An experiment has recently been tried
by the Commercial club of Des Moines
to demonstrate the possibilities of Iowa
soil. One acre of ground was cultivated
by a Mr.. Roberts during the past sea-
son and the result showed a net profit
Of $50. The account shows that 500
dozen lunches OF celery at 40 cents per
dozen and 175 dozen at 30 cents were
raised. There was also a little crop OF
50 1-2 bushels of onions which were mar
keted at 81 a bushel The expense of
cultivation amounted to $3.50, leaving
a net profit of $40 as given above. The
man who cultivated the acre was not
an experienced gardener and he worked
under adverse conditions In July the
supply of water proved inadequate to
cope with the disastrous drouth and as
a result half of the celery plants died.
This land was planted to onions. The pur-
pose of the experiment was to demon
strate the success which any well post
ed gardener may attain from Iowa soil.
There are many people who look for
ward to establishing small gardens OF
this kind and they are being Influenced
by the results shown in campaigns Of
this nature.

In his book, Swine in America" f. D..
Coburn, of Kansas, says: Whenever pos
sibIe the breeder ought to inspect per-
sonalIy the animal he selects as a herd
boar, but when unable to do this and
he has no competent representative, he
should endeavor to make the best selec-,
ton possible by mail by detailing his
needs, and the deficiencies of his sows.
Ordering by mail should be considered
last resort, 10 be done only when the
purchaser cannot buy near home, or for
other good reasons is unable TO give his.
personal attention to the selection. When
that is the case the purchase should be
made from a breeder known TO be repu-
table and the needs OF the buyer and
the price ne figures on paying should be
definitely stated in the letter as the at
tftude Of one who expects the best pos
sible for his outlay. ALI men who have
had much to do with the selling OF pure
bred boars are familiar with the buyer
who insists that You must get him down
as low as you can-he must be cheap, as
have written to a number Of other
breeders man OF this stamp ID likely
to want a boar of almost impossible
makeup for a very small sum. He Is
less likely to do well in his purchase
than the man who viii frankly state the
type OF boar he needs and the amount
of money he can afford or intends to IN
vest The chances are, too, that the
latter procedure will bring much the bet
ter treatment

GENERAL LEE AND
GENERAL noNGsTEEET

GENERAL LOMGSTREET
In the year 1880 or 1881, DR.. FELTON, and
myself were in the supper room of the
National hotel in Washington, D. c.,
when Gen Charles Field, of Virginia,
came in, then holding the position OF
doorkeeper to the house Of representa-
tives, in the 46th congress. He was an
elegant gentleman, fine presence and a
good talker and we were pleased that
he should choose a seat with us for his
coming meal.
In progress Of conversation he told us
that he was in command of the Vir-
ginia troops at the surrender that Gem
eral Lee carried into the army, after
General Lee severed connection with the
United States army in 1861. He was his
successor in command of General Lees
old Virginia regiment, after the latter
was called to higher positions.
I had in my hand paper which con-
tanned an extravagant article written
by Henry Grady, in which he made II
appear that General Lee had abont turn
ed over everything to the capable hands
OF General Gordon and from this de-
scription one might suppose that the
Georgian was the chief man at Appomat-
tox. opened the newspaper and read
aloud TO General Field, Grady's de-
scription of the night before Appomat-
tox, the same night that Ransom writes
about in Harper's Magazine. He spoAe
up quickly, and where is Longstreet?
Is nothing said about Longstreet?'
We looked over the paper together ana
no mention was made of Longstreet.
"You certainly have given me a sur
prise, Mrs. FELTON,. / was there all night
and the last conference after midnight
General Lee and myself with General
Longstreet were together"
General Lee did not know what the
morrow would bring forth, and he said
repeatedly, will accept no dishonorable
or Ignoble terms from General Grant.
Life would be intolerable If l did T"
Turning to General Longstreet, he said;
'If / am forced to such extremity
desire to place myself in the hands OF
my Virglnians, and then try to cut my
way out to the mountains or die in the
effort. VIII you go with me and lead
that forlorn hope, General Longstreet?
It means something that we both under
stand; can you go with me and command
these soldiers that are so near to me al
ways?"
General Field said IT was tragic to see
these two brave men clasp hands ano
to hear General Longstreet say, Il VIII
CO."
I was glad to see the story in Har-
per's Magazine, because General Long
street was one of the very bravest Of
our generals, and / have always been
panied to know that partisan prejudics
had been so unjust and unfair to him Ia
the past.
| am anxious to see statue of Gen
eral Longstreet on the capitol grounds
in Atlanta. If we build statues to COM
memorate heroism, then ne should be
thus remembered If we build thei,l
because we are partisan in politics and
.prejudiced, then we should not build
any more to anybody.
told General Longstreet what General
Field said TO us about that night before
Appomattox. He said II was substantial

In both the beef and dairy breeds
we find the heads of most of the herds
purchased when but two years old.
People do not seem to recognize the
Importance of the tried and mature bull.
1t is true that the young bull is cheaper
and can be used for a longer time, yet
we know nothing of his value. At present
the bulls are crowded when they are
yearlings and 2-year-olds and then sold
when three or four years of age because
they are considered too cross to be
safe. There is no reason why a bull
should not be used until 10 or II years
old If he is handled properly and given
plenty of exercise while young. The bull
is too often confined In the barn. He
should have small lot or should be
made to run a treadmill for an hour or
more each day.
