Coming from her room on the morn ing In question, with her boy In her arms. Mrs. Peebles met at the door two negro women, their black faces filled with terror and their bodies quiv ering In an agony of fright "What Is It, mammy? Quick! Has anything happened to"— Her mistress' anxiety dispelled ner own fright In an Instant and the elder of the two answered: "Mass Jeems? No, chile, bress Gawd, I hopes he an Gln'l Mawgin is still mekln hit wawm fo' de Inlmy In Ten'see. But dls inawn- In befo' 1 was up Kit come a-reshln to my cabin an say de Yankees done got us, an sho' 'nuff. Miss Annie, de town's done live wld 'cm. Ileab, gimme dat chile, honey, kaze you'se gwlne drap him sho'. Sit down, now, an don' take on so. I might 'a' knowed you couldn't stan' dls fright." "But what has happened to our boys?" Mrs. Peebles asked, stepping to the door and glancing Into the street at the line of soldiers stationed at In tervals as far as she could see. "Were many of them killed?" "Whut dat you say?" Aud Easter's face spread Into a grin. "Not much am dey killed. Dey done got de new. Dat Kun'l Lundruin cornln wld a big Yankee a limy, an dey Jes' fol' up dey tents an lef, an dey ain't spreclfy no regrets, nut her. Dey do say, Miss An nie, dyah u comp'ny brack niggers 'mongst de Yankee soldiers an dat we all 'll have to feed de whole kit un boodle i)T 'ern.** Tlit* little woman's eyes flashed as she answered: "I for one shall not feed any Ynnkee soldiers, and you maj» send for me If any of them com* around. Ah, good morning, unclel" The lust wan spoken to a negro sol dier who wore the blue uniform and who had come up the walk as she spoke. "Good mnwnln, missis. I Jes' wanta to use yo' aaw ef yon can lemmc have It fo' a little while. We doDe muwch oil night, au we'a mighty tired an hon gry, an we haa to cut aome wood fo' de fiahs." "Tea, Indeed. Of course you can have the saw," answered Mrs. Peebles quickly. "Kit, show the man whers to get the aaw, and let him have the wood horse too." A suppressed laugh from behind her brought a smile to Mrs. Peebles' face, und she turned to the older negro to say: "Mammy, 1 am sure that negro was ten feet high." "No, Ml MM Annie, 'twarn bis beln a big man whut done hit, but you knows you aln' gwlne turn no hongry nigger frum yo' do'. Taln't In you, an you can't do lilt, even ef you does wanter kuze be got on dem blue clothes." A few days later uiartlal law was de clared. What was coming no one knew, and so strict was the surveillance that not one word could be got from the outside world. When the military role had begun, the supply of food bad seemed large enough to last perhaps six weeks, but at tbe end of tbe first mouth the supplies began to run low, yet neither market gardener nor gro cer was allowed to bring food Into the town. Evidently tbe Federals were getting ready for the early advance of a Confederate troop and were using every precaution to prevent the ene my gaining any advantage. One evening during tbls anxious time as Mrs. Peebles sat !u the twilight crooning a lullaby to ber baby boy Easter came into the room and asked in a low tone: "Am de little lam' asleep* Miu An nie?" "Not rjulte, mammy," tbe mother an swered-and smiled to see tbe little fel low sit up and bold out bis arms to tbe old nurse, who said: "lout's right. Come to yo' mammy, honey, an she'll tell you about Brer Itabblt. Dyab is a Yankee captlng In de library, Miss Annie, an he ssys be uius' see you, dat dyab some business be mus' talk to you about." When Mr*. Peebles entered the libra ry, the soldier stood looking at a pic ture of her husband that hung over tbe mantel. A sudden fear nel/.ed her. Was It Minium's men whom the Federal had expeeteil and liml a MklrmUh already occurred 7 "Oh, sir," she exclaimed, "do you I -i from my hu«hand?" > ii lerly man, and as he tui>.v> tin* white face, with Its pleading eyes searching his own, he pressed her gently Into a large rocker w how arm she had clasped for support and said Hither to himself than to her: "Ah, these women of ours! They suf fer at home more than we do lu tbe I M." Then to her:. "No, I have no news from ' our hf» hand. Our division 1M made up entire# of northern men. With whom Is yoil : husband?" "You mistook my meaning," she ex claimed, the color creeping back to her face and the old tire awakening within Iter eyes "He Is not a Union soldier, lie Is with Morgan's tuen, but 1 thought perhaps there had been an en gagement ami you had come to me, even as lie would go to au anxious northern wife. Have you heard from Morgan's men. captain? If Is so long since we had any news from outside the town." The pleading In ber voice touched htm. for h* turned to th* window ajid .food looking out into the gathering darkness. When he turned toward her, a tear glistened lu his eye. "And so you are a rebel," he said. "It If* a pity! A ptty. Indeed! War Is a ter rible thing, and we must all Buffer while It lusts. I could not even relleTe you with an iniwar about Morgtu'a men If 1 knew ever so much at ut them. Martial law would avail little If we gave away Its secret.." Once more Mrs. Peebles' eyes flashed, ! for had he not spoken as If the pity of the wnr lay upon the shoulders of the Kouthurners. She straightened herself In her chair and said coldly: "You wished to speak to me about a matter of business, I believe. May I ; hear It?" He was n soldier now. "Certainly, madam. It become, nec essary for us to quarter our men upon the citizens for a day, and 1 must ask you to provide fur one company, giv ing them the noonday meal tomorrow." She opened her Hps. but as If he di vined that she was al»out to ask a hard question he continued. "I can only ex plain that the men are detailed for spe cial duty, and the food must lie prepar ' ed for them." "But how can I i»upply food for so many men?" she exclaimed. "You for get that we have t«en un would shoot down my husband but lor the opjtor tunlty The o'.llrt'r spoke r-lmly: "1 resp -c-t your fidelity to your cause, madam, l-vt t:y uieu iu-»t have food. Our commissary is stationed two doers north of here. Present this order uud prepare the food by UUUII tomorrow. Good night." He wus goue. and she. knowiug enough of the power of an oceupylug nrn.y to rebel no further, went to the kitchen to gl i e the necessary orders. At noon on the morrow great platters stood heaped with Juicy slices of boiled ham, kettle, and buckets steamed with l>eans and rice, baskets were ready, tilled with delicious southern biscuit, and lu the oven the last pan of corn bread was taking ou a delicate brown. But no soldiers appeared, and In the distance the popping of rifle, and the boom of ennnon could be heard. Plain ly. the Confederates had come up and a battle was ou. In every house wo men were busy tearing old linen and cotton Into lints and bandages. The firing drew nearer, and presently a southern cavalry officer rode by, fol lowed by a bunch of soldiers. Mor gan's brigade had come, with all of Its fearless enthusiasm. Expected from one point, it bad made a detour, divid ed and entered from three unprotected points. Mrs. Peebles hurried her chil dren and servants to the cellar, and there, with throbbing hearts, they waited. At 2 o'clock In the afternoon there was a lull and by 3 all was quiet Mor gan's men stood In lines along the streets, and Cynthlana was lu the hands of an army of famished soldiers. Many hands united In giving Uncle Sam's food to the gray coats, but Mrs. Peebles was not among them. In one of the brightest rooms in her home the gray haired Federal captain lay. suffer ing from a bullet wound In the thigh. She had found him lying near her door and with her own hands bad helped to dress his wound. An hour later a gray coated cavalryman was brought to. his left leg shattered below the knee, and as Annie Peebles knelt, sobbing, be side his bed he whispered: "It Is nothing to loso a leg. dear. Many a poor fellow has given his life today." A happy smile drove the tears away ss she lifted her bead to say: "God was good to bring you home for me to care for."—Sunny South.

What the Practical Men and tb« Sat* cntiats Say About It* The orchard disease ca used by Lh# Junius Splueropsls uialorum le JI-J comnmn 111 the state of New Y»rfc. It lias Ixvu known to scit'Utiiic luvwstiga tors for only n few year*, and though noticeable In many orchards It* effucta have been ascribed by practical men to sun vcald. frost injuries or varietal weakness ratlier than to .1 specific din ease. The Geneva (X. Y.) station says, however, that the blackened. valurxwd Al'l'LE CANKER. [l, branch ttirJcd it a and Injury it b by cankers; i, same with dead bark rMU6**d; S, typical «inker. ] limbs with the bark marked by pita and scars bordered by concentric lluea and cracks— the cankers—and th« long sections of bare wood where the berk tins been destroyed arc found ID many localities and on many varieties. The same germ causes a twig blight often found In orchards shoeing little of no sign of the canker form and alss pro duces black rot of the fruit. It has been known that fungi very similar to this one work on other tree# and shrubs. Tests made In HKX) pttove that this same species of fungus occurs on apple trees, pear trees and hawthorn trees and on apple, pear and Qotoee fruits. To cuuse the destructive cankers which girdle the limbs the germs of the disease must get through the tough out er layer of the bark Into the growing layer beneath, the cambium. An Inju ry to the bark of some sort Is neceaaaiy to tills entrance, for the fungous threads cannot |>cnctrntc the unbroken bftffe. Buu scald as well as mechanical abra sions may cause such injuries. The bark Is killed by the sun and frost and cracks or peels, when the germ finds ready entrance and rapidly extends the Injured area in canker form. Sun scald or sunburn Is a common trouble In this state, probably more common than generally supposed, espe cially on tender varieties. The long area* of reddish bark on the south ami southwest sides of limbs and young trunks are inconspicuous when they tlrst are scalded and no escape notice, but they are all too common and may become the neat of serious harm to tho trees. Trees of tender varieties should be protected from the direct rays of the sun by training them to low, thick heads which shade both trunk* and branches. Additional protection may be given by a coat of whitewash upon tbo trunks, which helps to prevent ab sorption of the sun's rays and slso ex erts a favorable Influence upon the bark Itself. A good mixture Is: Mali I.line (unnlaked) 10 Tallow * Bait # Dilute with water enough to make H spray easily. In addltiou to the protection from sun scald thorough spraying with b*o - mixture and care to prevent ac cidental Injuries make up the prevent lve treatment. Tho larger diseased limbs may lie saved from complete loM by cutting them off back of the cankor ed area and Inserting dons of the same variety. Only a few specimens showing ef fect* of tliln trouble have been found In America, some coming from Nova Scot la mid a few from Cortland county in thin state.

No Duaaur Where a Median Otfde Fertiliser Wai Applied. It appears from the letter of a wheat grower to The Ohio Farmer that many formers of that state, expectlpg the fly latst fall, deferred seeding until late, but the fly anticipated the wheat grower also, for It did thorough work on al] wheat sown in this farmer's section up to Sept. 24, but after the 28th none ot Its work can be found. These dates have reference to the time of sowing * and not when eggs were laid. Where a medium grade of prepared fertiliser was applied (200 pounds pel ai no appreciable damage was sun fered by tho wheat plant last fall. Its effect was to stimulate the shooting of a new plant from the root below tha larvse, which were generally several In number, and a spring examination of the complete stool showed the lnsecti in a small, dead branch which' Wftj really the main plant at the beginning!^ On some drill widths where.
