that Bragg was roinforclng his right,
and told Gen. Frank P. Blair, who
was tionr me, of that fact. He grabbed
my glasses, looked for himself, nnd
thpn handed them to Gen. Sherman,
who confiscated them on tho spot. ()
havo never jet recovered thorn 1 This
Is by way of diversion, however.)
Our troops wero repulsed, but Grant
had achieved his object In compelling
Bragg to weaken his center, nnd ho
hurled Thomas' army of tho Cumber
land nt tho heights and broko Bragg
In two.
I published nn account of this stone
throwing scene In a letter dated Nov.
2G, 18G3, using theso words among
others: "The enemy put into execu
tion n system of wnrfaro worthy of
tho ancients. They began throwing
stones," and then' I went on to de
scribe the new stylo of bombardment.
The publication was recoived with In
credulity. I wns most unmercifully
ridiculed by papers all over tho coun
try for tho fertility of my imagina
tion, and somo said very plainly that
I was an Incorrigible liar who was de
faming the Union troops by represent
ing that they had been whipped by
Confederates throwing stones nt them.
I had to wait patiently for the con
firmation of my story. Tho first from
the Confederate side I found In a cap
tured letter which now lies beforo
mo. It wns dated "Camp near Dal
ton, Ga.. Dec. 4th, 1804;" is nddresscd
"My Dear Sister," nnd is signed
"Ned," tho writer being Lieut. Ed
ward Spurrier, Fiftieth Tennesseo In
fantry. His whole letter Is nbsorblngly ns
well ns historically Interesting as de
pleting tho desperate fortunes nnd
terrible sufferings of Bragg's troops
during tho winter of 18G3-4. But 1
quote now only this part which refers
to tho stone-throwing oplsode:
"Manoy's brlgado fought upon tho
right nnd acquitted thcmseHes with
great credit, resisting every charge
that was made against us. Wo fought
them at twenty paces for over half an
hour.
"Muny of our guns becoming so
fouled as to bo rendered unservice
able, the men throw them down nnd
fought with rocks. Our colonel
knocked tho colors out of a Yankee's
hands with n rock."
It may bo necessary to state that
ln tho southern dialect "rock" Is equiv
alent to stono In northern parlance.
It Is not necessary, however, at this
late date to explain that tho term
"Yankees" as applied to tho union
troops was not used ln derision nny
more than wns that of "Johnny Rebs,"
as our troops called tho Confederates.
When tho pickets met, which was
not Infrequently, to exchange tobacco
and papers for coffeo and quinine, they
alluded to each other as "you Y'anks"
and "you rebs" without offending each
othor. They were familiar addresses,
not opprobrlus epithets. Tho women
and children, with moro of hnto thau
fight ln them, used to call us "Ynnkeo
gorillas" In responso to our official
declaration that unenllsted southern
ers caught with guns ln their hands
should bo regarded as "guerrillas,"
using tho term In tho Spanish sense.
Tho second confirmation of this
"miraclo of war" I got In 1884 from
Gon. Georgo Maney when ho was a
guest of tho Fifth Avenue hotel dur
ing tho Blalno campaign. Ho com
manded tho right brlgado of Bragg's
army, which throw tho stones.
Georgo Alfred Townsend nnd I hap
pened to meet Gen. Maney nt tho
hotel, and In tho course of tho conver
sntion I alluded to tho fight, to my de
scription of it, and of tho stone-throwing
episodo and to Llout. Spurrier's
letter. Maney said ho personally know
Spurrier and that ho certainly took
part In tho stone-throwing. Ho ndded
that not only wero tho muskets fouled,
but that Ewlng's troops got so closo
to tho summit of tho hill ho was de
fending that his urttllery could no
longer bo depressed sufficiently to fire
on tho advanced brigade, which they
had to fight hand-to-hand.
So much for that "miraclo," which
I am not certain my friend accepted
in good faith or as better attested
than what he calls "tho alleged rais
ing of Iizarus from tho dead." I
don't suppose ho will credit tho sec
ond instance, In support of tho Times'
correspondent's story of the destruc
tion of tho artillery at Vafangow, slnco

had myself to rise after being In

Three Divisions Affording Great Chances for
Settlement Ranching, Wheat-Growing
and Mixed Farming.
Tho old Romans used to say that
Gaul was divided Into thrco parts;
bo is tho Canadian North West. Gaul's
divisions woro political; thoso of tho
Western Cnnnda prairies nro created
by tho unerring hand of nature.
The First Division.
Chiefly because of tho elevation of
tho country, tho absonco of largo
lakes and rivers, and tho operations
of tho "Chinook" or Pacific ocean
winds, which readily cross the Rocky
niountnlns In Southern Alberta
through gaps and passes, tho south
western portion of tho Canadian prov
inces is regarded as somowhat arid,
and less fertile than other portions of
Jio country.
Although this has been a prevailing
idea ln tho past, it has been left for
American settlers, who havo invaded
this district within tho past two or
throo years, to provo that splendid
Itiuot 9f tort Urua,
IT
crops of grain can bo grown on tho
land.
While there aro no largo lakes or
rivers in this whole country thero are
numerous fast running streams fed
the year round by melting snows In
tho mountains, furnishing nn abund
anco of tho coolost and purest water,
the best for beast as Well as man.
Englishmen nnd Americans ln the
western territories aro bringing in
their herds as fast as they can and
leasing or purchasing land ln lots
from 1,000 to 20,000 acres from tho
Dominion government. An Idea of the
grow,th of tho industry will, however,
bo gathered from tho fact that in 1899
thero wero but 41,471 head of cattle
shipped and sold from tho ranches.
Theso figures ran to 55,129 ln 1900,
and to 160,000 in 1903, averaging $40
per head for tho owners. But it takes
a great many ranchers and a largo
number of cattlo to cover an area of
200,000,000 acres, tho area available
for ranching ln tho Canadian North
west. It Is not at all necessary that largo
Investments should bo made at tho
outset. Many men commenced with
smnll capital and small herds, and
Imvo worked themselves Into largo
herds and great wealth. Thero Is still
In tho country plenty of room for
thoso who desiro to go anil do like
wise. The Second Part.
Tho second part of tho Canadian
prairies embraces tho great wheat
growing bolt of tho country, which
Is ca&lly n half larger than any other
In tho world. It Includes about 150,
000,000 acres. As it Is comparatively
freo of broken land, largo lakes and
rivers, about ISC.000,000 acres of It
can bo brought under tho plow. Plac
ing a farmer on every halt section
(320 acres) It can comfortably locato
800,000 farmers, or 4,000,000 of an
agricultural community. Tho terri
torial government's reports show that
in 1903 thero wero raised 10,629,149
bushels of spring wheat off 837,234
acres, an avcrago of 19.86 bushels per
acre; off 440.G62 acres of oats thero
were grown 14,179,703 bushels, an av
erage of 32.17 bushels per acre;
v .... I'Vlnlon jTltlinrt
69.6G7 acres produced 1,741,209 bush
els of barley 24.65 to tho acre,
and 32,431 acres produced 292,853
bushels of flax seed, 9.03 to tho acre.
As but 1,383,434 acres, or a llttlo bet
ter than ono per cent of tho entire
wheat growing area of tho territories
was under crop, a llttlo figuring shows
that 13 per cent of tho entlro country
mder wheat will ralso tho 200,000,000
that Great Britain annually requires
from tho outsldo countries. It Is a
fairly safo statement to make that ln
twelvo or fifteen years tho Cnnndian
prairies will bo supplying tho entire
demands of tho mother country.
Throughout this entlro bolt thero is
an enormous longth of railway mile
age, branches aro radiating ln every
direction from tho trunks until they
scarcely leave a grain field moro than
six or scvon miles from a road, and
.hoy aro all required, for in tho fall
and early winter tho sight of tho
trains passing to and from tho eleva
tors at tho railway depots makes tho
entlro country look like ono hive of
Industry. In 1880 thero wero but few
white settlers in tho entlro country,
outsldo of thoso connected with tho
Hudson Bay Company's posts, and
scarcoly a dollar's worth of anything
outside of buffalo hides exported till
1883, twenty yers ago, and now the
country has a white population of over
halt a million, tho Immigration of 1903

purchase railway or other company
lands they can bo got at from $5 per

better closed than by showing prac
tically what is made by wheat grow
ing In this district. Tho average from
tho first of operations is twenty bush
ela per aero. Breaking tho prairie, as
first plowing is called, Is of course,
an exceptional expenditure, as when it
is onco done, it Is done for all tlmo.
This costs about ?3.50 an acre. After
tho breaking, plowing nnd seeding,
harvesting, threshing and marketing
nil expenses combined amount to
nbout $5.25 per acre, that Is if a man
likes everything done it will cost him
$5.25 per acre. If ho does tho work
himself ho Is earning wnges while

average yield Is twenty bushels, and
tho average prlco 60 cents $12 per

a half section of land nnd puts half
of it, 160 acres, under wheat, which
Is a very common occurrence, ho
makes $1,080 on wheat alono and
should mako, if ho Is a capable farmer
enough, out of other crops, sale of cat
tle, dairy and other products, to keep
himself and family tho year round be
sides. The Third Division.
Tho third division of this great
country lies to tho north of tho wheat
bolt; between lt and what is known
as the forest country. As wheat grow

mixed farming aro dairying and tho
talsing of farm stock. It must. not
bo supposed that dividing tho prairies
in this way is saying that any ono por
tion of tho country possesses better
soil than another, for such Is not the
case all districts aro equally fertile,
but tho topography and climatic influ
ences, etc., differ, as well as the condi
tions for production. Ranching and
grain growing aro carried on quite
successfully in this northern zone;
but It Is found moro profitable to com
bine all tho features of tho Industry.
An authority on tho subject has
stated that agriculture ln any country
iiever reaches the maximum of de
velopment until the farmers engage at
least proportionately In dairying,
though tho surroundings must always
determlno tho extent to which any
feature of tho industry may bo prose
cuted. Dairying.
In tho territories creameries and
cheeso factories aro to a iargo extent
under government control, and as
such aro working well. In Manitoba
they aro largely a matter of prlvato
enterprise, and from tho reports from
that provinco they must bo giving ab
eoluto satisfaction to tho patrons and
promoters. If a settler's farm is not
specially adapted to extensive crop
ping, or If seasons or other conditions
nro against tho proper development
of largo crops, ho has always plenty
of pasturo and an abundance of nativo
hay for winter feed. A small sum of
money buys a couplo of cows, and ho
can soon bo In possession of a fino
herd of dairy cattle, and tho samo
may bo said of swino and poultry.
Markets.
Tho mining districts of British
Columbia, which consume an Im
mense lot of dairy products, aro closo
at hand, and always afford a good
market for butter, cheese, pork, poul
tr; and eggs. When in tho futuro that
country is overstocked Great Britain
offers as now a ready market foi
whatever may bo produced. Takon
for all ln all, tho Canadian Northwest
's tho country for tho man acquainted
with, or willing to loam any branch ol
farming. In tho industry, with a few
yoa'rs of caro and enterprise, ho can
soon consider hlmsolf and his famllj

leaving off all fatty food. I had no

all sho said for mo as I had tried so
many thlug3 without any help. But
it was so simplo I thought I would
give lt a trial sho insisted so.

"Glad you did child, do you feel
somo better?'
"'No,' I said, 'I do not know as I
do, tho only dlfferonco I can seo Is I
have no sour stomach and como to

I soon got strong and well again and
