Ct-A»»K.- - ASHINGTON. -- Daring Jh« first four days of July the battlefield of Gettysburg, Pa-, will again be the scene of a meeting of the Blue and the Gray, but thin time they will meet in iulnity and affection. A half-century; will have passed since last these* men of two peat American armies met on this northern field. Then they were face to race la deadly conflict, for tho issue, it wne well understood to botb 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 j$e first shot was toed at Fort Sum­ ter. £ The United States government and e government of nearly every state the Union have combined to make the Gettysburg reunion of the Boldiers Of the north and south one of the great jpeace events of the century. The Etate Pennsylvania some time ago ap­ pointed a "Fiftieth Anniversary of tke Battle of Gettysburg commission" to Slake preparations for the four days' reunion, at which Pennsylvania as a ttate was to act as host to the vet­ erans of the war between the states fUd to the thousands of visitors who would follow their march' to tlie field Of battle, and appropriated $150,000 for th* purpoeo of entertaining tfckavat- 4r*as. , ̂ " 40y000 VeteranaExpected. 'i It is expected that 40,000 veterans 4t the war, not all of them, however, (Unrivors of the Gettysburg battle, will be found encamped - upon the field *hen reveille sounde on the morning +f July 1. It will be a different re­ veille than that which the fife and 4rum corps of the two great armies •bunded fifty years ago. The call to ^wakening will be a call to a peaceful celebration while'the call to the awak­ ening in July, 1863, was a call of armies to conflict and, to thousands of pen, a call to death. -! For years the veterans have been poking forward to this reunion. It is probable that there will be present ipany thousands of survivors of the little. The United States government tBnder an act of congress has appro­ priated money for the preparation of tlie camps and for the messing of the •Dldier visitors. The average age of t$Le men engaged In the Civil war was tmly eighteen years, but fifty years • have passed since these soldier boys fought at Gettysburg, and so if the computation of age was a true one the Average years of the veterans who will j|eet in Pennsylvania in July will be *i>out sixty-eight years. Many of them, of course, will be much older and a good njany of them, men who entered at ages ranging from fourteen to sev­ enteen years, will be younger, but all j^lll be old men as the world views •' , Many of the states of the Union, north as well as south, have made ap­ propriations to send their veterans to, tlie 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 of the decisive battles of the world. Gener­ ally it )s recognized that Gettysburg decided the great conflict, helped in die decision probably by the fall of Ticks burg on the Mississippi, which took place virtually at the moment tftiat the oonflict on the Pennsylvania jfteld was decided In tavor of the- north­ ern arms. The preparations which the govern­ ment is making to care for the reter- Mis at Gettysburg are interesting. They have been under the charge of Jlunes B. Aleshire, quartermaster gen­ eral of the United States army, and Henry G. 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 Kfeen carefully laid to see that perfect .sanitation was maintained. The Unit- id States army was taught a lesson % the Spanish war, when lack of proper sanitary precautions and unpre- Ua redness in other ways cost the gov- #-nment the lives of more men than sacrificed to the bullets of the paniard. The estimates of the commissary d quartermaster authorities are ed upon an attendance Qf 40,000 vet- s. It probably will cost the gov- ment about $360,000 to act in part «£ host to the survivors of the battle ?id other veteran* who attend the ettysburg reunion. s ' Big Task to Feed Men. '!, •> v :i The survivors of the war from the '•"'^iorth and south who will be present, Hetng old men, must be cared for in i| way which would not have been neo- * jjggary fifty years ago. The messing of the veterans will require 400 army daagee, 1 great field bakery, 40,000 ess kits, 800 cooks. 800 kitchen help- and 130 bakere. This helping per- i«onnel will be required to be in camp fjbr at least seven days, and many of i• them Iter a longer period, for the pur­ pose of installing the field bakery, the |(eld ranges and in dismantling, clean­ ing, packing and storing material after encampment is over.

Fifty years ago Pennsylvania aided in £he work of repelling the visitors frorf-. the south. In early July next the saif, i 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 Bcenes where they fought. Little Round Top, Oak Ridge, Cemetery Hill, Culp'e Hill. Rock Creek, the Stone Wall and other places wiii hold them largely to the pleasures and to the sadnesses of per­ sonal reminiscences. Arm in arm with the Union soldiers the Confederate sol­ diers will retramp the battleground. They will look over the field of Pick­ ett's desperate charge. They will re­ trace the marching steps of Long- street's corps. They will go to the place where Meade had his headquar­ ters and to the place from which. Lee directed his southern forces in battle. Pennsylvania is going to make a great celebration of peace 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 Ufa tlie field upon which they were willing to die for the sake of their re­ spective causes, The veterans will not be directly en­ camped in the Gettysburg park, which Is dotted with monuments to the vari­ ous commands which took part So the fight and which is laid out in approved park fashion, with fine drives and beautifully kept lawns. There Tvill be two camps, known as No. 1 and No, 2. No. 1 will cover 149 acres and No. 2 will cover 44 acres. x The layouts of these camps are based on the use of conical tents, each of which will, with­ 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 Be 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 officers of the service. All the experience of the past has been drawn upon to make it certain that the health of the veterans will be conserved vhile they are in camp. With so many thousands of old sol­ diers in attendance, apd 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 be 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 tick can receive instant attendance. It la eald 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 day that the 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. The 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 goeB to the field he can tell just where this brigade or that bri­ gade was engaged. Just where this charge or that charge waB made and just where the desperate defenses of positions were maintained until the tide of battle brought either victory or defeat to one of the immediate con)- mands engaged. It was in 1896 that congress estab­ lished a national park at Gettysburg and gave the secretary 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 battle of troops engaged, to acquire lands which were occupied by infantry, cavalry and artillery, and such other adjacent lands as the secretary of war may deem necessary tp 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 spots. There are great towers built upon the field by the gov­ ernment so that bird's-eye views can£ be obtained of the entire scene of thei battle. Fine roads have been con­ structed and everywhere attention has been paid to every detatl 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 la thought that this great coming together in peace of two once conflicting hoejts will mark the passing of the last trace of the bitter neas of the war between (he states of this great Union.';: - PRESENT CONDITIONS AS REGARDS HORSE BREEDING IN THIS STATE •.'J ;£: si. •" -Tit • t Impatience.

By WAYNE DCNSMORE, Secretary of th* Pereheron Society of America. (Abstract of an address before the stu­ dents of the College of Agriculture, University of Illinois.) All classes of horses fere being pro­ duced within the state, but horses of draft blood and type predominate over all other classes. Buyers from all parts of the United States are unani­ mous in declaring that they can pur­ chase mere good draft horses in Iowa and Illinois than in any other states in the Union. The figures given by the Illinois stal­ lion board in their last annual report, published in Bulletin No. 3, November I, 1912, also indicate that horses of draft breeding predominate, for out of 5,688 pure-bred stallions standing in the state, in 1912, 4,028 were horses of the draft breeds. Horses of trotting type are next and most numerous, and saddle horses and coach horses are also represent­ ed, although the number of these bred in the state is relatively small. It must be frankly admitted, how­ ever, that a very large proportion of those horses which are of draft breed­ ing are so lacking in size, that they cannot possibly be classed as draft horses. These are called on the mar­ ket unclassified horses, and a very large proportion of the horses in Il­ linois must fall in-this category. We find, however, in our survey of horse breeding conditions, as they now stand in this state, that horses exceed in value all other classes of live stock combined by more than 40 per cent.; that the state is outrank­ ed by but one In the Union in total number and valuation of horses; that in 6pite of this, horses are being produced on but one-third of the farms in the state, and that all of the mar­ ket classes of horses are being pro­ duced. Draft horses of draft breed- ing predominate, but the number of unclassified horses is so great that they probably constitute, one-half or more than one-half of the horses not within the limits of the Btate.

Breeding varieties of apples with the hope of obtaining in the progeny the desirable qualities of the parents is an undertaking, the results of which are very uncertain. Two reports on the fruiting of cross* bred apples have recently appeared, In December, 1911, Professor Macoun presented before the American Breed­ ers' association an account of the re­ sults at Ottawa, and in June of last year Professor Hedrick reported re­ sults at Geneva in Bulletin 350. The chief aim of the earlier work at , the Canadian station was to produce trees of extreme hardness. To this end Malus baccata of proved parent, and pollen of the best orchard varieties of Malus malus was used. The hybrid progeny exhibited a strong tendency to retain the crab characteristics of the mother, and fed fruits of desir­ able ««ise. However, 17 out of 800 seedlings were considered worth nam­ ing. These named hybrids were again crossed with standard varieties in the hope of increasing the size of the fruits, but while a large number of progeny have fruited, the fruit re­ mains small, except in a very few cases. In 1899 another series of crosses between the best orchard vari­ eties was started. Seedlings from these crosses are Just beginning to fruit, and the results thus far are en­ couraging. A further line of work at Ottawa is the growing of seed­ lings of various desirable varieties. ThiB was commenced in 1898. About 2,000 seedlings have Men planted, and TIPS FQR "HjlE DAIRYMMJ For good cream, good butter, mor^' money and greater satisfaction the ^following points should be carefully observed: 1.

Never run the cream directly from separator Into can containing cream from previous skimming. 8. Never mix warm and cold cream. f. stir the cream occasionally while cooling. 10. Keep the cream sweet in hot weather by changing the water often. . ,«*•*. -.-n. jpllto ifepiif e.:. £l*M» diana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas. These six' states are like­ wise the leading Pereheron states, contributing more thah 72 per cent, of the Percherocs bred in America. < Illinois ranks first in the produo* tlon of Percherons. The 1910 census gives the state second place In num­ ber and value of horses. The total number for the state is 1,452,887 head. The total value is $163,363,400. Ten thousand seven hundred and fifty-eight American-bred Percherons were recorded between August 1, 1910, and May 1, 1912. Two thousand BOV- en hundred and eighty-six of these, or 25.8 per cent., were bred in Illinois. Pereheron breeding ts best carried on la 80 out of the 102 counties. McLean, La Salle, Livingston, Iro­ quois', Tazewell and Will, are the first six counties. They rank in the or­ der named, and contributed 45 per cent, of the total for the state. They constitute a single solid group, in which breeding of good draft horses has been persistently followed tor more than 40 years. From these counties, the breeding of good Per­ cherons has gradually spread. The northern half of the state has made more rapid progress than the south­ ern, authough some of the southern counties, notably Greene and Sanga­ mon, have made remarkable progress in the breeding of Percherons in the past six years. The popularity of Pereheron* in Illinois is Indicated by the fact that out of the 3,649 draft bred stallionsbu standing for service In 1911, 2.421, or 66 per cent., were Peroherons. These figures were supplied by Sec­ retary Dickinson of the Illinois state stallion board. Comparison of the total number of horses, with the total number of pure­ bred draft stallions, reveals the fact that there 1b but one pure-bred draft stallion per 398 horses. Experienced horsemen know that this is not half as many as is needed, to permit every farmer to have access to a good sire. The need for additional pure-bred horses of the right kind is manifest. The opportunity is before Illinois Pereheron breeders. approximately one-half fruited. Over 200 of these seedlings are regarded as worthy of further trial, and about 60 have been given names. At the Geneva station 148 trees were grown from crosses made in 1898 and 1899. These seedlings began fruiting in 1908, and at the close of 1911 fruit had been described from 106 varieties. Of these, 14 were thought worthy of namep and the general result was re­ garded as encouraging. Apple-breed­ ing at the Illinois station was com­ menced in 1908. From the hand-pol­ linations made in 1908-1909 and 1911 there have been grown about 1,650 seedling trees, and over 3,000 seed* ^rom the crosses of 1912 are to be planted this spring. Besides the seedlings resulting from crosses there are growing In orchard and nursery about 1,500 young trees which were propagated from selected budB, and nearly 6,000 seedlings grown from seeds from selected fruits from espe­ cially desirable trees. Further work in crossing is sched­ uled for this spring, but no additional work on the two other lines will be attempted at present, for the reason that the land area at present available is wholly insufficient to properly fao- commodate the trees now in the nurs­ ery, and for the additional reason that the labor Involved in maintain­ ing proper record of the behavior of the trees now growing, approaches the limit of what is possible to do with­ out unduly increasing the department force. A considerable number of scions from crossed seedlings have been grafted upon dwarf stocks In order to accelerate fruiting and hasten re­ sults. These trees should give fruit in 1914, but It will be several years before final results of the work in progress can be recorded. well lighted and well ventilated and use It for no other purpose except milk and cream. 12. Do not keep cream in rusty milk cans, setters or buckets; the cream will not keep so well and the rusty utensils may produce a very ob­ jectionable metallic flavor. 13.
