How Nebraska Regiments Charge.
Hdrper's Weekly.

1t was during the campaign along the
railway that the duty of charging the
enemy fell on Nebraska. They occupied
the extreme right of the line, and as the
enemy invariably moved off, before our
advance, from our front to our right, Ne
braSka had hard fighting every day, even
when the rest of Gen. MacArthur's Divis-
ion found little resistance. 1t came to
such a pass that the mere appearance of
Col. StotSenburg was the signal for a
charge.
When Col. Stotsenburg crossed the field
towards his men they rose from that ditch
with a shout. For hours they had lain
under the scorching sun, exposed more or
less to the enemy'S fire, without answering.
Many wounded had already been taken
lead them to victory, as he had always
done. Nebraska with wild cheer started
forward. They had gone some distance
before Gen. Hale realized what they were
doing.
Why" he exclaimed, they are not
coming back; they are going forward!
Stop themT
III try" said Maj. Nulford; "but when
they once get started they are hard to stop"
When the Major reached the Nebraska
line, however, 1t was so near the inSurgent
trenches that he realized the folly Of bring
ing it back over that open field, and instead
of delivering Gen. Hales order he joined in
the charge.
Col. Stotsenburg had to run to get up
with his regiment. When he reached them
the first enthusiasm of the charge had worn
off. He shook them into form, and the
little companies now went ahead by rusheS
alternate companies kneeling to fire

SELECTION OF FOOD.

As economy in food is one great item
in this business, il is n point to be well
considered. But the cheapest food is not
always the most economical. To buy
grain that has been wet, and run the
chances of its being musty, is unsafe, for
mUSty grain is sure to produce disease.
Rye is not a safe food; unhulled oats are
bad. New wheat and new corn are both
productive of bowel trouble. Screenings,
If dry, sweet, and of first quality, are to be
recommended; but what is known and sold
as screenings is usually full of cookie. rye,
and blasted grain, and is in no sense an
economical food. In truth, the best. safest
and most satisfactory food for all times
and seasons is good, sound, dry red wheat
and sound cracked corn. These should
not be mixed, but fed separately, say three
feeds of wheat and then a feed OF cracked
corn, making the change from one to the
other as far as possible in the morning,
when crops are empty. Wheat can be
bought i'll quantity when cheap and kept
in a dry place, but cracked corn should
only be bought or prepared in small guam
titles at time, as it absorbs moisture
quickly, and if kept in large quantities is
apt to mould and become musty and sour;
This food can be varied with occasional
feeds of buckwheat, miliet, and Canada
peas, if prices are not too high. Hemp

jected geographical survey of the United

Pacific Ocean; before his explorations
of Fremont Peak; before his discov-
cry of the Great Salt Lake; before
he explored Oregon and California;;
before he purchased the "Mariposa Es-

from California. 1t was also before his

Benton had not as yet had the opportunity
of supporting Mr.. Buchanan for the Presi-

But If You Have Kidney Bladder Trouble it VIII Be
Found Just lie Remedy You Need.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
diScourages and lessons ambition: beauty,
vigor and cheerfulneSS soon disappear
when the kidneys are out of order or dis
eaSed.
Kidney trouble has become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon for child to be
born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the
child urinates too often, if the urine scaids
the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an
age when it should be able to control the
passage, and it is yet afflicted with bed
wetting. depend upon it. the cGusC Of the
difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment OF
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due 10 a diseased condition OF
the kidneys and bladder and not 10 a habit,
as most people suppose.
50 we find that women as well as men
are made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble and both need the same remedy.

Root is soon realized. 1t is sold by drug

SQUAD RAISING.
An Industry Promising Large

One OF the most important factors in
breeding squads for market is the selection
of good stock. To throw promiscuous
lot OF birds together, without regard to
variety or color, is not the thing. While
they may all be mated pairs, and produce
squads. this is not ali that is truly desir-
able. What Is wanted is bird tnat will
produce large squad OF light color, one
that Is n good nurse and feeder. and one
so prolific that the hen will lay another
pair of eggs before the first pair OF young

light-colored squads bring at least % per
cent more in the market than dark-coored
ones, and large, fat squads are more at
