will be executed al Fort Myer, Va.

A CALIFORNIA GOAT FARM.
An Interesting and Novel Sight When
the Kids Are Fed.

An Interesting and Novel Sight When
the Kids Are Fed.
From the Land of Sunshine.
1t is traditional that the common goats
digestion is cast-iron, and as much Is true
of the Persian. He can eat pretty much
anything. and 1 never saw nor heard of
sick goat. 'One boy can herd a flock of 500
the year round. The lambing season, from
February to June, calls out every one on
the ranch to hold the mothers while the
kids nurse, for goats are parents either I'M
natural or hopelessly stupid. Every hui
man mother knows the most wonderful
child in the world. but a goat does not. All
kids are alike tc her. In a flock of 500 not
5 per cent will own their offspring or can
recognize them.
The young are kept in corral into which
the mothers are driven at night. At even
ing and morning this corral witnesses a
performance rivaling any circus. The
ewes are ''roped," thrown and held, and
the kids need no other summons to their
meal. The table seats two but perhaps
seven or eight will crowd about Selling
any coign of vantage whatever, nutritious
or dry wool: butting. Juggling and generally
conducting themselves with so scant table
manners that it is no wonder their moth
ers dread the ordeal.
The kids are beautiful and graceful and
of tireless activity. They are never at rest.
They climb, jump. run. devour fences and
ropes. and divert themselves with an inge-
nuity worthy of human imitation. They
can utilize see-saw as well as the boys
who made it. a barrel left in their reach
is welcome--they can balance on 1t and
walk the ball' with the dexterity of an
acrobat 1 have often seen one inside the
barrel. apparently enjoying the rolling pro-
cess.
No matter how many times day you
visit them. they are always friendly and
lnQulSltlye Samninp raimpnf with
sober faces.
The thoroughbreds are pure white. with
long. fine hair-a link between silk and
wool They are 'shorr twice year. the
fleece averaging in weight with that of
meririo sheep, but being more valuable.
They are hardy snd less susceptible to dis
eases and parasites than sheep.
The success of goat farming lies chiefly
In feeding the kids up 70 the second month.
After that they shift for themselves.
The flesh OF t.ie kid Is delicacy worthy
OF place on the MOST epicurean bill of fare;
and the milk Of the ewes Is particularly
rich and nutritious, and as a cosmetic is
unsurpassed. All all there is much to
De learned and much TO be enjoyed on a
California goat ranch Z

DELIVERED ON FIRST ROUND.
Nail Deposited During the Night to De
Collected Early

Washingtonians generally will be inter-
ested in a recent order of Postmaster Mer-
rift, which has just been put into effect,
and which was productive at once of good
results. Briefly. it is new morning collec-
ton of mail, which insures its delivery by
the first trip of the carriers in the morn
ing. Heretofore the first collection made
was at T:30, but few letters collected at
this time ever got into the office sufficiently
early for the carriers to take out on their
first trip This was the subject of consid-
cradle criticism on the part of the business
men, who insisted upon some arrangement
whereby a letter mailed at night would be
carriers.
Under the operation of the new order the
first collection now is made at $50, and all
the mail collected is handled in time for
the first delivery.

Not Concerned over German Program

There is no disposition on the part of the
Navy Department to make any change in
its program for new naval construction on
account of the Introduction of the German
bill looking to the addition of forty-eight
armored ships to the German navy. Atten-
already authorized twenty-one ships for the
navy. in addition to the fleet afioat. That
number is large as 1t is believed Con-
gress will authorize at this time. and tho
German increase is TO be divided among
eighteen years, while ours Is continuous liz
each Congress, it is felt that the United
States navy Is in no danger of losing thu
position II now commands.

Discussion Over the Me-
mortal Bridge Project and Pro-
posed Bond Issue.

The Alexandria county board Of develop
ment met at the rooms of the board of
trade in the Ames building yesterday after
noon at i:l5 O'Clock. with President A. NJ.
Lothrop in the chair. Many reports were
received. Mr.. John b. Henderson of the
committee on the memorial bridge to Ar
Engton stated that the Secretary of War
and chief of engineers. Gen. John B. VIII
son. both favored the project. but preferred
that 1t be made national rather than To-
cal object and had suggested that local agi-
tatfon should cease in order that Congress
might recognize the bill recently intro
duced not as a measure which would per-
haps, be regarded as a scheme for the ad-
vancement of individual interests but as a
measure of national Importance. Mr.. Hen
derson. after recommending that the board
drop the matter. announced that plans for
the construction of the proposed bridge
We're now being prepared at the War De-
