THE ENCAMPMENT OVER.


Camp "Phil Sheridan" Deserted by the X.
| N. G.
CAMP PHIL, SHERIDAN, September 25.-
To-day the second annual encampment of
the Kansas National guards closed. The
First, Second and Third regiments left
Friday night after the sham battle, the
Fourth remaining in camp until to-day,
when they broke up. The encampment has
been a very satisfactory one indeed. The
provisions furnished were much better than
last year. The commissary tent was
amply large for the stores, and 90 we'll did
the officer in charge attend to the issuing of
supplies, that not word of dissatisfaction
was heard. The last two days of the en-
campment were lively ones. On Thursday
morning at sunrise the guns aWoke the boys
to "fau in for roll call'' and q hard days
work.
Att O'Clock all the companies had called
the roll and reported. At 7:30 one could zee
the drill grounds dotted here and there with
sounded for assembly, which meant an in
spection of equipment and guns By Colonel
Compton, commanding Fort Riley. The
regiments were all inspected in their order.
Colonel Compton compGm snted tho TO
spective colonies of each regiment upon
their fine appearance, the third regiment
especially. Colonel Compton impressed
pany the necessity of keeping their equip
ment in perfect order, especially their guns,
he stating that the guns we're of the finest
quality and make, and that, for that reason,
great care should be exercised in handling
them.
After each regiment was dismissed from
inspection, the companies intending to en-
ter the competitive prize drill, were taken to
the drill grounds and were met by three
officers detailed from the fort as judges.
The result Of the drill was that the 4rst
prize was awarded to company A of Topeka.
When the company appeared on the
ground there was . general rush for =
chance to see one Of the doubtful companies

Davenport Democrat.
The telegraph has informed the Rad

now there comes story Of the peril and
heroism Of lady who was born and
reared in Davenport that will deeply in

This lady was formerly Miss Mary
Porter, daughter Of Mrs. DR.. Porter, Of
Davenport. She went from that city to
China as missionary in 1861; she re-
turned home for rest in 1876, and went
back to China in 1877. She was in Pekin

The Devon for Rough Land.

The Devon for Rough Land.
Farm, Field, und Stockman.
The Devon is not considered the best
breed for beef, milk or butter, yet it COM
bines all those qualities to certain ex-
tent, and considering its hardness,
activity and ability to exist on scanty
pasture, it is really one of the most de-
sirable of our breeds. As work oxen the
Devon are superior to all other cattle,
being rapid walkers, strong and endur-
ing. If we we're asked to recommend
some special breeds for crossing natives
that are accustomed to picking up their
food in the woods, or on abandoned
fields, with steep hillsides to climb, we
do not think any breed could compare
with the Devons for that purpose. We
admit that the beef breeds will increase
the weight CT the carcasses, and that the
butter and milk breeds will cause larger
yields, but the conditions must be
changed to conform to the object desired,
and therefore the pastures and grazing
must be better. We are not favorable
to the recommendation Of any breed that
does not induce the farmer to adopt bet
ter methods as well as better stock, but
there are those who think it economical
to turn their COWS on the woods and
bare places, and who will not improve
with any class Of stock that can not exist
under such circumstances. The Devon
is the best for this purpose, and though
we place the Devon in such q position,
yet it is not because it can not be made
useful in other respects. It is really an
excellent breed: is large, makes good
beef, gives rich milk, and more than the
average quantity, and, like other classes
Of stock, does best on good pastures and
kind treatment, being one Of he most
useful breeds known.

however, be practiced by the state authori-
