To produce a good crop, millet needs
rich land made very fine. Its roots are
surface feeders, and will not so down like
corn roots, therefore the land should be
made mellow and compact before sowing
the seeds, and then not use over forty
eight pounds to the acre, sown broadcast
and covered very lightly. 1t leaves the
land in the finest possible condition for -
crop Of wheat. Golden millet should not
be Sown until the first week in June, and
it will then he ready TO cut in seventy
five days. Cut as soon as the heads are
all well-shown and developed-i. e.-the
seeds just going into the milk. Then the
crop does not exhaust the land, as it does
when it is allowed to stand and mature
the seed. The seeds when maturet arc
very hard, and are not digestible (; so Is

May is q critical month with farm AMI
mails. They are4 over great part Of the
country, going ''fyom hay to grass" and
are liable to he atIecsed by the debilitat-
ing influence Of the succulent and Loosen,
ing feed. The only way to prevent evil
effects is to give hay and grain at morn
ing and evening at first, continuing the
morning ration OF hay longer than that
Of the evening, until the grass gradually
gains in nutritive value and the animals
become accustomed to it. This is equal
ly important for horses, COWS and sheep.
Horses that are not put to hard work are
not usually harmed by grass the clear
ing out does them good. Brood mares,
however, need more substantial feed.
Work horses, or oxen should also have
hay daily, but if the hay is low and due
consideration for the future prevents buy
ing, they must have grain, which is best

straw. Fresh cows generally do very
well if they calve within month after
being turned to grass. There will be lit

Training Peach Trees.

It is impracticahle to train peach hor-
izontally-the growth will not take that
direction, but will persist in sprouting
upward, and from as near the collar as
possible. The most assiduous pinching
will not snllice to overcome this stubborn
refusal. If we wish to grow a tree so
that it can be laid down on the soil suY-
face for winter. we must compromise and
train it along rod or wire stretched at an
angle Of about forty-fve degrees.
Whenever an attempt is made to push
out a strong shoot, a pinch stops it as
soon as four leaves have formed. Trees
so trained soon become amenable, and
pinching is not very often requisite. It
ust be given, however, Us soon as need
ed, for if young leaves are removed, the
trees will resent the injury by fresh at
tempts to break away. and there will be
risk of the wood not fully ripening.
They may be laid down in November, as
soon as the leaves fall, but should not he
covered until severe weather threatens,
with no snow to protect them. Next to
snow, evergreen brush is best.

While this is day Of memory, it is al

rive inspiration for the future. The lives

have not only a history to cherish, but q
mission to perform. The sunlight o!
peace falls in soft radiance to-day on the

of cheering brightness upon the future OF
our country. This occasion is not only
the resting place Of memory, but the
starting point Of renewed energy. Let MS
then look out from these hlllowcd aSsoci-
ations of the past, and pledge ourselves
to the high and urgent demands OF life.
From these scenes Of fond recolle ctiOns,

a great national era. In the memories of

and achievements Of the future, let rs be

on the shores OF this Western world the
grandest triumphs Of humanity arc 70 be
won. What an inctement this should Eo
to us to bury all the bitter wranglinGs Of
the past, ard to stand shoulder to ShOul-
der in our maintenance and preservation
of reunited country! While we walk
amid these tombs and scatter flowers up
on the graves Of our heroic slain, let us
not forget the claims of the living and OF
posterity. The highest hopes Of our coun-
try and OF the world depend upon the
preservation of our National Union. l
am persuaded that the Southern people
are too proud and honorable ever to break
the parole Of AppomattoN. In keeping
it, they will be marching in line, not only
with the current of history. but with the
spirit of these heroes, who died for what
they believed to lie the integrity of our
government.
Never forget, my friends, that the late
war was strife between the States, and
not between the States and tho Union.
"The Union never made war upon the
South" Party passion destroyed the
very, domestic tranquility which 1t
was Intended "to insure;" and that pow
er which is provided for the ''conmUn
defense" was arraycd by sectional bitter
ness against the several and separate di-
visions of our country. Lot US, then, to-
day plight our faith anew "to preserve,
protect and defend" the political covenant
made by our fathers, which has safely led
this people through the wanderngs and
vicssitudes of century, and now as
sures to us and our posterty the consun-

Management of Cows.

To be profitable, cows must be we'll Ia
ken care Of by being comfortably shelter
cd and well fed. For, however good cows
may be, stingy feeding and shiftless man
agement will soon run down the stock
and dissipate all hopes of profit. What
is worth doing is worth doing well, and
what is worth havingis worth taking care
OF. There is no worse economy than neg
lect of and indifference to the comfort and
health Of animals from which we expect
profitable produce. 10 use an old farm
er's phrase, ''If you cheat the ground tho
ground will cheat you" Care and atten-
ton may secure all we desire, while neg
lect will make void all advantages the
best facilities can give. Let us suppose
the dairyman provided with good stock
of COWS, the next point is to bestow prop
or treatment, and to feed them we'll. No
dairyman can afford to do otherwise.
Look at it. A COW is wanted to give milk
and good milk. She cannot make It out
Of nothing. The more milk we want,
the more material must be supplied to
make it of. A cow must never receive
harsh treatment Of any sort, .sRSt be

Condition OF Farm Animals.

animals show an increase of the prevalence Of
hog cholera, and loss OF six millions Of swine
Of sheep are reported at seven per cent: Of
cattle ut four per cent. The losses of horse.
are small, amounting to 7-l0ths of one per
cent. The losses of cattle are heaviest in
four to eight per cent, while in the farm re.
gions, where shelter is provided, the loss is
only two per cent. This shows the impor-.
tance, evenin the South, Of proper shelter for
live stock during the cold months.
