Military Training in Schools.
/, From Lippencott's Magazine


Military training for boys in our
pub ic schools should interest not only
our foremost educators but all who
hav,, the welfare of the republic at
heart The standing army of the
United States is so vastly dispropor-
tionate to it's size, its population, and
inheritance as world power that the
nations chief reliance in time OF war
must ever be it's volunteer soldlery.
That the school boy of today Is the
volunteer of tomorrow was amply
demonstrated during the war with
Spain. when splendid service was rem
dered both as officers and in the ranks,
bv men who had received knowledge
of soldering at some of the many edu-
cational institutions, public and prl-
yate. which include military training
in their curriculum
In these days military operations are
conducted with such CELEBRITY that there
is scare time to whip an army OF raw
recruits into shape to Withstand the
trained and seasoned troops OF say, an
old world power How much better
fitted to uphold the honor of the nag Is
the man who has had at least par
tial military training than ne VINO
comes fresh from the farm or from
civil life without such knowledge
however enthusiastic, however patr1-
otto. he may be. And that this tram
I'M, should be begun when the NINA IS
in it's most receptive stage, as II is IN
youth seems incontrovertible.

good substitute. The nurse crop may
be seeded at the rate OF three pecks
per acre with an ordinary grain drill
This will be sufficient but not so thick
that it will smother out the young
plants. Sow from s to 10 pounds of
clover seed broadcast per acre and
harrow thoroughly to cover all the
seeds. In some parts of the state
it would be well perhaps to seed 12
to II pounds per acre SO as to insure
a good stand.
"A top dressing of from 10 to 10
tons of manure per acre will be found
very beneficial, of course, especially
where the rainfall is sufficiently heavy
to cause disintegration of the manure.
In semi Laird regions it would probably
be better to plow the manure under in
the fall thus giving it time to decay
thru the winter months. The top
dressing should be applied with a
manure spreader as it distributes the
manure more evenly and regularly
than it could possibly be done by
hand.
The nurse crop should be cleared
as soon as possible to give the young
clover chance to make vigorous
growth before the following winter
sets in, taking care to leave the stub
BILE at least ~ inches high to catch
the snow, thus protecting and pre-
serving the plants against the extreme
cold which is common in this section
OF the country"

clouer and Soil Fertility.

In an able paper by l.. Mont gomery
| of ,'ogsweu. y. D., before the Fargo
| Agrict!tural college. the statement was
made that while wheat aRd other
grains including timothy distracted
from the soil what it would tal<e from
five TO eight tons of harnyars manure
to replace. clover took an equivalent
of twelve tons. This startling state
mont would seem to be against clover
as a soil reStorer. but Mr.. Montgomery
went on to say that clover being ahie
to extract nitrogen from the air ana
put it into the soil will leave at
least one third more fertility IN
the soil than crop OF 1t takes
out, not to mention the fact that 1t
also leaves huinus in the soil. which
is not possible in the case of wheat
crop The speaker said, moreover:
IF nitrogen is to be put back into
the soil in the shape of commercial
fertilizers 1t would require an outlay
Of fourteen and one-half cents per
pound of nitrates. The average COM
position of farmyard manure is as
follows 40 per cent nitrogen. 43 per
cent potash, 80 per cent phosphoric
acid. Nitrate of soda contains fifteen
and seven-tenths nitrogen. no potash,
and no phosphorc acid AT 1412 cents
per pound a ton would cost 500. with
additional cost of shipping it from the
east Thus it will be seen that the
cheapest way of putting nitrogen into
the soil is by growing clover or other
legumes. The potash and phosphoric
acid can be put into the soil by the APP
plication of farmyard manure thereby
saving the expense which would
otherwise be incurred by the use Of
commercial fertilizers. The plan is,
of course. to feed the clover TO live
stock and return the manure to the
soil"
In closing the speaker said: 1T
would be we'll perhaps while treating
the subject to outline plan for the
seeding and growing of this plant.
The land should be plowed from to
6 inches deep in the fall as early as
possible so as to give the weeds a
chance to start and be cut down later
by the frost. Fall blowing also re-
tains the moisture much better than
spring blowing. In the spring disc and
harrow the land thoroughly the OBJ

Special Purpose Hogs.

Do not delude yourself with the no.
ton that poor scrawny lard hog is
a bacon hog. for 1t is far from it,
Under present conditions such hogs
are used for bacon, and that is the
very reason why American bacon Is
not popular in the marts of the world
An underfed lard hog cuts up into
SOW belly but not bacon. In the true
bacon hog, the meat is firm and even
from where the loin lets up, down to
the lower extremes of the plate, and
the sides are deep and flat. There is
as much difference between a good
piece of we'll fed bacon and the bacon
we get from the corn belt scrub, as
there is between beef and mutton.
Some are SO situated that they can
feed for bacon to greater advantage
than they can raise and finish the
fiat backs" Such men are not work

they try to do it without a hog specf-

Fall Pigs.

Fall Pigs.
Many first class hog ralsers, partic-

fer not to grow fall pigs at all, claim
ing that coming so late, In addition 10
the heavy drain on sows that nave III
ready brought up one good litter thes
cost more than they are worth on ac-
count of so much grain and 50 httle
grass feeding.
While hog growing lasts. good hoS
men will differ upon this point. For
est Henry, the well known hog ana
corn farmer and lecturer of Minnesota,
always advises one good litter only,
and that early in the season. so they
can be pulled thru largely on pas
ture and cheap green foods theodore
Lewis for wears looked to as the safest
adviser on hog matters In America.
also shared these views, largely for
the same reasons. In addition, both of
these high authorities claimed that
two filters to the season tended to
debilitate, or to reduce the general
vitality so that such herds were much
more likely to go down with hog
cholera and kindred diseases. Mr..
Lewis was particularly emphatic upon
this point and his hogs as well as
the offspring of hogs bred and grown
by him, certainly justified this con-
clusion.
Others, tho not so prominent but
perhaps equally successful growers,
contend that they cannot make 1t prof
liable to keep a SOW whole year for
but one litter of pigs.
Handled carefully, the fall pigs them
selves can be made profitable animals.
Too many are allowed to become
stunted by neglecting to keep them
fully nourished. In the first place it
must be remembered that a SOW that
has given good start to one large
litter is not in condition to do quite
so we'll to a second, and that to do at
all as well by them she must have a
little more attention in the feed line
than she had with the first. The pas
lures. too, are generally little
tougher and more mature than earlier
in the season, altho this trouble
can be avoided by having clover. rape
or early winter rye ready for them.

SOW with second litter drawing on
her is pretty apt % show it, and so
are the pigs. If the last filters come
about the middle of September. they
should be ready to wean two months
or so later. During this time, sepa-
rator milk and cracked rye. or mid
dlings will furnish a very good drink

water only. with good results while

milk, however. are the prime factors
at this time. Corn in some form, II
one has ii. should come into their feed
as the weather grows colder and the
mother is taken away, and milk should
accompany it for a time at least.
Such pigs kept thriving will make
considerable use of early spring pas

with some profit to their owner.
