terics there would be 100 pieces of ar
tillery. Gen. Lew Wallace arrived with
1854 men and 10 pieces of artillery,
making in the army of Gen. Grant
total of 73 regiments of infantry and
90 pieces of artillery. Gen. ID. G. Buell.

who took part in this first great open
field battle of the west, with a fearful
loss on both sides.
Gen. U. S. Grant says of Shiloh: "No
such contest ever took place on this
continent; in Importance of results,
put few have taken place in the history
of the world" Again, in his Memoirs,
he says: "Shiloh was the most severe
battle fought in the west during the
war, and but few in the east have
equaled it for hard, determined fight
ing"
Gallant old Gen. George Fl. Thomas
said to Col. A. w. Willis: Shiloh was
the most decisive battle of the war"
Gen. D. G. Buell., commander of
| the Ohio at Shiloh, says: "The
battle of Shiloh was the most famous
and to both sides the most interesting
battle of the war, and l recognize no
battlefield of the war, all things con-
sidered, the lessons which it teaches
and its Importance in the contest, as
being more worthy to be preferred as
a memorial park than Shiloh" Gen.
John A. McClernand, who commanded
the first division under Gen. Grant at
Shiloh, says: ''Shilohf shielded the
northwest from invasion and turned
back the tide of war upon the Atlantic
coast. That field deserves to be dedi.

STALLS FOR DAIRY COWS.


An Excellent and Tested Arrangement
for Comfort and Cleanliness.
The dairy world has for ages been
experimenting upon hundreds of de-
vices which might In some manner add
comfort to the COW and at the same
time keep her absolutely clean in her
stall Just how successful dairymen
have been in accomplishing this diff
cult feat is only proven by personal In
spection of their cattle In few in
stances have they been able to get the
construction of their stables perfect so
that their cattle show it from their APP
pearance. 1t is exceedingly difficult,
indeed, to strengthen one weak point
without destroying the perfection of
another, and the only way to get any
thing that will prove satisfactory is by
experience.
No dairyman of experience will deny
that COW allowed to besmirch herself
with her own droppings can do justice
to her owner, through the pail. / have
seen stables where the owners were
using every plan and device that they
could practically get on to, to prevent
the cows from becoming unclean, yet
in spite of plenty of bedding, stan
chions, deep and shallow bitches, and all
manner of complicated managers, etc,
the cows were sights" looking more
like compost heaps, from their rear,
than herd of sleek, profitable kline
BY no means have l always been SO
successful as to boast at getting de-
sired results until more recent years.
At every opportunity afforded l have
examined COW stables and as often got
some good ideas from such observa-
tions, until finally have, think, full
ly accomplished the feat of construct
ing stable in which the COW is under
perfect control and is compelled to
stand so that her droppings must fall
directly into the ditch. She is made to
occupy that particular position and
cannot move any further forward; but
can of course move backward into the
ditch or even across it, if SO desired, by
making the tie-chain sufficiently slack.
The device can be best explained by the
accompanying illustration, which fully
demonstrates the plan of construction
The ideas are not all my own, but q
com bination of practical ideas procured
from others and so combined as to make

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
A TERRIBLE NIGHT.

The Trying ordeal of Young Boy Who
Wore the Blue.
1t was in the summer of 1858 that the
army of Gen. Banks had settled down
to its grim, long siege before the walls
OF Port Hudson, that occurred the try
ing nights experience which l will
here relate.
l was private in Company G, Fourth
Massachusetts, and was detailed for
sentry duty. The manner of holding
guard over the trenches of Port Hudson
was perilous in the extreme. The sol
dier so posted must lie fat above the
trench, his little bundle of twigs piled
crosswise before him as his only de.
fense. In the trench below piled all
night the negroes at the work of ex-
tending the trench. When a sortie
was made the sentry must discharge
his musket, tumble quickly into the
trench, and, with the negroes, retreat,
while the outer line got under arms.
With the corporal of the guard, had
seen each sentinel placed, and now
away at the right of the line had
come to my place of duty. The soldier
was to relieve was above us, with his
heels just beyond reach. But we knew
the point, and in a whisper the corpo-
raj said
This is the place. Climb up and re-
lieve your man"
All conversation had to be in whis-
pers. Only the ominous boom of the
cannon or sharp attendant crack of the
rife that followed broke upon the
night.
Iknew what that whispered order of
the corporal meant. We were neigh
bors at home, and knew that Chris
would never put me in the perilous posi-
tion alone if he could help it; for was
but seventeen the autumn before my
enlistment, but seeing men fall around
me in battle and dying in hospital had
made me older than my years, and to
know soldiers first duty was to obey.
/ climbed out of the trench into the
dark night crawled up to the side
of the watching sentinel. I placed my
hand upon him, shook and whispered
him to go back into the trench, but there
was no movement Again / tried to
rouse the watcher, but to no purpose.
1placed his hands in mine; they were
cold. The soldier guarding before Port
Hudson was dead.
The corporal had followed me, and
with his aid l rolled the dead soldier
from his place behind his little bundle
of twigs that to him had proved sc
faithless. The corporal grasped my
hand, and i was then alone.
Beside me was the dead man. He
and the stars were now my company
