Atchison Globe: A large number of old
soldiers met at the old i brary Hall last
evening to perfect the arrangement al
ready begun to obtain a charter for an
other Grand Army Post in this city. For
ty-fOur names were put on the roll as
charter members. The following officers
were elected: David Baker, Commander
II. G. Wheeler, Senior Vice Commander;

understand, the first time in the history
of the order that merit in the ranks has

Fort Scott Monitor: A incident con
nected with the drum corps drill at Min
neapOlis is worthy of mention. There
were nine drum corps mustered in at
the encampment. The drill was first set
for Thursday at 4 o'clock p. m, and it
fell to the lot Of w. II. Lyttle Post Drum
Corps to make the first exhibition of
themselves, and orders were so issued
But for some reason the hour of drill
was changed to Friday, but our boys did
not receive the countermand in time
and promptly appeared on the parade
ground at the hour set, and went through
a series of maneuvers before discovering
their mistake. Some of the other corps
were spectators of the drill, and after
witnessing the partial exhibition made,
concluded that they had no show with
the Fort Scott boys and four corps did
not enter the contest the next day.
Atchison Champion: Our esteemed
friend, Col. J. S. Gearhart, announces
that after several years waiting
and much correspondence he has
finally secured a recognition Of his
claim under the arrears of pension
act for back pension to the amount Of
SIS, 280 and the future allowance during
the balance of his life Of $40 per month.
The old veteran served in the 8th Hi
nOis cavalry during the entire war, and
during the service contracted disease that
has incapacitated him from work many
years. Since his original application for
the arrears he begins to feel the effects
Of wounds received in battle, and is ad-
vised by the Commissioner of Pensions
at Washington that if he can bring the
necessary medical proof a further allow
ance of at least IS and from that sum to
$50 additional will be made him. This
claim will probably be fled in the near
future. The cash arrears which he drew
from Pension Agent Adams, of Topeka,
recently, comes just in the nick of time,
and properly invested the annual inter
est and pension, together with what the
Colonel derives from former savings, will
keep the wolf from the door.

Recuperating &c soiI.

Sir John Bennett Lawes has written
chapter for the new edition Of Harris
Talks on Manure in Restoring Fertility
to the Soil" a subject that interests all
our farmers who do not cultivate virgin
soil. It is a most valuable contribution,
and shows how science may be applied
with a view to dollars and cents. A rel
alive of Mr.. LaWes, having several thou
sand acres of exceedingly poor and
WORKOUT land, consulted him as to the
best methods Of treating it. The growth
of crops with the aid Of artifcial manures
is discussed, and it is clearly shown why
this would not be profitable on such
poor land. The plan decided upon was
to make the production of meat the basis
of renovotiOn; to stop all tillage and en-
deaver to get the soil into pasturage by
giving it the plant food to enable 1t to
grow good grasses. A flock OF sheep was
to be allowed to run over the land dur
ing the day and to be folded there every
night, and to be fed one pound each Of
cOttOnseed cake. The use Of sheep IN
renoVating land is not new to our farm
ers, and has often been advocated in
these pages, but the fact has rarely been
presented in so systematic a manner
Sheep in flocks of 100, inclosed by NOV
able fences or hurdles, upon a space of
20 by % yards, and the folds moved
daily, would In ten days cover an acre
each, and the manure of 100 pounds of
the cake would be well distributed over
that amount of land This quantity of
manure contains n pounds Of nitrogen,
IS pounds of phosphate of lime and 30
pounds of potash. These fertilizers can
not be purchased In any artificial ma
nure at so cheap a rate, since the in
crease in the weight of the sheep fed IN
this manner goes far to Offset their orig
inal cost in the cottOnseed cake.

A Fish Acrobat.

One warm afternoon stroller COM
ing to the borders of small pond,
threw himself down beside little tree
that leaned over the water, so that its
lowest branches were but a few feet
above the surface. While reclining in
the shade, and idly watching the leaves
that fell upon the water and sailed
away, the stroller suddenly heard a
chirping overhead, and looking up saw
on a long limb two small sparrows.
Near them, futtering in the air, rising.
falling, and now alighting beside them,
was the mother-bird She was evident
ly engaged in giving the fedeelines
their first lesson in flying But the
Young birds could not be induced to
leave their support; they merely raised
their little wings and followed their
mother out from the tree by edcino
along side by side on the limb. AS she
renewed her efforts, the faster they
went, until finally they were out on the
very tip of the branch overhanoino the
water which reflected their every move
ment.
For some time these motions of the
mother and young were kept up, and
for he suddenly became aware that one
of the birds had disappeared, that
great splash had occurred under the
limb, and that the motherhood had
changed her cries to those of alarm.
But it was evident from the mother
birds actions that the little bird had
not flown away. The stroller con-
cluded that it had fallen into the water,
and he rose to see if he could recover
it, when there shot up from the water
long, slender fish, that quickly
darted through the air and snatched
the remaining bird from the limb. fall
ing back into the pond with a splash
and whisk of its tail This startling
leap astonished the observer. but it also
fully explained to him the disappear
ance of the other young bird.
The pike was evidently out hunting,
and spying the birds upon the limb, it
had carefully measured the distance,
and by two vigorous jumps had cap
tured them both. The mother-pird
was both grieved and dazed by the sud-
den calamity that had befallen the
dedgelings. and perhaps fearing a SIM
liar fate for herself, she soon few away.

RYE AS A FORAGE CROP.

Winter pasturage can be obtained in
no better way than by sowing rye in a
field of growing corn between the mid
die of August and the first of Septem-
Der. 1t may be sown broadcast and
covered with light harrow or cultiva-
tor, such as is often used for working
corn, or it may be put in with one
horse seed drill. 1t will be several in
ches high and Will completely cover
the ground by the time the corn is ripe
enough to harvest. Ii the corn is husked
on the stalks or the ears are picked off
and husked in the barn, the stalks with
their leaves will protect the rye all
winter. Stock turned into the field af-
ter the corn is husked will find an
abundance of both green and dry food.
The rye will furnish the first and the
corn leaves the last. If the winter is
an open one cattle can obtain bite of
green food till grass appears in the
spring. The rye will commence grow
ing as soon as the frost leaves the soil,
and will afford the first green food.
Early in the spring the corn stalks
should be cut close to the ground. At
ter atfording excellent pasturage in
edIly SpllHS, LHe rye duu COIu StdlhS
can be turned under and the ground
planted in corn again. This plan of
securing green food during the winter
is quite Largely practiced in the states
south of the Ohio river, with the best
results, and it is deserving of trial in
many other sections of the country.
The cost of the seed is trifling and the
labor attending the seeding very small.
The value of the rye that is turned I'M
der is considerable in keeping up the
fertility of the soil. Animals are cheap
ly kept and they thrive we'll in field
where there is both green and dry food.
Their droppings are deposited where
they are wanted SO that the labor of
handling manure is saved. Poultry
keepers will find q rye field very bene-
fetal in parts of the country where the
snowfall is light.
