PLAIN COMMON SENSE.
Really Nothing Else Is Required to
RnIse Healthy Calves Under
Ordinary Conditions.

In all my experience l never lost but
one young calf while it was sucking its
dam. That was many years ago when
Hungarian grass first put in an appear
ance with us, and the hay fed to the
COW killed the calf, writes "A contribu-
tor to Homestead. The milk caked in
the calf's stomach. My experience has
always been to restrict the feed of the
cow for two or three weeks before
calving, and if this is properly done
think there will, as a rule, be no scours
in the calf. The fatter the COW the
more care is necessary. l have had
COWS come in that were fit for The
butchers block, and have allowed the
calves to take all the milk they would,
and this, too, without harm to them.
When the COW is not on grass | feed
hay, and not too much with no grain
whatever for at least a week before
calving. | also give a little wheat bran
every other day for the sake of It's
regulating effect. Let the cow get a
little hungry at this time, and it will
not hurt her, while it will benefit the
calf. This way of feeding with me has
always got the COW and her milk in
such condition that the calf can have
all it wants of it, and l only take away
what is left. Sometimes the calf may
be little constipated and when this
is so feed more bran and all will come
right With me the question has not
been so much the quantity as the quail
ity of milk that makes the healthy
calf. l invariably leave the COW and
calf together for the first week or two.
During the month of May the COW
should be on the grass, but as calving
time draws near she should be in the
stable at night. In June. when the
grass should be at its best. look out for
milk fever. If you have lot where
the grass is short and not too plenti-
full, that is the best place for her. The
main idea that l would impress is
when the COW is fat and has been
fed high for about three weeks before
calving, the rich feed must be taken
away or scours in the calf will follow.
You may think it an epidemic or call
it what you will, but am satisfied this
is the cause that kills many calf and
what will kill one will kill more. / think
the idea here advanced applies to horses
and hogs as well. AS to the sheep, 1
know nothing about them.

AN AMERICAN NAPOLEON.
Interesting Anecdotes of Gen. Nathan
II. Forrest, n Rare Mill
tnry Genius.

Lord Wolseley, commander of the
English army, and Gen. w. r. Sherman
have said that had Gen. Nathan Bedford
Forrest received a military education
he would have been the greatest figure
of the civil war. After reading the BIZ
ography of the celebrated confederate
cavalry leader, which has been writ
ten by DIR. John a. Wyeth, it is easy
to understand why Forrest should be
so esteemed by all who are best quail
fed to judge.
Gen. Forrest was kecnly appreciative
of the necessity of giving his personal
attention to the smallest details con-
nected with his military operations in
order TO achieve success. He was not
content to accept reports from even his
most trusted and faithful subordinates,
but he made careful inspection of his
artillery, the harness and the condi-
tion of the animals, as we'll as the men,
and held his officers strictly accounta-
BILE for keeping his command supplied
with ammunition, forage and rations.
Nothing seemed to escape his careful
scrutiny When on the march, which
usually began at daylight, he would
take his place by the roadside and OBJ
serve regiment after regiment as they

Grants Brevity.

Gen. Grant was not much of a success
as a speechmaker, unless brevity is the
soul of wit. Shortly after noon on May
10, 1868, the Seventeenth Army corps,
part of Mc"herson's command, had
marched from early morning on scanty
rations and considered themselves very
badly treated. When Grant was seen
riding along call for something to eat
went up from the soldiers. Men" he
replied, drawing up his horse, "rations
are on their way from HaineA Bluff and
will be here by night" Tt.an he rode
on, but the boys in blue were more
grateful to him than if he had ha-
rangued them for an hour The story is
told of the time that Grant took COM
mand of the regiment of Illinois sol
diers who greeted their new colonel
with cries for speech. The reply was: (:

mount his horse and ride through the
column from rear to front.
If it were raining and he saw a cart
ridge box exposed TO the weather, the
delinquent need expect no mercy from
the commander. If in crossing a stream
a soldier permitted his ammunition to
get wet, he might consider himself for
tunate to escape with a reprimand. His
quick eye readily detected a lame or
tender-footed animal, or che that did
not seem to be well-fed or properly
cared for. A veteran of FORESTS COM
mand informed the writer that on one
occasion the general ordered him to
leave the ranks, remarking: why did
you let your horses back get sore?
Take your saddle off and let me see
what's the matter" On exposing the
animals back il was found to be chafed.
Forrest reprimanded him and dis
mounted to give him practical lesson
in the manner of rolling the blanket
so that the pressure wolld be taken
from the abraded surface. AS he rode
away the general remarked: You
must never again let ms see you rid
ing horse with sore back; there is
no need of it, a few days later the
general recognized the same trooper,
and also noticed that he had not fixed
the blanket as he had been instructed,
and, narrating the circumstance, the
trooper said: II did not get off SO
easily that time. The general gave
me -, but it taught me lesson ]

The precautions he took for the COM
fort and safety of his men were fully
appreciated and formed one of the
strong bonds of attachment between
the soldiers and their commander.
When they bivouacked for the night in
proximity to the enemy he never rest

felt the most implicit reliance in this
watchful care of themselves. A lieuten.
ant of the escort said: 1--WE had that
confidence in him which | imagine the
old guard had in Napoleon. On one oc-
casion, while we were supposed to be
in very dangerous position, with the
enemy all about us, we were ordered to
go into camp for the night. There were
some new recruits with us, who, seeing
the older members of the command pre-
pairing to lie down and go to sleep, said:
You don't expect to lie down and.g to
sleep with the enemy all around you, do
you?' The answer was; of course we
do; Gen. Forrest told us to do it,

does his duty by his farm he will use a
manure platform often enough to pay
for having one. The accompanying
sketch will show one on low-wheeled
running gears, and without the side
boards, which are easily put on when
required. 1t is merely platform nailed
TO two by fours, which are bolted Sc
curely to a frame made of two by six

that hold the wagon box in place. There
are holes cut through the platform to
let the tops of these standards through.
The platform sets just high enough to
be free of the wheels. 1t can be made
seven feet wide if that width is desired.
