War "reminiscences Of One Hundred
and Tifsy-fifth Regiment, Pc. v.

In the winter and ea'ly spring the
marshy country to the south and south
west of Petersburg, drained by Hatch
ers and Gravelly runs, was subject to
frequent fogs so dense that from day
break until ten o'clock a soldier wan
dering away few rods from his camp
would be unable to find his way back
to the same. During the siege of Pc
tersburg, writes John T. Porter In the
Pittsburg Dispatch, the whole region
between the lines of the contending
armies was so cut up by covered ways,
dug-out roads, rifle pits, etc, to con-
ceal the movement of troops and pick
cts from the view of the enemy as to
make it almost impossible, or at least
extremely hazardous, to pass from the
main lines to the picket posts when
the fog was heavy.
During the winter campaign of "a
So Sergt. Walter McCabe of COM
pany B. One Hundred and F1fty-flfth,
in command Of large squad of pick
cts, started out one foggy morning to
relieve the union pickets in the rife
pits. After wandering for some time
in what seemed to be the direction of
the union picket line the sergeant and
his squad were brought to sudden
halt by challenge from confed-
crate picket, when, to their consterna-
tion, they found themselves prisoners
within the enemy's line, unable to es-

Give Variety in Pig Feeds.

If pigs are allowed the run of pas.
ture they will eat more concentrated
feed and, make more rapid gains than
when being fed in dry lots. If the
ration contains plenty of protein the
advantage of pasture does not amount
to much so far as the amount of feed
consumed per 100 pounds of gain is
concerned, but 1t makes a big diff
ference in the condition of the pigs at
the end of the fattening period.
In tests at the Iowa experiment sta
ton the cheapest gains when feeding
young pigs were obtained from a ra-
ton of corn, with the pigs on clover
pasture. The greatest profit was made
when a mixed ration was fed.

Care of the Colt.

The first year of the colts life
should be devoted to instruction. The
colt will learn more easily at six
months old than when a year old. II
can also be controlled more easily
Hence 1t is wise to handle the colt
early. It's early training should not
stop with breaking to the halter. 1t
should be handled until 1t will drive
as we'll as lead. To teach 1t all this
and keep it from forgetting what II
has learned. is a little trouble. but ii
the colt is of good stock the trouble
is we'll paid for. Practice little com,
mon sense with the young stock and
note the high rate of interest coming
back to you as the result of the In
vestment.

Corn and Oats as Food for Horses.


Corn is an excellent addition to the
horses feed when hard worked in cool
weather, but not as suitable as oats in
hot weather 1t is incomplete as re.
CARDS mineral matter needed for bone
and sinew-making, ingredients in
which oats are rich. Yet, if properly
fed, corn is an excellent food, but does
not take the place of oats If the grain
is old and sound. Oats make muscle
and at the same time supply vim and
vigor, some heat and much force.
while surplus is capable of being
stored up in the tissues as fat and
nitrogenous matter to be drawn upon
under extra stress. Corn, on the other
hand, is in the animal economy mainly
for the generation of heat and the sur.
plus all goes to form heat fat. The
work horse needs food that is not only
concentrated but nutritious.

OLD GENTLEMAN NOT PLEASED.
Letters Inscription Certainly the Re-
verse of FIattering.

In the English club at Hongkong a
white.haired old gentleman, who had
come down from some northern port,
was seated at dinner when he sudden
ly became very excited. He had been
brought a letter by solemn-faced Chi
nese butler, and he saw something on
the outside of this letter which sent
him downstairs two steps at time
to interview the hall porter. When
he came back he told us what was the
matter. The hall porter had inscribed
in the envelope, in Chinese, for the in
formation of the butler:
This is for the old baboon with
white fur"
Unfortunately for the hall porter,
the old gentleman was a first-class
scholar in the Chinese language.
