Rome unscrupulous contractor at one

dny known us the "hnrnesH cask."
The enlisted men nre divided into

Willie the admiral and al! other otlicers
except the gunner, i-.-iipeiitei', pharma
cist, chief iiiiicldiilsts and the naval
cadets receive absolutely nothing for
their subsistence oil board ship. Many

lo remark that the gov eminent pro
vides cry good living for Its ollicers,
not thinking thut the entire cost of the
repast Iiiih come out of the officers' own
pockets.
Tlie cost of an otlicer s living on one
of our vessels varies considerably. In
n port w here much entertaining has to
he done and where there are high j
priced mini, els the mess bill, as It Is j
(ailed, sometimes runs as high as $.'13
or flu a month for each olllcer and is
rarely less than .-LVi a month. This rep- I
resents merely tho actual cost of the j
food and the Incidental expenses of the i
mess, ns the government furnishes all
servants, crockery, fuel nnd table linen.
In i oulicet Ion with this subject It
may be Interesting to Hole that the cap
tain of n war vessel does not cat with
the other ollicers, but has a scparntti
establishment for himself ami Is pro

only duties are to wait on him. On

Applm For Hornea.
In nn Ohio paper we find a state
ment from a fanner who says that one
season colts died without apparent
cause until pout mortem examination
showed stomach and Intestines to be
Idled with worms, says The American
Agriculturist. In the fail a mess of
sweet apples was given to those left
alive, and the next day worms were
passed In considerable numbers, and as
the apples were continued In the feed
the colts grewlnto thrifty yearlings that
finally sold at good prices. Although
we never had occasion to try this rem
edy, we do not doubt that It Is il good
one, nor do we doubt that beets or
mangels and perhaps other roots would
have cipially good results.
j The llcHxIrtn Fly.
I A correspondent of Tho National
Stockman tells how he avoids trouble
1 from the Hessian In his wheattlelds.
I lie prepares his ground for Rowing and
then walls until be sees the fly about.
Then be drills In his wheat. As the flies
j all swarm at once and only last four
I days they have all perished before his
wheat is up, and he suffers no damage
and averages much better crops than
1 his neighbors. We do not know wheth
j er tills habit of all coming out at once
j and perishing In four dnys Is true
; every w in to or peculiar to tliem In Ohio.
W e never saw or heard It mentioned
before, but if true It should be general
ly known.
Profll In Horse Breeding.
At the meeting of tlie Texas Live
Stock association nwhile ago It was
J said that there were ;1,000.K)0 less
horses Iu the United States now than
In jsun, nnd yet there were 1,000,000
' nun.. In use, the shrinkage being most
! ly in the herds that then ran wild on
' the plains. There Is a greatly Increased
! use of hyrses In this country and a de
mand for large numbers from abroad,
and it will take six years to begin to
have a supply to equal the demand,
: even If It docs not largely Increase
: within that time. If this Is correct,
! there should be n profit In brrs-dlng
horses at almost liny time for years to
j come,
Incrcnae In Farming-.
i The Unltid States census for 1000
, shows that In the pust ten years tho
I number of farms In the United States
j has Increased from 4,.r(KI,000 to n,700,
; 000. a gain of over L'll per cent; IVJO.OOO
more farms nre worked by their own-
i ers, and there are (00,000 moro tenant
farmers. The Increase In tenant farm
ing has Iksii the largest In Uie eastern
and middle states, which we take to In
dicate that In those sections moro
I yonng men are taking up farming and
! putting the capital they have Into stock
I nnd tools Instead of Into land that they
I h ue not thecnpltnl to work properly.
