It is sometimes asked where General
Grant got his military genius. 1t was
simply part Of his nature. God gave
it TO him. Almost by intuition it may
be said that he knew what should be
done in an emergency. Some men have
TO study vely hard in order 10 learn a
certain thing; others will learn it easily
and naturally. Grant could go on the
field and post line of battle in 20
minutes, while another military man
who had been a hard student might
take day or two to do the same thing.
| regard General Grant as one of the
best all around soldiers that ever lived.

Grating Grapes.

Cultivated grapes are often grated ON
wild ones. They grow just as well, or
better than when on some other culti-
waited one. the wild ones usually being
more vigorous. The grating is done
early in spring, before the buds start.
The scion is inserted just below the
surface OF the ground. The superhuous
shoots should be cut away from bear
ing grapes, and the shoots that are
bearing punches should be shortened
into two leaves above the bunch. Better
sized berries result.-Practical Farmer.
