Comment is made upon the fact that
those who failed to pass the recent exam
ination are, a large majority of them,
from port ons of the country other than
the South, instead of being largely from
the latter section, as was sometimes the
case in the years Immediately following
the war, but which is and has been less
so at each recurring examination held Of
late years. In the present instance.
eighteen of those reported deficient are
from portions of the country East, West
and North, whereas but nine, all told,
are from the Southern States. This is
highly creditable showing for the youth
of the South of the present generation,
and stamps them as worthy successors Of
those from the same section belonging to
past generations, living and dead, who
as graduates Of the Military Academy
won distinction in all the various walks
of life, military and civil. 1t is no dis
paragement to others to say that Mary
land has every reason to be proud of her
representatives now in the corps, who,
besides possessing all the characteristics
of gentlemen, maintain, in addition, a
highly respectable standing IN their re-
spective classes.

If farmers would take the trouble to ascer-
tain tho value of that which is often thrown
away at this season, they would perhaps make
better uso of much that is considered worth
less. Vegetable tops make excellent additions
to the compost heap from timo to time, and
such material is really valuable. Beet tops
are very rich in nitrogen aud those from car
rots, parsnips and turnips are well supplied
with potash and fair quantity of the phos.
plates Potato vines contain large quantity
OF potash, and there is nothing more valua-
BILE for composing than tho refuse from po-
tato crop. All the tops of vegetables should
do service as mulch before being carried TO
the compost heap, and in this capacity they
render cornstalks valuable. The best way to
mulch with the wastage of vegetables is to
cover the vines intended to be mulched, and
lay cornstalks on top of it in order to prevent
disturbance by wind. One of the most seri-
Gus losses is corncobs, which contain in the
ash one-fourth potash, and when we consider
that this potash is all derived from the soil on
which the corn is grown it becomes a duty to
restore it, Cobs can be used as fuel without
loss, but the ashes should be carefully saved
A large amount Of waste is often permitted
such as allowing the cobs to be scattered here
and there over fields wherever hogs are fed
when running at large. 1t is true the cobs
rot and do service in the course of time but
careful farmers should gather them in order
to place them at their disposal.
1t does not pay to let straw be trampled and
wasted by cattle, nor is it good policy to leave
cornstalks standing in the field. There are
other uses to which such materials can be APP
piled before decay sets in, and even rank
weeds can be made serviceabe If turned to
ashes. Every weed that grows robs the soil.
and it will not do to pillow them under, as they
will euralv ragprd tho land tbav ghoul1 las
gathered and burned. There is really moth
ing on the farm to waste, if in good hands
but there l., nevertheless, waste on many
farms
