There are many communities in Ne
braska which have come to enjoy a large
measure of prosperity because of an
intelligent study of dairying. Nebraska
is rapidly advancing in the quantity,
and in the excellence of her dairy pro-
ducts. Shall this industry make such
development as will place Nebraska in
the first rank dairy state? 1t will if the
young men of Nebraska make themselves
acquainted with the science of dairy
husbandry. The University of Nebraska
School of Agriculture which begins,
November 18th, 1901, offers a thorough
course in dairy ~husbandry. Young men
cannot afford to miss such an opportu-
nifty to fit themselves for good positions
as managers of dairy farms.

The Act Of Congress recognizing the
Regular Army of the United States pro-
vided, among other things, that the List
Of General Officers should consist of one
Lieutenant-General, six Major-Generals
and Is Brigadier Generals.
Survey of the careers of our % Gener-
ais of all grades reveals certain facts
unique in the history of our Army and
not likely to occur again. The most
interesting of these facts is that out of
the entire list, only three are graduates
of the National Military Academy. The
other 10 began either as company officers
of volunteers in the civil war, as enlisted
men in the Volunteers, or by appointment
from civil life as LieutenantS in the Reg
ular Army; except one who was a medical
officer, and one a Volunteer Colonel in
the Spanish War, and one private sol
dier in the ranks of the Regular Army.
As has been suggested, such a state of
things has never existed before, and when
the last of the veteran Generals of the
civil war shall have retired by age, the
unique situation must disappear; for there
will be no one of his own kind and class
available for his place. The operation of
the retirement law will eliminate all this
class of general officers within the next
eight years. At the same time the few
civil war veterans who are now regimen
tai officers will also have been retired
by age. Therefore the Army List for the
year 1909 must be filled in the general
