The Appomattox Surrender.

Brigadier General NJ. r. Morgan, after
reading the resolutions of Colonel
Charles Marshall, chief of General Lees
staff of the surrender at Appomattox,
writes
was present. as an officer of General
Grants staff, at the meeting at which the
terms of surrender were agreed upon,
and find Colonel Marshall's account the
most accurate have yet seen published.
General Grant was dressed, as to uniform,
as he had been for months past. He was
accompanied by the members of his
staff all of whom were introduced to
General Lee by General Seth Williams,
who had been Lees adjutant when the
latter was superintendent of the military
academy at West Point. The members
of General Grants staff remained in the
room after having been introduced. In
the course of the proceedings General
Lee asked General Grant to have his
army fed, and the latter turned to me
(his chief commssary) and instructed me
to feed General Lees army in the man
ner related in the accompanying copy of
letter written by me April 25, 1879, to
General Badeau:
HEADQUARTERS DEPT. OF DAKOTA,
OFFICE CHIEF Com. OF SUBSISTENCE,
ST. PAUL, Mimi, April %, 1879
DEAR BADEAU: Your favor of April was
received Yesterday. l remember the matter
you allude to in your letter very well. After
the terms for the surrender of Lees army had
been arranged april O. 1868 General Lee
asked General Grant to have rations issued
to his army. General Grant turning to me,
said: Colonel feed General Lees army |
asked: Glow many men have they" Cen
Grant ranentpI
General Lee. General Lee went into an eX-
PLANTATION to show why he could not tell the
number of his men. He said: " have not a
complete organization in my army. y
commissioned officers. The books are lost. "
When he got thus far l said, suggestively
"Say %, 900 men," General Lee said: - Yes
25,000n l went from the room at once, and
meeting Colonel NJ. p. Small, chief commits
sary of General Ord's army, asked him if he
could spare three days rations q think it was
three days. of beef, salt and bread for the
army of Northern Virginia, numbering o.,
600 men. He said: 81 guess l cam | was
not at all certain that he could do it, because
we had been having some lively marching
and doubted if the provision trains and hero
were up with the troops. But Small was
equal to the emergency, and | told him to is
sue the rations. You remember we started
back to City Point the afternoon OF the neXt
day., April 10, and did not take
of men constituting the army OF
Northern Virginia. / have since learned
that the number of men of that army paroleC
at that time, officers and men, was &C. ll5
divided as follows: Cavalry corps, officers

men ., 797; Longstreet's corps, officers l,527

$685.; totals, officers 2, 65l, IN II p, AGA. YOU
may be sure that this is correct.

FARMERS COLUMN.
How to Raise Chickens,

There are so many different breeds of
fowls that there is certsinly an opportunity
for all lovers of poultry to suit their own
fancy. Yet it is difficult for farmer to get
Just the kind that he wants. He desires
flock of hens that will lay plenty of eggs,
sit all summer, or do too much running
over She grain fields. We haye found the
Leghorns excellent layers, but they forage
too much, go to the back end Of the farm TO
scratch up the corn, and fly to the highest
part Of the barn to get on the wheat NOW
or grain stacks. Most str ins OF Brahmas
are intolerable sitters. We haye finally
made choice Of the Plymouth Rocks for a
farm breed, although in some respects they
may be surpassed by others. The fowls
should be provided with a building for
their exclusive use. With well. planned
poultry house the care Of fowls is lessened,
and the annoyance of haying them scratch
ing everywhere is prevented, Considering
the value OF good flock of chickens, the
profit in keeping them well and the fertliz-
ing qualities Of the manure, 1t is strange
that the fowls should be neglected as they
are on many farms. The horse and cow
stables are cleaned every day, why should
not the hen house? Keep their house clean
aud odorless, if you would be successful
with fowls. Have a good Goor under the
roost, which can be scraped clean every
day. After cleaning sprinkle sawdust over
the floor, White wash the inside Of the
building frequently, and keep the air pure.
Keep lice away by placing tobacco leaves
in the nest Of the sitting hen. Pour
small quantity Of kerosene along the roost
ing poles. II you do all this and cannot
kill tho lice, then kill the hensl Iu sum.
mer the chickens should have the run Of a
oomy,grassy yard, they cannot be allowed
at large on the farm. In winter feed
plenty of green food, such as cabbage
leaves, cto. Summer and winter give the
hens milk, sourmlk or buttermlk aud the
eggs will be lentiful. Have on arrange
mant for watering, so that the young chick
will not be tempted to drown themselves
in the water trough where the horses
drink.--Am. 1qricu'tmiSt.

swine-Roising and Pork-Making.


Good feeding qualities and early maturity
are the necessary traits in the nature Of a
good pig. The most profitable pig runs in
the orchard, eats fallen iruit during the
summer, and reaches a good weight by
carly winter, when it should be killed
The young pigs should come during
March and April, and be fed all they will
eat through the summer. During moderate
tall weather, most Of the corn led at that
time goes to the making OF salable pork
while in cold weather, much OF the feed is
used in keeping up the animal heat, 1t is
then plain enough that a pound Of pork
eau be made more cheapy during early
fall than in winter. Pork proiucts-af
lard, sausage, etc, as general rule, bring
better prices IN the fall than they do later
There may sometimes occur a necessity ior
late feeding, when it may be done profit
ably enough. Last autumn, the corn in
many sections was badly injured by the
frost, 50 that where there were large fields
In corn there often were large quantities oi
soft, uns Glable corn. Cattle were nigh in
price, and hogs low, because many had not
corn enough TO latten them. Those who
had enough poor corn to carry their hogs
through until after New Years realized
the high midwinter prices for their pork,
and made winter feeding pay. Where
winter feeding is attempting, the hogs
should be provided with good warm pens
Ordinary pens may be made quite COM
Portable for hogs by lining them on the
inside of the studding, SO as to leave a
space with sawdust or wheat straw and the
wind cannot get through it.-AH, Agg'icai-
