Gen. Noyes- Testimony of Gen. j.
w. Sprague.

The following letter from Gen. SPRAGUE, who
was formerly captain to the gallant 7th Ohio
Infantry, from Clevela nd, and with whom we
served an apprentice in Salisbury prison, will
abundAntly refute the infamous charges of cow
arlce circulated by the Democratic press
against Gen. MOVES. 1t is not difficult to get
sufficient testimony to establish Gen. SPRAGuE's
gallantry, and his army association with Gen.
MOVES should establish his testimony to the lat
ter's bravery and personal worth beyond ques-
tion:
KALYA, ". T., June %, 1871.

cOmplished and gallant soldier.
On the 4th Of July, 1904 lie with his regiment
the Thirty Ninth Ohio, charged and carried the
enemy's works at Ruif's Mills, near Atlanta,
Ga. It was spenddly done. Gen. Noyes tell
wounded Just as his regiment was mounting the
enemy's works. | saw him moment after where

SALT FOR OATs.-At meeting of the
Farmers Institute of Eastern Pennsyl-
vanla recently, P. Morris exhibited a
sample of oats grown by H. IngersoIl.
of the Philadelphia Society for Promo
ting Agriculture. This was of extraor-
binary size and early maturity, produc-
ed by the application of six bushels of
salt to the acre. The stalks were mncb
larger than usually seen, the leaves
broader, and in every way superior to
other samples exhibited. Mr.. Ingersou
stated that the advanced condition of his
oats, as well as the unusual size of the
stalks, was owing to the fact that !.
sowed broadcast upon the field six BIZ 81
els of salt to the acre after sowip -.
oats. A large quantity of salt conIa H.
used, but never greater than fc,rtv b,sh
els. Salt, to be effcatious on oats wba..
or corn, should be put on sandy so;l
and not on stiff clay lands Mr.. Inoe,
soil had been using salt for a number %
years. and found that not only the s,rai,
crops were benefited, bu. the after aro,,
clover. .

own A Home.

Next in importance to every honest
married mans desire to earn liveli-
hood for himself and family, is or should
be that of possessing home of his own.
II is more than a desire, it is sacred
duty. Every family man assumes the
performance Of this duty from the mo-
ment he shoulders the responsibility of
raising family. With good wife it is
fond desire, hope cherished through
all cares, troubles, and vicissitudes of
life, dragged out as a tenant in tenement
houses. The hope Of some day occupy
ing ga home of our own" has eneour-
aged many struggling wife and moth
err in tightening burdens attendant upon
a life of continual moving from one house
to another. The anticipated pleasure of
cultivating a little flower garden of her
own, of preserving fruit raised by herself,
in short, Of doing thousand different
things according to her own ideas, and
which can only be done on your own
property, are the great incentives that
move wives to save money. How many
unfortunate business men have averted
an overthrow by means Of a little ''rainy
day" fund, saved by wives actuated by
the desire of some day owning "a home
of our own" Very seldom, indeed is it
the wife's fault that this great hope and
dream of her life is not accomplished,
There is nothing easier under the sun,
though millions of things are sooner ac-
complished, than for family man to OBJ
tain home of his own. Let him make
it rule and live up to it, to lay aside
something, be it ever so little, from his
monthly income. With the present in
Vulnerable chances of obtaining high
rate of interest for the same from the
saving banks of the country, every man
so disposed to raise sum, which shall
be the nucleus for the formation Of pur-
chasing or building fund, has powerful,
assistants. There is no reason why every
one, be he merchant or mechanic, profess
sional or laboring man, if he is judicious
and economical, and rejoices in the pro-
prietorship of good wife, should not
sooner or later own his own home
Think of it we chronic movers, those of
We who have paid rent enough during
your married experiences, to buy two or
three homes We who have spent enough
of your hard earnings in improving your
landlords property to buy small lot
Of ground; We that have worn out your
furniture and hacked your carpets to
pieces in moving from house to house,
ponder over your long and sad expert
ence, make wise resolutions, and carry
them out to become the proprietor of
habitation of your own and when 1t is
accomplished the great pleasn-ss Won
will realize will infuse new life into Won
your chances for future prosperity will
be doubled, and you will CINE to the
conclusion that the first step to be taken
to secure happiness is to own home.

An old gent is walking in his garden,
presently the mlkman comes along, out
side the high garden wall, and gives his

make out just what is wanted so he puts
his ear trumpet in place, and elevating

Early Rose Potato.

Five years ago the stock of this pota-
to consisted of small quantity in the
hands of the original producer. There
was not enough Of them to make theva-
riety a marketable community. Since
that time to the present the Early Rose
has been readily working itself into pub
lie favor, until this season, after a lapse
of only i've years, it is probably more
widely planted through the United States
than any other kind. The markets are
over'howing with these potatoes, and
their handsome shape and clear skin
give them decided preference in the
views of buyers. We have not sufii-
cient wherein to found an estimate of
the value Of this years crop of Early
Rose but when we know that almost
every farmer in the country has patch
planted, and that ma ket gardens have
planted them very largely, we feel sure
that the aggregate value will amount to
several millions of dollars. This fact
shows the profitable nature of the bust
ness of agriculture, that four or five
years can produce so much value from
the mere replanting of single potato.
No productive industry pays better than
agriculture, when not subject to the draw
backs of ignorance or idleness, and in no
other is the workman more sure of his re-
ward Hearth and Home.
