MEMORIES OF THE PAST.
The Day Intended for Appropriate
COMMUNICATION of the Deeds
of Heroes.

Memorial day was founded that
there might be few hours in each
year set aside for the appropriate
commemoration of the deeds of men
who had been killed while serving the
country in the army or navy or who
had died since having so served For
a number of years it was generally
and suitably observed. Then in some
places it ceased to be observed at ALL
In many it was given up to bicycle
and horse racing and other sports and
festivities.
Diversions Of this kind have been
widely and properly protested against
as dissertations of the day The pro-
tests seem to have had some effect,
for observance of the occasion prom
ises TO be not only more general this
year than usual but also more appro-
pirate.
Contemplation of the courageous and
selfsacrificing patriotism exhibited by
past generations is to little purpose
IL 1t do not Undue their successors
with a purpose to emulate them.
The men Of to-day have confronting
them questions almost as difficult as
any which have yet been dealt with,
and the best way the sons can show
their appreciation of what the fathers
accomplished is by resolving to go
about their work as citizens with the
same courage and in the same spirit
as their fathers went about theirs

Twenty ponds of alfalfa seed per

Strike while the iron is hot, and
keep on striking when it is cold so as

Cotton-seed meal is an excellent fer

About two-thirds of the alcohol

Feed the Fruit Trees.

Careful investigations of the
growth made by mature fruit trees
at the n Y station show that the
peaches should have the largest
amount of plant food; apples and
ounces come next, while pear and
plum trees are third. A heavy crop
of fruit uses much more plant food
during the season than crop OF
wheat, 80 apple trees growing upon
one acre requiring over so pounds Of
nitrogen to produce an average crop.
If it is necessary to fertilize your
land to grow crop of 20 bushels of
wheat per acre, it is even more ne
cessary to fertilize for crop of fruit.
Clover grown as summer cover
crop and turned under will supply
much of the nitrogen, and top dress
ings of potash and phosphoric acid
early in the spring will do much to-
ward meeting the needs of the trees.

GERMS ON THE FARM.
Some Are g Detriment, Some Bene.
dt-Uss Latter to Fight
the Former.

In the popular acceptance OF tbs
term, germ is any very minute liv~
ing being; whether animal or vege.
table. is immaterial. They are all in
visible to the nake1 eye, and some OF
them are so small as to be seen with
great difficulty even with the most
powerful microscopes made. They are.
generally, the smallest living things
in the world The vegetable germs are
called bacteria and fungi; the animal
germs, protozoans. While so exceed
ingly small, the life histories of many
germs are as well known as the lives
of higher forms OF life, and yet, the
earnest study OF these minute beings
does not extend back much more than
% years.
In a general way, the great purpose
of germs in the world may be said
to hasten decay Indeed, some scien-
lists say there is no decay where
germs are not These invisible forms
quickly convert dead animals and veg
etable structures into earth, water and
air, or in other words, into the SIM
pie compounds of earth and water.
Warmth and moisture promote germ
growth and hence, decay.
The first purpose of germ life is
beneficial. A second action is also
utilized by mankind In the ralnu-
triton and ripening of certain prod
ucts, germs are the active agents. Thus,
cream and cheese are ripened, before
use, through bacterial action. The
ripening of wine and beer due t. SIM
liar action. Beef is made tender, and
the flavor of game is developed IN the
same manner by germ growth in the
tissues. The fermentation of CABBAGE
into sauerkraut is another illustration
along the same line, and bread is
raised through germ activity in
yeast.
Again, bacteria Tor germs) are use
full in gathering and preparing plant
food in the soil. On plants OF the clover
and bean family, bacteria gather in
colonies on the roots, and the reaction
which is produced between the air and
soil by these germs is the development
of heterogeneous plant food This is ono
of the greatest achievements of these
little beings for the benefit of man.
This work is of incalculable value to
the farmer, and to all mankind
But the work of germs is not wholly
beneficial, declares DR.. George G.. Croft,
in the Farm Journal. They nave their
evil ways as well as their good ones.
Some germs have fallen upon the Fad
habit of killing plants and animals
before these would naturally die Thus
the potato rot, the black rot i'll the
grape, the rot of the plum and cherry,
the black knot on the plum and cherry
trees, rust on grain, and other plant
diseases, are caused by germs. Iii the
case of animals, CHAMBERS, nydropho-
bia, tuberculosis, pleuro- pneumonia,
lockjaw, lumpjaw, anthrax and MAN.
others, are germ diseases. Among
mankind, consumption, pneumonia,
tetanus, diphtheria, scarlet end ty-
phoid fevers, cholera, dysentery, small
poX, humps, measles, the oriental
plague, and other diseases, are caused
by germs.

Sleeping, Not Dead.

We silent men. who to your country gave
The last full measure of devotion-life-
We fell asleep while the tumultuous
strife
Around yeu swelled in fury, like the wave
Which breaks upon the rocks which prove
its grave.
To-day. around you all the air Is rife
With wailing cries from bugle and from
fife
The voice of that dear land you died to
save,
Nay, We have never died-ye live to-day
In every soul which joys that it is free;
In that fair flag with which the breezes
play.
With every flashing star undimmed, un-
lost;
In all our hearts. which clay like yours
shall be
Before our land forgets what freedom
cost

Him to the Water for Tussle
with the Fish.

Yes, my dear; the man is very
tired.
He has been working Awfully Hard
for the Past Year. Now he will pro-
coed TO take Rest.
He will rest, / said. Tomorrow he
will shoulder a Fishingrod, lug can
of Worms IN one hand and a basket
of Lunch in the other and HE him
self to the River for Fishing Stunt.
Will that rest him?
He thinks it will, and that Is
Enough Five days week for the
past year he has sat at Desk three
Hours in the forenoon and three hours
In the afternoon, debating letters and
telling Other men what to do. This
has been very strenuous, and no Is
Much Fatigued. So tomorrow he will
tramp 'steen miles through mud and
sand and brush, stand in the hot sun,
drink river water, eat Cold Lunch
full of Ants and Bugs, and I'm the
evening he will drag himself home,
wondering all tire way If he will ever
Get There.
In the morning he will arise as
stiff as a poker and as sore as a gum
boil, but he will be Rested. 1t was
a day off from the strenuous business
life, and that is Sufficient.
But it is Funny isn't it, that man
can get Rest out of that sort OF
thing?
No, he will not get any Fish.
He will get Sunburn. Mal'"'" ana
Chiggers: but he will get no Fish.

To the Nations Dead.

Long have they lain meath the grass and
Sod
Those noble sons that in battle trod.
No more the sound of the bugle call
Shall quicken their steps to duty's call.
They only wait for the trumpet sound,
When the great and good shall at last be
crowned.
And the battle and strife of yesterday
Shall be lost alike to the Blue and Gray.
We who march on this day in May,
TO scatter garlands of flow'rets gay
over the mounds of soft green sward,
Where sleep the brave i'll battle gored:
Know that to these ye owe your land,
So scatter the buds with willing hand.
With thoughts of love while lips do pray
For the peace and rest OF the Blue and
Gray
And let the flag on each grave rest.
OF him whose struggle made it blest
Those Stars and Stripes let proudly wave
Above each soldier honored grave.
For these are they who held them high,
Caring not that they should die.
So let the Union feel to-day
Thoughts of love for the Blue and Gray.

A day which brings reflection con-

such as liberty, freedom and pros

cessions ard the strewing of flowers
upon such a day. Well may the
thoughts OF all be turned to the
pages of history where glorious deeds
upon land and sea are wildly de-

true meaning of liberty and freedom
to a nation of 80,O00,000 souls. Well

COW PEAS.
Being Adapted to Northern Growth
and Proving Good Crop for
Making Hay.

We would advise most of our read
0rs to make study of COW peas, for
on many of our farms they will be
found available. Cow peas are among
the most interesting farm plants that
we have. This was until quite re-
Gently considered plant adapted to
the United States south of the Ohio
river, but within few years COW
peas have been raised as far north
as Michigan and Wisconsin They
have ripened seed as far north as
Madison. They make a good crop for
blowing under when the soil is def
cient in humus and needs some green
manure. They have a large leafy top
A man must choose, however, the
variety suited for his purpose. If he
intends to plow them under he must
use non-running variety, as the
long vines Of the running varieties
cannot be easily plowed under, for
obvious reasons.
The cow pea makes good hay, but
must be cut early or the leaves will
fall off. As hay crop it is being
displaced by the soy bean. South Of
central Illinois cow peas may be
grown much more successfully than
north of that point, where the frosts
come early. To those wishing to go
into the details of COW pea growing,

The Practical Farmer says Iha. ii
seems very hard to get people to I'M
derstand that plant like the ccw-pea,
that requires hot weather tor its
growth, and oats, that require cold
weather, cannot be associated success
fully. If the peas are sown at oat
seeding, they will perish from cold,
and if oats are s0@n late in May or
June, when the peas should be sown,
they will not amount to much, and
will probably be choked out ny the
peas. Canada peas are the only peas
to associate with oats, and these sell

Fraternitv. Charity and Lovaltv.

The greatest service the Grand Army
of the Republic has rendered is the
beautiful way in which it gives life to
the principles of the Observation-Disclosures
ternity, charity and loyalty.
That millions of men of every degree
of life and station should for 40 years
be bound together by this common bond
of brotherhood is not only worthy of
admiration, but also of imitation by the
members of this republic.
Charity, or love, is the greatest thing
in the world, and love is the key to
every department of life, the founda-
ton of patriotic teaching, the safety Of
the country, the home and the individ-
ual.
Loyalty to their comrades, their or
ganization, their country and their God
has been fittingly illustrated in the
lives of these boys in blue.
This trinity of principles, if copied
by our 80,000,000 citizens, would make
us the greatest nation on earth.

G. A r. the Conservator of Peace.
The Grand Army of the Republic has
been one of the greatest conservators of
peace because its members realize moro
fully than any one else could the cost
OF war both in blood and treasure. The
wounds and disease contracted by them
in the civil war are ever present re-
minders of its cost. They would have
been ready to have sacrificed much be-
fore engaging in such another struggle.
They have been the leaders of all
movements tending to higher patri-
otism and loyal service to their
country. They have fostered and
encouraged every effort looking to
more loyal citizenship. They have
taught the world a lesson in fra
ternity extending not only to their
own members, but to the men of the
south who fought against them, and I
believe they have done and are doing
more to reunite the two sections of our
country as patriotic American citizens
than any other agency or society.

there is not dense growth of grass.
The cultivated clovers are preferred
to this one because they are larger and
capable of furnishing a greater amount
