THE 6. A. r. ORDER,
The Commander OF the Illinois De-

Memorial Day Obseryances.

The Commander or the Illinois De-
par,ment Issues Instructions for
Memorial Day Observances.
The commander of the department of
Illinois G. A. r has issued the following
order for the observance of Memorial
day:
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF ILL
NoIs, GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC,
No. 81 WASHINGTON STREET. CHICAGO.
MAY General Orders No. 3.-Msy 30,
1889. will usher in the twenty-second an
niversary OF our Memorial Day; day set
apart by the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie and consecrated to the memory of our
patriotic dead. who, in dying, bequeathed
to us the priceless heritage of country
saved from disruption, flag unsullied.'
and universal liberty. In grateful re-
membrance of these untold blessings their
vslor won, let us, with the flag they
loved and garlands of the choicest
flowers, decorate the silent tents of our
dead.
The various posts of the department
of Illinois are intrusted with the
patriotic duty of making all neces :
cary arrangements for the proper obs
servances of the day in their Imme-
diate localities. Post commanders should
confer with each other and arrange to
visit. either by post or proper detail, each
and every burying ground in their re-
spective counties where sleeps a Union
soldier. Let it not be said that single
grave in our patriotic state has been me-
elected. Invitations should be extended
to those kindred organizations, the
Woman's Relief corps, the Sons of Vet>
Grams and all patriotic citizens to unite
with us and take part in the ceremonies
of the day.
Post commanders are requested to
make arrangements with the clergy in
heir respective localities for memorial
service on Sunday, May 26. which each
member OF the post is expected to at
tend
1t is appropriate, and therefore urged
by the commander, that on all public oc>
caslons. 80 far as practicable. each post
shall appear in full regulation uniform.
There is growing tendency to devi

hours Of Memorial day, to one of pleas

This should be discouraged and frowned
down by every comrade and patriotic
citizen. Let us keep it a patriotic day,
so that not only the youth of the land,
but all the people may be inspired with
deeper love of our flag and country.
Thankful to kind Providence that so
many of the brave men who barred their
breasts to the fierce storm of battle are
still spared to participate in the exercises
of this day-grateful for the answering
courage and fidelity of those who yielded
their lives in the great struggle for ma
tionsl existence. or surviving the war,
have since answered the bugle call of
death-thaukful for all the blessings of
a free, happy and united country, let US,
| with minds filled with the sacred memo
ries of the past. so observe this day as
shall reflect credit on our organlzs>

Col. Baylor Granted Further Leave
OF Absence--.W Will Col. FIagler be
RecalIedS
The ARGUS some time ago spoke Of the
fact that Col. Baylor. commandsnt at
Rock Island arsenal. had asked the war
departm emit for an extension of his leave
Of absence for another six months, and
that the probabilities were that he would
not again be actively in charge of this
important post. 1t was also said that
Maj. McGinnis might be promoted in
rank and given the comm andancy.
Col. Baylor has been granted the leave
Of absence. and it is generally conceded
that he will not again assume command
of Rock Island arsenal. His health is
such that it is ub derstood it is his desire
that a change be made, though it is with
great reluctance that he realizes the ne
cessity of such change. Col. Baylor
| has many warm friends here among the
| workmen on the island, and deep
| regret is felt over his prospective
! change, and the hope is expressed
| that he may yet retain command
| 1t is also pronounced by those best quail.
| flied to know, a mistake that Maj. Nc.
Ginnis is likely to be made commandsnt
/ as there are others who rank ahead OF
him.
In view of these facts a petition hs,

erously endorsed asking for the rein

that she uld Col. Baylor be forced to per.

The Faithful Housewife

| see her in her home content,
The faithful housewife, day by day;
Her duties seem like pleasures sent,
And JOY attends her on her way.
She cares not for the loud acclaim
That goes with rank and social strife /;
Her wayside home is more than fame;
She is its queen-the faithful wife.
When summer days are soft and fair
And bird-songs fill the cottage trees,
She reaps benson as rare
AS her own gentle ministries.
Peace thrones itself upon her face,
And happiness in every look;
Her voice is full of charm and grace,
Like music of the summer brook.
In winter, when the days are cold,
And all the landscape dead and bare,
How well she keeps her little fold,
How shines the fire beside her chair.
The children go with pride to school,
The fathers toll half turns to play,
So faithful was her frugal rules,
SO tenderly she molds the day.
Let higher stations vaunt their claim,
Let others sing of rank and birth;
The faithful housewives honest fame
Is linked to the best joy on earth.

THE Dalrymples, who have become
so noted for their immense wheat
fields in northern Dakota, were asked
what they would do when the soil was
exhausted. The answer was that they
would pillow up new fields. That is the
common way in the West, and is what
is going to reduce the power of west
ern competition very soon.

Good Periodicals.

AT this season it is not uncommon for
us to be asked for advice as to what
publications devoted to farm and gar
den instruction our experience leads us
to most approve. 1t would be possible,
we suppose, for our readers to guess
this pretty closely by noting those we
most frequently quote from with APP
proval, or with friendly criticism. But
just at this season something more
specific is desired; and without wish
ing to be regarded as unfriendly to any,
we will name few of each class which
we believe will fully justify us in the
estimation of our readers who may
allow themselves to be influenced by
our judgment. In New England, the
Maine Farmer (Augusta) we have
known from our boyhood, and it GER
tainly never was better than now-per-
haps never quite so good. The Mirror
and Farmer Manchester, N. H. is
edited with marked ability and candor.
While full in all departments, it is es-
pecially strong in its horse department,
without making horse-gambling promi-
nent. The NeW England Farmer of
Boston and the Homestead of Spring
field stand unquestionably at the head
of all that is worthy of respect in
Massachusetts farm journalism. They
are doing excellent work in leading
their constituency up to effective CO.
operative efforts for agricultural inter-
ests in their broadest scope.
In New York, the Rural NeD- Yorker
needs no commentator from us. 1t is,
without question, the great illustrated
farm journal of the world. Backed by
abundant capital, noble purpose and
untiring energy, it well merits the wide
spread favor it receives. Among the
monthies of that city, the AgriculturiSt
maintains its old repute; while the
American Garden stands first in all re-
lating to It's special departments. AT
Albany, the Country Gentleman still
lives, and ills its old field well. Among
the cheaper monthlies, which are apt
to be favorites in many families, we
can name none as standing higher than
our Country Home, of New York, and
Orchard and Garden, of Little Silver,
N. j. To those who wish to keep in
formed of the condition of western
agriculture, the Prairie Farmer of
Chicago and the Rural World of st.
Louis will be found among the ablest
and most complete.

STABLE STANDARDS UNsTABLE.-It
is very truly said by an exchange
that ait is customary to speak of
manure from the stable or barn
yard as the standard, and many
good farmers say if they could get
plenty of that they would use no other.
But there is great variation in stable
manure. 1t generally contains some
thing of everything that the plant
needs; but the fact that with it grain
grows enormous yields of straw, with
deficient heads, shows that it sometimes
lacks in the mineral element most es-
sential to successful production of
grain. This is very apt to be the case
where grain or milk have been sold
from the farm for long series of years,
and only straw and hay used as food
for stock. Clover hay makes rich
manure alone; other hay needs grain
fed with it. -
