Was Engaged.
DICKINSON RECOMMENDS 1T

Washington, Feb. 26.-For the
purchase of lands within and adja-
cent to Shiloh National Military park,
the secretary of the treasury trans
mitted to congress the estimate sub
mitted by Secretary Dickinson. of the
war department. which calls for an
appropriation of 81, 400.
The land desired comprises 1872
acres and is in six tracts. three of
which are situated near Psttsburg
Landing and entirely surrounded by
property belonging TO the govern
ment and the remainder adjacent to
the south and southeast boundaries
of the park. 1t is necessary for the
government to own this land In order
to include within the limits OF the
park the land where Stewards bri-
gade OF Sherman's division, army of
the Tennessee, was engaged in fight
ing in the battle of Shiloh and on
which land the states of Ohio and
Illinois have erected monuments for
the Fifty-fourth Ohio and Fifty-fifth
Illinois, respectively.
The location of these monuments
was fixed in 1900, after verbal agree
ment made by the war commission
with the owner OF the property for
the purchase of the land. Under the
agreement consent was obtained for
the erection of the monuments of the
Fifty-fourth Ohio and Fdfty-fifth Hi
nois and several markers.
Would Control Markers.
About five years ago the owner of
the land demanded settlement or to
be released from his. agreement, and
no reply having been made to his
demand, he soon afterwards sold a
part of this land without reservation,
and the purchaser built a house on
the property near the Fifty-tifth ILL
nois monument. About the time this
agreement was made like agreements
were entered into with owners of
other property, upon which markers
have since been erected, and in one
instance the heirs of one of the own
ers are asking that the monuments
be removed.
Assistant Secretary OF War Oliver
says:
aside from the imperative neces-
sity of acquiring this additional land
in order that the monuments and
markers which have been erected on
private property may be brought
under government protection and pre-
served from desecration, the land Is
necessary for park purposes and also
for police purposes, as it now affords
shelter for hunters. gamblers. etc.
In addition. sand and stone can be
quarried from the property. which

In breeding swine or live stock oi

we'll defined object in view, a point to-

If you will, well fixed in his mind.
All hogs of the same breed are not
alike, and 1t is this fact that makes
Improvement of any breed possible
There are different types of the same
breed for the breeder to select from
and the intelligence and judgment used
in the selection of the animals, re-
served for breeders will sooner or later
demonstrate the success or failure of
the breeder OF course, methods Of
feeding and care cut an important fig.
ure. Many men who are good feeders
OF swine are very poor breeders, but
few good breeders are poor feeders.
The tendency of all our improved
animals is to revert backward toward
the original type, and In the case OF
swine 1t should be borne in mind. that
while there Is no stock that can be 90
rapidly improved by judicious selec.
tion, care and feed, there is none that

There is nothing quite so good as
fine brush to catch and hold soil wash.
Where small trees are used to fill a
gully the top of the tree should be
placed toward the head of the gully, so
that all soil and trash coming down
will be caught in the forks of the
branches. II the tree is placed in the
opposite direction the descending trash
will slip more easily by and over It..
For the same reason, in filling a gully
with brush and branches, the tops Of
the brush should be placed upstream.
Where gullies have been formed dur
ing the summer by soil washing 1t is
we'll to fill them as early as possible In
the fall while the leaves are still on
the brush with which they are filled.
When they are filled early and before
the leaves Of the trees have fallen,
many leaves, as well as grass and
weeds that may be blown about the
fields by fall and winter winds will be
caught In the brush to decay, will
help fill and will form good soil. The
brush itself will decay in year or
two, so that when the gully Is filled 1t
cannot only be plowed over, but will
become the best soil Never MI a
gully with soil, unless some brush or
similar material is put in the bottom
to hold the SOIL
In mending steep place in the road
side, briers, brush and all fence row
mowings make good, material to lay
down to place the dirt upon. II rocks
are available 1t is best to first lay
brush In the place to be filled, then
place the rocks upon the brush, and
last>the dirt upon the rocks and brush.
These will hold and bind the dirt until
1t becomes settled and firm, and 1t will
be less subject to washing and being
