise the town beyond the skyline, aud waiting always for M to see who'd catch it next. gc 'Then We began to feel that tho m horses were playing out beneath us, and with the breathing spells growing longer and more often,the niggers ? gained. The next man was shot dead, th aud we didn't have to shut our teeth for him.

And the officer passed forward a along the deck to disappear in the 11 thick darkness that had settled down over the ship. J E STOOD BESIDE HIS OWN CRAVE. Head the Inscription, but Doesn't Know Who Is Buried There. Dr. John W. Sage, who was buried recently at Hartford City, Iud., saw . his grave and headstone while he was yet living, but the grave had been dug and the stone had beeu carved without the authority and knowledge of himself or friends. Dr. Sage was a member of one of the Indiana regimeuts that fought iu the battle of P.ViictnmMnijra and he was wounded there. When he came out of the hospital he was transferred to the reserve corps, where he remained until the end of the war. A year ago the4doctor> in company with a party of excursionists, visited the southern battlefields over which he once marched. He saw the old tree under which he slept after a day's terrific engagement, in which he was badly wounded. It was on this night that he threw away his knapsack and lay down to die alone. Vhile making a tour of the battlefield of Chickamauga he came upon what purported to be his own grave. There could be i.o mistake, as the epitaph on the tombstone read: "John W. Sage, Company F, Seventy-fifth Regiment, Indiana Volunteers." It gave kirn quite a shock when he saw it there. He never learned the correct name of the soldier buried there, although he made a thorough investigation. The doctor received a communication from Dr. C. S. Arthur of Portland, Ind., who during the war was on duty in a hospital. Arthur writes that on Saturday, Sept 19, 1868, Sage came to the hospital for treatment, after which he returned to his regiment. On the following Sunday afteri noon a man was brought to Arthur's hospital, near Crawford Springs, Ga., 1 mortally wounded. The dying man i resembled Sage so closely that he was given the name of Sage of Company F, Seventy-fifth regiment, Indiana volunteers. The man was attired in a cavalryman's uniform, but nothing was thought of this, as some of the members of the Seventy-fifth were J compelled to care for themselves as t best they could, and Arthur naturally ! concluded that Sage had appropriated l ?_ I a aeaa cavalryman s wumca. uo thereby made a mistake, which afterward proved very embarrassing to Sage and his relatives. Arthur afterward met Sage in Winchester, Ind.,* where, after explana| tions were made, Sage told Arthur that on going into battle on that Saturday he laid aside his knapsack, in ; which were a testament, diary and some | letters from Winchester, Ind. The ; knapsack was taken by the cavalryj man resembling him, and thus became | the cause of further complications. : The supposed John W. Sage was buried | by Dr. Arthur, Dr. John McCurdyaud I Dr. C. W. Fowler of Youngstown, i Ohio; Dr. Frank Morris of the Thirty! fifth Ohio Volunteer infantry, A. H. Shaffer of HuntingtoD, Ind., and 0. I. Herrick of the Thirty-fourth Illinois Volunteer infantry.

Some rears ago the agricultural department nade similar tests on heifers and reached the same conclusion. But rarmers have usually thought that >nch corn was an unwholesome if not i dangerous food, and they probablj founded their opinion upon soms Due's nractical experience. "We ar< LDclined even now to think the farmers are right. Possibly the secret of its having done no injury will be founc in the gradual increase of the amoun given.

The yellow or wax varieties of bean are subject to a disease tha1. is calle pod-spot or anthracuose. It begin by the appearance of small spots thn are of a reddish brown color and ar slightly depressed. As the pods grow the centres of these spots assume dark color and they may run togethei It shrinks the pod and dwarfs an shrivels the beans. It is not usuall prominent except in rainy seasons It lies over the winter in disease beans. If such beans are mixed wit sound beans, when sending them t market, the fungus will spread raj idly. The same rust attacks melon; and hence melons should not folio beans that have had the disease, fc the spores, like the spores of cor smut, are in the gronn'd. If bear that have been pod-spotted are use for seed, the disease will appear upc the leaves as soon as the seed leave appear an^d may kill the plant, ar sometimes the largest proportion < the crop is killed.

Selected milch cows at the Mai: experiment station were fed ti rations which differed widely in t amount of protein contained. W. Jordan reports that in both the tii I othy hay was the same and the weigh of the grain were equal, but in o ration the grain consisted of eqr weights of corn meal, gluten and c< tonseed meals, while in the others was all corn meal. The digestil material furnished was practically t same in both rations, though the pi portion of digestible protein u nearly twice as great in the mix grain ration as in the corn m< ration. The general appearance of the co showed less thrift while being fed t corn meal ration, though the bo weight did not vary greatly. The j trogenous ration produced from 01 fifth to one-third more milk than t ""on' art/1 tliia milk* WHS fTftU cuiu xugaiy ttuu ? -- 0 ally the richer iu solids by 30 to per cent. The ration fed seemed have little effect upon the compositi of the milk solids. Throughout the experiment 1 proportion of fat steadily increas without regard to what the cows w< fed, and no evidence was furnished support of the claim that by changi the food of cows, more butter fat v be produced without an accompai ing increased production of the oil milk solids. Hence the most pro able food for butter production v also be the most profitable for 1 cheese maker or the milk farmer. 1 chemical tests did not show any i preciable difference in the but made from the two rations. C< meal needs the addition of more trogenous material to make it a use food for dairy cows. Winter Care of Bees. The latest method of locating hives on the ground, each hive sitt: on its own bottom board, is a mi better way of wintering bees than way of setting the hives on h fences, and perhaps a number of hi on the same platform. These bene ? i *!<.< < ? /-*vi otilfo ova crrootlv hCt U iJ ixiun uu ov*ft vw ma v/ j fected by the storms, and the shak thus produced is detrimental to bees. The hives should be in si position that tbey mav be kept free ' any motion or jar, and when set cl to trees the limbs of the same sho not come in contact with the hiv but any limb that may be dri1 against the hives bj' wind should , removed. Windbreaks in winter very beneficial to the bees and should :n all cases be placed around th? hives. High boaid fences are the best, but anything that will auswer the purpose is better than none, and | may be used but temporarily.

No stock of auy kind should have j the run of the apiary. Poultry will ! do no harm in summer, but should ; not be attracted about the bee hives in winter by the use of straw or anything of that nature about tue hwes. It is always best to have hives to face the south or east in winter, or rather to have the backs of the hives toward the storm. Heavy snows do no injury to the bees and should not be shoveled away from the hives. This is often done, and more damage than good results from it. Hives may be en| tirely covered with snow, and during a very 6evere spell of cold weather this is very beneficial protection tc the hives.?A. H. Duff, in Farm, Field and Fireside. Pruning: in the Krnlt Orchard. While the winter season is one ol Bome leisure to the orehardist, if ought not to be one of entire inactivity, for their is pruning to be done, find its proper performance is a mat ter of much importance, says Josepl Meehan in the Country Gfehtleman, The young orchard may need but lit tie hard work, but it will need mud head work, for 011 its proper treat ment now will depend whether or no' , it is to afford pleasure and profit ir after years. The young apple orchard needs lit i tie more than the thinning out o ; branches where they are too thick i and the shortening in of others tha ; may need it to give good shape to th I future tree. It'is by judicious worl 5 in this way in the early years of ai ; orchard that well-formed, beautifu t trees are developed. There is n ' gain in having branches too low 5 Prune them up to five or six feet, tha i getting about under them is practice i ble. Large bearing trees often nee j no pruning. Sometimes, where 1 branch is unthrifty, it is better to cn t it out, to induce a new, healthy one t s take its place. And where such larg j trees have not been well pruned whe , young, there may be large limbs whic l need cutting out that others may I 3 ! beuefited; When such is the cas< I saw off close to the trunk, and paii , the scar to prevent decay, t Much the same rules apply to prui y ing the pear'as to the apple, but as makes more branches when young, needs closer attentioli at that tim< Very often good-sized trees are see g with far too many branches on then j | The tendency of almost all pruners 8 j to leave too many'branches, Do xl< t | let them interlace each other. T1 i time to cut them dnt when they sho a tendency to do this is tfhen they a: *a quite small. Cut them off close the limb they start from, that no bu< will be left to start afresh. The larg round buds of winter are the ones th j bear the flowers. Sometimes in pru ing it is well to observe them, as k sometimes occurs that it is desirab 0 a certain kind should flower the coi ' ing season. Bearing trees will ofti 3 have their branches brought dut shape by the weight of fruit. Pru: )r such crooked branches in such a w: n that a good outline will be kept up. s Peaches and apricots are litl ^ pruned, as usually spen, and yet f< tn fruit trees are more benefited by g Should there be no young wood the l(j will be no fruit. .

Not only is a lit' f0 pruning good; that of summer, p formed while growth is still going c lx is perhaps better. In regard to t as plum, what has been said of the pe e~ applies to it very well.
