Measuring Hay.

Breeders Gazette: The follow
ing rule for measuring hay in the
stack is established by territorial
law in New Mexico, and is said to
work out very accurately:
Measure the stack for length,
width and the ''over." To get the
over" throw a tape line over the
stack at an average place, from
ground to ground, draw it tightly.
Multiply the width by the 'tover'
and divide this result by four;
multiply result of division by the
length, for approximate cubical
contents of stack. To reduce to
tons, for hay that has stood in the
stack less IN twenty days, divide
cnbical e;3ttents by 512; for more
than twenty days and less than
sixty days, divide cubical contents
by s422, for more than sixty days.
divide cubical contents by $50.
Example. Stack measures IL feet
wide, So feet long and 36 feet over.
Stack has stood fifteen days. Null
tiply II by 86, equals 6l2. Divide
612 by d., equals .l53. Multiply
153 by length 58,,; equals 8,S74,
which gives the cubical contents
IN feet. Divide 1874 by 5l2,
equals l7.3 tons in stack.

Without any objection the report was accepted.
 Regarding the South Brooklyn school it was said that in order to bring ouI MT Tinkers recommendation to close a part of it, the pupils or their parents must petition the board of aldermen to De accommodated in some other build ing. The South Brooklyn school is q monument to those who were instru- mental in it's erection.

A DEGRADED SERVICE.
Medical Department Of the Army De
 nounced

Medical Department of the Army De-
 nounced.
 MARION, O., Dec 11-Dr. Charles A. l.. Reed of Cincinnati, the retiring president Of the American Medical as- sociation, was given q banquet here by the medical profession of northern Ohio. In the course of his remarks on pending congressional topics view ed from medical standpoint he said:
 ''It seems from evidence that has re- gently come from within the army it. self that the medical department has net only been degraded, but that it is practically without authority. This was strikingly, indeed tragically, illus trated during the recent war. A com mandant was in charge of a quarter of the entire army His command was made lsp of the flower of American manhood and was encanped at a health resort. He, however, i'll viola tion of the precedent of the usually cultivated and competent gentlemen of the line, but acting under the per mission of existing army regulations, not only set aside recommendations of his sanitary officers, but by personal example melted his men to violate the most fundamental sanitary laws.
 '.The result was what might have been expected. Of the more than 50,- GOO men i'll his command 12,O00 were invalided, while nearly thousand died from preventable causes. If in an ac tive military operation the comnan- dant had ignored the advice of his scouts and had led his command into ambush with similarly disastrous re sults-12, ,00O wounded and LOGO killed he would have been court martialed and doubtless dismissed from the sery- ice. Tie regulations, however, 1 am advised, fixed no responsibility for this awful calamity, the enormity of which is only beginning to be understood.
 Tt is not surprising that efforts have been made to suppress knowledge of it. I am advised that the army inves- tigating committee in the interest of public decency omitted from it's pub lie report much testimony on this phase of the conduct of the war. An officer in the service who today agi tates this unsayory subject is banished to the Philippines. No wonder the sur geon general cannot fill the sixty or more vacancies now existing in his corps. Self respecting medical men are not offering themselves for degraded service that is dominated by gag law and tyranny.
 'The agitation cannot stop until the responsibility is fixed for the enforce ment of regulation under the present terms of which the bumptiousness of an accidental and incapable comman- dant may. with impunity to himself, deprive an entire army of the benefac- tions of science.
