gradually told his old comrade his
story. He blamed no one but him
sell, and all he wanted was a chance
to redeem the past-just one chance.
III l can get that change for you
! VIII, SAM" answered the captain.
"l'll try TO get you commission"
a few days later the chance arriv-
ed, News reached Springfield that
Gen. Polk was on his way to Cairo
with 10000 men. The war depart
ment directed that ever available
man be sent to the front at once.
There were 5000 men in camp. The
captain reported to the governor
that he was ready to muster in three
regiments. Uniforms and arms had
been issued that morning. Nothing
but the mastering in and the making
out OF the commissions for the field
officers remained to be done.
Governor, whom are you going
to appoint colonies and lieutenant.
colonies OF these new regiments?' in
quired the captain. II must ask be-
cause if the news be true these regi-
ments will be led into battle by those
officers in Iorty-eight hours"
The room was full of candidates
tor these positions, and they listened
uneasily to the reply.
by Jove! l don't want my
troops destroyed because their Off
GERS are unframed" answered the
governor. Have you any suggest
ions to maker"
II have in my Office" said the mus
tering officer, IAN old soldier. He
was at West Point with me and also
served through the Mexican war.
He knows his business. ] recon-
mend him tor a commission as colonel
or lieutenant-colonel OF one OF these
regiments"
: II will give your friend the COM
mission of colonel of the Twenty
frst regiment upon your recommend
alton. Make out his commission,
said the governor, turning to his ad-
jutant-general.
What is his name, captain?"
Ulysses S. Grant" said the cap
tain.
Half an hour later the captain laid
on the desk in front Of his clerk, Sam
Grant, his commission as colonel of
the Twenty-6rst regiment of Illinois
volunteers, saying:
Here's your chance, Sam"
And so it was. The rest is history.

THE BEST COW.

Mr.. E. P. Powell, at a recent Penn.
sylvania institute, said that to find
the best COW one must put a pair oil
scales in the stable and weigh every
cows milk for at least year, and
weed out the poor COWS; enter each
cows name on big sheet of paper
ruled into columns, and enter each
day each cows weight of milk. You
will find many surprises-the COW
you thought among the best may
prove to be among the poorest. One
COW in his stable he thought his best
the scales told him cost him 80 cents
for each pound of butter while a
poorer cow, as he supposed, made
him butter at cost of only IA cents.
He gave illustrations from Cornell
station, showing results of different
cows, showing most astonishing diff
fereuces il the product of different
COWS.
The scales are simple and sure
test and worth everything to any
man who really wants his dairy to
pay. Don't let a poor COW eat up
the profits of a good one-two cows
that pay are better than twenty not
paying.
A COW should give at least 5000
pounds to 10000 of milk year,
and 800 to 400 pounds of butter.
The above is from the New Eng,
land Farmer, and in the statements
made shows most conclusively the
value of weighing the milk from each
COW for year, in order to find out
the yield. This of course will deter
mine the quantity of milk given, but
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1895-03-29

in addition to this the milk should
b. tested TO find out the amount OF
butter fat contained.
With both OF these there will be no
trouble in finding OUT what cows it
will pay 10 keep and those that
should be disposed Of. 1t is true a
little time and work will be required,
but it will be found TO pay III the
end
Farmers should not decide in the
matter without some conclusive
evidence. For instance one mans
milk may be found to test considera-
bly, lower than another's, but his
cows may give enough more milk to
make up Tor this difference. In such
cases as this the average sales per
cow for each dairy at the end of each
month will be pretty good rule 10
go by SO far as dairy is concerned.
Some dairies hardly ever reach or
90 above the average test or price at
a creamery, yet the monthly sales
will show good record. When this
is continued through the season the
owner may be well satisfied with the
returns, as compared with others,
and see no reason for making any
radical change in his dairy-that is,
from one herd or kind to another.
All will see the Importance ofimprov-
ing their herds as tar as they can by
judicious selection and better feed
and care.
A uniform flow of milk through
the season is very desirable, as some
cows give large flow for a while
but soon slow up and go dry early.
Such cows are unpro6table.

WHERE THE BEST HORSES ARE
FOUND.

The best driving and carriage hors-
es come, think, from Maine and
Vermont, being tougher, as a rule,
than the Kentucky horses, and no
less intelligent. High steppers, tor
the most part are natives OF Maine or
OF Canada. Western horses, espe-
cially those from Indiana, Iowa, and
Ohio, are corn-ted and soft; and they
often lack that quality" which the
Kentucky horses derive from the
thoroughbred strain in their blood.
The best huuters-perhaps the best
combination" saddle and harness
horses-come from the Genesee valley,
where there is great deal of good
blood and where real fox hunting is

the Century for March.

4 Successful Way to Mine.

We note the formation of mining company in London, England, with a capital of s250,000, organized for the purpose of searching for. purchasing or leasing. or joining in the purchasing or leasing of mining properties and conces. sions in various parts of the world {" Mining men even of limited expensnce cannot but commend such an enterprise and can readily perceive wherein com pany properly managed, would soon be on dividend paying footing. It has been fully demonstrated here in Montana, not only by the American Developing and Mining Comp panv. but by many, and in fact nine.tenths of the successful min. | ing men in the west today, that the most profit does not lie in the purchase of de. veloped mines, but that it Is more pro. ftable to acquire mining claims, par tially developed and showing merit. The policy adopted by the principal heavy operators in the mining industry in this section, is 10 acquire lease and bond for stipulated price and time. and ex. pending funds in developing the same. Of course every prospect taken hold of does not prove successful, but it is never iheless true that one success will pay tor many failures.
 IL Is one of the greatest fallscies for eastern capitalists to seek for developed prooerties in community like Butte, where the big companies are annually expending large sums of money in pros. pecting work seeking for new lodes.
 There are grand opportunities for min ing and developing companies such AS that organized in London recently. There is no derth of good prospects to operate upon, but the developed mine that can be purchased at reasonable price is about as hard 10 find as needle wonld he in hsystaek.-M. X NJ. Reporter.
