huge copper soup couldrons, coffee, tea and milk urns, the latter automat- ically connected; meat slicing ma chimes, cutting hundreds of slices in a few moments, and an egg broiling ap- paratus, where five hundred eggs are cooked in a few seconds.
 One of the ingenious labor saving contrivances in use which would be a | joy to the average housewife to see in operation is the dish washing machine. This is arranged in horseshoelink fashion. The plates and dishes to be cleaned are stacked in round wire baskets. A basket is lifted up by 8 travelling machine, with hoops attach ed, and then submerged for a short | time in three circulaE tanks. The first tank contains soap and lukewarm wa ter; the next clear hot water. These two remove all the meat particles. The last Is a dip into broiling hot bath. This final plunge serves for drying, so that no after wiping with cloths is ne- cessary. The ware is put on the racks | ready for the next meal, Thousands of assorted dishes are cleaned and got | out of the way in fifteen or twenty minutes. The operator stands in the centre and simply lowers and raises the loaded basket into the tanks by hand pressure.
 Two articles of the cadet mess are especially noteworthy, namely, the milk and bread. More than one hun dred and fifty gallons of milk are con- stunned daily. Over across the Hudson. some eight miles back, a half dozen from the village, among the high hills of Putnam County, which are cover cd with wealth of green pasturage, | the dairy is located. Here roam a herd of about one hundred choice cows, whose milk is used exclusively for the cadet mess Every morning at 7 a. m. a mule team leaves the farm and places the 15O gallons or more of milk on board the a. m. ferryboat at ! Garrisons. The estate of two thousand acres is owned h3r ss iSSfr. Jordan, yet the government has charge of the hygienic features and recommends the appliances used. Captain Franklin and medical experts go at various times on tours of inspection, to ex- I anime the catle, stables, drainage, ventilation, food water. yards, pas ture. methods of milking and all mat | ters connected with health. As bacteria get into the milk through lack of cleanliness in milking and careless handling of it afterward, clean suits are required to be worn by the milk CTS and the utensils are all rinsed by g powerful blast of steam. Soon after delivery at the mess the cans are emp tied into sterilizing and Pasteur- I ing plant and carried through three successive temperatures. The first is 1S0 degrees Fahrenheit, a temprature fatal to bacteria and all germ life. At this high heat it is kept several min utes. From this it passes into the se- cond receptacle, having temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and finally cools to 40 degrees in the third. From the latter 1t is run into freshly steam ed cans and placed in the cold room, ready for the table.
 | The mess bakery is likewise one of the most up to date and scientific to he found anywhere, and no city es- tablishment can excel 1t as to quality, cleanliness and production of bread. A feature of the bread is the light ,I brown crust obtained by uniform heat in baking, the fire being at the back of the oven, instead of the front, as Is the case in most bakeries. Rools and buns are baked in a large, sliding rack, with shelves holding a hundred or so. The whole, when filled, is run into the oven and withdrawn again at the proper time. The mess consumes four hundred and fifty pounds of bread a day.
 A new branch of the commissary de- apartment has just been created, na4ne- ly, 8 training school for bakers for the United States army. The first one has recently been put in operation at Fort Riley, Kansas, under the super vision of Captain Michael S. Murry, of the subsistence department This is modelled in equipment after the West Point plant, where Captain Murray re. gently spent some time in experiment. ing and noting the working of bread making machinery there. After a few months instruction at the bakers
 school the men will be assigned tc
