Tho Color Of Corn.

At the various experiment stations in
the corn growing states there have been
something like 1900 tests with nearly
500 varieties in which the relation of
color to yield has been observed. The
general average Of all these tests shows
that the white varieties make larger
yield by about ~ bushels than the yel-
low varieties At six out Of seven sta.
tions the highest yielder was the white
variety, and Of the IS varieties named
as giving the best yields at the different
stations "a were white and only 2 were
yellow, the others being red. AS the
Iowa Homestead explains, this does not
mean that every white variety is better
than every yellow one, but it does af-
ford ground for the belief that on the
average white corn is more prolific
With respect to feeding value there is,
from the standpoint Of scientific analy-
sis, no difference between white and yell
low corn, but on this point chemistry
is at variance with the opinions Of q
good many practical feeders.

STORIES OF
WILSON'S GREEK,
LYONS COURAGE Like all of the
AND DEATH. carry o"tt1es Oh the

LYONS COURAGE Like all of the
ANnnrAmu early battles of the
~ 11 49, civil war, Wilson's
Greek, fought about Aug. 10, 1861, was
what soldiers call a "mixed up affair. "
The main Federal army, led by the gal.
liant Nathaniel Lyon, attacked the Con-
federates under Price and McCulloch
upon their own ground. Lyon was not
sanguine Of victory. He felt that he had
been abandoned by his superiors, but
was unwilling to retreat in the face Of
the enemy, leaving the citizens of the
vicinity to IN uncertain fate. - -. r.
General Sigel' s command was separat-
ed from the main body, and it's situa.
ton gave Lyon deep anxiety. While his
own front wastengaged he suspended
action in order to succor Sigel's col
.umn. At this time he carried q wound
in his head and was dismounted, hav-
ing had his horse killed. Before the
! troops could fight their way through the
Confederate line toward Sigel the latter
had been defeated and hurled back in
retreat. The Confederates turned their
whole force against Lyon and approach
ed his line from two directions. Lyon
exerted himself to lead in detachments
of single regiments. At one time, being
in close contact with the enemy's van-
guard, he drew his pistol and called up
on his staff to do the same, intending to
rush forward as an example to his men.
Shortly >afterward he was killed by a
bullet fired from mass Of dense under.
brush, where the enemy lay concealed
from view. After Lyons death the bat.
tie ragged for half an hour. General
Sturgis assumed command. Price and
McCulloch forced the. fighting, but were
held in check for time by the Federal
troops amid terrible slaughter. Major
Johu M. Schofield and Captain Gordon
Granger were among the heroic leaders
under Sturgis. Sturgis' report says OF
Captain Granger that he was now

before the smoke had cleared away

S. artinery); at one moment reconnoi-
tering the enemy and the next either
bringing up re-enforcements Or rallying

the field I might direct attention there
would I find Granger hard at work. "
Captain Granger of 1861 was the gen.
eral hailed on the field of Chickamauga
by Thomas "Granger, great in battle. -
Lyon was 4s years old at his death.
He had won captains brevet in Mex
leo and held full captains rank when
the war broke out Conspicuous in hold
ing Missouri to the Union, he led her
first army against the Confederates. His
force at Wilson's creek numbered 5,40C
officers and men, with 16 guns. Price
and McCulloch opposed him with 10, 900
Arkansas and Missourians. The Federal
loss in battle was ,O65 and the Confed.

Plotting Soil.

Here is some advice from American
Agriculturist: If not already done, no
time should be lost in preparing suitable
soil for potting plants in autumn. De-
composed sods form the best possible
basis for such q soil Cut pieces Of sod
out 10 inches square and Q inches thick
and place them in a layer; on these put
a layer Of COW droppings, then another
layer Of sod, and so on until the desired
quantity has been obtained. Leave the
top fat so that the rain will soak
through it. During the dry weather it
is advisable to throw water over it from
time to time, or, still better, soapsuds
from the washtubs. Before potting the
plants the heap should be thoroughly
worked over and sifted, adding about
third of its quantity Of fine sand.
One reason for poor success with plants
in winter is because the proper prepare
ton Of potting soil has been neglected.

cure the elevation and cover Sigel. The
forces of Price and MoOulloch had all
they could do to hold the enemy back in
the face Of the desperate charges inspired
by Lyon. Lyons death at the outset
quickened the ardor Of his followers.
Across the lines the spirits Of the men
were elated by the repulse Of Sigel, and
Pearce's Arkansans were eager to be
led against the main line Of Federals.
Pearce led charge up the hill, his
usen giving vent to their enthusiasm by
terrific yel)s. The men of McCulloch
then took heart and stood fast As soon
as the Arkansans had planted their COL
ors on the line with Prices the whole
army moved forward, and, although the
Federal fire moved down the Confeder-
ates like grass, for the moment the
front regiments under Sturgis, who had
succeeded Lyon in command, gave way.
A second charge broke the main line,
and the battle was over. Sturgis with
drew his troops slowly, the guns of Tot
tens battery covering the retreat.
Pearce says, 1--WE watched the retreat
ing enemy through our fieldglasses, glad
to see him CO."
The Confederates were as badly pun
ished at Wilson's creek as were the
Federals. Their ammunition was ex-
hausted, their undisciplined ranks shaky,
and the leaders feared to risk q pursuit
of the "dying foe" In fact, the chief
tains and the aids formed a group up
on the center of Oak hill, with a cor
don of cannon in front to keep up their
spirits. Not until day had passed did
the generals know how complete had
been the disaster to their enemies.

A Word About Timothy.

Timothy seed is not so good to pre-
cede wheat as clover. The roots are too
hard and too long time is required for
them to decay. The soil is kept open
too long. It holds less water and wears
out sooner. Timothy is an exhaustive
crop. 1t is especially hard on the sur
face Of the soil. For some years have
adopted the plan Of putting in winter
wheat as the first crop on sod rather
than corn. see no reason for changing.

consented, and as soon as they were
outside Page proposed that as each was
armed, they take each other by the left
hand and shoot out the quarrel, the

agreed, and then with left hands
clasped they drew pistols and began
firing. Each man fired five shots.
When friends arrived Morgan was
found dead and Page was dying.
