Recruiting Officers Here.

Sergeant Drake of Company +, accom-
panied by three other non-commssioned
officers from other companies arrived
last night and will recruit g men to
make Company Els complement COM
plete.
In conversation with HERALD re-
porter he gave very interesting account
of the experiences OF the Yakima boys
which on the whole have been very pleas
ant. Until recently they have been
Quartered in large warehouse building
but at present are very comfortably domi-
ciled at the Presidio.
Company +, together with the other
companies of the Washington regiment
have been taking some long marches and
on three separate days Travelled II, 10
and ~ miles respectively. This is fea-
ture that none of the other regiments
have adopted as yet.
On Decoration day, Captain Scudder
borrowed guns for his company and they
turned out on parade with arms for the
| first time since being mustered in. Not
withstanding the great amount OF drill
they had missed the boys surprised even
their friends by showing themselves well
up in the manual.
Lieutenant Lemon is post-quartermas'
ter, acting ordinance officer, and commits
sary of subsistence and is very busy
man. All three Of the officers have
proved themselves thoroughly efficient,
so much so that an offer to transfer all
old regulars among the volunteers to the
% 4 L. 5. Infantry with a surety of going
to Manila, failed to get Il single one to
to leave Company +.
Sergeant Drake has headquarters in
the old RDsenield building, and tonight
Captain Elrich the mastering officer will
be here and tomorrow, Friday, recruits
will be sworn in.

FEEDING TIE GRASS FIELDS.

Comparatively few Of the best farm
ers turn cattle on their grass fields In the
autumn. Where the second crop grass
Is 90 rank and thick as to need to be re-
moved, IL 10 moved and taken TO the
barn to be fed. Experience has proved
over and again that as rule this is the
better way. The tramping OF the cattle
and the close and continued gnswing at
the crowns Of the clover and grass
plants reduce the crops that follow
more than IL gained from the feeding.
The cost Of cutting and taking this sec
ond crop to the barn IL now 90 triding,
with the mower and the rake, that this
item puts different phase on the prac-
tice from what Was the case In the days
Of hard work.
Another advantage from the course
recommended Ia, that al the former
necessity for enclosing the fields with
fences IL removed. This IL no small
item. Under this practice all the fenc-
ing required on the farm ID for the en-
closure Of the territory devoted TO pas
turage. This one item along IL enough

Nautical Ingenuity.

A striking instance Of nautical in
genuity and fraternity is furnished by
a writer in the London Telegraph:
A sailor from her majesty's ship
Ganges arrived in one Of the side streets
Of Walworth. in search Of a shipmate
passing half holiday with his parents,
who had recently moved to that neigh
borhood
He had lost the address his friend had
given him and proceeded to ask police
men, postmen and shopkeepers If they
knew where q sailor boy from her ma
jesty's fleet lived. None of them could
give the desired information. and the
dwellers in private houses, whom he
summoned by knocks at the door, were
equally devoid Of knowledge on the
subject
The gallant tar was somewhat nom
plused, but at length he met vender
Of paper decorations for Christians
These hawkers always carry long tin
trumpet through which they announce
their wares to the public. The sailor
gave the man a penny for the use OF the
instrument for one minute and then
sounded with all his force the Ganges
dinner call, adding. IF that doesn Z
bring out Joseph, then he amt in this
locality, that's all. "
Sure enough, in less than half min.
ute window was raised so yards far
ther down the street, a nautical looking
head appeared at the aperture, and from
strong, healthy lungs came the cheering
response: "Ship ahoy! Full speed, and
here you are! Why, the grog's been
saitin for you this half hour "

DEVELOPMENT OF WINTER CARRYING.

Winter dairying, years ago, Was an
undertaking little thought Of 10 this
state. Raising cattle for beet and oxen
was more common than making butter,
and at that date was moro Of . paying
investment, but as the country develop
ed and the population increased, butter
making advanced. A COW that gave
milk seven months had done her duty,
and IL Was not very rich milk at that. 10
the sixties milk Was worth ct times % to
a 50 per 100 lbs. Butter vas made from
setting the milk In small tin pans, fol-
lowed later by deep cans. About 1878
the cream separator WAS introduced and

A HUSTLE AFTER STOCK.

AZ anticipated by the Farmer weeks
ago there is great activity In stock cir
cles. Spectators are scurrying In every
direction gathering In every loose AMI
NAL offered for sale, while farmers are
active In purchasing stock with
which to Oil up their barns for winter
feeding. To the surprise Of many not
well posted 10 the stock situation there
are large plumbers Of cattle Of the differ
ent kinds for sale. Correspondents OF
the Farmer last spring raised an alarm
over claimed reduction In the numbers
OF cattle 10 the state. This Il true only
Of oxen and steers. Large numbers Of
calves are being raised each year. There
are lots Of young cattle coming up TO oil
the places Of older and more valuable
animals offered for sale. The situation
l, well shown BY farmer just inter-
viewed. He offers six COWS for sale for
the reason that he has not room TO
house them through the winter. 81
raise half dozen calves each season, "
said he, land these cows represent my
surplus. I know Of no better way TO
manage TO get money out OF my stock
than TO grow up young stock and sell
msture animals"
This case represents the situation with
thousand Of farmers. At this housing
time there are lots Of barns more than
full Of stock. Hence notwithstanding
barns are overfull OF hay and other fod-
ders there Il still good deal OF stock
more especially cows, that must be sold
before winter sets in.
At the same time, and on the other
hand, there are many farmers who are
10 want Of more stock to feed in order
to empty the barns for the hay crop
another year. The demand for steers to
al this want is especially sharp. In
many cases extreme prices are being
paid. In this direction it will be well
for would-be buyers to bear In mind
there Il no outlook prospectively ahead
that warrants extreme prices for stock
OF this class. While there Ii every pros
pect that beef has risen up permanently
out Of the low values OF . few years ago,
vet the sources Of supply Of cattle are
such that no BONANZA price may be
looked for, for time 90 far ahead that
present purchases will have TO be dis
posed Of without benefit from any ex-
treme advance. Extrsvagant prices
therefore are not warranted even with
stock as desirable as good steers.-New

Fire and Water.

Water will extinguish q fire because
the water forms coating over the fuel,
which keeps it from the air, snd the
conversion of water into steam draws
of the heat from the burning fuel. A
little water makes fire tieicer. while
large quantity Of water puts it out.
The explanation is that wafer is COM
posed of oxygen and hydrogen When
therefore the fire can decompose the
water into its simple elements, it serves

result was fracture Of one Of the top

Of the damage is evidence Of man q
