3ud well known fruit grower. The plan;

or field culture plant in rows three feel
apart and twelve inches apart in th,
rows. Following are the distances apor
Tor planting the various small fruits
recommended by MIR. Johnson.
Plant grape vines eight to sixteen fee,
apart,
Raspberries should be four feet apar'
IN mellow soil and protected from I'll,

Blaclberries should be planted four feet
apart,
Gooseberries three feet apart.
Currants three feet apart.
Use no fresh manure around the roots

HARVESTING POTATOES.
Practical Suggestions That Cannot Fail to
Prove Useful.

Practical Suggestions That Cannot Fail to
Prove Useful.
The harvesting and storing of the po.
tato crop is an important matter, hence
practical suggestions on the subject can
hardly fail to prove useful A very COM
mon mistake is the one of delaying the
harvesting of the ,tubers until too late.
The tops have been dead some weeks,
copious growth of weeds has taken their
place, the ground has become muddy with
autumn rains, and the potatoes when
thrown out are more OF less covered with
aud. They are then, muddy as they are,
thrown into the cellar or piled in heaps
out of doors, to be covered with straw
and earth as protection against the freez-
ing cold of winter, The mud which ad-
heres to them tends to increase the ten.
dency to rot, which is further hastened
by the warm temperature of the cellar
during warm autumn days.

joined the Forty-fourth Illinois Regi
ment as recruit, and about three hun
dred of us were stationed at the above
named place to guard the bridge across
the river. We were nearly all new re-
cruits and did not understand much
about the rudiments of war, but did not
see why we should not be as good sol
diers as ever shouldered musket. The

to stand guard at the bridge. 1 re-
ceived my orders and took my place to
perform my first duty as soldier. 1t
was about eight o'clock at night and
the rain was pouring down in perfect
torrents, the little river was rising about
twelve inches an hour, and rushing
down against the abutments of the
bridge with maddening speed. I paced
my beat along the west end of the
bridge, listening every moment for an
attack from the enemy. Pretty soon I
heard a rustling in the bushes short
distance from where l stood. l was
sure the enemy was advancing upon us; /;
but the rustling soon stopped and
nothing could be heard but the falling
rain and roaring of the little river,
Then 1 stood us still rs death, thinking
what should do in case of an attack.
My cap would rise up upon my head !;
! would pull it down and then look for
the enemy. 1t again advanced toward
me. 1 called out "Haltp and for a
moment everything was still as death,
but was soon heard to advance nearer.
1t being so dark I could not see, I
leveled my musket as near the spot
where the noise was heard as 1 could,

shot was the squealing Of an old SOW,

tured by the boys, and she was wan

Stonewan jackson and the Priest,

DR. j. William Jones, the gallant
Confederate veteran, was standing with
some friends on Broad Street Bridge
waiting for the procession, says the At
lanta Constitution. "I wonder" some
one asked, "if any body of troops ever
moved on time?"
Never" replied the Doctor, quietly,
II imagine, since Stonewall jackson
died"
This seemed to set the reminiscentaI
mood, and the Doctor continued:
"By the way did you ever hear the
close of the prayer made by Father Du-
bert, the brave Catholic priest who was
Chaplain of Hays brigade? 1t was in
New Orleans on big Confederate day,
and Father Dubert was praying. He
had eulogized the Confederate soldier
General Stonewall Jackson in particu-
lar, when he closed with these words:
And now, Almighty God our Father,
Thou knowest that when Thou madest
up Thy mind that the Confederacy
should be defeated in war, Thou found
it necessary to remove Thy servant,
Stonewall Jackson, before Thou couldst
accomplish Thy purpose.
