THE TRAINING OF UNITED STATES CAVALRY CADETS. FASHIONHINTS] BLACK HORSE TROOP FORDING A STREAM. Although the United States Govern ment supports but one national mili tary academy it encourages military training in a number of other schools and colleges by detailing to these insti tutions officers of the army and navy. These subsidiary military schools are of three kinds. There is, first, the state school which receives financial aid from the state government and is re garded as a part of its military estab lishment. A notable example of this class of schools is the Virginia Mili tary Institute, famous as the West Point of the Confederacy, and now en joying the distinction of having more of its graduates in the United States Army t^han any other school or college. The second class comprises the agri cultural and mechanical colleges which have received donations of land from i the government and which under the terms of these grants are required to give instruction in tactics. Private military schools may be considered as Navy blue marquise trimmed in white foulard, thickly dited with navy blue—it was a little dres hat made one marvel at its simplicitj^and style.

The illustration of a feed box is self-explanatory, and with the follow ing list of dimensions should be easy to build: The legs are made from 4x4’s 34 inches on the high side, saw ing a bevel at one end of 12 inches; the sides are 2x12 inches; thé length of the box, is 8 feet. The bottom is made by joining seven common floor boards, generally using fence flooring clear of knots as possible, The best way to lay tlje bottom is to take 16-foot fence boards, laying the two end 2x4 cross pieces 4 inches from the end. Across the center lay two other 8 inches apart, sawing the bot- tom in two to make the bottoms for two boxes. The 2x4 across the center, which is used for supporting the cen ter of the bottom, should be made of hard wood. Clamps go around this 2x4 and over the top of the box. Use a 16-inch clamp, such as commonly used for building hay racks; bore through the 2x4, place the clamp bot tom side up over the side of the box and draw it up tight. The lower edge The question of the proper amount of seed to sow is never settled. Two and one-half bushels of average oats, sown broadcast, are not too many on average land, average seasons; and about one-half bushel less when drilled in, is looked upon as about right by most oat growers. Many good farmers differ, however, on this, many thinking a peck will bring as good or better results. There are varieties of oats with a very large berry which would have to be in creased to get the same number of plants to the acre that the very small berry oats would give, Still, as a rule, a large vigorous seed will pro duce a large vigorous plant and this would need more room than a smaller one. The season and soil make con- siderable difference, too, with the amount of seed. Pasturing grain with sheep or other light stock, tends to thicken it, also to shorten the straw and to prevent lodging, though it fre quently adds to the length of time for ripening. When there is danger of oats lodging, thick seeding tends to prevent it. A New Dip for Cattle, The Oklahoma State Board of Agri culture has adopted a new dipping so lution for cattle. The crude oil meth od has been abandoned on account of its often injurious effect on steers. All cattle shipped in from Texas must be dipped in order to keep out Texas fever by killing the ticks, which carry the disease. The new dip is an arsen ical solution, much cheaper than the crude oil, just as effective and less in- jurious. It is made by boiling 10 pounds of commercial arsenic, 24 pounds of sal soda and 1 gallon of pine tar in 40 gallons of water. It is then increased to . 50 gallons by adding water, and this solution is enough for 450 gallons of water when mixed with it. The cost Is about a cent a gallon, or about 25 cents per steer in dipping. The only danger from the use of this dip is that a steer might accidentally swallow some of the solution, a quart of which would cause death, The blue laws o the Puritans weren’t in it with n< Le blue laws of >ld Virginia, though ij has always been supposed that the Cavaliers of the PYRAMID OF CADETS. southland cared mole for high living of the 2x12 used for sides should be and frivolity than lor good .behavior planed to a bevel to match the bottom fled schools varies from the two or and the art of war, while from the and order.
