Piekett,s Charge.

Ever since the suppression of the rel
bellion historians have differed as to
whether Lee or LOngstreet was respoH4
sible for the disaster at Gettysburg
the friends of each claiming the other
was to blame l was present ON thef
scene of the great battle, few years
ago, when the great soldiers, bota-
Union and Confederate, who had min
gled in that bloody fray met there
again for the first time since the men-
orable events of thirty years before
Longstreet made little concealment
then regarding his contention that it
was Lee who ordered the disastrous
Pickett charge and lost the day. On
that occasion many errors of history
were recorded The guide who direct
ed movements of the distinguished
party adopted a bold move to surprise
LOngstreet into declaration OF BIS
feeling on the subject. Said he, stand
ing beside the Confederate leader, who
held a d-gathering hand to his
dulled ear: when the flower Of Viz
ginia's chivalry, Pickett's division, ar
rived on the night OF the second day.
General Lee determined to employ
these fresh troops to make an assault
the next day on Cemetery hill under
cover of a terrific cannonading by Gen
Alexanders guns, while an assault in
the rear was to be made at the same
time by General Stuart's cavalry, who
had been sent around to the left for
that purpose It is generally believed,
General Longstreet, that he ordered
this in the face Of your protest; that he
commanded Pickett to take this COM
handing position occupied by the
Union troops"
Longstreet's face glowed with sup
pressed excitement. In voice that
showed no quaver of age, and at the
same time striking forth with his right
arm as though he would snite foe,
he cried out: ''He said, Wen strike
them right here. Wen strike them
right here" And with repetition OF
Lees words the arm again shot forth.
The guide told how Pickett's men hae
marched to taeir death across the
wheat field.
What is the distance from here to-
where they emerged from the wood!
asked Longstseet, abruptly.
Exactly one mile and quarter
was the response.
"Ahv' exclaimed the. veteran. lee
said before the charge that the distance
was LAO yards | said it was mile
/ was nearer right than he. In ali his
tory prior to that time there were never
charges of a greater distance than 600
or 700 yards Then there was never
before charge OF such length" Phil

Care of Sheep.

There are two things that the sheep
need as much as any animals on the
farm. They need fresh air and they
need exercise. The sheep shed should be
so built that when it rains or SHOWS SO
that the sheep cannot take their daily
run in the field, the windows or upper
half doors can be opened to allow the
fresh air to enter freely. If they have
not been shorn they will not feel the
cold, and only those who grow winter
lambs shear in the fall. But whenever
the weather is suitable they should
have a run out in the field, not a yard
bare of grass and filed with mud and
manure, but in an open field. Even in
damp day they may be out for a
short time, but not long enough to get
their wool wet through. The uneasiness
of sheep when in pasture shows their
need of exercise. They viii not eat and
lie down as cow does. and some of the
smaller breeds are almost as ready to
Jump on a wall for the fun Of jumping,
as goats are.

Changing Plans.

The farmer who is continually chang
ing his breeds of stock or his fayorite
crops is very seldom a money! maker.
He is apt to find out that he made the
change just little too late. He sees
some one making money on beef cattle,
and he ahandons dairy farming to breed
fat cattle, only to learn that he ought to
have bred hogs. He tries hogs, and be-
comes convinced that sheep are more
profitable. He gives up crop that he
knows how to grow to take up some
speciality that his neighbor has found
a profitable one, and a few years ex-
perience teaches him how to grow it,
but it also teaches him that he could
have bought his experience much
cheaper We do not mean that a man
should not change his breeds of stock,
his crops or his methods of farming,
but he will do we'll to make his changes
gradually, and not part with good
thing every time he thinks any one else
has a better thing.

Making a Garden.


"a good garden is half the farm,
says one writer, and "the garden fur
nishes about one-half Of our living in
summer, and its products are on the
table every day in winter" says an
other, and neither Of them is a yege
tartan, though with liking for fresh
vegetables and fruits in season. To
have a good garden the first requisite
is a piece of strong but well-drained
land, well MANFRED. 1t should not be
shaded with trees, nor should it be on a
northerly slope, il possible to get a.
southerly or easterly slope. Certain
crops belong in a permanent garden,
and may be in one place for several
years. The pie plant, asparagus, the.
bush fruits and grapes or peach trees
may be on the south side Of high
board fence at the north end of the
garden. In front Of these the hotbeds
and cold frames may be permanent fix
lures. Onions do well for many years
in the same locality, and SO will celery
or carrots, though not SO long. Sweet
corn may follow sweet corn for many
years in the same place, and SO may
peas, but if it Is desired to put in an
other crop after peas or early corn, it
is not so easy to find the late crop that
grows we'll two years in the same 10
cality. Cabbages and turnips certain
~ will not. For this reason, when on
farm, we preferred to move our gar
den, or at least the peas, corn, vines
of all kinds, beans and all roots to a
new location every few years, or SO
often that we did not have the same
place Oftener than once in five OF six
years. Even for such crops as lettuce.
spinach, kale and dandelion new 10
cality is better than to continue them
for many years, though sometimes
they can be changed about with other
crops. But with only a village lot one
must change about, or omit some crops
for a few years to get insects and
fungous diseases out of the soil. If
one will take this trouble, and will be
sure to obtain good seed from reliable
seedsmen, and put in work enough to
keep it in good condition, the garden
will not only furnish half the living for
the family. but sales of surplus from
it may help greatly in buying the other
half-American Cultiyator.
Hotbeds.
Whoever has 4 hotbed in which to
start early plants for setting in the
garden should also have cold frame
into which he can transplant some of
them to give them more room and
harden them up a little before setting
them in the open ground. OF course
there are some who SOW SO late in the
hotbed that this is not necessary, but
they do not get their plants so well adj
yanced, and gain but q week or two
when they should gain as many
months. Many are at loss to know
when tie temperature is right for SOW
ing seed in the hotbed. The best way
is to uSe a thermometer, as one fairly
good can be bought for q few cents.
Plants which require much heat to
terminate in open air, like tomatoes,
peppers. egg plants or melons, should
go in when the heat is at or about 80
degrees, while cabbages. caulif1owers
and other medium early plants will do
better If the glass does not mark above
80 degrees, and lettuce or radish would
sprout readily at 20 degrees.-Ex-
change.

Well-Arranxed Apiary.


A well-arranged apiary that is simple
and convenient is thus described: The
hives are placed diagonally in the row
which runs southeast and northwest,
so that in each pair of rows the hives
front east in one and south in the other,
making each alternate alley free from
bees to be used rs a passageway to
work around the hives. The rows are
placed seven feet apart on centers, and
the hives four feet on centers. The
hives are so placed that a line drawn
from the rear of the first one will touch
the front Of that Immediately behind it.
There is one wide alley crOsSwise
through the center and in a large
apiary more alleys would be advisable.
Glover Meal.
Feed grinders are now made to grind
clover. the result being clover meal.
AS food for calves it has been found
excellent, the meal being scalded at
night and allowed to remain until
morning. For ducks, geese and chick
ems, when mixed with ground grain, it
serves as heterogeneous diet and adds
greatly to the value of the whole. AS
an addition to the food Of young pigs
it has given excellent results. When
scalded the clover meal swells, be-
comes soft and is very palatable. 1t is
not a substitute for clover hay for
adults, however, but should be used
where ground grain is made portion
Of the diet for young stock.
Killing Weeds.
When the land has been plowed in
the fall the farmer sometimes objects
to cultivating or crOss-plowing the
field early in the season because the
hardy weeds put in an appearance al
most before frost leaves the ground.
This is in favor of the farmer if he
will give the subject the proper view,
as he can destroy the weeds by loosen
ing the soil, allowing warmth to enter,
thus forcing the weeds to terminate, SO
as to destroy them before the seeding
of grain is done. The earlier the weeds
can be started the fewer there will be
later on lie the cultiTator is used fire.
auertly after the weeds begin to APP
pear.
Green Peas.
Green peas can be planted early, and
successive crops may be grown. For
an early supply use the dwarf varie-
ties, as they need no supports, but they
do not afford but one or two pickings.
For the later crops the tall kinds
should be used, and they will give bet
ter results, IL supported with sticks or
wire. Make the ground deep and fine,
and use manure literally if good crops
are expected.
To Cure a Kicking Cow.
When milking set your head tight in
her flank against her hip bone. When
she gets ready to kick, raising her foot.
push her over with your head; this will
shrow her off her balance and make her
put her feet down. This viii soon cure
her, unless she is born kicker. In
that case. fatten and sell her to the
butcher. C. Camerer.
