The butter and milk product, from
all breeds Of cows may be increased by
judicious feeding. II is not to be ex-
pected that the milk OF the native cow
will be as rich rs that Of the Jersey, but
her yield can be made greater, and with
more profit by allowing her generous
rations. The breed is important, and

Offer no food until the bowels are

every three hours When a calf is

How . Shrewd Cat Finally Got tho hest Of
Queer Antagonist.
An Alabama cat, named Scrapper,
long the terror of all the other cats
and dogs in the neighborhood, recently
met his match in a turtle. Discovering
the queer creature taking a leisurely
promenade in the woods, Scrapper
leaped on it's back and clawed away a.
a lively rate. The turtle seemed to
rather enjoy the performance, so Scrap
per changed his tactics. He was not
long in discovering the place where
the turtles head came out, and he
sat down to watch that spot. Presently
the turtle peeped out to see If his ene-
my wss gone. Scrapper made grab and
missed. This was repeated three times,
and then the turtle, keeping his head
safely inside the shell, put out his feet
and started to crawl away. Then
Scrapper caught foot of the turtle
with his teeth and the fight began in
earnest. The turtle pulled and strug-
glcd, but finding itself being hauled
away, put out its head and, with quick
snap, caught one of the eats hind feet
in its vise-like jaws Scrapper pulled,
bit and scratched, and doubtless would
have called the fight off, but the turtle.
held on in unthinking triumph. Finally
Scrap.,cr secured a good hold ON the
turtles head and then the turtle would
have withdrawn if he could. Hut he
couldn't, and in Il short time the vic

CHAPTER A.-CONTINCED.
At two o'clock, it seemed indeed a
Confederate victory. But mid the
ringing shout Of triumph came the wall
ofgrief-Johnston was shot through the
leg by rifle ball, and none was near
with sense enough to stop the flowing
blood. Still the blue flag waved vic
toriously with Beauregard, sick him
self nigh into death, in the van.
And now Grant was at bay-thc con-
qucring foe before him. the river roll
ing on his rear.
But the stout heart never failed him,
and with logged determination he
rallied his men. Before the enemy
could reach them, they must cross q
deep ravine with slippery sides and a
bottom full of water.
Now was his chance.
As with Southern dash and bravery
they rushed to cross this treacherous
defile, Grant swept them with the frag-
ments Of his batteries, poured on them
the leadcn hail of musketry, while two
gun-boats rained shells upon the wav-
ing line, which literally melted away
before the whitening vollcys.
And now that cry-that wild hurrah!
The Fighting Fourth came shouting to
the field!
Night closed on the CHASTITY scene.
But what a night for Grant-his camps
gone, thirty flags and immense stores
in the hands Of the enemy, and three
thousand of his men prisoners of war.
But during the night change came
over the scene. General Lewis Wallace
with five thousand men and three
divisions of Buell's army had crossed
the stream, to the aid of the bcleaguered
Federals
And Monday morning dawned with
drizzling rain. No longer crouching
from a foe he could not grapple, Grant
gave the command to advance, and with
forward, and as Wallace says: step
by step, from tree to tree, position to
position, the Confederatcs went back,
never stopping again" In vain the
brave Beauregard rode to and fro be-
fore his troops, melting them to action;
the tide Of fortune had turned against
them. Yet, fighting to the last, they
fell back on Corinth, whose frowning
guns held Grants advance in check.
1t was dreary work that followed for
the next six weeks-digging trenches,
making corduroy roads and advancing
at the rate of half a mile day, with the
one envied luxury Of joining foraging
party now and then; for, though the
command was well provisloned, orders
were given to raid the country.
In charge of an expedition of this
character, Frank Besant had been un-
usually lucky, and was returning to
camp one evening when they came to a
comfortable farmhouse, whose neat
curtains and orderly out-houses prom

fortune had brought them.

and withdrew his forces southwark.

MILK PERIOD OF hElFERs.
Tho Proper Treatment for Encouraging
the MIX Habit.

Tho Proper Treatment for Encouraging
the MIX Habit.
How long a heifer should be MIXED
her first season is q question that has
much to do with the future milking of
the COW, says John Gould, in an ex-
change. The cow is now rs near an
artificial creature as she can we'll be.
In her native state milk-giving is re-
stricted to few weeks, and il left to
herself her milk habits drift back to the
original way as truly Ms do her habits,
form and conditions. The heifer in some
way has a tendency to dry of at about
one hundred days and the dairyman
now sees to it that she is we'll fed at
this time. and every induccment made
to have her give milk at least three
hundred days Heredity has done much
Il, eliminate this, but it Is even now OF
importance enough to guard against.
The other day man told me that he
had two heifers that were going to
drop calves at twenty-five months old,
and that he was going to dry them up
rs soon as he could, let them grow an
other year, and then they would be
good cows. (?) His better plan, told
him, was to generously feed those
hcifers, see If he could not control mat
tiers SO they would not drop their second
calves until they were thirty-six or
thirty-eight months old, and keep them
in milk full year and let them grow
on generous feeding, as a true COW can,
and not stifle the milk habit at the
start.-Orange Judd Farmer.
