PLANS COMPLETE
FOR ENCAMPMENT
AT AMERICAN LAKE JULY is
Company Is In Splendid FOrm-Thc
New Rifle Range Is Almost
Completed.

The war department has completed
plans for the military encampment at
American lake, this summer, and judg-
ing by the care with which the scheme
has been worked out, the affair should
be most successful. All the state troops
of Washington, Montana, Oregon and
Idaho will take part, together with
many of the regulars. Brigadier Cen
eral Funston will be in command, and
the encampment will continue from
July Is to October.1.
Drills of every variety will be held,
and a regular school of instruction
will be maintained Excellent training
will be afforded the state troops in par
ticular, it being thought that by ming
ling them with the regulars better re-
suits can be obtained than If the
camps Of the two branches of the serv-
ice were held separately. While the
officers in charge expect a good deal
of rivalry between the regulars and
the militia, they believe that the COM
petition will benefit both troops, and
feel that the summers work will be
OF great aid to all the military organ
izatfons that take part.
The following troops will take part
in the encampment: State troops
First infantry and one troop of cav
airy from this state; battalions Of in
faptry from Montana; one regiment
and battalion of infantry from Ore
gon. The Idaho troops have not yet
been designated.
Regulars--Third infantry, Seventh
infantry, Thirteenth infantry. Twen-

try, SECOND cavalry, headquarters and

garding the encampment, although
they are expecting them. Their pur-
port is anticipated. however, and their
arrival will find Company f ready for
anything that may be required. The
boys are as ready for the encampment
now as they will be a month later and
are prepared to hold their own with
any company in the state.
The guardsmen are putting in hard
knocks on the new 100O-yard rifle
range, for which a $500 appropriation
was recently made. They have three

times that the wind was blowing from
a dozen ways at once.

FARMER AND PLANTER
KEEPING SWEET POTATOES.
Easy to Make, but Few Can Store
Successfully.

We all can make sweet potatoes,
but only a few can store them sue
cessfully. We think we are safe in
saying that 80 per cent OF our loss
results from two things-either we
cover them up too tight before they
undergo their sweat and dry out prop
erly, or we allow leaks to wet them
during the winter rains. There are
several ways to keep potatoes success
fully, says the editor OF the South
ern Cultiyator, but they all depend
upon keeping the potatoes ventilated
or isolated and to keep them dry and
at even temperature. Any plan that
win accomplish this viii keep your
potatoes until they come In again.
/. All are familiar with the old
style of banking with straw, corn
stalks and dirt. There is no better
way. II you will only take pains to
build q good rainproof shelter over
| these banks. Nearly all the heating
and rotting Is started by the potatoes
becoming wet sometimes during the
winter.
2. We have been most successful
| by having . house with dirt floor and
banking our potatoes in this house,
leaving the top or the hills open until
about the goth of December. This
allows them plenty of time to 60
through their sweats and become per
fectly dry. Many people obtain good
results from putting ventilation uT
through the center Of the hill. This
il done by taking three or four planki
and mailing together, and boring holes
along In them and putting in the cen
ter and piling your potatoes around
it. Where the potatoes are dug whez
land is wet or damp. this Il very ben
eficial.

storing them In . house and in dr..

We have some of the best farm

THE STRAWBERRY PATCH.
The Plant Requires Mulatto Soil

Strawberries require mulatto soil
inclined to clay They require deep

salt and plaster. 1t is left to the taste
of the cultiyator whether he will have
his strawberries near his house or
near Q stream.
After the ground is thoroughly spad-

leyeled, lay OF the rows By q small
mark four feet apart; plant each hill
from eighteen to twenty inches apart
Cultivate level, and clean as you

kept clean by cultivation, as the cul'

make a mark In the middle OF the
row and spade 1t up deep, adding fresh
manures and vegetable matter. Late
in the fall or early in the spring
set out a row In the middle, and q
the end of the bearing season the ole
row may be hoed up. Every fall tn
patch should be ploughed, subsoilet
and leveled, and small quantity o
manure added. Repeat the operation
annually, as long as you wish to ca

Alfalfa and Pigs.

A ration three-fourths corn and one

than when one-half alfalfa Is leo.
Where alfalfa is raised on the farm,
and when there is no particular need
to hasten growth in the pigs, ration
one-half alfalfa hay and one-half corn
may give cheaper gains than when
a heavier corn ration is fed. Hogs
which have been raised largely on al
