"For Gods sake, dear Harry, come TO
me at once. Brother Frank was capt
ured by your people at Lebanon ten
days ago. He was charged with being a
spy, taken to Camp Dick Robinson, and
then, after trial that must have been a
judicial farce, he was sentenced to
death.

that she can not leave her bed and l

''If brother had fallen in battle, fight

his family, the blow would have been still

which he is entirely innocent.
II did not think during this struggle
to ask favor from any man wearing a
blue uniform, nor should l do SO under
any other circumstances. I am en-
boldened to appeal to you when l recall
that your family and mine were neigh
bors, since long before we were born
that you and Frank were playmates in
boyhood, and that you were classmates
at Center College when the war burst
upon us; nor can l forget that there was

on the preparation of the soil before

II Is the experience of every one, who
has put the matter to the test, that the
earlier and deeper our black lands are
plowed and pulverlzed before planting
to corn and cotton, and better will DO
the crop
This early and deep blowing serves
several good purposes. When the plow
tturning) is run deeply and truly, the
surface soil, which has been rendered
fine and fertile by previous cultivation
and decomposition Of organic matter,
is turned under and fresh soil brought
to the surface to go through the same
process.
This newly-turned up soil needs time
it into mechanical condition suita.
BILE for plant growth This is why
land plowed just before planting does
not make good crop, unless excep-
tional conditions prevail afterwards.
Early blowing has another advantage;
it is out of the way before bad weather
sets In, and the worse the weather the
better for the land.
Again, bugs, grubs and injurious in
sects and their eggs are more easily
reached by frost in plowed than in UNI
plowed land.
The larvae of the boll-worm winters
about six inches underground, If the
land is left undisturbed; but If the soil
is plowed seven or eight inches deep
the pests are brought to the surface
and killed with the first severe frost.
The same remark applies to host of
other vermin
But deep blowing is not advisable,
where wheat, oats barley or any small
grain is to be sown, unless done in suf,
ficient time to allow the soil TO become
compact Small grain requires a very
fine, well-pulverized surface, and firm
subsoil. This is not of much conse-
quence where the seed is sown in the
spring, after the last severe frost, but
in the fall sowing is matter of first
Importance.
Many farmers sow oats in the spring
from a fear of winter killing. That
fear is well grounded if the seed has
been plowed in deep and the soil left
loose; but if roller has been used, OF
the crop is grazed down, there is little
to be feared from frost.
Farmers, take time by the forelock,
and pillow early and deep. John c. Ed

Ice and Fish Ponds.

Prof. Henry Stewart made fish ponds
on his farm, and found other advantages
than the production of fish arising from
it. He says: "My ponds paid all the
cost of them the first year by the ice
they furnished, and, as the farm was
run as dairy, this supply was quite
valuable. Another valuable return was
the muck that was dug out and used for
litter in the stables and for compost,
and still another was the water

ers who have all these facilities take
any account of the value of water

farm may be often made to pay many
times the value of as much dry land. "
