ULYSSES S. GRANT MAN AND SOLDIER

BY practically unanimous verdict, Ulysses >.
Grant is named as one of the few great military
chieftans of the world. And the closest scrutiny
of his work will convince us that his fame rests

n very stubborn man; while, on the contrary,
among Grants most valuable characteristics were
his open-mindedness and his wonderful faculty of
putting lessons once learned into practice
Behind that impassve face this silent man was
holding substantial scheme for putting down the
secession. This scheme embraced the general
movements of all the great armies Of the United
States and involved the intelligent cooperation
of half score of loyal general commanders.
Grant had evidently such implicit confidence in
this general plan that incident OF battle, march
or siege could disturb his equanlmity.
Only once in my presence in that whole cam
paign did he betray the slightest perturbation or
vexation. That was with his chief subordinate
on the fatal morning of the Petersburg mine ex-
plosion. After the mine had been fired II was
absolutely necessary that the assault should be in
stantly made. We waited long time to hear the
cheers Of the men as they would charge through
the breach. At last, facing the stawart COM

Plans for a $4,000 hospital and a

CALVES DROPPED IN AUTUMN
More Easily Raised and at Lower Cost
Than Those Coming in Spring
More Time for Care.

Calves dropped in the fall are more
easily raised and at the lowest cost.
Spring calves do not receive much
benefit from grass the first season be-
cause for some months after birth the
Illuminating stomach is undeveloped,
not to mention the effect of the annoy
ance from flies and the summer heat.
When given good start milk and
dry food can be given and the growth
is not checked. In the fall there is
more time to give to their care and
feeding. Fed mostly on sweet skim
milk and oatmeal porridge and given
warm, well-aired and lighted pen,
which should be kept clean, dry and
well bedded, they will make a vigor-
Gus healthy growth and when spring
comes the fall calf is large and strong
enough to be turned into the pasture.

RAISING CALF ON SKIM MILK
Young Animal Should Be Taught to
Eat Grain EarIy-In No Case
Feed IL in Milk Ration.

The calf which is to be raised on
skim milk should be taught to eat
grain early. When they have access
to it, many Of them will begin eating
at two weeks of age or three at the
latest.
The grain should be placed in box
where they can easily get at 1t, and
they can be encouraged at first by plac-
Ing little In their mouths after they
have consumed their milk. Grain can
best be fed dry after the milk is fed.
In no case should 1t be fed In the
milk, as In that case 1t will be gulped
down without chewing, which is bad
for the digestion.

Home Guard Awaits Equipment.


AS an explanation why the state
was compelled to refuse to equip any
Of the units of the home guards, Ma
jor M. j. Phillips, in command of this
branch, issued a statement showing
the cost of equipping unit of so men.
The cost, not including lot Of stuff
for field service, totals $2,125.
On the basis of 35 companies, which
are now awaiting muster into the state
service, Major Phillips figures the
cost to the state at $74,375, figure
that makes the equipping Of these
companies an absolute impossibility.
There will be no state aid for the
home guards, as the state will have to
equip all the companies accepted If it
equips any.
There are at least 35 companies OF
home guards organized and admitted,
or awaiting admittance," said Major
Phillips, land most of them have more
than SO men to a company, many run
ming we'll to 100. On basis of so to
company, it would cost $74,375 to
equip them, and they would not have
haversacks, canteens, cups, rubber
blankets, knives and forks and shelter
tents, which are practically as neces-
sary as rifles and uniforms IL they are
to be trained. To furnish only the
bare necessities such as rifles, uni
forms, leggings, campaign hats, belts
and ammunition would cost $1,625 a
company, or s56,S75 for the compan
les actually organized"

Virginia, headed by Custis Grymes OF virginia.
He came of the family which gave a wife to
George Washington, and many Of his emissar1es
were high-born women. One was a clergyman,
Rev. DR.. Stuart, an irreproachable Episcopalian.
When the dashing but hopeless raid on Vermont
by Confederate force in Canada was ordered In
1864 Grymes sent girl named Olivia Floyd, who
concealed the order in her hair. 1t was the fash
ion then for women to wear curly net over their
locks, and Olivia hid the documents there and
made a wild ride on a bitter cold night into the
lines where she delivered the orders that resulted
in the attack of ST. Adams.

from Jersey cows has higher per-
centage of protein and sugar than
Holstein milk. Guernsey milk is quite
similar to that of the Jersey, while
Ayrshire milk is intermediate between
that of these two breeds and the Hol-
stein.
These analyses indicate that the per-
centage of protein in milk increases
with the fat content, but not in pro-
portion. Skim milk from Holstein
milk having 3.3 per cent fat contained
3.5 per cent protein, while Jersey milk
testing Al per cent fat had Al per cent
protein. The variation in sugar con-
tent showed similar tendency. Thus

teal basis to compute the composition
