WAR CHIEFS ARE OLDER.

= - .
The war chiefs Of this conflict are older than
those Of former days, notes the Associated
Press and goes on to give some of the reasons
Of medical men for the admitted fact.
The striking difference between the ages Of
the commanding officers in the present war as
compared with those of earlier times is attrib-
uted BY The British Medical Journal to the saw
ing of bodily wear and tear brought about by
modern inventions. The paper suggests that
Napoleon would not have broken down so soon
if he had been able to use automobile, telephone
and telegraph. #
Generals few generations ago were young
men, because they soon broke down under the
hardships of campaigning They had to live
Ia the saddle and keep the field under eye to
be able to direct the movements. Nowadays,
the general stays, in his base headquarters,
where he follows operations on map as reports
come in by telephone and telegraph, occasion
sally By motorcycle, from various parts of the
line. When he goes on tour of inspection,
he rolls along in motor car at his ease.
Contrasting the ages of the former great
generals with the leaders in the present war;
the journal says:
ssWhen Napoleon S star was eclipsed forever
as Waterloo. he was but 46 years Of age, but he
had been broken man in body, and to an in
ereasinp extent in mental power, long before
Wellington fought his last battle at 46, Ney at

Perhaps those protesting against the appear

the lower house Of the legislature on Tuesday
have clearer idea of the letter and spirit OF
the war department order regarding military
utterances than have these army officers but
il is seriously to be doubted.

Tended by what the commanding general and
the Judge advocate of the Hawaiian depart
ment said at the house hearing. They appeared
at the request of the house; they were asked
their opinion upon very important legislation
they gave it carefully and senSibly.
The fact that those behind the alleged pro
test to Washington are unwilling to have their
names made public, at once discounts that pro
test They should come out III the open.
One can differ on this question of compulsory
military education without accusing the local
army officers of violating the war department

DISK HARROW is IMPORTANT
Nothing VIII Conserve More Moisture
Than by Using It on Stubble-
Also Used a. a Cultivator.

The disk harrow may be considered
as the most important implement for
grain farming in dry climate. Moth
Ing will conserve more moisture by
using 1t on stubble after harvest and
before blowing time. 1t may be used
as a cultivator for summer fallow-
ing. On ground where small grains
are to follow such crops as beets or
potatoes the use of this implement
will often make blowing necessary.
The 16-inch disk is Of proper size
for ordinary farm work This disk
pulls somewhat heavier than the
larger sizes, but pulverizes enough bet
ter to Justify its use. The 16-inch
disk penetrates the soil deeper than
the larger one, because it has less
'bearing-up surface; it revolves faster,
thus pulverizing the soil better.
For hardness and ease of operation,
each gang Of the disk should be con-
trolled by an individual lever. All
bearings must be well protected from
dust and dirt. so constructed as to
be easily oiled. Each disk should be
provided with satisfactory foot-lever
cleaner. For thickening thin stand
Of alfalfa in the early springtime or
after cutting, the disk Is set almost
straight, in which condition it Is run

DAlRYING AND DRY FARMING
Cow 10 One Of Most Economic AMI
mails for Transforming Field
Crops into Human Food.

Dairying should have place in dry
land farming, because the dairy COW
is one OF. the most economic animals
for Transforming field crops into hui
man foods. The ultimate object of all
live stock and farm labor is to pro-
duce food for the masses of humanity
from the field crops. The different
farm animals will produce from 100
pounds of dry matter in the form Of
field crops about the following:
The sheep from 100 pounds of dry
matter will recover about 2.5 pounds
of edible dry matter for human food
The steer from 100 pounds of dry
matter will recover about 81 pounds
Of edible dry matter for human food
The hog from 100 pounds of dry
matter will recover about 16 pounds
of edible dry matter for human food.
The dairy COW from 100 pounds of
dry matter will recover about 10
pounds of edible dry matter for HUI
man food
This table, deducted from the best
experimental data, shows that the
dairy COW RECEIVERS in her produce the
largest per cent of the dry matter in
field crops for human food, and the
hog ranks second

SAVE WILLIAM PENN'S CHAIRS
National Heiriooms, About to Fall
Apart, Have Been Repaired
by Blind Women.

Two quaint and graceful chairs that
once belonged to William Penn have
just been repaired by two women who
have never seen the chairs, says the
Philadelphia Ledger The two women
are inmates OF the Pennsylvania In
dustrial Home for Blind Women. Tho
chairs are preserved In the east room
Of Independence hall, on the second
floor. Year by year the cane bottoms
OF the famous old relics have been
gradually cracking and falling out
The committee in charge decided that
unless the cane was replaced the
woodwork might soon collapse. But
they did not dare to let the chairs
be taken out of Congress hall.
So they sent for Miss Ira Frost, mis-
tress of handicraft at the Industrial
Home for Blind Women, and she
brought with her to the room two of
the blind women who understood chair
repairing. The work was peculiarly
difficult, for 1t was impossible to erect
In Congress hall the Gaming table need

and, moreover, their woodwork was

fingers" of the bling women did the
work in spite of all the difficulties, and

are safe

PRINCIPAL DRY FARM CROP
In Case Corn Falls to Mature II Can
Be Cut Up and Put in Silo for
Use Of Dairy Herd.

Corn is one of the principal crops
of the dry farmer. and If for some
reason there is a failure of crop ma
turity. the stalk can be cut up and
used for silage and thereby provide an
abundance of the very best of feed for
the dairy herd.
The silo is one of the best possible
conservers Of feed. By the use of
silage, every bit of the corn can be
utilized. About 40 per cent of the
nutrients in corn are In the stalk, and
without the silo most OF this goes to
waste.
The silo also enables the dry farmer
to do winter dairying most success
fully. The dairy COW needs a succu-
lent feed during the winter months.
Silage can also be stored and fed dur.
