UNCLE SANS "MIDDIES."
Training and Discipline That Prepare
Them For the Navy.

The pay Of a midshipman is 5000 PEI
year, and this begins on the day Of
his admission TO the academy. He al
once spends S22O.G4 for clothing. bed
ding and other equipments. some ol
which are as follows: A rug for IC
cents, a hair pillow for 10 cents. six
pillowcases for - cents and six
sheets for S42O. So it can be seen that
his apartments will not be luxurious.
He must deposit $50 when he enters,
and this Will be credited on the books
Of the pay officer to be expended by
the direction OF the superintendent in
the purchase of textbooks. etc.
When he has been fully entered as a
midshipman it is the aim of the officers
in charge to educate the young man TO
become a competent naval Oficer-to
become a master of the art of maritime
warfare. to be a gentleman as well as
an officer and to hold honor and duty
to country paramount to everything
else. The neatness in dress of the Off

RELEASE OF QUARAN-
TINE FOR SCABIES

Secretary Wilson has issued an order
to take effect August Is, releasing from
quarantine on account of the disease
known as scabbies in cattle 81, ,764 square
miles of territory in South Dakota, Ne
braska, Kansas and Texas. This action
is taken as a result of the good progress
that has been made by the Bureau of
Animal Industry and State authorities
in the work of eradicating this disease.
About 10 years ago when the work
was first undertaken scabies or mango
of cattle was prevalent in the territory
west of the Missippi River, and that en-
tire area was quarantined. Portions Of
the territory have been released from
time to time as they were freed from
the disease, until now there remains in
quarantine only a comparatively small
area, consisting of about One-third of
Montana lin the northeastern portion).
the eastern fourth of Wyoming, small
areas in South Dakota and Nebraska.
the eastern third of Colorado, the east
ern third of New Mexico, the Panhandle
of Oklahoma, portion of the Panhandle
Of Texas, and a small area in the ex-
treme southern part of Texas. The in
fection in this remaining territory is very
light, and the Department believes that
it will be only a matter of a short time
when this disease will be totally elimi-
mated from the country.
The area released in each State by the
recent order is as follows: South Da-
lOta, 27,601 square miles, Nebraska,
i $3.50 square miles; Kansas, 5000 SO.

CROP CONDITIONS In THE U. S.
AND GREAT BRITAIN.

Secretary James Wilson, of theDepart-
= ment Of Agriculture, in speaking to day
of the crop conditions of the United
States and Great Britain, says; In the
United States, notwithstanding a hard
, winter, which killed out about 20 per
cent of the winter wheat area and a
late and unfavorable spring, which
/ hampered the early planting and cult
walton of crops the past few months
have been so favorable as to overcome
the early handicap to crops. Prospects
now are that supplies will be normal,
or somewhat better than the average
of recent years. Some crops. as oats
and barley, will exceed any previous
years yield, and even wheat, which
early in season indicated a yield of only
about 625, 600, 600, now promises ESQ.,
600, 600 bushels or more which has only
been exceeded four times and may be
regarded as very fair crop. The corn
crop, the most important Of all crops,
| is not yet out of danger, but expecta-
/ tiOns now are that more than two
! billion eight hundred million bushels
will be raised which is close to a re-
cord crop. The hay crop also is abun-
dant. With a large supply of feed be-
ing harvested, it is natural that farmers
should hold their young and immature
stock, to consume it, causing a tenn
porary shortage of beef on the market,
but insuring a larger supply in the
future.
The crop conditions in Great Britain
according to the report of the British
Board of Agriculture as to August first
are unsatisfactory owing to the wet and
stormy weather last month over the
Greater part of England and Wales.
Harvest had, at the date of the report, !
begun in the southern part of the
country and warmer weather and sun
shine were much desired, The pros
pect for wheat was about two per cent
below average, but barley promised to
be the best of all cereals. Oats is a
very poor crop and the yield is esti-
mated to be nearly 10 per cent short Of
an average in England and Wales.
Beans have not done well during July
and the prospects for this crop are
lowered. Peas have suffered to an
even greater extent. The excessive
wet weather has been detrimental to
potatoes and disease is prevalent sun
shine alone will save the crop from 3
further injury.
The weather on the other hand has
proved beneficial to the root crops,
LufnlpS ana manEolQ ana ylel0S were q
above the average. Except
in the southeastern countries the hay Z
harvest has been much interfered with
by wet weather. Some early crops of .
rotation hay had been well secured but y
he bulk of this crop and also the mea- r.
low hay have been damaged by rains. /
At the date of the report a good deal =
# the hay was dying ungathered in the a
ields. The hop crop has suffered more 9
