not cross. We built breast-works and
remained several days. It was here
that I was. without anything to eat

War Record.

The following are extracts IroDl
the war record of Mr.. Speer, compiled
by himself a. few, years before his
death:
On the 77th of January, 1861 we
assembled at McCaw's old field, just
one mile from where I now reside, to
organize a company. An election OF
officers resulted in R. A. Fair as cap
tain, S. J. Hester, first lieutenant, j.. T
Owen, second lieutenant and E. +.
Power, third lieutenant.
AS this company was not called In
to immediate services I left AbbevilIe
the 2Sth of Jan. for Charleston to join
Captain Perrin's company, which had
left Abbeville on the 18th of Jan. I
found them Oh sullivan's Island quar-
tered in the Moultrie house.
On the 5th of March we were order.
ed to Morris Island, where we re-
mained until after the fall Of Fort
Sumter on the 17th Of April. This
company was disbanded and second
company formed by Captain Perrin
in Abbeville, known as Co. B.
On the 18th Of July we went to
Sandy Springs and Joined Orr's Rifle
Regiment. We remained at Sandy
Springs about six weeks and were or
dered to Summerville, many of our
men were sick there, from there we
went to Sullivan1s Island again where
we remained until March rs. The
regiment was ordered to Guinea Sta
ton, Va. Another conrad and were
ton, Va. Another comrade and were
Goldsborough, N g. When we thought
ourselves we'll enough to join our
command the surgeon refused, we
flanked the guard, went to the back
OF the garden, pulled off the pailings
and boarded the train at the water
tank, and found our. command near
Fredericksburg in small A tents, and
the ground covered with snow. We
remained there until a few days before
the battle of Seven Pines, were order
ed to Richmond, and had our first ex-
perience in marching, the distance be-
Ing sixty miles.
While camped on the Chickahominy
many Of our men took typhoid fever.
and at Dill's farm, three miles north
of Richmond, twenty-eight Of err's
Regiment died. I had fever and got a
furlough and came home
Returning to Virginia IN January
'63, found the command in winter
quarters. Fhis was the severest win
ter we had during the war, many deep
SHOWS fell, and we we're hungry and
cold the whole winter, we remained
here until the spring campaign OPEN
ed.
We were in the battle Of Chancel-
lorsville, and were in the great flank
movement which Gen. Jackson made
at that place. Our company number
ed about forty men, and twenty y-one
were killed or wounded. 1t was In
this battle that our beloved Col. Per-
rim was severely wounded, and died
the next evening at the field hospital.
I assisted in burying him. The large
blue silk flag being near our company
drew the fire causing our company to
suffer severely. Three eoler bearers
were shot down and IS balls passed
through the flag. its staff was shat
tered,
Gen. Hooker being driven back
across the Rappahannock we returned
to our old winter quarters near Fred
.ericksburg, and remained there until
the middle of June, when we started
on the Gettysburg campaign. The
weather was intensely hot, and upon
reaching the Potomac we had It p. to
wade. The battle Of Gettysburg open

FARM ACCOUNTS :
AND GARDENING
FOR FEBRUARY
Feb. 8, 1915.

-: -. Feb. 8, 1915.
There is no item:of farm manage.
nent so important or more neglected
by Southern farmers than the keep.
ing of farm accounts Men speak o1
the cost Of growing cotton, and yet
they can not tell what IT. costs to make
that or any other crop. -.
We are entering upon a new year
and new conditions in southern agri.
culture. To know where you stand
at any given time should be the ulti-
mate aim. Most farmers think that
any system Of farm accounting re-
quires set of books and a book-keep-
er. This means to them an expense
that they are not able to undergo OF
work that they are not trained to do
here need not be anything compIi-
Gated about it. We can estimate our
fields; their size, that is, If they are
not surveyed. Then figure on what
the cost Is of a days work with a
double plow, charge of SO much for
narrowing, seed, fertilizer, planting,
cultivation. AS a. credit, the crop can
be measured and theprice it brings, If
sold, can be credited If tits kept on
the farm the land can be credited with
the, crop t'farm prices. 1t is only In
this way that we can arrive at any
thing like an idea of the cost Of max
ing a crop. - = !. -.
Allsuggestions for garden work and
preparation this month are dependent
On weather conditions for their beinf
carried out. If the ground is not
frozen or too wet, it should be plowed
thoroughly and left in1this condition
two or three days In order that the
cut worms and other Injurious in
sects peculiar to gardens, might be
killed by the cold. Then harrow well
for planting Irish potatoes, English
peas, onions, and set out a few cab
bage for early spring use. 1t Is hard
ly worthwhile, In this connection, to
suggest way for planting Irish pota-
toes, for every farmer has his fathers
or grand-father's idea as to how It
should be done; Ishall- give one
method, however, which scarcely ever
fails, be it wet or dry year. y
Plow out the furrow not less than
ten inches Deep. apply! barn-yard ma
rure at the rate of 800 to 1000 pounds
per acre, on this apply a high grade
fertilizer at 1.-THE rate of $50 to 300
pounds per acre, cover this with
about one inch of earth, plant the po-
tato, and cover about six or eight
inches deep. Give time to sprout well,
then. with a garden rake drag OF two
or three inches of earth. Starting from
this point use your own discretion as
to whether you shall cultivate or COW
er With some kind ofoi1 straw.
So often January and February are
80 set, which has certainly been the
case this year, hat nothing can BE-
done and, opportunity for work should
&c t. kcn advantsss Of. Asparagus beds
can be set out; i'-l!t trees and grape
wires should &c pruned, AMI if we have
the=. which many haven't, our hedges
but this: isn't so Important, ash can
be done little later. Plans shoul' be
made for o twelve months garden. If
you have rot already done so, this Is
good New Years resolution to make
at, this time. =. ..;.:".. 20:
