UNCLE SAM IS HUNTING
FOR NAVAL SURGEONS

WASHINGTON. - Notwithstanding
w the superior inducements which a
naval career offers for young physic-
ian over the uncertain and overworked
lines of the average struggling general
practitioner the medical corps Of the
navy has not found 1t possible to Sc
cure enough naval surgeons to meet
the needs of the service.
Admiral Rixey, surgeon general OF
the navy, has adopted extraordinary
measures to meet the case, even going
so far as to send circulars to many OF
the best medical colleges soliciting
applications from the graduates for
appointment as naval surgeons. And
to make the offer more tempting the
surgeon general has undertaken to
give temporary appointments as act
ing assistant surgeons" to the young
men who will pass a satisfactory pre-
llminary examination and come to
Washington for instruction.
They will receive six months spe-
cial training at the naval medical
school and hospital recently establish
ed here or at the Mare island naval
hospital in the case of applicants from
the Pacific coast. At the end of that
course the graduates will receive ap-
pointments as assistant surgeons with
an annua, salary Of $1,750, supple

COMMISSIONER BALLINGER of the
- general land office has recommend
cd to Secretary Garfield general re-
organization of the force of his Office.
The secretary has the matter under
consideration and while no official an
nouncement has been made of his in
tentions 1t is known that he approves
Mr.. Ballinger's plan and 1t is expect
cd that it will soon be put into effect.
The first dismissals will be made in
the division of the Office in which
land patents are proposed. There are
about rs clerks in that division, and
of those about Is or 20 will be relieved
from duty. The reason for immediate
action Is the fact that the law pro-
vides for the typewriting of the pat
ents and the recorded copies of them.
Many of the employees are elderly per-
sons who have been on the rolls for
a long time and who can not use the
typewriter.
The lowest salaries paid in the di-
vision is 5000 per annum, and the COM
missioner complains that many of the
employees can not earn that amount

mented by allowances OF $432 and
mileage and other Inducements.
The difficulty in securing applicants
lies in the fear Of the examination to
which they must submit Admiral
Rixey insists that this fear Is un-
founded if the applicant has been prop
erly grounded in the principles Of med
icine, while for the collateral exam
ination" which the candidates must
take, this is nothing more than an
elementary test of the candidates
general knowledge of English, arith-
metic and literature, and even knowl-
edge of foreign languages is not es-
sential.
Not even these comparatively sim
pie requirements, however, 1t Is
stated, are met by the majority Of ap-
plicants, which in the opinion Of the
naval medical corps is severe COM
mentary upon the training afforded by
many medical institutions. The short
age of doctors in the navy has become
really serious. To-day there are "a va
cancies in a corps that at its maxi
mum should number only $50, and un-
less the deficiency can bo supplied
normally before the end Of the calen-
dar year congress will be asked to add
to the inducements now held out to
applicants by considerably increasing
the pay of naval surgeons.

GENERAL PURPOSE HORSE.
Best Results Obtained from Medium
Weight Animals.

l get the best results from horses
weighing 1900 to 1900 pounds, writes
a farmer in Orange Judd Farmer
These horses are used for general pur-
poses. They must have good action,
be compactly built, something on the
old Morgan type, but a little larger
Such horses are large enough to haul
reasonable load and can do good
days work on the average farm. They
are useful on the road for light work.
The most useful horses for my gen.
eral work are good, snappy crea-
lures.
have but little trouble in breaking
cur colts, as we treat them kindly,
handling them considerably while they
are young. We never have any trou-
BILE with them when they are old
enough to break. / believe In giving
good care to colts rs well as work
horses. In my experience, horse not
properly cared for as a colt does not
develop as early as one that receives
proper attention. Horses should also
be housed in bad weather. l believe
in giving plenty Of good, wholesome
food. Horses should have special at
tention, and the man who succeeds is
the one who keeps close eye on the
individuals.

stirred his ambition. In 1868, the boy
who is now president raised fund by
popular subscription for the purpose
of library for the officers and crew
OF the Rival, all Of whom were his
friends.
At the head of a delegation of
youngsters he visited the ship when 1t
next came into port and with due
ceremony presented the library, con-
sisting of 45 volumes, to the skipper.
The presentation speech was made by
Mr. Roosevelt. When reminded few
days ago of this event by an old friend
the president said he remembered it
perfectly and that frequently he had
wondered IL any Of the officers or crew
OF the Rival were still alive, and, II
SO, II they remembered his speech.
Il thought 1t was a mighty fine
speech said he, "and so did Captain
Doane"

STOCK NOTES.

Broken colts are less valuable than
trained ones. Note the difference.
1t is not what horses are worth
now, but what they are likely to be
worth four years from now that should
regulate the number OF colts to be
raised next year.
1t is almost impossible to destroy
hen lice when they once get start
on the horse. Horses should not be
quartered near hen house, nor
should chickens be allowed to roost
near the horses stall.
It has been said that there is nof
a section Of the country where o
leguminous crop cannot be raisot
or where q domestic animal CANNOT
be kept to eat the legume. The live
stock belt II as wide and long az the
nation.
There is one horse to each family
in the United States. In other words.
there are enough horses in the ma
ton. II each one were hitched to q

Individual Hoo Houses.

The folly Of keeping large num-
Der of hogs in small inclosure Is
shown by the unusual fatality this
season. The old notion that hogs
could take most any sort of treatment
has been responsible for heavy losses
this season. Hogs are subject to
colds and lung troubles. Whenever
we permit them to crowd into tight
sheds, In large numbers, we are invit.
ing such calamity. The sensible way
to house either hogs or the breeding
sows, Is to build small houses and
scatter them about the fields. With
farrowing sows. each one should be
provided with an individual house. but
with the Other hogs six or eight can
bunk In one Of these houses very
nicely. Build half-dozen or more
and try them.

serious outbreak, the best remedy Is to
apply salve or poultices to the affected
parts. One of the best salve mixtures
Is olive oil, four parts and acetic acid,
one part. Battle the, swollen parts
freely twice each day with this mix
ture. AS poultice, nothing is better
than hot bran, using about half gal
Ion of the bran for each horse. To this
should be added two tablespoonfuls Of
the following MIXTURE: Neatsfoot oil,
one quart; spirits Of camphor, eight
ounces; pulverized mustard, six
ounces.
The illustration accompanying this
article shows how the bandage should
be fastened on the head. Take COM
mon grain sack and cut the ends into
four strips, but leave the middle of the
sack whole.
Place the poultice on white cloth
under the swollen part, then under 1t
place the whole part of the sack, says
Journal of Agriculture. Securely sew
the ends of the strips together over
the top of the head, allowing one band
to rest in front Of the eyes, another
between the eyes and ears and the
remaining two over the neck back Of
the ears.
One-fourth Of pint Of Glauber salts
may be administered twice each day
in the soft feed. If there is great
deal of fever, give half teaspoonful
of iodide of potash once each day In

carbolic acid solution twice each
month, whitewashing the stall at least
once each month and occasionally
scrubbing the floors Of the stalls are
measures which will generally prevent
an outbreak. In addition to this the
animal should have an abundance Of
exercise and pure air. 1t is known that
