Board of Visitors of the Military ACADEMY
made to the Secretary Of War has Just been
made public. It says, among other til ngs. the
discipline of the academy is austere, but tree
nom passion, steadily and carefully CO. sidered.
1t is administered By the superintendent and
conmsndant with justice and benevOlence, and
with anxious sOllcitude tor the interests OF the
cadets. 1t ls believed that the discipline OF the
academy has never been higher than il is to-
day, and that the corps of cadets has never
reached greater state Of efficiency. The bar
barOus custom OF haZing has been suppressed
by the strong hand Of authority, and the visitors
confidently hope no future relaxation of disci-
pline in this direction will tolerate its revival.
The public buildings are generally in good con-
dition and well preserved, but the board recon-
mend an appropriation for the erection of a new
brick storehOuse in place OF the present wooden
structure. The board are of opinion the
methods OF Instruction pursued by the faithful
and competent instructors of the Institution are
admirably adapted to secure thorough study
and exact knowledge. In the opinion of the
board, tits de- irable the law now in force should
be SO tar modified as to require that candidates
for admission to the Military Academy should
not be younger than twenty-one years of age.
The board cannot too highly commend the pro-
hciency displayed by the cadets in what nsay be
calld the more practical departments OF military
education. The cavalry, battalion and skirmish
drills, and the practice with the siege sea coast
mortar ana howitZer batteries afforded most
most gratltying evidence of the fidelity of the
instructors and CT tie aptness and industry Of
the cadets.

The White Brooks Seeding Potato.

On the first page Of this weeks paper is
letter from a Massachusetts Farmer"
speaking highly of the Red Brooks Seeding
Potato 1t is certainly an excellent and
large yielding variety, and we can still rec
ommend it, both for crop and quality.
We have also been growing for some time
another variety sent out by Mr.. Brooks,
called the White Brooks" We found, the
first season We planted it, that this so-called
variety" was in truth three different and
quite distinct varieties, agreeing only in be-
ing white. Last spring we took pains to
assert our seed, selecting that kind among
the three that we considered the best. Last
season we grew large crop of both Sorts
the Red, and the selected White The lat
ter is in our judgment, even more desirable
potato than the Red, being equally good in
quality, heavier crOpper on the same field
by 20 per CENT aud this spring we find that
while the Red has rotted in the cellar con-
siderably. the White is quite free from rot.
We are satisfied that 1t is most profitable
variety to grow, especially as a market aud
shipping potato, being equal to the jackson
White in quality, and giving four times the
crop.
