Heavy Firing IN Front of the 9Th Corps
Rumored Battle,


Information from the Army Of the Potomac
to March 23d, says good deal OF firing has
taken place the past two days on the lines OF
the 9th corps.
The enemy opened it on some OF our working
parties, as we'll as at the Avery House signal
station and the railroad trains, but SO far have
done no injury. -.r.
Picket firing on the same portion Of the line
is kept mp constantly at night, mainly intended
to prevent assertions.
The rebels still refuse to exchange Richmond
papers.
A rumor prevailed in the army on Wednes-
day that fight had taken place between Gen.
Ord's army and the enemy on Tuesday, but
there Is no foundation for it. The troops were
being drilled in breaking camp and packing
up, which probably gave rise to the story.
Nineteen deserters came in last night in front
OF the first division Of the 9th corps.

Young Stock.

Calves ana laiahs, we'll treated, will make
better COWS aud sheep than if neglected and
allowed to shift for themselves. We know
that sheep inprovea good deal. both in
wool and mn;ton, on good keeping. The
same is especially the case with calves.
What You want is not to fattcn, but keep
up strong, healthy growth. At this sea-
son. good. tender grass aud a little milk. no
lnatterifit is not all sweet. and little oat
meal mixed in, will pay for itself in the
thrifty growth which it will induce. A lit
tie extra care at this period of growth.is
sure to be rewarded at later age. The
treatment of calves which we have often
seen, such as turning them out TO grass be-
fore they are old enough, and requiring
them to eat what they know little about, or
die, is cruel and wastetul i'll the extreme.
There is no economy in neglecting Young
stock. They may live thro' 1t, but nature
will dem md her reckoning. The same
may be said of colts. Sweet. pure pasture
grass is the best, but if this is short. a lit
tie oat meal is excellent for them. Oats
make muscle rapidly, and this gives strcgth
and po yer, and growth and this is what
all young stock needs to thrive upon. 1t
lisa great mistake to keep any stock short
of feed, but especially young growing
stOck.

Effect Of Bone Dust.

n Westbury, Vt subscriber of the NeW
Eagland Farmer thus writes about the cf-
feet of bone dust:
see a great deal in Your paper about
the use OF bone dust or -four. ! have
thought a good many times would give
YOU a little of my experience in that mat
ter. In 1914 lived in house of an in
dependant farmer. aud planted about three
f0urths OF al mere OF earn on "a pine PLAIN.
That farmer had been for mftny years gath
ering all the old bones he could find
Thatspring he carried them to a plaster
mil and got them ground. He gave me a
peck of the flaar, which | put ON e-half
of my piece Of corn. 1t had wonderful
effect. The stalks grew foot taller than
on the other half, and were darker colored,
and the ears were from two to four inches
longer. The difference through the sea-
son was such that the passers by often
called me to know what made the differ
elce. ! could only tell them that dry
bones did it. The farmer experimental
with 1t by putting bone on two rows, plas-
terrell Paris on the adjoining two. house
ashes on the next two, then two with moth
ing but the manure, which was applied a
Ike, to the whole field. Tins contrasted,
the effect was wonderful. am not able
tn give the difference in the yield of corn
when harvested, as it has been so long that
] have forgotten; hut do remember very
plainly how the corn looked when growing
and that there was u very great difference
in the appearance of the rows experiment
