Reminiscences of The First
Maine Cavalry.
The transfer of the Maine men in the
Dt D. C. to the 1st Maine Cavalry on the
24th of September, what was left of the
eight companies from Maine of the 1st
D. C. Cavairy after the fight at Sycamore
church, an account of which was given in
my last paper, were formerly transferred
to the 1st Maine Cavalry, writes John
W. West in the Lewiston Journal. Gen.
Smith, at that time the colonel of the 1st
Maine,in an oration delivered at Pittsfield,
in 188U, thus speaks of the consolidation:
“In September, 1864, so much of the
First District of Columbia Cavalry as
had been raised in Maine—eight or nine
companies in all —a regiment in itself,
was transferred to the First Maine.
They were our friends and neighbors at
home. They had served with us in the
same great army in the same campaigns,
and side by side with us in battle. Their
coming was to the regiment a magnifi
cent recruitment of veterans. The con
solidation was effected with singular har
mony and success, while the only import
ant change made in the regiment by the
transfer was, that it became thereby
immensely more First Maine Cavalry
than bifore, and in the record of its sub
sequent campaigns of battle and victories,
from Boydton plank road to historical
Appomattox, we see only one regiment
and one hislorv. ’’
That was the way it appeared “to the
man men higher up”--the commanding
officer. Hut it was quite different to the
rank and file. The transfer was largely on
paper for a very large portion were absent
some in hospitals, some at the dismounted
camp awaiting horses and some on de
tached duty, but by tar the greater num
ber of the absentees were in rebel pri
sons, captured in the Wilson raid and at
Sycamore church a few days before
the transfer. Many of the men borne on
the transfer rolls and assigned to the dif
ferent companies of the 1st Maine were
at that very time dead or died before
their release from the rebel prisons, and
who never saw the regiment. As an
illustration, of the 25 men of Co. G.
who were captured at Sycamore church,
only three were known to have survived
the barbarities of the prison pens of the
South.
At first the transfer created consider
able ill feeling on the pan of the men
from both regiments, especially among
the commissioned and non-commissioned
officers, whose chances of promotion
were lessened. Nor is this to be wonder
ed at for the men of the grand old regi
ment who had served out their first term
of enlistment, and had re-enlisted for
tne rest of the war, with the hope and
promise of promotion, which they had so
richly merited in more than a score of
hard fought battles, were sadly disap
pointed, lor when a vacancy occurred, a
man from the first D. C. was assigned to
fill it. In many of the companies the
complement of officers was largely in
creased, especially was this the case of
the non-commissioned officers, and those
from the first D. C. were mustered on
the rolls as unassigned. The non-com
missioned officers belonging formerly to
the first D. C. claimed that according to
the articles of war, they were entitled to
their discharge and sent a petition to the
secretary of war to be mustered out of
the service, but their petition was
pigeonholed. They also sent a delegate
to Washington to intercede with the war
department, but to no purpose. The
government was in need of men and
kept them. But the disappointment was
not all on one side, for when a vacancy
in the commissioned staff occurred to
which a man from the first D. C. was en
titled by his rank, a transfer was made
to fill it and the promotion was given to
a man from the old regiment.
xiiid win bijuw iiittt nitre were several
ways to “skin cats" in the army as well
as at home. As a matter of history only
one Bergeant from the first D. C. re
ceived a commission, and that was Jeff
L. Coburn, well known in this city. He
was promoted second lieutenant, Co. H.,
May 2, ’65.
At the time of the transfer, the
men of the first Maine cavalry were
veterans tried and true, and had won
fame and a name second to none in
the Union army. They were splen
didly officered and thoroughly disciplin
ed, having participated in more than a
score of the hardest-fought battles
of the Civil War. The regiment had cut
the red tape of the tactics then in use
and had adopted the single rank forma
tion instead of the cumbersome double
rank, so that when it deployed from the
column into line every man on the firing
line was in the front rank and had room
to fight according to his size and bravery.
Lieut. Tobie in his history of the First
Maine thus speaks of the transfer:
“This transfer at first created consider
able feeling on the part of the men of
both commands, especially among the
commissioned and non-commissioned
officers whose chances of promotion, were
lessened; and besides this, the boys of
the First Maine were inclined to Ipok up
on the new-comers with disfavor.”
Would they stand the test under fire, or
in a charge? But after they had been to
gether in a few engagements, the old
men found that the new recruits were
from Maine and had the reputation and
honor of the grand old State at heart.
“From that time until the end of the
war the men were ail members or the
First Maine and all alike jealous of its
glory and fame and the regiment lost
none of its prestige by this addition.”
After the transfer, the regiment was
engaged in nine great battles as follows:
Boydton Road, Bellefield, Dinwiddie,
Eames Cross Roads, Oeatonsville, Sailors
Creek, Brfry Creek, Farmville and Ap
By order of the War depart
‘h the8e, were all allowed to be ins
,°? th« regimental flag, making a
grand total of 86—a greater number than
any other regiment in the Union army.
°ne °f, the reunions of the regi
ment ben. Chamberlain feelingly spoke
fin^i ?art t,fle First Maine took in the
f struggle to prevent Lee’s army
^hi?;n„re!!kl1nK. trough the toils Gen.
bhendan had thrown in front of it. He
said part: “I was so favored to see
you in several engagements. Brandy
station was one I shall never forget.
But how can any human words speak the
emotions that still swell in my heart
?.!}en, , remember that morning of the
9th of April, 1865, when, having myself
received a message from Gen. Sheridan
to break off with my brigade from the
column and come to his support, I doub
le-quicked through miles to that field
and saw you there in that magnificent
scene, holding your own, or almost hold
ing it, at any rate, surging like the very
waves of the ocean before the old Stone
wall Jackson corps of infantry—when
from midnight, or nearly so, until 8
o’clock in the morning, the cavalry,
single-handed, without any infantry sup
porting them, had held at hay that most
magnificent army of the rebellion, the
Army of Northern Virginia.
“That was a scene and a feat which
history never saw before or since. 1 say,
without fear of contradiction, that it
was the cavalry, and the First Maine
Cavalry, which held the post of honor in
that crowning and consummating Beene,
without which we should not have been
able to stop Lee. He would have got
i somehow or other to Lynchburg, had it
not been tor your magnificent speed and
strength, which held him at bay.” Speak
ing of Appomattox, Gen. C. H. Smith
said: “What a glorious ending of a glori
ous career! It has often been asked,
‘who fired the last shot at Appomattox?’
“That question has never been deter
mined, and it is not possible that it ever
will be. The question, however, as to
who tired the first shot on that ever-to
be-remembered morning, is not in doubt.
The First Maine Cavalry received the
first, attack of that pent-up and doomed
rebel army, and tired the first shot to re
pel it. It also continued its firing in the
very front till hostilities were ended and
the grand old Army of the Potomac com
manded peace to the country.”
In writing these historical sketches of
the First D. C. Cavalry, my purpose has
been to show that the men from Maine
who enlisted in that unfortunate regi
ment, were equal in efficiency and brav
ery to any that the State sent to the
front in the Civil war. If my purpose
has been accomplished I shali feel amply
rewarded.

FGR FLETCHER’S
CASTORIA
GERMANY PLANNED TO ATTACK
AMERICA.
Boston, April 18. To show the “deep
hatred” which he asserted Germany has
held against the United States, former
Ambassador James W. Gerard, tonight
disclosed facts which he says had been
kept from the American people during
the past two and one half years. He
was the principal speaker at a national
defense dinner given by the Pilgrim Pub
licity association, at which covers were
laid for more than 2,000 persons.
Mr. Gerard said .hat Admiral von Tir
pitz, in thinly veiled statements, and the
German Reichstag and Prussian Parlia
ment in open discussions, proposed the
institution of unrestricted submarine
warfare against England, with the in
tention, "when England should have
been subdued by hunger, to come over
to the United States and collect the
price of the war from us.”
Planned to Attack Us.
“I want to tell you,” Mr. Gerard add
ed, “that if we had not gone into this
war, Germany would have fulfilled its in
tention to come over here afterwards
and attack us, and would have done so
almost with the applause of the rest of
the world. I can tell you also that
everything consistent with honor was
done to keep us out of the war. Beyond
that, I am sure, none would have us go. ”
The former ambassador expressed his
belief that citizens of German descent
would prove loyal, but, he added, “If
they do not stand with us, I think we
know where to festoon them.”
Relating results of his inspection of ;
prison camps in Germany, the speaker
said that in one the German commander !
had ordered French and English prison
ers transferred to the barracks of the !
Russians, in which typhus fever had de- I
veloped saying “you like your allies so
well, perhaps you would like to live with
them.” This was an act condemning the
French and British to certain death, Mr.
Gerard said. “In the camp of the Irish
prisoners at Lemberg he found men dy
ing of lack of nourishment and others
going crazy.
"We have unfortunately a Prussian
element in this country,” said Mr. Ger
ard. “There are the Prussian Irish, the
Prussian Germans and the Prussian
Americans. The latter are masquerad
ing as pacifists.”
‘ wc ociiuus i lung.
Hid statement that the war would be a
hard one was echoed by Major General
Leonard Wood, U, S. A., commanding
the department of the East.
“No one can tell how the war is going
to go bo far aB we are concerned.” he
said. “It may be a very serious thing
for ub. It is very serious now. We have
got to send a lot of men across the sea,
and we must bring back a lot of men
who die on the other siJe. It will not be
a paper war. It will be a war of living
men and important as food, money and
munitions may be, men will be the big
factor.”
Major-General Wood said that “those
who are opposing President Wilson's
policy of universal obligatory, military
service will be responsible for thousands
°^rJ*ve8.^ *heir arguments prevail.
Ihe dinner was attended by Governors
W-. Keyes of New Hampshire,
and R. Livingstone Beechman, of Rhode
Island, by the mayors of many Massa
chusetts cities, leading officers of the
regular army and navy stationed in New
England, and by church dignitaries.

Keep off the Grass,
The above is the subject of an editor
ial in the Breeder’s Gazette in which the
editors advocate that such a sign would
prove a profitable precaution on many a
farm at this time of the year. Grasses,
like all other plants digest their food in
their leaves, which are their stomachs.
The larger the leaf or plant growth the
more plantfood can be digested. The
firBt growth of grass is over 95 percent
water and contains almost no nutrition.
Grass pastured too closely in the spring
is usually injured for the entire season.
“Feed is high, but it is not so high that
one can afford to ruin a good pasture by
turning stock on it too early. “Keep off
the grass’’ until it has time to grow,”
says the Breeder’s Gazette. Besides
giving the grass a chance to make a
start before turning o the stock, some
of the best stock men ire finding that it
pays to (opdress grass land with .manure
and fertilizers. If the stand of grass is
light it also pays to sow and harrow in
some extra grasB seed. —Melvin Ryder.
Enemies that Destroy Cabbage.
Cabbage is frequently attacked by des
tructive insects, but in most cases these
yield to prompt treatment.
Cabbage maggots are small white
worms which eat off the tender roots.
The young plant is dead before the far
mer realizes their presence. They do
most damage to early planted cabbage.
A tar paper disc set around each plant is
the most effective means of control.
For green cabbage,worms spray with
arsenate of lead or dust with Paris
Green whenever the same may be neces
sary up to the time of heading.
For cabbage lice spray with nicotine
(Black Leaf 40) and soap, using enough
Boap to make the tobacco stick.
Clubroot. This is sometimes called
“finger and toe disease.” Rotate with
other crops, using cabbage, turnips or
rutabagas notoftener than once in three
years. Use plants from clean seed beds.
Lime before planting. Do not use in
fected manure. Clubroot is worse on
old land and acid soils.—Henry G. Bell.
Food Riots and Fanning.
The above is the heading of an edi
torial in a leading farm paper. The edi
tor points out that food for man and
beast is of first importance, yet those
who live on farms where food is abund
ant can scarcely appreciate the pangs of
hunger that cause the recent riots. All
surplus food should be canned, evaporat
ed and stored for future use. While poor
distribution coupled with an under pro
duction was the cause of the present
condition, it should serve as a warning
this year. There should be a concen
trated effort to produce feed for men and
stock and build up the fertility of the
so 1 for better production in the future
so as to avoid food riots ip a land of
plenty.—J. W. Henceroth.
Fertilizers for the Home Garden.
The United States Department of Ag
riculture in a recent article “Timely
Hints for the Home Gardener” says that
most back yard garden soil is too heavy
for vegetables, but that it may be im
proved by the addition of coal ashes or
well-rotted manure. The latter is pre
ferred as it also adds plantfood to the
soil. Since most garden soils are sour it
should receive 1000 pounds of burnt or
1500 pounds of slaked lime to the acre.
A plot 50 by 100 feet is approximately
one-ninth of an acre. If well-rotted
manure is not available it is advisable to
use a complete commercial fertilizer.
Apply at the rate of 800 to 1,000 pounds
per acre a mixture containing 2 to 4 per
cent nitrogen and 8 per cent phosphoric
acid, and 1 to 2 per cent potash. A little
fertilizer used in addition to manure is
always good
Greens Better than Sulphur and Molasses.
Every one raised in the country in the
good old days well remember how they
took large doses of “The Old Reliable”
sulphur and molasses to overcome that
tired feeling each spring. The modern
housewife with her vegetable pit and
cellar filled with caobage, beets, and
turnips supplemented with springs greens
such as dandelions, and spinach has a
far better spring tonic than any “Old
Reliable” ever concocted by any drug
factory. Drugs and salts from “garden
Bass” are cheaper, more nourishing and
appetizing than those cooked in the best
drug store in the world.—J. W. Hence
roth.
war increasing Demand for canned Goods.
Most canning factories are entirely
sold out of all goods put up last year. In
fact, the supply was not equal to the de
mand. The war developed an unusual
demand for America’s canned goods both
at hdkne and abroad and laBt year’s crop
of tomatoes, beans, peas and corn was
very poor, resulting in a light pack in
most sections. Realizing the greater
demand there will be for canned goods
this year, the canning companies are pay
ing the growers better prices than ever
before. The growing of canner’s crops
under contract is very profitable when
labor is available.— J. W. Henceroth.
Farm Work is Behind.
Owing to the unusual late spring many
farmers are fully a month behind with
their work. This means crops will either
go in the ground late or be planted in
poorly prepared soil. Both of these are
undesirable, yet late planting can De
overcome by using fertilizers to give the
crops a quick start and hasten maturity.
The nitrogen or ammonia gives plants a
quick start even though planted late, and
the phosphoric acid and potash hastens
the maturity of the crop towards the
close of tbe growing season. In this wa
crops escape frost at both ends of the
season.
Getting Around the High Cost of Labor.
The New Jersey Agricultural Experi
ment Station suggests the heavier fertil
ization of staples which ordinarily get
little commercial fertilizer. It is true
that fertilizers have increased in price,
but not in proportion to the increases in
in the price of corn and wheat. An acre
of corn produces more food value than
any other farm crop. Tbe acreage of
this crop, therefore, should be as large
as possible. Plow early and deep, and
till thoroughly both before and after
planting. If the soil is sour apply lime
after plowing and harrow in well. The
use of more commercial fertiliser will in
volve little extra work and will pay
greatly increased returns in the larger
yields secured.
The New Jersey Btation recommends
at least 400 pounds of fertilizer high in
phosphoric acid and containing 2 1-2 to 3
percent of ammonia. It is advisable to
use 160 pounds of this in the row or hill.
The remainder, which may be somewhat
lower in nitrogen, should be applied
broadcast and harrowed in or put in with
a grain drill. The total application may
be increased to 600 pounds per acre
where no manure has been used. Pot
ash, at present costs, cannot be recom
mended for the corn crop.
Helping the Crowing Crops.
“Celery, lettuce, chard, corn, toma
toes, and a few other vegetables are of
ten benefitted by application of food dur
ing the growing season. Oftentimes a
side dressing of fertilizers or manures
is used to hasten the growth of the plants
and thus to obtain early maturity.
Sometimes during the development of
a crop of vegetables the gardener notices
that the plants are dwarfed, that the
color, instead of being dark green, is
light green, or that other indications of
checked growth are appare nt. At times
the difficulty may be traced to disease or
insects, at other times to poor soil prep
aration, lack of cultivation, and some
times to deficient food supply. In the
latter case it is possible to overcome the
difficulty by applying fertilizers or
manures as a side dressing.”—Albert E.
Wilkinson, New York State College of
Agriculture, at Cornell University, Veg
etable Gardening Series No. 4.
NEW BOOK BY MAKY ELLEN CHASE.
“Virginia of the Elk Creek Valley,”
by Mary Ellen Chase, a member of the
high school faculty, was published Easter
Saturday by the Page company of Boston.
The book is a sequel 10 “The Girl From
the Big Horn Country,” which was pub
lished a year ago and which is already in
its seventh printing. The new book will
be of interest to the people of Bozeman
and vicinity, since many of the scenes,
although nominally laid in Wyoming,are
in reality taken from West Gallatin can
yon and the surrounding mountain coun
try. Miss Chase spent the summer of
1915 at Karst’s Cold Springs camp, where
she collected material and planned the
story. Many of the characters and places
will be familiar to Bozeman readers.
- Page is advertising “Virginia of the Elk
Creek Valley” as a “book for the whole
family, as interesting to the older mem
bers as to the girl in her teens.” Two
editions are being issued at the first
printing.— Bozeman, Mont., paper.

EMPIRE
Mechanical Milker
One man, using only one double unit, can milk 20 to 30 cows per hour,
besides doing the stripping and carrying the inilk. Single Units, each of
which will milk 10 to 15 cows per hour, can be had if preferted. One man
can operate two or three single units.
Heifers and old cows both like the EMPIRE Milker and take to it
quickly. The frequent increase in milk flow proves that.
The illustration shows you the Double Unit Outfit in actual operation,
except for the small pump and tank which supply the vacuum. An\
suitable power will drive the pump.

some profit. Insures your cows always being milked regularly, quickly anc.
uniformly. It’s goodbye to hand milking and everybody glad' of it.
The EMPIRE Milker is a fine machine. Absolutely reliable. Successful
everywhere. Guaranteed by the Empire Cream Separator Company. See
for yourself how simple, sure and reliable it is. Will be glad to show it
I to you at your first opportunity. •
