Referring to small arms practice, General
Chafree says that the inspector recommends
that a large permanent rife range be Sc
cured in the vicinity of Washington for the
use of troops stationed thereabouts and for
department, national and international
competitions. and suggests that a board of
officers be convened to locate an available
and suitable site, and that steps be taken
to acquire the same. General Chaffee SAYS:
II fully concur in this recommendation
Year by year 1t Is growing more and more
difficult to obtain by lease grounds that are
suitable and safe for rife practice. The
range OF the rife and carbine are now 80
great that extraordinary measures must be
taken to make secure against infection Of
accidental injuries in the country adjacent
to the ranges. It seems necessary, there
fore, to concentrate the firing at as few
ranges AZ practicable which may be made
really safe. It IL believed that weather
conditions in the vicinity OF Washington are
favorable for q practice season Of ample
length to afford time to complete work by
all troops convenient to send there"

Woman xncIoSed In ~Iseel
Globe Forces IT Up and
DoeUsi q .Sreep Incline.


London theater goers have been
much impressed by most remarkable
feat performed by a woman, Miss
Belle Stone. ,.... ... I'D. ......... ..,..
The element Of mystery attaching to
the performance is perhaps its most
interesting feature, since no one quite
understands how the feat is carried
out. Acrobats have assembled upon re-
volving balls, and trick cyclists have
ridden their machines up equally steep
slopes. But Miss Belle Stone climbs
the spiral in a tightly closed steel
globe. Taking one half Of the ball on
her head, Miss Stone steps into the
other at the foot of the ascending road.
Then, crouching into a wonderfully
small space, she screws the two halves
together, and slowly but surely the
ball winds Its way to the top.
The descent is probably even more
difficult and is naturally little quick.

EARLY PEA aRADUS.

used on the row Of Gradus and Sur
prise, and the length Of time this treat
cd row continued to grow, blossom and
bear was the comment Of the household
and Of the visitors. In fact, when the
second and third rows Of Surprise and
Its other half were pulled up there
were still peas to pick and blossoms to
be seen In this first planting of both
Gradus and Surprise.
The conclusion as to tn, value Of the
different kinds Is given ,s follows In
the journal mcntioned:
Surprise Is grand pen. It is grand
because 1t combines quality and pro-
ductiFeness without much vine and be.

On the piece of ground tried where the
water Is within fifteen inches Of the
surface American Wonder Bliss Album
dance and Bliss Everbcarlng were
tried. One vine was as vigorous and
thrifty as another. But the bearing
and quality were not as good.
You ask what does this lead us to de-
eide as the best or what in our opinion
it would be advisable to plant? We
would say for the amateur gardener
First, II would be Surprise and Gradus
for carly; second, Surprise and Cham
pion Of England; third, If we could
have but one pea it would be Surprise.

great point In institute work Is the ed
ucative effect. 1t gets men to talking,
to reading agricultural journals and
books, to thinking and doing better.
New ways Of doing things on the farm
will bo discussed and tried. New and
better farm implements will be pur-
chased and used. The farmers begin to
respect themselves more and farm bet
ter and make more money. They will
improve their homes, educate their
children and brighten up the farms.
They will diversity their farm opera
tions, branch out into side lines, such
rs trucking, fruit, cattle and poultry.
In thousand ways improvement will
be visible, because you have set the
