pitiless glare of sun that sent the
mercury bubbling over the 100 mark
and made clothes burden and q
bath only q deiusion, the ancient
armies OF the North and the South
yesterday began the formal exer-
cises set to mark the semi-centen-
Z nial Of Gettysburg Veterans to the
Il number Of $4,000, army officers es-
timated, filed into the big tent set
apart for the exercises, sat in the
haze of heat for two hours and
shook the camp with their cheers
when the speakers made reference
to a reunited union.
When Governor Tener finished his
speech, General Bennett H. Young,
commander-in-chief of the United
Confederate veterans, rose slowly
and bowed to him.
II can give you something that
no one else can give you," he said.
1--WE will not give you the rebel
yell"
Nine famous Confederate gener-
ais and thousand veterans of the
South gave It 80 loudly that 1t was
heard far back ip the camp toward
Gettysburg.
When General Young stepped for
ward to deliver his address, he was
greeted with wild enthusiasm, the
Union veterans, led by Commander
in-chief Beers, giving him three lus-
ty cheers and "tiger." He took as
his keynote the conviction Of each
side in the great struggle that 1t
fought for a principle which it be-
lieved was the truth.
Before the morning exercises be-
gan and after the veterans quarter
ed in the big tent made their slim
toilets, the reunions or regiments
and companies and squadrons be-
gan. Confederates who were in
Pickett's charge took keen delight
in marching with fife and drum to
Spangler's Woods where the columns
Of Pickett formed on July 8, 1853,
to begin the charged that marked
the high tide OF the lost cause. They
did not charge again like they once
did, but they remembered, or
thought they remembered-and mo-
body said them nay-every stick and =

Civic League Notes.

Has the Civic League been of
any benefit to the town. We think
so, and though we have not ac-
complished what we wish, we are
willing to make stepping stones Of
our mistakes and to try harder to
reach our aim. "What is that2'
To have sanitary, beautiful town
not just one or two beautiful
streets, but a harmonious whole.
We want this not only to crafty
our esthetic taste but as an aid to
moral uplift. Environment is a
mighty factor in life, therefore it
should be made as pure, beautiful
and elevating as possible.
Can we not have a generous RI
valry as to whose premises give
evidence of most careful attention?
1t is by each in bis own sphere, no
matter how small that may be,
doing his Cor herr best that lasting
results for good are possible.
We tried last summerto keep in
order the grass plot between the
sidewalk and driveway, but failed.
Now we ask if each householder
will not attend to that part ad-
joining his premises-front, back,
and sides. If each will do this it
can be satisfactorily done, and the
pleasure IN looking at well-kept
streets will be enhanced by the
feeling that we are partners in the
enterprise.
The outlay for each will be
small; the compensation out of all
proportion TO it.

PROTECTING the Birds.

Much has been said and written
In advocacy of the protection of
wild birds. which are wantonly
slaughtered by the thousands ev.
cry year. for no better reason than
that they are wanted to adorn
milady's hat Que of the COM
mendahle features il, the tariff
bill now before Congress is a pro-
vision which. if it becomes law,
will prohibit the Importation of
certain wild bird feathers and
plumes for other than scientific or
educational purposes. This clause,
which was heartily approved by
public sentiment, was so reason
able and humane that it was not
expected that it would meet with
any opposition.
Certain parties, however, COM
mercislly interested, who care
more for dollar than humanity,
are bent upon amending the pro-
vision in such way as to either
destroy it or give il little effective
ness. There is no justification for
this except their own personal
gain.
The Washington Post, in COM
menting upon the effort to prevent
the enactment of this clause In the
bill. says:
The slaughter of birds at home
and abroad has reached such huge
proportions that he hand Of the
Government should be laid upon
the business. 1t is not merely a
hrutally selfish sari6ce, 6endish in
the details of its commerclalized
cruelty, bit it is extravagant and
costly to the people. Unless the
importation of wild bird feathers
Is prohibited the United States
will remain a partner In this in
iquitous traffic.
If Congress prevents the imror.
tation of the feathers and plunes
of these birds it will have done
much towards putting an end TO
their wholesale destruction. With
out a market for the sale of such
products the incentive to kill aad
destroy will be gone, and ihe x
ample once set other countrsvs xll
be encouraged to fall in line and
put an end to the business alta-

KEEP THE cows.
u. S. Government Urges Southern
Farmers Not TO Sell Cattle, but
Keep Them for Breeders.

The U. S. Department of Agri
culture has issued the following
letter urging the farmers of the
south to keep their cattle;
During the past twelve months
cattle buyers have been active in
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia, and Florida, purchasing
cattle to be shipped to the Middle
Western markets as either Gamers
or stockers. The prices paid for
Gamers during this period have
been so high that thousands OF
COWS and heifers have gone to the
shambles which should have been
retained on the farms for breeding
purposes. This is especially no.
ticeable when the receipts of south
ern cattle at the St. Louis market
for the last twelve months are
compared with those for any pre-
vious period of similar length.
The receipts of Alabama, Missis-
sippi, and Louisiana cattle at that
market have almost doubled during
this period.
Since the first of February buy
ers from the farms and ranches of
the West have been securing the
Gulf States in search of breeding
stock. A few years ago this class
of cattle would have been scorned
by the Western ranchman as breed
ing stock, but with the shortage of
cows for breeding purposes the
ranchers are glad to get these
cheap cows, to which they will
breed good beef bulls. The half
breeds resulting from this mating
make fairly desirable beef animals.
Several thousand cattle have al
ready been sent from these States
to Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas,
and some of them are said TO have
been shipped as far as Montana.
Recently there were perhaps
more cattle unloaded at one time
in Birmingham, Ala, for feed,
water, and rest while en- route to
the western ranges than have ever
been seen in that place before in
one day. Georgia and Florida are
sending out thousands of these ma.
tive southern cattle at the present
time at prices ranging from SIS to
Gas a head for mature animals. A
shipment of 10 carloads of cattle
was recently made from 0sceola
County, Florida, in one day. They
were shipped to Kansas via Okla
homa City. The cattle were dipped
in arsenical solution before load
ing, to free them of ticks, and were
to be dipped again on arrival at
Oklahoma City before going above
the Federal quarantine line.

glad that these cattle are being
shipped out, as the number oil
scrub cattle is being reduced and
the South will get better cattle as
a result. They do not look far
enough ahead, however, or they
would see that if the shortage OF
cattle is such as 10 cause buyers to
come from the far West to buy
these scrub cattle for breeding
purposes, the chances of southern
farmers refilhng their pastures
with good rattle are indeed small,
for where are these good breeding
cattle to come from at a reasonable
price? The best and most profit
able way of getting good cattle
throughout the South is to breed
the native cattle by the use Of pure
bred bulls.
The South is especially adapted
to raising cattle, because of the
long grazing season, the enormous
areas of cheap land much of which
is now lying idle, the great variety
of pasture grasses and legumes
which grow luxuriantly on all soils,
and because of the mild winters.
If the western ranchman can af-
ford to pay southern farmers good
prices for cows, pay the high
freight rates to the West, stand
the losses which naturelly occur
during shipping this cattle such
long distance, also bear the losses
due to a change of climatic condi
tions, and then make money on
them, why can not the southern
farmer who already owns the cattle
as well as the grazing lands, and
who needs the manure upon the
soils, keep his stock on the farm
and secure the increased profits7
He can if be will free his cattle of
ticks, increase the efficiency of his
pastures by planting mixtures of
lespedeza, bur clover, white clo-
yer, or perhaps meliloius, alsike
clover, and redtop over his pasture
lands; and by raising more hays
and forage crops for wintering his
stock and finishing them for mar
ket. The surplus cattle can then
be fattened by feeding cottonseed
cake on grass, or grazing fields of
velvet beans while feeding some
concentrate; or they can he fin
isbed in the dry lot during the
winter months. For winter feed
ing no roughage has proven more
valuable than silage, as the addi-
ton of it to the feeding ration in
variably increases the size of the
daily gains and reduces their cost,
thereby making greater profits.
The quality and quantity OF silage
which can be produced on some of
these lands can not be surpassed
by the high priced lands of the
corn belt, whereas the cost of pro
ducing it is far less because of the
cheap labor.
The farmers of the South are
urged to discontinue this
shipping of their female
