RETURNED THE FLAGS
NEARLY 200 CAPTURED TROPHIES
SENT BACK TO THE SOUTH.

Gen. Ainsworth. the military secretary
by the Secretary of War, has completed
the shipment of the confederate flags cap
tured during the war of the rebellion to
the governors of the various states to
which the organizations which carried
them belonged. The total number of flags
returned was 1885, divided among the states
rs follows:
Alabama, IA; Arkansas, 5; Florida Z;
Georgia, "a; Kentucky, l; Louisiana. 8;
Mississippi. is; Missouri, 2; North Carolina,
81; South Carolina, IA; Tennessee, Z; Texas,
4, and Virginia, 63.
All these standards were forwarded by
express to the governors of the various
states for such disposition as they may
deem advisable under the circumstances.
They all bear distinctive marks sufficient to
establish their identification.
There are large number of other cap
tured confederate flags still in the posses
sion of the War Department, but as there
are no means of identifying them with any
particular organization or state, it has been
decided 10 retain them in the custody of
the department
The statute authorizing the restoration of
these flags also provided for the return of
all the Union flags recaptured from the
confederateS during the war, and which
have since been stored in the War Depart
ment. These flags are not in as good con-
dillon as the returned confederate flags.
Nearly all the latter flags were made of
bunting, while most of the Union flags were
made of silk with the names of their or
CARNATIONS painted on them. The texture
and the paint of the Union flags served
to cause their greater deterioration and
make their identification more difficult. 1t
is expected, however. that they will all be
ready for shipment to the states to which
they belong in a few days

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
General and Personal News From the
West End.

No clue has been found that will estab-
fish the identity of the robbers who looted
the jewelry house of Offutt & Tribbey on
NJ street between 31st and 32d streets, at
an early hour yesterday morning. The
thieves are believed to have been the same
ones who have been at work in other parts
Of Georgetown. The robbery of yesterday
morning appears to have been the most
daring Of all. M street is the principal
business thoroughfare of Georgetown, and
the jewelry house is in the heart of the
business section. The intruders entered by
smashing the large plate glass window in
the front of the store, and gathered up as
booty at least $500 worth of jewelry. Among
the valuables stolen were large diamond
brooch, several gold filled watches, and a
varied assortment of gold chains and
watch charms
Mr.. Trbbey states that the robbery was
effected about o'clock and that he was
not notified at his home on U street until
1880 o'clock. He hurriediy left the house
and went to the store to sum up his losses.
He states that the large piece of iron,
about the size of broomstick which the
robbers used in effecting an entrance. may
be of some use in tracing the Identity OF
the culprits. ~

\ well attended meeting was held
in Prof. G. \. Nuts room Saturday
evening for the purpose of organizing
fruit growers asso Citations. The prin-
cipal speakers of the evening were
State Fruit Inspector Won H0l der
becke and Mr.. Paulhamus. president
of the Fruit Growers Association of
Puyallup, Wash.
Mr.. Paulhamus explained clearly
and lucidlv the advantage Of organi-
cation and showed the success with
which the Puyallup association was
conducted. He has thoroughly inves-
tigated the shipping business and the
principal berry markets tributary to
Washington and knew the exact num-
Der CT crates that each principal city
would consume every day during the
berry season. He also gave the eXper-
fence of their association in packing
and shipping fruits, and detailed not
only the successes, but also their fail
ures; but showed conclusively
throughout his entire address that the
only way to make fruit growing & sue
cess was for the growers 10 organize.
The main thing after the fruit was
produced was to find profitable mar
ket for it. This could only be achieved
by organization.
At the close those present decided to
organize the Kennewiek Fruit Grow
ers Association with a capital stock
of five hundred shares of the par value
of one dollar per share, no men,
Der to hold more than fifteen
shares. Over 200 shares were sub
scribed in less than three minutes.

Pig Pen Pointers.

New methods are best understood
by giving them q practical test Sup
pose you begin now to make arrange
ments for giving the swine herd
good dipping next spring. Swine Dip
ping is getting to be n regular prac-
tice with up-to-date swine breeders.
In swine raising one thing that
should not be forgotten is the large
amount of manure that can be made
with the keeping of swine, provided
they are furnished with the necessary
material for the purpose. There
will keep the pigs comfortable. and
add largely to the amount of manure
made.
Every dairyman should keep one
or more brood sows according to the
size OF his dairy, and raise his own
pigs. He should get these from the
breed that promises to be the best for
his purpose Those should be Sc
lected that are gentle, prolific and
good mothers. After getting one OF
this kind she should be kept as long
as she continues to do we'll, as this
is much better than frequent changes.
Pigs may be grown on milk alone.
but it will be found better and more
profitable to feed some grains as this
will make Il better ration, and allows
more pigs to be kept In other words,
If there is milk enough for ten pigs.
keep fifteen and make 1T up with grain.
This would. in our estimation. and ex-
periencc be more profitable than feed
ing on milk alone. or course the mar
ket value Of the grain fed must be
taken into consideration when making
up the pigs ration.
Every farmer wants to make
money: he wants to make 1t at the
smallest outlay of money and labor.
If this promise is correct, the most
effective method for him to pursue is
to grow money on hoofs. Let him buy
a few choice pure bred brood sows Of
the breed which he likes best and
take good care of them. The first crop
of pigs will go far to pay the purchase
price. Whenever the herd attains the
numerical standard desired, which
should be determined by the size and
carrying capacity of the farm, the
surplus of stock can be marketed.
Prices will not ge fancy except for the
best but they should be remunerative
for all desired stock.
