: fredericksburg in december, 1867,
Gen. Hooker was placed in command
of the army of the Potornas. ne
spent the winter in reorganiZing N
recruiting. and entered the field In
| April for a march on Richmond.
Hooker had 12o, 900 men under his
command, while Lee had only hair
that number. Hooker advance on
Fredericksburg, where Lee continued
on the defensive, his plan being to sur
round the place and to defeat n Con-
federates by attacking their hanks
while another force was to crush n
center. The movement oil the TANKS
and rear were successful but the a
gacious Lee, anticipating the main at
tack to be delivered on his left wing,
massed his forces and forced locker
to retire to Charlottesville. The
battle was resumed the following day,
when "Stonewall" Jackson drove In
the right wing under Howard, upon
the Union center led by Hooker, while
Lee prevented the Union left under
Meade from going TO the assistance
OF the imperilled center. "~Stonewall"
Jackson was mortafly wounded dur
ing his engagement. On the third day
Hooker was attacked and defeated by
Lees united forces, and the whole
Union army was driven back across
the Rappahannock.
If Hooker suffered serious defent
at Charlottesville, and was compelled
to resign his command, he more than
redeemed himself at Chattanooga in
the following November. He was the
hero of the famous battle above the
clouds at Lookout Mountain. Hook
er was then serving under Grant. and
he was confronted. mo- by the great
Lee, but by Bragg. The battle began
when Hooker and his men stormed
and carried the earthSyorks- Fighting
Joe land his army had to scale the
almost precipitous sides of the noun
tain. The Confederates were taken
by surprise, but they fought desper-
ately before they were driven from the
position.
Gen. Hooker retired from the army
in 1858 and devoted the remainder of
his life to pursuits of peace. He died
in Garden City, N. Y, in 1879.

To SAVE ALL
LAYING HENS
Food Administration Urges That
They Not BE Sold Or Killed
Before May lst.

Over 100000. 900 eggs will be lost to
the food supply Of the United States if
the old practice of sending hens to mar
ket at this season is continued Figures
compiled by the poultry specialists OF
the United States Department of Agri-
culture show that more than 5000, 600
laying hens. each capable of producing
30 eggs. are sent to market from the
Southern States in the winter and early
spring.
Every effort, therefore, is being made
to encourage farmers to keep their hens
until after the spring laying season,
thereby getting dividend for keeping
the hen through the winter The spec
ialists point out that when hen is sold
for meat early in the spring. the farmer
gets no egg return fo- feeding and
keeping her through the worst months
of the year.
Moreover, the hen il marketable as
poultry after she has produced her
spring eggs. Poultry IN May may bring
. cents pound less than il does in
February. but. they point out, the 80
eggs produced by the hen. largely from
wastes, more than offset any reduction
in the price offered for live poultry
An energetic egg-saving campaign to
prevent early slaughter of the hen that
lays the golden egg" is now being
conducted throughout the Southern
States. North of the Ohio River. far
mers have long appreciated the adyan-
tage of getting the spring crop Of eggs
and marketing their hens after the lay
ing season or in the fall They believe
that adoption of this plan by southern
chicken raisers will be profitable, and
will materially add to the food supply

A SUGGESTION
OF W. P. POPE
Proposes That Draft Law Leave
Farmer Boys at Home
To Till The Soil.

In Il letter to the editor of the BAL
timore sun. Mr. W. 7. Pope, formerly
Of Worcester County, now living in
salisbury, says:
81 read with pleasure your article
written in The sun February > re-
garding "Thc Solving Of the Crop
Problem" wish to state that as
a farmer indorsc every word Of it,
but from observation and experience
there i, one point in particular you
have not touched strong enough, and
this perhaps is the most important
The farmers sons"
/ have had the occasion many
.imcs to bear them say since the new
draft regulations came into effect,
,hat since they have been put in
Glass ! they don't know what to do
about starting their crops. They can
not make their calculations to the
ruling. In many cases the only boy,
he being the manager of the farm, has
been drafted and placed in Class |.
which means. if called after his crop
Is begun that much labor will be
wasted and crops converted into past
urc.
And even more. many are 80 dis
couraged they will not plant as great
AN acreage by far rs they would
otherwise plant, if conditions were
moro Favorable to their staying by
their crops to cultivate and harvest
them II is certainly true if the seed
4, not planted at the proper time the
crops vii no amount to much. The
largest amount of labor necessary TO
a crop is preparing the soil and cul-
tvating it and this means at early
springtime and summer.
Something has been said heretofore
about the boys leaving school and
helping the farmers. This would be
one kind of help, but not of much
value to the farmer. The ineXper-
fenced boy placed on the farm, even
if he could withstand the hardships
of the work. would be of no more
value TO the farmer than would the
undriled soldier be on he firing line,
Now how can We rs farmers pro
ducc the food TO help win the war If
our experienced help is to be taken
from US?
sincerely hope that those com
missioncd will see the situation OF
the farmers and do all they can to
help them in due time
