Karly crossed the I'otonme 30 years ago thelith of Jill;’, with IK,hthi Confederates, to lay waste to the north and by the diversion raise the siege of Petersburg, Ids prosper], of dr spoiling the I iiion capital should lie make the attempt—and he did make if—were many, many times greater limn Wayne's when he forded the marshes of the Hud son to assail the lofty heights of Stony Point, General Washington s when lie crossed the Delaware to surprise Trenton, Butler's when his licet entered the Missis sippi to capture New Orleans, or Grant's when he crossed it to turn Vicksburg. Yet they succeeded, and Karly, through no fault of liis own, failed. Karly didn't count on a surprise like Washington at Trenton and Wayne at Stony Point, but a surprise was not essential with his IK,(Min veterans against a mob of convalescents, hundred day men and government bureau clerks, fur these were nil that entered with any certainty into the plan of defense. Of course there was a ‘‘mounting in hot haste” all along the border when Lincoln telegraphed to the northern governors that fleet raiders were devastating western Maryland and 11 column of hostile bayonets approaching the nation's citadel: hut the marauders were lien 1 , there and every where, throwing the scent in a dozen localities and destroying roads, bridges and telegraphs tohaflle and delay would he rescuers. Karly was but two days' march from the gates of Washington, so of what use were militia at their benches ami plows in Pennsylvania and New York? Wan not (lihnor, the Morgan of the east, in saddle, and were not Johnson, with his mounted Maryland Confederates, and Me Catmland, with hisruiders—all at home on the circuit of their exploits—the fcpinl of ten times t heir number of home guard, with plow horses for battle steeds? A can of powder and a torch will blockade an army fora day, and in a day an empire may fall, so it wasn’t panicky telegrams to northern governors which saved Washington from the curse of lire and sword this time 30 years ago. it was 11 hero whose modest silence puts no bar upon the pen of the historian. Lew Wallace was the 1111111 It is not necessary to explain how it liuppened that General Wallace, with 2,500 home guard ami militia, was nt Baltimore, ooniiimiuilng a <h partment which terminated on tlie west at Monocncy river, a small stream emptying Into the Potomac below Harper s Kerry, near whore Karly concent rated his army ready for a lunge at Washington. When Wallace learned that the enemy was threatening his territory, he mntlc all baste to meet him on the bonier. His troops, ntimlicring hut 2,500 men and nearly all of tlioin inexperienced fighters, were in position along the Monocacy on the tlth of July, and the enemy In possession of the towns of Hagerstown anil Middletown, a few iniles west and north of him. Just outside Ids lines was Frederick, a place of some importance, and to save it from the ravages of war he threw a large part of ids force in there, fighting a sharp action on the 7th. Early 's mounted raiders were meanwhile scouring the country to pick up stores and cut the roads from the north. The sound of Wallace’s guns at Frederick recalled them from their forays, and a day was gained for Washington by these bold tactics. But that was not all. The first appearance of Confederates north of the Potomac led to a warning dispatch to the army at Peters burg, and the Sixth corps of three divisions was ordered to the defense of the eapltal. Fortunately the first division to embark, General Ricketts', sailed direct to Haiti more and followed Wallace by rail to the Monocncy. They reached there the 8th, and Wallace, haring developed the pres cncc of an invading army along his front, Instead of a few bands of murauders, pre

read and the Baltimore pike. These troops were ready for battle on the morning of the Hth, and had they not been there Karly’• columns would have been a day s march nearer Washington. Had Wallace remained at Haltitnore until Kicketts joined him, he would not have held Early west of Frederick on the 7th and 8th, and that would have been another day's advantage for the Confederates. The strong position at the Monocncy bridges would have fallen into their hands, and Wallace's only chance for making a fight would

have been in an open plain.

The entire forenoon of the nth was passed by Karly in rcconnoiterlng and placing Ids troops for attack. Although Wallace's line was weak, it was well spread out and looked aggressive. Finally McCansland's cavalry forded the river below the left extremity of Ricketts’line, and General John B. Gordon's Infantry veter ans followed. Meanwhile the Confederate guns opened upon both bridges, and Ram sour's infantry brigades marched to the assault in front. I'nder cover of MoCaus land's flank attack and Rmnseur’s at the bridges Gordon formed ids men in two lilies, parallel to the railroad and {like, with the left resting on the river, facing Ricketts’ flunk. During these movements the Confederate batteries rained shots upon tlie blockhouse and the guards at the bridges ami could not Ik' silenced by the fire of a half dozen guns. To cope with Gordon on ids left (lank, Ricketts’ was compelled to swing ins line squarely about, changing front from a west facing to a south, of course weakening Ills defense of the brid ." -. in doing so. Two of the guns at the Baltimore bridge wen sent by Tyler to strengthen Ricketts, thereby weakening tlie right flank and endangering the line of retreat, which was by t he Haltitnore pike. The only hope was in dcs|>cratc lighting, selling life dear ly to purchase a brief delay and give time for re enforcements to pour into Washington. Three times Gordon’s columns broke Ricketts! line by desperate onset, hut the Sixtli corps veterans closed up around the gaps and beat them off. Twice they sal lied out and drove Gordon’s men from captured ground. Part of the fighting was along a rivulet feeding the Motioeaey, and so fierce was the struggle that its wa-

Tho rapid spread of tlie disease is dependent upon certain condition of moisture and heat. A daily moan or normal temperature of from 72 degrees to 74 degrees F. for any considerable time, accompanied by moist weather, furnishes the lx st conditions for the spread of tho disease. On the other hand, if the daily mean or normal temperature exceeds 7 7 degrees for a few days tho development of the disease is checked.

With Ricketts occupied in holding off Gordon on the south, Hamseur's men met with faint opimsition along the river. They carried the railroad and pike bridges, and a battery galloped across to open fin 1 on the rear of Ricketts’ line. That ended hope for Wallace, but it did not end tho struggle. A few companies of provisional cavalry led by Colonel I). R. Clemlcnin of tho Eighth Illinois and Major Chnrlcs A.

mean or normal daily temperature exceeds for any length of time 77 degrees. The macrosporium disease attacks tho leaves and sometimes the stems, but never tho tubers. The disease may appear at any time after the plants arc from four to six inches high. It progresses slowly, three weeks or more passing before all the leaves succumb. The tubers stop growing as soon as tho leaves are

attacked.

The effects of potato scab on the tubers are too well known to require description. The first two diseases are often confounded. Fortunately the bordoanx mixture is tlie most effective remedy for both blight and mascrosjiorinm. For the treatment of scab a solution of corrosive sublimate has given best results. This may be prepared by dissolving 3 Ki ounces of corrosive sublimate in about 3 gallons of hot water and after an interval of 13 hours dilut-

ing with 13 gallons of water.

For hltght and the macrosporium disease apply the bordeuux mixture when the plants are six inches high, and continuing at intervals of 12 or I I days until live or six applications have been made. If the season is rainy, it is best to make the treatments every 10 days, tlie object Is'ing to keep tlie plants at all times covered with tin fungicide. By adding four ounces of pans green to each ban-cl of tlie bordeaux mixture the treatments will not only prevent the disease under consideration, but keep in check the Colorado beetle and other insects as well. Before adding the paris green to the bordeaux mixture the former should be made intoa thin paste by I mixing with a small quantity of water.

CYCLONES AND TORNADOES. Name Given to Destructive nnrt Nm*oUT Freaks of Nature. [Special Correepondence.] Chicago, June 38.—Although the telegraph has already told of some destruction of property and loss of life from devastating winds, yet unless this year proves to be an exception to the rule that has obtained during the past decade tiio trouble has not yet begun in dead earnest. . The name “cyclone'' has beer, applied for so many years now to the twisting storms that sweep across a state in a day, leaving dismantled buildings, prostrate forests and bleeding, lifeless bodies in their track, that it is probably too late to effect the general adoption of the proper title for such atmospheric disturbam Nevi rtht less it can do no harm to call attention to tin fact that the proper word is tornado and not cx-

clonc.

A cyclone is a storm, the most active a i f which is on the outer edge of a vast circle, at the center of which there i t n r 'gion of comparative—sometimes ab Int calm. Cyclones never form or travel over the land, as the proper atmospheric conditions never develop there. They usually form in ihe gulf of Mexico and travel from there in a northeasterly; direct i >11. f dlowing almost the same path j;s that of the gulf stream. Not infrequently the western edge of a cyclone, s > formed and so traveling, i touches the Atlantic and gulf coasts,and tho d 1 True', ive stonnsthat worked such havoc in tin* sea. islands last summer

A tornado is a whirling, twisting storm, with itj greatest activity at the 1 center, where also more damage is wrought than elsewhere. The path of a cyclone may be and usually is several hundred miles broad. The path of a tornado is rarely more than n mile, and its destructive course usually but a few rods \ wide. In one sense the tornado, in its limited path, is far more destructive

means.

Another destructive form of wind is known to the signal service as the hurricane, though hurricanes are often described as eyclones in conversation and newspaper dispatches. The hurricane is a simple straight wind blowing at a rate exceeding so miles an hour, in practical effect it is almost as bad aseitherthe tornado or tiie cyclone, for the force of moving air when it reaches such a terrific speed as SO miles an hour, whether it he direct, circling or rotatory, is great enough to destroy houses and blowdown

forests.

Tornadoes do not often visit the regions of the Rocky mountains because of the great altitude there. The height of the Alleghany mountains being much less, tornadoes are not very infrequent there. The season of most frequent tornadoes in the middle Atlantic states is August and September, in the south Atlantic states February, Marchand April, and in the west May, June and July. The little whirlwinds, familiar everywhere, are not little tornadoes. The latter come from above and sometimes do not touch the earth at all, while the whirlwinds rise from the earth in every instance. C. (4. Boi.les.

The position taken up on tlie Monocacy eovcreit t he bridges of the Baltimore pike, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, tlie Washington pike and a country mad connecting the two pikes, ail crossing the river within tin- limits of about two miles. The bridges of the railroad and the Washington pike were close together, and a blockhouse with earthworks had been built west of the stream as a measure of defense The little army hud hut six cannon, anti three of them were trained on these bridges. The others were placed at the stone bridge on tho Baltimore pike. Ricketts’ division of two brigades was assigned to tlie railroad and General K. B. Tyler’s brigade of home guards covered two miles of river front between the rail-

and the Confederates soon found out, as they had done at Mono-My, that the pros pei't of a walkover against militia was at an end. On the 13th another brigade I sallied from the inf renehnients and captured the heights Karly had seized the day before, dispelling the last hope of tlie invaders. Tho veterans of the 1‘otoinne were on hand, and they knew how to light.

Tito water docs not have to be applied frequently after tho trees once take firm root, but to mature tho fruit irrigation is necessary, according to Irrigation Farmer. Mr. Wutrons of the Arkansas valley experiment station of Colorado

is quoted as saying:

Trees need water frequently during the first season. Ordinarily it has been found good practice to irrigate young trees once in two weeks until September; then withhold tho water until November and give one thorough wetting just before freezing weather, and incase of a very dry winter an irrigation in February is very beneficial. This of course applies to well drained land. During the second season once a mouth is considered often enough to irrigate, if careful and thorough cultivation is given. There is nothing gained and there may bo much lost by watering trees too frequently after they have be-
