Reath Of q Disting uished Confeder.
ate General.

Yesterday, DR.. R. w. Hill, of this
place, received telegram conveying the
sad information that his father, Lieuten-
ant General D. II. Hill, died at Charlotte,
N. c., on the oath inst. At the time of
his death he was President of the Georgia
State University, at Milledgeville, Ga,
and was man we'll advanced in years.
We clip the following facts in regard to
him from an eastern paper:
General d. II. Hill graduated at West
Point in 1912 in a claes containing
Generals Longstreet, A. P. Stewart, r.
H. Anderson, Van Dorm, G. w. Smith,
Rosecrans, Pope, Sykes and McAlmont.
He was in nearly every battle under
both Scott and Tyler in the Mexican
war. He went out Lieutenant; was
brevetted Captain for gallant conduct at
vetted Major for gallant conduct at
the First North Carolina Regiment
in the Confederate service. He was in
the battles of Bethel, around Richmond
in 1862, South Mountain, Antietam,
Fredericksburg. Chicamaugs, Peters
burg, Gold Harbor and Bentonville. He
was made Brigadier- General after the
battle of Bethel, and Major General be-
fore the battle Of Richmond, and Lieu
tenant. General before the battle of Chic
amauga. He was professor of mathe-
matics in Washington College, Vir-
ginia, for six years before the war. Held
the same position for five years at Dav-
idson College, North Carolina. Was
President of the North Carolina Military
Institute at Charlotte for two years.
In 1877 he was made President of the
Arkansas Industrial University, posi-.
ton he held until 1884.
The sympathy of this community will
be extended to DR.. Hill, in his bereave-
ment.-[San Pedro Pilot, September Goth

1t Asks That Its Old Franchise be
Returned.
1t will be remembered that two weeks
ago the Council granted the Cahuenga
Valley railroad franchise for a steam
railroad in consideration that it would
surrender it's franchise for its road on
Temple and Diamond streets. The com.
pany not only did this, but it decided ite
entire franchise to the city, and on Mon.
day last Mayor Hazard vetoed the new
franchise and the Council sustained the
veto, but did not return to the road its
first franchise. Mr.. Mclaughlin, Presi-
dent of the road, now comes into the
Council and asks that the first franchise
be restored to him, and states that he has
rescinded his deed to the city, as he re-
ceived no consideration for it. He says
that he expended some $40, 900 on the
franchise, and that it is worth $25, 900 to
him,

American Agriculturist says: Ryesown
last fall gives the first cutting Of green
fodder this spring, and should give a Sec
ond cutting later. Oats and peas should
be sown early as a soiling crop. When
the weather is warm enough fodder corn
is sown almost to the exclusion of every
thing else as soiling crop.
Horse dentistry is now recognized as
an important branch Of veterinary prac-
tice.
A good plan when building barb wire
fences is to have half the posts set with
the required wires on the outside Of the
field and the other posts on the inside Of
the Enclosure, thus having alternate posts
on either side of the wires. This method
serves to prevent the wires being pushed
off from either side.
Few root crops are more profitable
than carrots They are an excellent
food for horses and colts, and they stim-
ulate the flow Of milk in COWS.
Sugar beets make excellent feed for
COWS for either milk or cream.

Raising Ducks.

1t Is mistake to suppose that ducks
cannot be raised without an unlimited
sheet of water. It Is true the birds do
better, and can be more advantageously
raised by having q stream near by.
But, says Poultry Monthly, 1t is also
true that our large and improved ducks,
such as Rouen, Pekin, Aylesbury or
Cayuga, can get along nicely with a
pond or large bathing place, If regularly
supplied from well or spring. OF
course, it is best to restrict ducklings
from pond until they are four or Ave
weeks old, for by this time they will have
acquired strength, hardness, endurance
and; feathering to "paddle their own
canoe" on small and shallow sheet Of
water which is free from minls, musk
rats and turtles. Ducks want water, but
a pond or small creek will suffice for all
purposes.
There is no absolute necessity of hay
ing expensive and elaborate houses for
poultry, for very cheap and inexpensive
ones will answer equally as well, provid-
ed they are commodious, comfortable
and kept clean, free from filth, bad
odors, etc. In fact, more choice fowls
come from just such establishments as
the latter than from those on which all
the care, pains and money are expended
on appearances" and scarcely any on
the poultry themselves, except the origi-
nal outlay for the breeding stock, which
may or may not have been large ,

Packing Butter for Sale.

How or in what style butter should be
packed to obtain the highest price de-
ponds so much on the requirements of
the market when it is to be offered that
no one direction that could be given
would apply in all cases. Shipping but
ter in rolls, once quite common, is now
almost wholly superseded, at least in
eastern markets, by butter packed in
firkins, tubs or pals. For grocers' retail
use tubs of about fifty pounds are popu-
lar sizes, and smaller packages, ranging
from ten pounds up, solid packed, being
convenient sizes to be sold to families
and hotels, are desirable and sell well.
The material for butter packages should
be hard woods of varieties that will not
impart any flavor to the butter, white
oak being among the most common.
Persons. however, who market their own
butter in small towns where they have a
local reputation can usually get better
prices for nicely made rolls, or butter
stamped in pounds, than when it is
packed down in larger quantities, as it is
more easily tested in the former case
and is presumed not to have been made
SO long.

The Pennsylvania farmers are dis.
Outraged because cattle feelings is
proving more of failure every gear.
Thousands Of cattle have been fed
over the winter and in the spring
shipped to the city markets, thus
giving the farmers fair price for
their corn and the value of their
straw turned into manure, which
with Inning has been there main fer.
tillzer. But this spring cattle do not
bring more than what they paid for
them in the fall, and they have little
or nothing for labor or feed. The
West is a great cattle raising conn
try, as 1t is of wheat and corn, and
eastern farmers can not compete
with the West, which has the advan.
tage OF long hauls on the railroads
aud reaches the markets at as low
rates as the Eastern producer can.

When to Plant Forest Tree Seeds.

The best time is in the fall, before the
seeds have dried, and the best place for
planting them is where they are to stand
when grown, as they can be thinned out
if too thick. They may also be put into
clean, moist sand, and the sand be kept
in damp place, or, what will be very
good plan, bury the sand in the ground
a few inches through the winter
and dig up and plant in the spring.
Maple seeds should be gathered as soon
as ripe and may be preserved in sand in
the same manner and be sown with the
sand in the spring. The secret for keep
ing such seeds is to keep them moist. Ii
they become dried they will not grow.
When planted. only very slight cover
ing is required, varying according to the
size of the seeds sown. The Ishallow
covering is one of the objections to plant
ing in the fall, as they may be carried off
by small animals before they terminate.

An Authority on Butter Color.

Hoard's Dairyman says: Although we
do not say dispense with all butter color
for it is a harmless way to please the
eye if good color is properly admixed-
yet we hold up both hands and lift our
voice loud for coloring the butter all that
it judiciously can. be through the feed
and breed of the COW. We do this not
so much for the sake of the color in tho
butter thus impaired as we do because
we know that cash as well as color comes
through the use of well bred cows most
generously fed. If we get the butter
colored that way it will come garnished
all over with gold, more profitably pro-
duced than most Of that which is dug
from the mines.

In other words, it pays nearly thirty

enable it to pay more. These are
