they were out Of the trap. It was close
graze. As they disappeared in the fol-
;age of the morass shots from the oppo-
site bank were heard, and Col Rush
came down with his Iancers in full array
The game had escaped and Col. Rush
was forced to return without his prize.
When asked, on his way back, by lady,
if he had caught Stuart, his reply was,
the lady informed:
"No, madam. He has gone in at the
back door. only saw bis rear guard as
it passed the swamp"
Such IS q brief account OF the famous
ride around Mcclellan. But for walit. OF
space I might add number of incident
how federal prisoners, as they rolled
from their tumbling mules in mud hole
after mud hole Of the swamp, exclaimed:
GLOW many Chickcnhominies are
there in this internal country" how we
were feasted by the bospitable gentlemen
Of Charles City, and how Stuart, sparing
neither himself or horsefesh, rode all
night to reach Richmond and make his
report to the president that federal flank
was undefendel-a ride III which, look
ing back now, | ean see that I committed
an error in not accepting his invitation
TO accompany him.

MINNESOTA WHEAT.

ST.. PAUL, Mimi, August 6.-The
Pioneer Prees publishes q careful odi-
torial estimate of the probable wheat
yield, which is somewhat lower than
those previously made, returns from
threshers not justifying estimates made
il the field. The information previously
published has been furnished by intelli
gent observers through the central belt
| of counties and along the line OF the st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba railroad
to the extreme northwest. In the strong
soil of the timbered region in Hennepin,
Wright, Carver, Neeker, Mcleod, and
other counties, the same causes which
injured the corn in the southern counties
have operated to some extent in impari
ing the ample yield of. which the grow
ing grain gave promise month ago. \
close examination OF the heads in many
fields show them to have been touched
by blight or something to cause q partial
shrinkage of the berry, and that they are
not fully filed out to tho top. This,
however, is not generally true of this sec
ton, and, ms there is good stand and
growth of straw, it is believed there will
be nearly or quite an average yield of at
least No. 2 wheat in the prairie region.
West and north Of these timberad coun-
ties the growth is less rank and the fields
moro weedy, but the grain is plumper
and heavier, and the yield constantly
grows better as we so north. The new
counties in the northwest show q uniform
and superb product probably never sur-
passed, if ever equaled, in quality or
quantity, in any portion of the state
The official returns of last years crop
show the yield of tho light soils east of
the upper Mississippi to have been above
an average, and the reports indicate that
the same is true of the present product
III the region, so that the impaired yield
in the southern counties Will probably be
so far made good that the whole state
can hardly fall below 10000, 900 bushels.
This is based upon the supposition that,
in two-thirds of the wheat area, 1,900,-
600 acres, tho yield will be thirteen
bushels per acre, and in the rest, or 90O,-
O00 acres, the yield viii be seventeen
bushels.

RAISING WINTER WHEAT.

Winter wheat the last two years has
proved quite success. And a great
many are going to quit raising spring
wheat. instead Of it SOW fall wheat. Now
| do not want to run too much risk in
sowing fall wheat, but 1 have reason to
believe that if properly put in the ground,
with drill, which covers the grain all of
one depth, and if oats are sown before
drilling the wheat, for mulch, there
will not be one half the chance of failure
as if it be sown broadcast, and not pro-
iected during the winter, also all stock
should be kept off. i should like to hear
from those who have plan similar.
The best field of wheat that | saw was
sown on oat-stubble. The oats protect
ed the wheat through the winter and
spring from freezing out. am aware
that drills ere entirely used in the East,
and their best crops are from wheat sown
on oat stubble. Let US hear more about
fall wheat. d. G. O.

AGRICULTURAL.
SELECTED FROM TIE PRAIRIE FARMER,

MILKING.
The faster and more gentle a COW is
MIXED, the greater viii be the amount
given. Slow mixers always gradually
dry up COW, and for the reason that if
the milk be not drawn about as fast as it
IS given down it viii subsequently be
withheld, and that withheld, is as mat
ter of course what is known as the strip
pings, in fact, the upper surface of milk
in the udder. Many mixers draw the
milk with a strong downward pull, in
fact, with jerk. This should never be
allowed it irritates the COW, and often
Injuries the bag. Fill the teat and with
q firm pressure of the last three fingers
empty it, drawing slightly on the teat
and udder at the same time so proceed
alternately with each hand until the milk
supply is exhausted. Many mixers get
the habit Of slow milking because steady,
firm, quick milking tires the fingers and
wrists, until by practice the muscles get
used to the work. Until this use comes
naturally the individual should only milk
such number as they can without severe
cramping of the hands what are MIXED
should be MIXED fast, increasing the
number until at last there is no firing
whatever. Five minutes is about the
limit that should be allowed for milking
a COW. There is another thing well
worthy OF being remembered. Cows
should be milked as nearly at given
hour morning and evening as possible,
since undue distention Of the udder is
always injurious.

WEALTH OF THE ROTHSCHILDS

\ writer in a Paris journal claims to be
IN position to know that the present
capital of the different Rothschild houses
is at least S500,000,00O, and that they
can control as much more, which may be
considered a pretty penny. Stories OF
Rothschilds will always be told, as they
will about any and everybody though to
be enormously rich. After the interest
q man has in his own money, he seems
to be most interested i'll some other man s
money. Nathan Rothschild is reputed
to have said: cone great reason of our
success is that we know how to hold ouI
tongues" They are as reticent as the
grave touching their business. After
Baron Lionel had been dead week, q
London wag remarked: "The old Bar
on is Just as communicative as ever. y
The time has passed, if it ever was, when
kings had to consult the Rothschilds be-
fore they could go to war, but they are
still stupendous power, and likely to
be for generations. The recollection
that the founder of the house. Meyer
Anselm Che took the name of Rothschild
from the sign of red shield placed over
his small shop in FrankforD entered
Hanover in 17G3 barefoot, with a bundle
of rags on his back, is enough to prevent
any one from dispair. But it is net
every man who has the brain of Meyer
Anselm.

A dispatch from Green Lake says that
Gen. Bragg, of Fond du Lac, got a bite
from a pickerel, and for some minutes it
was nip and tuck as to whether Bragg
should catch the pickerel, or the pickerel
catch Bragg. Finally the pickerel let go
the hook, and the general went over
board. Then it was not settled, for they
didn't know but it was trick of the
piekerel to get Bragg into the water and
bite him. He got out, and they honest
ly say he made the people at the hotel
believe that it was perspiration on his
clothes. Well, it does make democrat

ing to give the general the benefit of the
perspiration theory.-Peck's Sun.
