While it is true that the country
managed to get along with a much
smaller army than at present, it can
not be said that this policy was
demonstrated to be either safe or
sufficient. At the outbrake of the
Civil war and of the Spanish war
the delays and confusion resulting
from having to equip, transport and
instruct large bodies of more or less
raw recruits were costly. Had there
been a sufficient nucleus of trained
and disciplined troops much of the
confusion and delay and much of the
diseases and disaster due to having
to rush u%nprepared levies to the
front would have been obviated. To
those who can't get away from the
idea that the United States is still a
strip Of sea coast inhabited by 5000,
600 persons, who seem to act on the
theory that the flint lock musket is
still the standard arm and who have
not learned by four experiences that
our insulation does not insure us
perpetual peace the maintenance Of
an army that would not make a fair
sized corps in a real conflict is a
horrible nightmare. But there is
M comfort; most Of them would get
bravsly over their fears il they
should ever wake up to find them
selves armed with authority to
reduce the army and face to face
with the responsibility for such a
course. 1t would be criminal folly
and most Of those who voted for that
democratic army platform know it,.

SCREW BOWELS.


face view and longitudinal section.l
of these woods under the rail and
around the spike raises a new set of
problems.
In driving a spike into a white oak
tie the strong aud elastic fiber of the
wood Is bent downward, maintaining
a close contact, so that powerful re-
sistance Is offered to its withdrawal.
When driven into such woods as hem
lock and western yellow, lodge pole. lob
Jolly or short leaf pine, the fbers of the
wood are crushed and broken. AS a
result the spikes do not hold with suf-
hcient hrmness. The spike must soon
be driven in a new place, and this con-
slant respiking rapidly ruins the tie.
The solution Of this difficulty is
achieved by the use Of a screw spike.
In the soft woods screw spikes will re-
sist nearly three times as great a strain
as nail spikes. II inserted in q screw
dowel Of hard wood the power of the
screw spike Is still greater.

Minute Life.

The microscope teaches us that there
are animals SO wonderfully minute
that IL n thousand OF them were rank
ed abreast they could easily swim,
without being thrown put of order,
through the eye of the finest cambria
needle ever made. Yet each Of the
minute creatures Is a highly organized
number Of particles, capable of moving
about, of finding and devouring food
and Of behaving in all respects as be-
comes an animal as distinguished from
a fragment Of unorganized matter.
The human mind Is utterly incapable
Of realizing the structure of these lit
tie creatures and OF fully approaching
their marvellous adaptation to the life
they are destined to lead.-Sir Robert

The Real Dairy Cow.
There are thousands of farmers milk
ing cows and either selling cream or
milk and cream who do not know how
much il costs them to produce the milk
they market, says Farmers Advocate.
We know there are many who hold
that they can probably milk a beef
type of animal. They argue that they
raise a valuable calf and the butter fat
they get Is clear profit. We do not in
tend to meet this argument. There Is
a fair profit made by many who follow
this kind Of dairying The greatest
profits. however, are made by those
who specialize.
The true dairy COW is the COW for
the dairyman first, last and all the
time. She consumes no more feed and
frequently less than the beef type and
yields enough more butter fat to COM
pensate for the difference in the calf
value.

FORM OF HALF ROUND TIE.
[Cut from a log of inferior lumber vaEue,l
periments designed to prevent the ex-
haustion of the timbers from which
ties are made.
The latest results of these investiga-
lions, as stated by DR.. Hermann Won
Schrenk. make ii appear that a trape-
Zoidal or modified half round tie, with
a base of ten to twelve inches and a
top bearing surface of six inches, dis
tributes the weight of moving train
loads upon the roadbed as effectively
as a rectangular tie ten to twelve inches
broad. The half round tie is good for
the lumberman because in numerous
instances two ties of this form can be
made from a log which would furnish
but one rectangular tie. In other cases
material for several boards is saved
where a rectangular tie would have
taken the entire log. This form is bene-
ciaI to the forest, since ii encourages
the cutting of large trees and the saw
ing of small ones until they reach more
valuable size and permits the u%tiliza-
ton of much timber from the tops,
hitherto left in the woods. The half
round tie is advantageous from a me-
chanical standpoint also because it
gives greater bearing surface per mile
and a correspondingly more stable track
than rectangular ties. This tie form is
therefore advocated by the bureau of
forestry as economical of timber. con-
sentative of the lumber supply and at
the same time equally efficient with the
forms in common use.
The commonest as well as the best
tie material of the past and present in
this country is white oak, which re-
sists both wear and decay excellently
and is consequently cheaper in the long
run than less expensive woods like
beech, red oak or loblolly and lodge
pole pine. But white oak. besides be-
ing one Of our finest timber trees, is
becoming high priced and, further, as
railroad men know well, is becoming
scarce even faster than the advancing
price would indicate.
With proper methods preventative
treatment of the softer woods can be
made entirely successful. and impreg-
nation with creosote, zinc chloride or
other antiseptic substances allows the
use of many woods hitherto passed
over as well as of sawed ties, sapwood
and dead timber. Preservative treat
ment can make a beech or red oak or
pine tie outlast a white oak tie. But
