CORN FOR THE CALVES.
Writer Declares 1t to BE the
Very Best Food.

My experience in raising calves ez-
tends over fifteen years. Of course,
everyone knows how to feed calves,
but many do not know just what is
best to feed. Ask me, and I will say
"shelled corn" when do you beg1n?"
I begin when the calf is three days old.
Feed it just few kernels at first and
gradually increase to a pint by the time
the calf is six weeks old. They chew
it all up. I never knew a calf to pass
a whole grain. never feed a calf
more than two quarts of milk at a
feeding. If I am raising calves for
mixers I do not feed them enough to
make them fat. have experimental
with all manner Of ground foods, but
none of them equal shelled corn. My
calves hair Is sleek and glossy; they
are growing rapidly; they run and
frisk about and are always ready to
eat corn. My neighbor, who persists
in feeding his calves all the milk they
can drink, besides couple Of quarts Of
ground feed, has funny looking calves
They arc little, pot-gutted things; hair
standing on end. They have the scours
nearly all the time; lie around half
asleep. wouldn't trade one of mine
for a dozen of his In short, if you
want good salves feed them corn; If
you want poor, worthless animals. feed
them something else.-1. H. Watt, in

THE BLOODY HNGhE
Fearless Hct Of an Unknotun Union Officer in
the Face Of Calling Fire

Boosting that it was no common man
who could brave such deadly fire, when
my friend Samuel D. Murray, who lives
out on Oakley avenue, said quietly: Tt

of those guns myself and others Of my
regiment, the Third Michigan, were with
me. At that time, Second corps men OF
dozen regiments and Sixth corps men
Of several regiments were fighting to-

up, and men of different companies left
without officers were doing the best they
could. Some of us loaded up the guns
and blazed away as long as we had am

was In doubt whether we had rammed
home load or not and to make the
thing sure, we put in another and let
her go.
"The gun, double-shotted, turned a
somersault and went splashing into the
mortar-like mud between us and the
enemy. That put us out Of action, but
some of the other guns were fired after
that. remember we'll just how that gun
looked as it went like live thing into
the mud. and I remember it the more
clearly because about that time an officer
rode to where the boys were huddled
close to the breastworks and ordered
them to scale them. The men, suspect
ing that he was drunk, paid little atten-

didn't try it himself.

TO REMOVE A RING.
A Needle Flat i'm the Eye and Q BIT Of

Most girls have had trouble in remov-

elm that, as in everything else, the secret
of success lies in knowing how to do It,
Here is recipe that have found I'M
failing for removing a tight ring, and
there is no painful surgical operation
involved. either. Thread a needle flat
in the eye, using thread that is strong.
but not too coarse. Then pass the head
of the needle under the ring. Care, of
course, must be used in this, and it would
be best to soap the needle before begin
ming. The needle, having been passed
through, pull the thread through few
inches toward the hand-so."
BY this time the jeweler had passed
the needle and thread under the ring on
his own finger and was prepared to H.
lustrate the little lecture. WRAP the
long end Of the thread around the finger
toward the nail in this manner. Then
take hold Of the short end and unwind it

the ring, will gradually remove it, how
ever tight or swollen the finger"

tsSome Of us" said the captain, in the
Chicago Inter Ocean, "have been looking
for 20 years for men who played very
unusual part in the fight at the bloody
angle at Spottsylvania on the 18th OF
May; 1864 After Hancock's corps had
captured the first line of Lees works at
the salient, and after the Sixth corps,
under Wright, had plunged into the
fight, there were several pieces OF art1l-
lery left near the angle, which were put
in action again by infantrymen fromdtf-
ferent regiments Up to May Is we of
the army of the Potomac had not been
able to locate more than one Of these
men. es so.
Eight or ten guns were captured by.
Hancock's men in the first charge early
on the morning of May -. When the
confederates attempted to recapture the
works at the angle, some of these guns
were drawn out and turned on the charg-
ing enemy. Later two guns of battery
G, Fifth United States artillery, were
ordered close up to the angle by Gen.
Wright himself. The guns went as or
dered, but the staff officer guiding them
was shot. before they reached the desig-
mated position, and in few minutes
all the horses had been shot, seven OF
the % men had been killed and 16
wounded. ~ ~7 ,.. .-.

Of that squad were Lieut.. Metcalf and
