When Grant was appointed brigadier general and ordered to Cairo to “take command, Col. Oglesby was acling in that capacity. The latter had » received notice of the appointment from the war department, and 'was advised that the new general was on his way south, relates the American Tribune. A day or _so° after the colonel was seated at his desk, busily writing. In-the room were several officers chatting together in subdued tones. The chief of staff entered and announced the arrival of Grant. The colonel noddeds and went on writing; evidently he had aot understood the officer. Presently a man dressed in a plain soldier’s blouse, slouch hat in hand. and nondescript trousers, sauntered in, remarkable for nothing untess it was for a generous quantity of dust on his clothes, a stubby, reddish beard, @ keen gray eyve, and a balf-consumed cigar clinched between

It was dated “Headquarters, ®» (airo,” and signed “U. S. Grant, Brizadier General, commanding,” etc. Col. Oglesby rose and walked around the stable, never removing his eyes from . it, and finally burst forth with: “Well, you are Grant? Why, I thought yon were some one's orderly, and was

near ordering you out a moment ago.” -Then turning, “Gentlemen, our ehief, Brig. Gen. Grant.”

CONFEDERATE SHINPLASTERS. A Good ’Mx_uly of the Southern Banknotes Are Still Lying Around Gl the (.‘buntry.° 3 “The ' Star’s story the other day,” caid a member of one of the Georgia posts, relates that Washington paper, “*about a sword whieh had been found in a hollow tree being sent to the Washington. manager of the Associated Press, together with some confederate money and other_things. rfeminds me that there is a good deal of old " confederate money and- state money - lying . around in out-of-the-way places yet. Not many months ago I bought a lot of old furniture, and in the lot was an old desk, a very fine piece of werk. In having it overhauled I found a gecret dratwer and in it were a number of old notes, checks and several packages of 50 and 25-cent Georgia shinplasters, just as they came from the bank, and in packages of $5O, numbered consecutively. I suppose there was fully $l,OOO in small shinplasters, and it had remained in that old desk undisturbed for more than a quarter of a century.

' FORAGERS AT WORK. The Men Somectimes Were Alsent from Their Companies for : . > Weeks at a Time. 3 “The thing that most interested me.,” said the adjutant, according to the Chicago Inter Ocean, “was the unswerving loyalty of even the most reckless foragers to their commanders and to the arlh_y as an army. In hundreds of cases on the march_ to Savannah ug{)d on the longer march of 425 miles from there to Goldsboro, men were absent from company roll call for several days in succession. At first this absence caused a great deal of irritation, but as the march proceeded it was found that such men were far in advance, taking care of themselves and devoting themselves zealously to the interests of the army. Sonietimes they were 20 or |3O miles from their companies. They had forged ahead under the soldierly impulse of doing the best they could and had been carried beyond their own plans of the morning. Sometimes they were surrounded by the enemy and had to fight their way out. At other times they were in hiding and could not report until the enemy was driven away. : “Again having learned the location

of heavy supplies of forage and provisions, they were keeping watch that the supplies might not be carried off by the confederates. In one case 1 remember a party of a dozen men took possession of every vehicle in a neighborhood and met the advance regiment of their brigade with wagons, carts and old family coaches loaded with- supplies. In another case when Gen. Howard was deploying a division to capture an important railway five miles away a bummer rode up to report that a squad of foragers had already captured the road. and wanted him to 'burry mnp. Wherever the foragers were, they were, in their own language. ‘workin’ for Uncle Sam.’ '

“This meant that they were doing whatever came to their hand’ in the service of -the government. If they had cared to desert or to shirk duty, opportunities were open to them in every direction, but in nod a =single case in our division did any forager who escaped the enemy’s bullets fail to report to his company. Many 'of them were punished for missing roll calls. ‘Not a few of them were marked on the 1:3115 as absent without leave, but they accepted punishment and scoldings in good spirit, saying that a man who was working for Uncle Sam. could not be particular.

“In one case, one of our men was absent for over two weeks and the conclusion was that he had been killed in some skirmish or that he had taken Freuch leave. But in the end it appeared that one of his squad of foragers had been severely wounded and that he had remained with his wounded aequaintance until the lat-

ter was well .enough to be moved, when he carried him to the road along which he knew the union troops were passing and reported all the circumstances to the commanding officer of the regiment. This officer in due time made report to our own regimental commander and the soldier who had been marked ‘absent without leave’ was received by his comrades as a ‘bully bov.” )

“Sometimes,” said -the sergeant, *the regulation bummer was in the rear. He seemed to know when the confederate cavalry would attempt to cut in between brigades, and he was nearly always ‘just foolin’ round’ whenever anything of that kind -happened. Often a bummer on a mule would give notice of a movement to

USEFUL TREE INDEED.

Its Pith Is Being Used as a Cattle and Sheep Feed by Farmerw in the : Antipodes. :

We herewith reproduce from the Australasian a cut of the "bottle tree,” which is now being used as fodder in Australia. According o some reports only the pith of -the tree is used as feed; according to others all of the tree inside the bark is edible for cattle, and the branches also are utilized in this way. We quote from a Brisbane (Queensland, Australia,) paper: The value of the bottle tree as fodder for stock dur-

ing times of drought has bee: brought under the notice of the ag ricultural department by Mr. E. Bow man., of Bauhiniavale, Taroom. H states that a trial was first made b

Mr. Bowman was cutting down a tree for the leaves, when the sheep began to run after the chips, and so the tree was opened up with the result, he says, that every ]w‘ad of stoek ‘*“went mad over it.” Mr. Bowman, although he has no grass, has bought 900 merino ewes on the strength of 'the discovery. Lambs eat it as well as the old sheep. An instance is given of a 15-year-old pet wether, without a tooth, growing fat since eating the tree. Any kind of stock will eat the wood after a little use of it. Mr. Bowman considers that it will soon be carried on the railway at fodder rates. 'He stated that cows which were almost drv from want of condition are now

not only fat and strong, but are giving a good!yield of milk. Bottle trees often contain from 50 to 100 tons of fodder. . There are plenty of bottle trees within easy reach of the railways. Mr. Bowman believes that hundreds of stock can be saved with it. The trees will keep for months in the log with the bark on. The tree is allied to the Gouty stem tree (Adansonia Gregorii), being thickened below, tapering upwards, or often swollen in' the middle to the extent of 30 to 40 feet in circumference, with an apparently small tree growing out of its apex, so that it has been compared to the neck of a bottle. The gouty stem is sofr and porous. and contains much muailaginous ,gum, which is readily obtained by pressure, and is used as an article of food by the natives. [t is also called barrell tree.

Profit in Large Flocks. If a man can make a° reasonable profit out of ten hens, and there can be no question but what he can, there iy n® reason why he cannot make 100 times as much out of a thousand hens, provided he gives them the same care and attention. Few, however, are prepared to do this, and it is for this reason that so many failures occur with a greater number.. With large range, a few hens will take care of themselves and make up for a good deal of neglect that would prove fatal to success with a large number That there is money in poultry no one can doubt, but to get the most out of it one must have experience and learning sufficient to enable him to use feed, labor and all to advantage.—O. P. Bennett, in Farmers’ Keview, :

Thoroughbred and Secrab. In point of feed it costs less to maintain and mature-a thoroughbred or high grade steer than a scrub; no more space for shelter is required for the one than the other, but the one of good blood can be put intc marketable shape earlier, presents a better appearance and commands a higher market price than the scrub. And aside from a consideration of relative financial results there is a great deal more pleasure in caring for neat, compact, thrifty and handsome cattle than there is in “conaxing” a lot of angular, secrawny, coarse-haired serubs.—C. R. Gentry, in %alist. : ‘ - Keep thel Hens on the Go. Egg-cating might 'be called the trick of an idle hen. Male birds seldom, if ever, learn to eat eggs, and hens that are compelled to work hard all day for their food seldom contract the eggeating habit. If better care weregiven the liens all over thg;*untry the waste that goes on would pay the debt of one state a year, if it could be saved. Thousands that die might be. saved; many tons of food that are now wasted could be saved, and so many eggs are frozen, eaten by hens, and lost under barns and outhouses, that if saved would' make us rich.~~Midland Farmer. - Warm Water for Poultry. _ A good way to give the poultry water in the winter is to get a five-galion ofl can with a faucet éar the bottom. Fill it with water and set it on the stove unti teris rather warm. Then wrap? ‘in old biankets or a piece of ol d set it on a block in the.p e. Turn the faucet so it wil but not run astream, putti nder to catch the drip.

WHAT AILS THE PIGS?

A Question That Cannot Always Be . Answered to the Satisfaction . of Anxious Inquirers.

Pigs get out of fix and it is usually through some disarrangement of the stomach. There are some general rules that should be observed at!all times for the purpose of protecting the health of the herd. A profitable hog that is reudyzxnd eager to eat must, therefore, be a healthy hog. A great deal of the trouble with pigs and hogs is occasioned by constipation. This is the beginning of their troubles that later are not so easily removed, says American Swineherd.

It is’ therefore one of the first things in looking after your hogs’ health to prevent constipation. Of course, a hog may be all fight in the bowels and yet become afflicted. But it is the exception and not the rule. It takes vigilance at all times to preserve the health of the hog. Adopt cleanly methods about the pens and feeding troughs. Have a dry place for them to sleep in. Don't expose ithem to draughts in their sleeping quarters. Don’t overfeed. Don’t make sudden ehanges of feed. Give them charcoal and ashes or charred cobs. Spread lime around their sleeping quarters and feed troughs. When a pig is off his feed there is something wrong, and you want to get him back there as quick as possible. Don’t do it by trying to force him to eat. On the other hand, take away his feed and if constipated give him a physic. ILook out for worms, prevent lice, provide him with plenty of fresh water, plenty of salt and ashes, plenty of range and if he gets sick the percentage of exceptions are small.

The sick hog is an unprofitable hog. If you doctor him it costs money, it costs time and it causes loss of gain in the hog. 1t takes a great deal. of extra feed to get him started again to the point where his health failed him. Therefore it is far beﬂ()x" to spend a little time in preventing these ailments by careful watchfulness, -

- THE CRY FOR BONE. To Improve Hogs Along This Line Care in Feeding and Judicicus . Treatment Are Necessary. We hear a heap about bone in hogs, and it may be wdrth while to think a little about it. If some of those who write about more bone and how to get it-would think a little more their articles would not mislead so much. We are told over and over, says the National Stockman, and many people actually believe, that the modern hog is ‘“deficient ‘in bone.,” and that we must turn to some big, coarse-boned strain to correct this defect. v There are two kinds of deficiency in bone. One is a lack of quantity and the other is a lack of quality. There are few domestic animals that have too little bone, but there are many that have too weak bone. The way to improve the bone is not to breed to increase its size but to feed -to increase it's stremgth. In so dong the size will be increased somewhat. Rational care will also do much to improve the quality of bone. The brood sows dnd the sire should have plenty of exercise, they should be fed wellbalanced foods, they should have access to the earth or to substitutes therefore. With this kind of treatment there is little danger of raising a hog without bone enough to support all the meat he ought to carry. And with this kind of treatment the modern American type-—the best that has vet been produced from both the producer’s and the killer’s standpoint—can be preserved. A violent cross*for bone is not necessary for the man who will study the feeding and care cof hogs. ! ?

The Horse and His Feex. : Each time the horse comes into the stable the feet should be lifted and cleaned out with a hook. Where this is done there will be far fewer casés of nail prick, for it is a very common thing for a nail to lie alongside of the frog, or in the cleft, doing no harm until the horse happens to tip the nail in pawing; then it is stepped upon and the mischief - is done. This practice also saves horses from becoming troubled with “thrush,” for the disease is noticed at its inception and is then easily cured by application of calomel and the more careful cleansing of the stable.~Rural World. : KVliere the Profit Comes In. ; 1f it takes 20 bushels of corn to the acre to pay the expenses of raising a erop, and we raise but 20 bushels per acre, we are not making any headway, But every bushel we raise above the 20 bushels per acre is that much more to be added’?he profit side of the ledger.

Often I was sick to the stomach, and every little while I would be too sick to go to work, for three or four days; I work in a large store, and I suppose standing on my feet,all day made me worse. . ““ At the suggestion of a friend of my mother’s I began to take Lydia E.

The Seaboard Air Line Railway, of Portsmouth, Va., is advertising a beautiful, but comparatively little known, region on the West Coast of Florida in three booklets called *‘The Land of Manatee.” They are issued by the Seaboard, but can scarcely be termed a railroad advertisement, as the only mention of the road is in a brief and modest note printed on the inside of one of the cover pages. They are, in fact, a description of Manatee County, Florida, with some account of its history and its many interesting features which will appeal equally to the general reader, the investor, the fruit and vegetable grower, and to the tourist and sportsman. The author is Mr. Morton M. Cassaday, 'a writer of experience. The beauty of the Manatee ‘country is well deseribed, and the marvelous fertility of the soil and equally wonderful healthfulness of the climate are told of in a way to leave no doubt in the reader's mind. Manatee county must be the garden-spot of all Florida, and the wonder is that it has not sooner been settled and the latent riches of its soil turned into good American dollars. A most charming feature of these booklets is their typographical appearance. They are printed on hand-made paper, and are delightfully illustrated with = photographic half-tone plates and ornamented with decorative designs in flat monotones that make them really valuable brochures. Persons interested in Florida, and especially in the possibilities of orange growing and truck gardening below the frost line, will find these booklets not only interesting, but full of valuable and practical information. They may be had from representatives of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, or upon application to the General Passenger Agent, Portsmouth, Va. . ;
