NC neath d cen. Fnrnsworth.

George w. Toms. Fifth New York
cavalry, Stamford, Conn, says he
differs in several points from Comrade
Clark in his graphic account of the
death of Gen. Farnsworth in the Ma
tional Tribune OF Dec. 3, 1891. In the
first place Comrade Clark says Gen.
Fitzpatrick ordered Gen. Farms
worth to take a battalion Of the
First Vermont cavalry and charge
with it. Now, as there We're several
regiments of Confederates in their
front it would be ridiculous to
charge them with a battalion of cav
airy. And then, again, it does not
seem right for General commanding
division to order a General command
ing brigade to take a battalion
(which is composed of four eompanies)
and charge with il. In other articles
in regard to the same affair the First
West Virginia cavalry claim that Gen.
Farnsworth was killed while
leading them in q charge, which is also
claimed by the first Vermont cavalry
The fact is that he was leading the
| whole FIRST brigade, with the exception
! OF the Fifth New York cavalry. Com
rade Clark further says that Farnsworth
fell, pierced with six balls all at once.
The writer says he received his first
wound before he reached the enemy's
line, and the second near the stone wall,
and the last and fifth ball passed
through his heart, and when he fell he
was directly in front of a Confederate
battery, in an open field, and about a
quarter of mile within the Confeder.
ate line. The writer does not wish to
rob Comrade Clark of any of his we'll
won laurels, for he knows there was nc
better regiment Of cavalry in the service
than the First Vermont, but the com.
rade has surely got things mixed.

the battle Of Missionary Ridge, and
refers the comrades TO Cist's History Of

First division, Fourteenth corps, under
Col NJ. f. Moore, and Ninteenth Iili-
nois, Eleventh Michigan, Sixty-ninth
Ohio, Fifteenth United States. First
and Second battalions, Nineteenth
United States composed the brigade. =
The writer says they always had a
good opinion of the Regulars, and they
did splendid service in many hard
fought battle, but they did not consider
them any better than the volunteers.

Lands for Soldiers.

1t Is declared that the last public sale
of school lands in the counties of
Cass, Grand Forks, Trail, Walsh,
Pembina, and Riehland in North
Dakota, is illegal Amounts of
sales in 1892 aggregate over SLIT
600 Many lands were under lease
until 1892 and sold subject to leases,
The constitution of the State, adopted in
in 1859, created Board OF University
and School Lands, to which is given
control of the leasing and sale OF
school lands subject to the Legislature.
The board consists of the Governor,
Auditor, Secretary of State, Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, and At
torney-General. The Legislature Of
1890 passed an act for the leasing and
sale of common school lands. This au-
thorized the sale of common schoo'
lands in 1891 and no other year.

Growing Me!ons.

Melons can be grown in nearly every
portion OF the United States with sue
cess and they are so delicious and
wholesome that II Is a wonder that
more people do not grow a supply OF
them. A good plan to follow Is to
put the ground In order as soon
as possible in the spring and
mark it of in squares eight feet
across At the corner OF these squares
make hill two inches above the sur
rounding surface and fertillze II thor
oughly with well rot,ed manure.
Then. as soon as probable danger
from frost is past. plant the seeds in
one side Of the hill covering them not
deeper than one inch. In a week
plant more seeds in another part Of
each hill and again in another week
make another planting in every Hill.
II this IS done. late frosts that may
kill the first and second paintings Will
have no effect on the third. and II the
season should prove to be an early
one, the first planting will have the
advantage OF an early start and the
later ones may be pulled up The
after cultivation Of melons should not
be deep but all the weeds must be kept
down. After the vines begin to run
they should be disturbed as little as
possible Larger melons will be pro-
duced If after melon sets on vine
the end is pinched of at the second
joint beyond the blossom. 1t is best
to carefully train the vines to cover
the patch evenly This can be easily
done if they are given start in the
right direction when they first begin
to run. Farmers Voice

Alfalr IN Colorado.

Mr.. G. w. Farlee asks through the
Country Gentleman for the experience
OF alfalfa growers and is answered as
follows by L. C. Mead: In this section
Of the country we have been raising
alfalfa for twelve or fifteen years with
gratifying success. We SOW 1t on
land that has been in small grain for
several years without fertilizlng for
the threeiold purpose OF raising hay, TO
clean the ground OF weeds and to en-
rich the soil and We are practically
sure OF succeeding in each particular.
We always SOW II with small gram.
and generally get better crop OF
grain than when we do not SOW alfal-
IA Indeed. many think we should
now practice sowing alfalfa with all
our small grain and pillow every year.
Any ground we'll fitted for timothy or
clover seed is suitable for alfalfa. II
sown alone it should always be mown
when foot or so high. or as soon as
il begins to blossom. Tnis cutting
will amount to little except to get the
weeds out OF the way after which We
are never troubled with weeds. The
way one finds it best to SOW clover is
the way to SOW alfalfa In sowing
with wheat l SOW half bushel with
oats one bushel with barley three
pecks. We generally raise three crops
in year getting five or six tons to
the acre.
We raised il at first for the hay
but now principally to tertilize the
ground, and the results are simply as.

lieye me when say that ncighbor
raised last year 65 bushels OF barley

in alfalfa only two years tone year
with small grain. and the same land
before raising the alfalfa would not
have yielded more than 70 bushels

We composted the different manures

heavy and wet with the dry straw. SO
as to prepare the whole for applica-
ton. When spring came sediment
flowed from the heaps that we dipped
into barrels and applied to one Of the
corn fields carefully marking the
rows and giving them the same cult
walton the rest OF the field had. The
rows that had the liquid manure
sprinkled over them yielded 50. OF
bushels an acre. The manure from
which the liquid seeped was common
to most Iowa farms and was made
from feeding corn with little bran
and oil meal. We applied 10 barrels
Of the liquid and got at the rate
OF 20 bushels OF corn an acre

Our object was TO call the
attention OF Iowa farmers to the loss
resulting from the wash Of barn yards
ana the loss OF urine so universal
over the state. Another effect from
