were engaged in the first artillery duel
against a Filipino battery concealed in

but the Americans cut their way out
with heavy loss. The United States
turret ship Moradrock and the gunboats
Helena and Zafro trained their bat
teries on Bakoor and the rebel trenches
near Las Pinas all the morning. Bakoor

Rebels DO Some Accurate Shooting.

During the night an insurgent cannon
was fired three times at the Americans
on the outskirts of Las Pinas. General
Lawton this morning took a battalion of
the Fourteenth regiment and two COM
panies of the Twenty-first regiment to
locate the rebel battery, and then two
guns of the Sixth artillery and four
mountain guns were planted against it
at 600 yards distance. The rebels had
large gun from which they were firing
homemade canister. loaded with nails,
and two smaller guns. Their shooting was
most accurate. The first lot of canister
burst directly in front of Scott's guns
and another shattered the legs Of pri-
vate in the Fourteenth infantry. Sever
al shots struck the edge of the town.

FARM TOPICS 5
Topping Corn.


Old farmers can remember when it
was common practice to cut off the
tops Of corn two or three times before
harvesting it to let the sun in so as TO
ripen the ears better 1t was then
generally thought that the sun shin
ing on the stalk was a great help to
ripenine Now it is known that it is
the sunshine on the leaves that ena
bles them to draw carbon from the
air to furnish sweetness to the stalk
and starch to the grain. The stalk
next the ear, which used to be left
uncut until killed by the freezing is
now known to be the richest in nutri-
tlon, next to that is the stalk further
down, and poorest of all the stalk
above the tassel and the tassel itself.
This is only blossom, and the male
blossom at that. 1t has when dried
hardly any nutriment, and even when
green it has little saccharine matter.
