SAN DIEGO. Cal, April s.
Uncle Sam maintains a cooking
school as a part of every army
brigade. The cooks take three
months course and eat every
thing that they prepare. II they
survive they are graduated.
The cook wagon" is used
while the soldiers are on the
march. 1t cooks for 400 men.
The stove Is in the bow, while
a battery of "fireless cookers" is
at the stern, in which
beans and stews can be kept hot,
without fire, for "a hours.
The "dobe" oven is an auxiliary
to the regular cooking outfit and
also an object lesson for stew stu
dents who may have to cook at
the front some time, away from
all the modern conveniences. A
fire is built and then put out,
when the oven is thoroughly heat
ted. Bread or beans will bake
nicely if the door is tightly clos
ed.
The bread battery is composed
of three great ovens in which
bread for the brigade is baked.
The head baker is boss of the
stew students. Incidentally. he
instructs them in baking while
supplying the brigade with bread.
No city bakeshop sells better
bread than the soldiers get.

[From bulletin, department OF agricul-
ture, Canada.1
to adverse climatic peculiarities, ac-
cording to bulletin issued by the
Canadian department of agriculture.
The reasons for growing or making
an attempt to grow this forage crop
wherever live stock are kept in any
numbers are numerous and cOgent. A
few of them follow:
AS plant capable of yielding a large
amount of valuable forage under a
great variety of soil and climatic con-
ditions corn is without an equal.
When properly preserved, whether
as ensilage or dried, it can be used as
material to render other less palatable
roughage more acceptable to farm an
finals.
When properly grown and well pre-
served as ensilage it is the equal Of or
superior to roots in feeding value and
palatability. 1t can, however, gener-
ally speaking, be more cheaply grown
and more easily preserved than roots.
The labor of growing an acre Of corn
is Of a character much more agreeable
to perform and much less arduous than
that Of growing an acre Of roots of any
description.
Corn, being cultivated or hoed crop,
serves well to clean the land-that is,
free 1t from weeds, so fitting it for
grain growing and putting it into
shape to seed down to grass or hay.
Corn is a gross feeder and may be
depended upon to make good use Of
never SO abundant supply of plant
food. 1t is for this reason particularly
well adapted to occupy that place in
the rotation where humifying vegeta-
BILE matter and fairly liberal supply
Of barnyard manure unite to supply
large quantities of plant food suitable
for root, leaf and stem growth rather
than for seed production.
The growing of corn on fair pro-
portion Of the arabic land on the farm
will permit of keeping more cattle and
so increase the revenue as well as aug
ment the manure supply so essential
to the maintenance of soil fertility.
Corn when preserved as ensilage can
be stored much more cheaply in much
less space than any other roughage.
In addition, stored in this way it will
keep indefinitely and is always ready
TO feed.

same labor to keep 1000 hens at food
cost Of 81 900 and produce 10000 dozens
Of eggs. If the eggs sell at an average
price of 30 cents dozen we would re-
ceive in the first instance $1,65O, or
$1,150 profit. and in the second in
stance $4,000, or $1,000 profit.
There would be the increased invest
ment Of 500 hens and additional house
room. amounting to about $500. But
this would be fixed capital, and the
interest and depreciation would not
amount to more than 10 per cent, or
$50. So by keeping 1000 instead OF
500 we would really gain $500 above
all expenses.
This of course is a loose estimate.
for with good care 1000 hens quarter
ed on four or five acres will lay more
than 10000 dozens Of eggs in year
that is, if we have the right kind OF
hens. Poor hens will not pay profit
anyway, so there is no use figuring on
them. That is a mistake many make.
They think one hen is as good as an
other Of the same breed.
The breed has little to do with the
laying of individual hens. As a race
some fowls are more prolific than 9TH
ers. A simple diet and hard work
mean lot Of eggs.

Poultry Pointers.

Sell the young cockereis that ara not
needed for breeding stock and save
the food that they will consume.
Do not expect the hens that have
been faithful layers during the sum-
mer to keep this up all winter. You
may be disappointed you do.
Fresh. pure drinking water frequent
ly changed is indispensable to poultry
health and comfort The fowls do not
enjoy stale drinking water any better
than humans do.
Glover makes a splendid winter pas
ture for all kinds of fowls. Plant
crimson clover in the orchard and let
the fowls have access to it. 1t will
build up the orchard soil and furnish
nutritious feed for the fowls.
For an autumn and winter feed for
poultry cabbage is we'll liked. This Is
hung up so the fowls can just reach
it. Large sugar beets are also good.
These are chopped up fine or cut open
or sometimes crushed. Common field
turnips are also good.
If it is desired to fatten turkeys for
market begin to increase the rations
gradually. Never attempt to fatten
birds which in successive weighings
show a loss Of weight. Overlooking
does not cause blackhead, but 1t does
frequently cause the sudden death of
birds in which blackhead is present

Grand prairie and lesser contiguous
prairies of Arkansas today are the WIS.,
ible evidences of a new prosperity
more marvellous and more substantial
than any one who knew conditions
there six years ago could have dream
ed of as being possible. This has been
achieved neither by miracle nor mere
chance. 1t has been brought about by
the intelligent use and employment OF
the ordinary means at hand. No one
ton of so called natural advantages
Arkansas was accorded more than her
share. Many have voiced the belief
that in the general allotment Arkansas
was forgotten. In the light of recent
developments in that state, as else
where. it may not be too early to pre-
dict that the time is coming when men
will realize that in their estimate of
physical or natural assets they have
often made their inventories on false
hypothesis.

grown without an abundant water

It is a sin and a crime to
monopolize any Of the neces-
stiles of life and then cruelty
manipulate and ra:ze the cost
of living in order to enrich
the rich and to increase uivi-
dends. And how we all shake
our angry fists at such greedy
soulless trusts like the beef
trust because of their unjust
and unwholly dealing with
the consumer. Our denouc-
ing is bitter and loud, be-
cause, among other reasons
we have no financial connect
tions with such trusts. If we
we're stockholders and re-
ceived dividends, we would
be tempted to argue from a
totally different standpoint.

The dreaded disease, tuber-
culosis, is more frequently
found in the crowded parts OF
cities, where houses are built
closely together in which
pure air cannot circulate
freely, and where sunlight
cannot enter. Over-crowded
poorly ventilated room and
workshop tend to spread the
disease. We. may well be
thankful for the abundance OF
pure air in our country home.

Less than week of the session re-
mains and Congress will doubtless
crowd as much legislation as posi-
BILE in the final Saturday, and iprob-
ably move the hands of the clock
back ward in order to secure few
minutes more time. The President
will be busy on March 4th, affixing
his signature to the delayed bills.
Congress is working franticallv in
order to finish things before twelve
o'clock March 4th. Men, legislators
statesmen, making laws for the
greatest nation of the world, fritter
the early days of session most frivol-
ously and then do hurry-scurry work
in final fleeting minutes. So it has
been, so it is, SC it will be.
Whether there will be an extra
session called Immediately after
March the 4th depends entirely up
on the action of Congress on the re-
ciprocity agreement which the
President has made with the Cana
dian government. Much of the time
of Congress has already been taken
up listening to the selfish plants of
isolated interests, interests that
have so long been favored that they
imagine themselves the people and
the nation. They are active and loud
and like scant brigade marching
around hill, by their activity and
noise make an impression upon a
oDe-sided onlooker of the whole
army. They have their representa-
tives in both houses of Congress,
too, though some of them will not
stay much longer. Bellweather AL
drich is at southern resort having
as he says the time of his life, and
Bellwater Hale of Maine has just
seven days more, but he is playing
his roll of obstructionist and will
play it till the curtain falls. There
will be no encores as far as he is
concerned. After he is out of the
Senate his inability to learn or for
get will hinder progress no more.

Large Number of Hens Is Kept.
Where hens are kept in large num-
bers no plan will give better general
results than hopper feeding a dry
mash and scattering hard grain in lit
ter. The economy in feeding the mash
dry from hopper is in the reduced
labor, which is one of the most expen-
sive items. Doing the work with half
the labor, says New England Poultry
Journal, means that we can keep twice
as many hens, and if each individual
hen does not pay as large a profit as
where more labor is given her the ag-
gregate will be larger.
For instance, if 500 hens at food
cost of $500 produce $500 dozen eggs
it would be more profitable with the
