EXAMINATIONS
FOR OFFICERS

Last week the examination of officers
of the National Guard OF California IN
the jurisdiction of the Second Brigade
was actively begun before Colonel
Hayes of the Fifth Infantry and Cap
tain Margo. members of the examining
board. The officers examined were +:
Lieutenant Colonel McCreagh of the
First Infantry and Lieutenant Colonel
Bush, Smith, Haven and Eggert. Nc
Julliard of the Fifth, Majors Poulter,
Creagh and Eggert were for examina-
tion as to their qualifications for the
position to which each was recently ad-
vanced, and they as well as the others
were examined in everything from
definitions to and including advance
and rear guard work.
To each officer there was submitted
series of written questions, and each
was required to furnish written re-
ply to every question. This was
an innovation in the matter of exam
nations and it was found not so easy
as answering orally, but at the expira-
tion of two hours and a half each Of
hcer handed in his signed answers and
these will be considered by the board
1t was an extraordinary task for some
of the officers and there are number
who are very anxious to know II their
answers were correct. The answers
must conform to the new drill regula-
tions, which are different in many re-
spects from those used in the past.
Division Inspector Roster was pres
ent during the session, and at the close
of the work was the host at supper
for the wearied officers.
Captain H. G. Mathewson, who for
four years has been in command of
Company D. First Infantry, has been
appointed adjutant of the First Infan-
try by Colonel Filmer, vice John j.
West, who at his own request has been
placed on the retired list Captain
Mathewson has been in the guard since
1885 and served with the California
Volunteers in the Philippines.
Colonel Filmer will retain Captain
Choynskl as quartermaster and Cap
tain Adler as commissary of the regi-
ment; also Rev. j. P. McQuaide as
chaplain.
The site at Glen Park for shooting
range has been accepted and 1t is being
put in condition for the troops. 1t will
be ready by the end of the current
month.
Colonel Thomas F. ONeil, Lieutenant
Colonel j. f. Connolly and Captain j.
j. West, all of the First Infantry have,
at their personal request, been placed
on the retired list by order from head
quarters. The order simply announces
the retirement and gives the service of
each, but does not say word of praise
fer the service these officers during a
period of twenty years rendered to the
state or for that which they rendered
to the country while serving in the
Philippines.
More than three months ago the ar
mory of Company G, Fifth Infantry, at
Alameda, was destroyed by. fire and the
company lost all its equipment, which
as yet has not been replaced
Major Wilhelm, u. S. A, retired will
before the middle of the current month
begin an inspection of the guard of
the State under instructions from the
War Department. 1t is not known
whether an inspection will be held at
the same time by the State inspector.

RAISING FRUIT BY STEAM.
French Growers Experimenting in
Hope Of Getting Two Crops
Year.

The French agricultural department
is working on a series Of experiments
Suggested by fire occurring in one Of
the rural districts, in which the great
er portion of small town was con-
sumed.
The flames encompassed several
orchards, and it was found that such
of the trees as were not scorched by
the flames put forth second set Of
buds and were soon in full flower.
Through a system of underground
steam pipes it is believed that two
crops a season may be forced in the
south of France and that the yield Of
the orchard may more than repay the
cost of fuel.
The experiments. says the New
York Herald, are designed to start
the budding in the early spring and to
nrotect the second product in the late
fall.
Orange raisers in Florida frequently
resort to huge bonfires in order to
avert the loss Of crops through sud-
den frosts and possibly steam-heated
orchards will become the proper caper
in the course of few years.

GOAT BUTTER.
No Reason Why Animals, IF Healthy,
Should Not Be Utilized in
Dairy.

Answering an inquiry in Hoard's
Dairyman as to the value of goats milk
for butter, Prof Harrington says:
Il know of no reason why goats milk.
II the goat is healthy and receives sound.
wholesome food, is not as valuable for
butter making as cows milk, and Il the
milk is we'll taken care of and has no bad
odors you will probably never know the
difference If some goats milk is added to
the cows milk which comes to your fac
tory. You can yourself judge as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of accepting the goats milk
by inspecting it before you receive it.
I certainly do not know why it should
injure the butter, neither do know of
any law in this state that forbids the
making of butter from goats milk. II
the goats milk is richer and increases
the test, the patron bringing the milk
should get the credit for the increase.
and do not see why this should be an
objection"

A Theory Of Egg Moisture.

A writer on poultry subjects in an
exchange says that the egg gets rid
of it's moisture more by reason Of the
pressure from within than by reason
OF the evaporation from its surface.
He says: "As an evidence of this, in
fertile eggs do not lose much in size
or weight, while a fertile egg loses
one-sixth in weight and one-sixtieth in
size" This theory does not appear very
sound, says Farmers Review. The fact
seems to be that the infertile egg loses
more moisture than the fertile egg. One
of the ways Of testing eggs that have
been incubated for some time is to put
them in water and see If they will float.
The !nfertile eggs float and the eggs
with chicks in them sink to the bottom.
which is strong evidence that the in
fertile eggs have lost more moisture
than the fertile ones.

Worms and Grubs for Birds.

Meal worms and maggots are worms
most commonly used by bird stores
and by bird breeders, also for raising
pheasants and quail. Procure a
sleeps liver and hang it where it will
be fly blown. Let the maggots develop
and as they grow and drop off they
can he caught in a pan. A supply Of
these is particularly useful in raising
pheasants.
To raise meal worms, half fill an
earthen jar with bran, in which bury
some pieces of old flannel. Place in
the bran small quantity of meal
worms and cover with piece Of cloth,
which should be dampened occasional
u. It should be left undisturbed for q
lsw months, when there will be thou
sands of worms.-Farm and Home.

1T all took place in the small room
next to the court room. Percy, be-
ing an enterprising young reporter, had
strayed into the ante-room in the hope
that he might pick up some informa-
ton before the court opened for the
day. He was addressed by . person
behind him.
II would like to see you and Mr..
Hopkins alone, sir. Is he here?"
The speaker was a short, fat-legged
gentleman, evidently one Of the law
yers in the approaching case, who had
mistaken Percy for some one else. Here
was a great chance to get inside in
formation under false pretenses. SO
he replied, non-committally: mo.
haven't seen him lately"
The little man glared angrily.
"What!" he cried, "what, sir? This
is outrageous!" He shook an ofhcial-
looking document in his companion s
face as though by that act he abjured
Mr.. Hopkins and his sort forever, and
then drew confidentially closer. "Your
lawyer, sir, seems bent upon nothing
but 70 secure large fee.' as
So Mr.. Hopkins was his lawyer, and
Percy himself was the hard-hearted
defendant! He rather enjoyed the sit
uation. II know no reason why he
should see me-" he said.
The lawyer. after putting and blow
ing for some time, wiped his perspir-
ing forehead with a large handker-
chief and smiled benignantly. Il am
