Senators and Representatives who
have called at the White House in
the interests of constituents who
seek commissions in the Army, un-
der the Reorganization Act, have
been very plainly informed by the
President that so far as it is possl-
BILE to do so, these appointments will
be given to the officers and men
who have served with the volun
teers in the Philippines This posi-
ton is such a just one that nobody
has uttered one word of protest
against it.

the Philippines was made the text

Unavoidable Orchards.

There are great many orchards
about the country that are being aban-
doned because they are Improbable.
AS a matter OF fact, the abandonment
of these orchards Is due, ninety-nine
times out of hundred, to the wrong
methods of the owner. There have been
recent reports of the abandonment of
peach orchards in Georgia, and that,
too. right in the heart of the region
famous as a profitable peach country.
Successful peach growers In Georgia
give their trees and the soil In which
they are planted constant, intelligent
care, and as result their venture Is
profitable. The owners of the unprofit-
able orchards set out the trees, and af-
ter a year or two gradually abandon
them to their fate. 1t is true they may
occasionally fertillze the soil, and per-
haps keep 1t in fair cultivation for a
gear or two. They seem to think this

Top-Dressinr Meadows.

In many sections there is strong
prejudice against the fall top-dressing
of meadows, the claim being that the
effect of the dressing is lost before
growth begins in the spring This is
assumption that is scarcely warrant
ed in most cases, for even If stable ma
nure IS used as a dressing it is fair to
assume that the grass roots will get
the benefit of at least a portion of it,
enough to make 1t pay for the applica-
ton. A mixture composed Of onethird
muriate of potash, one-thrd fine bone
and one-third nitrate Of soda is an ideal
one for top-dressing meadows. An ap-
plication of 500 pounds of this mixture
to the acre seems expensive, but when
1t means better hay and more of it, Is
1t not profitable even though 1t figures
up at the rate of about So for each
ton Of hay?

Fitting Horse Collars.

In buying new collar, 1t is a good
plan to have 1t fitted to the horse as
nearly as possible, and then soak 1t in
water over night. In the morning put
1t on the horse after wiping of all the
moisture, and then adjust the names at
top and bottom snugly SO as to bring
the leather collar to the form of the
animals neck and shoulders in a per-
feet fit. While the leather is wet it
can be nodded to almost any desired
form, and if held in place by the names
as suggested, during the day, by night
it will have shaped itself to the form
of the horse and will remain In that
condition 1t Is more than probable
that nine out of every ten horses who
are afflicted with CALLED shoulders, es-
pecially during the warm weather, suf-
fer from ill-fitting collars. Even an
old collar can be adjusted by the meth
oil mentioned. Called shoulders may
be avoided by taking off the collar each
night and washing it thoroughly. This
removes all Of the perspration and the
dust on the collar.

Hou,e-Made winimiIls.

The home made windmillS seem to
be most plentiful In the State of Ne
braska, along the broad valley of the
Platte river and from Omaha west to
the State line; for over five hundred
miles they are to be found In great
numbers. They are often crude In APP
pearance and of comparatively low efii-
cheney, but the aggregate amount of
work they do Is by no means insigni1-
cant. They will pump water for the
stock and house, run light machinery
about the farm, and sometimes furnish
water to irrigate small tracts of land.
The most important feature in the CON
struction OF these homemade mills Is
cheapness, hence the ingenuity of the
farmer Is shown by the use Of odds and
ends, which he works into his mill to
save the purchase Of new material. Old
wire and bolts, scrap lumber and old
poles, neglected parts of buggies, NOW
ers and reapers, cranks, chains and
sprocket wheels, all find their way into
these strange windmills. Many Of the
mills have cost their makers nothing
at all but time, others have cost So or
SO, and occasionally In the case of the
more elaborate ones the cost may run
to $50, $50 or $75, but $3.50 is the fair
average for very large number.-U,

ONE DAY AT WEST POINT.
Routine of Twenty-Four Hours at the Mil.
itaYv Academv

itdFf HCdu6my
There is rule for everything that the
cadet does during the day His walk
and his bodily carriage are prescribed by
regulation He marches to class at the
sound of bugle; he eats by command; ;
he must be precise in the way in which
he salutes an officer, or the officer will
stop him and call him to task. There
is even prescribed manner of greeting
a civilian. If the cadet is introduced to
one he must extend one hand while lift
ing his cap with the other At parting
he must again lift his cap. There is not
step he can take, not a word he can
say, not even a personal matter in his
days life that is not, in one way or an
other, governed by imperative rule.
AS soon as the police" work is done
it is time for the battalion to form and
march to breakfast at mess. Breakfast
is finished at about no Immediately
after it is over, sick calf rings out on
the bugle. Any cadet who feels that he
needs physician reports to the sur
geon-in-charge at the hospital.
Study and recitation last until a
o'clock. Across the quadrangle formed
by the four connecting wings of the
great academy building, sections may be
seen, as in the busy morning, marching
to and from recitation. 1t is another
period of the severest kind of instruction
while at 40 p. m, weather permitting,
drill begins, lasting until $50, This is
Immediately followed by dress-parade
At 6.3o formation for supper takes place
This meal lasts until o'clock.
At this time of day our young men
in civil life would feel very much abused
if any more work were asked of them.
Or cadet has the generous allowance
of thirty minutes for recreation" At
100 to the second, "call to quarters" is
sounded by one of those precise buglers
who are the bane of army life every
where in the civilized world. Straight TO
his quarters goes the cadet He must
now remain absolutely in his own room.
The minutes pass in study, the time
being all too short for the vast amount
of work that must be prepared for the
next day. If our cadet is phenome-
nally quick he may find time enough to
pick up pen and dash off few words
to the fond, anxious mother at home
Whatever he does, he cannot turn down
his mattress and make up his bed, nor
even stretch himself upon the hard Stats
before the moment prescribed in regula-
tons. Tactical officers or cadet officers
are likely to pop in upon him at all sorts
of unexpected times, and the slightest
infringement Of any rule must be at
once reported.
Tattoo" is another call that the bu-
glers are required to sound. 1t is equiv
alent to get ready for bed" but it is
not heard from the quadrangle until the
exact moment Of go has arrived. AS
soon as he hears this call the cadet is at
liberty to turn down his mattress and
make tip his bed By 10 O'Clock, when
that treless buglcr blows taps" which
means that all lights must be out, the
gas is turned off and the tired young
embeyo general falls into bed, to dream
again of home and other pleasant asso-
Citations until reveille rasps out once
more on the following morning
