NEW DRAINAGE DISTRICT

embracing seventy-one thousand,
nine hundred and twenty acres,
voted upon the final formation of
a drainage district. The PROPOSE
ton carried by a vote of seven
ty-one for and nine against. The
following directors We're elected :
VIM. j. Etherton, A. l.. Stroup
and A. Il. Headly.
This means the rehabilitation OF
seventy thousand acres of land
as rich as II crow ever flew over.
Some of this land is already sup
piled with ample reservoir water
and interested parties are now
negotiating for an ample supply
for the remainder of it. When
these improvements are in, Mos
ca will have as large and fertile
country to support it as now
maintains Monte Vista with her
three thousand happy, prosperous
citizens. Work will begin ON con
struction of the drainage bitches
as soon as frost is out of the
ground in the spring.

TANNING SEED GRAIN

In a few months the grains will
have to be seeded. Before that
time arrives the farmer should
have his seed thoroughly famed
and graded. This should be
done during the dull season, but
if it has been neglected, there
is no time like the present for
doing it.
Nearly all seed is lacking
in uniformity of size and con
talns large amount of small kerr
nels which may or may not be
shriveled. AS rule these kernels
will not produce nearly so Wig
orous plants as the larger and
plumper grains, and will not be
able to withstand the ravages of
a cold winter like the plants
grown from the plumper grains.
In other words, IA better stand
is obtained when the seed grain
has been famed.
In addition to removing the
small kernels, tanning also re-
moves the weed seeds. There is
hardly any grain as it comes
from the threshing machine, that
is absolutely clean, but by
running it through the tanning
mill both the small grains and
the weed seeds are removed.
Weeds disseminate rapidly enough
without sowing their seeds in
seed grain. The elimination of
weed seed will save the farmer
endless trouble and work in the
future.
The farmer who has consist
emily famed his seed knows that
it pays. His land is kept clean
err, better yields are obtained, and
this is directly due to the fan
ming mill, which every farmer can
and should own, as it will soon
pay for itself.

HARD PRESSED BY CAVALRY
PIucky Running Fight Put Up by the Rear Guard of oreggs Division
 at pinWlddie c. H.

l first enlisted in Company D. Eighth Pennsylvania, fer three years. We were with the Army of the Poto- mac in all its battles (except Chancel- korsville and Gettysburg) to the Will derness and Spotsylvania, writes James Hasson of Perryopol;s, Pa, in the National Tribune. Our time hav- ing expired, we marched out of line, and were discharged in June, 1864. 1 then enlisted in Company G, Sixteenth Pennsylvania cavalry, for one year.
 l was in Gregg's division, second brigade, and it was while with that command had a close call in the fall of 1864. The cavalry was on the ex- treme. left of the army at Petersburg. Early one morning we started out on raid around the right of Lees army. The Sixteenth Pennsylvania cavalry was in advance, and as there is always an advance guard in front of the mov- fng column that duty fell to four men of my company, Henry Mel, William Hagan and, if I remember, Joe Neil and myself.
 Nothing very exciting happened on our outward move. We reached Din- widdie c. H. some time in the after noon. We then wheeled to the right and moved up until we were in sight of the enemy's camps. We then wheeled right-about and started on our return.
 Fitzhugh Lee was in command of Lees cavalry, which consisted of seven brigades, and we knew he would follow LIS.
 The guard had gotten canteen full of apple jack and they began to get pretty talkative. When the column started to move the rear guard stopped in the road and passed the canteen around. As I had not tempered with the contents of the canteen, got hold of it and threw 1t over my shoulder. I told the boys they had had enough for the present. I also remarked that we were two miles in rear of the col umn, and that Fitzhugh Lees cavalry would jump onto us and give us a trip to Libbey prison if we didn't look sharp.
 We then started to move. Hagan and I moved through a gate, and started to ride up r. house some 20) yards from the road. where we saw mounted man sitting in front of the house We hadn't gone more than half

 Neil fired all the loads out of his carbine and retreated down the road. As Hagsn and I were cut off from the road we took to the fields for it. didn't count thesfences We went over, but there were several of them. The cavalry horses were trained to jump, and they went over like sheep. The Confederate cavalry horses being fresh from camp, gained on us very rapidly, and were soon riding along not more than 50 yards to the left of IS. Both parties were firing, but as the horses were running at full speed the balls flew harmless with one ex- ception.
 I we'll remember the words of the captain as I took my position in the line. He said: "Hasson, where's Ha- gan?" 1 answered: "The rebels got nim.' I saw a tear in the captains eye when l answered him. Hagan got back all right in about three or four months. Our brigade arrived at the junction two hours before Lee, and he had his wagon train in front of him.
 We kept the train moving until about 200 wagons had passed. One of our scouts rode up and told us to cut the train, as brigade of infantry and brigade of cavalry were coming in sight. As we were the only troops that had reached the junction yet, we rad lively time of it for awhile. We formed line of battle in single line, md fought mounted. We held them a hort time until they began to move round our right flank. I began to hink we were in a tight place when he old Fifth corps came up with a ;heer, and that settled it. We got the wagon trail all right.
