Aa Effective Bebake. The -late Major-General Harry Heth was the only man in the confederate army whom General Lee called by his first name. Lee addressed even his two sons as "general;" Heth had been the friend of his youth, and Lee loved and trusted him profoundly. Yet this love did not cause the commander-in-chief of the Confederate army for a moment to forget his duty,, as Is shown by an incident described in the . Century: One day before Petersburg Lee rode cup to Heth's tent and said: ""Harry, I should like to ride down your line." " Heth was much flattered at the pro posal, and as they rode side by side he pointed out positions of danger and vantage. Suddenly they came upon a place of much Importance where for several hundred yards' there were no fortifications. ' Surprised, Lee turned to his friend for an explanation. Heth said he had ordered defences for this spot, and had supposed them finished. "See that they are completed at once, Harry," said Lee, and turning his horse, he rode back to headquar ters. After a few days the general again appeared at Heth's tent with the same proposal, and the delighted officer sprang to his horse: Arrived at the ill-fated spot, to Heth's dismay, it was found still open. Without a word Lee turned toward his tent, motioning Heth to follow. Dismounting the commander-in-chief seated himself, and the subordinate stood, wondering what his punishment would be. Lee spoke in his kindest tones. "Harry," he said, "that horse, your wife rldes-'worries me more than -I can tell. He kicks and fights the bit till I fear he will either break her deli cate wrists or pull her arms out of their sockets. Now the best way to take the edge of a nervous horse is to give him plenty of exercise regular exercise morning and night, until he quiets down. For the sake of your wife as well as yourself, I beg you to make the experiment; and! know of ' no better place for you to ride the .horse, 'while taming him, than just up and down in front of that gap I ordered you to have closed, until a good breastwork has been completed. Good evening, sir." The rebuke was given kindly, even affectionately; yet the recipient .de clared that he never slept a wink that night and for days afterward felt as if he had been beaten with a club. Scavenger ef Battlefields. These are rare' days for the vultures ' of South Africa. ' The horrid carnage of war supplies 'them 'with food a--plenty and to spare. Julian Ralph describing recently a ride to Bloem- fontein in the wake of Roberts' victori ous, army wrote: "I saw ahead of me a swarm of vul tures soaring, in as thick a cloud as If they had been moths. As I drew nearer I noticed that the bulk of each one's body was yery great On the ground, where there were two score waddling about, they seemed even larger. They marked the outer edge of the great and horrid field of the carnage. Many dead horses lay oa the veldt,- and these 'birds were ? eating some and perching, on the backs, of others. Foul, .nauseous, ugly, beastly birds are these. They were to be my constant companions for three days. I was to see' hundreds upon hundreds of them, and never once, by day, fail to see them. Tet there were not enough ot them to make away with all the ; food that war had given them." Natural as is the feeling of repulsion, wnicn tne preppcu ot these scavengers of the baltlo field arouses. In' .the economy 'of nature they 'perform, a most useful work. They lessen ' the danger of pestilence. They really stake 'war less terrible to those who escape death by the enemy. "Aaeavogels," which means carrion, scavengers; the Boers, call them. Of recent years .It has been noticed that their nmber has greatly . decreased, owing; to the de struction of the big game, which great ly dimislshed their funeral banquets. But apparently the tidings that man's hand had turned against man la one small portion of Africa, has traveled far and wide among them and they have gathered together to partieipato) in the feast A war correspondent also tells of seeing the secretary bird "a stately l UUa, UV1UID5 U1UWC11 flVUWJ i OUII stalking along with noble strides as he glanced about him for a breakfast of snakes." The secretary bird In ap pearance" presents a striking contrast I to the vTilture. Man hails It as a ! friend. Because of its usefulness In j destroying venomous snakes it is pro- j tected in all parts of Africa. ! As many as, three large snakes have been taken from' tie stoatac of one of these birds, besides lixards. tortoises and a quantity of graaahoppera. When attacking a cobra tlie awstaryj-bird defends itself -front "the veaoMeu? i fengs fcy holdlag Its wiag ta frost as a shield and strikes the snake down by vigorous blows of Its feet. Frequently It kills a large snake by carrying it high in the air and then dropping It to the ground. . It is called the secretary bird be cause of its fancied resemblance to a secretary who is supposed to carry quill pens behind his ears. - CkarleatewH Km Yard. Briefly It might be stated that the location of Charleston navy yard was recommended Jon. 2, 1797, and the jurisdiction .of the land, which had .been gradually purchased, was ceded to the United States by the common wealth of Massachusetts on June 17, 1800. The site is historic, being the famous Moultons point, where the British troops debarked for the battle of Bunker Hill, and much of the Brit ish line In the various advances occu pied portions of the ground. Skulls and bones have frequently been dug up while excavations were being made hi the old, days. The original site comprised nearly three-quarters of the present area, the balance being addi tions made by purchase or from grants from the state, as last year, when twenty acres of the water front were ceded. Where the yard battery stand3 has been a fortified place since the landing of the Massachusetts bay col ony in Charlestown, and the guns with which it was equipped just before the battle of Bunker Hill were removed, by the patriots and used in .the colo nial defense atthat memorable strug gle. In 1667 the first dry dock in this country was established in Charlestown near' the navy yard site, by James Russell and others, aided by the col ony, it could accommodate a vessel of 300 tons, sufficient for those days and for a long time afterward. The yard site, too, has always been a ship building place. It takes its name from Robert Moulton, who was afterward an admiral in the Commonwealth army, and who was sent out, from England in 1629 in charge of six ship carpen ters. The land at the point was al lotted to. them because of its adapt ability for ship building purposes. On this spot was constructed the first vessel, afterwards armed by the colony to proceed against pirates, hence Admiral Hichborn's claim that as this was the first armed vessel fit ted up by the. colony, the spot is the birthplace of the American navy.. . Gea. John M. ScboHeld. Perhaps the most prominent of the surviving officers of the federal ar mies is General John M. Schofield. He was born in New York sixty-nine years ago. His father, a clergyman, remov ed to Illinois when his, son, was twelve years old,- and Johnfwent tp fyfest Point as a cadet from Fpeepbrt, StV phenson county. He.-, graduated 'from West Point in 1853; stahdingEeventh in the class, which included among its members Generals McPherson, Sheridan, Stil, terrlll, R. O. Tyler, and the confederate Hood!. When the wax broke out he was' serving 'as professor of physics at Washington University, St Louis, after many years of service in' the south. He promptly entered the volunteer service of Missouri, and in November, 1861, he twas appointed brigadier general of thevolunteers. For several months in 1862 he com manded the District o( the- Missouri. In the early part of the next year he organized and commanded the Army of the Frontier, which' saw hard fight ing in Missouri and" Arkansas. He went back again in 1863 to the com mand of the Department' of. the Mis souri, yhlch'he retained until January 31, 1864. Ton', that date he .was as signed atthe. request of General Grant to the command of the department and Army, of the Ohio, forming the left wing 'of General Sherman's army in Georgia. In October of that year he commanded the troops opposed tc General Hood's army in Tennessee. In April; 1865, General Schofield re ceived the surrender- of General John ston's army. After the war he re mained in the regular service, and ii 1888 was assigned to the command ol the army of the United States. Chica go Tribune. Flams for American Markets. Just at present Japanese -and Euro pean plums seem to have the places of honor in this, country.- The grower, however,is getting a little afraid of the Japanese .varieties, mainly because of the great variation . in .the season of ripening. This Is not due to any weak ness in the variety, as is thought, but rather, to natural changes caused by the difference .between the countries. Japan plums 'are just getting acclimat ed.'ahd until this accomplished there will be some variation in the season of ripening. We have -but few American varieties, but all of them are worthy-of culture. If they are a little smaller than European sorts and the skin is no quite so tender, they are sweeter, more juicy and of decidedly ( better flavor, and should have a place on every farm where plums are grown. Nurserymen yare taking 3 hold, of the good old American varietiesand'when they are again j catalogued andMtheir true vafuebetter'appreciated they "will make a name for themselves among those wlio1 prefer quilty td"s'ize an good looks; 4 . ji it : 1 ' v. Dr. Eugene Murray Aaron calls the eruption ot;the;..yolcanpiKrakatua-in Java "the greatest explosion of mod ern times." He says: "It is quite safe to say. when we are asked the ques tion as to -which of all the' mighty manifestations of God's power In this world thus far within the ken of science has been the most, stupendous, the .most all-overwhelming, that the terrific annihilation of Krakatua, in 1883, surpasses all else.

Of the thirteen elements necessary for plant growth, theTfarsters nasally need take hat little care, axceptlag im' the supply of potasstaUB, ptospfcoras, and nitrogen,-and of these three nitro gen is the most precious and costly to obtain. All agricnltnral plants draw much of their food .from the atmos phere, and of those used by the farmer probably none are micfc exceeded by clovef in the large projportlos of nutri ment thus derived. ;Inthis respect other leguminous crone are much like red clover. Clover seed is the best manure that a farmer'can use. Clover has bees called a trip for nitrogen, as it collects and prosaats large quan tities of combined sitjmge ta a form ready to nourish growing crops. In the words of Dr. Kedsle. "With an adequate supply of combined nitrogen all the other chemicals of agriculture become active, while a limited supply of active nitrogen correspondingly limits the action of the rest For high farming or the raising of exceptionally large crops, the great want Islam abundant and icheap .supply of am monia and the nitrates. As acre of good clover will make 6.000 pounds of hay, containing 282V& pounds of min eral matter or ash. In the ash will be 97K pounds of potash, if pounds otA lime, 34) pounds of magnesia, and 28 pounds of phosphoric acid. The hay will also contain 108 pounds of com bined nitrogen. The roots and stubble contain fully as much of these ele ments as the hay. J. B. Lawcs found that In antumn after the last crop of clover was cut, that remaining above ground and to the depth of 27 inches, was examined: Pounds per acre, dry: Stubble, etc., above ground con- 1st nine inches belowground con tained ..." '...'. 3,017 2d nine inches below ground con- IftlDcU ev " a 2f da 3d nine inches below ground con tained 191 Total 6.152 , This was between three and four times as much dry matter as the resi due of the barley. In the words of Kedzie, "The clover hay, or sod, con tains enough phosphoric acid for more than double an average crop; enough nitrogen for more than four average crops, and potash for more than six average, crops of wheat,! If any person were preaching the gospel ot agricul ture, he well might hold up the triple leaf of the' red clover as the symbol of a trinity, of blessing to the farmer, furnishing for his cereal crops, from otherwise inadequate sources, a suffl cient? supply; of f pSfciasitiini phosphorus, and nitrogen. IfLI ' were! designing an emblematic aeal of. our, i , -, r 5 .i -1 . r national agriculture, -Ir would ., "r--. w-r -- rr .- . - . me central figure the clover lent For the farmer it is the most effective trap for nitro gen within his reach. it BeaM.ApBla-Orawtaa m la The story of success Is always a pleasing one,' lnstlUlngi hope in 'the breast of the listener and stimulating him.to greater, endeavor. The man who :scpres"aiseaess in; his particular line. eflegitianeAe.AaJwiaJLiiig contributes materially to the general prosperity of bis community "and is a working ele ment in the welfare of the world. The development of .that 'section of 3 the United, States so indefinitely character ized, as- "the'West" has furnished many worthy examples of surmounting great obstacles, overcoming 'discouragement, and of the final triumph of the sturdy, persevering pioneer. Many are the experiences related, showing the' Mar velous possibilities of the country' when backed hy level judgment and willing muscle. One man's require, ments often happily combining with another's ability work great advantage to both. Such a circumstance effected the beginning of the 'success of Fred Wellhouse, of Kansas, the most exten sive commercial orchardist In the United States. He is widely known as the "apple king," of Kansas, and the story of his eminently successful career in orcharding should be an In spiration to all who tread it Some thing of it Is related here by Mr. F. D. Cohurn, secretary ot the Kansas board of agriculture. The year 1875 found Mr. Wellhouse without money, but with a' definite knowledge ' of . tree-growing and- or charding In Kansas acquired by years of close observation 'combined with practical experience, and foil of faltn in the possibilities ot the state for fruit growing. L. B. Wheat, a lawyer, of Leavenworth, owned, three tracts of 437 acres ot land which was not profit able. Mr. Wellhouse closed a contract with Wheat to plant this, 160 acres near Fairmount and 117 acres near 1 Glenwood, with apple - trees. These lands had' cost Mr. Wheat with Im provements, about fia.OOO and could be rented' for perhapfcSl per acre. He furnished the land, fenced it (breaking that part of It not previously ta cul tivation),, erected buildings for ten ants, dug wells, etc. Wellhouse 4k Son (the .firm name) furnished the trees. "planted, cultivated and took care of them until they came into bearing, getting ail grain grown on' unoccupied land between the trees, and paid taxes for the first Ave years. After that Mr. jWheat paid taxes anH each party was to bear' one-half of the expenses and each receive one-half of the' income nntll Wellhouse 4k Son should receive 15 bushels per tree, or so long as the trees -might bear. The Glenwood or chard was planted in the spring of 1878; the Miami county tract ta 1878, and the Fairmount orchard in 1879, with varieties aa follows: Glenwood tract (117 acres): Ben Davis, 60 acres; Wfnesap, 16 acres; Missouri Pippin, 41 acres. t Miami county tract; (160 acres): Ben Davis, 80 acres; Missouri Pippin. 42 acres; Maiden's Blush,8 acres; Coop er's.

The -years ot usefulness of these or chards were from 188 to 1895 during which time they produced a total ot 41M17 bushels, giving a' net income of 2104.000 or I62.9M as a result of the venture to each partyduring the fifteen years active life of the orchards.

From their long experience ta com mercial orcharding the Messrs. Well hoaee are maklag their later plant ings In about the following ratio as to varieties, viz.: Ben Davis, 100; Missouri Pippin, 50; Jonathan, 40; Gano, li; York Imperial, 15. Their trees are set, when two years old, ta trenches instead of holes. 1 f eet apart ia tows north and south and, the rows thirty-two feet apart. There are three main reasons for adopting this plan. First, with the trees so close together they form their own 'windbreak, mak ing hedges or belts of timber unneces sary. Second, the' dense shade makes the evaporation of moisture from the soil less imminent Third, it is easier to secure a good permanent stand by close planting, and the excess of trees,' it there Is any, can be removed as may be desirable; Nature of Cera Batat. A publication of the Illinois Experi ment Station says: 8mut aa it Is com monly called Is a plant; not of course, one of the high forms like our flower ing plants, but one very low in the scale of plant life, belonging with the grain rusts, moulds, toadstools, etc, to a clsss of plants called fungi!. The smuts belong with those that get their food directly from other living plants. so they are- called parasites, or para sitic funjad. Everyone is acquainted with, th sooty masses that break, out on corn, known as corn smut These smut-balls are made up of the spore, or seed, stage of the fungus. There are millions of these very' minute spores in each 'of the smut-balls. The' earlier stage of the smut, concerned 'with obtaining food, etc., is composed of very small threads that spread through the tissues of the corn plant, and when the fungus 13 ready for spore-fofmation they multiply rapidly in certain places and change into these smut-balls. As a usual thing with the smuts of our cereals, the fungus be gins its development with the penetra tion of the germinating seed by its germs. The fungous threads grow within and with the plant and no signs of the fungus is shown, to the naked eye until it begins to form its spores into the dusty masses that appear on special parts of the infected plant In this state besides corn smut there are several others that occur on our cereals. On wheat there is the com mon loose smut that utterly destroys the seed and its enveloping flower parts; also one or two kinds of stink ing smuts that fill the seeds with a dusty mass of spores but do not change their shape materially or de stroy the enveloping chaff. On barley so tar only one kind has been found here and that apparently is not very common. The only species on oats Is the loose smut that destroys the grain after the manner of the loose smut of wheat On broom-corn there is a smut that occurs in the inner flower parts forming seed like bodies filled with spores. There is also sometimes found on our grasses (timothy, blue-grass and red-top) a smut that shows as smutty lines breaking out on the leaves. Sheep Items, A western sheep man has arranged to secure the screenings from local mills at Sioux City to be used in feed ing 10,000 sheep this winter which will be brought to Sioux City and fed in the yards there. A Cerro Gordo County (la.,) corres pondent writes that sheep are on tne increase in his part of the country, that a small flock is to be seen in every farm yard. A good many lambs are dying of worms. -During the last two weeks In Au jguest the receipts of sh.)p at the Chi cago yards were very large. 88,000 and 85,000 being the record for the two weeks mentioned. Feeders sold rather better than mutton sheep. To make our sheep as ideal as possi ble, it is necessary that, in conjunc tion with the close study of breed quality, we must adhere to our mean ing of breed type. It is not only ne cessary to select a certain breed be cause it has a reputation for some de sirable characteristic, but we must see to it that the breed type is clearly shown. When the sheep shows the type of the breed which it represents, then it is the best guarantee for pre potency in breeding. This is a char acteristic of our ideal sheep. Hon. John Dryden: There is no doubt that the block is the final test of the skill that we as breeders are trying to exercise in carrying on our business. We sometimes talk about the butcher's standpoint and breeder's standpoint but I think the breeder and batcher ought to come together. We' breeders are trying to capture the trade of the best consumer, or tho consumer that will give us the most money for our goods; that is the idea. Ton cannot very well find out what the. standard required Is unless you see. the animal upon the block. Greaalae; Petateea. "Greening" potatoes is practical among some of the peasants of Europe. In this, country we do not think a greened potato is good for anything, and so we always keep them out of the light - If they are allowed to re main In the light and become green, they become too strong m flavor to be eaten. But it is said that such pota toes make good seed. The peasants put them in a sunny place and they are turned over every day till they become fully green, after which they are stored. It is said that potatoes so treated do not sprout readily and will stand a greater degree of cold. They are also said to be less affected by rot Ia the' spring their vitality is good and they readily grow when planted. However, the facts of these assertions have yet to be demonstrated on this side of the water, and It may be found that there is no advantage at all In the greening. Aaaaala for Winter Bloeaalnr. One of our exchanges recommend! the use of annuals for winter bloom ing and suggests that ageratum anc aysgam from August sown seed art very satisfactory.
