SILOS IMPORTANT 10 ESTABLISHING
LIVE STOGK INDUSTRY IN GEORGIA
£ By Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture.
The eradication of th e cattle tick,
the feeding of cotton seed meal and
hulls and silage are points to be em
phasized in developing the cattle in
dustrty of Georgia. To overlook the
importance of silage may mean fail
ure, or at least the lack of profit
where one might he made.
In this connection it is possibly well
to state that the State College of Ag
riculture is promoting the silo with
every opportunity and has furnished
plans and specifications for the farm
ers who desire to make the most of
the cattle feeding business. The Col
lege stands ready to advise and assist
any farmer in the state who wants
information on the subject.

AN INTERESTING BIT OF HISTORY
CONCERNING SNODGRASS HILL.
Cluittancoga, Tcpn., April 30 —
The battlefield at Chiekainauga
J
has many points pt interest to
those survivors of hotb .armies
who fought there, hut Snodgrass

Chiekainauga what the Little

you without hesitation that the

the panic that seized! the forces

feeders have been secured from other
states, fattened and then shipped to
Eastern maikets. One shipper who
had an expensive feeding program
sent cm a car. load last year, failed
to net a profit when leaving out the
value of the manure. This year he
is installing a silo to determine
whether he can repeat his experiment
with this variation and make a profit
under local conditions. If he operates
at the same expense as last year, with
t&e exception of the saving that the
silo will bring, it is a foregone con
clusion that there will be a profit in
that cattle feeding experiment, even
though cattle are bought in Tennes

But Snodgrass hill, as stated
in the foregoing, was tin* bloody
spot of this great battle, if in
fact any spot was bloodier than
others. The conflict at this poin t
as most readers are aware, took
place Sunday evening. Gen. Jno.
B. Gordon describes the fight for
the possession of this historic bill
as follow*.:
■“'ln the furious tempest there
now came one of those strange,
| unexplained lulls; but the storm
was only gathering fresh fury. In
the comparative stillness which
pervaded the field its muttering*
could still be heard. Tts light

thunders to roll around HoSe

and around Snodgrass house the
remaining troops of Rosecrans’
left wing planted themselves for
stubborn resistance —one of the
most stubborn in history. To
meet the assault of Longstreet’s
wing, the brave Union general,
Brannau, standing upon this now
historic crest, rallied the remnant

the crest. Through the blinding
fires they rushed to a hand-to
hand conflict, breaking lien*, pus!
ing forward there, in terrible
stuggle. Though clouds of sinok<
around the summit the banners
and bayonets of Hindman’s Con
federates were discovered upon
the crest; when Gordon. Granger
and Steedman. with, fresh troops,
hurried from tin* Union left and
joining Van Dcrveer, hurled Hind
man and his men from this cita
del of strength and held it until
the final Union retreat With
bayonets and clubbed muskets
the resolute Federal* pierced and
heat back the charging Confed
erates, covering the slopes of
Snodgrass Hill with Confederate
dead. Roaring like a cyclone
through the forest, the battle
storm raged. Battery answered
battery, deepening the uncurl My
din and belching from their heat
ed throats tin* consuming iron
hail. The woods caught fire
from the flaming shells and
searched the bodies of dead and
dying. At the close of the day
tlie Union forces had been driv
en from every position of the
field except Snodgrass Ilill, and
as the sun sank behind the cliffs
of Lookout mountain, hiding his
face from one of the bloodiest
scenes enacted by human hands
this heroic remnant of Rosecrans’
army withdrew* to the rear and
then to the works around Chatta
nooga, leaving the entire field of
Chiekainauga to the battered hut
triumphant and shouting Confed
erates.”
In view of these facts Gen. Gor
don and his associates in battle
thought i* remarkable that both
sides should lay claim to the vic
tory. Fit remained for the late
Gen. 11. V. Boynton to lay claim
in behalf of tin* Union army, and
attempt to (move his claim, that
tin* victory was with Rosecrans.
The victory was clearly with flic
Confederates, but the fact that
they did not absolutely drive
Thomas from Snodgrass Hill;
that he retreated to save Jiis
army; that he got away with fair
ly good order these are the only
circumstances upon which tin*
claim for a Union victory can
possibly rest. These claims, how
ever, have never stood firmly ii,
the light of intelligent argument.
However, he that as it may, it
is a privilege that the survivors
of tLis great battle will certain
ly appreciate, to revisit tin* field
and go over the places of deadly
carnage. The reunion in .May
gives them this privilege, and
thousands of veterans will enjoy
it. Chiekainauga is easily reached
from Chattanooga, thanks to mod
era progress, at a cost that every
body can afford to pay.
As further proof of the deadly
fighting of the Confederates here
the national cemetery covers the
remains of 13,000 Union Soldiers.
