GENERAL PLEAscNToN DEAD.

Old Age Takes OF thu Famous Cavalry
eader After n Lie II Good Deeds.
Genera! Alfred Pleas0nton, one of the
most distinguished cavalry officers on the
Union side during the late Civil War, died
the other morning in Warrington.
His death resulted from old age. He had
no relatives nearer than Aieees and nephews.
For the past six wears he has lived the life
OF a %reeiuse, surrounded Eebooks aud enjoy
days. He received u comfortable pension,
which enabled him to pass his declining
years in comfort. He freely gave to less
fortunate and more needy army comrades.
General PleasoRton was born on June 7,
1873, was graduated f,om West Point IN
1874, and served in thu MEXICAN and civil
Wars with distinction. In 1865 he was
placed on the retired lis, of the arm with
the rank OF Colonel.

BREAKING HEAVY SOD.

Very deep ploughing is not necrs.
sary or even advisable to rot sod.
Three or four inch furrow turned
while moist in early spring will rot
more quickly and perfectly than the
same furrow turned deeper. But an
Iowa farmer thinks he has found a
still better way. That is to pillow two
burrows, first throwing the sod to a
depth of four inches, and following in
the same furrow with II stirring pillow,
which thoroughly breaks up the soil
below the sod, and then throws five
or six inches of this soil over it. On
land thus prepared he got n large crop
of corn without q weed, and the next
year the furrow to the entire depth
of the soil stirred was as mellow as nm
ash heap, and without n trace of sod.
In this case probably tho under soil
was vegetable mould and rich, and the
season was also a moist one. We have
seen many heavy sods made %unproduc-
tive for two or three years by turning
up too much clay sub-soil with the
sod. Sometimes in a dry season q
spring-turned sod will be found I'M.
rotted Mt the bottom of a deep fur
row, when clayey sub-soil has been
thrown over it. In such cases no
crop could be grown untii the old sod,
entirely killed. though not rotted, was
turned to the surface aud exposed to
air. 1t then decomposes very rapid
ly, but the deep ploughing means a
YEARS. loss of time. American Guilt
