FARM WORK AS A PLEASURE
Agriculture Lacks Interest When
Natures Ways Are Not Needed,
rom the Craftsman.

rIVm tFdltSmun
The field might just as easily have been
beautiful as ugly. and have fallen in with
the general plan of the landscape just as
readily a natural meadow or clearing
among the trees. 1t would have been Just
as fertile and just as easy to work if we
had taken account of the farm as a whole
and had planned it as carefully with reIa-
we would now plan a landscape garden;
that the skill to do SO would of course
have been very limited does not enter into
the case; the point is that the interest
would have been there 1t would have
been a delight-a piece of real creative
work instead of drudgery to be done as
soon as possible that there might be some
little time left for the pleasure which was
regarded as separate thing.
The fact that pleasure is always con-
sdered separate thing from work on
the farm Is the whole root of the matter.
To the city man or the man who has gone
back to the farm for peace and relief
from other cares the work in itself is the
pleasure. If the interest of the farmer
could once be reused to the point of find
ing that same pleasure for himself and
teaching his children to find it there would
be no need of all this talk and effort to
prevent the exodus from the country to
the city. And II the agricultural schools
could succeed In giving to the country
boy sufficient knowledge of the interest
and significance that really lies in every
stroke of work he does: of the active
mental effort that should go into farm
dng as we'll into any other form of
business, we should no longer have to
complain of the falling off of our agri-
culture as compared with our manufac-
lures

Passing of the Marines.
the New York World


President Roosevelt's order TO Withdraw
the marines from the Warships might as
well be an order abolishing the force A
bill to the latter effect was introduced in
Congress a few years ago, but was buried
when the gallant record of the Marine
Corps was presented eloquently to the
House.
Naval officers have long objected to the
presence of marines on board their ships.
The antipathy of the sailor to seagoinE
soldiers runs still further back and is
traceable to one Of the original officers of
the marines-that of doing police duty on
the ships and of preventing the organlZa-
ton of mutineers. Go tell it to the ma
rines,' tan expression OF common usage)
had its origin I'm the contempt of the
sailormen for the ships infantry.
In the British navy the Marine Corps
was established in 1864 and has been sew
eral times abolished and restored. The
institution OF the corps I'm the United
States service dates from June. 1915. and
there has never been a disestabishment,
though the marines practically disappear
ed for the period following the revolution
when the navy also faded away.
Our marines have fought CALAMITY In

new NAVY YARD SEA WALL
ADMIRAL HOLIDAY ASKS FOR
APPROPRIATION.
Total of $341, 900 Is Wanted for
Improvements to Buildings
and Machinery.

Estimates aggregating S341 600 are sub
mtted by Rear Admiral Hollyday, chief
or the naval bureau of yards and docks.
! for improvements at the navy yard for
the coming fiscal year. One of these esti-
mates is for $4,000 to complete the quay
wall at the yard. Admiral Hollyday says
that the present wall in front of the yard
is in poor conditiop. crooked and bulging
in many places, and with quite a depth
of mud in front of it. BY building a new
wall of proper design, sixteen feet in front
of the present wall, he says, a space of
1880 square feet may be gained Dredg-
ing can then be accomplished without
danger to the wall, and ships can lie in
front Of it, which is not the case at pres
ent. The lack of proper wall at this
point" says Admiral Hollyday, has for
some time past Obstructed the work of
the War Department, which has not been
able to carry out it's project at that point
in consequence.
An appropriation of $3.50, 600 is asked for
the purchase of land and to make a
change in the existing railroad system.
This item has been submitted hereto
FORE says Admiral Hollyday, land the
appropriation is necessary in view of the
act of Congress entitled AN act to author
lie the construction of railroad siding
to the United States navy yard, and for
other purposes Under this act the yard
will be entered at the southeast corner
and connection will be made with the
yard railroad system. The previous con-
nection was at the northwest corner. and
1t will be necessary with the newly estab-
lfshed connection to build freight yard
where the railroad company can deliver
and receive loaded cars
THE railroad company will not allow
It's equipment to pass over the yard rail-
road tracks, as 1t is in violation Of the
provisions of the safety appliance act re-
garding automatic couplers. The freight
yard Is considered an absolute neces-
sity. as the number of cars entering the
yard daily is quite large as many as six
ty cars having been brought into the yard
over Sunday. The purchase of the pro-
posed tract of land will also provide addi-
tional water front, and while this Is not
the object in the purchase, the water
| front can be advantageously utilized
An estimate of $2O,OOO Is made for i'm
provements to building Al. 1t Is proposed
to raise that portion of the roof of build
ing Al over the shrinking pit distance Of
twenty-five feet so as to afford ample
| room for assembling the large guns and
erecting supports for an SO-ton travelling
| crane over the pit
Other estimates are submitted al fol-
| lows: For raising the concrete and as
! phalt floor in the north end Of the store
| house for guns and mounts, $1,000: for
| placing concrete roof on the foundry
| building. $4,000; for building a concrete
| floor on the basement of building IL.
$1,000; for painting the outside walls OF
