LOW DOWN WAGON.
One Farmer Tells of His Expert 2nee
with One.

i have been using a handy wagon
for about two years, writes a corre-
spondent of Orange Judd Farmer. The
height of front steel wheels is "a
inches and rear wheels 40 inches,
with tires five inches wide and one
half inch thick. For field work, such
as husklng corn, hauling grain in
sheaves, ETC., this wagon is a great
advantage. The wheels being of steel
II will not break down, as the tires
cannot run off, which is often the case
with wooden wheels.
The draft is lighter, as It will not
cut into the soil, and being low down
1t is easier loading. For road use,
when hard and dry and free of ruts,
which is most generally the case with
roads in Nebraska, the draft is the
same as a high-wheel, narrow-tire
wagon, but right after a rain, when
the top is muddy and hard under
neath the draft is heavier, although
when deep ruts are cut by narrow
tires the wide wheels will have to
smooth them down.
Wagons with wheels lower than be-
ore mentioned are not advisable for
general farm use, as they cannot be
lsed for dumping grain In an elevator,
also when hauling sheaves ON dry,
'ough stubble. and the draft is consid-
srably heavier, and the swinging and
arring of the tongue often gives the
lorses a sore neck.

Builds Up a Soil.

Alfalfa is said by experts to be the
greatst plant known for the building
up of crop-worn soils. In Nebraska
this crop is looked upon as one OF the
mainstays. Alfalfa gathers the nitro.
gen from the air and puts It back into
the soil from which 1t will be drawn
when that land is used for grain grow.
ing. Some men hold that this is the
best forerunner of the corn crop, some
even going SO far as to say that to pre-
cede corn with alfalfa Is even more
important than selecting seed corn.

BATTLE OF SAN JACINTO.
The Desperate Fight That HeraIded
the Dawn of Texan Freedom.

the Dawn of Texan Freedom.
On the morning of the 21st of April,
1885, the day chosen for the battle
which was to decide the fate of Texas,
Houston's first words had been, The
sun of Austerlitz has risen again" He
had then called council of war and
asked the opinion of his six field Off
GERS as to whether they should attack
the enemy or wait for the attack to
come from them.
The four senior officers strangely
counseled delay, but their arguments
did not convince Houston, who declar-
ed that the hour for action bad arriv-
ed and plainly announced the inten-
ton on his own responsibility to risk
a general engagement He then dis
patched Deaf Smith. his most trusty
scout, to cut down the bridge which
offered the only means Of escape to
either army
Make the best of your way" he had
said in his habitual tone of kindly
friendship, 'to Eince's bridge, cut it
down and burn it up and come back
like eagles or you will be too late for
the day" And just as the first charge
was starting horseman fecked with
foam from his painting charger had
dashed along the lines OF the patriot
army, as Houston had arranged that
he should do. calling out clearly that
all might hear. this deathknell to all
hopes of possible escape: Il have cut
down Eince's bridge. Now. fight for
your lives and remember the Alamo
The Texan army. with Houston rid
ing at the front Of the center column,
had then dashed forward against the
Mexican breastworks behind which
stood the army of Santa Anna, drawn
up In perfect order and calmly reserv-
ing its fire for short range Their first
volley. however. by the grace Of a di-
vine Providence as the Texans declar-
ed. went too high. Houston's leg was
shattered at the ankle and his horse
severely wounded. but his columns still
advanced uninjured.
Then came the answering vollev,
poured into the very bosoms" of the
astonished Me1icans-unable to reload
and without bayonets for the charge.
The Texans had dubbed their mus
kets" and dealt desperate blows, and
finally, when they had thus battered
their way into the very center of the
Mexican army. they had drawn their
murderous bowie knives and literally
cut their way through dense masses Of
living flesh
The battle had lasted only twenty
minutes. but in that time a new ma
ton had been born into the world.
