EARLY CULTIVATION.
Work That Pays for Itself More
Than Twice over.

VIII all cultivated crops it is the
early cultivation that is the most impor-
tant. The weeds are easiest killed when
they nrst make their appearance above
ground. and IL the weeds can be kept
down and the soil in good filth until
the plants get well started to growing
it is much easier 10 maintain good
growth. One decided advantage in hav-
ing the soil well prepared when the seed
is planted is that it will be possible TO
begin the cultivation earlier.
In most cases when the cultivation is
commenced in good season in the gar
den sharp steel rake or prong hoe, and.
in the field. a good smoothing harrow

ical implements. Properly used. they
viii destroy the weeds that may have
started up and at the same time win
fine the soil and keep it in good tilth.
With all crops the cost of cultivating
is quite an item. and when the condi-
ton Of the soil win admit using them
In no way can the weeds be killed out
so effectually and the soil be so thor
oughly fined as when these implements
are used.
Then the cultivator can. be used, tax
ing pains to work as close TO the plants
as possible. There is no advantage in
working the soil deep. Thoroughly stir
the surface. and better growth can be
secured than by stirring deep, while
shallow cultivation is easier on man
and team
Under ordinary conditions one good
narrowing and three good civilizations
should be given within the first six
weeks of plant growth Once the plants
get well started TO growing. it is COM
paratively easy to keep them growing.

The best way 10 get rid Of the pest is
10 kill the maggot. This may be done
by squeezing them out Place the
thumbs near the base OF the swelling
and press firmly until the grub is
forced out. To prevent the attacks Of
the fly in summer. a mixture of four
ounces flowers Of sulphur. one gill of
spirits Of tar with a quart of train oil
rubbed along the spine, loins and ribs
is useful. Train oil can be used alone.

severe stories are told of their treat
ment while at Camp Thomas. One
of the officers had much to say con-
corning the rations that were dealt
out to them. Over 700 pounds OF
magotty meat was turned over TO his
company. This meat was sold as
were many other articles of food thai
were not fit for food. This meat sold
as low as one cent a pound, but the
boys were glad to get rid of it at even
this figure. Coffee that came from
the commissary department was
dealt ont to other parties for five cents
pound. The boys spent their money
for better food than the government
furnished them and spent lots of il
too.
Most of the members of the regi.
ment speak in the highest terms of all
the officers, with one exception.
There is slowly coming to light much
that reflects on this officer and if his
treatment of the men finds its way
into the newspapers il viii create a
sensation.
ave were bled by every southerner
who had anything to sell" said one
of the men and as an instance he tells
of their having to pay five cents a
glass for water when they arrived at
Rossville after their eight-mile march
to start for Vermont.

under these tents looking like sleeves
that the boys have had to sleep in the
drenching rains of last week at Fort
Ethan Alien.
Frank Benoit of Co. l., who was

Excursions brought about 1900
visitors to camp Sunday. There were

Gen. o. o. Howard addressed the

Another case of shameful neglect
has come TO light. Fred l.. Hinman
of Co. l., Newport, was taken to the
hospital as TT. Mcpherson sick with
typhoid fever. His mother was noti-
fed OF his serious condition, but
heard nothing until lately rumors
came that he was dead. She wrote
te the division hospital and learned
that he had been dead and buried two
weeks. His regiment or company Of
ficers were not notified and knew
nothing Of it. Death No. II.
