Ii peper describing : peri aaopAe
II Pikess Peak Lieutenant John Z. Fin
lev, United State Signal Service, says
THAI the ascent was made In April. when
the snow was the deepest Of all months
Of the year. and the Lieutenant Was 20
companied b the sergeant Of the sta
ton. The ascent: was accomplished
on mule back until zono OF deep snow
was reached, and then the animals were
taken back to the halfway house below
Into this snow they sometimes sank up
to their arm-pits and saved themselves
from plnnging deeper BY spreading out
their arms. At one time they crossed 2
frozen crust in the shape Of turtles
back, where foothold had to be cut at
every step, and whore misstep would
have sent them thousands OF feet down
the mountain. Electric storms some
times were witnessed there, when each
snowflake, charged with electricity, dis
charged spark as il touched a mules
back in its fall Electric sparks stream
ed from the finger tips Of appraised
hands. In their ascent they encounter
ed a storm OF sleet that cut their faces
so as to draw blood. Tho last Ave miles
was 4 night FOR life against wind, sfeet,
cold and rarefied air. Washington Star.

Good farming Is made up Of several
Operations All Of which working To-

some of these arekdrafning, subsoiiing,
good blowing, pulverizing the soil, rota-

viding shelter. care Of manure and con-
troll Of fields By fencing. Take. for i'm
stance, the practice Of snbsoiling. In .
graveliy or porous subsoil 1t Is not

which is adhesive or clayey in its com
position, 1t may render it more compact

subsoiling may be incomplete and in

makes.

subsoil is only broken into interrupted
burrows with the Hard unbroken earth
between them, as represented by the
cross-scction, Fig. /, where the upper
and dotted portion is the mellow or
broken soil, and the darker part below
the unbroken earth. A remedy for this
defective work, is to cut the common
pillow burrows only half foot wide,
which will break up all the hard ridges,
and reduce the whole bed of mellow soil
to state OF fine pulverization.

GEN. ALFRED Fl. TERRY.

Major General Alfred H. Terry,
who died Dec. 16 at his home in
| New Haven, Conn, was as able an
officer as there was in the United
| States army outside of the great
| triumvirate He was born in Hart
| ford, Conn, Nov. 10, 1927, was
| educa ted in the common schools and
| at the Yale law school, and began
practicing law in 1919. From 1854
to 1860 he was clerk of the superior
and supreme courts of Connecticut.
During this time he was an officer of
the state militia and a close student
of military science for which he
evinced a decided aptitude. He was
one of the earliest of the volunteers
from his state and was commissioned
ascOlonel of a regiment. He was en-
gagged in the bombardment of Fort
Pulaski, Ga, and the action of
Pocotalizo, $. c., the operat lions
Gregg, Chester Station, Drury'S Bluff,
Bermuda Hundred, Petersburg. New
market and Williamsburg Road. He
was also engaged in the capture of
Wilmington and the action at North
east Creek, n. c. His most notable
achievement was the capture of Fort
Fisher near Wilmington, after But
ler's disastrous failure. In this
action he achieved a high measure of
fame. Congress passed a special
vote of thanks and his commission
as brigadier general in the regular
army, dating from the 18th of Jan
uary, 1865, the day of his great vic
tory. was specifically given for gal
antrv and generalship" in that
action. as well as for distinguished
services during the war" A com
mission expressed to be for specific
services is always highly priced, and
the word 'generalship" is found i'll
Terry's alone among such commits
SiOnS of officers now on the active
list.
After the war Gen. Terry's taste
and fitness for military life led him
to remain in the army. He was
placed in command of the depart
ment of Dakota and his previous eX-
perience in civil life, with his tact,
discretion and integrity, made his
administration of his department
during the Indian troubles there very
successful In March, 1886, he sue
ceeded to a major generalship on the
death of Gen. Hancock.
In April 1883 he was voluntarily
retired on Account of disability. He
was never married He leaves four
