Font RoniNSON , Nob. , Ausust 21. [ Spo-
clal to TUB BEB.1 Lust night , under n star
lit suy , the soldiers of the Department of
the I'latto lay down to soldiers' dreams for
the first time In Camp Crook. Ten civilian
eyes gazed upon the spectacle. The sight
was one whlcli will not soon bo forgotten by
those who witnessed It , What had been a
city of marble during the day , In the earlier
liours of the night had become n city almost
of llvlnir flro. The tents of the day had
been transformed Into stationary Chinese
lantern * of glguntlo proportions. The occu
pants , us they moved nbout within them ,
nppoared llko no many silhouettes endowed
with vivacity nnfl Intelligence.
When "taps" were sounded iho notes were
taken up nlong the line llko the echoing and
reechoing of the expressive sounds from
each comp.iny.
Tno response upon the part of the tent-
dwellers were almost Instantaneous. It was
watched by old campaigners with Interest ,
nnd one of these who stood beside mo re
marked , "I never saw n tnoro itiutantuneoui
response in my life. " Even us ho spoke the
plain in front of us WHS transformed from
one almost/ living coals to one of the black
ness of night.
Yesterday , General Brooke hod decided ,
would bo given over to rest. Accordingly ,
there was no drill. The few soldiers who
were compelled to do fatigue duty und these
who wore on guard , ulono had to work. The
other lounged in tholr bunks , rambled to the
post or slept.
v For a short time the band of the Ninth
cavalry , under Prof. Waters , entertained the
soldiers In various parts of the camp with
programmes of interesting music delightfully
played.
General Brooke received calls from u num
ber of-his officers , and Major Vrooin entered
upon his first formal inspection of the camp.
Some of the commanders , however , were not
prepared for the event , and their men will
ator bo subjected to the major's practiced
eye.
eye.Chief Clerk Davis,1 of the adjutant gen
eral's office , of Omaha , nt length has ob
tained his full quota of five dorks , and finds
no dlfliculty In kcoulug them employed. ' 1 hu
orders issued to the different commands are
voluminous and require to bo gotten out with
neatness nnd despatch. Mr. Davis says ho
is able to do this , but bemoans the fact that
ho bus been the victim of wind , dust and
rain since his arrival. Ills ten I is uavcd
with sawdust , which , lie says , is on antidote
for dust , nnd receives bis most hearty appre
ciation.
Private Clayton , of E company , of the
Second infantry , who died at Homingford on
Tuesday last , was buried to-day with mili
tary honors , u squad of E company , of the
Second infantry , and the Dand of the same
regiment being in attendance.
Lieutenant Trier , of Company D , Seven
tcouth infantry. Fort Bridjjer , heard bad
news on bis arrival. His wife had left homo
before the departure of his company and had
gone to her former homo in Missouri
{ Shortly after her arrival tliero she was
taken sick , and word was transmitted here
to .bo given to her husband on his arrival.
\Vbon the gentleman arrived he was notiOed
of the fact , und with stain of travel almost
upon his clothes , hastened to the bedside of
Ills stricken helpmeet.
Jim Stephenson , of Omaha , through his
partner , C. F. Williams , has eight four-horse
teams here , in which luggage aggregating
50,000 pounds , belonging to ttio "Fort Douglas
and Brldger troops , wus hauled from Bor
deaux to this point , u distance of 123 miles.
Pay day will arrive about the 5th of next
month , when , it is estimated , not loss than
$75,000 will bo paid into the hands of the
country's defenders.
The Second infantry , General Whoaton's
command , IB in excellent condition. Tlio
general himself is in the enjoyment of robust
.health nnd as genial as over.
Major Butler , who , when I saw him leav
ing for Kournoy , looked as if he had too
early risen from a sicu-bod , has become
-round , red and rosy la the breezes und sun
shine.
Adjutant Kinzio is as florid as a blushing
tenor and his notes have lost , none of their
sweetness in the Kearney canal.
Quartermaster Saraou is as. busy as over ,
although his family is not so largo as it is
when lie In iu Omaha.
Lieutenant Chrissmau has boon particu
larly busy as engineer afllocr nnd vvhou the
column goes again the march will have in
creased work on the signal service.
Dr. Cochran has little to do , only two sick
young men having to-day applied to him for
relief.
Lieutenant T. H. Wilson , In command ol 13
company , docs not allow the duties oven of
officer of the day to prevent him from writ
ing for the paiiors , and it is moro than likely
that his confreres will road some of his
efforts before they rotuin homo.
E company is in command of Lieutenant
Clark.
X > company is commanded oy Lieutenant
Warring , who suffers from thujunpleasant
ness of u cold in the head.
Captain Catly , of C company , has iu no
way been aillictod by the walk and was this
.morning among .the earliest risers.
Lieutenant Uowcll holds his own with the
exception that there is a bronze upon
his cheeks which ban supplanted that of the
palo cast of thought which mantled thorn
when ho loft for Kearney.
Major Kellur's vivacity and methods
change not under stranger skies. His lent
Is in a corner and it is siua that before the
western zephyrs can roach his brother
officers they must first secure his permission.
The permission Is never grudgingly granted ,
however.

by helping Kearney build a cotton mill , was
in tbo box , and with the assistance of his
eight associates pitched n good piuno for the
visitors , barring the sending of six men to
bases on balls at critical paints In the game.
The contest opened with two cyphers ,
one for each club , but in the second
end Omaha scored four times. Walsh got
base on balls and on n hit by Andrews
went to third. Wally then stole second , nnd
on a throe Backer by Mcssltt both scored.
The cheers of a small boy on the bleaching
boards nt this Juncture were thrilling.
On Cnnavan's hit Andrews scored. Jltnmio
afterward stole second nnd crossed the plate
after Kennedy had filled all the bases by
giving men balls they could not reach by tel
ephone , nil because there was no base for
him to rest upon. But finally the Omaha ; )
were retired , nnd then DOS Moines nddcd an
other gooseberry to their side of the tabu
lated result.
Omaha made a run In the sixth. Andrews
got a base on balls , stole second , nnd after

Bettor Culture of Corn.
Old settlers comparing present meth
ods of corn cultivation with thoao of the
past can see a great improvement. Tlio
land is much bettor prepared , writes
James Wilson in the Iowa ilomestoau.
The stand is far moro uniform.
There is moro burrowing dono.
Plowing is done earlier and the
crop is laid by sooner. The average
yield , consequently , is better , and with
our present machinery to tend the crop
is made more cheaply. Slougns are be
ing gradually drained , which adds to
the capacity of old corn Holds , In east
ern and central Iowa old pastures uro
plowed up for growing corn and greater
yields had than on the virgin pralrio.
Wo sell abroad but 03,000,000 bushels of
the 2,000,000,000 raised. "Wo are greatly
extending our area in corn , as well as
greatly improving methods of culture.
The aggregates will undoubtedly
grow greater. There is little encouragement -
agomont hold out to do vote any of our
corn land to anything else. The wheat
growers of the now west and of the
now south cannot change to other
crops. Their poverty compels them to
grow the readiest crop or. now laud , and
that invhoat. . The wheat grown over
the new prairie \villboforo many years ,
exhaust what grows it , and then wo ean
consider growing wheat in the older
settled counties of lowu. The cheap
grain era seems to bo upon us. Cheap
production is our closest , ally just now.
Strawberry i'lantn in
There is ono ndvantage in setting out
strawberry plants at tins time , and thut
is , if care is taken to secure n good
thrifty start to grow in the fall , the
plants will boar the next spring , writes
N. J. Shepherd in the NobraskaFarmer.
But in n dry or rather sandy soil , it is
sometimes rather ditllcult to got the
plants well started in growing.
The soil should be in good till at the
start. This is important so that in set
ting out the plants , very little work will
bo required to have the Foil come in
close contact with the plants. Of the
different plans usually followed iu setting
ting out cut plants , I prefer to puddle
them. Take loamy soil , good rich soil
is always the best , put a quantity in a
shallow pan or vessel and add water un
til it is almost the consistency of cream.
Do not tuko up too many plants at
once ; keep roots shaded. Put them in
this mud und work thorn around it until
tlioro is us much us posaiblo adhering
to it. A garden trovral is a good im
plement to use in setting out the plants.
.Have the rows already worked out and
then make the place for the plant ,
spread out the root carefully and put
the soil uround carefully and press'
down HO that the roots will coino in
close contact with the soil. If the
weather is very dry and warm I con
sider it best to water two or throe times
at least until the plants start to grow.
But in what may bo considered nn
ordinary season , this may not bo neces
sary and they will bo able to make a
good growth before cold weather sots
in. Less cultivation will bo required
by this plan , than by spring or full sot
ting.
Points of a Oooil Horso.
The first consideration Is posture. A
liorfio standing should coino well on his
logs ; thatis , , his forelegs should bo
well in front ; hisliind legs under the
incident ot weight or the pointr of the
hind quarter. Horses of value cover
their ground long , low , naturally and
Tvldo. The happy hit of strength is re
finement. Marketable unywhoro and
nnd any day , says the London Agricul
tural Gazotto. Tlio limbs shou'd ' bo
placed well outsldo the body that is ,
long and prominent olbows. Feet
should not turn in or out , but point for
ward. Odd foot are the sign of disease ,
past or present , in a chronio form. Har
mony of proportion is u sine qua non
horo. Length under a horse must bo
gained by a deep reclining shoulder.
His height , through the floor of his uliest
up to his withers , and not by his legs.
Width at the shoulder points , and with
a deep , wide and capacious middle ,
width at his hips. The position of the
fore foot Is regulated by the shoulders ,
in the hind logs by the width of the
pelvis or hips. A liorso may bo taught
to stand , but the judge demands'u nat
ural rather than an un artificial or edu
cated horse. Logs should bo short ,
stout , with muscle and clean along the
tendons. Knees well to the ground
that is , short cannons , likewise the
hocks well down. In examining a horse
don't approach too oloeoly at first ; lot
him form the base and you the apex of
a triangle ; you then can catoh his ends ,
It is early enough to go up to him when
you desire to manipulate him forsplints ,
spavins , oto. So much for the profile ,
A horse is said to bavo a riding unglo ,
the acme of perfection for all work ,
where n. line let fall from bis poll just
grazes his nose. Manners malceth both
mun and horse , und without this anglo
wo can liavo no true manners in either
harness or under the pigskin. A longer
Toign or upper line to the nock , anil a
clean articulation or junction at the
head or throat nrons essential oacontri
butions to perfection. A full throat is
index ot full wind. The hoiul should
bo bloodllkq and ponvox for courage
ut the bnso of the oars and across
the eyes. The bond should bo full yet
neat , no coarseness nt the 'rnco' just
above the nostrils. A moderately long
nock for comfort. This , with a moder
ately line wither , gives you a light fore-
bond 'n horse before . you.1 Nocks
should always bo muscular , of modornto
length. The breadth of chest depends
on the brood and trade.Vo \ will now
only donl generally in points and make ,
but for galloping n deep thorax ruthor
than n round ono admits of greater ox-
pnnsion under olTorts of onrturmico nnd
extreme oxcrtlon. Stand well in front
of a liorso to see this. Thou pass to his
rear and judge the quality nnd muscu
larity of his hind quarters. Stand well
back here , and stopping two paces from
the side gives you "form at n glnnco , "
or the concert of points from his head
to his middle ami quarter. You must
go nrouml n horse on a system to save
time nnd gain un ncuurato judgment ,
The quarter should bo wide , lintinnlics
well lot down , nnd always neatly closed
in horses worth the name. Light ends
in fore hand , volume and nroa super
ficially in the tulddlo , masslvo hind
quarters , and four good foot well placed ,
logs like bars of stool.
Trunk-lilliilit In Apple Trees.
Promising that a proper selection in
regard to hardiness and local adaptation
is made , I advise that when planting
out , the llttlo trunks bo entirely shaded
from the rays of the sun , and that the
ground bo well mulched for u good dis
tance beyond the extent of the roots ,
says the Rural Now Yorker. Two
quarts of good wood ashes nnd ono quart
ofslakod Hmo , scattered beneath the
tree und beyond the spread of the roots
at the end of the season's growth , are
absolutely needed to sUpoly the want of
the plant food in these substances , in
old soils.
Do not prune nlall while tbo tree isin
good health , but rub oft" such shoots as
should not bo allowed to grow , us , like
all other evils , they should be "nipped
in the bud. " But it will bo necessary
to prune when by accident , ago or leaf
blight , some of the leaves commence to
decay. Tn such cases saw the alToctcd
limbs rather close to the trunkpare the
whole surface of the wounds smoothly ,
bevel the edges , and upply with un old
paint brush , some hot piue tar into
whlcli one-half of its bulk of fine sand
has been stirred. This preparation will
keep out the rain , and less of decay will
result than by any other molhod that I
have tried.
J do not believe that trunk-blight oc
curs xvithout good causes. Early in the
spring when the stronger-growing rays
of the sun fall upon the trunk of u trco
that has no shell bark to protect it. and
the bend of which is not large enough
to shelter it , the bark with u tempera
ture of18 = to CO0 fah. . must expand ,
while the rent of , the trunk remains
frozen. A separation of the bark tmcl
sap-wood is then inevitable , and trunk
blight bus commenced.
Again , a trunk exposed to the fierce ,
rays of our July and August suns while
the tender sup'for the season's sap-wood
is being deposited , and while a ther
mometer placed there would indicate
almost a scalding heat , would stand no
chimcu of escaping blight.
It will bo cu&iiy apparent that tbo
method of treatment given above
would olTectually prevent an evil so di
sastrous to orchards , and prove of great
value in making healthy trees.
Knrtn Notes.
The cureulio attack the plum , peach ,
cherry and other fruits , but prefer the
plum.
The basket wormso injurious to ever
green , has been found on climbing rosoa
this season.
Turkeys should bo given full range , as
they destroy thousands of insects at this
season when foraging.
The destruction of fallen apples this
season will greatly aid in lessoning the
number of insects next year.
The inost persistent weed to exter
minate is purslaino. Turn the sheep
and gccae on fields infested with it.
Save the beststalksof corn from which
to procure 4ood , and when tiie seed is
fully matured bolect the best ears. Seed
corn should bo allowed to thoroughly
dry on the stalk , and when harvested i
should bo stored in u dry , warm place.
The cow soon becomes accustomed to
tbo milker , nnd if treated kindly will
cease giving evidences of vices. To
strike her places her in fear , and slio
will seize every opportunity to kick "or
move her position. Milking shoula bo
performed quiotlv , the cow being given
her food just before beginning to milk.
To improve stock by selecting the best
for that purpose is commendable , but
the method is n slow ono compared with
the immediate benefits derived by re
sorting to pure bred stock in order to
grade up the common stock , nnd the
value is also greatly increased at but
small expense of time nnd labor.
As a rule white clover springs up on
land that bus been well dressed with
wood ashes , and though it atTorts excel
lent pasturage it is a very por.sifatont
weed if it is allowed to grow where it is
not wanted. Cutting it oil only causes
it to grow moro vigorously. It should
be pulled up by hand from among the
rows of vegetables.
Tlio time for corn planting varies
with the latitude , and also depends
much upon the weather. When the
days are mild and the ground warm is a
safe rule , whenever that may bo , in all
localities. Throe conditions are esson-
tiitl to the production of a paying crop
of corn , namely , good seed , a rich fria
ble soil and thorough tillage.
Next month grass seed may bo sown ,
as it will grow and become rooted before
frost , thus getting un early start in the
spring. For luwns a mixture of equal
parts Kentucky blue grass and white
clover is excellent , us both varieties cu
rt uro the drouth wollt Weeds will bo
killed by the lawn mower next spring ,
if the lawn is mowed froquontly.
The Emerald Gem cantaloup Is ono of
the moat delicious varieties thut has
"boon grown this season. It is of medium
617.0 , but cracks sometimes when ripe.
The rind is dark , and it dooa not present -
sent un alt motive appearance , though
deeply ribbed and netted. But with
these disadvantages against it tliero Is
no variety that equals it In Hnvor , while
the quality of flesh is superior to any
othor.
Farmers who object to paying larger
Bums for choice animals should otsiumto
the increased value duo to improve *
mont , for a single season , of the young
stock. Such a calculation will show
that , if the Hock or herd is largo , the
gain of the stock will bo greater than
the cost of a mule of any of the
thorough broods , It Is consequently
economical to improve , und the farmer
who does not uo bo is really extrava
gant , as ho deprives himself of the ad
vantages of bolter stock , higher pncoa
and larger profits , without any increase
iu the expense of food aad labor.
