washington at Princeton.

Our greatest national hero is nearly
always pictured for us in some posed po-
sition, sitting for his portrait, as it were,
to some one of the great artists of the
time. Yet he was a man os action, and
as strenuous in his way as some of his
successors in the presidential chair. His
bravery and activity at the. battle of
Princeton has furnished the theme Of
some fine pictures.
In the battle of Trenton, Washington,
long on the defensive, changed his policy
and attacked without the slightest warn
ing. He had only G,000 men, against
$4,000. He planned an attack with five
divisions, those of Gates, Ewing, Griffen
and his own, cooperating with that of
Putnam from Philadelphia. He threw his
own 2,4OO men across the Delaware by
night, marched them nine miles through
a binding snow storm and attacked at
dawn. Only Griffen's division gave him
any help, but so we'll had the plan been
laid and executed that his victory was
complete, and he went back across the
river with 1000 prisoners.
To punish this audacity CORVALLIS
was sent out from New York with 1000
men. Stationing three regiments at
Princeton, he advanced on Washington's
position. the American army being post
ed in line of battle across Assunpink
river. Arriving before them at night
fall, CORVALLIS deferred the attack till
morning, and this was enough for Wash
ington, who was remarkable in that he
instantly detected and always took advan-
tage of an enemy's mistake.
biS mn 6rnS h.
ing and heaped with fuel, Washington
marched to Princeton by a circuitous
route and, as at Trenton, attacked ct
dawn, winning one of the most signal
and decisive victories of the war. The

Startling Trade Ffgures.

The final trade statistics for the year
1905 confirm the figures Of the prelimi-
nary forecasts and show a phenomenal
degree of prosperity throughout the coun-
try. SO enormous was the product of
farm, mine and factory that, had it been
moved at one time, it would have filed
80, 1S4, S57 freight cars, 100000 more
than would have been required in the
prosperous year of 1904. Thirty-three
million freight cars, if made up into one
train of fabulous length, would extend for
a distance of 224, 400 miles, or would
girdle the earth about nine times at the
equator. If this mythical train. with the
$4,000 locomotives which would be re-
quired to haul it, had Travelled out into
space on a trip to the moon, the leading
mOguls would have been putting through
the valleys of the earth's satellite before
the conductors buggy had rumbled out
of the freight yards at the starting point.
Merely to store the cars and engines in
such a train would require the use of
nearly all the railway mileage in the
United States.

GEORGE WASHINGTON LETTER.

Said to Have Been Written by First
President About an Artist.
George Fields of 494 Bergeuline ave-
nue., West New York. n. j., has letter
purporting to have been written by
George Washington to Franz Hopkinson.
Fields says be found it among the effects
of Helen Mary Taylor Vessel a grand
aunt. who died many years ago at the
age of 81. He doesn't know where she
got it.
The letter is as follows:
Dear Sir-'In for a penny, in for
pound is an old adage. 1 am so hack
neyed to the touches of the painters
pencil that l am not altogether at their
beck and sit like patience on a monument
while they are determining the lines of
my face.
1T is proof among many others of
what habit and custom can effect. At first
l was impatient at the request and FESTIVE
under the operation as colt is of the
saddle. The next time l submitted very
reluctantly, but with legs founcing I
have yielded a ready obedience to your
request and to the view of Mr.. Pine.
Letters from England, recommended
tory of this gentleman, came to my hand
previous to his arrivsl in America, not
only as an artist of acknowledged emf
hence, but as one who had discovered
friendly disposition toward this country,
for which it seems he had been marked.
1T gave me pleasure to hear from
you. l shall always feel an interest in
your happiness, and with Mrs Washing
tons compliments and best wishes Joined
to my own for Mrs. Hopknson and YOUR
SELF l am, dear sir, your most obedient
and humble servant,

HEINZE LETS GO.
Transfer of Copper Mines Made to
Amalgamated Com nanx

AmaIgamated Company.
The seven years war of the copper
magnates in Montana, which has filed
the courts with lawsuits in which $780,
100000 was involved, and which has been
one of the greatest financial struggles on
record, came TO an end Tuesday. The
treaty of peace between f. Augustus
Heinze, the spectacular, and Amalgamat-
ed was the direct result of the deals
which have resulted in the formation of a
giant copper and lead trust.
The first public act in this connection
was the filing at Butte. Mont, of papers
by which all the mining ground held by
Heinze, or the United Copper Company.
the ownership of which is in dispute. was
transferred to Thomas f. Cole as trustee.
The transfer also includes the smelter of
the Montana Ore Purchasing Company, a
Helnze corporation
As to terms the United Copper Com
pany receives $4,000, 900, part cash and
part stock, of the new company. The
proportion of cash is placed at S15.O0O,-
600 to S20,OOO,OO0. Under the new ar
rangement the United Copper output,
which has been 100000 pounds of re-
fined copper a year, will be reduced to
100000 or 100000 pounds.
The new company, starting with pro-
duction of 100000 to 30,0OO,OOO
pounds, will increase that to some To-
100000 pounds by opening up properties
which have been closed by injunction.
T. Augustus Heinze entered the Mon
tana copper field in 1895 as an engineer.
He soon started a smelter and in a little

field. Meantime Heinze got into trouble
with his rivals over disputed territory,
and lawsuits were started. In 1899 the
famous Amalgamated company was organ
led 1t was headed by Marcus DAILY,
who was backed by the Rockefellers, H.
H. Rogers, James Stillman and other
Standard Oil fnanciers. Heinze fought
the whole crowd, and his knowledge of
local conditions gave him an immense adj
vantage.

Rations for Growing Pigs.

An inquirer asks what is the most
profitable feed for pigs during the win
ter season, the feeds available for his
use being corn at 80 cents per bushel,
chopped stuff and shorts at S1.1O per
hundred and rye at So cents per bushel.
He is at present feeding a straight IA
ton of corn and asks for arguments in
favor of balancing his ration with the
feeds mentioned.
This man will find it impossible, says
Professor Van Pelt in reply, to make
balanced ration for growing pigs by
combining the feedstuffs mentioned,
because no one of them contains a
large enough proportion of protein to
balance the carbohydrates found in the
others. Assuming the rye is grown on
the farm, it would be advisable to sub
stitute some other feedstuff in place of
shorts, to supply the protein. l would
suggest the following ration: Ten parts
corn, two parts rye, one part tankage
1t will be found that the above ration
will nnt only produce greater, IT, more
economical gains and the general
health and thrift of the pigs will be
more vigorous than when corn alone is
fed. Tankage guaranteed to contain 90
per cent protein can be purchased from
any of the leading packers, if ordered
exclusively for feeding purposes, and
will we'll repay it's purchase.

Converts in Philadelphia Number
200 in One Day.


Fifteen thousand persons tried to gain
admittance to the afternoon and evening
Torrey-Alexander revival meetings in the
Philadelphia armOry Tuesday. More than
200 converts were recorded as the result
of the days work. The meeting in the
afternoon was for women only and that
at night for men only. They were declar-
ed to be the largest separate congregations
of men and women that ever gathered for
religious services in Philadelphia. In the
rush to get into the armory one woman
fell and fractured her nose.
The whole city is in the throes of the
revival movement. 1t is the chief topic of
onversation in the street cars, in stores
and at the dinner table. Even political
issues are being lost sight Of in the re-
ligious enthusiasm.
Striking effects of the revival campaign
are being felt. The policemen of the
three districts in the neighborhood of the
armory declare that they have had little
or nothing to do since the revival began.
One day last week when the magistrates
appeared for the hearings in these dis
tricts not a single prisoner was arraigned.

Feeding for Egg supply.

If the hens do not lay fairly we'll
during the winter, it is because some
one or more things are done which
should not be done, or left undone
which should have been done. 1t is
an excellent plan, when the egg supply
is shot during any portion of the win
ter, to sit down calmly and let ones
mind run back over the summer; fol-
low, in your mind, a flock of hens over
the range and note how they feed a
grain here, an insect there, a blade Of
grass in another place, and a worm
somewhere else; never, you will re-
member. do they Overfeed.
One of the main causes of lack Of
eggs during the winter, assuming that
the fowls have a comfortable and dry
house, is overlooking, and another is
lack of exercise. 1t is surprising how
much more a hen will eat than she
ought If given an opportunity, and
how little inclined she is to exercise
if she can obtain all of her needs in
the way of food from the troughs.
Every once in a while we try the plan
Of placing the hens on rather short
rations, and making them hustle for
these in the chaff on the floor. During
such times we see that there is plenty
Of grit and plenty Of dust boxes, and
after q time it is noticed the hen be-
gins 20 look up and becomes anxious
for food; the ration is then gradually
increased, and then ing begins again.
Keep the summer conditions" in mind
during the winter, and follow them
out as nearly as possible if you would
keep The hens laying.
