L. Crompton. of Rox- bury, Mass. A Globe Democrat reporter hearing of Colonel Crompton’s presence in the city sought him out, and, by the expenditure of much persuasive elo century quence, induced him to give an account of his expericnces during the war of in- dependence, “In the winter of 1831, Colonel Crompton began, 1 left my home in Massachusetts for the purpose of sceking my fortune in the west. My destination was Lexington, Ky., but while on the Ohio river 1 fell in with a party of ng men who were on th Wiy o1 Colonel Travis in T and, earried away by their vivid pictares of the life of adventurous excitement that awaited I joined their band, < to the right them in that country without much Knc or wrong of the cause which 1 pledgzed myself to sustain. We traveled by Loat to New Orleans, and there took ship for Galveston. Here we procured horses and proceeded to join the Texan forces, then operating in_ the neighborhood of Sun Antonio de Bexar. Anything less like an army in appearance it would be hard to imagme. Uniform there wus none, ench dre: ssing to suit his own pecu- linr funcy, and the men were various as their attire. A very large percentage had left the states because they had ‘miet with 1dent’—the Texan euphonism for having committed some crime—but the greater number were young fellows who, like myself, had been led into the war by love of change and excitement. 8o large a proportion of very young men has seldom been found in any military fore ENTERING S8AN ANTONIO, hortly after my arrival 1 attached If to the command of that magnifi- Tennessean, Colonel Milam, and soon became devotedly attached to him. He was a man of :ph'ndld character, without the sternness of Travis or the strong tlavor of blackguardism that hung 1. The latter [ knew w athough I could not help rcmgm/,m.g his strong But Milam won all hearts, ny of us thought he was the proper leader for the army. “As soon as we had gathered sufficient strength we attacked the Mexicaen forces in San Antonio. They far outnumbered nd a desperate struggle ensued. For ays we fought n the streets and among the adobe honses, each of which was a miniature fortress. Vith pic and spades we dug our way through the from house to house, thus great loss which would have re at a direct storm. The fight :minda house was fierce and bloody,but at last we drove the Mexica out and took possession. But our tri- umph was soon turned to mourning, for shortly after it was captured the beloved Milam fell dead, shot by a Mexican who lay concealed behind a wall on the oppo- ide of tie Sun Antonioriver, We at :ngth obtained possession of the town, but did not retain it long, as the advance of President santa Anna compelled us to withdraw, leaving Travis, with less than one hundred and fifty men to guard the town. I shall never forget the day when young Maverick rode into our camp with the news that Travis, refusing to retreat, was shut up n the Alamo andsurrounded by an overwhelming force. STEALING THROUGH THE L h “Ido not know what madness pos- sessed me, but when I beard that Hous- ton had decided that he w. march to the relief of Travis in- deed the case) 1 determined to gallop to ited from San Antonio, endeavor to steal through the Mexican lines and join my old Kentucky fr who _were nearly all within the garrison walls.

So far all was well, but in_endeavoring to between the Mexican pick: upon and wounded, and ow from death to the With difli- culty I made my to the house of a Texican whom'I had betriended during our vccupution of the city, and he gen- erously agreed to conceal me i his house. A narrow window com- manded an excellent view of one front of the Alamo wall, and from this point could see nearly all of that memorable struggle. Day after day the Me n fire kept up, and time after time were their storming columns hurled against the old churcn wall, which formed the Texan rampart. But nolhmg could disturb the ealm de. peration of the. defenders, and at the close of each day the lone star flag floated as pmudl). and, apparently, as securely as ever from the roof of the mission. The Mexican losses were fear- ful. Their clumsy escopetas were no mateh for the long” Hawkins rifles in the hands of Kentue and Tennessee back- woodswen. Hundreds fell every day, but their loss wus little felt i that over- whelming host, while every man of the parrison who died was an irreparable in- T The line along the wall grew very but still there was no thought of surrender amidst that gallant band, At length, when death and wounds had re- duced the poor handful to half its origi- nal numbers, the Mexicans effected a lodgment in an undefended portion of creep s 1 was fired 1 my escape the wall and poured in by hundreds, THE LAST DESPERATE STRUGGLE, “Although there now was no hope of BuCe the brave Texans fought as steadily and firmly as on the first Cday of the sicze.

The dead were heaped in wild confusion all over the building, and the gutters fairly ran with blood.

But I hope that the pendence will not be forgotten, for when all is said and done, the virtues of the early Texans far more than compen- sated for their short-comin, and their heroisn might, like charity, cover a mul- titude of sins - FIELD AND Raise What You Use, Correspondence Kansas Farmer: There are few sections of the country where if the proper pains are taken nearly or quite everything used in the famly can not be raiscd on the farm, and in a great yrity of cases much cheaper than the same quality can be purchased in mar- ket. Many farmers do without or else use a small quantity of different varieties of farm products that if rmsed and used would not only be cheaper but healthier. The farmer and his family must live, and it requires a certain amount of food to do this. If itis not raised on the farm 1t must be purchased, and in buying you pay three or four prolits that you could save if your d them yourself. A good garden truck pateh, small frait lot and orchard, with poultry, will go a waystoward keeping the tamily sup- plied with something to eat, and with proper care they will be equa al it not su- perior to the ge that will be pur- chased 1n market, and in addition they will be tresh It requires a little care in ARM, selecting good varicties in order t a rm'u[uqu cession can be secured, and if you are raising for family consunmotion, two or three plantings may be necessar, In addition, gencrally it is well at the same time to have a sufficiency over and above what is needed for family use to store for winter. There 1s quite a list of vegetables and fruits that are not only valuable for im- medinte use, but with alittie care can be stored and kept for use until a new crop comes in., Fruits and vegetables are much health- ier than too much bread and meat, and when they can be raised on the farm are much cheaper; and this, with the eggs and poultry, would reduce the amount of meat and flour required consider: Small fruits can be raised as cheaply as potatoes or corn. Many of the g vegetables, like cabbage, beets salsify, carrots, celery and tha plants that are raised for use llunm: the winter, can be planted in long rows and dave nearly or quite all the “eultivation done with the cultivator. Very little hand-hoeing will be necessary if the soil is thoroughly prepared and the cultiya- tion be commenced as soon as possible after the plants come up. Keep clean and stir the soil sufficiently to keep mel- low, so thata good growth can be se- cured. In some cases it will be best to have some early and sgome late varieties, in order that the supply will come in some what lier. With potatoes, mola beans and dried and canned fruits, ther is no difticulty in keeping from one year until the ne: And every farmer can raise them cheaper than it is possible or- dinarly to purchase. In this respect the farmer is more independent than any one else.

Humbugs. There is a deal of humbugin the breed- ing of fancy poultry, says a w riter in tho Fancier'’s Gazette. © How many brec are there that mate their birds ace uu(m" to any defined rules whatever as to w hat will produce what? Among many with whom I have personally come in eontauct, some of them having a large business, ubying extensive grounds and build s, there were few indeed who had any em or rule to govern them in mating and breeding; they seemed to rely upon picking up a bird somewhere to head their yards, when the time came to mate up their breeding pens. This wu he case when stock of their own raising proved inferior, which generally hap: pened. Isit any wonder that the eggs and birds we buy of such breeders are so often poor? DI know of one such, who, having a greater demand for birds of a certain breed than he had in stock to satisfy, bought from all over the countr; from "l'uru Dick ana Harry,” bir s, “'good, bad 4nd indifferent,”” 10’ send to his customers. These are the reasons why buyers complain, and rightfully. 1t is breeders like these that throw a damp cloth over the whole busincss of wney poultry raising or the breeding of horoughbred fowls. **Uncle Isaac” has had more than his share of blows from breeders all over the country, but from none such blows as these fellows have though to strike him, yet, I dare say, he knows more in an hour about nating and brecding tha they will ever kuuw. Feed for Winter. Have a meal made in the following pro- portions: Thirty pounds of corn, fifteen pounds of oats, ten pounds of Iurh\, 1if- teen pounds of wheat bran; all_ground fine and well mixed together, Now, in feeding it scald it and add ginger or little cayenne pepper twice each week; add a dessert spoonful of sulphur for every twelve hens:at noon feed vegetables in some form; with corn and oats, corn and wheat or corn and barley, at four o'clock, this regular feeding with warm houses, furnished with open sheds, will secure you eggs 1n winter—more of them —and ‘those that will hateh in early spring. Pig Points, The hog is, properly handled, one of the most profitable pruduu: of the farm; but the most profitable products are, as a rule, the result of skilled care and in- telligent handling. He, then, who would secure the most and best, must devote his time and attenticn, his care and protee- tion, faithfully to his swine herd just much as to any er business of w be would muke a success, The farmer who s ut a number of swine should make it a poiat to huve them or one of the quick-growing breeds that will grow to medium and fatten between, say March and New ears, or earl He may find it profit- able to carry over winter those needed for brecding purposes. They will con- sume the .wastes about the house and barn so tnat the cost of keeping over the one or two needed for breeding pur- poses will be comparatively slight. But memory of pur gallant struggio for inde. | farrowed in the early spring and pushed right along from the start. The Suffolk, Essex and Berkshires are adapted to this method of growing and hucmnrz The Suffolks and Essex are of small frame with little offal, easy keepers, and of a uiet disposition, "Both they and the Ifi. rkshires can be bronght to 350 pounds within eight months of birth, I(ho-n that are to be fattened should be | | | » The Live-Stock Jonrnal says: “‘Men who erect stables with a projection over a side wall of the basement, under which they keep the manure, and ive the swine access to this as a sle vpmgy\l ace at night, or, for that matter, at any time, may as well erect a dead-fall, to be sprung when I y under. Sucha hot bed for g place should be fenced against as you would h'ur ¢ them from a pit hay- ing de damp at its bottom. Pigs and dums rise from such a place in the morn- ing coughing. Congestion of the bowe!'s, with mucous discharges, follows, or con' gestion of the lungs and a bronehial chronic cough comes as a natural conse- quence. We have had personal knowl- edge of many such of mismanage- ment, resulting as stated, in one of which a breeder lost two thousand dollars or more in value of breeding swine within a period of three months. Seasonable Hints and Suggestions, Cottonseed meal 1s _cheapening the cost of linseed meal. Every animal on the farm should be fed an allowange of linseed meal at least three times a week. Early lettuce m be started in hot beds or cold frames this month. Onions may be put in the ground (using sets) as early as the seasons opens. If there is a buzzing and roaring in a hive in the dead of winter there is some- thing wrong. Oats are the best gramns for calves in their tirst winter,and they have the best af- feet when well moistened before feeding. If swine are kept on the farm the best profits will be found in the finest breeds that run into matured meat the first y If farmers have storage for wieat corn, and do not need the money for it, we judge from we ecan guther, that they will do quite as well to hold on for awhile. A tablespoonful of phosphate of soda in the soft food of twelve hens will often prove .»\ullvm, and if given meat at the same time they may be induced to lay. Give the v and meat once aday. An ounce of meat is enough for one hen. Many eflorts to secure v):]_!s are due to of proper egg-producing food. In case of the sheep suffering from cold ck of food the wool will some- times stop growing, and when it starts again the place of starting and stopping will be distinetly marked on the fibre of the wool by a bad pla There is noth- ing like uniformly "uu condition, with no shocks given to the system of the sheep, for producing & uniform fibre and the best possible wool. For dairy purposes next summer pure cistern or spring water may now be frozen in cheap sheet-iron square vessels about ten inches deep. Freeze a few inches ata time and pour on more and more water until the vessels are full, Then invert them, pour a little hot water on the bottom, and when the ice ships out store 1t away in the ice-house in a com- fortable shape to get at, The sheep is' the poor man’s friend, says an exchange, and can winter on the stubble and straw that the farmer can not sell, and at the worst requires but Iittle gran. The ranchman, under able circumstances, becomes we ge tlocks, can submit to oceca- losses and’ still make handsome profits. Only in time of severe drou, or unusual severity in winter is his ital in danger. Winaow plants that appear to be yel- low and sickly are generally found to be suffering from too much water and too much insect. The former is geners ally the trouble in window plants. If the pots are badly drained the water does not get away, and for healthy plants the soil must dry rapidly. 1f the plant drie that it needs water twice a week, it is in a healthy condition. The plant should never have water when the soil is damp. No usc to grow perishable fruits and vegetables, like peaches, onions, celery, more than the family can consume, un- less you have acc a near market. It hardly ever p lip peaches to the large cities from way inland, except, per- haps, from southern scctions in order to catch the early trade. Work the home market for all it is worth. Stillit is al- wiys better to grow these articles in ex- cess of the home needs than not to grow enough. The surplus can always be put to some use. life of a worker bee is only 45 d ays. Estimating that losses of bees oceur from birds, spiders, stor ard other causes, the queen must be bu laying eggs n order to keep the number to the muximum. It 1s therefore best not to allow frequent swarming. This by cutting out the may be prevent queen cells. B, y allowing plenty of room in the hive there will be less inducement to swarm. A strong colony is better than two weak ones. By carefully -declmg lambs for breed- mg purposes from the most pro ewes an English shepherd raisc ambs from 400 ewes, after deducting all lambs tost. If our farmers would do likewise there is no doubt that in a few years the average tlocks would contain ewes that produce twins and triplets instead of single lambs. The experiment has been tried repeatedly and always with suceess.
