Applying Manure.

Manure is most valuable when it is
fresh. For that reason, then, it should
be hauled to the field as soon as wealth
err and soil conditions permit. BY all
means, though, never drive on to the
field when there is danger of injuring
the physical condition of the soil.
Unloading manure In piles on the
field Is bad practice. 1t means extra
work. If the pile is allowed to remain
the first heavy rain Is going to leach
the greater part of the soluble plaLt
food into the soil directly beneath
This makes spots in the field. The
enrichened spot grows crops that ma
ture later, and one gets an uneven
crop. With the cereals, lodging often
results, and much grain Is lost.
For hauling manure properly the
manure spreader Is Invaluable 1t not
only does better work, but it is a
means of utilizing horsepower in place
of hand labor. In these days of scar
city of help that point cannot be over
looked Manure applied with spread
err not only goes farther. but because
1t Is spread more evenly and more fine
ly divided It produces greater returns
than when spread with fork.

Spread the grain ON a floor or in the

Every grain must be thoroughly wet

Tasmania has colder winters, except

Appomattox.

Fifty years ago this morning. when
the dogwood WAS breaking into bloom
in southern Virginia. GRANT and LEE
on their own responsibility ended the
war between the States. In the in
tervening years the village that was
then known as Appomattox Court
House has seen no change. except
that the honors of the county seat
have passed To West Appomattox.
whose population is only four hun
dred to-day. Never WAS an obscurer
place the scene Of decisive capitu-
lation.
The famous apple tree, under which
the two commanders did not meet to
agree upon the surrender, survived
the fan of the Confederacy by NJ
more than two or three days. for
the trunk and every branch. twig and
root were converted into souvenirs.
4 most singular circumstance was
that the Mclean farmhouse in which
the terms were reduced to writing
was occupied by man who had
moved from the battlefield OF Bull
Run 10 Appomattox, so that he Wit
messed the first Confederate victory
on the soil Of Virginia as we'll as the
collapse Of the Confederacy.
1t is historically, if not technically,
accurate to say that GRANT and LEE
ended the war at AppomattoX. SHFR.
MAN received JOSEPH f.. Johnston s
submission at Durham's station.
North Carolina. on April 20. and the
commands OF RICHARD TAYLOR and
KIRBY SMITH did not lay down their
arms until the following month. But
political resistance by the Confeder.
acy ceased when LEE announced to
the Army of Northern Virginia that
he had accepted GRANTS terms. II
the Federal commander had insisted
upon unconditional surrender LEE
would probably have seen no alterna-
tive but 10 follow the advice of his
chief of artillery, General f.. r. ALEX
ANDER, and order the army to aban-
don its trains and dispense In the
woods and bushes, every man for
himself, and each to make his best
way, with HIS arms. either to the
army Of General JOHNSTON in North
Carolina, or home TO the Governor Of

have gone on, hut II would have de-
generated into guerrilla warfare with
its attendant horrors. Such was the
opinion of as thoughtful a historian
ns the late CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS,
who, in addressing the American An
tlGunrian Society on October 30, 1901,
set forth (what he conceived to be- the
debt Of gratitude this reunited coun-
