TIE NAT1oNAL CORN SHOW.

The National Corn Exposition, which
10 TO be held in Columbia the latter
part or this month, will be one of the
most tremendous educational events
ever held in the south and the
like Of 1t will hardly ever be here
again. The exposition was brought to
South Carolina in somewhat of mis-
ssiOnary spirit. The committee which
visited the exposition in 1911, in ex-
tending the invitation to hold it this
year in the South, stressed the need
e1F this section for just such agricul-
auTaI education as this exposition
would supply. The fact should
be borne In mind that the directors OF
the corn exposition are not bringing
~ here In order that the northern and
vseStern visitors may learn how TO
grow corn, but in order that the peo-
pie in the south may imbibe the corn
growing spirit, hoping that the in
formation gained here would give an
impetus TO the corn growing industry.
with these things in mind, it seems

CRISIS OF The WAR
Story of the Famous Battle Of
Gettysburg, Fought Fifty
Years Ago.
LOSS CT LIFE WAS FEARFUL
Both Armies Struggled BraveIy, and
the confederates-Were Conquered
Only After Three Days of
Bloody Conflict.

Fifty years ago nearly 165, 900 Amer.
leans met on the field of Gettysburg,
and for three days fought one of the
greatest battles of history. Gen. Rob
ert e. Lees army of some $4,000
southerners which had invaded the
north was met there and overcome by
about $4,000 Federal troops under the
command of Gen. George G. Meade,
and the tide OF fortune in the Civil
war, which up to then had often ia
vored the south. was turned. There
after the Confederacy was on the de-
fensive.
Though the south lost the battle.
there was nothing to choose between
their bravery in the conflict and that
of the northerners. Both armies
fought with valor and stubbornness.
and the losses in dead and wounded
were tremendous.
Commanding the corps of the Union
army were Generals John F. Reynolds,
w. S. Hancock, Daniel F. Sickles,
George Sykes. John Sedgwick, o. o.
Howard and H. W. Slocum. Lees
corps commanders we're Generals
James Longstreet, Richard S. Ewell
and A. P. Hill.
Reynolds, sent ahead to feel out the
enemy, arrived at Gettysburg the eve
ming of June 81, and in the fighting
which began early the next day, was
killed. Gen. Abner Doubleday, who
succeeded him, was forced back to
Seminary Ridge. after hard fighting,
and then had to abandon that posi-
ton, SO that the first day of the bat
tie was in reality Confederate vic
tory. That night Meade ordered the
entire Union army to Gettysburg. and
by next morning the two armies were
confronting each other along ten
mile line of battle.
Lee ordered Longstreet to turn the
left flank of the Federal army by TAX
ing Little Round Top. but Sickles de-
Tended that position so stubbornly
that Longstreet's movement was
checked. Peach Orchard. Cemetery

CAUSES OF MANY FAILURES
Endeavor to Save in Expenses by
Cheapening Cost of Houses and
Space Is Enumerated.

The Illinois station gives among
the causes of failure in the poultry
business the following:
Endeavoring to keep too many
fowls where room for one only can
be obtained, that is saving in ex-
penses by cheapening cost Of houses
and space.
Buying fowls from other farms and
thus bringing disease and lice into
the focks.
Overlooking, the fowls being sup
piled with greater abundance under
the superstition, the more feed the
more eggs.
Cold draughts over the fowls at
night, with a view to supplying fresh
air, when the temperature is low.
Wasting time with sick fowls in
stead of destroying all birds that can
not be cured quickly.

PREPARING FOR
new SETTLERS
EXTENDING THE AGRICULTURAL
AREA IN WESTERN CANADA.

For sometime past the Canadian
government has had surveyors at
work plating new areas for the ac-
commodation Of the largely increas-
ing number Of settlers coming In to
occupy the agricultural districts OF
the three prairie provinces, There
were those connected with the work
of securing settlers for western Can
ada who last spring prophesied that
there would be as many as $4,000
new settl13rs from the United States
to Canada during the present year.
and there were those who doubted
that. the previous years figures OF
1872. 900 could be increased. Recent
computation made by the officials OF
the immigration branch at Ottawa
show that the largest estimates made
by oficials win be beaten and that
the 100000 mark from the United
States viii be reached. As great an
increase will be shown in the figures
OF those who will reach Canada from
other countries this year. The re-
suits Of the years work In Canadian
immigration will give upward OF D
total Of 100000 souls.
But this is not to be wondered at
when II Is realized what is Offering In
the three prairie provinces and also
In the coast province OF British Co
lumbia, which is also bidding strong
ly and successfully, too, for a certain
class Of settler, the settler who
wishes to go into mixed farming o.
fruit raising. When the central por-
ton OF this province is opened up BIZ
the railway now being constructed
there will be large areas Of splendid
land available for the settler.
Reference has frequently been made
Of late by those interested In develop
ing the American west to the large
numbers who are going to Canada
high officials In some OF the railways
being amongst the number to give
voice to the fact The more these
facts become known the more win
people seek the reasons and These
are best given when one reads what
prominent people say OF 1t. What the
farmer thinks of it and what his
friends say Of 1t. James A. Flaherty,
supreme knight Of the knights OF 90

short time ago. He says:
"If I were a young ma Z would
