1t concerns distinguished officer who
was constantly embracing some. new
hobby, much to the disgust of his
brother officers and to the annoyance
of the soldiers on whom the hobbies
frequently involved extra duty. His
latest fad was amateur gardening. One
day he was strolling past the officers
quarters, when he saw couple of SOL
diers busily raking a lot of gravel
stones over a patch of earth. "Ah,
men, I'm glad to see you taking an in
terest in gardening. It's very nice
occupation" One of the men, not know
ing him by sight, replied: mice, is it?

FRIENDLY FOES.
How an Illinois and Tennessee Regiment
Fraternlzcd.

Fraternized.
1--WE were never in front of the enemy
long without knowing exactly what
regiment was face to face with u.s." said
Capt. McGrath, late of the Fifty-second
Illinois, but now connected with the
post office in Chicago. sometimes the
relations between the two opposing
lines became so friendly that while
a hot fire was going on elsewhere not
shot was exchanged at that point.
The most notable instance of this in
my experience occurred with reference
to the Third Tennessee regiment of the
confederate army, which had been re-
cruited in and around Pulaski, Tenn.
1--WE had, earlier in the war, had an
opportunity of showing considerable
kindness to this same regiment and re-
ceived from them a written expression
of their appreciation. Later on our
regiment took possession of Pulaski.
The place was deserted apparently.
Everybody was lying low and our re-
ception was of the chilliest. AS soon,
however, as the silent citizens learned
that it was the Fifty-second Illinois
that had occupied their town they came
TO us with open hands and hearts. We
never had such time. They could not
do enough for US, and when the order
came to move on, we parted from them
with the utmost regret on both sides.
eff you come across any of our boys,
they said, as we left them, you must
give them all the news
1--WE little thought how soon these
words were to be recalled.
"Outside of Atlanta few weeks later
the confederate pickets in front made
the inquiry: Hello, Yanlls, what regi'
Inent are you"
"'We are of the Fifty-second Illinois,
Johnny was the reply.
"'What regiment did you say?' ives
the immediate query.
And when we repeated the informa-
tion there was cry of delight. BY a
strange chance we once more had the
Third Tennessee for neighbors. We were
able to tell them about some of their
loved ones and to regale them with a
fund of home gossip. Our relations be-
came so intimate that we almost for
got that life and death struggle was
going on. 1t was agreed between US
that as long as we were together not
shot should be fired and in case either
regiment should be moved it should i'm
mediately give notice to the other.
zone morning the Tennessee mems
pickets called out to us: 'Good-by. We
are ordered on the march. Look out
for yourselves
And our friends passed on" - St

FARM AND GARDEN.
EooNoMlzINe FOOD.
Early Winter is the Worst Time to Re-
dmce Cnttle RntiOns.

Early Winter Is the Worst Time to Re-
duce Cattle Rations.
While it does not pay to ever put
live stock on short rations, If it is to be
done at all let it be at any other time
than the early winter. The animal is
machine for converting some portion OF
his coarse food into finished products,
and his energy in conversion depends
very largely upon his physiological con-
dition as well as upon his constitutional
power.
These facilities of theirs to produce
the materials we desire are natural to
be sure, but they have been greatly eX-
nggerated by domestication, full feed
and good care. But the animal has also
himself to look out for, and it is II nat
ural law that under circumstances of
distress everything else stops that the
vital processes may go on. That is, that
under hard conditions these extra ac-
tivities stop, and we get little product
from the animal.
But what difference does it make at
which end of the winter this shortening
of rations comes, if it be to come at all :?
Much, and for the reason that sudden
and violent changes are disastrous,
physiological conditions considered. If
they corIe to us gradually we can ac-
custom ourselves TO things that, if sud-
, denly brought upon us, would prove
fatal.
AS the animal goes into winter quar-
ters all his habits of life are changed,
and changed suddenly. He goes from
green feed to dry; from uniformly
warm weather into great extremes of
cold and heat; from the free atmos-
phere of the field to the close air of the
stable, if he be lucky enough to get the
stable. Their powers of resistance and
adaptation are severely tried. If he
now also suffer diminution of food his
resources are cut off, and if his arri-
ficially developed faculties in self-de-
fense cease to act, they will be slow in
deed to resume their activities.
The reverse policy is pursued by care
| full stoclimen who seek to make the
change from autumn to winter as light
as possible, and by extra feed and care
to fortify the animal against more or
less distressing circumstances. The
change from winter to spring and sum-
mer is not only into increasingly bet
ter conditions, but the changes are
marked by less violence.-Farmer S

During the Conflict.
AS the general felt that he could be
found more readily, and could issue his
orders more promptly, from the central
point which he had chosen for his head
quarters, he remained there almost the
entire day. He would at times walk
slowly up and down, but most of the
day he sat upon the stump of tree,
or on the ground, with his back leaning
against a tree. The thread gloves re-
manned on his hands, lighted cigar
was in his mouth almost constantly,
and his penknife was kept in active use

one small twig after another, and some
times holding the small end away from
him would rapidly shave it down to a
point; at other times he would turn the
point toward him and work on it as if

cHoLERA-PRooF HOGS.
A Few of Them Can Be Found in Every
Average Herd.

n rev OF lhem San De tOunu IN Every
Average Herd.
We used to hear about breeds and
strains of hogs that were cholera proof;
we hear no more of them now, says
Wallace's Farmer. Nevertheless facts
abundantly testify that some hogs are
cholera proof. In some herds one or two
brood sows will go through a siege of
cholera, eating among the dead and dy-
ing, and remain in the most perfect
health and vigor, and occasionally, but
very seldom, we hear of some whose
litters are equally cholera proof. We
would not say that these animals were
worth their weight in gold, for that
would be stretching it, but they are
worth more money than any man would
dare to ask for them, and should not be
sold under any circumstances short of
the entire loss of usefulness.
1t will usually be found that brood
sows that have had the disease and re-
cover will mot succumb to it on a second
visit. We therefore regard animals of
this kind as worth double .he usual
value in times like these. This matter
is of practical Importance just now.
The man may be considered happy
whose herds have been attacked in time
to allow the survivors to be put in the
best condition for breeding. 1t is ques-
tionable whether in fact the farmer has
sustained any real loss in tine line OF
brood sows if he has saved SO per cent.

Save these brood sows, and males like
