JOYS OF CAMP LIFE.
An Explanation of Its Vaccinations for
City-Bred Youngsters.

Ctty-Breu Youngsters.
To youthful ears there is charm in
the very word camp" The adult i'm
agination at once conjures up picture
of number of joyous youngsters having
a really good time of it in some breezy
field or open common close to the cliffs;
but to boyish instincts camp life and all
it's necessary accompaniments appeal lr-
resistibly. Youths whose fathers or un-
cles have been soldiers think only or
chiefly of war, and are always expecting
an enemy to appear behind the hedge,
and are vastly disappointed, probably,
if this hope is not fulfilled. To them a
camp is a serious business, and they
feel to have already arrived at mans
estate, and to be taking part in the de-
fense of their country, when the bugle
call sounds and drill is being gone
through and the sentries are placed at
their posts There are other youngsters
who no doubt have saturated themselves
in literature in which red skins and
campfres, warpath and scalping form
prominent and attractive features. For
them it must be the climax of earthly
enjoyment to be able to ''go into camp"
IL
that wild troop of Apachcs or Sioux
are about to make a ''hair-lifting" raid
upon them. Or the youth may dream
of Isandula and Burke's Drift, and per-
form prodigies of patriotic valor-in
fancy-against the lurking Zulu foe. 1t
need hardly be said that the wild Ian
guage of boyhood must, in such circum-
stances, be kept under slight restraint,
or we should have doleful stories coming
from these seaside camps of inoffensive
wayfarers being surprised by an 'am-
bush" of London "braves" or ''scouts," ="
and of local farmers being tied to oak
trees in their own fields preparatory to
torture in the regulation red-skin fash
ion. There will be restraint enough to
keep the boys within the proper disci-
plinary limits, while not SO much as to
| interfere with their pleasure, or to sug-
gest prison or school. The best boys
will, of course, welcome the discipline
| and feel that they enjoy the rambles on
| the cliffs and sands, the excursions out
| to sea, the fishing from the rocks, and
all the other amusements which will
doubtless be prepared for them, because
of the sense of somebody supervising
| the arrangement with kindness and care,
and yet with tirmness and claim of
| instant obedience to the work OF COM
mand. For what would be the use Of
going into camp and playing at soldiers
| il soldiery discipline were not enforced?
The benefits which result are not merely
in the physical health gained. but in
the habits OF attention and obedience
learned, and in the happy memories
stored up for later years. A boy who
has had camp holiday is little likely
to forget it; and he links with the pleas
ant thought the kind people who have
put such unspeakable enjoyment within
his reach. London Telegraph. -

DAIRY MANAGEMENT.
Plan as Did This Man and fou'H Be
Pretty Sure of Success.

Plan as Did This Man and You'll BE
Pretty Sure of Success.
Mismanagement in dairy farming and
unproductive acres are the causes OF
most of the widespread depression
among dairymen. The annual waste OF
fodder on large majority OF farms
often equals the amount utilized. Many
farmers need to ask questions OF them
selves. Supposing the man says to him
self, 81 have so acres of land and have
never been able to keep more than 10
cows. These cows average $50 per head,
making total receipt of $3.50 The
wages and board of man for eight
months cost me $50, leaving but S3oo
to pay taxes, clothe my family, etc.
My wife and | work more hours and for
less pay than any miner who ever struck
for higher wages. l know farmers who
keep double the number of cows on the
same number of acres and have heard OF
some who keep 40 on so acres. Ii
could keep 25 it would bring in S4OO
more than | now get. That would re-
quire but one more milker. If should
get NV wife the needed hired girl, she
could supply this place" The man be-
gins to take courage, and says, NOW
the main question is, how can l raise
fodder for 10 more cows? The fodder Is
what want, because the skim-milk from
25cows will make enough pork to buy the
bran or oil meal Iought to have. have
read that fodder corn will produce 10, 20
and sometimes 40 tons per acre.
don't believe this, but perhaps | can
raise IL tons. Many dairymen say COW
will eat 80 pounds of green fodder or
ensilage daily. This would make one
acre of corn, if it yielded only nine tons,
winter two cows i will get sack of
seed corn and plant 40 acres with 1t.
Mark the subsequent history OF this
man If he is resolute. He plants the 10
acres and in anticipation OF the possible
success of his new departure raises 10
heifer calves. The corn does we'll, and
by January he finds he can sell 5000
worth of hay and still have plenty OF
fodder With this money he buys five
cows, so he is milking 20 cows the first
wear after his conversion to improved
methods of farming. The second year
his 10 heifers are in milk and he is milk
ing 30 head, plants 30 acres of corn,
plows up 10 acres of old pasture, sowing
| it to winter rye, clover and millet for
feeding when the pasture is short. This
keeps up the flow of milk so that his
COWS average S45 each, raising the total
receipts of his farm to 81 $50. This is
the story of hundreds of dairymen in
this State. One thing the timid farmer
should not forget: The skim-milk or
whey from Is cows will raise calves or
pork enough to buy the bran and oil
meal for these cows. The increased
number of cows, however many, will do
the same thing, cultivating and enrich"
ing the lazy acres. The use of fodder
crops is the keynote to successful farm
ing.-Hiram Smith, before the Wiscon.
