Al The time Jack Hurd was taken to
Knoxville and tried there were, hiIye
hsen told. fully 4 thousand Union men
IN the camp about tho city WIN had been
toRn Gum thstf homes and forced into
the Confederate service. Conscriptlon
was not enforced 90 thoroughly and with
% much harnesses in districts where Q
majority Of the people were strongly In
Favor 1t accession. The first Confeder.
ntO congress that met In Richmond
passed . CONSUMPTION act that exempted
. majority Of the rich and provided that
the last son Of q widow or the sole sup
port Of poor family might DO drafted
tUr home guard duty. but could not be-
taken beyond the reach Of those depend
ent on him.
But East Tennessee was an exception
to the rule that prevailed in the rest Of
the seeded states and in the rest Of
Tennessee. It was believed, and with
some reason. that II the Confederates
did not conscript, imprison or kill the
East Tennesseeans at once they would
make their way through TO the Union
lines and don the blue. The enforce
ment Of the CONSUMPTION act in the
mountains Of East Tennessee, western
North CarOlina and western Virginia
WAS not intended so much to recruit the
ranks Of the southern arIny-for the
Confederates had more troops than could
be equipped and properly organized OF
this time-aa tOcrush out the Union sem
timent with u stunning blow.
No matter who were the men exempt.
ed in other places the mountaineers were
regarded rs an exception, and 30 In the
dragnet Of the conscripting officers
gray haired old men and beardless boys
were caught and brought In. II there
were six sons In family. with father,
not one was left. II there were only
one son to take care Of a widowed
mother, ~ in the case Of Jack Hurd, Of
Campbell county, he was seized; and IL
he resisted TO the death, rs was his
right. he was treated rs u murderer.
All the cOnscripts brought down from
the mOuntaInStO Knoxville were at once
sworn into the Confederate service and
sent to camps Of instruction. and they
were too much stunned to enter pro-
test. But as soon as they had time to
think. and talk with each other they.
swOre to pursue a course-if they could
not deSert-that would not add to the
efficiency Of the organizations to which
they were attached.
Many Of the friends and relatives Of
the conscripted men had been shot down
resisting-shOt down as il they had been
lawlesS despeFadOeS-and Others had
been thrown into the county jails or car
ried to Knoxville. where at this time
they were packed like fish in a basket.
These acts intensified the hate for the
COnfederary. and kindled fire in every
Union heart that only blood could
quench.
The fact that Jack Hurd had killed
cOnscripting officer was known in all the
camps before that young man was
brought prisoner to Knoxville. and the
verdict 81 the mountain men was ''Bully

in Fig. may be adopted. The farm
road enters and passes directly toward
the rear of the farm. At convenient
distance, anywhere between two rods
and twenty, the dwelling is situated,
but to prevent rough loads from going
too near it, curve is made which
leaves a sort of ''island" in front of the
house, the loads of manure passing
straight on and the carriages with pas
sengers turning up to the dwelling.
The ''island" is planted partly with
evergreens, which obscure the heavy
loads as they pass the house. The
fruit and vegetable garden is arranged
so as to be cultivated with horse,
and the source of manure at the barn
invites its free use and promises the
best crops. On the right of the dwell
ing is small portion of ground kept
as a smooth lawn or planted as de-
scrlbed under Fig 1.
To give finish and beauty to both
these places more can be accomplished
by a continued use of the lawn mower
than by an equal expenditure of labor
in any other way.-Country Gentleman.
The Republican., 1892-03-04
FARM AND GARDEN.

ONIONS and peas are the first spring
crops in the garden. The ground can.
not be made ready too soon.
AS A precaution against rats in the
corn cribs it is suggested that the out
side or inside of the cribs be lined with
screen wire, which is fine enough TO
keep out mice also.
DAIRY schools are now being estab-
lished in many of the western states
and are well attended. In one such
school in Iowa there are one hundred
pupils. This is an encouraging out
look for good butter in the future.
TAKING the cream out of the milk
intended for cheese may increase the
amount of butter for market, but it
lessons the value of the cheese. There
is wide field open for the manufacture
of good full-cream cheese.
AFTER your pigs are killed it pays to
take up the floors of the pens and en-
gage in rat killing. Rats are found
under nearly all pig pens, as they find
all such locations safe from intrusion,
with plenty of feed within reach.
A FEW hens fed on table scraps will
give a larger profit, proportionately,
than a large flock fed on grain, not so
much because they receive more food,
but because they secure a greater vs'
Eiety and are given more attention.

reached by a good carriage road from
the highway, and by simple curve
any vehicle is easily driven to the barn.
In front of the barn and near the
sources of manure is the fruit and veg

that nearly all the work in it is per-

On the right of the house is half an

How to Make the Surroundings of q

Many of the publications of past
years devoted to designs of home
grounds and landscape gardening,
treated less of farmer.' homes than Of
town lots and city residences. With a
view of supplying this deficiency in q
small degree, we propose occasionally
to give few plans of country places
in connection with moderate-sized
farms, or of those containing from one
to two hundred acres, the owners Of
which reside upon them, and can de-
vote some spare means to their inn
provement by planting.
Fig. is plan where about two or
three acres of nearly level ground is
occupied with the dwelling, barn and
and the fruit and vegetable garden.
Little explanation is needed. On the
left is either the farm road or a by road
