the star spangled
banner from thf
face of the earth, rather to limit it* j
sway Separate nationality was the ;
dream and aim of the Confederates
Had they won, they would have stood
with the United States, for America,
against the world.
There was not much for a cadet jnst
out of West Point to do when Joseph
Wheeler was assigned to the dragoons
on the plains in 1859. The Indians were
quiet: peace reigned along the border.
A commission as second lientenant
reached him in 1861. but about that
time his state, the far southern one of
Alabama, seceded from the Union, and
he resigned to follow the fortunes of his
people He might have kept out of the
affair, but there was too much fighting
fiber in his little frame for that. The
blood of heroes flowed through his veins.
He raised a company and drilled it and
then became colonel of an infantry regi
ment 1
As commander of a cavalry brigade
in Tennessee. Wheeler first came into
prominence as a war leader. When
General Braxton Bragg decided to take
the Confederate army from the line of
the Tennessee river to the Ohio in 1882.
he sent out the cavalry to mystify the
Federal leaders in Mississippi and Ala
bama and threaten attack on their
Corinth and Chattanooga line. The his
tory of those days shows that the work
was well done. The generals in the field
and the authorities in Washington
were in a state of alarm to know what
the Confederates were aiming at.
Wheeler attacked Bolivar. Tenn., de
stroyed bridges there and at Jackson,
skirmished with Federal cavalry and
burned stores, with other valuable
property lying within the Federal dis
tricts
When the Confederates started north
on the great Kentucky invasion, Wheeler
led the cavalry of the left wing. From
the middle of Tennessee northward it
was a race between the two armies
which should reach Louisville first
Wheeler struck the Federal rear between
Bowling Green and Nasbville and cut
the roads, afterward getting ahead of
Bnell at Mnnfordville. Tenn., and Glas
gow. Ky.
With the armies both on the soil of
Kentucky, the maneuver for battle was
begnn. Bragg bad sent Morgan's caval
ry on to the Ohio and retained Wheeler
to break through the passes of rivers,
hold the crossings and do the scouting
for the infantry. This work was so well
performed that when Bragg decided to
abandon the invasion and return to
Tennessee he appointed Wheeler chief
of cavalry, with power to give orders in
the name of his chief and cover the
rear of the army in its retreat. For the
cavalry the retreat was a running fight
all the way to middle Tennessee. The
troopers often fought dismounted be
hind stone walls or hastily made breast-

trains behind, their line charged for

Bragg's Kentucky campaign really
ended at Murfreesboro (Stone River),
for there he halted, and there the Fed
arals. under the leadership of Rosecrans,
brought him to battle in December
While the armies were forming
Wheeler started out to raid the Federal
rear Making a circuit of the camps at
sight, be pounced upon a belated Fed
eral brigade in the morning, and with
8,000 dismounted troopers tried to run
off a train of 04 wagons The train was
in park guarded by infantry Wheeler’s
men charged, but were held off for two
hours The Confederates took out 30
wagons and burned them, then rode on

I in all several hundred prisoners, sl,-
' 000,000 worth of property, and the rn
I tionsand ammunition of a corps, which
I next day was to bear the brunt of the
j terrible battle of Stone River. It took
a day and a night for Wheeler to de
j stroy the unserviceable spoils, exchang
j ing poor and nnserviceable animals and
weaiKins for good odos captured, and
! parole his prisoners. The morning of
the great battle he brought up smiling
in Bragg's camp, having made the en
j tire circuit of the enemy in 48 hours,
and bringing enough extra nccouter
] ments to equip a brigade as large as his
! own. This was Joe Wheeler at 25 years
J of age.
Bragg's final retirement from middle
j Tennessee to the south of the river, a j
! result brought about by the pressure j
j from the toe of Rosecrans’ boot, speak- 1
ing metaphorically, was the occasion of I
many an exciting adventure for his cav
alry chief. The troopers covered the
retrograde movements, and many a
battle came off at the crossings of the
rivers and in the passes of the hills. In
one of them General Wheeler, then a j
major general, had an adventure worthy
one who has come ont of two wars
with a reputation for dash and bravery.
After fighting off the Federals as Shelby
ville, on Duck river, and getting his '
command ont in the teeth of the enemy, j
he discovered that Forrest's Confederate
brigade was coming to the crossing and
in danger of capture by the Federals, :
who held the north bank. The bridge
had not been destroyed, and -with a |
bandfnl Wheeler dashed across, only
to be overrun by the swarming enemy i
Cntoff from the bridge, he told his men
to save themselves and cut their way ;
back to the river. Taking the lead, he
plunged through the Federal line, saber
ing right and left, and leaped his horse
over the bank where it was a fall of 15
feet to the current below Many a horse
and rider sank to rise no more, bnt lit
tle Joe came ont of the bath right side
up in saddle and won another star be
fore the war was over as chief of cav
airy in the west.
\ In the fall oi
fljgZ'-' 18 A 4 Wheeler
V rode for a month
isl in the rear of
vV"-f£*\Jr J Sherman’s army
vVHk./ through Tennea
see and northern
Alabama and
iMPnffi .afterward circled
around to the
OMwyispsjht Billy's column
on Its march to
the sea. He was
JOK whjeeler in 1898. i n at the wind up
in the Carolines, and conceived a bold
plot to rescue Jeff Davis by seising the
steamer upon which the Confederate
leader and his party were conveyed to
Fortress Monroe. A trooper who rode
with Wheeler says of the general:
He was very small and remarkably youth
ful in appearance— almost boyish, exoept for a
heavy silken beard—neat and dapper in dress,
as gentle mannered as a woman, refined in ex
pression, never indulging in oaths or rod«
speech.
It was when the battle was joined, however,
that Wheeler was seen at his best. Then it
was that the little general, mounted on hil
black charger, seemed to grow to the full stat
ure of a cavalryman. If it wns not an at
tack that he was planning, he was organizing
a raid to burn bridges or tear up the rail
roads in the rear of the enemy, so that to
ride with W'heeler was to live in the saddle, to
sleep in the saddle, to be here today, but far
away tomorrow.
Only a white silken beard distinguish
ed the Wheeler of the sixties from the
Joe Wheeler of 1898. He was wiry, alert
and brave at Santiago, and carried him
self with all the fire of a volunteer,
guided by the training of a skillet! sol
dier. Bnt somehow circumstances pre
vented him from doing full justice to
bis military reputation at Santiago. He
was pi evented from attacking El Caney
as he had planned, and he did not lead
his division in the attack on San Jnan
hill. He helped hold the hill and was a
positive force in the campaign after the
first blow had been struck.
The veterans at Suntiago were the
mainstay of the line. The younger gen
eration looked up to them with confi
dence and admiration, and the fact that
Wheeler's Inst uniform before he put
on khaki was the gray mad*' no differ
ence He was brave and wanted to
smash Spaniards all right That was
enough Besides every one knew that
the Confederates put up a good fight,
and the old flag is all the safer with
that stock in line again, if Wheeler had
done no more than to face Spaniards at
long range be would have signified by
that act the reunion of the blue and the
gray nnder one flag forever
Passing from the battle with Span
iards at Santiago to the battle with fe
ver and want at Camp Wikoff, Wheeler
showed himself in a still grander light.
Up to the 10th of September he had
with him in camp two sons and two
daughters holding up his hands In the
struggle to alleviate suffering among
the stricken victors of El Caney and
San Juan Hill The boy who was
drowned in the surf was a Joe Wheeler
in his teens, and so the team was com
plete—brains, youth and woman's ten
derness. If the fighters at Santiago can
never forget Joe Wheeler the soldier,
neither can the victims of famine and
fever forget the tireless administrator
of the ill provided camp at Montank.
He was their friend, the instrument for
carrying out the humane impulse of the
country when the horrible truth was
made known that an enemy worse than
Manser bullets had struck at the vitals
of the army of liberation. No soldier at
Camp Wikoff was so lowly but that his
J story penetrated headquarters, and if
i he had no father or brother or sister
to ccme to his relief then the com
manding general himself or his son or
hiß danghter acted the part of father,
brother or sister until the crisis was
over and the last service done. Doubly
a hero, then, was Joe Wheeler, a sol
dier free from the vices of the camp.

HOW TO AVOID POOR LIGHTS.
Oil Not AlW»»ys to llluitir Direction*
I or <art* of
Many of our people are strongly of
the opinion that an oil that falls below
the limits prescribed by law is a poor
oil, in the sense that it will not give a
good light Tnis is incorrect; an unsafe
oil need not necessarily be a poor ilia
minant, and generally is not. Many
have a poor light because of lack of care
and attention to their lamps and wicks.
The following points should be care
fuly heeded by those who would get
the best results from their lamps:
1. Use a good wick, the open woven
wick, known as the “American wick,”
is excellent. Do not nse too long a
wick; cut it only a few inches longer
than is necessary to reach the bottom
of the lamp. Do not have a great coil
of wick in the lamp.
2. In adjusting a new wick, fit it to
the burner, soak the wick in oil, light
the wick, let the lamp burn a few min
utes, then blow it out and trim your
wick by niov ng the finger over the
charred part ve ly and sm< o bly in
one direction on y Repeat until the
surface feels smooth and even; this is
always the best p.an to pursue in trim
ming the wick. Do not use the shears,
unless perhaps to cut off long and un
even threads at the start. Always trim
the wick in this way after each night’s
use.
3. Remember that dirt will get into
the oil. little particles that perhaps you
can not see, and this floating dirt will
gradually accumulate in the wick which
acta as a filter to hold back the dirt as
the oil ascends the wick. After a time
this dirt choker up the pores or inter
stices in the wick, and partiaily de
stroys its i*>wer of capillarity. Then
the light begins to fail because the oil
canuot get to it. So don’t economize
on wicks; they are much cheaper than
eyesight Put 10 a new one wheu
needed. Don’t pin or sew a piece of
doth, stocking or red flannel on the end
of your wick to eke out its existence,
and at the same time expect to get good
light
4. Remember that occasionally, say
once in 10 days, or whenever needed,
the dirty, dreggy oil in the bottom
should lie thrown out. It may be saved,
if desired, by filtering it through a fine
piece of cotton cloth. Then rinse out
the lamp with some clear bright oil.
Don’t clean the inside of your lamp
with water; if you do your lamp will
probably give a poor light when yon
next use it, sputter and give you
trouble.
5. Occasionally, say once in 10 days,
or wheu yen see it is needed, give the
burner a thorough cleaning. Boil it
with hot water and Boda so as to get
out all greasy dirt, and open up the air
passages. Then dry it thoroughly in
the suu or over the stove before usiug.
6. Dou’t buy red oil; it never gives as
good a light as the same quantity of oil
without the red coloring matter.
If you attend carefully to all these
rules and still gst poor light, you may
abuse the oil companies, but not before.
In all the cases of poor light and bad
oil 1 have so far investigated the trouble
must have been due to neglect of some
of the above simple precautions, which
ought to be udopted in every well regu
lated household. Remember that the
state will see to it that no uusafe oil is
furnished you, and because a lamp
gives a poor light it is no evidence that
the oil is unsafe. In the recent oil in
vestigation 1 examined some oils which
were undoubtedly uusafe and below the
law, but yet when I burned them day
after day in a properly cared for lamp,
no fault could be found with the light
they gave. John M. McCandless,
State Chemist.

PLANT OATS NEXT SEASON.
Injury io < on, by Drt.uifi Makes Tills
■*!. p Advisable.
The necessity of small grain for feed
crop constrains me to urge the farmers
to plant outs for another season, as the
drouth has cut off our corn crop consid
erably this year. Our severe winters
have killed most of the oat crop for the
last three years, but this is largely on
account of late fall planting and pool
preparation of lands sown in this cereal.
Experience has taught that oats sown
the last of August and until the last of
September not only yield a heavier
grain but also give the plants a better
growth and its roots extend longer and
become sturdier in the ground, whioh
of course make the plant hardier and
less liable to be killed by freezes
My plan is to sow oats on corn land
as soon as the corn can be gatherod. I
After the fodder is pulled and the shuck
ripens then cut the cornstalks down j
with ear on stalks and shock it. The |
corn ripen, in these shocks nicely and
can be pulled off stalks at some future
time and the stalks are then ready
■hreader.
Thoroughly break this land with turn
ing plows, ana after this plowing, sow
broadcast 30 or 40 bushels of cottonseed
per acre, or if you have not enough cot
tonseed then bow broadcast 300 to 400
ponuds of add phosphate with potash
per acre, the formulas being 3 par cent
of phosphoric acid and 4 per oeut of
potash. Then sow two to three bushels
of oats per acie (accordiug to the fertil
ity of the laud) and harrow them in
thoroughly with a good diso harrow, or
plowing with scooter or ripper plows so
as not to plow iu the manure or the
graiu. too deep. Then roll land so as to
level the land wuh a 2-horse roller and
continue to roll the grain crop when the
freezes come during the winter so as to
pack the ground around the roots and
protect the grain from the heavy spew
ing. Every farmer should have a roller,
(and they can be easily and cheaply
made.) I know of no implement that
gives more value iu return for the
money than a good roller properly used
on a grain crop. Try it and you will be
pleased with results.
Under this connection it might be
well to add that all Bmall grain should
not be put in the ground too deep,
neither should the manurial elements,
as the roots follow the manure and
when the freeze comes it breaks the
deeper roots and the grain is injured.
What we desire is to procure the largest
amount of lateral roots whioh helps
hold the upper surface of the land to
gether and thus protect the gram from
the spews.—State Agricultural Depart
ment.

Question Please give me your
method of curing peavine hay.
Answer —Toe vines should be out as
soon as the pods begin to riiien and al
lowed to remain over from two to six
hours on a bright sunshiny day. Then
take your huy fork and put your vines
into cocks about three feet high; the
vines should he allowed to remain, if
possible, through the second day. Then
nse your hay fork aud place the vines
on stacks 12 or 14 feet high, or just high
enough for the fork to reach the top of
the pole. The pole should be sharpened
and the hay should be stacked about 10
feet high. A better plan would be to
have boles bored into the stack poles
and drive pins in, so ike air would have
free access. However, the hay would
cure very nicely In dry weather with
out this precaution. After the hay
has cured about five or six days, ac
cording to the state of the weather,
your hay will be ready for the barn.
The Unknown pea, the Clay pea and
the Black pea are probably the best
varieties. Yon can obtain any of these
varieties from a reliable wholesale mer
chant, either in Atlanta, Macon or Au
gusta. Mark W. Johnson of Atlanta
I am satisfied could furnish you.
From three pecks to one bushel and a
half of the peas should be sown to the
acre, according to the fertility of the
soiL The plan of broadcasting them in
your corn, when you lay by, is used by
many good farmers, if you do not get
much hay and peas, yonr land will be
greatly improved, which is one of the
chief advantages to be derived by sow
ing your land in peas. If you wish to
enrich yonr soil, the Whippoorwill va
riety is probably the best for this use.
Three pecks to the acre will be suffi
cient to plant in your corn when you
lay by. Now, as to whether yonr
oorn would be injured by the peas or
not, Ido not believe the iu jury would
be sufficient to overcome the great ben
efit the pea crop would be to the land.

“ Best ”is an easy boast. But there’s
no best without a test. You expect some
thing extra of best; something extra in
bread from best flour; something extra in
wear from best cloth ; something extra
in cures from best medicines. It’s that
something extra in Ayer’s Sarsaparilla that
makes Ayer’s the best. That something
extra is quality. Remember, it’s quality
that cures, not quantity. Geo. Smith, of

other kind.’ When they take it I never

Question —Please tell me what, in
your opinion, would be a good forage
plant tor spring pasturing and hay.
Answer—For a good forage plaiit
and for spring pasturing and hay, I
would recommend the Hairy Vetch
(Vicia Villosn )
This plan; is a native of Europe, but
has been grown as a forage crop in the
United States for a long time, and has
proved very satisfactory. It is espe
cially adapted to the sonthern climate,
and is able to withstand the drouth and
extremely hot weather. It should be
sowed either broadcast or in drills from
Sept. 1 to Sept. 15, and if you have
a favorable season for about six
weeks, it will take a good start and
grow through the winter, furnishing
winter and early spring pasture. It
should be cut for fodder when the pods
are about half matured. If properly
cured, it makes good hay, and can be
handled like cow peas. The seed is
quite expensive, costing about $4 00 per
bushel. It is also similar to the cow
pea as a soil renovator. —State Agricult*
ural Department.
• Cornstalk liorers.
Question—Our oorn crop i« being
ruined by a worm, samples of which I
send you. What is it aud what is the
remedy?
Answer —Upon examining the stalks
I found several worms boring in them,
which proved to be the larger cornstalk
borer (Diatnra sacchar iltis). This in
sect is quite weii distributed over the
southern states aud sometimes becomes
quite troublesome. It also attacks
sugar cane, sorghum and gama grass.
There are two generations, and the last
one passes the winter in the old corn
stalks. No remedy can be applied to
the growing crop to stop their ravages,
but they can be prevented from damag
ing the crops in succeeding years. Af
ter the crop is gathered in the fall, all
the old cornstalks should be dragged off,
collected and burned to destroy the
over wintering brood. Also a system
of rotation of crops should be adopted.
Corn following corn on the same g >uud
can reasonably be expected to bo dam
aged by these worms. If these prevent
ative measures are followed the farmers
need net suffer from this pest.—State
Entomologist, Agricultural Department.

On account of the severe drouth the
greater portion of this state has been
subjected to during the past five or six
weeks, the cotton crop has been very
badly damaged. The bolls have been
forced open prematurely, and the lint
and seed in the bottom bolls have not
been perfected. It is necessary, there
fore, that the farmers of the state be
very careful in gathering their crop,
nrot only on account of preserving the
whiteness of their cotton, in case there
should be rain, but also this bottom crop
should be picked as fast as possible, so
as to procure these prematurely devel
oped seed in the first picking and use
them for feed or mannrial purposes.
It is nocessary to preserve the best
seed of the crop for planting purposes
for another season, and, therefore, the
seed from the second picking should be
saved for planting seed. Great care
should be taken to separate the seed
that are to be used for manures or
feeding purposes from the seed you in
tend to use for planting purposes, as
the crop for another seasou depends
npou the care taken in selecting the
seed which you intend to plant.
The seed from the second picking
will be more mature aud have better
germinating power than the seed from
the first picking. A great many farm
ers oomplain of bad stands in the early
spring, and this is greatly caused by
the lack of care in selecting the plant
ing seed.—State Agricultural Depart
