tains 9. large volume of water and
cannot stand exposure to the air any
great length of time, thus causing a
large loss and leaving a relatively low
grade of fuel. Because Of the nde
veloped coal industry in this state the
people send out millions of dollars to
buy eastern coal. The purpose of the
investigations carried on by the uni
versity is to work out some method to
increase the value of the Ignite de-
posits. A great deal of good work
along this line has been done at the
university school of mines and also at
the mining sub-station at Hebron.
Inc br1quets displayed are also made
at the Institution. These have been
shown to be of the best quality.
The university. is under the control
of Dean e. J.. Babcock and he is being
ably assisted by Miss Margaret Gable
and Seymour Anderson.
The Boys Encampment.
Every advantage is being taken Of
the splendid exhibit of live stock at
the state fair by the Better Farming
association for the purpose of instruc-
ting the farm boys as to the good
points of high grade cattle and of the
value of their. production. Not only
are the best blooded cattle being

~longhorns, belonging to. the wild west
show and herded near the camp, allow
excellent material for contrast and
comparison.
Yesterday morning the boys were
given several lessons in military drill
and vigorous setting UP exercises
which made the splendid breakfast
which followed more than welcome.
The subject of the days study was
the Care of Live Stock, and animals
were furnished by Gerald Arnold of
Wisconsin. Jacob Eastgate of Grand
Forks, n c.. S. Smith of South Da-
kota.
Beef Cattle Discussed.
Robbins discussed beef cattle and
breeds. He stated that the l~onghorns
were the original cattle and that t
was about $50 years ago that men
first began breeding stock. After
methods of eliminating, the present
breed of shorthorns was secured. Mr..
Robbins stated that the shorthorns
were the best mixers but thai it de-
pended on the man behind the work
rather than the breed. At the con-
clusion of Mr.. Robbins address the
boys were given a lesson in judging
cattle by J.. c. Hoke. Many farmers

terested spectators at this demonstra-
ton.
During the second perior j. c. Hoke
gave many valuable pointers on the
feeding of cattle. Mr.. Hoke stated
that the feeds must contain the ele-
ments of body structure n that only
by SO combining the elements in the
feed can the best results be obtained.
Mr.. Hoke stated that alfalfa is high
in protein and a valuable feed, while
silage is one of the best. Mr.. Hoke
advised, however, that it was useless
to try to raise cattle unless wind
breaks were provided, for the energy
used in making heat cannot go to the
making of beef.
Discusses Alfalfa.
J. w. Haw gave. an exceedingly in
teresting address on alfalfa and Glow
er and predicted a great future for
these grasses in North Dakota. Mr..
Haw believes there is a special future
for clover grasses if the land is put
into condition. He stated that he be-
lieved that alfalfa will become the
principal forage crop of North Dakota.
The concluding lecture of the after
noon was on crop rotations, o. d.
Center advising the right rotation of
crops in place of summer following.
Swimming Lessons Given.
Yesterday afternoon the boys were
given lessons in swimming at the Y.
M. c.. A. and it is believed thai before
the end of the week every member of
the camp will know how to take care
of himself in the water.
The camp. continues to be a source
of great interest to fair visitors who
carefully inspect the work the boys are
doing. The public is cordially invited
to come to the lectures and demonstra-
itions at any time and to watch the
boys at work and at play.
