CUTTING CLOVER EARLY.

This year of all others in the West the
farmers should cut their clover early. Be
sure to cut it before the seed has formed.
There is physical law in this that will
help the farmer If he is wise enough to
observe it. Clover is biennial-one of
those plants that commences to die when
once it has produced seed Here IS the
point: By cutting before the seed forms
you can cut two crops III one season and
still keep the root alive. At least it will
not die because its purpose has been full
filed. This year we shall need all the
hay we can get. Skillful management
of our clover meadows viii give us
large additional yield Of hay and have
the roots right for the next season. That
wise farmer, the late Hiram Smith, once
showed US field of medium clover nine
years old, from which he had taken that
year fully three tons per acre in three
cuttings But there is another great adj
vantage in early cutting. The hay for
milk and butter purposes is worth double
that Of the ordinary grade.
Now is the time, according to Hoard's
DairYman, which givas the foregoing
advice, to make a mistake that viii oc-
cupy US whole year in mourning about.
Cut the clover before it seeds. Cut two
crops. Get more hay peracre. Get hay
worth twice as much as the ordinary.

next year. One great reason clover
meadows kill out in winter is because
they become exhausted in summer by

formed before cutting. New York

together the hearts and minds Of that
asst multitude of diverse men.
Finally, when victory crowned the
four years struggle, there was COM
mon feeling of pride in the glorious
result, which at once exalted and deep
ened the soldierly fellowship.
After two thousand actions in the
field, small and great, after the enroll
ment Of nearly three millions Of men,
and the death of three hundred and
sixty thousand of them, the army was
disbanded at Washington in 1868, and
the soldiers rejoined their fellow citi-

At that final review in Washington

Already the desire was strong
throughout the army not to let die the
fellowships and friendships Of the war.
Clubs, circles; societies had already
been formed, some composed wholly of

some Of both. The object of all was

Whether the ordinary check rein is OF
any benefit may, perhaps, be considered
an open question. There are arguments
both for and against its use. On some
horses it may be useful On others it is
probably an injury. But, however, this
form Of the rein may be regarded there
seems to be but one way to look upon the
overhead check. This kind Of rein is
barbarity and ought to be abolished,
at once and forever II keeps the horse
in constant pain while it is on. and the
discomfort produced by its use remains
long after it is removed. In many
cases it has caused severe disease. The
horse is a noble animal and it is shame
and disgrace that for the sake Of show
he should be tortured by the wealthy and
aristocratic owners who use this form OF
check rein. American Dairyman.

GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC

For Thousands Of years it has been
custom with soldiers in the field to
form comradeships, one with another,
two men agreeing to, stand by each
other in life and in death, in sickness
and in wounds, and after death to ex-
ecute each others known desires.
There are traces ofthis relation in
the Greek historians. The Roman sol,
der under Julius Cesar called his
comrade committee" which simply
meant fellow soldier. 1t is such an es.
ta5lished custom IN the French army
to form comradeships that we find

the relation were recognized in mill

Ina army this strong feeling Of
comfadeship is not confined to the
single chosen friend. 1t includes the
company, the regiment, the brigade,
the division, the corps, and even the
entire army, binding million men

and feel and act as one man.

For the dead our heart has cherished
Love her tribute tear must render,
For the friends in peace that perisheo
There Is sorrow true and tender,
And aailence on COR life

But the hearts Of millions tremble
With the mighty tribulation.
And the sad in troops assemble
When the champions Of nation
Back from honor's fields Of strife
Come no more.

Hail them martyrs, name them signing;

And the flower Of praise is sweet
On their graves.
Some asleep beneath the willows,
Some asleep where valor slew them
Soft from lips that kissed their pillows
Soft from eyes that never knew them
Drop the benisons that greet
Fallen braves.
Far from dear domestic pleasure,
Fireside scenes and children prattle
Free they spent their vital treasure
In the wasting march and battle,
Following their flag Of fame
Where it flew,
Till new hopes in moonlight beauty
Smiled thfo terror lifting shadows,
Till the harvest after duty
Ripened peacs on bloodsstained meadows,
And their dream Of triumph came
Grandly true.
Lives ike fallen foliage strewing
Holy ground They fell not vainly.
Freedoms trees are greener growing
For Their fading, and more plainly
Ncrnaiprotnise lights the land
Where they lie;
For their rel cs left to moulder
Richer made the soil that bore them
And their memory old and older
Tells the living who deplore them
There are deeds whose virtue grand
Cannot die.
Bring your, blessings, gray-haired fathers,
Childhood with your sweet sedateness,-
While grateful country gathers
Round the sayiors of her greatness,
And her. thFones, in'mourning met,
Scatter bloom.
Come with tribute true and tender
Laurel wreaths and lyric numbers,
And above each dead defender
Let the love that never slumbers
Own its endless patriot debt
At the tomb.

The World. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1891-1896, 1892-05-28

Eleven months after the close of the
| war, at Springfield, Illinois, scheme
was conceived of uniting all who had
served in the army or the navy, and
had received an honorable dismission,
into a national society or order, the
name of which, it was finally decided,
should be the Grand Army Of the Re,
public.
The idea originated in the m ind oil
an officer of the Fourteenth Illinois
Infantry, Major Benjamin Franklin
Stephenson. He thought of it before
the war ended, while serving under
General Sherman in one Of his rapid
expeditions.
Major Stephenson's comrade or tent
mate was the chaplain of the regiment,
Rev. William J. Rutledge. Often these
two gentlemen, as they rode side by
side in the long marches, talked to-
gether of what would probably be-
come, after the war, of the enormous
numbers Of men they saw tramping on,
before, behind and around them-Sol.
diers, wagon men, camp followers
tramping, tramping in numbers that
seemed unlimited.
They agreed that men Sc closely
allied, and united by so many ties, so
bound together by common purpose,
and by SO many yicissitudes shared in
common, would not willingly consent
to total severance Of connection so
dear tn their affections and their pride.
The two friends agreed that, if they
came out of the struggle alive, they
would endeavor to work out in concert
some kind of organization for such an
object.
This agreement they kept. After the
war they planned agreat society to be
formed somewhat on the. basis of the
several social orders, such as the Free
masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pyth-
las and Sons of Temperance.
To impart military character to the
new organization the local branches
were named Posts, and all the officers
received military titles, such as Post
Commander, Adjutant, Quartermaster,
Officer Of the Day, Post Surgeon, Post
Chaplain, Officer of the Guard and
others.
i The rooms for the weekly meetings
of the posts are arranged like the lodge
rooms Of the other benevolent orders.
In few instancessthe local Post be-
came the owner of its own quarters,
and fitted them up with some-approach
to luxuious accommodations, with Ii.
brary, billiard room, dining room,
kitchen, sustained by the rents deriy-
ed fromsother portions Of the edifice.
Some Posts have gathered a highly
interesting collection of warlike curl
osities, such as banners, flags, field
glasses and captrned weapons. Occa'
sionally, piece of field artillery, ident-
flied with the history of a Post, graces
can Above of its apartment.
The greater number of the Posts
as--Snble weekly in hired room, plain,
" furnished, and often used for other
purposes on other evenings.
But not,the less has the Post been to |

sympathy, where the record of his SER
vices was deposited, and where he |

could meet his old comrades in socia,
intercourse.
Each Post, moreover, being connect.
ed with the county organization, and
that with the State and the national
body, membership invites man once
again to great national army, not
1naptly styled the Grand Army Of the
Republic.
It must not be supposed that the
founders of this powerful. organization
were actuated by sentiment alone. II
was thing of necessity that they
should look for steady and systematic
aid to the country which they had as
sisted to save.
Hence, the Order has taken the lead
in stimulating and guiding legislation
in behalf of the soldiers and their de-
peGdents, and Congress has shown
itself attentive to Its suggestions.
A vast amount of good, however,
has been done by the local posts alone.
To the Grand Army ofthe Republic
we are indebted for one Of the most
interesting and impressive Of our cere-
monial days-that on which the graves
OF the soldiers are decorated. The idea
originated in the mind of German
who had served as private in the
Union army, whose name has not been
preserved.
Early in May, 1868, he wrotes to the
Adjutant General Of the Grand Army,
saying that in his native country it
was the custom Of the people in the
spring to visit the burying grounds, and
place flowers upon the graves of their
friends and relatives. He suggested
that the Grand Army should designate
q day for the decoration of the graves
of the soldiers.
The idea met with favor, and Gen.
John A. Logan, then Commander in
Chief of the Grand Army, promptly
promulgated an order setting apart the
Thirtieth Of May for the purpose.
General Logan expressed the hope
that the observance would be kept up
from year to year SO long as one sur,
vlvor Of the war remained to honor the
memory of his departed comrades.
Memorial Day has been observed
= StFFSAto All plCSolVUuC5o tN0E
since,and the day is now legal holi,
day in most of the Northern States east
OF the Mississippi river. !.
In 1871 the Grand Army could claim
butthirty thousand members. In 1879
great increase began, until the whole
number OF members approached four
hundred thousand.
while the great object Of this army
OF men has been to promote the meas
ures looking to the rehefand advant-
age Of the soldiers and those dependent
upon them, they have taken leading
part also in the erection of the innum-
cradle monuments to the memory of
fallen comrades which adorn our pub
lie grounds and cemeteries.
Other nations have heaped the most |
bountiful rewards upon the successful |
ola great war. We have,
perhaps, not been sufficiently generous
to the leaders in the war; but 1t was
natural, in Republic, that the rank |
and file of the army should be the chief
recipients of national benefaction.
