Senator Manderson's Bill for Increasing the
Strength of the Army.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Manderson's
bill, which will come up for conside Iation one
day next week. provides for the increase of the
military and the reorganization of the infantry
arm OF the service. that each regiment will
be composed of three battalions of four COM
panies each, which will increase the number OF
majors TO three for each regiment Besides
this it will add 9, 500 to the enlisted men, and
will not only give the subalterns and officers,
up TO the grade of captains, chances for pro
motion all along the line, but will give the Presi-
dent the power to appoint nearly 200
all probability from the ranks. and
will afford opportunity for deserved
promotion IN many worthy cases. The bill will
pass the Senate without much trouble, but 1t is
likely to meet with considerable opposition in
the House, because OF the economical tendencies
OF the Holmans and men Of that class. who do
not care a continental for the esprit u corps of
the army the welfare of the service. The
bill has been recommended by Generals Sher-
man. Sheridan and Scofeld, and all the Secrs-
taries of War who have sat in the Cabinet dur
ing the last ten fifteen years 1t is one of the
most meritorious measures that has been sug-
gested in Congress for long time, and 1t should

press, though he is of vastly more Importance
than the general purpose cow, horse, sheep,
hen, barn, strawberry or apple. The general
purpose" farmer is one who can do many difficult
things and do them all well. He can plan
operations and execute them himself, or show
others how. He is good manager of place.
He knows when and how to plant. cultivate and
harvest every kind of crop ordinarily raised on
farm. He is good gardener. and knows how to
raise most kinds OF fruit. He can prune, grant
and bud trees properly and raise trees. bushes,
shrubs and vines from seeds and cuttings
He understands the management of
manure aud knows how to drain land.
He is sufficiently good mechanic to put up
fences, make gates, hang grindstone, ana
shingle shed. He can repair harness, point
a pillow. paper a sitting-room, shear a sheep
dress a hog, cut up steer. corn beef, smoke
bacon and make sausage He can sharpen tools
and put handles into axes, hoes and pitchforks.
The general purpose farmer knows how to
feed, raise. and fatten all kinds of animals kept
for their meat. He understands what kinds OK
food are best for producing milk, wool, fesh and
fat He cutivates the society of animals and
learns their ways. He trains heifers TO say they
will take pleasure in having tier milk drawn
from them. He has no special occasion for en-
