fore Witnessed at tbs Post.
Troop Il, 4th cavalry, gave its grand
fuil-dress ball on the evening of the ed,
the first OF the kind ever held at the
garrison. The troop, as is usual In such
cases. spared neither time, trouble nor
expense to make it a success, and it
succeeded wonderfully. The hall was
decorated with flags, evergreens and
guidons; handsome designs were made
with sabres and placed ON the walls !;
the stage was fanked by l2-pounder
field guns; and large letters GO and fig
ures "a were prominent everywhere. A
large oil painting of George Washington
hung at one end of the hall, encircled
with evergreen and draped with the ma
uonal colOrs. The Fourth infantry full
band furnished the music for the grand
march, in which over 60 couples partic-
ipated led by Lieutanant j. II. Reeves
and Mrs. Lieutenant Wolf. The officers
OF the post, in full dress, with their la
dies, hOnored the occasion with their
presence during the early evening. One
hundred or more invitations had been
sent out, and with but few exceptions
, those who received them were in atten-
dance. The brilliant uniforms of the
officers, the biue-and yellow of the cav
airy, the blue and.w of the infantry.
mingling with the beautiful costumes
of the ladies. all combined TO make it a
scene long 10 be remembered.
The supper was served in the dining
room Of the troop quarters, which are
conveniently near the hall. Here the
decorations were even more beautiful
than those at the ballroom. A steel
engraving Of Washington at Valley
Forge adorned one end of the apart.
ment; at the other end the word @Wel-
come in large letters, attracted imme-
diaie attention upon entering. The
supper was the finest ever prepared for
dance at the post. There were roast
turkeys and chickens, ham, lobster, oys.
tiers, chicken and shrimp salads, Sarato.
ga chips, all kinds of cakes, pies, candies
and nuts, oranges, grapes, ice creams,
coffee and tea, wines and punch. Al

number present. When one considers
the vast amount of labor connected
with so great an undertaking as this
ball proved 10 be, too much praise can
not lie bestowed. To civilians ii was

satisfactory. and Troop G has made for
Itself a record ii will DC hard TO eclipse.

from our midst Brother II. J. Liddell, a

In the breed,

1t Is a settled fact that there a-c AMI
mails that possess the quality Of n more
perfect assiJDilation Of food for the pro-
duction of milk than others, and 1t Is
not unreasonable to suppose that GER
tain breeds possess this quality to
greater degree than others.
Under what may be termed av ,rage
conditions an animal Is Of little or no
use to the owner unless he is able TO de-
rive profit by keeping it. In he dairy
good animal Is the ,ne that will pro-
fitably convert feed into milk. butter or
cheese. In this. quantity IS not the only
consideration. neither is quality. Both
are important, hut the cost Is rather
more important than all else. There
inrst be liberal quantity and the quail
ity must be good. At the same time,
both must be secured at Il cost that
will leave n fair per cent of profit II
rightly managed. And there is more
certainty of doing this with certain
breeds than with otherr. There may be
individual animals in all breeds that ex-
Gel In some essentials, as thera are 9th
ers that fail almost as regularly. Yet,
generally. there are breeds that MS Il
class can be depended upon to convert
their excess of food, the amount over
and above what Is necessary to sustain
animal life, to milk and cream, and this
characteristic is in the breed to an ex-
tent that 1t can be depended upon to
transmit this quality from parent to on
spring. N. ]. s.. in Prairie Farmer.

ELECTRICITY ana windmilI..

The possibilities of the utilization Of
wind power for the generation Of cleo
tricity have scarcely yet been grappled
with by inventors. An incentive has
been given to the study Of this problem
by an offer Of $50 and gold medal
by the Nethcrland Society for the
Promotion of Industry for the best pa
per on the production of electricity
by windmills, its storage. transmission
and utilization. The main points to be
covered are: a. What Is the average
energy common windmill Is able to
produce per day of twenty-four hours
in combination with an electric storage
battery; what would be the installa-
tion most suitable to this effect, and
what would be the cost of one horse
power hour? (2) Is 1t possible. from
an economic point of view. to apply the
new aerial motors on an extensive scale
for the accumulat ton and the utilization
of this energy? II SO, what mechanical
appliances would be required for this
purpose? The project of a supposed
application Of the system by which q
factory is provided with light and pow
er is wanted as an Illustration. An
swers must be sent in before July 1,
1894. with the authors name, in n
closed envelope. to the general secre-
tary of the society, +. w. Van Eeden,
at Harlem, Holland. 1t Is to be hoped
that the subject will be taken up by
American inventors.

ries the other day 10 an editor, by way Of q
wind.up to several good ones:
II can't call any more to mind just at pres

but forget 'em. By the way, though, Pve
got y regular living curiosity down on my
place. One day my eldest boy was sitting on
the back stoop doing his sums, an he couldn't
do 'em right. He felt something against his
face, and there was little snake curled up
on his shoulder and looking at the slate. In
four minutes he had done ali those sums.
We've tanned him, so he keeps all our ac-
counts, and he is the quickest head at
figures you ever saw. He'll run up 9
