THE report the National Agricultural
Department makes the corn average of
the whole country, only 25.2 bushels to
the acre, and for Ohio 81. The average
of several other corn States is as follows:
Pennsylvania, 81 bushels; Indiana, 81
bushels; Illinois, 35 bushels; Iowa, 81
bushels; Missouri, 25 bushels; Kansas,
20 bushels; Nebraska, q bushels. 1t
will be seen from these figures that
Illinois and Indiana are the only States
that show higher average than Ohio.

THE WEST POINTERS ROOM.
1t is a Veritable Model of Spartan
Simplicity and Cleanliness.

From the New York Herald.
Spartan simplicity is the predominant
feature of the cadet room at West Point
They are furnished alike. There are no
decorations IN one that cannot be found in
all the others. A millioraires son has no
more privileges than the poorest lad whose
brains and physical perfection secured his
appointment.
No furniture or ornaments are allowed in
rooms except those called for by the regu-
latiors. Everything in a cadets room Is
purchased cut of the pay he receives from
the government. No ornaments are allowed
on the walls but few photographs may be
placed on the top shelf of the clothes press
Each cadet must make up his bed after re-
veille Mattresses and blankets are folded
neatly and piled against the head Shoes
are lined parallel on the floor by the side of
the bed. An alcove furnished with hooks
provides a place for uniforms. The hooks
are numbered for each garment. Night
clothes and one clothes bag for each cadet
hang on pegs next to the bed small
clothes press, having four shelves, stands
against the wall near the door This press
holds the remaining belongings of the oc-
cupants.
The mantel ornaments consist of a neat
frame giving he hours of instruction, copies
of the army regulations, L. S. NJ A regula-
tions, blue book and d small mirror. At the
foot of the bed is a washstand with two
bowls and few toilet articles. On the
transom of the flcove is each cadets name,
which must also appear over his clothes
press and pegs Guns have a separate rack.
Two cadets 0ccupy a room. The selection
of room mates is left to the cadets them
selves the authorities claiming no jurisdic-
ton. an or
Each cadet takes his turn as room orderly
weekly. hetprdeGly is responsible for the
general order. and cleanliness of the room.
He must see that the ventilation is perfect,
that the lights go out at taps. Upon him
rests the responsibility of dust appearing on
the shelves. He must not allow his room
mat e or any visitor to stand at the window
in shirt sleeves, and whatever is done in the
room he stands accountable for.
Formerly cadets We're compelled to scrub
the floors Of their rooms, but civilians are
now employed for that purpose This is the
only evidence of luxury that has cropped
up at West Point during the century Of its
existence.

Adding the increase which now note since
MS report was made. the present volume Of
business is not far from two-and-a-half
times as heavy as previous to '95, and this
la an entirely reasonable deduction
Il again invite attention" saws the sur-
veyor. ito the subject of the custody of the
records of original divisions of squares,
now held by the War Department, and on
which subject l submitted. over year ago
an exhaustive report and recommended
ton. l believe the conclusion Irresistible
on examination of the laws bearing there
on, that all of these records belong in this
office, where alone they are capable of Of
fetal Interpretation by survey, and where
every dictate Of convenience would put
them. This office will now have safer &C
commodations for them far as fire is
concerned, than the room in which they
now are, filled as 1t is with wooden fyrni-
ture"

greater and better than we have ever
shown.

Changes in Sidewalks.

Although furnished by the surface de-
partment,' says the surveyor, with
notices of such changes in old sidewalks as
tend to obliterate the only points possessed
by this office on many block fronts from
which surveys can be made with certainty
II Is with great regret that | am
PEELED to report that in all cases of such
Cbliteration since the spring paving work
began 1t has been impracticable to save
these points by tying them into permanent
objects. To what extent the future work
of the office in the city VIII be hampered
delayed and possibly made vitality inaccu-
rate by this unfortunate circumstance time
alone will show. The entire city survey
system having been dependent for at least
forty years upon ordinary nails driven in
the old brick sidewalks at the block cor
ners and eisewhere-it is needless to say
how essential 1t is to the property inter
ests that these survey points should be
preserved with the greatest care, now that
each year shows an increasing number of
old sidewalks replaced by granolithic pave
ments. Wherever in the course OF current
work the latter pavements are met with a
copper bolt Is sunk into a hole drilled in
the pavement. This Will doubtless be
eventually the system adopted for a basis
of surveys, but pending the complete
change TO granolithic the old system is
satisfactory, provided the office Is able
to preserve reference points about to be
disturbed
Sufficient field force to permit this work
to be done as fast as notices are received
is all that is necessary
