Growing Miniature Trees.

Iti vastly interesting to experiment
with an acorn and study its possibili-
ties as an attractive window garden
plant. One of the most popular
methods Of starting it into growth is
to suspend it by a piece Of thread
within half an inch Of the surface OF
some water contained in hyacinth
glass. 1t should be permitted to re-
main suspended in this manner with
out being disturbed, and after time
it will burst and throw root into the
water and shoot upward it's straight
and tapering stem, with beautiful lit
tie green leaves. A young oak tree
growing in this manner in the window
is very interesting object. Several
oak trees and also chestnut tree have
been noticed growing thus, but they
are liable to die after a few months,
probably owing to the fact that the
water is not changed often enough to
afford them the necessary quantity OF
nourishment from the matter contain
ed in it, but the interest displayed in
the short lived little trees is well worth
the trouble of experimenting.-Phil-
o1e7phia Record.

Farmers Of Two Sections.

We wish every farmer in the South
could read the stories from the special
correspondent of the New York World
sent to the famine district Of Nebraska.
We think we are poor in this country,
but we are all rolling in riches COM
pared with these Nebraska people.
They had free land to begin with,
but it was prairie land. Timber was
not available and fuel was always hard
to get. Most of them live from the
beginning in houses built Of sods, most
of them with one room, one door and
one window, warmed IN winter with a
stove. They have made but two crops
in eleven years. This year they made
literally nothing. One man reported
that from forty bushels, Of potatoes
planted he gathered scant bushel Of
which none were larger than hickory
nuts. The corn was less than foot
high and did not even furnish fodder.
The wheat and oats did not grow as
high as grass and yielded no grain.
Chickens starved to death on the
farms. The World correspondent
drove thirty miles through the country
and never saw fowl. The people
who had horses left were anxious to
exchange them at the rate Of two for
one COW. A cow is valued at only
Sl2, but she can pick better living
from the fields than horses can and
families can live on her milk.
The people have no food, no fuel,
no clothes. They have nothing to sell
and no money to buy anything and
stock of all kinds has been turned
loose to gather living as it best can
from the stunted corn stalks. Only
the mild winter so far prevents hun
dreds of people from freezing TO death.
They are hard working people.
Most of them are pure Americans Of
! the best class-young couples who
went out and took up quarter sections
of free land and who have labored hard,
hopefully and intelligently, making
every edge cut, trying to make grains,
stock, poultry, dairy products, every
thing or anything that would bring in
| dollar. The land and the climate
have been against them.
If these people had been brought
! South ten or twelve years ago and had
rented lands and begun, even under
our lien law, living as hard, saving as
conscientiously, working as earnestly
| as they have, they would certainly be
in far better shape than they are. We
! call ourselves in bad shape here now.
but we have nothing like the condi-
tions existing in Nebraska, have never,
even in our worst times, had anything
like them, and could not have them.
There has never been time when our
soil would not at least yield enough
to eat and wood enough for winter
fres.-GreenriNe Ncaos.

Lieutenant Mauldin and Hughes Ham

as COOK anu general WdlGlu8 Uoy
These darkies wanted to go into bat
tie so they would have something big
to tell after they got back home. So
they we're told that they might 60
along, keeping little in rear of the
Company where they could watch their
respective masters and see how battles
were fought, not anticipating any dan
ger to themselves. We had perhaps
advanced hundred yards or more
when all of a sudden gun boat open
ed fire on US, throwing shell, one Of
which burst over our heads, scattering
the fragments in every direction.
That was something that Willis and
Andy had not took into consideration,
and consequently were not prepared
for it. Willis looked around moment
and, turning to Andy, said, candy,
you can go on if ye wants ter, but Use
got ter go back and take care Of mars
Billie's baggage -, and about that
time another shell burst little closer
than the other, and then several more
in rapid succession, and the rattle Of
musketry just a little in front Of us,
with now and then whizzing mimic
ball close to our heads, they could
stand it no longer. Andy did not say
anything, but as Willis big eyes shone
around and he made the break, Andy
was close at his side. With a shell
every minute whistling over their
heads they made their way to the rear
in very short space of time. Willis
never afterwards liked to hear the boys
say that they would have to go back
and take care of mars Billie's bag
gage"
After this little episode and after
we had fired into tie Texans, we were
formed in line Of battle on the right
of the road leading to the landing on
the river, and the Texans on the left,
then ne advanced again, coming up
with sure enough yankees next time,
and drove them back to their gun
boats. Then Major, afterwards Gen
eral, Stephen D. Lee opened fire on
them with his Artillery and drove
them off. R. R. King, Of our Com
pany, d. received slight wound in
the foot from piece Of shell, and I
think man in Company F. and per-
haps one in Company E., were wound
ed, one Of them mortally, as we'll as I
remember, were all the casualties in
our regiment that day. We picked up
several haversacks filled with crackers,
boiled ham and ground coffee, with
the sugar in it, and canteens filled
with lemonade ready for drinking.
Lieutenant Bowen got very fine, good
beaver overcoat, and several Of the
boys picked up other less valuable
articles.
Several of US new recruits received
our first full degree of war in this
fight, having taken in the first section
of the degree in marching.
Late in the afternoon We retired
after gaining the victory, and after
taking refreshments and resting awhile,
we continued our march up the PENN
sular that night in the direction of
Richmond, with the yankee close at
urheels, singing, "On to Riohmond;"
but hundreds Of them never got there.
Let the young military boys now,
remember that war is not all a gallant
display of uniform and glittering arms
as they now see it on parade and gen.
eral review, but something more seri-
GUS to consider. More anon,

Killing ont Bushes.

The whole secret in killing sprout-
ing roots is to destroy the leaves to
which they owe their existence. Grub
bing only provokes more shoots and
more work. Moving, if so close as to
keep off all leaves, will certainly kill
the roots. The best way we have
ever tried to kill bushes is as an old
darky did, from whom We first learned
the method, to thrash them. Beat
ing and bruising so as not to allow a
healthy leaf to show, will soon set up
such fermentation as to destroy top
and root. Therefore, if the bushes are
in a pasture, begin in early Spring
with good hickory stocks, and beat
and thrash every green leaf, and keep
thrashing as long as q leaf@shows.
This can be done much more rapidly
than grubbing, and if we'll kept up, the
whole plant Will be dead by winter,
and can be taken out dead and burned,
with no live roots left to grow, says a
writer in the Massachusetts, Plough
man. In cultivated fields there is no
difficulty in keeping bushes down, if
short rotation is practiced with corn,
clover, small grain and peas. They
will be then chopped, smothered and
and mown so often that they soon give
up the ghost. But in a permanent
pasture my experience is that the more
you grub the more bushes you get.
Kill them by beating bark and leaves
dead before digging.

blowing gale. How We would re-
joice to spend the rest Of the winter
in sunny Florida"

in sunny Florida"
My friend Robert McCay says he
spent several years in Europe, and
mingled with the common people in
their humble homes, and found them
more contented in their poverty than
ours are with their comforts of life.
They live on what we would throw to
the dogs-every scrap is carefully
saved. If German family has son
or a father in the army (and nearly
every family has one or the other,
they save every penny to send to him
and keep him comfortable. just
think what drain it is upon the en-
ergies and toll of a people who have tc
maintain half million soldiers as q
standing army in times Of peace. No,
we should not complain of anything
down here in the Southland, where
good crops have for many years blessed
the farmers toll, and where q man
can live comfortably on 25 cents day.
There is no excuse for man to be.
come tramp, the LATEST negro can
command more than that anywhere
every day in the year.
That is so, the wages Of anegro man
have not fallen below so cents a day
in Cartersville-most Of them get Is
cents. Down here in Florida they get
from 81 to $1.25 for unskilled labor
for grubbing, hauling, making up
mortar or digging in the phosphate
mines.
The greatest source of discomfort is
envy Of those who are better off.
That old dogma Of Thomas Jefferson,
who declared that call men are by
nature free and equal, has done much
harm, for it is not true, and never will
be until the millennium. 1t will not
be true then, for there are grades and
ranks and classes in the future state.
There are angels and archangels-
Gabriel and Moses and Elias rank
higher than Lazarus. There is also a
hell and lower hell-why should we
envy those who rank US in wealth OF
fame or power or dignity ? Webster
showed the right spirit when he said
IT thank God that, if I cannot raise a
mortal to the skies, I have no desire
to pull an angel down." Oh, for more
of such noble aristocrats.
But it is not so bad in Florida fol-
visitors. We are luxuriating on very
fine oranges every day, and they cost
us only so cents hundred. The
thick-skinned fruit has not been frozen
inside some Of it is little touched
next to the stem, but we cut that of
and the rest is good. They make e1-
cellept ambrosia. The fruit that still
hangs on the trees is generally eata-
Bile.
Grape fruit has not suffered like the
oranges, and we have it every morning
at the breakfast table. The weather
is delightful, and our so-called female
invalids sport every day on or in the
water, and some Of them can row
boat to the island without man. ]
hear the same old song that hear at
home, "Woman rules here" and | am
content to take second place-fo1
my wife is an aristocrat and l am
nothing but Democrat.
