FOLLOW ROTATION.
Good Results Can Only BE Obtained
when the Prescribed Lines Are
Adhered To.

A proper rotatio is of prime impor-
tauce, but one cannot have its good
results and continually break in upon
it's prescribed lines. Many make no
effort to pursue a well-detined policy.
Others follow a rotation after n fash
ion. but violate its rules upon very
slight preteXts. If rotation is good
for part of a field, it is good for all OF
it, and the part interfered with is al
ways the poorest part of the field, the
very part needing systematic care.
Practical farmers have found that
careful rotation not only increases the
quantity and improves the quality of all
crops grown, but gradually improves
the texture d the fertility of the soil.
In the face of these well-known facts
farmers will break their rotation,
when with little effort it might have
been kept intact. Perhaps clay
point of three or four acres is poorly
seeded to clover. Clearly the right
thing to do would be to reseed in the
spring when seeding the wheat land.
But no, this man plows it for corn.
What has he done? He has deprived
the soil of the renovating crop, and
has subjected it to the hard task of
growing two consecutive crops, a
task hard even for the best of SOIL
| Nor is this all. The next time in the
rotation that this field is seeded to
clover, it will be found still less able
to grow a good crop without liberal
quantities of manure. In n rotation of
crops, no part of the soil intended for
the plow should be pastured. Don't
pasture young clover, for it needs a
good growth to insure it against freez-
ing out. Don't pasture what is to be
broken in the spring, as it has ten
dency to make clods, and twentieth
century farming is not to be done
among clods. Soil, climate and mar
ket must determine what your rota-
ton is to be, and when it is once es-
tablished treat it with respect.-A. N.
Springer, in Agricultural Epitomist.

How to Lay Out Lawns.

A good and fairly well-kept lawn is
the foundation for all decorative eff
feet. Make it as continuous as possi-
BILE. With most people the term lawn"
is associated with thick, closely cut
mat of green. This, with the water
facilities and time at the disposal of
the average farmer, is rarely to be
secured. Such a lawn is desirable, but
not Indispensable, nor is it necessary
that the grading be perfect. A slope
from the house is, of course, prefer
able. The same preparation and care
that most farmers give their meadows
if there isn't time for more-will,
with the proper seed, secure fairly
good lawn. OF course, as with any OF
his crops, the better the preparation
the better the results. For seed use
pure blue grass, with a little red-top
and white clover if wanted. Cheap
"lawn mixtures" are to be avoided
they are mixtures" usually of old and
poor grass seeds and weeds.-Farm-
ers' Voice.

cock now gallantly advanced to the
charge. Longstreet from the crest of
the hill and from the stone wall at it's
base opened upon the advancing col
umn with fire which in Is minutes de-
stroyed half of Hancock's division, the
remainder falling back in good order.
Gen. Burnside at this juncture came
upon the field, and, against the pro-
tests of Gen. Hooker, ordered that Of
ficer to make an assault on Marye's
Hill with the reserve. They made that
charge without load in their guns,
but alas before they could use the
bayonet they were crushed and hurled
back torn and bleeding, leaving half
the division dead and wounded upon
that awful field. Night had now come,
and the battle was ended; but out upon
that weird field and in the hastily inn
provised hospitals there lay dead and
wounded more than 10000 of the brav-
est soldiers that ever died for their
country.

home. Gen. Sherman's army was in
the neighborhood, and one day my
brother-in-law invited the gener;s
and his staff to dinner. Gen. sherman
had been in the house only short
time before he said: '"By the way,
who is the sick man?'
"A live rebel said my sister.
after dinner, just as Gen. Sher-
man was ready to leave the house, he
stepped to the bedroom door, and,
looking at the wounded confederate,
said:
Young man. you possibly may be
president of the United States some
day and then turning his head and
looking out of the door he added,
grimly, or be hanged
Years afterward my brother was
in Washington, and called on Gen.
Sherman and told him who he was.
Gen. sherman was delighted. He in
troduced my brother to his friends,
and made him tell the story over and
over again"
Continuing, Maj. Trezevant said:
Gen. sherman and Gen. BraXton
Bragg cordially hated each other dur
ing the war and for some time after
ward. They were classmates at
West Point, and their two armies
clashed on bloody battlefields more
than once. Another classmate was
Samuel Bell Maxey, United States
senator from Texas following the
war. After AppomattoX Bragg was
en- l,.sf
where he became chief engineer of
the Gulf. Colorado & Santa Fe rail-
road, with poor pay and plenty of
hard work. The office of the company
was at Galveston, where Gen. Bragg
made his headquarters. Senator
MaNey knew that Gems. Sherman and
Bragg had cordially detested each
other during the war. One day in
Washington Senator Maxey and Gen.
Sherman got to talking over old
times, when suddenly Gen. sherman
said:
by the way, Sam, what is Brax-
ton doing?
Senator Maxey told him about his
former classmate. Sherman looked
thoughtful for minute, then he
said:
Sam, when you GO home to Texas
tomorrow you go and see BraXton,
and tell him that if he'll take the
place L will have him appointed in
spectoF general of the army in the
southwest BraXton is good dis
ciplinarian. and he will fit into that
job all right
"The pathetic part of it all was"
added Maj. Trezcvant, that Gen.
Bragg never knew of the magnanim-
| ity of his former classmate, as he
died of apopleXy n day or two after
Gen. Sherman had his conversation
with Senator MaXey."

Torture Said TO Have Been Prac-
ttced I'm the Philippines.
Gen. Frederick Funston, in discuss
ing the water cure" form of tor
ture charged against the soldiers in
the Philippines, said that he had
never seen the "water cure" applied,
but he had heard it described. 1.-THE
victim is bound and n canteen forced
into his mouth" said the general.
"His head is thrown upward and
back and his nose grasped by the
fingers of the torturer. Strangula-
tion follows as a matter of course.
when the victim is about suffocated
the application is released and he is
given a chance to talk on recovery or
take another dose of it. The opera
tion is brutal beyond doubt, but
hardly fatal.
1.-THE charges which have just re-
futed at the request of the war de-
partment was most vague. 1t was
made by n soldier and to the effect
that he had helped administer the
water cure to 100 natives That is
the kind of rot soldier is apt to
write home when business is dull
and he has three or four beers un-
der his jacket to help his imagina-
tion. Nothing of the kind ever oc-
Cured with the knowledge of the Of
ficers or ever occurred at all, for
that matter"

EuIiun son rith Humu..

One man took 70 acres, which had
grown corn for years and yielded 80
bushels of ears, and seeded it at the
last working with crimson clover. The
following spring, when the clover was
IN bloom, it was plowed under and the
soil well narrowed. The last of June
It was seeded with cow peas, with a
little South Carolina rock. The COW
peas were plowed under when 1s inches
high, which required three mules and
heavy plow. Wheat was sown In the
fall, month after the plowing. The
yield was IS bushels to the acre, and it
has given 12O bushels of corn since.
Filling the soil with humus is very
profitable.

One of the Scottish regiments in
South Africa has for its regimental pet
a huge male ostrich, which has proved
itself OH several occasions friend in
deed. Its first appearance came about
in this way. A party had been sent to
destroy farm house that had been the
hiding place of the assassins of several
of the men, and, when the house had
been empticd of its occupants. the
horses and cattle driven off, fearful
noise was heard coming from a little
clubhouse at the other end of the house.
On opening the door, out stalked the
huge bird quite bewildered. Some pro-
posed shooting it, but by general con-
sent 1t was to be allowed to go. 1t
followed the party. and ut once INSTALL
ed himself as one of them. They fed
him with part of their own rations, and
petted him all round. He loves to
march at the head of n party of the
regiment, and If the regiment is ON the
road he is sure to be ut the head of the
column.
On outpost duty he is valuable
scout, and gives timely warning of APP
preaching danger. Twice has he saved
the picquet from being cut off, and he
is looked on by all as real hero.
He had been christened by the name
of "Bobs." and knows his name well.
The regiment does not know what to
do with him when the war is at an end.
but hope to bring him home.
