Crossley was nearly 21 years of age,
and he longed to go to the front. He
effected an enlistment in nine
months company of volunteers, but
the short term men were not taken,
and he was disappointed. Nothing
daunted at his i'll luck, as he con-
sidered it, young Crossley enlisted at
j Hartford, and on August 26, 1862,
not yet being old enough to vote, he
was mustered into service in the 10th
Connecticut Regiment of infantry,
bound by contract that read three
years, or during the war;" which was
questionable phrase in many peo-
pies minds at the time, some be-
lieving that it called for a three
years service anyway, and that If
the war went on for four, or five, or
any number of years the person un?
der such contract was bound to the
service. The phrasing was eventual
ly changed to the more understand
able wording of " three years, unless
sooner discharged" which fixed the
maximum limit and whose terms
could not be misunderstood.
Three weeks after being mustered
in, on September H. the regiment to
(which young Crossley belonged took
part in the fierce battle of Antietam.

Experiments Prove Its Groat Worth az
Feed For Stock.
The South Carolina experiment sta
ton recently published a bulletin by
Archibald Smith giving the results OF
tests to ascertain the value of different
kinds of forage crops fed with cotton
seed meal. The main findings are of
especial value to the farmers OF the
south and of great value to farmers In
any section of the country. The bulle-
tin demonstrates anew the economy
Of corn silage as beef producing feed.
In this test silage, corn slower and
cottonseed bulls were compared The
test demonstrated:
That corn silage gave by far the
best returns not only in economic pro-
duction of beef, but also In the quality
of beef and the shape In which II
reached the market
That silage fed steers produced beef
from Is to 20 per cent cheaper than the
other feeds.
That silage fed beef lost less in ship
ping to market. This Is test which
some shippers have disputed In the
past, declaring silage fed beef lost Sc,
verely In the shipping process.
That the silage fed group produced
gains that would warrant a value on
the silage of $3.50 per ton-this earn
ing on q very poor market as the steers
sold for only $3.50 per hundred. Had
they been sold on good market the
gain might have been increased 20 pei
cent
That with a cost of 81 per ton for the
production of corn silage a fair aver
age good corn should be made to earn
from $50 to $40 per acre.
