lozenge was reserved for the Third
corps, as Kearney's division was of that
corps, so that the mark he had put on
his men need not be changed, and that
incident fixed the color of the mark for
the First division-red-the white for
the Second, and blue for the Third, fol-
lowing naturally as national colors.
"For the Second corps the trefoA was
chosen as n sort of shamrock, there be-
ing many troops of Irish origin or de-
scent in that corps, and / wished the
marks to become popular with the COM
mands.
"1n the Fifth corps in my old brigade
was my old regiment, the Twelfth New
York, which l had commanded as q
militia regiment before the war. had
decorated many of its officers and men
with bronze and gold Maltese crosses
for efficient and thorough discharge of
duty prior to this, so / reserved the
Maltese cross for them for that reason.
The badges or marks of the other
corps named therein were chosen by me
for no reason other than to have some
pleasing form or shape, easily and
quickly distinguished from the others,
and capable of aiding in the esprit de
corps and elevation of the morale and
discipline of the army desired to estab-
lish, which at that time, generally
speaking, was simply abominable, de-
sertions occurring by thousands, and
money and clothing being sent for tho
purpose, which we seized and held at
headquarters, delaying the money and
keeping back the civilians clothing to
prevent it's use for desertion.
Through these measures, with others,
the morale of the army and it's tone
was restored and improved to very
high standard, higher, l think, than it
ever had before or after
with corps marks or badges other
than those l have here referred to, I
had no part in designation, except in
the Fourteenth corps (Gen. George III.
Thomas). The general and myself had
served as brigade commanders in Pat
terson's column in '61, and were person.
ally well acquainted. When we took
the Eleventh and Twelfth corps from
the army of the Potomac to re-enforce
the army of the Cumberland (after
ChicEamagua), Gen. Thomas first saw
and liked the idea of our corps marks
and badges. He directed Gen. Whipple,
his Acknowledgement to prepare one for
the Fourteenth. Gen. Whipple had
many designs of a geometrical form,
but Gen. Thomas did not seem to like
them, and told him to send for me and
consult me. l saw his forms, and told
him that, had l commanded the Four
teenth corps, which stood as firm as an
oak at Chickamagua, as it was then
spoken of, l would give them the acorn
for badge in honor of their bravery.
Gen. Thomas said: That is what we
shall do; let it be the acorn. With this
exception, beyond the corps l have
mentioned, had nothing to do with
the designation of forms and marks,
save that the idea and custom arose
with me and was followed by others"

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

CLOVER loosens up the soil by pcne.
soil mechanically.
The same principle which has caused
the wholesale slaughter of birds and
animals and the waste of fertility and
timber in this country is shown in the
manner in which our highways have
been treated or left without treatment.
THE only solution for the diversity of
opinion and results obtained in various
farm practices is the difference in men
and their adaptability to carry out in
practice the various methods and prac-
tices on which successful agriculture
depends.
If the pig must be fed on slop let the
slop consist of wheat middlings or
bran and skinned milk. Such slop
will make pig grow rapidly, and if it
also has the run of clover field it
should keep in good health, as it will
not be liable to disease of any kind.
BESIDES the three ingredients in fer
tilizers which are commonly mentioned,
the soil must have humus-vegetab BILE
matter-to hold moisture and to make
plant foods available. A plant takes
food only in liquid form-that is, the
mineral foods. Clover will furnish
humus if plowed under.
WOMEN who are willing to work have
their attention called to the dairy. The
work in it can be readily superintendent
by them, and most of it is what they
can readily do. Their neatness and
easily acquired skill is needed IN it.
They can build up the private dairy and
make it popular everywhere.
ONE of the sources of profit when
such concentrated foods as bran, mid
dlings or oil meal are fed is the manure
made from such foods. A ton of manure
from rich and nutritious food is more
valuable than three tons from some
other substances. There is more in
the quality than in the quantity of ma
nnre.
