covering the seed at the same time.
The second use is for feeding green to
stock, With dairymen and farmers
who soil their cattle it is highly priced
for this purpose. Many feed it to
their horses also, and some 'veterina-
rians say that it is an excellent forage
for driving horses, as it does not scour.
The third use is to grow it for seed for
market. When this is the aim it
should not be cut till mature, and
then early in the morning or late in
the evening, as the seed shakes out
easily by handling, and much will be
lost if handled when very dry. The
same care must be used afterward
when curing to be threshed. The yield
of seed is usually about six bushels
per acre, and the market price about
five dollars bushel

Gen. Reynolds was veteran who had

numbered about three thousand men;
the enemy had three times as many.
Nevertheless he bravely brought them

them to victory when he fell. In a

considerable annoyance. He deter

STRANGE POSITIONS IN DEATH.
Queer Incidents of the War as Observed
by Participant.

Queer Incidents of the War as Observed
by Participant.
During the late civil war detach-
ment of United States soldiers forag-
ing around Goldsborough, N. c., came
suddenly upon small band of southern
troops who had dismounted These
latter Immediately jumped into their
saddles and all scampered away except
one, after being exposed to one round
of firing The soldier who did not es-
cape was seen standing upright with
one foot in the stirrup of his saddle.
In his left hand he held the bride and
the horses name, while his right hand
grasped his rifle near the muzzle, the
stock being on the ground. The horse
mans head was turned towards the
right shoulder, apparently watching the
approach of the enemy. Some of the
union soldiers were preparing to fire
again, when the officer ordered them to
desist and to make the defiant man
prisoner. The MAJ was then ordered
to surrender, but he made no answer.
When he was approached it was found
that he was stone dead and perfectly
rigid in the attitude described above. 1t
took considerable of an effort to force
his left hand to release the horses
name and to remove the rife from the
right hand. When the body was laid
upon the ground the limbs preserved
the same position and the same inhexi-
bility. The man had been struck by
two balls fred from Springfield rifles
One of these had entered to the right of
the spinal column and had made its exit
from the body near the region of the
heart It had left slight indentation
in the saddle and then dropped to the
ground The horse remained unhurt,
having stood the fire because tied to
tree by halter.
The following is another incident At
the battle of Williamsburg DIR. T. P.
Reed examined the body of United
States zouave who had received ball
in the forehead just as he was climbing
over a low fence. Like that Colds
borough case above, this man had pre-
served the last attitude of his life. One
of his legs was half over the fence,
while his body still remained behind.
One hand was raised level with his fore
head with the palm forward as if to
ward off some imminent danger. st.
