Bv EDWARD B. CLARK. 'ASHINQTON. During the first. four days of July the battlefield of Gettysburg. Pa, will again be the scene of a meeting of ttie"-Blue and the Grby, but this time they will meet in' amity and affection. A half-century will have passed since last these men. of two great American armies met on this northern field. Then they were face to faco in deadly conflict, for the Issue, it was well understood to both con tending forces, was the success of the southern cause, or the beginning of Its defeat, to be followed by the restora tion of the Union as it had been before the first shot was fired at Fort Sum ter. The United States government and the government of. nearly every state in the Union have combined to make the Gettysburg reunion of the soldiers of the north and south one of the great peace events of the. century. The state of Pennsylvania some time ago ap pointed a "Fiftieth Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg commission" to make preparations for'the four days' reunion, at which Pennsylvania as a state waS to act as host to. the vet-' erans of the war between the states and to the thousands oif' visitors who" would follow their march to the field of battle, and appropriated $150,000 for the purpose of entertaining the vet erans.'/ 40,000 Veterans Expected. It Is expected that 40,000 veterans of the war, not all of them, however, survivors of the Gettysburg battle, will be found encamped- upon the field when Tevellle sounds on -the morning of July 1.* It will be a different re veille than that which the fife and drum corps of the two great armies sounded fifty, years ago. The call to awakening will be a call to a peaceful celebration while the call to the, awak ening In July, 1863, was a call of armies to cpnfllct and, to thousands of men, a call to death. For years' the veterans have been looking foi'ward to this reunion. It is probable that there will be present many thousanda of survbrors /b^ thie battle. The United States goverainent under an act of congress has appro-' priated money for the preparation of the camps and for the messing of the soldier visitors. The average age of the men engaged in the Civil war was only eighteen years, but fifty rears have passed since these soldier boys fought at Gettysburg, and so if this Computation of age was a true one the average years of the veterans who will meet in Pennsylvania In July will be about sixty-eight years. Many of them, of course, will be much older an& 9. good i^any of .them, men who entered at 'ages ranging from fourteen to sev enteen years) will be younger, but sill will be bid men as the world views age. j-: Many of the states of the Union, north as well as south, have made ap propriations to send their veterans to the Gettysburg reunion and to pay all other expenses. The battle of Gettys burg Is recognised as the turning point of the war between the states. It has been called time and again one o'f the decisive battles of the world. Gener ally it Is recognised that Gettysburg decided the great: conflict, helped In the decision probably by the fall of Vickaburg on the Mississippi,'which took place virtually at the moment that the conflict on the Pennsylvania field was decided In'favor of the north ern arms. The preparations which the govern ment Is making to. care for the veter ans at Gettysburg are interesting. They lutve been under the charge of James B^Aleshlre, quartermaster gen eral of the United \States army, and Henry O. Sharpe, commissary general of the United States army. *Two years ago last March 14,000 regular troops were gathered In camp at Texas. The health of the soldiers throughout the Texas encampment was almost, per fect, made so by the plans which' had been carefully laid to see that perfect 'sanitation was maintained: The Unit ed States army was taught a lesson by tfce SpanlSh war)' when lack of proper sanitary precautions and unpre paredness In other ways cost the'gov ernment the lives of more 'men than were isacriflced to the bullets of the Spaniard. The estimates' of the commissary 'and quartermaster authorities are based upon an "attendance of 40,000 vetr erans. It probably will cost the gov ernment.about $360,000 to act In part as host to the survivors of the battle and other veterans who attend the Gettysburg reunion. Big Task to Feed Men, The survivors of the war from4 the north' and south who will be. present, being old men, must be cared for In a way which would not have been nec essary fifty years ag6. The messing of the veterans will require 400 army ranges, great field bakery, 40,000 mess kits, 800 cooks, 800 kitchen help ers and 130 bakers. This helping per sonnel will bo required to be In camp for at least seven days, and many of them for a longer period, for the pur pose of Installing, the field bakery, the field ranges and In dismantling, clean ing, packing and storing material after the encampment Is over. The old soldiers are to be shpplled with fresh meat directly from refrig erator cars drawn upon the field. They wl9 be given fresh vegetables and spe cial bread with the best coffee and tea which the market affords. For them it will not be a case of hardtack, bootleg and poor bacon. The Battle of Gettysburg commis sion of the state of Pennsylvania has a large sum of money at Its disposal Wall Fitted for ths Post. "So yon think you would make a satisfactory valet for an old human wreck like myself, do you?" said the old soldier to the applicant for- the position of body-servant. "You know I have a glass eye, a wax arm, and a wooden leg that need to be looked after, not to mention nfy false teeth." "Oh, that's all right, colonel," said the applicant, cheerfully. "I worked five years in the assemt^lng depart ment of the motor-car works, and there isn't a machine on the market 'for the entertainment of the visiting veterans, and the thousands of persons Wbo will accompany them. Hospital ity is to mark" the days. Fifty yeairs' ago Pennsylvania aided in the work of repelling the visitors from the south. In early July next the. same state will have Its arms wide open In welcome to the men wearing the gray. Enter tainments of various kinds will be of fered the visiting veterans, but it is pretty well understood that their deep Interest in revisiting the scenes wbers they fought. Little Round Top, Oak Ridge. Cemetery Hill. Culp'if Hill. Rock Creek, the Stone Wall and other places will hold them largely to the pleasures and to the sadnesses of per sonal reminiscences. Arm In arm with the Union soldiers the Confederate sol dtens will retramp the battleground. They will look over the field of Plck .ett's desperate charge. They .will re trace the marching steps of Long street'e corps. They will go to the: place where Meade had his headquar ters and to the place from which Lee directed his sbuthern forces lnrfbattle. Pennsylvania Is going to make a great celebration of peacj- of this fif tieth anniversary of what probably was the decisive battle of the war, al though it was fought nearly two years before the war ended. Other states will help Pennsylvania in its work, and from every section of the country, north, east, south and west, the vet erans will assemble, most' of them probably to see for the last time in life the field upon which they were willing to die for the sake of their re spective causes. Tbe veterans will not be directly en camped in the Gettysburg park, which Is dotted with monuments to the vari ous commands which tank.'part In^the fight and which Is laid am In approved park fashion, with fine drives and beautifully kept lawns. There will be two camps, known as No. 1 and No. 2. No. 1 will cover 149 acres and No. Will cover 44 acres. The layouts of these camps are based on the use of conical tents, each of which will, wltti out crowding, accommodate eight per sons. Inasmuch as accommodations are to be furnished for 40,000 visitors 5,000 tents will be required to give quarters to the visiting hosts. The quartermaster general in a re port says: "It is assumed that the meals will be served to the visitors in a manner, similar to. that used by the regular troops when In camp for short periods that is, by having each man go to the kitchen with his mess kit to be served there and dining In his tent or other convenient places." Visitors to Bs Cared For." Every possible care Is to be taken of the visitors. The sanitary arrange ments which have been made are said to be the best that are possible and they are the result of. careful study by medical ofllcers of the service.' All the experience of the past has been dfawn upon to make It certain that-the health of the .veterans will be conserved while they are in camp. N With so many thousands of old jsol dlers In attendance, and .taking into consideration the probability that the weather will be warm. It is expected that there will be sickness, but the United States' government and the state of Pennsylvania are preparing for a hospital service which shall bo adequate to any contingency. There will be hospital corps detachments present ready to render first aid to the Injured, and' there will be many field hospitals with surgeons In at tendance, where the sick can receive Instant attendance. It Is said that this contemplated re union has induced more interest among the old soldiers of the north and the south than any event which has happened since the. dsy that ths war closed. There Is today at Gettys burg a great national park. In which Is included a cemetery where thou sands of soldier dead are buried. Ths United States government and the leg islature of Pennsylvania worked to gether to make a park of the battle field and to mark accurately every point in It which has ^historic Interest.' [When one goes to the field he can tell Just where this'brigade or that bri gade was engaged^, Just where this charge or that charge was made' and Just where the desperate defenses of positions were maintained untilp,the tide of battle brought either victo^ or defeat to one of the immediate com mands engaged. It. was Jin 1895 that congress estab lish^ a national park at Gettysburg and gave the Secretaiy of war author ity to name-a commission "to superin tend the opening of additional roads, mark the boundaries ascertain and definitely: mark the lines of battje of troops -engaged, to acquire lands which were occupied by Infantry, cavalry and artillery, atyd such other adjacent lands as the secretary of war-may deem necessary to preserve the impor tant topographical features of the bat tlefield," When the (Union and the Confeder ate veterans reach Gettysburg on June 30 -next they will find on the scene of the old conflict between five and six hundred memorials raised in commem oration of the deeds of their com mands on the great fields of the Penn sylvania battlefield. There are, more over, 1,000 markers placed to desig nate historic 8pots. There' are great towers built upon the field by the gov^. eminent so that bird's-eye views can be obtained of |^e entire scene of the, battle. .Fine roads have -been con stpicted and everywhere attention, has been .paid to every detail of the least. Importance In setting forth the history of one of the 'greatest battles ever known to warfare. It is expected that much good will come from the reunion of the Blue and the Gray on the battlefield of Gettys burg. Time has healed many wounds. The old soldiers have forgotten their animosities more readily than have the civilians. It Is thought that this great'comlng together In peace of two once .conflicting hosts will mark the passing of the last trace of the bitter ness of the war between the'states of this great Union. w. fy'0 Impatience.

Uusually Csused by Ignorance -. 'yf- of Kseper. More and more our farmers are be coming interested In- tbe poultry business, and the hen now reigns supreme .on many farms. Nearly all seem to devote their attention "to the chickens exclusively, thus making the opportunity for obtaining good returns from geese all the better.' I believe that many will find it profitable, to give this line of work a trial, writes an Ohio farmer in the Farm Progress. Many seem to have gained the impression that geese are hard to raise, but I do not think so, as experience has. shown them to be ,much less bother than chickens. I al ways use hens for hatching, giving each one six eggs, and I usually get good results. When hatched, the goslings are taken from the hen, and placed in a warm, box a couple of days. After that they are taken out to a spot •where t!here is plenty of tender grass and given a shallow pan filled with water. Do this for a few days, and they will learn where their quarters are, and they may then be allowed to run where they please. Losses are usually caused by Igno rance on the part of the keeper. Gos lings are unlike chicks, lyr they re quire little feed. Tender grasses and similar greens is all they require, and the feeding of* other stuff will soon cause bowel trouble and death. Neither do geese require running Flock of Toulouse Geese. water or large ponds, as many be lleve. Just enough water for drink ing purposes Is sufficient. I prefer the White Emboden or large Toulouse geese, as they are larger, more hardy and reach maturity In a less time. At two months of 'age they are nearly grown and: full feathered except the wings. As soon aB the feathers are free from blood in the quills the geese may he picked, and If they were hatched early they may be picked four times before Cold weather. The feathers obtained will soon re jpay the cost, of raising the. geese and as their keep is a very small item, thereafter the feathers are nearly all profit. During the past few years geese have come to be very popular at the holiday season and bring prices that mean a big profit. KEEP POULTRY HOUSE ^LEAN Good Results In Matter of Laying Can net Bs Obtained If Pullets'Quar tsrs .Are Dirty. *5 No use to expect the best- results in /the matter of laying If you allow your pullets to stay in dirty quarters, says Coleman's Rural. Get busy with, the whitewash brush and the kerosene spraay, and clean, clean, clean. Not only Inside -the house, but the premises all around it. If you have'fifty pullets for your laying bunoh It will. take, about two hours to dust them, and time cannot be betteir spent. Let one person hold the pullets' by the legs while the other fires Insect powder Into the feathers with a powderr gun. Get it under-the wings, around the head, neck and ev ery place where the feathers are soft and fine, for there is' where the mlteB and lice love to ouddle and feast Referring to the use of keroBene spray, fill the roosts and all.the cracks around the nests and roofing with It, for it is there the pestiferous mites hide. You know body lice remain on the fowls all the time, but the i^ites seek the 'roosts and cracks for mo ments of seclusion.- Proper Time to Sell Hogs. As a general. proposition, it seldom pays to carry hogs long after they are ready for market. Feeders- who have held their hogs for a rise in the market have found that the expensive feeds wipe out all'the advantages of a higher price later. Gains must be made or profits will be materially reduced. Light feed ing is a risky speculation,.' because they cannot be carried along without expensive grain feeds. Heavy feed ing can be continued profitably to growing pigs as long as supplement feeds are fed along with the fat put on by the corn. In this way 150 to 200 pound»hogs can be continued on full 'eed to a weight of. 200 pounds or mpre and pay large profits. Hatching Eggs Small End Down. A poultry authority says that if the egg is placed on the side or large end heavy yolk will settle to the bot tom and' come In contact with the shell, which admits the aid. If it is placed oh the small end, it toll, al ways have a layer of white between It and the shell. Make Great Egg Strains. Proper selection and breeding are what make the great egg strains, and not the breed. \.V-/ —. Rape for Pasture. Rape makes a good pasture crop for hogs. If you have no special pas ture for your hogs this year sow a: little rape sow different patches at intervals of two weeks or such a mat ter. In this way you will have plenty of green feed until frost. Hpgs^re, fond of rape. Milk Returns. Twelve to sixteen good daiiy cows Rt»ould produce 30 to 35 gallons of milk daily testing from 3.6 to 4 per, cent 1 1 Excellent- Pfsir' for Getting Rid of Weed Is to Bury It So Deep Will .v-^ Never Sprout Again. 1 Our plan of getting rid of quack grass is to bury It so deep that It will never" corns" tip'to the light of day again. But If we have a shallow soli It will not do to ,turn up ths raw subsoil all at once. A deep soil is very desirable, and will make the quack grass supply ub with It. In the fall we plow the ground fully ten inches deep, being sure to use a plow .that lay^ the furrow, down Quack Grass. flat, and not cocked up on edge. must also use a roller coulter large and Bharp enough to cut the quack roots off clean to the the bottom of the sod, as explained by an .expert in the Farm and Home. Quack roots are usually all in the first four or five inches of the top soil. We do not want to pull any of these roots out with a dull plow or coulter so as to have them stick up and grow. We During the winter top dress the ground with manure, and In' the spring seed either to oats and grass again, or to any quick, rank-growing crop that .will come up before stray spears of quack gets a start. Follow the same system-again, this time put ting the plow down twelve inches,{and go right oh over again until you have the plow down fourteen or* six teen inches if necessary. In this way we not only get rid of the quack grass, but we also get a good deep soil and mulch, and at the same' time -we get the benefits of sub-soiling. PULLETS BETTER THAN HENS? Enthusiasts Tske Opposite Sides on the Egg Laying.Argument—Few Good Points Given. A question' that is. being debated much at present among poultrymen Is whether hens or pullets are capable of greater egg production. Some claim that, while hens lay fewer eggs than pullets, they lay lariger and heavier eggs, and because of this fact the .eggs command a better price than those laid by pullets. It Is true that most hens do lay a slightly heavier, egg than pullets, but In many sections of the United States eggs are sold with: out grading, and consequently the smaller egg commands as good a price as the larger one. Others are In favor of pullets be cause they lay so many eggs which, they claim, possess a better flavor than those laid by nens. No one dis putes the fact that pullets are better layers than hens'. The eggs laid by pullets do not hatch as well as those of hens. The chicks from pullet eggs and not, as a rule, nearly so strong and lively as those from hen eggs. For this reason It seems to be advisable to use gullets for layers and hens for breeders ,7 0 'For'the Asparagus Beds.'"

For a homo patch, deep spading may do, but care must be taken to get tbe manure well halted with the soil if best results are desired. For larger beds the manure should be turned under with a plow. Deep plowing Is advantageous in most cases. The first plowing should be done* late in the fall, the second early in the spring. Good, strong, one-yesr-i old roots ar$ the best. A long bed, single row for the home garden, is better anil more easily mapaged than a short bed of a number of rows. The plants should have plenty of spa^e. -U .... Ground Phosphate' Rock.

Fat lambs always bring a good price. Keep them growing every minute from their first breath. -A barbed wire cut always leaves a scar. A scar always takes the value off a young horse. Collars should never be swapped from one horse to another any more that men should trade boots or shoeB Oats is a very valuable feed for the working horse. Are the pigs making profits out of the feeds consumed? The milch goat is having quite a boom just now, but there is little dan ger that the cow will be crowded off the earth. Rape has been found to be one of the best forage crops in connection with alight grain ration to make rapid and economical growth in pigs.
