FLAG OF THE MlNUTEMEN.
The Banner Under Which the "Embat-
tied Farmers" FOUGHT.

tIeo armerS" ought.
Under what flag did the ''embattled
farmers fight? There was no nation
al flag then, no state or provincial flag
even. But, says Peleg D. Harrison in
THE Stars and Stripes and Other
American Flags" there was a flag
there nevertheless.
The farmers of Lexington carried the
cornet or standard of the Three Coun.
ty troop. That banner was designed
for local company of cavalry raised
In the counties of Essex, Suffolk and
M1ddlesex, Mass, in 1869. The Office
OF color bearer Of this troop was 3
kind Of Inheritance in the Page fam
lily. The standard was carried in King
Philips war in 1916. When the min
utemen were organized Nathaniel Page
Sd OF Bedford carried the old flag to
the drills. At the midnight alarm Cap
tain Page snatched up the standard
and carried it with him to Concord,
where it waved above the smoke OF
that battle"
The flag Is now preserved under glass
In fireproOf safe Of the Public library
at Bedford, Mass, and can be seen by
arrangement with the librarian.
The ground is crimson cOlOred satin
damask emblazoned with an outstretch-
ed arm, in the hand of which is an up.
lifted sword. This representation is
the color of silver, as are three circular
figures that are probably intended to
represent cannon balls. Upon a gold
cOlored scroll are the words "Vince aut
Moriture" Conquer or DIE. The flag
is about two feet long by one foot six
inches wide.

InOculate Brood SOws.

InOculate Brood SOws.
Brood sows, regardless of the stage
of pregnancy, may be safely treated
for hog cholera, according to special
lists of the United States Depsrtment
of Agriculture. If infection has al,
ready appeared in s1crd, it is gen.
orally conceded that without treat
ment the loss will be from 20 to IS
per cent of the herd, AID that preg-
nant sows will likely abort, Will
sows that live through tic diseas
will not breed until they have recover
ed fully. Even if the disease does
cause the sows to abort, the treat
ment may bring the cows througa
and enable them to recover moro
rapidly than if they were not treated
The best method of inocu'r ton for
brood sows-wnettcr by the stimuli
taneous or serum-alone treatments
is matter Of choice, the SPECIALISTS
say, as the resu IS haze b&tE prac-
tically the same in field experiments
with both methods. In this connection
department specialists point out that
the simultaneous treatment, when
property applied to healthy brood sows
does not produce sterility, as some
persons may believe. The fact that
hyperimmune sows-that is, sows that
are use for serum production and
have received enormous doses of hog
cholera virus-generally farrow nor
NAL litters, confirm this statement,
the specialists say.

When ministers of some Of the great

Tanlac their words carry conviction.
They say what they know to be the
truth. They have put Tanlac to the

The prOprietors of Tanlac have re-

pie in every walk of life, earnestly

tivated crops following the last cult
walton either just before or just after
a penetrating rain. incubation
should be practiced on fields where the
crop has not been grown previously.
Crimson clover furnishes late fall
and winter pasture of good quality
and IT is sometimes cut for hay in the
spring, Its principal value, however, is
to turn under for a green manure crop.
1t fits fairly wall into the ~cotton-crop'

Bur Glover.
Bur clover is a winter-groWing le-
gume which is adapted as Il winter
cover crop in the section from Tenncs-
see and North Carolina southwark. 1t
does not furnish n hay crop but affords
good winter and spring pasture for eat
tie, sheep and hogs. When cleaned
seed are used incubation should be
practiced, otherwise the particles OF
soil which the burs pick up carry suffi-
cient bacteria for incubation.
Peanuts.
The use of peanuts Is fast gaining
ground throughout the South both for
hay and for pasture. The crop does
well on most sandy soils when they are
plentifully supplied with lime. The
Spanish variety Is best adapted for use
as hay and p~asturage. The peanut Is
a legume which fits well into rotations
with cotton or corr as principal crops.
They + frequently planted in rows
alternately with the rows of corn.
About two bushels per acre should be
planted, anu in the northern part Of
the Southern States they should be
Shelled previous to planting, They
make splendid pasturage for hogs,
which eat both vines and nuts. They
also make hay Of good quality which is
relished by both cattle and sheep.
Florida Beggar Weed.
The Florida beggar weed is an an
nual forage plant adapted to the light
sandy soils of Florida and southern
Alabama and Georgia. Like crab
grass, it develops late in the season,
and so is very useful for pasturage
when other pasture plants are at their
poorest. When 20 or 80 pounds per
acre of rough seed are sown after
early crops, such as oats and melons,
