General James Allen. the chief signal
officer Of the army. left Washington on
Tuesday for Oman and Fort Leavenworth
Kan. for the purpose OF observing IN,
work at those places In which signal corps
officers are engaged. Very little work Is
contemplated at the signal corps depot al
Omaha during the present year, but some.
thing is proposed in the way Of military
aeronautics and field work generally al
Fort L~eavenworth. TO which place from
Omaha has been sent on a practice march
field company u. under Captain W. II. curry.
II is expected that that company will re-
main at Fort Deavenworth about a month,
taking part with Company A in exercises
and other demonstrations for the benefit
Of the signal corps officers under ~instrrc-
ton at that post. 1t the termination of
that period the company from Omaha will
return TO its station. The program Of mil
itary ~aeronautics at Fort L-eavenworth
has not been definitely determined upon,
but It is intended to do much work in the
line Of observation with the dirigible. A
balloon Of that type which has been at
Fort Myer, together with the gas plant
from that post, has been shipped to Leav-

Among the most important Of the ques-

tary authorities is that which has been
submitted to a special board of army Of
Ulcers, of which the head is Colonel n. A.
Greene, Tenth infantry. and which is to
hold its sessions at Rock Island Arsenal.
The problem before that board Is the de-
termination Of the burden Of the foot-sold-
Ter In an effort to ascertain n It may be
reduced in weight or in what direction
and by what means II may be modified.
At present, the soldier carries very nearly
one-half his own weight in the way Of
arms, accouterments and c~lothing-or, to
be more exact, he has a dead weight OF
fifty-eight pounds and eight ounces, Of
which forty-six pounds and four ounces
are his arms and accouterments. There
are some things lacking which experts con-
slider should be a part of the material he
must carry in the field when in fighting

Charles X. Mason, Nineteenth infantry, for
examination and practical test. It is de-
sired to obtain a recommendation of a suit
able garment which will serve the purposes
OF the poncho or slicker. The reports
which have been made on the subject will
be forwarded to Rock Island with the
sample garments. There has also been sent
to Rock Island the new campaign hat as
tentatively adopted by the general staff.
This hat is somewhat lower in the crown

article of headgear. The instructions TO the
Rock Island board are that the new hat
shall be critically examined in comparison
with the service hat, the latter worn with

We should have fewer run down and

For the sake of saving a few dol

entirely and completely separated

mill that has yet been introduced. It
is at least questionable if any tanning
mill certainly and ~assuredly takes all
the cookie out of wheat without caus.
ing SO much of the crop to be blown
over the sieve that the operation
would not be completely satisfactory.
But clean seed can soon be got in
another way. The farmer can SOW
an acre or two for seed and handpick
the cookie out of it. when it is in
bloom. In this way clean seed will
be obtained. If the seed from year to
year is from the wheat thus grown,
the fields will soon be free from
cookie. OF course, with the tanning
mill alone the cookie may be reduced
to a small amount. but it is question
able if every grain can be removed.

Z piece Of land but a few days or a few
months at a time.
1t would pay to have every field in
the farm fenced, as there is scarcely
a crop grown that at some time or
other does not furnish feed for sheep.
Most farmers, however, do not find
themselves in a position to do this,
but they can, every one of them, do
the next best thing and hat is fence,
say, three, five or ten acre fields. and
practice upon these a three year TO-
tatlon which will give a pasture crop
each year, or if they prefer, SOW them
all to pasture, and alternate them be-.
tween hogs, sheep and cattle, or lust
sheep and hogs.
The alleged cost of fencing is the
hedge behind which many seek to
i in %excusing themselves for not
using pastures. Yet as a matter of
fact, figures show that practically any
where in the northwest, a five acre
field can be fenced at an annual cost
of $3.50 or $40 an acre, allowing ten
years as the life of the fence. Ger
talnly this sum canno be regarded as
prohibitive. AS compared with the
cheap and excellent feeds it makes it
possible to use, it is not worthy of
consideration.
The man who is attempting to grow
sheep without pasture is making a big
mistake. He is not growing his sheep
as economically and as we'll as he
might, nor is he realizing the maxi
mum benefits to his soil as a result
OF his sheep industry.

n1tZ, in the Illuminated World Life.
They are productive and cost nothing
but the price of the seed, and the la
Dor of producing them. All the labor
of harvesting and storing and feeding
these crops is saved; the sheep get
all the good of the crop, and they get
1t in the field where it grows. For
cheapness of feed, pastures are not
to be outdone.
Not alone are they cheap, but they
furnish the most desirable sort of feed
for sheep. Succulent, palatable, bulky
enough, yet possessed of all the nutri-
ment needed. No feed could be more
readily digested than these pasture
crops for the cell walls surrounding
the nutrients are thin and tender and
readily broken down. Sheep are for
ayers by nature and pasture furnishes
for them not alone the ideal feed but
likewise the ideal conditions. Never
are they so cOntented nor so healthy
as when given the freedom of a five
or ten acre plot over which to play
and feed.
Science has long since taught us
that grass and oot crops must be
grown, if soil fertility is to be main

come from the soil whether it's prod

fallen asleep and remained unchanged.
