ARE NOT MARRYING ARMY MEN.
Girls Turn Down the Wearers of Uncle
Sans Uniform.

Girls will not marry army men
now until the men establish them
selves in civil life, and vacancies at
West Point that used to be sought
eagerly go begging" says Lieut.. Col.
Edwin +. Glenn, Twenty-third in
fantry. He attributes this destruc-
ton of home life to the expansion of
the United States into world power
without corresponding expansion of
the army When the Spanish war
started, he says, there were Is regl-
ments of infantry and ten of cavalry.
Now there are only 80 infantry and Is
cavalry regiments. The health of the
troops can stand only two years in
the tropics, and they should have four
years at home to recuperate. With
Is regiments scheduled for the tropics,
one for Alaska, and only IA for home
duty, the necessary relief from trop-
ical service was impossible.
"A Filipino house, Glenn says.
"keeps out the sun and part of the
rain, but it abounds in creeping things
Of all kinds, including lizards and
snakes. Women stand this because
they are fools about their husbands"
Glenn has appealed to the Daugh-
ters Of the American Revolution to
help by arousing public sympathy.

Farm, PouItry.-We hear a great
deal about the operations Of profess

about the poultry being raised on the

come. A little improvement in all Of
the farm focks means a very great
improvement in the poultry industry

The authors have devised hopper

and on the front openings through
which the feed can be reached by the
poultry. A curved false bottom sep

Of the hopper from the trough in the

tuberculosis has been started in herds
by. the. introduction of animals from
outside sources. In some of the cases
the disease has come from pure bred
stock. In earlier years doubtless the
disease was spread relatively more
frequently in this way than in any
other, but now such an increasing

affected were among those purchased

both cattle and hogs it is exceedingly
difficult to recognize tuberculosis in

in the body loss of weight occurs, and
in the later stages emaciation. If the
disease is present in the lungs, as is
usually the case in CATTLE. hacking

therefore, that fowls should have &C.

constructed that it will keep clean
and will not clog or waste. It is very
similar in construction to the feed
hopper described above, except that it
is open above the trough instead of
closed in. According to the authors,
the cost of the hopper, which is made
of galvanized iron, should not exceed
81. The one column illustration shows
the appearance of the hopper and its
method of construction. The rounded
back and the overhanging lip in front
prevent waste. The slanting top is
also noticeable, as we'll as the eyes
at the back, by which the hopper
may be attached to the wall. The hop

by a cough, tuberculosis should be
suspected. In case the animal dies or
is slaughtered, an examination of in
terna organs should always be made.
The disease can generally be recog-
nized, even in the moderately early
stages, by the presence Of enlarged,
hardened glands along the windpipe,
in the lung tissue and often in the
body cavity. The liver when affected
has yellow assesses. Upon cutting
these tubercular growths in the body,
they are generally found to contain
yeAowish, or grayish yellow, cheesy
material, often firm and hard, and
gritty to. the knife, but sometimes, in
the more advanced stages, broken
down into creamy pus.
This disease, like all other COM
municable diseases, is produced solely
by the entrance of microscopic plant
organism, the bacillus of tuberculosis,
into the body of susceptible animal.
This germ multiplies rapidly in the

therefore spreading the same from the
time the tubercles or nodules in its
body begin to break down, until death
occurs. Not only lis the affected ami
mai itself a source of danger, but the
germs are distributed throughout the

disease to- be transmitted through the
medium Of infected quarters to
healthy stock even after the originally
diseased animals are removed.
The disease is generally introduced
into a herd either by the purchase Of
an animal having tuberculosis in the
early but unrecognized stages, or by
the use Of infected factory by-prod.

Pillars for Treasury Department.

A dozen or fifteen monolithic pillars
have already been quarried out at
Milford, N. H., and made ready for
shipment to Washington. for use on
the new front Of the treasury depart
ment. So huge are they that the task
of getting them out and shipping them
by water might fairly be termed spec
tacular.
The pillars for the north, south and
west porticos, constructed during the
COS, are each little over 80 feet
high and weigh 30 tons.
1t is matter of Importance that
the granite used for the present pur-
pose should match that of the rest
of the treasury building. Such granite,
it seems, is found only in New Eng
land, but there are quarries of it in
various places in that part Of the coun-
try, and the material from Milford
corresponds closely to that from Dix
Island.

Good Hoppers for Poultry Feeding
Save Labor and Avoid Underfeedina

In the dry feeding of poultry, which
is attracting considerable attention at
the present time, a hopper or some
similar device for supplying feed is es-
sential. Hopper feeding, according to
j. E. Rice and R. G. Lawry, of the
New York Cornell station, saves labor,
guards against undertaking, and
makes the keeping of fowls in large
flocks less Objectionable because it
avoids crowding, which is likely to
occur when considerable numbers are
fed wet mash.
Experiments which have been con-
Quoted at the New York Cornell sta
ton indicate chat for young fowls of
the laying varieties, kept for CONNER
cial egg production, the feeding of a
dry mash in a feed hopper which is
accessible at all times during the day
is to be recommended.
Whether the same system of feeding
will prove as satisfactory with old
fowls of the laying varieties or with
young fowls of the general purpose or
meat varieties, we have not yet de-
termined by actual comparative test.
Nor has it been proved that, the sys-
tenn can be used with safety with
breeding fowls. This is vital con-
sideration. The ultimate, test which
will decide whether or not the hopper
feeding of dry mash will be of univer-
sal application to the feeding of fowls,
will be the effect on the vigor of the
offspring. It is too early yet to de-
eide this point. Many practical feed
ers, however, conclude from an ex-
tended experience that the breeding
fowls having constant access to dry
mash will not suffer in health from
overeating or lack of exercise. We
feel certain at this time that hopper
feeding when properly employed has
genuine merit and will become an es
tablished practice To be successful

Art in Market Place.

Every one who is at all interested
in the cause of the arts of design in
America realizes that little progress
will be made in a wholesome direction
until design has been applied artisti-
cally and sanely to the ordinary COM
mercial usages. One of the happiest
illustrations of the application Of q
really artistic design to the common
est features of architectural practice
nowadays is to be observed in the
completed portion of the new Grand
Central. station at New York. Here
the architects have worked out in
wrought iron two simple designs in
angles and curves that without being
either finicky or tending toward struc-
tural weakness add materially to the
artistic appearance of the whole "a
cade. This is probably the first in.
stance in the architecture of New
York when the ordinarily clumsy steel
work on the facade of a building has
been fashioned into an artistic de-
sign.

WATCHING VERMONT
KEEN INTEREST IN NEXT TUES DAYS ELECTION.
Showing Made In This State of Gains or Losses to Either Party VIII
 Influence Shaping of Campaign.

New York. Aug. 30.-The outcome of the election Tuesday in Vermont is awaited with keen interest at the head quarters of the Republican and Demo- cratic National Committees in this city.
 The showing made in this State fin the matter of the number of voters who go to the polls and the gains or losses to either party in comparison with the vote of four years ago, will influence h no small degree the shap- Ing of the campaign in all of the Eastern States.
 It Is conceded that the Repu ublican party will win. but if the plurality is reduced by reason of Republican apathy, then it will stir that party in the East to renewed energy in trying to arouse enthusiasm and interest.
 Over confidence. the national cam paign managers are trying to guard against. Chairman Hitchcock has found disposition on the part of the Eastern managers Of the Republican eaplpaign to claim everything and ad- wise that the real work be done in Western States.
 To large degree. Mir. Hitchcock shares this view. but at the same time. has urged that there be no let up fin the vigor of the Eastern campaign.
 President Roosevelt Is reported to have told the officials of the Congress sional Campaign Committee who called on him at Oyster Bay a few days ago, that the way to prevent political apathy from getting a hold on the voters is to keep out of political head quarters. It is likely, therefore, that the campaign in the East will be every bit as brisk as in Western States. where 1t Is known that the race win be close.
 The speaking campaign throughout the entire country VIII open about Sept. IS. and from that time on, politi- cal rallies will closely follow each other in every State where there Is the slightest doubt as to the result.
 Another test of sentiment will come with the Maine election on Sept. IS. The speaking campaign there has been going on for more than a week, and great interest has been shown. The Republicans do not excepot to get as large a plurality as they did four years ago, but are struggling to se- cure from 12,O00 to 15.00o. which the State Republican leaders term their nominal plurality.
