How a. Man Feels in Battle.

There can be nothing more puzzling than
the analysis of ones feelings on the battle
field. You cannot describe them satisfac.
torily to yourself or others. To march steadi.
ly up to the mouth of a hundred cannon
while they pour ont 6re9and smoke, and
shot and shell in storm that mows the men
like grass, is horrible beyond description
appalling. It is absurd to say man can
do it without fear. During Hancock's
charge at Fredericksburg, for along dis.
tance the slope was swept by such hurri.
cane of death that we thought every step
would be our last, and I am willing to say;
for one, that was pretty badly scared
Whatever may be said about "getting used
to it," old soldiers secretly dred a battle
equally with the new ones. But the most
difficult thing to stand up under is the sus-
pense while waiting, as we waited in Fred
ericksburg, drawn up in line Of battle on
the edge Of the field, Watching the columns
fled past US and disappear in cloud of
smoke, where horses and men and colors go
down in confusion, where all sounds. are
lost in the screaming shells, the cracking
Of musketry, the thunder Of artillery, and
knowing our own. turn comes next, expect
ing each moment the word .Forward." y"
It brings strange kind Of relief when
nForward'' comes. You move mechanical.
ly with the rest. Once fairly in for it, your
sensibilities are strangely blunted, you care
comparatively nothing about the sights that
shocked you at first; men torn to pieces by
cannon shot becomes matter of course
At such time, there comes a latent sus.
tenance from within US, or above us, which
no man anticipates who has not been in
such place before, and which most men
must pass through life without knowing
anything about What is it ? Where does
it come from?

WASH FOR BARNS.

There is no cheap substitute for oil paint
All the different kinds of white washing are
incapable Of shutting out moisture. The
sides of buildings especially exposed to rains,
will lose portion of any kind of wash by
the combined action Of frost and moisture.
Oil paint obviatcs this difficulty.
There are many different kinds of wash
recommended but with single exception
we have never found anything better than a
mixture of good lime with water. This ex-
ception we have made thorough trial with.
A rough barn, which received coating four
years ago, now retains most of it, although
a considerable portion is scaled off on the
most exposed side. This wash is made sub.
stantially as follows: One peck of fine beach
sand, three pccks Of water lime, and four
quarts Of salt. These proportions might
vary without detriment-there should be as
much sand as can be conveniently applied
Nth brush, A farm laborer applied this
mixture early last summer to two rough
barns, one about 80 by So feet, the other 20
by 80 in three anda half days, consuming
two bushels Of water lime which was nearly
the whole cost of material. This coating,
now nearly one years standing, appears to
be as good as the day it was put on. 1t will
De perceived that the expense is only about
one tenth the cost of a coat of paint.

Last Tuesday evening, March Sd, society
was formed called the Mount Vernon Farm
er's Club. A constitution was adopted and
officers elected for one year.
j. K. Griffen was elected President, L. B
Holt, Secretary, and Clark Henry, Treasurer
The club will hold monthly meetings, at
which, Agricultural topics will be discussed.
All persons in the Town can become men,

were large number in attendance at our or
ganization, who paid their fee and signed
their names. The meeting was we'll attend
ed, lively interest in agriculture was mani
Tested, and good feeling pervaded. The first
topic to be discuss I'd at our next meeting is
Is Wheat a more rcmuneratve crop than
Corny" There were several other questions
banded in which will be acted upon at future
meetings. All persons in Mount Vernon
Township, who are interested in the above
'orga nizstion, are requested TO attend.

shared by the officers and members Of such
societies, as evinced in the annual meetings
for the election of officers, and for other bust
ness purposes. Probably nine-tenths of the
county societies of the w estern States, when
previously organized, have already elected
their officers, and decided upon holding their
exhibitions. 81
These preliminary steps arc all right, and
it may be thought with so fair a start there is
ne necessity for our abiding to this matter,
except in a congratulatory paragraph. But
let us remember that the case was precisely
the same at the beginning OF last season. and
yet large number of exhibitions were post.
poned, and many others that we're conducted
on the part Of exhibitors, with little spirit or
enterprise. We allude to the subject al this
time, that we may induce officers and mem.
bers to guard against such termination the
coming Autumn. The State Society will set
a better example than last fall. We take
that for granted. Though farmers nav high
prices for all species Of merchandise ond

doubts exist upon this point, there is tho
more need of work and talk. From such
quarters we hope to hear from those disposed
to help along the cause, promising our col.
amns to aid them in awakening an interest
in their exhibitions. Let us have il to raw
that not single previously organized scri-

HEMP CULTURE,

MEssRs LUTHER TUCKER AND SoN-I OBJ
served IN your number of Feb. II, an article
from j. G. A. desiring information in regard
to hemp raising. As have been cultiva-
ting this crop for IL or ID successive years,
| will give my experience on the subject
The best soil is black rich mould, underly-
ing which should be a tough yellow clay,
such as you generally find in our best soils
in Kentucky and the Western States. The
ground should be powed in March, then re-
broke in the first days Of May or just before
sowing time, and have the land as free from
clods as possible. Now, say from the first
to the tenth of May, you may commence
sowing, putting on strong land about one
and quarter bushels of clean seed broad
cast. Following the sower, you will harrow
in, being particular that your harrow shall
run crosswise the last blowing, thus covering
the seed to sufficient depth. After harrow
ing both ways, you will roll carefully, and
the work of sowing is completed.
When the leaves in the month of August
begin to turn yellow, and dust peculiar to
hemp begins to rise, you will cut as near the
ground as possible with the kentucky hemp
knife. Than after two or three days curing,
tie up in proper sized bundles and stack i'm
mediately after the binders. 1t should re-
main IN the stacks until the first or second
week in November, when the spreading pre-
paratory to watering, should begin.
1t will, in usual seasons, require from "a
to 4 months time before the process of break
ing can commence, which is best done with
the Missouri and Kentucky hemp brake
The best hands, with properly watered hemp,
will be able to break and clean ready for mar
ket from 100 to $50 lbs. pei day. For the
convenience of shipping or hauling, it is best
to bale in quantities containing about 100 or
200 TBS. to the bale.
The seed can best be raised as you would
cultivate Indian corn. by blowing. being
careful to pull out the nonbearing stalks, top
ping the seed stalks, which will cause it to
branch and to bear heavily.
Our best Western soils will produce from
600 to LOO pounds per acre, which, at the
present prices, you will perceive will remu-
neratc the farmer handsomely-pcrhaps bet
ter than most other crops, particularly when
we remember that hemp is very slightly in.
furious to.the soil, as it is frequently cultiva.
ted successfully on the same ground for OF
| 10 successive years.
A vast source of profit will be derived by
our farmers who will cultivate this crop, as
from the present scarcity Of cotton, it will
doubtless be used to a large extent for cloth
| ing as well as for the many purposes fol-
which it has entered into competition as one
of the great staples Of Our country.

A WORD FOR AGRICULTURAL
FAIRS,

There were many Agricultural Societies.
both State and County, that failed to hold
their annual exhibitions last:fall This post
ponement was attributable to the occupation
of the FAIR grounds by the military of the
United States and the general war excitement
of the times. The coming Autumn, it is not
likely that camps will be as numerous, as
most of the troops have been called into the
field for active duty. The war is still being
prosecuted with no hope Of a very speedy
termination, but our people are becoming
more accustomed to it, and the fever of ex-
element has in a great measure died away.
Men 20 about their avocations with more of
the old feeling, and business is assuming its
wonted sway. Farmers who remain at home
and the wives and children Of those who
have volunteered, have settled into the dc.
termination to cultivate the soil, and to har-
vest it's products, the same as when peace
was in the land. There may be acres that
will 20 uncultiyated from scarc:t,; Of help,
that would help swell the grand total of
Western productions, were the half million
of Western troops engaged in the arts OF
peace instead of waging war. But the extra
exertion of those remaining at home, togeth-
or with the increased facility for doing farm
labor by machinery, that each year deyel-
opes, will see to it that there is not the great
falling off in the agricultural productions of
the West that might be expected among a
less active, ambitious and intelligent class OF
people, under the same depressing and un
fortunate circumstances Still, there are
manyindivduals- many neighborhoods where
the hand of war has fallen with crushing
force striking down the leading spirits :
those accustomed to take the advance in all
agricultural projects, such as Farmers Clubs,
Agricultural Societies, and the like. The
question for those remaining is how best to
chide this feeling of encouragement, this
apathy that is but too apt to settle down sp-
on families and neighborhoods. If agIicul-
tural societies have any mission it is to slim
ulate. Who shall name the good they have
done in developing stock-raising, and the
growing Of better crops? The agricultural
intelligence they have disseminated by bring
ing the farmers into communion with each
other? We are not among those who be-
leye that our fairs as conducted are accom-.
plishing all they might be made to do, neither
are we of that class who believe that their
mission as conducted is ended We do be
lcve in keeping them up, allowing them t.
undergo such changes, as the times and
growing intelligence may dctate--in keeping
them up at all events. Holding these views,
we cannot too strongly urge upon all county
societies, the importance-the necessity OF
not again allowing anything except armed
invasion of our territory. a thing not in the
least probable; prevent the holding Of their
usual annual exhibitions, and it is with great
pleasure that we notice that our feelings arr
