"Grandpa said he hoped you would,
for your sake. And he is
dead; has been these many years.
The woman in black touched her
somber dress reverently.
The thrum, thrum, thrum had been
sounding louder and the cloud of dust
had been coming nearer, along the
road. The little procession of veterans
turned up the avenue of the cemetery.
The woman in black and the girl in
white put the last lingering touches to
their floral tribute, the roses from
Virginia, and the lilacs from York
state, on the Federal soldiers grave
and passed down the little narrow
walk, arm in arm, as the little pro-

vexatious delays. No official was re-
quired to preserve order No record
was kept of it's deliberations. No
costs were incurred. No advocate was
present to perpleX by subtle argu-
ments and frivolous distinctions the
plain Interpretation of the law. Each
party stated his own case. The ac-
cused conducted his own defense.
Judgment was rendered after a brief
consultation. There was no appeal
InfOrmatiOns of the various ordinanc-
els which protected the canals and
their supply were punished by fines.
Where the offense was repeated the
culprit was deprived of the right to
enjoy the privileges upon which the
existence of the crop depended. This
system prevailed for ten centuries.
The result was that in Spain agri-
culture reached a high state of per-
lection, some Of it's features not sur
passed today. The care we have de-
scribed in the protection of the waters
was observed in fertilizing the SOIL
Profound botanical knowledge went
hand in hand with Arab horticulture.
The Spanish Moors were familiar with
the circulation of the sap, with the
difference in sex of plants, with the
process of artificial fecundation
They employed eight distinct methods
of grating, and the injurious effects
of the sun were obviated by the use
of a perforated vessel from which the
water fell drop by drop upon the graft
which, without this precaution, would
have been withered by heat
To Moorish enterprise Europe owes
such fruits as the strawberry, the
lemon, the ounce, the date, the fig,
the mulberry, the banana, the pOme-
granate and such nuts as the pista-
choi and the almond; such cereals as
rice, sesame and buckwheat; such
vegetables as spinach and asparagus;
per; such condiments as caper and
saffron. The coffee and the cotton
plant grew wild in Arabia, and the
sugar cane, whose product bears al
most unaltered the name bestowed by
those who were the first to extract it,
was also introduced by the Arabs.
The facts here referred to are from
Scott's History of Moorish Empire in
Europe. They illustrate, as it seems
to us, the value Of expert knowledge
in agriculture. Expert knowledge
comes first from experience and then
from science. The farmer, above all
other men, should be observant, COM
pairing the experiences of one year
with another, of one period with an
other, of one locality with another;
examining all things and holding fast
to that which is good.

depths of the creamy roses. ''Where

''From Virginia; came by mail yes

the accent, and thought it sweet. She
did not know it was Southern.

our hearts were heavy and sad. It
seemed to me as if mine was broken,
as if [ never could be happy and mer-
ry again. Down in our pasture, tents
were pitched. From our side piazza
we could see blue coats moving about
them. I hated those blue-coated
-marauders, ravishers-I called
them by every despicable epithet
could think Of. I hated them because
they were quartered on us without in
vitation. 1 hated them because they
left death and devastation in their
wake. Only a few weeks before, a
party Of them came into our gar
den, and one of them went along and
smashed the sashes of our hoUbeds
with his heel, and they helped them
selves to our radishes and early vege-
tables. When old Tom called to them
to leave 'em thar, we wants 'em to
eat they laughed at him and retort-

much to eat in those days; we were
on short rations often, and now [ re-

they had killed and eaten my pet

bloody battles were fought. Our
house was watched I'd seen the men
plcketed about it. We were suspected
OF harboring an escaped prisoner, a
spy, they deemed him. A squad of
blue coats came riding up our lane one
morning. They were coming to
search our premises. We'd expected
this for several days. They dismount-
ed and tied their horses to the garden
fence. One of them came to- me. T
was sitting on a bench alongside the
house. Over it I'd spread rug I'd

panied. At a signal from him, the
men entered the house. He had bid
den them give as little offence as pos
sible and be quick. He stood there,
cap in hand, while the men were in
