The entire train

Naval Board Reluctantly Retires
Fifteen Men.
Such Shape It’s Question of
Who CanJIfe Spared.
Washington, D. C.—Fifteen naval
officers, several of them captains with
distinguished records, erxied their ac
tive careers July 1, on the recommend
ation of the dreaded “plucking board."
Secretary Daniels made public the
names of those selected for compulsory
retirement this year, with a formal
announcement that he expected to axk
for the repeal of the law of 1899 under
which the annual “plucking" is done.
In addition to the list of those who
retired, xeverai other officers had
asked for voluntary retirement and had
all the applications been accepted,
the board would have been relieved of
the necessity of "plucking."
Last year, however, the President
decided not to permit the voluntary
retirement of any officers who has not
had 20 years’ service after graduation
from the Naval Academy. The law
requires the creation of 40 vacancies
annually, with 15 compulsory retire
ments if necessary.
Included in the list of “plucked”
this year are the names of some offi
cers who have been so prominent in
naval circles as to cause great surprise
among their colleague» at their retire
ment.
Captain Gibbons has been superin
tendent of the Naval Academy and
naval attaches to the American em
bassy in London, assignments given to
officers of the highest professional
ability. Captain Hill is one of the
younger school of officers who became
prominent through his outxjxiken criti
cisms of defects in the emplacement of
armor on the older battleships, which
led to radical changes in the designs.
Some of the officers had been regard
ed as in somewhat unsatisfactory
health, though not in a condition to
warrant medical condemnation.
Secretary Daniels explained that
there was absolutely nothing on the
records of any of the officers to show
that they were not fitted for any naval
service in the matter of habit, tem-
|>erament and professional ability. He
pointed out that the “plucking” law
had some time ago resulted in the
elimination for the navy of officers
who were palpably disqualified, but
now the naval lists were in such shape
that the board was confronted with
the task of determining, not who was
unfit to be retained in the service, but
rather who could best l>e spared out of

cers.

VALUABLE HINT FOR FARMER
—
Droppings From 1,000 Fowls, If Prop
erly Cared For Will Return
Profit of $300 Yearly.'
The poultryman or farmer can ma
terially add to the profits of his busi
ness by properly caring for the drop
pings of his fowls. For example, it Is
shown that the droppings from 1.000
fowls if preserved without needless
loss are worth at least $300 per an
num, and this estimate is based on
tbe asxumptlon that l<-ss than half of
the droppings, or only 30 pounds per
hen per year, can be collected.
According to the Maine station, the
droppings should be collected dally,
and mixed with substances which will
(1) prevent loss of nitrogen, (2) add
sufficient potash and phosphoric acid
to make a better balanced fertilizer,
and (3) Improve the mechanical con
dition of the manure so that it can
be applied to the land with a manure
spreader.
This can be done as follows: To
each 30 pounds of the manure add 1C
pounds of raw-dust, good dried loam, •
or peat, 16 pounds of acid phosphate/
and 8 pounds of kainit. Such a mix
ture will contain about 1.25 per cent
of nitrogen, 4 5 per cent of phosphoric
acid, and 2 per cent of potash, which,
used at the rate of 2 tons per acre
would furnish 50 pound of nitrogen,
185 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 80
pounds of potash, and at the present i
price of fertilizing ingredients is worth I
about $10 per ton. The mixture would ,
furnish a well-balanced stable fertil- J
izer, which, although not fine enough
to work well in drills, can be success
fully applied with a manure spreader. |
The treated manure should be well,
sheltered until time to apply to th«
land—that is, shortly before plowing.
