WHEATON CAPTURES A TOWN
And Is Moving on Another-EIendIsh
Work Of the TaRals.

Manila, June 20.-General Wheaton
pursued the Filipinos until within
sight of Peres des Marinas, and as
darkness was at hand the attack on
the town was postponed until this
morning. Everything indicated that
the Tagals would make a stubborn
fight before giving up the town.
Early this morning Wheaton ordered
an advance on the place. The in
surgents made spirited resistance
but when the Americans prepared to
charge them they Immediately with
drew, leaving the Americans in
possession. After occupying the
town General Wheaton made an ex-
animation of the sanitary conditions
of the place and concluded the con-
ditions were such as to make it un-
safe for our troops to remain there,
and consequently the town will not
be garrisoned. The place is filthy in
in the last degree.
The forces under Wheaton will
push on Buena Vista which is sup
posed to be the site of rebel powder
mill. The Tagals mutilated the
American dead yesterday. The
bodies of two soldiers of the Fourth
infantry who fell while the small re-
connoitering squad was so calamity
holding in check the insurgents,
were left behind by their comrades.
Today the bodies were found with
ears cut off, throats cut and slashed
across the face.

Washington, June 2O-This tele-
gram was received from Otis today:
Wheaton is at linus, CaYite prov
ince, with four guns, four battalions
of the Fourth and Fourteenth infan-
try, and Nevada cavalry. He sent a
battalion south on a reconnaissance
in the direction of Das Marlnas yes
terday, where the enemy il reported
concentrating his scattered forces.
The battalion encountered the
enemy's forces marching to linus
and was successful in impending its
progress. Wheaton, with two guns
and two battalions hurried forward
and repulsed the enemy with severe
loss, the enemy leaving over a hun
dred dead on the field. Our loss was
five killed and twenty-five wounded.
Wheaton was reinforced last night
by battalion of the Ninth infantry
and is driving the enemy beyond
Das Marinas, which is now in his
possession. The casualties today are
not reported. Wheaton's qualities

Manila, June 20. The next en-
gagement with the insurgents is ex-
pected at Busna Vista, few miles
west of Perez Das Marinas, but sep
arated from that tplace by three small
rivers, which must be crossed by the
Americans in the face of great diff
culties. The insurgents, if driven
out of Buena Vista, might make their
way back to linus, a contingency
which it seems desirous to avoid.

poultry farms, probably, the White
Leghorn or Barred Plymouth Rock
will be found four times out of five,
which would certainly indicate that
the choice lay between these two; but
it makes much less difference what
the breed is than it does what
care they receive. If they are crowd
ed into too small pens they will be
Improbable, whatever the breed. If
their condition in regard to lice is ne
elected there will be a loss every time.
We hear of men undertaking to keep
poultry on large scale, and soon dis
carding it as Improbable, more fire.
quently than in almost anything else
undertaken, and in nine cases out of
ten they are driven out of the business
by lice. Lice are the most serious
drawback to the poultry business, but
they can be kept in check, and the
poultry kept in healthy condition,
but it requires more care and vigilance
than the majority of people are will
ing to give.-Maine Farmer.

To Fruit Growers:

The recent freeze has demonstrated
that it is unwise to plant new orange
or other citrus groves in certain coun-
ties of this State. 1t has also shown
conclusively that the orange, lemon,
lime and grape fruit trees growing in
lower Brevard and Dade counties
withstood the cold successfully, Meth
err leaf, branch, bloom or fruit being
injured, -thus proving the safety of
these localities for citrus fruits.
All parties desiring to engage in or
ange growing on the lower East Coast,
and wishing to learn what special in
ducements are offered to those who
desire to remove to that section of the
State, are invited to correspond with
the Land Commissioner of the Florida
East Coast Railway, st. Augustine,
Florida.

What Variety of Hens Shall We
Keep?

This is a question so frequently
asked but never answered. No one
breed will meet all the requirements.
If eggs are what is principally desired,
the great majority of poultrymen will
name the White Leghorn. There may
be some other breeds that will pro-
duce a few more eggs, but other con-
siderations will probably turn the
choice to the Leghorn nearly every
time. The Hamburg may lay a few
more eggs, but they are smaller, and
consequently of less value per dozen.
The Black Minorca is an excellent
layer, but of very little account when
wanted for the table-wOrth much
less than the Leghorn, and this always
has to be taken into account, as a good
many have to go to market, whether
they are kept principally for eggs or
not. The Barred Plymouth Rock is a
very popular all-purpose fowl. On all

Profitable Pullets.

The following interesting facts are
given in a bulletin issued by the Agri-
cultural College at Logan, Utah, as
comparison between old hens and pull
lets for egg production. The profit
from the young hens Or pullets is
about five times greater than that of
the old hens. Not only did the old
hens lay considerably fewer eggs, but
the eggs were worth less per dozen.
Those of the old hens averaged less
than a cent apiece, while those from
the puifets, with the exception of pen
2, averaged more than cent apiece.
This is accounted for by the fact that
the pullets laid a large proportion of
their eggs in early winter, when the
price was good. The old hens were
three to four years old. In the expert
ment there were no 2-year-olds.
The effect of exercise on food con-
sumption is also illustrated. The three
pens having no exercise averaged 100
eggs, while those from the exercised
pens averaged 146 eggs. The average
food cost per dozen of eggs was for
the nOn-eXercised pens 6.5 cents and
5.3 cents for the exercised pens, over
% per cent in favor of exercise. The
fact, when studied in connection with
the other fact that there was no ap-
preciable difference in the relative
weights of the fowls during the year,
would seem to Indicate that exercise
such as was given is an aid to diges-
ton, or, in other words, the exercised
hen made better use of the food. 1t
took % per cent more food to make a
dozen of eggs without the exercise
than with tin other words, % per
cent of the food wasted by the uneX-
ercised hen. 1t was not used in the
growth of flesh, for the weights show
that the exercised hen was as heavy
as the nOn-eXercised. 1t seems to be a
mere question of digestion. The eX-
ercise aids digestion and assimilation
and prevents waste of food. 1t is also
worthy of note that fowls without ex-
