II the District sharpshooters had been
privileged to order weather which would
give them the hardest sort Of wind prac-
tice they could not have procured anything
better than was on tap yesterday. The
morning was gray AMI the clouds con-
tributed swiftly to a mixed-up meteoroiosi-
cal situation that promised several things
at one time. yet failed to make good any
one Of tn, promises. Then there was a
strong breeze sweeping over this portion Of
the earth's surface; a breeze that shook the
strongest and steadiest and played hide

men were really tired Of their conflict with
the aggressive air. Eut the wind would not
have caused half SO much trouble had it
blown steadily. For awhile 1t was like unto
brick wall. and could safely be leaned
against by the rinemen. but at critical mo-
ments there would be a lull and Just as
the metaphorical wall went down the rifle
hammers would fall and the scores would
suner. Yet. in spite Of all the difficulties,
the work may fairly be classei as good: It
was very much better than 1t ever was at
any initial team practice in Washington.
In the afternoon there was practice at 600
and GID yards. and at both ranges the
breeze kept the wind clock busy. straight
ened out the long. red streamers and wor-

1t was found that the day had been well
spent. and that the steady results at 10
yards were backed up by respectable totals

The Cabbage Worm.


For the hateful cabbage worms, of
which there are three kinds, each worse
than the other, many methods Of treat
ment have been recommended. One is
TO dissolve saltpeter in water and sprin-
kle the solution on the plants. Another
lie to scatter bran or fine middlings on
the leaves. This has the merit of being
effective in wet or damp weather, as the
worms are covered by the sticky aste
and made helpless. Another remedy is
to sprinkle insect powder on the worms,
and different kind Of powder is the So
called "slug ehot." Dry coal ashes are
also recommended, Ne well as plaster
made odorous by carbolic acid. Other
victims Of ite ravenous appetite for the
tenderest kinds Of cabbages and cauli-
flowers especially think the most effect
i've treatment lie to pick them Off by hand.
Sometimes all ways are best, but here is
the list Of methods to choose from. 1t
