Victorio’* camp had been located, in a | general way,ou the Mexican side of the ) Rio Grande, about due south from the lit- | tle supply camp of the American troops | stationed at Magle Springs, Tex. Because the river could not be crossed by United | States forces, there could be no special loca- | tion of the Apache bivouac—simply Vic- torio was “around there,” at about such a place’ Generi Gresham, colonel of the Fifteenth regiment, United States cavalry (colored), determined that a reconnois- sance of a more special nature was neces- sary to try to decide if the “infernal devils,”” who were bound to get over some- |} how would cross the river opposite the | Alamo, between Kagle Springs and Bass’ {| ¢anyon | By reason of “fancy duty” and other | “soft details’—all “fancy,” however—there | was ouly astugle officer to each mounted organization, counting one cavalryman to |eommand the Pueblo Indian scouts. It wax necessary, therefore, to send a noncom- missioned officer in command of the recon- noitering party. Corporal Asa Weaver of Troop I was recommended by his captain, and the general told Beatty, the adjutant, to ive the detailed orders—seven cavalry- men from the different troops, besides the corporal and four Indian scouts, The roster of his troop showed that Prt- vate George Tockes of Troop C was to rep- resent that troop in the Alamo expedition. Tockes was not a bad man. He was young and possessed many of the foliies of youth —if not most ef them. He was a colored Kentuckian and posed or tried to pose as a lover of spirited horseflesh as well as of other Kentucky institutions. He was not ahard character in any sense and did not get drunk oftener than every pay day—at that time once every two to four months— and sometimes he would even miss that in- dulgence. All in all, young, reckless boy as he was, he was an efficient, bright, neat <oldier. Nothing pleased him better than at guard mounting to take orderly away trom Caucasian confveres Who happened to be -erving’et his post, and he usually did it. Like most of his race, he was an excel- ieut rider. Like most of the southern rep- resentatives of his race, he sought to secure for his own riding the worst tempered horse of those assigned to his troop. His present horse was a restive, vicious, buck- ing beast, whieh few of his comrades cared wo back, but of which Tockes seemed to be particularly fond, There was no man in the troop who suffered «more during the process of grooming from oceasional kicks, evgy bites, than Tockes wie. and few who in riding Were dropped oftener than Tockes was dropped, but no horse in the troup received kinder, more gentle, more retional treatment than Tockes’ mount re- ceived from Tockes, jt Guex not take long when in camp for a small scouting outfit to get ready. Lieuten- ant (and Adjutant) Beatty gave his orders at half past 9 o’clock p. m., and as was his custom gave very simple orders: “Two days’ saddle pocket rations. You are not sent out todo any fighting unless you have to—Yearthat in mind, You know the country: go tothe Alamo; watch close; use your Indian scouts as best you can; get word to us as quickly as possible if you dis- cover anything, and if you are jum or seen, come back quick with your outfit. Before 10 o'clock Corporal Asa Weaver reported that he and his detachment were ready to start. After reporting and receiving his last in- structions, Weaver saluted and gave the command to mount, and ‘by file, by the right flank, march,” and the little band, Tockes along with the rest, followed Wea- ver on the trail from the Eagle Springs overland stage station, near which was the supply camp, into the arroyos and hills to the southeast. It was the night of Aug. 1, 1880. The Alamo, so called from the small cluster of cottonwood trees near by, is by trail about 30 miles a little east of south of Eagle Springs. The trail trends nearly southeast- erly at first through the rough country bor- dering the eastern slopes of Eagle moun- tains and then turns toward the south. Difticult country—rocks, loose stones, steep inclines and declines, cacti in every con- eeivable (except giant) variety, abound. It was a starlight night, but at that hour there was no moonlight. The moon would scale the horizon at about 2 o’clock, There was wo chance for fast riding. A steady walk was the extreme possibility. Drawn out in single file, trying to follow the narrow trail, the men scattered fre quently at considerable distances. One be- hind the other, there was little opportu- nity for coherent conversation. The noise of the horses’ hoofs, climbing and sliding up avd down through the rocks and loose stones, up one arroyo, down into another, deadened most articulate sound. Each man had to look syuarely out that he did not get an ugly fall, and that feature de- pended on how each individual soldier could guide, as it were, at first in the dark- ness, later in the almost as treacherous moonshine, each individual horse. Pitched to an extremely high key, unde- sirable for continuous talk, many a choice outh could have been distinctly heard when a horse made a false step or a rider caused his horse to do so, Doubtless Mr. Bergh or a garrison court martial could either have secured evidence—might have convicted six out of the eight cavalrymen for absolute cruelty to dumb and United States beasts. But the outfit rode along just the same, Tockes and his vicious mount keeping up | first rate. Corporat Asa Weaver was an old and soldier and knew. his business. He | thoroughly understood nét only the letter but the spirit of his orders and also their responsibility. Way down in his big Af rican heart he thought of those New Mexi- can ranchers, Caucasians most of thera, but stil) his countrymen, dwelling now in fan- sjed security, but to whom would come dire dexolation and ruin, of the approach of whieb they could receive no possible warn- ing, should Victorio get ahead of the Fif- teenth cavalry and make the evidently de- sired break from Mexico toward the old battlefields near the Mescalero Apache res- ervation. Weaver's chief plan was to make as much distance as possible during the wight and lie hidden during theday. He hoped to get by morning within the shadow and concealment of the trees of the Alamo. | But the rough trail and tho darkrtess | during the first hours rather upset Wea- ver’s calculations, When the sun began to rise on the morning of Aug. 2, he was, despite hard, persistent, almost marvelous | riding—considering the circumstances— } quite 12 miles away from the group of cot- | tonwoods that marked the Alamo. He | camped his detachment in the first conven- j {ent small canyon, where alittle fairly good | grass regaled his horses, and where a small | tank of rainwater, held by rocks in the bed of the little canyon, gave, by economic | bat not stingy use, sufficient drink for stock i | and men. | Weaver had camped in the same canyon } before during previous months when on | bunting trips from the then cantonment of a Sas P. E. ISLAND, THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1893. re eR Pot — | his troop at Viejo pass and now considered | himself in great luck, as well he might in arid western Texas, to find water still there. The meu, by using branches of scrub live | Oak trees to be found there, cooked break- fast without overmuch smoke. There was no flour. Army hardtack was the human grain provender. The meat ration can fried the bacon right enough, and the army tin cup served neatly to boil the coffee in and to drink the coffee from. There were no other luxuries. There had not been even a drop of mescal at Eagle Springs, of which fact the corporal after diligent inquiry was personally aswure, After breakfast the four Pueblo scouts were sent to the front on foot in slightly different directions toward the Alamo, The rest of the detachment remained in bivouac, with videttes posted. The Indian scouts returned an hour or two before sunset. As usual with the Pueblos, they had seen nothing, although they claimed to have worked down as far as the Rio Grande. The Pueblos have never been star actors as scouts. They have al- ways meant well enough perhaps, but their interpretation of eorrect meaning has in- variably fallen far short of correct action. The Apache himself, the one of vue rriend- ly order, has been the only Indian scout or scout of any race from whom General Crook or the government ever received at any time any practical benefit in any campaign against the Apaches. And General Crook was really the only American ofticer of high tank who ever scemed to appreciate that fact—newspaper highly colored anecdotes as to other sirateyjcal planners of the sort to the contrary notwithstanding. General Crook during his lifetime never utilized bewspaper reporters or newspapers to any great extent, Corporal Weaver decided to wait until the moon rose at about 3 a.m. and then to march toward and beyond the Alamo with his entire command. He ordered two Pueblo scouts to precede the outfit a rea- sonable distance and placed Tockes iu charge of these scouts. The two other scouts he assigned as flankers to bis little column to the right and left. No definite distances, of course, by reason of the ground, were ordered in either instance. The advance was begun not much after 3 o'clock and moonrise. The march was quite slow, everybody keeping astrict look- out. There were many halts on account of bad ground and for consultation and con- sideration. Before daybreak the Alamo was passed, and by sunrise the river was close shead. It was just about this time that Private George Tockes galloped back to the cor- poral. “I sees ‘em, Weaver!” he cried, “the whole durn outfit! Must be the whole of 100, but they looks like 1,000. They’re right in front of us and on this side of the river. Don’t know if they’ve seen us yet, but there they am anyhow.” But the hostiles had made ont Tockes and his two scouts, They came at first quite warily, until they recognized the weakness of the force opposed to them. Then they developed extreme bravery. Scattering in every direction, but each direction convergent on Weaver's smal] command, shooting, yelling like demons, they tried to surround and take in the de tachment, Weaver had only 12men all told against Victorio’s 100 warriors. Armament was in efficieney a standoff, not counting num- bers. The Apache renegades had quite as good firearms as the soldiers had. The four Pueblo scouts gave the game up from the very first. Some mounted, some dismount- ed; they all struck immediately of their own instinctive accord for the mountains. The Pueblos were lost to Weaver for all time and eternity. There were only eight cavalrymen theu, all of the colored variety, to face all of Victorio’s braves. Of course Corporal Weaver was obliged tomake a run toward Eagle Springs. It was sunlight now, and he could see and use his way. His minor tactics, although perhaps intuitive, were splendid. “All I could think of, lieutenant,” he caid in afterward narrating his experi- ences, ‘was to make the next highest rise on the back trail. There I'd halt, dis- mount and shoot into the hostiles, and i’d stop them a little every time. Then I'd mount and strike out for the next back rise.” These tactics were continued for more than 20 miles. When he arrived at Eagle Springs at half past 20’clock p. m. Aug. 8, Weaver himself and two of his men had bullet holes through campaign hats and flannel shirts, one of them actually hit through the ball of his foot, and more than one horse was badly wounded. It was during one of the retreats after one of the last halts on one of the “rises” mentioned by Cerporal Weaver that Pri- vate George Tockes left the detachment. As Tockes was in the act of mounting his borse the animal was grazed or hit bya hostile bullet. His comrades noticed the fact even in their hurry and called out, knowing the temper of the brute, “Look out, ‘Tockes; your pony has been hurt!” Tockes swung into the saddle, but he soon saw that it was impossible for him to fol- lew his retreating friends. His horse, mad- dened by pain and by the noise and excite- ment, began to buck from the outset. The hostiles were crowding up from the rear. Their bullets whistied by him. His horse refused to go ahead. “Durn you!” yelled Tockes so loudiy that his companions heard bim; “turn the other way, then, you in- ferna) devil!” and wheeling around he spurred his insubordinate charger direct toward the enemy. The last view the detachment bad of Pri- vate George Tockes alive was that of a man with reins loose on his horse’s neck riding ata dead run, shooting right and left with his carbine into Victorio’s Apaches. About six months afterward, on the trail of Corporal Asa Weaver's gallant running fight, the skeletons of a man and horse were found and a broken piece of saddle, | the latter bearing the stamped mark “C. 15.” ~Lewis Ferguson in Argonaut.

VOL. NO. 4, HOW TO BUILD A SILO. Directions burnished by Professor King of the Wiscensin Mxpstriment Station. It is generally conceded the form of a silo ought to be either round or as nearly gquare as it is practicable to make it, be- cause these furms give the greatest ca- pacity with the least amount of side ex- posure. The long, narrow silos are wasteful both of silage and lumber. A silo S2 foet square will have the same amount of side exposure as one 16 by 48, and for the same depth will hold jast one-third more, while the sameamonnt ef siding in a round silo will inclose more than two-thirds more silage and will re- quire inuch less lnmber to build it, be cause 2 by 4 studding may be used, the siding and lining acting as hoops, giving the needed strength, and because both the amount of siding and of roof materi- ; als wonld be less, This is in accordance with daca furnished by Professor F. H. King ofthe Wisconsin experiment sta- hon. The authority quoted emphasizes the | importance of deep silos and advises to insure best ensilage that the depth shonld be at least 24 feet. Itis impor- tant that the silo walls be rigid enough to withstand pressure without being sprung to any considerable extent. Smoothness of silo walls is essential to best results. In constructing silos it is important to choose dimensions that will give the best feeding, and the proper horizontal erea of a feeding pit depends upon the amount of rilage fed daily and | the rate at which silage becomes injured | when exposed Following is a table prepared by Pro- fessor King and incorporated in the experiment station. This table gives in- side dimensions of silos that will allow the silage to be fed down at a mean rate | | of about two or three inches daily, as- | suming 40 pounds of silage at time of | fling to be fed to each cow daily.

We don't like to deal with that kind of a person becanse he displays greediness in the first place and lack of good chicken sense in the second place, writes a Tennesseean to Southern Culti- vator. A hen will in nine cases out of ten hatch more chickens from 18 eggs than from 15 eggs simply from the fact that not more than one or two hens in a dozen ordinary farmyard hens are large enough to cover 15 eggs. Another mistake consists in consoli- dating broods by givifig all the chickens ta one hen when two or more hatch at the same time. Don’t do it. It may seem all right, but itis all wrong. In warm, dry weather the large broods may Go fairly well, but just let a rainy, chilly spell come along and then see how fast the smvller and weaker ones drop out of the race. Let each hen have her chick- ens. It would be much better and the chickens would grow faster and larger if each brood consisted of only seven or eight chickens. Thereis no disguising the fact that the secret of success in peultry keeping consists in keeping all flocks small. The person who advocates putting 100 or 200 iiitie chi¢kens all in one bunch in a brooder knows nothing about tha ne- cessity to observe natural conditions in poultry raisivng. Nature intended for a hen to sit on a small number of eggs and to care for asmal] number of chickens only, and nature never intended for 100 hens to run, eat and roost together, nor 100 chickens to be penned up together. Sheep In Orchards, Mr. J. 8. Woodward, at a meeting of New Yorx horticulturists, said that he always made a sheep pasture of his or- chard, and it was true that sheep made the best insecticides he ever had. He would advise keeping 100 sheep on every 10 acres of orchard. To feed them enough, give them plenty of linseed meal and bran, which will make them ravenous for apples. The feed, the ap- ples and the scattered grass had answer- ed an excellent he had not plow it was in excellent condition, Agriculture at the World's Fair. Nearly every state has a pavilion in the Agricultural building. Missouri exhibits the St. Louis bridge in miniature, made of corn and wheat straw. Louisiana's rice exhibit is a peculiarly handsome one. Cotton and sugar also make a fine show. Tobacco occupies the post of honor in Kentucky's exhibit. Corn is king of the Nebraska exhibit.
