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- UIUTKNANT GENERAL JOSEPH WHEKLKR, C. 8.

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. t a Confederate free from bitterness, an American nobleman free from the pride of rank and privilege , George L.

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.

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.

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. —State Agricultural Department DeWitt’sU.ittle Early Risers expel from the system all poisonous accumu lations, regulates the stomach, bowels and liver, and purify the blood.

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 the People’s Drug Store, Seymour, Conn., says : “ I have sold your goods for twenty five years, and when a customer asks me for The Best Preparation for the Blood I say : ‘ If you will take my opinion, use Ayer’s Sarsaparilla; I will guarantee that you will receive more benefit by using one or two bottles of Ayer’s than you would by using half a dozen bottles of some other kind.’ When they take it I never hear any complaint.” I ( ’orag;f Plant. 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. “What might have been”—lf that little cough hadn’t, been neglected—is the sad reflection of thousands of con sumptives.

Necessary to Be Carvfui In Gathering the Crop. 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 ment.
