HIS SILENT MANNER.
Here comes a man bred in the
army. He had been reared a
gentleman. He deSpiSed hum,
bug. He loved order, and every.
thing and everybody in his place.
He told the ladies at Culpepper
Court House in 1861, who came
out to greet him, to go home.
In Richmond they said he had no
manners; he attended to his bust
ness and spoke little. They sent
him to Western Virginia. a small
theatre. when Beauregard was at
Manassas and Johnson at Win
chester; he went, and made no
comment. The campaign failed.
they called him Turvey top, he
did not attempt to excuse himself.
Soon We find him in a blaze of
glory. the hero of the battles
around Richmond. He is still
silent. He marches to Manassas
and achieves another great vie

DISINFECTING SEEDS.
The Only Way to Prevent the Trans
mission of Scab and Blight from
Crop to Crop.

Nobody will deny that the potato
scab is often transmitted from one crop
TO another by means of infected seed
potatoes Practical experience and sci
entific investigation are agreed on that
point. 1t seems also pretty well estab
lished that some of the green smuts are
propagated and spread from spores car
ried over on the seed grain. The need
of disinfecting seed-potatoes (by soak
ing them in one-min solution of zorro
sive sublimate), and Of subjecting seed
grains TO a cleansing treatment las, for
instance, a copper sulphate wash), n
order TO protect the next crop from the
ravages of disease (scab in one case
smut in the other), is now being gem
orally recognized. But we are still
very much in the dark in regard to the
extent to which other, especially veg
eta bile, seeds may be the means of trans
uniting fungus diseases from crop 10
crop and from year to year. l am
convinced, however. that at least Gel
cry seed is frequently infected with the
spores of celery blight. and when plant
ed promiscuously is liable to produce
the disease again IN the seedlings IElS
is the only theory on which l can ex-
plain the appearance last spring of cell

PAVING With STONES.
IL Car BE Done with Good Eject on
All farms Where the New Ma
ferial Is 30 Be Found

Since il Is practicable for cities 20
purchase cobble stones for paving
streets and cutters. il seems plain that
such material would be just as useful
IN the farm where in many instances
L may be had for the hauling The
fact is that small-sized stones If right
~ placed form a most excellent sur
face material for places which become
soft in winter from driving or tramp
ing Especially for a hillside road
which washes into ruts after every
rain, know of nothing better than the
stone pavement.
To lag pavement of this kind, one
must resolve 10 do the work carefully
and as thoroughly as he can. If right
~ done there viii be no unpleasant jar
to the vehicle when driving over it.
The foundation or under surface should
be solid. Use very little if any loose
earth on which to lay the stones. Aft
er some practice it Will not particularly
matter whether the grade is perfect
or not. If there are low places like
TO utilize these for the larger stones.
When paving a roadway place the
larger stones in the center and the
smaller at the sides. There is knack
of laying the stones which is not cas-
lily described, but is readily acquired
If one is willing to experiment patient
". The stones will be of various shapes.
4 stone twice as large as the first Is
a good size. The stone should be rath-
er long or oval. The best position Is
to set the stone on the end The next
best is to set OF the edge, and the worst
is to set il fiat on the side. They should
be disposed so that each stone you
lay will help TO keep into place the
ones behind it, and when the job is done
you can walk over it without disturb
ing any stone you touch. After the
work is done spread just sufficient
gravel over il to fill the crevices and
10 more. Clay may be used as sub
stitute, but gravel in some respects is
better.
We have used stones Cor paving horse
stalls with good results. Rather small
er stones than the above should be
used, and they should be selected
as to size. More care should be taken
10 prevent irregularities in the surface.
and if any stone protrudes slightly il
should be driven down with 4 sledge
hammer. Go over the newIy-laid sur
face with a hardwood scantling placed
on edge, and struck with a sledge or
maui. Use fine gravel or earth as be
fore. No doubt IL would be still bet
ter to cover instead with layer of
cement. In this case the floor would
probably be as good as the cement
floor, but at less expense because Of
less cement. We have laid stone pave
Inents al all seasons of the year. and
had we the stone in abundance we
would use they in preference TO gravel,
