forcements were peeded and #t was rzrvvw:x:‘_\: as well, to intorm :;:qz troops at a distance that bands of hostiles had broken away from the main body and must be met and checked, The whole country was swarming with Indians and the trip fo Camp Supply was one that was deemed almost certain death for the courlers who would attempt to make the ride. The commanding othicer of the forces in the tleld asked for volunteers and Sergt. Zacharias T. Woodall of I Troop stepped forward and sald thad he was ready to go " His example was followed by every man in the two troops, and that day cowardice hung its head. The ranking captain chose Woodall, and then picked cut four men to accompany him on the ride across the Indian-infested wilderness. The five cavalrymen went northward under the star light. At the dawn of the first day they pitched their dog tents in a little bhollow and started to make the morning cup of coffee. When full day was come they saw circling on the horizon a swarm.of Cheyennes. The eye of the sergeant told him from the movements of the Indians that they Kknew of the presence of the troopers and that their circle formation was for the purpose of gradually closing in to the killing. Sergt. Woodall and his four meén chose a place near their bivouac which offered some slight advantage for the purposes of defemse. There they waited with carbines advanced, while the red cordon closed in its lines. The Cheyennes charged, and. while charging sent a volley into the little prairfe stronghold. Five carbines made .answer, and five Cheyenne ponies carried their dead or wounded riders out of range, for in that day mounted Indians went into battle tied to their horses. ; . : Rehind the little rampart Sergt. Woodall lay ‘sorely wounded and one man was dying. Let the letter of Gen. Miles tell the rest of the story. “From early morning to dark, outnumbered 25 to 1. under an almost constant fire and at such a sho:t range that they sometimes used their pistols, retaining the last charge to prevent capture and tarture, this littie party of five defended their lives and the person of their dying comrade, without food, and their only drink the rainwater that they collected in a pool, mingied with their own

Heroism wus the order in the oid plaing’ days, : , 2 In the White River valley of Colorado a de tachment of troops was surrounded by Utes and for four days the soldiers, starving and thirsting, made a herole dofense sgainst the swarming reds, Relte! came from Port I A Russell, whence Col Wesley Merritt led a force 1o the rescue in one of the greatest and gquickest rides of army bis tory - : - After Megritt's legion bhad thrashed and scattered the Utes it was supposed that none of the savages was left in the valley. Lirut. Welr of the Ordnance corps, a son of the professor of drawing at the Military academy, was on a visit 1o the west, and was in the camp of the Fifth cavalry. A tenderfoot named Paul Hume had wandéred out to the camp to look over the scene of the great fight. -He knew Welr and he suggested a deer hunt. s i The ordnance officer agreed to accompany him and off they started after having recefved a warndng not to wander too .far afield. The hunters, eager for the chase, went farther than they thought, and soon they changed from hunters to hunted. . ' A young leutenant of the Fifth cavalry, Wil fam H. Hall, now stationed in Washington with the rank of brigadier general, was ordered to take a party of three men with him and to make & reconnoissance, for it suddenly became the thought of the commanding officer that there might be savages lurking about. Hall and his men struck into the foothills and circled the country for miles. In the middle of the afternoon they heard firing to the right and front. It was rapid and sharp, and Hall led his men straight whence it came. | Rounding a point of rocks the troopers saw at a little distance across an open place in the hills ‘& band of Utes in war paint and feathers. There were 35 of the reds, all told, and they were firing as fast as they could load and pull trigger in the direction of a small natural fortification of boul ‘ders a quarter way up the face of a cliff. From the rocks came a return fire so feeble that Hall knew there could not be more than two ‘men behind the place of defense. In a trice he thought of Weir and Hume, and he believed that

slice of that rich wheat land doesn't wait to build a regular house before starting to grab riches from the soil. Even if he were minded to build one, he would have dificulty in doing it, for there is no timder handy. So it is better to wait until the locomotive catches up.

How to Make a Farmer. -

The foundation stone of a mation’s success is revealed in an article in All Ireland Review. A friend of the

They had jost one man from the fire of the O hesteged. They were afrald 1o dharge, knowing thal to sweep up that siope even with only (wo riftes covering it geant deaih for several of their band. Mgl 124 hiz men (o & position on the liahk of the savages and sent in four sbots The bullets were the first notice that the reds had that they had two parties to desl with They changed their position again in & twinkiing, and located them geives so that they were under cov . er from both directions, but they , #ent 3 volley in the face of the Mt tie detachment that had ridden in 1 the rescue, - . To charge the ensmy with his three men meant certaln death to Hall and his troopers. The lisuten-

It was a des perate chance, but hetivr than staying where they wers to starve apd thirst. or to be surprised and kilied in a night rush of the savages Welr and Hume heard the shots of the troopers and knew that help, though (@ was feeble, was at hand. They kaw the hovering smoke of the car bines and thus located exactly the position of the troops. They startdd to do what Hall thought they would do. They wmade a dash for some rocks 20 yvards nearer their comrades than were those bhe hind which they wére hiding - The cavalry Heutenant knew that the path of Welr and Hume would be bullet spattered all the way, and that f they escaped being killed it would be because of a miracle. Then this stripling Heu tenant did something besldes think. The instant that Welr and his comrade made their hreak {rom cover, Hail stood stralght up and presented himsell 4 falr and shining wark for the Ute hallets The reds crashed a voiley at bim, ignoring Weir and Hume The shois struck ali arouad Hall making a framework of spatters on the rock at his back, but he was unhurt, and Weir and his comrade were behind sheiter at the end of the first stage of their lourpey. - : Hall dropped back to shelter and then In a mo ment, alter Welr and Hume had a chance to draw breath for their second dash, he stood up once more, -daring the death that seemed certain. The hunted ones struck for the next spot that offered shelter the instant that the Ute rifles spat thelr volley at the man who was willing to make of himself & sacrifice that others might live. Hall came through the second ordeal of fire unhurt, and once more he dropped back to shelter to prepare for the third trial with fate. e i The Ute chieftain was alive by this time to the situation. He ordered his braves to fire, the onehalf at Hall and the other half at the two who were now to run death’'s gantlet. . Hall stood up. Weir and Hume dashed out. The reds divided their fire. Hall stood unhurt. Weir and Hume dropped dead within ten yards of the ‘man who would have died for them.

‘Hall led his men back over the track that they had come, holding the Utes at bay. Ald came near the end ¢f the perilous trail. Lieut. Hall is now in the milkary secretary’'s department at Washington with the rank of a brigadier general His men told the story of that day in the White River valey, and a bit of bronze representing the medal of honor is worn by the veteran in recognition of a deed done for his fellows.

A reader would like to know “what the owner of a farm, renting on shares, is required to furnish the one who rents.” The question {8 not entirely clear, but it is presumed tha‘tt the correspondent means w’orking'on{ shares instead of renting. In that case it is a common custom for the land- | owner to furnish the land and seed, | and the other party to give the labor | and manure. In some cases the cos't'i of manure or fertilizer lis shared | equally. The income of -the crop is equally divided.

The brush-eating fostinet of the AnEora gont s belng suceessfully demonstrated on the Lassen national forest in Ualifornia, where they are cutting trails for . fire guards through the brushy are as on the slopes of the The animals, which number 3,000, have been divided into two bands, and under the care of the herders are grazed within certain welldefined areas so that their work may be concentrated on the brush within those 'lfmits: The result is - that they have practically killed nearly all the brush in. the course either by eating it up entirely, or by barking, as in the case of the heavy manzanita bushes. At the beginning of the experiment there was some doubt as to the goats' williigneszs to eat the manzanita, but ft has been found thet where there is little else they will just as readily at tack it as zny other bushes. - The grazing season was g 0 late this year on the Lassen forest that the goats did not begin operations until about the middle of June, but since then they have made rapid progress and the result promises to be a success from every point of view. The trails will first be opened and then kept free of sprouts by the goats, saving the government considerable labor in cutting them out by hand, as has ‘heen done heretofore, while the brushy forage which otherwise would have been wasted will support 3,000 goats very comfortably. Feed for the Sow. : Feed the sow lightly of heavy feeds for a week or more before and for the same time after farrowing so that she will- not take on surplus: fat and so that an early excess of milk will not be -produced. When the pigs are about a week old. the feed may be increased gradually till the sow receives all she will eat. Let the feeds be of a kind that will produce milk. Exclusive corn diet is not good for sows with litters. Name Your Farm. : ~ There is no doubt but that a name in connection with a dairy, fruit or poultry farin—or any other farm, for that matter—is a distinguishing mark and is a very great help in establishing trade. It is advertising which costs nothing, which gains steadily from being used freely in conversation and finally becomes indissolubly associated with the product for which it stands. In choosing a name adopt a simple, on letter heads, in advertising on the
