1t has come to light that in 1863, while Gen.
Halleck was Gene,al in Chief, he wrote to the
various commanders in the field, offering
major generalship to him who would win the
first victory. Gen Rosecraps wrote back this
spirited answer:
General-You of the lst instant, amour
cling the offer of vacant major generalship to
the General in the field who first wins an m-
portant and decisive victory, is received AS

an auctioneering of honor. Have we a Gen
eral who would fight for his own personal ben
eft, when he would not for honor and his
country? He will come by bis commission
basely in that case and deserves to be despised
by men Of honor. But are all the brave and

Winter Care Of Stock.

Every intelligent and thrifty farmer I'M
dersiands perfectly we'll the Importance of
properly caring for his stock during the
winter months. While il is a true saying
that stock well-wintered is midsummer
ed, it is equally true that stock coming to
the barn in the fall in good condition and
good heart, can be winrered much more
cheaply than that which comes in poor
condition. It is almost impossible for
the most skillful manager to bring an ami
NAL from low to fair or high condition
on hay alone the usual feed for young
cattle, sheep and colts during winter-but
if in good state, Of health and flesh on
the approach of winter, with suitable
amount and quality of hay, their condition
may and should be kept good, and the
the young stock growing until the season
for turning again to grass. This can only
be done by careful and regular feeding,
good, pure water, and suitable shelter
from the most inclement weather during
the winter months of our northern eli
mate. Variety of food is very essential
to the thrift OF most animals, while it is
too often disregarded by those having care
of them. No good breeder will overlook
this most important matter.
Roots, such as turnips, carrots, Sc,
can be produced in great abundance upon
almost any farm in the country, and are a
very greal help to exc out short supply
of hay, while they are of the greatest ad
vantage to almost any kind Of farm stock.
At the present high price of all kinds OF
grain there are but few farmers who will
feed it, especially to cattle or sheep. Its
place may be supplied in a great measure
by roots, and that farmer is wise who has
land in good quantity for winter feeding
A little corn in this way will, o(tenlimes.
save whole tlocks and herds from diseases
incidental to insufficient keeping or want
Of change in feed.
Young animals particularly should be
well fed and cared for through the first
winter Of their existence. II is too often
the case that calves, colts and lambs are
neglected and left to shift for themselves
the first winter, and as consequence are
barely able TO get from the barn to pasture
in the spring. In this condition it takes
almost the entire grass season TO recover
what strength and flesh they have lost
during the winter, for want Of that care
and comfort which common humanity
would seem to dictate. The most sue
cessful breeders and stock raisers give the
utmos. attention TO their young animals
through their first winter, and are sure
thai they have good shelter, he Best Of
food, and abundance of pure waller all the
time. Their growth should at no time be
checked for want of attention to these i'm
poriant considerations.
While every branch of hushapdry re-
quircs the closest and most careful atten-
ton of an interested and skilful manager,
none suffers for want of it so much as
stock during the winter season.-.4meri-
