based on the amount Of work the horse
has done-the more work the greater
the amount of food that should be
given.
The foods that are generally fed are
hay, grass, corn, oats, barley, rye
bran, carrots, turnips and apples. OF
the grains oats is best, with corn sec
ond, but both are improved If fed IN
crushed state. Oats build up the mus
cles. make blood and put nerve and
endurance in the horse. On account
of the price, oats are not generally
used, and in such cases care must be
taken that the hay given is rather
rich in protein.
Corn and timothy hay are of heat
ing nature and hard on the digestion
causing the animal to persp1re tree
". If corn is literally used, some
bran, with clover or some well-cureo

Tt is always advisable in feeding
sheep not to feed too much corn. Clio
YER hay and corn in equal parts, by

about 60 per cent of starch and 6 per

The part played by Sheridan's great
horse Winchester" in one Of the blood
lest battles of the rebellion has been
repeatedly recognized in books of his
tory and in patriotic verse. Read, the
poet, by a few strokes Of his pen, lift
ed the beast into a fame almost as en-
during as that which had been earned
by it's rider.
Winchester" the cognomen by
which the beast has been known since
the war, was jet-black in color, with a
small white star almost in the center
of the forehead-a sort Of lucky star"
He stood sixteen and a half hands
high, and was trim built, active and
| proud-spirited. When Sheridan took
command of the Second Michigan Reg
| iment, in 1862, Captain Campbell pre-
scented him with the ANIMAL which was
then spoken of as a 3-year-old colt,
His owner dubbed him Rienzi, after
the Mississippi town of that name. He
carried his master through the battles
of Stone River, Chickamauga, Mission
Ridge, and score of other engage
ments in the Tennessee campaign. He
pranced around among the mules and
ordinary steeds at the battles Of Ope-
quon, Fishers Hill, Cedar Creek,
Petersburg, Trevilian Station, the Will
derness, Spottsylvania, Cold HarbOr,
Gordonsville, Waynesboro, Five Forks,
Jettersville, Sailors Creek, Appomat-
tox Station and Appomattox Court
House. and a score or more of other
combats In fact, Winchester faced
| the guns in ninety engagements, and,
with a single exception, never finched
or turned tail to the enemy. In the
battle of Stone River, a solid shot
passed under him, grazing the skin of
! his belly. He became fractions and
unmanageable, the general being
obliged to dismount The appearance
| of the animal on the field without a
rider was the foundation for a report
| that his owner had been killed. The
horse was wounded by pieces of shell
in the battles of Opequon and Trevil-
ian, but not severely in either instance.
| History describes the ride to Win
chester as a furious and headlong race.
General Sheridan said, in speaking of
| the matter a few months before his
death, that he had ridden the horse at
full gallop, at times breaking into a
run. The staff officers, Generals For
syth and O'Keefe, and the escort of
twenty cavalrymen, rode with him, but
the horse Winchester showed more

"we're old Abe Linco1n's Boys"

Were Old Abe LincoIn's Boys"
Oh, comrades true who wore the blue
from sixty-one to five;
Keep your csmp fires burning brightly
yes. keep the flames alive,
And you'll not forget those days of strife
their sorrows and their joys,
In victories won or battles lost, we Were
"Old Abe Lincoln's Boys"
From crowded marts and western plains
how our volunteers did pour,
Singing coming, father Abraham, three
hundred thousand more.
For Sumter's walls ''in ruins rife by trail
tors missiles hurled,
And sounds of fratricidal strife, went
echoing round the world.
There was Donaldson and Shiloh-what
awful Carnage there,
Then Corinth FELL and Vicksburg, too,
gave up in wild despair,
Our gunboats open up the way, where,
ere their line deploys-
Our transports pass the silenced forts
with "Old Abe Iincoln's Boys"
Before our veteran ranks in blue, the
Southern legions fee,
Till Lookout Mountain comes in view,
hard by the Tennessee.
Along its base and on its crest, far, far
beyond our view,
Bragg's Southern army waiting for ABE
Lincolns Boys in Blue"
That foggy dark November night, no
moon nor stars to shine,
With muffied wheels, and footsteps light,
we formed our battle line
We waited for the morning sun-that did
not pierce the gloom,
Till General Sherman's signal gun upon
the air did boom.
A shout, a charge. From wales below,
out from the misty shrouds,
Up lofty Lookout heights we go, we fight
"above the clouds"
Bragg's mighty hosts in full retreat from
carnage fierce and noise,
They'd met a "Waterloo' defeat-from
cold Abe Lincoln's Boys"
And then we turned our faces from Sa-
vannah and the sea
We waded South Carolina swamps, the
turbid Congaree.
We met Hoods shattered army, some in
groups and some alone,
They'd fled from far-off Nashville and
Pap Thomas's cyclone"
We were after General Johnston and his
veterans in gray,
They tried all kinds of hindrances our
onward march to stay
But we cleared away Instructions, or one
side our columns turned,
Sometimes we waded chilly streams,
where bridges had been burned
We heard of Lees surrender. Oh, the
''end'' was coming fast,
Then Joe Johnston's fifty thousand men
laid down their arms at last.
ITO Richmond" then to Washington,
then in the Grand Review"
Marched the loyal Union armies, abe
Lincoln's Boys in Blue"
But what of all our heroes, three hundred
thousand dead?
ION fame's eternal camping ground their
silent tents are spread
Their marchings done, their battles Ger,
be theirs eternal joys,
In life, or death, forever more, they're
