MEMoRIAL DAY.

Over third of . century ago in Co., lumbus, Ga, the first Memorial Day was celebrated There the-devoted wo- men of the South gathered with hearts torn and bleeding to decorate the graves of their Confederate dead.
 They, who had prayed, toiled and starved, for their Lowed Lest Cause'' tell in story and in song. of deeds of deathiess valor. dauntless courage: of battles gainst such odds that all the world applauded. while it stood as- founded, at the boundless bravery of the .Southiand's sons.
 The orator of that first Memorial Day was Col. James N. Ramsey, Geor- gia's gifted son. who so gailantly led the First Georgia" when the tocsin of war sounded its wild alarum. call ing her sons to battle for the right of State sovereignty.
 Now. they come not in council of war. but in sorrow to perpetuate for pesterity its stainless heritage.
 This beautiful custom born in the hearts of the consecrated women of Georgia, has spread till every State in the Sunny South has set aside one day for Memorial Day, when it lavishes with prodigal hand. its wealth of blos- som. its martial music, its pomp and pagantry; its matchless oratory: it's chiyalry, youth and beauty. as a mem oria1 for her noble sons who sweetly sleep till the arch angels trump shall sound reveille.
 With such teachings we do not fear the verdict of posterity.
 God of our fathers be with us yet" We can't forget. we can't forget.
 The North has borrowed our boauti- full custom and no wcelebrates Dec oration Day of her own. Thus honoring her illustrious dead. And since the years have softened the sectional bit- terness. we as a united country to-day. strew flowers alike on the graves of the blue and the graves of the grey.

Two forms of this substance appear on the
market. One under the name of formalin and
the other under the name of 40 per cent formalde-
hyde. These substances are absolutely identical,
and as the 40 per cent formaldehyde is cheaper.
owing to the fact that the word formalin is pro-
tected by a patent, the farmer of course will do
well to use the 40 per cent formaldehyde.

Christmas week a field was seeded with rust
proof oats. Very good preparation was given this
Held and a liberal dose of manure spread evenly
and narrowed in kept the oats growing fast. Two
bushels OF seed per acre was sown.
The second week in June this oat crop was five
feet tall, very even growth and a pretty sight.
when grain was in the "dough," the crop was cut
TOR hay, cured in cocks, and put in the horse
barn.
* l lift my hat right now to oat hay, and if nv
work stock could express their appreciation in a
poIte way, each animal would make a Chester
hlel1dlan bow. Their fine condition, quick step.
sleek coats all testified to the value of this oat
hay.
Inc d1gestlble contents of oat hay is given as
follows: Organic matter, $40 ner cent: protein.
.O47 per cent; carbohydrates, 1869 per cent: fat
.ol5 per cent. That is a pretty good showing.
July LIST this oat stubble showed green with
rag weed eight or ten inches high. The moving
machine clipped this close to the ground. the cut-
ting was cured and hauled to COW barn where
1t was fed to the COWS, causing an increase in
milk yield.
The third crop this year from this field was
cut September 9Th, being a magnificent growth of
native grasses four feet tall and as thick as
L ever saw. Two good mules had all they could
do to keep the machine going.
Ihe object of this writing is to show farmers
how simple is the way to provide plenty of hay.
Land we'll prepared, liberal manuring, careful
curing of the crops-that is all.
Thursday [ drove eight miles to visit nv son
to see if he will have any COW feed next winter
for his COWS; from what l saw [ think he will
be ready to feed a few COWS. His corn for silage
is an immense growth. One field of twenty acres
is extra fine: the rows are four feet wide. plants
in drill about eight to ten inches, corn ten feet
tall, and for silage use is well cared. He is Just
finishing a silo. It is round, twenty feet in d-
ameter, twenty-six feet deep, and calculated to
hold $50 tons of silage. The silo is being erected
eight feet from end of the COW barn. The
is a nine-inch brick wall, two feet
high. On the wall 2x4 twenty-four feet studs
were placed sixteen inches apart. On the inside
the first course of ceiling was Is and 616-feet
boards nailed to every stud; next a cheap quality
of tarred paper was tack to the wall; then anoth-
er course of ceiling plank was put on, making
Substantial and tight building. [ predict per-
keeping of silage III this tub. The cost will
not exceed 1925. The corn will be cut with Me-
harvester, then run through a No. -
Ohio cutter with blower. The machine will be set
20 cut one-half inch. This fine cutting causes closer
packing and more silage may be put into a tub
than if cut longer.

FUNGIcIDEs AND SPRAYING.
LII. Ammoniacal Solution of Copper Carbonate.

fruit. 1t may, therefore, be used upon fruits
in the latter stages of their ripening when the
~spotting that the bordeaux mixture causes would
preclude the use of that fungicide.
The mixture consists of a solution made by
dissolving copper carbonate in ammonia water
in the following proportions:
Copper carbonate ............ 6 ounces.
Ammonia, about .............. 3 plnts.
In preparing this solution, weigh out the proper
amount of copper carbonate, set a very small por-
ton of this aside, and dissolve the remainder of it
in ammonia, using only enough ammonia to dis
solve it, and then add the, portion of copper car
Donate which was reserved. This will insure that
you use no more ammonia than is necessary.
1t is better to have a little too much of the
carbonate in the solution than to have too much
of the ammonia. A strong solution made in this
way can now be diluted with the proper amount
of water. The copper carbonate may be pur-
chased directly from a drug store, or it may be
prepared on the farm.
To make copper carbonate, proceed as fol-
lows: Dissolve ten pounds of copper sulphate
(blue stone or blue vitrioD in ten gallons of wa
ter. Also dissolve twelve pounds of carbonate
soda in the same amount of water. Allow these
two solutions to cool, and then mix them slowly to
gether, stirring in the meantime. Allow the
mixture to stand about twelve hours to settle;
then pour off the liquid and add water in amount
equal to the liquid poured off. Stir thoroughly
and allow it to stand as before. Repeat this OPP
Grafton again and then drain off all the liquid
possible, and dry the blue powder which remains.
This powder is the copper carbonate.
THE COPPER sULPHATE SOLUTION.
A solution consisting of merely copper sulphate
and water may be used before the leaves appear to
kill the spores on the trunks and branches of
the trees.
copper sulphate ............ l pound.
Water .................. Is gallons.
Dissolve the copper sulphate as you do in pre-
pairing the bordeaux mixture. Dilute it to the
required strength, and spray upon the trees. The
addition of a little lime here, say half a pound to
fifty gallons of mixture, enables the operator to
see exactly what portions of the tree have been
sprayed.
This mixture must not be used after the leaves
appear.
POTASSIUM sULPH1DE SOLUTION.
Potassium sulphide or liver of sul
phur 1 ounce.
Water ...........-.-... 2 to 4 gallons.
This solution should be freshly prepared. It
is used as a substitute for the bordeaux mixture
in the same way as the ammoniacal solution of
copper carbonate is used when the fruit has be-
come so large that the bordeaux mixture must
be discontinued to avoid ~spotting. Potassium
sulphide is especially efficient as a protection
against the powdery mildews.

ABOLISH ERROR COLUMN.
Ex-senator Billy Joyce Discourses on
Record Players.

Record Players.
''Scrappy Bilp' Joyce, one of America s
greatest authorities on base ball. has made
some remarks on the Terror column" ques-
ton. Joyce grew up with the game just
as pop Arson, Fred Pfeffer and Mike
Kelly did. Therefore Bills argument for
the elimination Of flie error column is en-
titled to reflection. Joyce has not threat
ened 20 call the attention of the rule
trainers to his argument, but merely offers
it as a suggestion for the betterment of
the game. yls9ll
He points out, in more ways than one,
why it would be a good idea to cut out the
error column. Better BAH would be played.
he contends, for the reason that a player
would never let aniopportunity slip to go
after the sphere. a6at9
Frequently, under the present conditions,
thew should be unsuccessful in the attempt
and an error would be served against
them Salaries depend upon their aver
ages, and errors count against a player
with equal force as put-outs and assists do
A player,s average for the season to a
large degree regulates the salary that he
| shall receive during the coming year, and
| it Is easy to show why a player wants to
avoid REPRESENTATION in the error column
Another reason advanced is that official
| scorers sometimes play favorifes, and it is
not an uncommon thing for scorers to dis
agree as to whether the play is hit or an
error Joyce does not argue that element
OF the proposition as point In favor of
| his contention, however. He simply says
| that better bali would be played.
Joyce says: Ball players are as sensitive
as actors or people in any other profession
1 do not mean from the viewpoint that be-
| cause they are afraid of being Missed, as is
| the case with the actor. Ball players are

situation might be such that 1t looked next
to impossible for the fielder to yet tbs. bail
If. however, errors did not count there is
not base ball player in the world who
would not make every effort to get every
ball that came his way or anywhere near
1t
.sIt does not always follow that thu play
err who has the best average demands the
biggest salary. Perhaps the best players of
the day will be found third, fourth an1 fifth
in the average column. But that has a
whole lot to do with the SALARY question
