Mr.. S. T. NICHOLSON, Raleigh, N. G.
Dear Sir: 1t gives me great
pleasure to send to the Ladies'
Memorial Association, through you,
the brother of two of North Cardinals
bravest sons, a small contribution,
twenty dollars, to the State Con-
federate Monument which they have
SO periodically determined to erect in
Raleigh ii. loving memory of their
heroic dead. | wish | was able to
make it larger.
Well do know, from the frequent
merry chats around our smoky camp
fires, that the fair ones at home fired
many young Southern soldier in the
glorious and dangerous discharge of
his duties. | have often thought that
the grandest Of all monuments ought
to be erected to the noble, refined,
tender-hearted and patriotic women
of the South.
wish you could see the pretty
memorial window in our little Epis-
copal chapel here" " TO the Glory of
God, and in Loving Memory of our
Fallen Braves" -put there by myself
and two or three other fighting
" rebels" from Old Virginia.
Some of North Cardinals bravest
soldiers highly honored me when l
was young fighting rebel they
petitioned President Davis for my
promotion and assignment as their
commander after the fall OF the
peerless Branch at Sharpsburg. l can
still hear their joyful shouts as Gen.
A. P. Hill wheeled from the head of
his staff and escort, while on the
march from Smokers Gap, rode up to
me, gracefully DOTTED his hat, publicly
congratulated me-, and expressed his
pleasure at my permanent assignment
as their Brigad!er. How we marched
and fought, starved and otherwise
suffered When those tears at APP
pomattox, as We moved back from the
front, soon followed by that sad and
affectionate parting-many Of US never
to meet again!
The enclosed is conclusive evidence
that commanded splendid brigade,
and that had right to be proud of
and to love those brave men who had
SO highly honored ME. Coming as it
does from such an unsought source, l
know it will be very gratifying to you,
as it certainly is to me. Please return
the paper.
Yours very sincerely,
AMES H. LANE.

scarce and commanding good prices. The craze for citrus fruits seems to have spent it's force for the present, and the deciduous classes, coupled with nut trees. are more in demand. As production increases the prices and profits are bound to diminish more or less. and the idea presents itself Co the wise grower to plant only such fruits as are best calculated to do well in his locality, and that at the same time are grown only in limited areas upon the earth's surface. Among such may be chased the april cot and the olive. The former can now be said to be an established article in the trade east of Rocky mountains. Dealers express the opinion that the superior apricot which is grown in Southern Arizon and California will always command the highest prices whether canned, dried. or shipped in green state. lAit OlifN tliO ohiiiN 10 Adt FNit true. So far as production is con- cerned. Allowing for the fact that during 1891 we imported S9S, S94 gal Ions of adulterated oil as pure olive oil. and that we produced only II, ,420 gallons, gives some idea of the market we have to supply, and practically annihiates the argument of overpr0- duction. The markets for our raisins, peaches, prunes, oranges and lemons. almonds and walnuts are all more or less influenced by the supplies coming from other sources. Some of the Southern states, notably Georgia with her peaches, Florida with her citrus fruits, and the imports of raisins, prunes and other fruits abroad, are bound to establish the market price of our products in these lines. As a matter of fact the wise grower will in the future bend all his best energies in cheapening production rather thap try to obtain higher prices for his product.

matters in the soil. and to dissolve other mineral compounds, it has been found necessary to use as much as twenty-five or thirty bushels of lime to an acre. while for the direct needs of crop not more than one hundred pounds might be needed This ex- plains why the common practice is to use such large quantity when only such a small quantity appears on the face of it to be needed, And it f0l- lows that the more unavailable organic or mineral matters that may be present in the land, the larger may be the quantity of lime required, and the more notable it's effects. and thus 1t is good practice to apply lime even to land that is largely made up of limestone because this is not lime, and wholly unable to act in the way lime does, being wholly insoluble.

Is Electricity a Myths

In it's practical, servlceable rela- tions, assuredly no. But there is an active debate in progress says the Mecanical News among scientific scholars on the question whether there is, after all, such thing as electricity, using the word thing implying material entity-or as whether il is merely an effect. or to speak more technically. q mode of motion. II the latter theory is ac- ccpted by the scientific world as cor rect. electricity will still be in very respectable company, for both heat and light have gone that way before. Not very long ago they were supposed even by philosophers to be actual sub stances, not exactly tangible or pom derabe. but still having a positive material existence. and liable some day to be weighed and measured. manipulated and transported like any other commodity. Practically. of of course, this is done when ton of coal or a pound of candles changes hands. But in any of these eases it is only the vehicle or agent which is visibly dealt in, and it will only be by q figure Of speech that we shall ever ask for q hundred weight of heat or a gallon of light. The analogies of the case seem to point to the same con clusions as regards electricity. What goes by the name of electricity may be generated and stored, and 1t is so treated for multitude of uses; but only in this view of the case. as light is stored in gas tank or warmth in a cord of wood
 Possibly the question is not of much moment save as topic of abstract controversy. Butspeculative inquiries such as this have led and will lead to results of vast practical usefulness to mankind.

AMERICAN SWEET cHEsrNurs.

In the Eastern States where the chestnuts grow wild in the forests. q large revenue is derived from harvest ing and selling the nuts and market- ing the timber. Near the large cities the farmer boy calculates upon from sl. 50 to s6,0O per busbel for the nuts in comparison to the earliness and perfection of the crop. The constant great destruction of this class of tim Der naturally diminishes the supply Of nuts and makes the prospects of planting the trees more profitable. Some idea of the value of the chest nut tree can be formed when it is known that as much as $150 per acre is paid in the Eastern States for the privilege of cutting the timber for market
 Trees of the American variety grow rapidly in nearly every section of the Irrigated west. They will come into bearing in most localities at five years of age and will be ready for market as timber in ten or twelve years from the time of planting. They are like the hickory nut in that the value of the tree is not lost with one cutting as young sprouts or suckers will spring up from the stump. Farmers should devote more attention to the growth of chestnut trees. They will largely enhance the value of the farm and add to the beauty, comfort and convenience of the space devoted to timber culture There arc but few western farms % small but that some sBaea could be vc.J I-,Q9Lshly devoted to the growth of these trees

SAVING WATER IN IRRIGATION.
[From the IrrIgatIon Aee. ]


 Three important matters to be at tended to in saving water are. first, thorough preparation of the ground before irrigation or before the crop is planted: second personal attention during irrigation: third, cultivation at the proper time SO that the surface is finely pulverized to prevent baking of the soil. It is essential that all these matters should be attended to.
 Another important matter not gen. erally taken into account is the size of the stream used. If stream of one cubic foot per second will flow across the ground in one hour, a stream of two cubic feet per second will flow over the same land in fifteen or twenty minutes.
 If the land irrigated is two rods wide and forty rods long, it will con tain one half acre and the scream of one cubic foot per second will leave two inches of water on the ground: that is, sufficient water to cover the land two inches deep. The stream of two cubic feet per second will leave one or one and one third inches on the land.
 We do not know that there is rule as to velocity of different sized streams. but every experienced irriga- tor knows that q large sized stream will go over the ground more rap idlythan the same amount of water divided into smaller streams. Long runs of water are not economical. as the upper end of the run will be under water longer, and of course will get much more water than the lower end. An even distribution of water is very desirable, so that one part of the field shall not require irrigation before another part.
 It is economy of water to say noth- ing of labor. to give one irrigation of two inches once month. instead of four irrigations of one half inch, once d week. Showers are good. but the soaking rains do the work. A shower of one-fourth inch once week will wet the surface only, while rain of one inch will do more good than q half dozen showers.
 If we cannot regulate the size of the stream then we Shoulb regulate the size of the land to be irrigated to suit the stream. We cannot expect to blow as much ground with a ten inch blow as with a fourteen-inch blow. and if we undertake it the work will not be well done.
 We learn some lessons each year about the land we irrigate. The man who changes his location from year to year cannot accomplish as much as the man whe irrigates the same land from year to year.

For those who keep sheep. rape is one of the best crcps to grow There are many varieties, some of which are practically worthless for pasture. The best variety is generally admitted to be the dwarf Essex. It does not seed the year it is grown. Rape will give more and better pasture for the sheep than any thing else. It may be sown up to the lst of August, and will give an abundance of early fall and winter feed. True rape is known by the leaf being smooth and glossy like the Swedish turnip.
