from my lungs as much as a pint of yellow Offensive

OF AN ACRE

The following produce of a single acre
of ground, the truth of which is vouched
for, will give an idea of the capacity of
land in the hands of one who thoroughly
understands how to bring it forth. The
acre here referred to is situated where the
soil Is by no means naturally ~afluent. On
one acre, within sight of Trinity Church
steeple, New York, but in Jersey, lives a
man we will call John Smith. Johns
neat cottage and acre cost him, eight years
ago, $1,000, and is now worth $4,000. In
the spring of 1864 he planted Il, Early
Wakefield cabbage plants, which by the
first week in July were sold in the New
York market, at eight dollars per hundred.
for $3.50. Between the rows of cabbages
were planted, at the same time. $1,000

cleared off by July 18th, the ground be-
ing thoroughly plowed, narrowed, and
planted with 10000 celery plants, which
were sold before Christmas of the same
year at So per 100, for $1,000, making the
total receipts 5 ,430. His expenses were:
Manure, $3.50; keep of horse, $500; inter-
est on $1,000, 1920; hired labor, 800: in
cidental outlay, 800; amounting in all to
$l.370, which, deducted from the receipts,
gave him the net profit of 81, 06O. John,

soIIING. ms

Much has been written about the adj
vantages of soiling cattle, particularly
sowing corn for feeding cows IN summer,
when pastures become short. DR.. Lyman
s.. Wright, Whiteborough. N, Y, has
given some account as to the benefit of
this system, which is worth the attention
of ahfarmers whose pastures are1lable to
fail IN times of drouths
He kept thirty COWS on twenty acres
of ground. OF this he devoted to pas
turage, fifteen acres to clover, three
acres rye, half an acre; oats, half an.
acre sowed corn, one acre. The rye is
put In the previous season, by the last of
August or first of September, and is
therefore ready to be cut early in the sea-
son following. By the time this is used
up, the clover will be large enough to be
used, and after that the oats, which
are owed early in April. The corn fod-
der comes last, and different parts of this
acre of land are sowed with the corn so
as to have a succession of food, the earli-.
est corn being put in by the 9th of May.
In this way the twenty acres were amply
sufficient to keep the COWS IN food until
some time in October, when they were
turned into the after-grass. The doctor
is of the opinion that the COWS do as well,
Ii not better, both as to health and yield
of milk, than they would at pasture, and
that when land is valuable and arabic, or
NOaP0C4- 10 AA1S sySICmS II CdA NC OmplOJOQ
with profit. The cows were generally fed
by six o'clock In the morning, and re-
manned at their feed about three hours,
when they were turned into the pasture,
and at 3 o'clock p. m. they were brought
mp and received their afternoons meal
To cut the feed and take charge of the
COWS, it takes one man about half his
time.
ut may be observed here that it usually
takes two or three acres to pasture a COW,
while by the system adopted as described
above, two-thirds only of an acre suffice.
The system of green-soiling isnot general
ly understood, nor are its advantages APP
preeiated by the dairy farmer. All ex-
~periments of this kind are valuable, and
are well worthy of thought and investiga-
ton, whether the smaller farms, under
this system, may not be enabled to keep
quite as much stock, realizing more profit
annually than farms of double and treble
their size under the ordinary methods of
culture"

BR,GAD1EI~ GENERAL STKAH{.-Of this
gallant and distinguished officer, who
fell at the batte of Franklin, OF Harpeth
Creek, Tennessee, the ConJederacy has
received tho following concise history
from prominent citizen of Memphis
who was intimately acquainted with him:
Br;gadier- General Strahl was born in
the State of Pennsylvania, and was of
German descent Subsequently he re-
moved to Illinois, and from thence to
West Tennessee, where, at the outbreak
ing Of the war, he was engaged in teach
ing a school, At that time, and for some
time previous, he was captain Of vo-
luntecr company. This company (he still
captain of it, attached itself to the Fourth
Tennessee regiment at it's organization
at Germantown. In the organization Of
that regiment {Fourth Tcnnessee) he was
| elected lieutenant--colonel,i in which ca
pacity he faithfully and gallantIysserved
through General Polk's campaign in Ken
lucky, and commanded his regiment at
the memorable battle of Shiloh.
| al tne Ic-OTShIiAd.iou VI Iuc htAiy
Of the West at Corinth, he was chosen
colonel of the regiment, which he sue
cessfully commanded at the battles Of
Perryyille and Murfreesboro'. Receiv-
ing his commission as brigadier- general,
which he won by hard fighting and mcri-
torious conduct, he commanded his bri-
gade at the battles of Chickamauga and
Missionary Ridge, in which latter en-
gagemcnt he was severely wouudcd.'

effect, which it will not do to scout at
when we remember how the rebels scared
our regiments often in the beginning Of
the war with their mere yelling.
Again, the rebel cavalry has become
a mongrel of organization-half cavalry,
half lnfantry-which performs well the
functions OF neither. Instead Of the light
carblne used by our men, they carry the
long, heavy Enfield or Springfield rifle
OF the infantry. They arc more properly
mounted infantry using tlicn nc:ses Only
to transport them 10 the battle GROUND,
but aismouEtnng 10 fight. Bearing two
characters, they are at homc and Conf
dent in neither one Their :evolVers give
them 10 superiority Til they come 70
close quarters, and then they are over
| matched by the quick ana deadly sabre.
1.-The last, and By far ttlc most efficient,
cause OF tla Superiority Of .otx cavalry
IS !ouni: IN the rae, that III Ct Of tElo rebels
rldc their private horses. Contrary TO
the received, popular opinion, this prac-
tee is a source, not Of strength, but Of
weakness. There is 40 more potent
| relaxcr Of discipline than to allow men
TO use their own horses Instead Of those
| furnished by tie Government. Il viii
insure a sleek, colnoly and graceful body
OF horses but it VIII just as certainly
produce d regiment of horse jockeys aid
! traders, whose main business is, not to
tight, but to keep fine horses. When
the day Of battle comes, the men seek
not so much to beat the enemy as to save
their horses. The Government never
receives amy account of captured horses !;
| they are all kept by the officers and hired
to the men at such rates as are profitable
In short, the result Of the system is to
secure splendid horses and horse fanciers,
but very poor cavalrymen."

is true it does SO, but in no one thing, We
tl,ink, so perfectly as in the shaking
heart, the despair, the gloom, which, in
moments of peril, take hold upon the
minds OF men engaged in any great en-
tcrrrise or revolution. In reading the

rod of giving away and gloom In all OF
them. and in none SO much as among
those contending for right against pow

have terminated the few notable rcvolts
of history are to be ascribed to the in
domitable will and endurance of the tried
generals and soldiers who have rsked
their all on the result, and not to the citi-
zens at home, however patriotic the lat

citizens, unaccustomed to the private ms
