It is the same to-day as it was in the days of Grant and Lee. : Take a day at the academy and compare its duticg with those of any other ipetitution, no wat ter of what country. and it will be seen that in comparison o the cadets’ labor the work of students at other schools {8 but play. During certain months of the year there is little play at West Point. Drill in the open air gives the requisite exercise to keep the physique right, and for rec reation apparently there {s no need The routine has changed a little with the pass ing years, but in a general way the day's pro gram at the academy is Hke this: Revellle at 6 o'elock: roil call at 6:20; breakfast at 6:25; guard meunt at 7:15: reeitations and study hours from S until 1: dinner, 1 until 1:40; recitations and study from 2 until 4; drild from-4 until 5:20; parade at 5:30: sUpper at 6; study from 7 untll %:30: tattoo, then taps and ﬁlv'l‘p e : : There are no recitations at the United States military academy on Saturday afternoons, and the cadets are given what (s called ‘release from quarters” with permission to visft one another in barracks or to ream about the reservation, taking good care, under pain of diswmissal, to keep from going off lUniits. : . Release from quafers never comes for some cadets. The breaking of some small rule means confinenient to quarters or the walking of extra guard tours. The boy who unwittingly puts on & pair of white trousers having an iron rust stain on them, and wears them at drill or at dress parade, will know no release from quarters for days. - Shofild a speck of rust be found on his rifle at Sunday morning inspection, he will shoulder that rifle and walk two or more hours up and down the area of barracks as a “sentinel without charge,” while his more fortunate comrades are experiencing the ecstasy which comes from permission to ramble about the parade ground and to view the hotel and other delights of civilization from a distance. = i : Upon occasion the cadets are given permission to call upon friends at the little hotel on the reservation. If, however, a boy cemmits the enormous offense of leaving the main parlor of the hote! to visit his father or mother in another room, and the act should be discovered, he will never see the inside of that hotel again until many weeks have rolled by and he has expiated his crine by many extra tonrs of guard duty in the booiling sun or zero weather or a Highlands’ winter,. = i

Straightening Bent Trolley Poles

During the earthquake and fire at Ban Francisco, the iron trolley poles in the city were badly beu:. How to repair this damage proved quite a serious problem. It was considered im- . practicable to take out the poles, straighten them, and ~ then replace = them, and the other alternative of tearing them up and putting in new poles involved tao much expense. The problem was finally solved by straightening the peles without removing

In an elder day at the académy, and it may be 80 today. the mail bag into which the cadets dropped thelr letters was hang with wide distengd. ed mouth just inside the door of the guardhouse, Untll the first call for breakfast the gusrdhouse WARH "off lmits " The instant the drums rolied the cagdetn couid enter the buliding and drop their letters. One moruing & cadet stood without the door, holding his letter in his hands The drummer's sticks were polsed tremblingly, walting to fall for the pounding out of the first exll for breakinst @ P : The cadet saw the poised sticks, entered the guardhouse and dropped hias letier just as the first note of the call sounded. He had passed through the doorway just oheslhiiventh of &8 seeond too soon. An officer saw b mail his let ter and a report of “off limits” went in which caused the unfortunate letter mailer 1o perform extra guard duty for 16 long hours-—-not consec utive hours, however : On the first hook con the wall of his alcove the cadet must hang one specific article of clothing: on the recond hook anciher articie, and s on. I, perchance, the youth hangs his dresscost on the nall sacred to the overcoat, he can bid fare well to release {rom quarters for two Saturdays at least and i, perchance the shell ineket hangs on the hook given over to trousers, he miay add three more days of continement to those which have acerued from the erimie of the tfsplaced overcoat. : . e The mwthodical cadet runs a yardstick along the toes of the extra shoes which under regulation, must be pliced in regular order beneath the foot of his bed. llf the toe of one shoe protrudes half an inch beyond the toe of its mate, the cadet gets one demerit mark. If more than one palr of shoes shows symptoms of irregularity In the matter of toeing the scratch, the cadet will receive a sufficient number of demerit marks to enable him to realize thoroughly the beauties of a right line as applied to something besides’ geometry. o o It is “a beastly grind,” as the English clergyman said, but it is a grind that has its uses, and the proof of it is written in all the records of the service. o J ~ Hazing is in a sense an hereditary habit. The army officers who have been asked in the years that are past, and who are being asked to-day to root out the practice of “deviling” the plebe at West Point, did not, and have not all of them their hearts in the work, for were they not hazed themselves, and were they not in turn hazers? Nine out of ten of the hazed will tell you to-day that they profited by the experience. : . When Gen. Ulysses Stmpson Grant entered plebe camp, a first classman who noticed the boy’'s strong build intimated to him that it would be a pleasure to have him call immediately at the senfor's tent. Grant went. There is a rule at West Point, which was a rule in Grant's day as

them from thelr positions. The method of doing this, as described in a recent issue of the Electrical Railway Journal, is ‘quite interesting. The apparatus used consisted of a ten-foot section of railway rail and two U bolts, with wooden fulcrum hjock. The rail was fastened {o the upper end of the pole on the convex side of the bend by means of ghe U bolts, the legs of which passed through the flanges of the rail. Just below this

the fulcrum block was placed, and then the lower end of the rail was forced inward against the pole by turning the nuts on the second U bolt. The cost of straightening the poles averaged about $3.50 each, whereas if new poles had been used to replace the bent ones, the cost would have been $4O each. ' Soul's Emphasis Right.

John M. Schofeld was an artillery oficer. The army has it that Schofield had n distaste for the infantry branch because of &n experience which he underwent during his first week as & piebe at the military academy : . - Bome vearlings chased Schofield up a ladder from the cock loft of burracks to the roof The fulure hero of Franklin was clad oniy in a night shirt When the rof was reached the cadets gave Schofield & rifle. marked out & sentinel’s bent on the tin roof and started the future artlleryman on his walk back and forth with the iunsketl on his shoul der. They Kept Bim &t it with few Intesmissions, from laps to reveille. - ' : Edgar Allan Poes was a cader at West Point only for a short time Arary tradition Bolds nothing concerning the hazing of Poe. The academy, however, s the cuntodian of one of Poo's first poems, which is nothing short of a striking example of the boy's wit While Poe was at the academy Liegt Joseph Lock was stationed there as a tactieal offceér. Lock was the strictest kind of & disciplinarian, and he was constanty reporting Poe for offenses, reports which brought as their natural cOnßeQuente some heavy punishments. Poe had his revenge in a poem which the curious may fnd fn a voiume called "Tie Taes,” which was published Years ago by the cadets: : : ; Jobn locke was a great name, Joe Lock is a greater. In short, ~ The former is well known to lame, The latter well known to repore . There is, or was, one form of hazizg at West Point which has in it the essence of <ryelty. This consists in making a plebe read with appropriate gestures and the proper inflections, all the nice things which the newspapers of his home town printed about 'hlu% when the announcement of his {appointment to a tadetship was made. Imagine, if you will, the feelings of a green youngster, as he stands upon a barrel, reading to an assemblage of possibly 50 yearlings, the editorial statement of the local papers, that Henry Smith “doubtless will be -made a corporal as soon as the eyes of the superintendent of the military academy fall upon his tall and mauly figure. Henry has in him the making of a great soldier. We shall hear of his deeds on the field of battle as a leader of his country’s hosts in case dread war shall come.” i

It is really not such a terrible task to feed . & dozen calves, but It {s quite a nuls ance to go through the motion just ‘or one or two. Perhaps a great many fatrymen who object 1o raising ealves for thelr own herds would change thelr minds If they should practice it in a wholsesale way, : | Any old method is a poor way to handle the caif. The most successfyl falrymen allow the animal to suck the row for the first two or three darys, then feed the whole milk until about two weeks old, then gradually skim the milk. If the calf iz healthy and worth ratsing at all, ft will do weil n skim mitk alone, at this age. At two or three weeks old, place a little whale corn and oats hefore it which t will sooon learn to eat, also hay and silage. Keep the calf In thrifty con dition, for once run down it Is hard to get back to normal condition again. and during that time it has lots of good growth, ‘ . Do pot let the soll form & crust | It s at such times that the evaporation of the molsture I 8 very rapid. Run the cultivator through the corn to prevent this condition, and the oftener it is cultivated the better the crop will 'do. Such cultivation puts a finé dust mulch upon the surface which effectually prevents evapora. ton except at a very slow rate. Any- | one that has examined a wetlcumv'at-] ‘ed field has been struck by the dryness of the surface, and only a fewi inches below it was almost wat éenougb to make mud balls Aftcri every rain it is necessary to break up | the crust that forms. In this way 'molsture enough may be accumulated to tide over the period when it is needed most. A little shower often “does_considerable damage by destroying the dust mulch, and it should be restored as soon as possible. ~ As a pasture for sows and young pigs, alfalfa proves a wonderfully helpful ration for milk-making in the sow and for growth in pigs. Experiments have shown that pigs make better growth when the dam is fed considerable alfalfa than those from sows fed the best of commercial rations, but with no alfalfa. Of two sets of pigs, one fed clover, rape and soaked corn, and the other with access to alfalfa in lleu of clover and rape, those baving alfalfa seemed to grow the more rapidly. For brood sows, it is a most valuable food, either as hay, a solling crop, or as pasture. The litters of such sows are generally large and vigorous and the dams have | a strong flow of nutritious milk. Al falfa meal in slop may be used with profit where the Lay is not to be obtained. It 1s also claimed that sows ! fed on alfalfa during pregnancy wiil not devour their young, its mineral | elements seeming to satisfy the appetite of the sow, while contributing to the feta! development of the piga. |

Whole milk g too expensive to ralse calves on.. Calves thrive much better on the warm skimmed milk from the hand separator than on the skimmed milk brought home from the creamery, where the milk of several hundred cowg is probably mixed, or the miik set in pans and crocks or deep cans, which, when the cream fs taken off, is always cold and usually half sour i think skimmed milk may be f{ed to calves with more profit than. to any other thing about the farm, unless it be the poultry. = S - A cow will make use of between three and four tons of silage a year. With ten cows and other stock to use as much ensilage as the cows, one could use 60 to 80 tons per year. Where enough stock is kept to use to advahtage 8¢ or more tons of ensilage per year one may be justified in investing in a silo and the necessary ‘machinery to fill it The larger and | better the herd and the belter the dairyman the more profitable ensilage becomes. One is never justified in the use of expensive feed like ensilage unless he gets to be a careful herds- | man, furnishes his animals comfort. | able quarters, good, regular care and | protection from storms and winds. i

Milking under quiet, favorable conditions is quite important for the following reasons .plainly set forth by John Burroughs, the eminent naturalist, in speaking of the supposed power of cows to "hold-up” their milk Says Mr. Burroughs: “Most farmers and country people think that the giving down’ or ‘holding up’ the milk by the cow is a voluntary act. In fact, they fancy that the udder is a vessel filled with milk, and that the cow releases or withholds it just as she chooses. But the udder {s a manufactory; it is filled with blood from wkich the milk is manufactured while you milk. This process is controlled by the cow’s nervous system; when she is exciced or in any way disturbed, as by a stranger, or by taking away her calf, or any other cause, the process is arrested an<d the milk will not flow. The nervons energy goes elsewhere. The whoie process s as involuntary as is digestion in man, and is disturbed or arrested in about the same way.” It is well for those who are inclined to use the milk stool on a cow when she refuses to “let the milk down" te remember Mr. Burroughs’ statements, which are without questinp sarrect.

The ik earliest clepsydra | : was & crystal vial: . Modern Clocks. with a very Sfll&”; hole at the bottom. - This bottle was filled with water, and by the period | required for the liquid to escape, time | was computed. The -hour glass, a%‘ variation on this jdes, was also in use. It consisted of two glass bemtspheres.z connected by a narrow tube: One of | the hemispheres was filled with sand. The tube was of such a size that exactly one hour was required for the pouring of the sand-from one compartment to the other. i R B The clepsydra, however, was the an- | cestor of the modern clock, for in time it was developed into an appaatus fitted up with a dial and with an indicator that was moved from point to point by the varying pressure | of the water. Archimedes, it is said, was the man to whom it first occurred to substitute weights for water. An! improvement was later made on this contrivance by placing balls of metal |. in such a position on the clepsydra

Some other power: he decided, must therefore take ‘the place of these cumberous iumps of metal. At last he hit on the idea. He coiled a long ribbon of steel about & central spindle. The unrolling of this powerful coil, he found after many disappointing experiments, would supply the motive power needful to the clock’s mechanism. From this discovery arose the theory of mainspring, hairspring and countless othér triumphs of latter-day machinery.’ . Helle's firet watch was a cylindrical metal box gorgeously ornamented and with one side hinged. Inside this primitive case were the dial, spring and wheels, the dial face being visible through the fretwork on the surface of the hinged side of the box. ‘ A ridiculously awkward contrivance, and one that would wake the laughter of any twentieth-century school boy. Germany has erected a statue to Heile. But a far more lasting monument to the old Nuremberger's genius is carried In every man's watch pocket. . : '~ (Copyrighted.)
