Weep not for those, that nobly dying.
Have left name unstained aad bright
Quick to their country's call replying,
They girded on their sword for right;
They quailed not at the battles thunder,
Their hopeful hearts all fear dehed;
They burst bold treason's ranks asunder,
And in the flush of victory died.
But ali ! amid each joyous feeling,
There mingles q sad sense of Woe;
And tears the inward grief revealing,
VIII from our eyes unbidden flow.
OH many friends are vainly striving
To view again we'll known FORMS
Alas! he is not with the living;
He persisted in the battles storm.
Bravely he stood while death was flying
Around him on that well-fought day
And on the field of glory dying
His spirit passed from earth away;
Passed from this world of pain and sorrow,
Wherein his steps in honor Irod;
There's now for him no gloomy morrow,
His spirit is at rest with God.
Often shall future ages telling,
How those brave patriots freely bled,
On all their deeds of honor dwelling,
Pay tribute to the noble dead
Proudly for freedom cause they perished;
Calm may their fearless spirits rest
Still shall their glorious names be cherished,
Shrined in their countrys grateful breast

Az ILLINOIS FAR4.-The largest farm in
Illinois is that of Isaac Funk, who resides
near Bloomington, Mclean county. The
total number of acres occupied and owned
by him is 80, 9o0-one farm Of $1,000
acres, said to be worth $50 per acre. and
three pasture fields containing. respectively,
8, 600 acres, $500 and 1000 acres. His
great crop is corn, all of which he consumes
at home, and is thus able to market about
$4,000 worth of cattle per year at New
York. His stock on hand of horses, mules,
hogs and fat cattle, is said to be worth ST.

what his land is best adapted to, and confne
himself to such crops.
The kind of seed is all important, too. If
the proper thought has been bestowed on
the subject, and the proper inquiry made,
our farmers should be pretty we'll posted as
to which. of the many kinds of winter wheat
sown last year succeeded best. Where soil
and cultivation were equal, that kind which
grew the best and has yielded most should
be largely selected for the present seeding.
The seed should be pure, or else better not
SOW. It won't pay to plant and cherish

OUR FARMERS MUST COMPARE NOTES.
The general success which has attended
the cultivation of the wheat crop this year
in Kansas, ought to slim late the farmer to
increased attention to that crop the coming
year. This present season being only an
ordinary one for this country, the frequency
of the instances of more than ordinary yields
is convincing enough as to the adaptability
of the coil and climate to the cultivation OF
that, the most important of the cereals.
Farming, in the most ordinary branches.
has not vet been conducted through the
period Of experiment. in the country. There
may be some of our farmers who have been
here since the opening of the Territory. and
who have piled their pursuit with their
eyes constantly wide awake. and their un-
| derstandings clear and active, that can de-
termine with tolerable exactness the condi-
tons which must be observed to insure
largest returns, in the cultivation of the
ordinary crops. But there is much for all
to learn, if we would make certain average
success. The most certain and speedy in
strumentaIity to the diffusion of practical
knowledge needed, is the newspaper. Lei
our farmers gather the items of their expe.
rience with the wheat crop this year, and
send them to the newspaper. The impor.
tant points are: The mode of cultivation
location and kind of soil, time of seeding
kind Of seed sown, how put in, when the
crop ripened. and the yield. Let these
points receive tie attention of the farmers
Let the simple facts be plainly stated, and
they will prove of more value to each thar
years of individual and uncompared expert
ence.-Lawrence Journal.

An army officer has just made most in.
teresting estimate of the materials required
by an army. He says that $4,000 men
consume daily, 312 tons and ten cwt. OF
provisions alone. thus requiring 800 hor-
ses to carry food enough to support them
for the first four days. assuming that they
themselves could carry the first three days
food-and 800 horses to carry the food
needed every day afterward. Thus SOC
tons of provisions should be sent with an
army commencing weeks march. Their
baggage and ammunition would require al
least as much more carrying material, and
cavalry ten times as much; SO that an ARM
of $4,000, properly supplied, and having g
small proportion of horse soldiers. would
need the services of over 1000 horses, a
ton each, for single days neeessaries
On the march from Alexandria to Bull Run
there should have been nearly 5000 carry
ing horses, presuming that the men would
require food marching both ways.

MORE SOUTHERN VIoLENcE.-Mr. Col
Inns, son of DR.. Collins, noted Methodist,
who escaped from the South some time SINCE,
relates the following:
'.Miss Geirnstein. young women from
Maine. who had been teaching near Mem
phis. became an object of suspicion. and
left for Cairo, on the cars. One of the fire.
men overheard her say to some Northern
men: Thank God. we shall soon be in a
land where there is freedom of thought and
speech The fellow summoned the Vigil
ance Committee, and the three Northern men
were stripped and whipped till their flesh
hung in strips. Miss G. was stripped to
her waist and thirteen lashes given her bare
back"
Mr.. Collins says the brave girl permitted
no cry or tear to escape her. but bit bel
lips through and through. With head
shaved. SCARED and disfgured, she was al
length permitted to resume her journey
toward civilization.-New York Tribune.

I will send you plan for having roses in
the winter, which cut out of an old mag
azine, more than twenty years ago. Take
the buds just ready to open, cut them from
four to six inches long, seal the ends where
you cut Them off with sealing wax, handle
them as little as possible, and wrap each
one in separate paper in cone-like form.
Place theuefn a box and the box in a drawer,
and Christmas, or whenever you want them
in winter, take them out, and cut the ends
of where they were sealed. and put them in
lukewarm water. and in about two hours
they viii be in bloom. So the recipe says.
They must be kept alright. or they will
not bioom.-MKs. 6. w. CREERY.-RuroL

FEED FOR HoRsEs-The London Omni-
bus Company use 6 1000 horses. A recent
report states that 5000 of these, fed daily on
sixteen pounds of bruised oats, seven and a
half pounds of cut hay, and two and half
pounds of cut straw for each horse. did as
mach aOork and kept in as good condition as
the other 5000, which were each fed with
nineteen pounds of unbruised oats, and thir-
teen pounds of cut hay, per day. Calling
the two and half pounds of straw equiva-
lent to one and a half pounds of hay, and
the saving is three pounds of hay per day
for each horse. Thus, then, the mere
bruising of oats and the cutting of hay eff
fects yearly saving for each horse of
thirty four bushels of oats, and 1 400 lbs.
of hay! These experiments, made upon so
large number of horses. and continued for
a considerable length OF time, are very con-
elusive, and forcibly indicate the advantage
of what has been so often urged in the col
umns of the american Agriculturist. viz.
the grinding or crushing of all grain, and
the cutting of all hay aud other forage fed
to horses. The same thing will be found
partially true of other animals, though the
ruminants-neat cattle and sheep-masti-
cate their food more in chewing the cud,
and hence the bruising of oats or other
grains is not SO important for them as for
horses and swine.

SORGHUM,

AT the time OF planting, we alluded to
the Importance of the careful and extensive
cultivation of this plant. The time is rap
idly approaching for harvesting the cane,
expressing the juice and making the syrup,
and. we hope. sugar. We do not suppose
that any extensive and thorough expert
ments can be made by our farmers this fall,
but wherever they are able to supply them
selves with the necessary apparatus for ex-
pressing and eVaporating the juice, they
should do SO, and 60 about the business in
a systematic and intelligent way.
1t would not have been bad plan, if act
ed on in season, for our farmers, where they
were unable, individually, to associate their
means and efforts to procure the kind OF
machinery and apparatus that has, upon
trial, given most satisfactory results. The
suggestion may not be too late now. Syrup
of the best quality has been manufactured
out of sorghum-so has sugar. We have
not doubt but it will be so manufactured
with the completest success. There is moi
State in the Union better adapted to the
cultivation of this cane than Kansas, and
in view of the present prospects for the SUI
gar market, our farmers need not be in
formed of the vast interests they have in thai
success. The tariff on unrefned sugar is q
cents. If we have to buy all our sugar, il
will take more than our corn crop to pay
the importation. If we make all the syrup
and sugar we need for home consumption
there is a nice little saving to our common
wealth household. If we can supply one
or two of the Northern States beside, we
shall have already entered on course o
prosperity and greatness that will amply
compensate for the years of harassment
