Farm Notes.
—Sow pansy seeds now and when
they are up and cold weather begins
cover them over. They will come out
with early flowers in the spring.
— After a pear tree is badly blighted
it is useless to attempt to save it, and
the sooner the ax is used the less lia-
bility of danger to the other trees.
—The sheep is the only animal that
is made vicious by petting. ‘A young
ram that is raised by hand, at the
house, becomes bold and soon learns to
attack cattie and persons.
—Hervy wire is the best material
for supporting Lima beans and other
runping vines. A four-inch wire mess,
such as may be used for hen yards,
answers well for supports.
—Amoug the varieties of pears the
Lawrence holds a high place. Itis
not go subject to blight as some varie-
ties, and is late giving a crop alter the
bulk of the pears have been market-
ed.
—Well-cured corn fodder is more
fully digested than timothy hay, and is
putritious and palatable. It 1s wasted,
however, if left in the fields to be ex-
posed to rains, winds and frosts during
the winter.
—Green weeds, when plowed under,
add something to the soil, but if al-
lowed to produce seed and become dry
they not only rob the soil but lay the
foundation for a greater number of
weeds the next season.
— Hay may be profitably grown as a
crop for market, but the land should
receive an application of fertilizer every
year. Itis better to feed hay to stock
if possible, but if preferred as a market
crop it will pay better than grain.
--Excepting the golden rod, milk
weed and ragweed, all the rest of our
weeds have been imported. These
foreign are the most troublesome and
persistent. If it was one’s duty to keep
them from the highways, these would
not travel so fast.
—All deaths from bulls are due to
the supposition that they can be made
gentle. A bull that is apparently the
most peaceable animal on the farm
may suddenly, and without cause be-
come very dangerous. No bull should
be allowed its liberty, but should be
kept under control.
— Be careful when setting out new
strawberry beds in the fallto bave
every fourth row of the staminate var-
iety, or there will be no froit at the
proper time. Some are staminate and
pistilate, while others are pistilate on-
ly. The former will produce crops,
but the latter must have staminate var-
ieties growing near them.
—In Albemarle County, Virginia,
where apples are a special crop, one
grower thinned off nearly three-quar-
ters of the fruit from his trees last
year. He got just as many apples in
bushels, as compared with previous
years, and also received double the
market price, as the fruit was superior
to any ever before grown in that sec-
tion, both 1n size and quality.
—How many farmers know how,
when and where toship in order to
dispose of their products ? The mer-
chant is careful to learn where to buy
and sell, and keeps himself posted on
prices. He also knows from whom to
procure goods at the lowest cost and
where to find the best markets. The
farmer should be a business man when
it comes to selling and buying. To
succeed he should read and learn, and
be prepared before the crops fail.
—Those who raise large crops of
onions gpread manure in the fall, plow
it under with a one-horse plow, and, if
the weather permits during the winter,
the land is cross-plowed, which incor-
porates the manure with the soil. The
rains and frost pulverize, the manure,
and when early spring arrives the
plant food is ready for the crop. The
plot for onions should be made ready
now, inetead of waiting until the time
for planting the seed or setting out the
sets.
—A California woman in an ex-
change tells her way of drying fruit
and vegetables. She says; “My bus-
band made wooden boxes or frames to
fit the hotbed sash, then set them up
from the ground on legs, one pairlong-
er than the other, to get the proper
slope. Holes were cut at the top and
the bottom of the box to secure a cur-
rent of air over ihe drying fruit or veg-
etables, which should be placed in
trays or dishes in the frame. The
sash should be placed directly over it.
Place the whole in the broad sunlight,
and leave until the contents are enffi-
ciently dry to be packed in sacks or
boxes. This method keeps out birds
and insects, dust and rain, and requires
less care than any other.”
—It is claimed for the barley that
the graes obtained with itis superior
to that grown with wheat, as the bar-
ley was ready to cut before the wheat,
thus giving the young grass better op-
portunities during the drought, to ee-
cure more moisture thon the graes
grown with wheat. This fact was ful-
lv demonstrated during the experiment,
as the grass in the wheat plots died,
while that on the barley plote did well.
This country imports barley, and there
is an excellent market for it right at
the doors of the tarmers. It is a
hardy plant, and the fall seeding
should be preferred to seeding in spring.
Clover may be seeded ou it the same as
is done with wheat. It is also claimed
in favor of barley that it is fully equal
to other grains as food, and that the
demand for it by brewers is on the in- |
crease, Canada sends a large portion
of her supply to the United States, and
as the experiment shows barley to te
more profitable than wheat it deserves
the attention of our farmers,
Ci
G. A. R. Encampment,
A Notable Gathering of Veterans Was That at
Pittsburg. — Louisville Selected as the Next
Place of Meeting.—The Contest for Commander-
The National Grand Army Encamp-
ment in session at Pittsburg last week
was a decided success. The commander-
in-chief and delegates were welcomed by
Governor Pattis'n on behalf of the
State of Pennsylvania, and by Mayor
McKenna, of Pittsburg, and Mayor
Kennedy, of Allegheny, on behalf of
their respective cities.
More than 40,000 men who fought to
save the union marched through the
cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny on
Tuesday. That was the greatest day in
the annual G. A. R. encampment, which
began there on Monday.
At 10:30 o’clock the parade started
from the historic Monongahela house,on
the banks of the river from which it
takes its name. First came Company A.
Second Battalion naval reserves, guard
of honor to Commander-in-Chief Adams.
' Then followed the departments of the
Grand Army of the Republic, in the fol-
lowing order : Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio,
New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, Maine, California, Rhode
Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Po-
tomac, Virginia, and North Carolina ;
| Prayiacd, Nebraska, Michigan, Iows,
Colorado and Wyoming ; Kansas, Dela-
ware, Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon,
Kentucky, West Virginia, South Da-
kota, Washington and Alaska; Arkansas,
New Mexico, Utah, Tennessee, Louis-
iana and Mississippi ; Florida, Montana,
Texas, Idaho, Arizona, Georgia, Ala-
bama, North Dakota, Oklahoma and
Indian Territory ; Indiana and Penn-
sylvania.
MAY BE THE LAST GREAT PARADE
Governor Pattison, of Pennsylvania,
with his staff and a number of notable
men and women from all parts of the
country, occupied the reviewing stand
in the Allegheny park, and saluted each
division as it swung around and passed
in review. It is impossible to form any
accurate estimate of the number of spec-
tators. Every available inch along the
route of march was packed ; every side
street was jammed full of people for a
hundred yards back and the housetops
for blocks away were hidden by masses
of enthusiastic applauders. A rough
estimate is that between 500,000 and
500,000 people saw the parade. Of this
number 300,000 or 850,000 came over
the railroads, The weather was perfect.
The sky put on its deepest blue tint, re-
lieved here and there by white fleecy
clouds without a suggestion of storm ;
the sun shown brilliantly ; but its rays
were tempered by a cool and bracing
breeze. It was an ideal day for a parade,
both for the men in line and for the
spectators.
This was probably the last time the
veterans will turn out in such force, as
it is seriously contemplated by the
Grand Army of the Republic officials,in
view of the advancing age and infirmi-
ties of the members, to abandon this
most attractive feature of the national
encampment. The decorations of the
two cities were most lavish. It was
stated by men who had attended maay
previous encampments that, while in-
dividual displays may have been ex-
celled in other cities, they had never
seen decorations on such a generous and
general scale.
THE OLD TARS PARADE.
The parade of the naval veterans took
place on Monday. Over 1,000 men, un-
der the command of Rear Admiral J. B.
Osborn, were in line. The old salts were
cheered all along the line of march,
which extended through the principal
downtown steets along Fifth avenue
and Smithfield streets and over to Alle-
gheny. Inthe parade were carried many
historic relics of naval warfare, among
them the torn and time-stained banner
which floated over the good old Kear-
sarge. Miss Carrie Lowe, daughter of
General A. L. Lowe, of Fort Worth,
Tex., was in the parade, carrying the
colors of the Dupont naval association
of Texas. She was the lone representa-
tive of the Lone Star state in the pa-
rade of salts, and her appearance elicited
unbounded enthusiasm.
Commander Adams opened his ad-
dress by congratulating Pittsburg in its
loyalty now, as well as during the days
of the war, citing its liberality in caring
for the soldiers from the weston their
way to the front, as Philadelphia had
done for those from the eastern states.
One year ago there were in good
standing 397,223. There have been
gained during the year 16,752 by mus-
ter in ; by transfer, 6,354 ; by reinstate.
ment, 14,036; reinstatement from de-
linquent reports, 2,519. Total gain, 89,-
661; aggregate, 436,884. There have
been lost: By death, 7,283; by honor-
able discharge, 1,756 ; by transfer, 7,-
132; by suspension, 84,805; by dis-
honorable discharge, 1564; by delin-
quent report, 16,671. Total lost, 67,-
801. Number remaining in good stand-
ing, June 30, 1804, 369,083.
To which he added : ‘These figures
show that the Grand Army of the Re-
public has reached the beginning of the
end, and each succeeding year will
show a decrease in our membership.
The long continued depression in busi-
ness has caused many suspensions, and
these we hope to regain when prosperity
returns: but it will be impossible for us
to recruit our ranks as fast as our com-
rades are mustered out by death.”
General Louis N. Wagner quarter-
master general of the army, reported
that there was more money in the
treasury than last year while the bills
are all paid. Over $200,000 has been
expended during the year for relief.
The staff of Captain Jack Adams, the
retiring commander-in-chief, presented
him with a badge studded with dia-
monds, combining the commander’s in-
signia, the corps badge and the Grand
Army star. Mrs. Adams was also hon-
ored by being elected honorary member
of the stafi—the second woman to re-
ceive such a compliment, the wife of
General Alger being the first. Mrs.
Adams was given a beautiful diamond
souvenir.
The citizens of Pittsburg gave Com-
| mander Adams a gavel made of wood
| from Fort Sumter, Appomattox, Get-
| tysburg and Libby prison.
LOUISVILLE GETS THE ENCAMPMENT.
It was expected by some that the
annual encampments would be aband
oned, but when the Grand Army bad
| assembled on Wednesday for consider-
i ation of this subject, it was decided to
continue the holding of the yesterday
gatherings. Louisville, Ky., was
chosen as the place in which will be
held next year's encampment. Elo
quent Henry Watterson, of Louisville,
once a colonel in the confederate army,
now a loyal man, fairly pleaded with
the convention to come back to his
city and float the stars and stripes in
the midst of the battlefield of the re-
bellion, The Grand Army would find
there men and women who were Am-
ericans as well as Kentuckians, and
finished with the peroration : ‘I come
to you to day with arms wide open.
It’s hopes singing in my heart, I beg
you to come to us with your arms
wide open. Thank God, the flag you
will find there is our flag as well as
your flag, the flag of a reunited people
and a glorious republic—to freeman
all over the world at once a symbol
and a pledge.” ‘Oh, long may it wave,
o'er the land of the free home of the
brave.’ ”’
The convention rose to its feet as
one man and cheered and applauded
until the walls trembled.
NEWLY ELECTED OFFICERS.
Colonel Thomas G. Lawler, of Illi-
nois, was elected commander-in-chief.
His election occurred after one of the
most heated contests in the history of
the order, he defeated his only oppo-
nent, Colonel Ivan N. Walker, of In-
dianopolis, by a narrow majority of 11
in a total vote of 649. Considerable
excitement attended the balloting, the
two candidates frequently running
neck and neck, while twice the Indian-
apolis man was in the lead. His
friends had it figured out that he had
won by six majority until the result of
the ballot was declared and when the
boys from Illinois in the theater as
well as in the lobby and out on the
sidewalk went fairly wild with enthu-
siasm.
The other officers elected by the en-
campmeont were: Senior vice com-
mander, Major A. P. Burchfield, of
Pittsburg; junior vice commander,
Charles N. Shute, of New Orleans;
surgeon General O. W. Weeks, Marion,
O.; chaplain-in-chief, Bev. T. H. Hag-
erty, St. Louis; representative to
council of administration, Charles W.
Gerwig.
HEADQUARTERS AT ROCKFORD.
Mr. Lawler at once assumed com-
mand and appointed C. C. Jones, of
Rockford Ill, adjutant general, and J.
W. Rust quartermasters general, and
established headquarters at Rockford,
Ill., At5 o'clock the convention ad-
journed with three times three cheers
and tigers for Pittsburg.
