two or three buds above ground. A
crop of potatoes or strawberries may
be grown between the rows the first

allow two canes to grow the first year,
cutting back each year to three buds,
again allowing two canes to grow.

ordered to South Carolina. The Third
Regiment of tho Wise Legion was
subsequently detached from the army
IN Western Virginia and ordered to the
South Carolina coast, where it was
known IS the Sixtieth Virginia Regi-

"Upon seeing my brother on this
horse near Pocotallgo, in South Caro-
Ina, Gen raj Lee at once recognized
the horse, and again inquired of him
pleasantly about lis colt. My brother
then offered him the horse as O gift,
which the General promptly declined,
and at the same time remarked: If you
will willingly sell me the horse, I will
gladly use 1t for week or so to learn |
ITS qualities Thereupon my brother
had the horse sent to General Lees |
stable. In about a month the horse |
was returned to my brother, with a
noto from General Lee, stating that
the animal suited him, but that he
could no longer use so valuable horse
in such times unless it were his own;
that if my brother would not ell,
please to keep the horse with many
thanks.
This was in February, 1862. At
that time l was in Virginia Oh the sick
