training facilities are limited the navy has turned
out some of the best men in the boxing world
today.
For example, there are Sailor Burke and Tom
Sharkey, both graduates of the navy prize-fght
ers, and Sammy Robdeau, lightweight champion
of the navy, who is considered one Of the best
lghtweights In the country either in or out of
the navy.
THE constant change in the personnel Of the
men" says Paymast6r Bovine, mot only means
constant work on the part Of the officers to mold
them into shape but 1t also means that Uncle
Sam Is just sosmuch richer by every man who
leaves the navy after serving his apprenticeship.
He has just so many more to call on in case Of
necessity, for man never forgets the A of
the war game once he learns it. So for this
reason, as well as because 1t contributes to the
health and pleasure Of the men, nothing they can
get in the way of training is thrown away on
them
"And, too the sailors life is a pleasant one.
There is lots of hard work, to be sure, but there
is plenty to eat, clean place to sleep and good
share Of recreation In the matter Of athletics
as well as in other ways the government does
more for It's sailors than any other country

or something that especially appeals strikes up,

Personally Jack has love Of betting. Gambling
amounts to a passion with him and at the big
athletic events considerable sum Of money is
apt to change hands. But Jack doesn't conine
himself to big events, for as one sailor says, ne
bets at the drop of hat.
He carries his propensity for wagering to the
possible destination Of the ship, whether he
will have salt or fresh water in which to wash
his hammock and thousand and one things be-

hammock thorough scrubbing once fortnight,

GREEN CORN FOR
FODDER AND SlLO
Plant an Early Variety for Feed
ing to Cows-Runout Sod
Ground.

For feeding green to cows during
the summer, plant an early variety OF
corn. Select rim-cut, sod-ground. or
ground from which crop Of crimson
clover or green rye has been cut of.
Plow the ground, harrow and roll be-
fore the fresh plowed ground can dry
out. Mark out the long way of field
and drill half bushel Of corn and 400
pounds of standard bone fertilizer
to the acre. This is much the quickest
and most economical way 1t saves
time and labor. The corn is put in at
the right depth and without waste OF
seed. Four hundred pounds of good
superphosphate to the acre, applied to
good sod land, will bring good crop
of forage. If land is thin, spread a
coat Of manure and harrow 1t in. then
drill the corn in with the phosphate.
Run the drills feet apart. If the
field is weedy, plant in hills so the
crop can be cultivated both ways. As
soon as the corn can be plainly seen,
start the sulky cultivator, using the
steel chisel teeth Early cultivation
kills weeds and starts vigorous
growth Of the corn. Plant the variety
of corn that Is best suited to your soil
and climate. Homegrown seed is
best and much the cheapest. The num-
Der Of acres to plant viii depend upon
the capacity of silo. and the number
OF stock to feed One acre of good
land given thorough culture, will yield
10 to IL tons Of forage. For green
feed to supplement the pasture during
the latter part Of summer and early
fall one acre for is head of cows
should be planted. Have one large
field and drill the corn the long way
Of field. Be sure to have the ground
finely puIverized and rolled: the field
can ther be quickly planted and early
given Corn is the best
crop to grow for green feed for the
silo, or to cure for winter feed.

LOCATION AND PREPARATION OF HOTBED
MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER
Fall Is Best Time to Make Ready and to Secure Best Results
Concrete Should Be Used in ConstructiOn-Sunny
Side Of Building Best for Protection

The fall is the time to prepare the
hotbed To avoid annual repairs, and
to secure the best results build It Of
concrete. Locate the bed on the sunny,
wind-protected side Of a building
A 4-sash bed is usually large enough
except for commercial purposes. A
standard hot-bed sash is feet by 6
feet, Lay out the bed feet inches
wide by II feet 10 inches long The
concrete walls are 6 inches thick. Dig
the foundation trenches 2 feet 6 inches
deep within the lines given above.
Make forms Of 1-inch lumber to carry
the south 'front.' wall inches and
the north (back) wall IA inches above
aground. Forms are not required be-
low ground level The tops Of the end
walls slope to the others. Before fill
ing the forms with concrete, test the
dimensions Of the bed by means of
the sash. See that the sash laps to
form 2 inches on all sides.
Mix the concrete mushy wet in the
proportion OF l bag of cement to 2ls
cubic feet Of sand to 5 cubic feet Of
crushed rock, or / bag of cement to
s cubic feet of bank-run gravel. Fill
the forms without stopping for any
thing. Tie the walls together at the
corners by laying in them old iron
rods bent to right angles. While plac-
ing the concrete set h-inch bolts
about 2 feet apart to hold the wooden
top framing of the bed to the con
crete; or make grooves in the top of
the concrete for counter shaking the

ports are of dressed 1.inch stuff,

Sufficient materials for the concrete
will be supplied by IA bags of cement,
TX cubic yards OF sand and "a cubic
yards of crushed rock; or IA bags OF
cement and ~ yards Of pit gravel at
cost of $1,000.
If the bed is to be used as cold
frame, 1t Is finished when covered
with glass. For a hot bed, dig out
the dirt to the depth of 2 feet. tramp
In Is inches OF fresh horse manure
well mixed with leaves or bedding and
cover 1t with A to 8 inches OF rich

inside and allow the bed to heat up.
After a couple of days, when the tenn
perature has dropped to IS or 80 de-

EXCELLENT FEED
FOR ALL POULTRY
Sprouted Oats Is One Of Best
Things That Can Be Given
to Little Ones.

Oats is one of the best feeds one
can give chicks for growth, but it ia
hard to get In suitable form for feed
ing to poultry. One of the best meth
DDS is to sprout it. A pail of oats is
covered with water and allowed to
soak about twelve hours. In winter
we use water which is heated and just
cool enough that you can bear your
hand in 1t, in summer, cold water.
After soaking, the oats are poured
out into trays two feet wide and three
feet long and two inches deep. The
bottoms of these trays are made OF
galvanized one-fourth inch mesh wire
screen. We start a bucketful Of the
oats every day. piling the trays on top
Of each other until we have four or
I've.
Meanwhile we must thoroughly stir
the oats in each tray every day and
wet with water. The oats viii, no
doubt. heat some and this makes them
sprout fast, but If they have ten
dency to get too hot, cold water could
be used to keep them cool. BY the
fourth or fifth day the sprouts are
perhaps one.half to 0ne inch long.
For summer feeding. when the stock
can get plenty of grass, they will eat
the oats readily at this stage and 1t
is as good a growing feed as can be
obtained. The sprouts are very good
for early chicks that can get no grass.
For winter feeding to the poultry, 1t
Is often advisable to let the oats grow
more and turn green. Then you will
have to let 1t grow few days longer.
and If you can get suitable rack to
hold the trays several inches apart 1t
win be very convenient. BY starting
one tray each. day and feeding the far
therest developed each day continu-
Gus supply may be had. This feed
has been advertised extensively as a
secret and the books explaining this
method have sold extensively at from
81 to IS each.
In feeding for growth and early
development remember that the best
feeds are cheapest. and that plenty
Of clean feed Of such variety to pro-
duce balanced ration and plenty of
pure water viii make you more profit
than If the birds are scantily fed and
allowed to stay in filthy quarters and
nestered by lice.

One Of the newest amusements
provided for the sailors is the
moving picture show, and this
they enjoy hugely. The films are
rented for the most part, though
the navy recently bought a set
which Mr.. Edison took depicting
the life of the sailor. This is very
popular. How often exhibitions are
given depends on the weather and
where the ship happens to be. II
in port where the men can get
ashore, there is little need of spe-
cial recreation. But il on cruise
or the weather is bad, then the
movies" are given two or three
exhibitions a week, Apropos of
this feature Capt. H. B. Wilson of
the North Dakota is considering
plan to introduce the Kinemacolor
pictures soon.
Another innovation which Cap
tain Wilson is also responsible for,
according to Paymaster Bovine, IL
the setting aside Of one Of the gun
compartments on the ship as
reading and writing room for the
sailors. Though small, 1t is
great boon to them, for now they
can write comfortably at desk in
stead Of on their ditty boxes. More
over, there are provided between
thirty and forty magazines with
two or three copies each Of the
daily papers, SO the sailors, when
at leisure, can pass the time read
ing If they so elect.

Everybody here knows that the fur

crew comes to DEBORAH, whether in
base ball, basket ball or other con-

the season at Luther College.
Next Monday night, at the audi

beginning at 1880 O'Clock, will be
between the ST. Olaf Academy and
Luther College preparatory teams.
The second game will be between st.

teams. That they will both be SEN
sational games, there is no doubt, for
the two teams are always evenly
matched. Admission to both games
will be 80 cents, and a big crowd will
be on hand.
