as are incidental to all warfare, was
never crushed in battle orzon the field,
until its strength was sapped away by
want of food, In anothercplace, the
same Union officer and gentleman
states the nature of sapping. "The
rules and limitations of civilized war
fare so far as non combatants were no
longer observed. It is not a pleasant
admission, but the historic, if migrate
full, truth is, that as respects what are
systematically termed thes's everities"
of warfare. the record made by our
armies during the latter stages of the
conflict will not bear comparison with
that of the army of Northern Virginia.

the wanton obstruction of private pro-

during the final stages of the conflict

Sheridan, when during the Franco

was to treat a hostile population with

General Sheridan, advocated IN an

pointed inspector of orchards and other
premises in Jefferson county.
AS a general rule the fruit growers
of this section are we'll informed con-
corning the San Jose scale, peach yell
lows and black knot and their orchards
are kept reasonably free from these
troubles; however, there are still many
places in the county where the general
armers and owners of city and village
lots have comparatively few fruit trees
which may be and often are breeding
places for dangerously injurious Insect s
and plant diseases. All such places
should be visited by the inspector, the
premises carefully examined and il
dangerous insects and diseases are
found arrangements made with the
owners to have the infested trees treat

of neglected orchard that is breeding
