About that time men of all sorts
were getting scarce. None was left able
to get south. The union cnlistments

draft followed. Large bounties were
offered for enlistments. The man who
had charge of the draft in st. Joe was

mention his name because he was the
worse-hated man, by southern people,
in Missouri. He was a man of brains;
an able lawyer, but one whose firmness
and determination made him the terror
of nonunionists.
Loans father-in-law had been pro-
scribed socially in the first days of the
war by the f. F. VS. of Sent Joe. He
was cantankerous old chap, and de-
spised by the secesh. He was in his
glory when he was assigned to run the
draft. With the assistance of his willy
son-in-law, Loan, he manipulated the
draft in such manner that every
southern man who was capable of bear
ing arms and who had money was
caught in the mesh. He knew that such
people would hire substitutes, and there
was always suspicion in the minds of
the secesh that the draft master was a
beneficiary in the bounty business.

have the seat back of the shade, instead
of in front of it, as shown in the illus

There may be some other mode that
will suit the machine you arc using. If
so, use it. The main idea is to have
shade. 1t is folly TO endanger life and
health by overheatihg and sunstroke,

sulphur for Soil Rot.

Experiments in New Jersey have
shown the great value of sulphur, which
leads all other substances in checking
the soil rot in sweet potatoes, it having
proved most effective in destroying this
disease. Four hundred pounds of sui
phur per acre were used, and the test
carried on for five years on the same
soil, which was badly infested with the
rot. The increase from sulphur was
nearly three times that Of the plats
where no sulphur was used. The in
crease of salable sweet potatoes was $50
per cent, and the increased profit at so
cents per bushel was $40 per acre.
