An Exciting Experience.
The Washington regiment had an
exciting experience and displayed
much gallantry. The soldiers found
a band of insurgents concealed in
stone house over which the French
flag was flying. A private volunteered
to set fire to the building. He did so,
and the troops approached while it
was burning, and the Filipinos had ap
parently fed. But they were greeted
with sudden volley from the bal
cony of the house, resulting in the
building being cleared of the enemy
in short order.

colors. When in the emergency of ac-
ton an officer seized the flag, he passed
beyond the line OF duty and often
times earned a medal of honor thereby.

"Boys, I'll carry your flag If you'll
defend it!'

shot off. The soldiers, not seeing the
colors, were somewhat puzzled, but
Gen. Grover came up, and. selling the
staff, cried: Men of the Eleventh, this
way! The colors are gone, but we can

agent at Keshena, has been at Oneida
paying the Government annuity to the

years ago the total number-o of Indians on
the reservation, entitled to an annuity,
was 1885; six years ago, about 1880, and
now there are exactly 1000. This in

it sometimes seems IN the garden as
though cutworm seed must have been

Fattening sheen,

Results of trials at the Wisconsin
station declare corn to be the most
profitable grain for fattening sheep,
but it was found also that the other
grain must be fed with it to maintain
the appetites of the sheep and to keep
them healthy. The most successful
practice was to start the fattening with
oats or bran, then introduce as much
corn as possible, and finish the fatten-
ing process with a mixture of one part
oats, one part linseed meal and three
parts corn, by weight.
