HERCULES OF THE CIVIL WAR
Great Strength Displayed by Augustus
Alden Manning During Conflict;
Carried Drummer in Arms.

Augustus Alden Manning of Goshen
not only traces his descent from John
Alden of the Plymouth colony, but he
Is also a descendant Of soldiers who
fought in the French and Indian wars,
the war OF the revolution and that of
1912, while he and three of his broth
ers were soldiers of the civil war.
1t was his eat-great-grandfather
Phineas Manning, born in Hopkinton
in 1927, who participated in the French
and Indian wars and in the war of the
revolution. In the last-named war
three of the sons of Phineas also
served in the continental army.
The Manning family history shows
that one of Mr.. Manning's ancestors
bought land of Miles Standish, and
others of his ancestors served under
Gen. Putnam and were at Valley
Forge with Washington and partici-
pated in the battle of Monmouth.
The great-great-grandfath Phin-
cas-, had 16 children by his first mar
riage and IL by his second. Joseph
Beaman, an ancestor on the maternal
side, was also a revolutionary soldier.
Augustus Alden Manning was born
in Goshen February 2, 1888. What
| school education he had was obtained
in the district schools of that town.
When he was % years of age he en-
listed in Company c, Tenth regiment.
| The Tenth served under Mcclellan,
Burnside, Meade and Grant, and Mr.
Manning participated in the following
engagements: The seige of York
town, Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, Oak
Grove, Charles City Cross Roads, Nal
vern Hill, Antietam, Fredericksburg,
all in 1862; the Mud campaign, Marys
Heights, Salem Heights, Franklins
Crossing, Gettysburg Rappahannock
station and Nine Run, all in 1858; in
the Wilderness, Spottysylvania, North
Anna, Cold Harbor and Petersburg in
1864.
Mr.. Manning has always been man
of great strength, and he was unusual

ly strong when he was soldier. My
ron P. Walker was the drummer boy
of the regiment. Mr.. Walker enlisted
as musician when he was IA years of
age. Quite frequently during the cam
paign he became tired during the long
marches and Mr.. Manning would pick
up the little boy in his arms and carry
him until rested. A friendship has
continued between Mr.. Manning and
Col. Walker from that time until the
present.
The three borthers of Mr. Manning
who served in the civil war were as
follows: John H. of the Thirty-frst
Massachusetts volunteers who died at
Ship island, near New Orleans; Joel
D., who served in the Thirty-first and
later in the First heavy artillery, now
living at Northampton; William E.,
who served in the Twentieth and who

Investigations to determine some of
the farming possibilities of the non.
irrigated level lands of Montana were
started during the spring of 1905.
The aim in taking up this line of
experimentation was not to test all
of the different crops and soil culture
methods that might be proposed, but
rather by using a few of the most
promising crops handled in the best
known manner, to determine If crop
returns were possible on the non-ir-
rigated lands of Montana. This ac.
counts for the fact that results are
reported along but few lines at this
time. These few results, however,
furnish an answer to the general ques-
tion by indicating that profitable crops
can be raised on the level lands of
Montana without the aid of irrigation.
Among the questions that the dry
farmer must answer before his farm
ing activities have been greatly de-

veloped is the question of what crops
to plant. Because of the peculiar
crop growing conditions prevailing, it
Is evident that the farm crops common
ly grown in irrigated or humid sec
tions will not all be equally well adapt
ed to produce returns on the dry
farm.
In order that crop may be adapted
to dry land culture it must possess
certain characters. Some of these
which seem essential are strong early
growth, comparatively strong deep
roofing system and early maturity.
These characters are of value in as
sisting the crop to progress rapidly
during May and June when rains are
frequent and the weather is somewhat
cool so that maturity may be reached
before the hot days of the summer
set in.
Among all varieties grown so far the
Turkey Red is the highest yielder.
The average for all years at the diff.
ferent farms is 35.7 bushels per acre,

yield of one plot of Turkey Red was

bread making qualities.
White hulless barley is the earliest
ripening of all the spring grains test
ed. This grain, which is in demand
for feeding purposes and for the man
fufacture of certain cereal food prod
ucts, usually commands good mar
ket price. 1t is one of the good dry
land spring grains. The California
barley, which yields higher number
of bushels than the White Hulless, is
In reality better yielder, weighing
but AS pounds to the bushel as con-

Three varieties of spring wheat have
been tested. The Kunbanka, a Mac

turity and highest yield. The Maca'
roni wheat as class seems well adapt
ed to grow under dry farm conditions
The seed was originally imported into
this country from Russia where 1t has
been grown for many years under
rather severe conditions. AS result
the crop is hardy grower, maturing
fair yields of well filled grain under
conditions quite unfavorable.
The Ghirka wheat, a good, hard
bread making variety, had been grown
under dry land conditions in Russia
for many years before the seed was
brought to Montana. Both of these
show possibilities as bread making
varieties.
