DOUBLE CRoPs.-For land that is
we'll manured every year, why not
raise several crops? We have now
sold over $40 worth of radishes off land
that we expect the principal crop yet.
In the spring when we sow parsnips,
we drop few radish seeds with the
parsnips. The radishes come up and
show where the parsnip rows are,
which you can hoe with a garden hoe,
and thereby keep down the weeds.
About a month after planting, the rad
ishes can be pulled /; the parsnips are
then very small yet and will not be
injured any. After the early radishes
were sown few weeks, we sowed our
late celery patch full, which are sold
now and the celery has taken its place.
(Radishes can also be sowed between
cucumber hills and between potato
rows.) Lining the ground will keep
radishes from getting wormy. We sell
quite lot of summer onions green for
table use. Before we pull them we sow
endive or lettuce, or plant beans or
pease between the rows. (Red beet
plants can also be planted between the
rows) After the onions are pulled,
the second lot can be weeded and hoed.
After our first crop of pease are over,
the ground is plowed and sowed with
a second crop of peas. After the early
potatoes are worked for the last time,
beans, pease, cucumbers, cabbages,
cauliflower, corn (for roasting ears), or
tomato plants can be placed between
the rows. Late celery will also do
good between early potatoes. We sell
thousands of celery plants to people
who live in town. They plant them
between their early potatoes because
they haven't any other ground to spare.
After our our early lettuce is all pull
ed, we dig trenches and plant celery.
We sow parsnips with red beets in the
spring, then thin out parsnips TO about
16 or Is inches. The red beets are
then pulled away from parsnips for
early punching. We have made use of
these plans for many years with sue
cess.-Miss Elizabeth L. Sharbaugh in

PRIDE AND THE FALL.

Mr.. John Morrison, a successful
commercial traveller, has spent great
part of his career in hotels, and one OF
his theories has been that the mind can
be so trained that a hotel fire ought
not to distract the reasoning faculties
when presence of mind is needed. He
impressed his theory strongly upon
Mrs. Morrison by instructing her how
to act if they were ever in hotel that
was on fire.
He and his wife were aroused from
their slumbers one night by an alarm.
The hotel in which they had their
rooms was on fire, and there was con-
fusion and tumult among the guests.
"Now is the time to put into prac-
tice what have always preached to
you, my DEAR" said the gentleman.
"Don't get excited. Put on all your
indispensable apparel and take your
time. Don't lose your head. Just
watch me-"
He calmed Mrs. Morrison's anxiety,
handed her the articles necessary to
her toilet, put on his collar and cuffs,
took his watch from under his pillow
and placed it in his pocket, put on his
hat, and walked with Mrs. Morrison
out of the burning building into the
street.
Just then Mrs. Morrison for the first
time glanced at her husband.
"Now, my DEAR" he said when they
were safe, "don't you see what a grand
thing it is to keep cool and act with a
deliberate purpose in an emergency
like this? Here you are dressed and
over yonder are several ladies in COM
plete dishabille."
"You are right, john" she said, ''it
is grand thing to keep cool and act
deliberately, but if had been you l
would have stayed in the room long
enough to put on my trousers. Tit

STRAWBERRY PARAGRAPHS.

The following paragraphs are taken
from Bulletin No. SO of the West Vir-
ginia Experiment station:
No landowner should be without a
strawberry patch.
No fruit will return greater income
for the time and money expended than
the strawberry.
Pistillate plants usually bear the
largest fruits; but perfect Towering
sorts must be planted close by to insure
perfect pollenation and crop of fruit.
1t is remarkably early and remarka-
bly, late crops that return the profits
in strawberry culture.
Care in grading the fruit pays better
with the strawberries than with any
other crop. Make three grades in
quality of fruit. The results will be
gratifying.
Use only neat, clean packages of full
size.
Crop failures are less frequent with
strawberries than with any other small
fruit.
Good plants, carefully set: well ten
ded and the fruits marked in attractive
packages, are sure to return the grow
er satisfaction.
For general plantations, select only
we'll tried sorts. Varieties are local
hence, failure is more likely to result
from dabbling largely in novelties than
from any other single cause.
Test the novelties in small way.
Do not venture a years return upon
an untried sort.
The best berry is that which posses.
ses attractive appearance with shipping
qualities, good size, productiveness and
general vigor of plant.
Southern exposures with quick soil
and light mulch, if any, for early crop.
A north hillside and heavy mulch
for the late crop.
Never use old sod land for straw
berry patch.

SAwDUsT MANURE.-I notice the
majority of farmers are down on saw
dust as fertilizer. l am not, and |
believe in it thoroughly from exper-
ience. 1 have tried straw, leaves and
manure by ITSELF. and sawdust beats
all. Bed your horses on it all winter,
and next spring take it out and put it
under your cotton and corn, and the
corn will hold its own in drouth a
good deal better, and the sawdust
holds moisture and keeps the land
loose around the stalks of corn and
cotton. The secret is not to let the
sawdust get dry after mixing it with
stable manure, and if bugs trouble the
corn, ETC., you can mix with ashes or
lime, which will make the compost
better. believe that sawdust is a
good thing to loosen and pulverize our
hard soils. H. A. COOLEY.

KEROSENE For HEN LICE.-The
liberal use of kerosene in the chicken
house where the lice reside will prove
very effectual. Kerosene and lice
have never kept on friendly terms and
they have never kept each other com.
pany for more than 10 minutes. The
hens and pullets that stagger around
and act queerly are gradually giving
up the ghost because of lice on their
heads. Saturate the feathers of the
head with kerosene and note the i'm
provement. Never mind about "lice-
killers" for which you will have to pay
a price out of proportion to the value
of your flock.

TlEsnAY MORNING. April .. 1859.
.ccount of His Thrilling Career for
the South.
From the Confederate Veteran. l

One of the purest, braVcst, noblest
of those who poured their blood as a
libation on the affairs of freedom in
defense of the rights of the States
was John Yates Beall. In lonely
prison cell and on the cruel scaffold,
his faith never wavered, his courage
never failed. his devotion to his land
never faltered. He was executed
on Governors Island, in New York
Harbor, on the 34th day of February,
1865, by the Federal military author
tiles, on the charge of piracy, of
being guerrilla, violating the laws
of war, and being a spy.
He solemnly protested his limo
cence, saying: " protest against
the execution of this sentence. 1t is
murder! ] die in the service and
defense of my country. 1 have
nothing more to say" A brief ac-
count of his life and service will show
10 the readers of the Veteran a man
of stainless honor, a soldier of high
est courage, Christian of sublime
faith. We owe it to ourselves, to
our cause, and to the memory of the
dead, to do honor to one who proved
himself so worthy of our love and re-
spect in circumstances most trying
and pathetic. Let not the name and
deeds of him who made such sacri-
fee for the cause we loved and
fought for be forgotten.
John Yates Beall was descended
from liberty-loving ancestors. In
his veins flowed the blood of the
Howards, of England, and the Nc
Gregors, of Scotland-noted names
in the border warfare of the early
days.
He was born on the 1st day of Jan
uary, 1885, in circumstances of af-
duence. He received an excellent
education, graduating at the Univer-
sitY of Virginia
The death of his father left him. a
youth of scarcely twenty one years,
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1899-04-04

in charge of a large estate in the
beautiful Valley of Virginia, with the
care of his mother, four sisters, and
a younger brother upon him.
The beginning of the war in 1861
found him dwelling in lovely
country, with ample means, surround
ed by congenial friends; gentleman
of fine culture, prominent citizen,
Jealous member of the Episcopal
Church. He was devoted to his
family, and loved his native State
with chivaIrous affection. He loved
the Union, too, with deep and intel
ligent devotion. Everything in his
circumstances made him deprecate
war. But he was thorough adher-
ent to the Virginia school of politics,
believing in the doctrine of States
rights and when he felt Virginia s
rights were threatened, and that her
honor was at stake, there could be
no hesitation as TO his duty. He felt
that the very nature of the Union
was perverted by triumphant fac
ton, and, forsaking ease and comfort
he offered himself for defense of his
conntry. He enlisted as private
in a company from jefferson Coun-
ty, which formed part of the Second
Virginia Regiment and of the inmor-
tai '' Stonewall Brigade"
But his service was short in the in
fantry. On the 10Th of October,
1861, being at home for short
while, he took part in an engagement
near by, between Col. Turner Ashby
and the enemy. While leading a
successful charge he was desperately
wounded; aud from that wound he
never recovered, being discharged
by medical examining board.
But he could not remain idle.
Returning from the South, where lie
had sought restoration, ne was with
Stonewall jackson in his Valley cam
paign. His health, still feeble, pre-
vented his following that great lead
er in the further campaigns of 1862.
He then left. his home and made
his way to Iowa, and thence into
Canada, where he remained until
January, 1868.
While in Canada he gathered infor.
nation and conceived the plan of res.
cuing Confederate prisoners along
the lakes, and placing privateers on
their waters. These plans while
sanctioned by the Confederate Gov.
erment, were not attempted for more
than year.
Returning to Richmond in Feb
uary, 1868, he was appointed acting
Master in the navy and was known
