AGRICULTURAL TOPICS
Using Gypsum ProGtabIy.

Gypsum or land plaster attracts
moisture. Hence it is best used for
crops that like cool, moist weather,
and are most injured by drought. 1t
is a good crop for potatoes but may do
injury to corn ii applied early when
the young plant needs all the moisture
it can get. Small grain crops often
suffer from too hot and dry weather.
But gypsum sown on these i'll summer
may cause rust on the leaves, by keep
ing them corcred with dew too much
cf the time.

Hot Water as an Insccticide.

Insects love hot weather but no. hot
water. Most of the slugs that attack
vegetation will die if water OF the tenn
pcrature of93 degrees to 40 degrees IS
thrown upon them. No kind OF vege-
tation will be injured by water as hot
as this. If it is to be used IN spray
ing, as is most convenient il dealing
with rose and grape slugs, the temper
&ture may be several degrees higher,
or as much rs 145 degrees without
danger of injuring the vegetation that
the water comes III contact with.

Keeping Fertilizers in stock.

4 supply OF some concentrated
manure ought to be on hand at all
times, so as to apply during the grow
ing season to plants that are not do
ing well. Most farmers on buying
fertilizers find at the last that they
had not enough to fertilize the entire
crop, and in the grains especially, they
often lose twice the cost of sufficient
to fertilize the whole. All the hen
manure should not be used in early
spring. Keep some for the late-head-
ing cabbage. 1t will pay to do SC.

Rolling the Potato Ground.

After potatoes are planted, the first
thing to be done is to go over the
ground with farm roller. This will
pack the soil above the set and enable it
to make vigorous growth as soon as
roots and shoots start. When potatoes
are planted by hand, stepping on the
hill after the seed is covered answers
the same purpose as rolling. But the
roller and the drag to roughen the soil
may be used alternately until the pota-
toes are above the ground. Then the
cultivator between the rows will best
keep the field clear.

"KENTUCKY."

TCol. John A. Joyce, "The Sweet Singer
Of Old Kaintuck," composed the following
pretty poem to be read by Miss Christine
Bradley, daughter of Governor Bradley,
at the christening Of the new battleshp,
Kentucky, at Newport News:]
THE KENTUCKY.
The battleship Kentucky from her baptis-
Shall ever prove victory while Truth re-
mains in power,
The grandest Of her sisters, the staunchest
of her types,
The glory of the ocean that floats the stars
and Stripes.
The land OF Boon and Kenton and home
of Love and Truth,
Where Blue Grass beauties flourish and
age renews its youth,
Sends greetings to our battleship, the
brayest OF the brave.
Triumphant in her launching proud mon
arch of the wave.
We christen thee with water from Lin
coins purling spring.
Where flowers bloom in winter and mock
ing birds must sing;
Where sunshine ever fingers on hilltops,
glade and glen,
Around the pleasant pathway of fair
women and brave men.
Glide onward in thy mission, strike first in
every fight!
Remember in deep trouble that right is
always right;
And when in bloody battle upon the ocean
foam,
Strike boldly for the Nation and ''Old
Kentucky Home"

One Glance at Lee.
(Gen. Forsyth in Harper's.)

l took my first and last look at the
great Confederate chieftain. This is
what l saw: A finely formed man
apparently about sixty years of age,
well above the average height, with a
clear ruddy complexion-just then
suffused by a deep crimson flush,
that rising from his neck overspread
his face and even slightly tinged his
broad forehead, which, bronzed where
it had been exposed to the weather,
was clear and beautifully white where
it had been shielded by his hat-deep
brown eyes, firm but well-shaped
Roman nose, abundant gray hair,
silky and fine in texture, with a full
gray beard and moustache neatly
trimmed and not overlong, but which
nevertheless almost completely con-
cealed his mouth. A splendid uni
form of Confederate gray that had
evidently seen but little service,
which was closely buttoned about
him, and fitted him to perfection.
An exquisitely mounted sword, at
tached to gold-embroidered Russia
leather belt, trailed loosely on the
floor at his side, and in his right hand
he carried adbrimmed soft gray
hat, encircled by golden cord, while
in his left he held a pair of buckskin
gauntlets. Booted and spurred, still
vigorous and erect. he stood bare
headed looking out of the open door
way, sad-faced and weary: a soldier
and gentleman, bearing himself in
defeat with an all-uncon scious dignity
that sat well upon him.

sponsibility to the case of an explos-
ion from a fixed mine, the location OF
which was necessarily known to the

intimation was conveyed to the COM
mander of the visiting vessel, anchor
ed, in unconscious ignorance, over
such hidden source of danger.
He says: 1.-The Maine proceeds to

her intention to do SO, is welcomed to
the harbor by the public authorities
and directed to be moored in a place
picked out by the government. Sup
pose that while she is in this position

pedo and Intentionally destroyed her

and that some failure of watchfulness
on the part of the officers in charge of
mines and torpedoes, and the means
by which they might be exploded,
enabled or allowed opportunity to
Spanish citizen, whether loyalist,
rebel or an autonomist, but all
equally subject to the power of Spain,
to fire the mine or torpedo? In
either case | think there is a clear
right to demand indemnity, apology
and reparation to the fullest extent
1t cannot be said that this is an
extreme or unjust view OF the law or
of the obligations Of Spain. The
court of inquiry lay no stress upon
the anonymous letter received at the
Counsel-Generar office or upon the
testimony of the witness (name with
held) who testified to the converse
ton overheard by him Of Spanish
officers. indicating their knowledge of
a plot to blow up the Maine. 1t SIM
ply stands to reason that no single
individual could have planned or
effected either the location or explos-
ion of such an engine of destruction
as sufficed to blow up a huge battle
ship like the Maine. If the clues we
have referred to, and which are men,
toned by the court, could have been
followed up, the presumption of
Spain's responsibility might have
been made even stronger than it is.

Wa Wounded I'm Cuba.
Captain A. @. Duoat, Twenty-fourth
infantry, severely wounded in the IA
nous charge by American troops up
San Juan hill, near Santiago, on July
/, is r~ecuperating strength at the Ducat
homestead In Downer's Grove, Ills.
Captain Ducat looked pale and worn
the other afternoon, but is improving.
A Mauser bullet pierced through both
hips and ranged down into the right
leg, causing an injury that war at first
reported fatal. OF the conduct Of the
American soldiers he tells glowing
things. He said recently:
1--WE had been pursuing the Span
iards up the hill under heavy loss to
both sides when I was struck. My men
had been deployed and were making
targets Of the fleeing enemy when I felt
what seemed to me to be a terribly hard
rap. strong enough to whiz me about
several times. Then I fell, and a dark
mist came before my eyes, and Twas
seized with faintness. That is the way
1t feels to be struck by a Mauser bullet.
Some OF my men moved me back Of the
line of action, bpt the rain of lead was
30 severe that I was moved twice after
that, and finally found myself in the
dry bed Of a river. I could still hear
the shells whistle over me and witness
the impact, and shock caused by the bull
lets Of the enemy as they hit the oppo-
Gte bank. I left siboney July 5 and
embarked on the Cherokee. On the voy-
age we saw the burning and wrecked
Spanish battleships and scores Of dead
Spaniards floating near them, as If I'M
