Frfm daylight lr O o'elook there was a sputter of musketry alonz the front is the sh:irps!i:w.tons and skirmishers hred at lo".;: ranjro. From ! t 1 tho -avalry on the wings had tho tight all to themselves. From 10 to 11 a gun here ami there shelled the 'on federate skirmishers out of the ditches in whieh they were hiding, hut there seemed to !o no lighting anywhere. From 11 to TJ Lee was massing ll'o field pieces in front of Ijongstreet and Hill to open n Ilaneoefc. Meade posted 1 guns t reply, but to fire slowly. At noon a few couriers were riding furiously in different directions, but nor a un was being fired. The men in lino ate from their haversacks, and the artillery horses nibbled at ihe grass as they were unchecked by their drivers. Sores of men had jtocket telescopes. These were passed from hand to hand, .md every gun on the Confederate side was located. "They are going to batter us w.lth -hot and shell and then charge. Lie close to the ground. The shot fall hört or go over us." So came the word along the lines. It was a wise precaution. Hut for the caution no one could tell what would have happened. From half past 12 to 1 o'clock seemed an age. At 1 o'clock harp the boom of a single pun echoed vrr the hattlotiokl. niul a shell ramo if-reamlng over our heads and exploded 2CO feet in rear. That was the Ignal. Hefore ore could have counted twenty there was a roar which can he compared to nothing one has ever heard. In two minutes the earth was trembling. Tho stones in the wall in front of us gritted together. Mud had liecn used as piaster, and pieces of it fell out with chinkinc. One wouid have said that -nothing could add to that awful roar, but the Federal guns opened In reply, and then men lying down gasped as they breathed and :Iutehod sh! or stone as if perched on ome dizzy height and afraid of falling. For the first five minutes the roar lut out all sounds swallowed them up as a trreat oepnn would another gill water. Thousands of men closed their eyes and clinched their teeth. Officers who had been standing up dis4ppeared to hug the earth. Now the roar Is split and slashed and penetrated !y the missiles from the Confederate zuns. They are throwing round shot, afeel bolts, fuse shell, percussion ?very form of missile which portable suns can take In and telch out again. They shri?k and scream and whir. They (ome from in front and from the right Jtnd left. Some fall short, and ?xp!od!ng In the dry soil throw a cloud 5f dust heavenward to sift down on ur backs. Others sail high above us and carry death into the ranks of the reserve, while now and then one bursts just right to wound or kill in our own ranks. No living man will ever hearken to more terrific cannonade. No battlefield of the future will hold men for two long hours under such a crossfire. The smoke rose up and hung a dead :loud in the air until one thought that r.ight was coming down. Fiery serpents darted In every direction. Lxploding shells created sudden great flames, as if kegs of powder had been tossed up to destroy the heavens. There-was no lull no interval. Only those who became unnerved sat up to ook around them. Here and there one rose up and ran away. lie was not a toward he was simply unnerved by '.he situation. Sometimes he came creeping back, white faced and weeping, and sometimes he was struck down is he grpod about in the semi-darkness to find shelter from the rain of Jeath. Two hours, they afterward said. Wo i.ving there made no note of the passage of time. It was a nightmare, and vet we did not sleep. Death rode all ilong our front he leaped over us ae raced his spectre steed along the 'ences and highways and fields far in ur rear. The cannonade died nway slowly. The last few piins seemed to give up grudgingly. The very last sent screaming shell which fell among lie wounded and stopitod the groans ind cries of five or six forover. "Fp, men! They are coining! Fall n fall in!" Yes, they were coming, with Pickett's Virginians in the van, and breaking ilong Hive a huge wave. It was n re.ief to know they were coming. It was rrim satisfaction to watch the advance. Men shouted in exultation as they came icarer and the musketry opened. It .vas the reaction. We laughed and hook hands, and reckoned not of the leath to come from those advancing rolr.mns. C. H. Le-is in Detroit Free I.alil Dunn the Frylnc-Pan. When, at Raines Mill In the Ith Texas cajituretl two whole regiments of Yankees, the Texan soldiers .vere all very iud 0r their achievencnt J. II. Policy was one of them, nd in his '"Soldier's Letters to Charming Nellie," he describes an amusing cene In connection with the surrender. When the Yankee officers surrender1 their words in a body to Colonel Fpton, they were so prompt in the rbitj that he was compelled to lay 1 nvn the frying-pan which he carries n place of a sword, and hold the .rcapons presented in his arms. Just then he noticed a commotion at the far end of the captured reginents. That was near (lie limber, and squad of the prisoners were making in effort to pass by "Big John Ferris," f Company B, who stood there unaid?d. endeavoring to Intercept 'them. Springing up on a log. the armful of words dangling about In every direction. Upton shouted: "You John Ferris! What are you tryng to do now?" "I'm trying to keep these fellows 110m escaping," returned Hlg John, in stentorian voice. "Let them go, you Infernal fool!" jhouted hack Upton.

No one answering, lie repeated the Inquiry with an earnestness that demanded nsponse, and Immediately a little fellow at the other end or iV car rose. ;jnd modestly r.cknowlodged himself a member of the regiment. "That's all right, then." said the in qnircr. with an air of great relief, as he cocked his gun and poked the muzzle out the window. "I just wanted to te'l you not to be scared, honey, for I Jiin't a bit mad. I'm only gwine ter !; a cap." I"n tnliftin in th Army. Soldiers and sailors are pnvrbia!ly superstitious, and a writer in the Atlantic, treating of "The Courage of a Soldier." declares that "the soldier derives great comfort from his cheerful fütal ism." He recalls a beautiful Sejtemlxr dat. winch was devoted to one of the tiereest battle-: ever known. The color-guard of a conspicuous regiment had been repeatedly shot down and replaced, until sixteen in.-n had fallen, most of the n mortally hurt. At this juncture a aptain of gigantic stature, the largest among ten thousand men, sfizetl the colors, and continued to wave them defiantly until the position was carried. He escajed untouched, even to his uniform, while away in the rear rank, in the least "jposod jMsition on t lie line, a little Irish tish peddler, known as "Mickey the fish." received two serious wounds. Mickey was a dwarf, whose enlistment had been regarded as a capital joke, and whose immunity was taken for granted. Somewhat puzzled by the elation shown by the comrades of giant anil dwarf. I inquired concerning their blithe conlidence, and found thai iliey regarded the double event as clear ptoof that all casualties were foreordained; and I am well assured that out of this tranquillzing lellef grew a great peace In many hearts, which served them well when the storm of battle shut out all ordinary means of refuge. In illustration of a more serious Wind of fatalism I will relate the following: We were at Snkker's (lap. The F.Ightli corps, under tho White Wolf, as the Indians loved to call Gen. Crook, had crossed the Shenandoah at Island Ford. The sun wont down In a sea of delicious crimson, and even the most cautious were so Influenced by the metaphor of rieaeo suggested by the. heavenly stillness that they began to regard ns needless the precautions taken by our chief, the White Wolf. Fires were lighted on the river bark; ceffee, the soldier's elixir of life, was prepared and drunk. The twilight crept slowly on. and w as deepening into the gloaming, when a staff officer rode down from tin old farm house in front of us with a report that Gen. Gallatin Jenkins was advancing upon us with a heavy force. A few minutes later there was a scattering fire as of pickets, and a mount-d ofilcer was ordered to call in our skirmish lire. Just hefore mounting, the young fellow detailed turned to me and said : "I feel strangely to-day. I wish you'd do this for me. I cannot explain my rcluetan-e; but none who know me will think me afraid." His face was ashy white; his lips looked dry. I saw that he was ill. Mounting his horse, I rode rapidly to the skirmish line and gave the order to fall back. On my return I found this young officer seated at the foot of a tree, proppod up against it. Ills eyes were fixed on the sky above him, ami between his parted lips was a bubble of crimson ! foam. A bullet had passed through his chest, and he had but a few minutes to j live. j What premonition had possessed him. fiom what mistaken motive ho had j chosen this place of safety, which 1 proved so treacherous, will never he known. He was killed by a sharpshooter, from such a distance that his death might le considered accidental. (ircMvlh of School (Jarilfim. Not only in well known centers, but in remoter localities, the school garden movement Is taking root, and this BUggests a satisfactory outcome, the result of which will lie not only the higher culture of our future citizens, for there is nothing like an understanding and appreciation of nature to impart this culture, but It may nlso lead to a bettor distribution of our population. Once impart to the child a love of flowers and field, aud the city cannot hold him unless it can give him a gar 1 1 den sjMt. Keriorts from the principals and teachors where school gardening is in vogue have been most gratifying. They declare that, without exception the inllucm-e of this work is refining and uplifting. It brings teachers and pupils Into closer and more sympathetic touch by their mutual love of the leautiful. Away I'p. I 'earl It is a wonder more couples don't pass their honeymoon in a balloon.

Some dairymen talk quality, some talk quantity. Few we think would object to both quantity and quality combined. The cow that yields rich milk and lots of it is popular. The increase In the aver. ige yield of corn per acre last year amounted to only three-tenths of a bushel per acre, but in the aggregate it meant an Increase of hundreds of thousands of dollars to tho farmers. The story is told that once a certain assessor taxed a goat at and. when charged by the angry owner to justify the high ratine, the assessor directed him to a rule which read to the effect that property a butting on a certain street should be taxed $2 a foot. We meet with some rather paradoxical conditions in life. For instance. the htacksmith shoes his own horse the poorest, and the carpenter lives in the plainest house; likewise, the farmer deprives himself of the meat of the prime bullock and the sweetest flavored apples. Franking a few tons of garden seeds through the mails and then howling about the iostal defreit has a very humorous side if it were not so serious. If even a small fraction of the seeds were planted there might be an excuse for this waste, hut as the matter stands the free distribution of seeds is foolish. Some supporters of the d-iiry industry say that it's only a matter of time before we will nil be dairying and the beef cow- will be a thing of the past. On the other hand, the supporters of the beef Industry say that the strengest nations are beef-caters and in the end beef growing will overshadow all other farm industries. The difference of opinion kind of makes one doubt the correctness of either assertion. We must depend more on the silo and proteinaceous forage crops and less upon the nitrogtnous by-products. The results that have teen attained by feeding tender pasture grasses show that the animals need succulence during the long winter months, and this should convince us that the silo is a most valuable means of preserving the cow's winter rations. The cost of dairy feed can be very much reduced by a change in the ordinary methods of feeding. We must grow more feed on the farm. TJy killing Insect-eating birds American arc rohbing posterity and permitting an annual crop loss of $SfV 000,000. according to William Dutehrr. president "of the National Association of Audubon Societies. If we permit the heritage of wild birds that still exist to be further was teil and destroyed, we are robbing our children, declared Mr. Duteher. The people, as trustees, are in honor bound to preserve these 'wild birds for those that follow us. We do not wish our children to feel about us ns we do about our fathers, who permitted the wanton and useless extinction of th? bison and the wild pigeon. In the matter of bird legislation there is no resting place; the only price of satisfactory bird protection Is eternal watching of legislatures, for in an unguarded moment an amendment may bo passed that will undo the work of years. Power of Plant Life. The jtower of the ordinary plantain leaf Is well Illustrated in an article in the ".trand Magazine" ly a writer who constructed a pitch floor as follows: Tho ground was scraped, and then a 3-inch layer of sand was spread over If. and on this sand a 2-inch layer of roft roofing pitch was placed. This had been down for several weeks when we noticed one part of the pitch breaking open like a miniature volcano. On examination we found some green shoots coining through the pitch. The shoots continued to grow in spite of the great boat caused by the sun shin-j ing on me uinrn suriaoo or the pitch. They finally assumed a flourishing condition. It should le added that before laying the sand n sheet of heavy tar paper covered the ground. The Leghorn. As a farm fowl. Leghorns are one of the best of breeds; but to have them at their best, and doing their best, give them unlimited range. Many farm wives are so situated that to make eggs their farm stock in trades is much easier than to market fowls. Fuder light conditions and farm life is cue ef the best of "right conditions" for leghorns eggs will always be in Btiunelar.ee. For one's own satisfaction if nothing more, it will be wise to cull rut the inferior looking specimens when such apjiear among the season's hatches. In this manner tho flock Is yearly improving in quality and general Loauty, and in a little time egg:for hatching," as well as eggs for market will become a payii.g feature of the farm's enterprises. Incubators will come and brooders for rearing thf chicks, possibly, at first, hens of any and every obtainable breed or mixture ef breeds will 1 in demand as incuhntors and brooders for the chicks. One may keep such lions themselves, or. better still, purchase them of nelghIw.rs when wanted, and not be troubled with their presence on the place exrpt when absolutely needed. For they r.iar the appearance, more or less, of one's flock of pure bred birds of one color. St ra wbcrrl r. The largest expense in trawberries Is in the hoe;ng. growing weeding

jou can double the yield of strawberries hy making the soil very rich, yoi:

wilt be more than repaid by adding this excessive supply of fertility. Remember that your strawberry plantation Avill require no more hoeing, weeding or horse cultivation ort rieb soil than on poor soli. Thus, if von can increase the yield from 10O bushels an acre to 200 bushels an acre by adding $20 worth of commercial fertilizer or other fertilizers, you can readily so how profitable will ho the Investment in tuis fertilizer. It is true that you can raise a good fair crop of strawberries on almost any s il Aihich will produce a good fair cr p of corn or potatoes. Most people are satisfied -with an ordinary crop of strawberries, such as can be secured on this ordinary soil, but I state positively that you can make no better investment than to heavily fertilize every ir.ch of the land you have p'ante.I to strawberries. When to enrich the strawberry plantation is an important question. If you intend to apply barnyard manure, it is well to spread it. upon the land the se.ison previous to sotting out the strawberry plantation. If you can not apply it then, another good plan Is to cover the strawberry plantation w1& go.nl stable manure at the opening of winter er during winter. This will enrich the bed if left on until the spring rains are over, but the objection to this plan is that tho Irvdt bearing b-M are reseeded v.itn the weeds jf seed ltd glass which can only be removed at considerable expense. If commercial fertilizers are to lie applied, you should wait until the strawberry plants have nvide some growth, so that they may be ready to take up the plant food. Therefore, in July, go over the newly planted strawberry bed and sea tier th fertilizer lietween the plants and betv.cen the rows so that it covers pretty nearly all of the ground. p,t, .ar.fui not to allow the fertilizer to fall upon the leaves of tho plants, especially if they are moist, as commercial fertilizers will often burn the leaves. Tonic. A stock tonic is not a medicine, a cm re. a remedy, but au aid to the digestive and assimilative processes of nutrition. It. is thus a preventive of disease. A rigfatly compounded stock tonic simply supplies the animal artificially with certain necessary elements for the perfect regulation of the process of nutrition, just as does the supplying of salt in the sane way. Note that we say rightly compounded tonic. For either an excess or a lack of certain Ingredients depreciates the value of a tonic, Just as an incorrectly balanced feed lowers its nutritive value. There Is no secret about the composition of the well known stock tonics. Indeed, most states have laws requiring tnat the ingredients of the contents be plainly printed on every package. The exact proportion of certain ebments differ in different brands, but the approximate proportions are known to most stockmen, or cau be obtained from the national department of agriculture or from the different experiment stations. The question then arises. Why cannot a farmer make his own amies? IIcan, just as he can make his own clothing, if he can spend the time, get the correct proportions and accomplish the most effective combination. For it must be remembered that the right amount of each material simply put together in some sort of a way does not make a suit of clothes no more does it make an effective stock tonic. Not only must t!.e proportions lie correct, but the condition of each ingredient must be right and Its consistency such that il w ill properly blend with all the others. The makers of stock tonics have the proportions and the proper consistency of the elements dovni fine and the thrifty stockmen knows that he Is not only buying the right material in a reputable stock tonic, but he Is also buying the right skill and experience it takes to compound the tonic correctly. Firm Land Prlc-en. One of the incidents of the late financial panic is the firmness with which land values have passed through a national crisis. In other pales of 1SÖ7. 1873 and !S.fJ prices of real estate de rllned both in rural districts and great cities. Prices for farm products ruled lower, rents reacted and the earning ability of real estate investments declined. While industrial investments iUov largely decreased earnings for tho past eighteen months, the income from agricultural lands has enlarged through increased production and higher prices for farm products. There has leen a ' -rcr migration from the cities to the ;,try of people out of employment who had formerly worked at industrial production The weakness of skilled profe-slons as compared with husbandry is evidenced by the great army of unemployed that is compelled to accept enforced Idleness through the dullness of industrial enterprises. The independence insured hy the ownership of country homes and the certainty of living incomes from small farms is turning the attention of many inhabitants of cities to the advantage of farm life as compared to the uncer fainty of employment In great cities, '"e demand for small holdings Is breaking up the big ranches and sparsely settled districts are Incoming rapIdly densely populated by Immigrants and energetic people who are striving for an independent living. The vast areas that are being reclaimed by Irrigation are being subdivided Into small farms and will be operated under a system of scientific cult Iva lim. Rev. Mr. Dedrich has set the example of what can be achieved on a small farm by purchasing fifteen icros and incurring a debt of several thousand dollars near Philadelphia, and -rating the small farm with a dairy liquidated the mortgage from the Income of the fifteen acres, and demonstrated that small farms intelligently managed are ample to support large families. Farm lands are steadily advancing In value. There Is no method to enlarge the area of farm land except by reclamation of swamps and arid districts, while population Is steadily Increasing and the domestic consumption of agricultural products broadening au nually. Fnder present conditions good farm land Is destined to increase In value. Goodall's Farmer.

The country now called Mexico was rot so called till 1S10, when the revolt against Spain began. Fp to independence the country was called New Spain and was divided into the same number of provinces as Spain, each with a name of a province in Spain, with the prefix of "New," but New Mexico was not included in tr's division. It got its name in this way: In 1.701 Francisco Ibarra - was in charge of an expedition of exploration Into what is now northern Durango and southern Chihuahua and discovered an Indian village near where Santa Harham now stands 1 in which the houses were whitewashed and the people made and wore cotton cloth, raising the cotton in the neighborhood. He wrote au account of his discovery to his brother in the City of Mexico, telling him he had discovered "una nueva Mexico," a new Mexico, another Mexico, meaning that he had found another town like the City of Mexico, and thereafter all this portion of northern New Spain was known as "Nueva Mexico" that is. New Mexico which name it has retained, though now much reduced in extent. Las Vegas Optic. The Mendicant. There are those who ascribe tha word "mendicant" to the silly appellation put forth as a conundrum, meaning a poor wretch beyond the power of mending. But something very close to the term was in use as long ago as when Chaucer wrote his "Canterbury Tales In the "Sompnoure's Tale" this occurs: "Therefore we 'mendicants,' we sely f reres, Ben wedded to poverte and continence, To charitee, humblesse and abstinence, etc." The "sompnoure" of Chaucer was, of course, a summoner, or apparitor, and a person of low estate, and here we have, it i believed, the origin of the word, which came Into common employment later. flow's This?

The romantic discovery of a silver .mine, while sinking a well for Irrigation purposes on land belonging to '"Mrs. Langtry" (Lady de Bathe) in Nevada, recalls even more romantic stories of mining luck. ; It was when capital and hope were alike exhausted tLac a last desperate stroke of the pick revealed the fabulous riches of the big Iionanza silver mine in 1S73 a treasure house which has since yielded ore valued at $150,000,000. The I'lores mine of San Luis Fotosi was struck by a poor priest, who bought an abandoned claim for an "old song," and took $3,000,000 worth of silver out of it; and the accidental discovery of silver in the ashes of his camp Ore made a millionaire of a negro fiddler. Peter Terreros, a muleteer, discovered by accident the Real del Monte deposits In Hidalgo, and at the end of twelve years bad won $ir,000,000 and a Spanish title of nobility; and, to give but one more example, two brothers named Bolados, who earned a miserable livelihood hy carrying fuel, found In a crevice opened by an earthquake an enormous block of silver worth $1,250.000.
