War is Fought by Boys

That war is fought by boys is a
familiar truth that we often forget.
But the records of our own civil war
prove it overwhelmingly. The de-
partment rolls show that in the great
rebellion there were enlisted in the
army of the north 2, 778,309 men, and
of these Is were 10 years old and
younger, 225 IL years old and under,
1923 IA years old and under, 844, 1911
16 years and under, 1,l5l,4 3S 10
years and under, 2, 1853. 798 81 and
under and 61s, 511 q years and over.
Thus the average of the whole army
was 1877 years. When the war thus
takes away the manhood Of the coun-
try who can estimate the cost?-Chi-

John Cudahy, Famous
Chicago Packer, Dies

Chicago, April 24.-John Cudahy,
a member of the noted family Of pack:
ers, and for many years one of the
most striking figures on the Chicago
Board of Trade, is dead at his home
here, after serious illness that lasted
two weeks. For the last four years
his health had not been good, but il
did not take serious turn until his
return from his California ranch two
weeks ago.
At one time Cudahy failed for &c.
600, 1000, which put him more than 81,
5OO,OOO in debt. His friends thought
his financial career was ended. He
asked for five years to pay and in
1893 had settled all his debts and was
richer than ever, through his success

Born in Ireland; John Cudahy was
brought to America by his parents
when he was 4 years old. He amassed

Burn the DandeliOn Crop

To simply dig out your dandelior
crop is not sufficient, according to
good authority. Once dandelion gets
in full bloom the seed is far enough
matured to grow. The yellow flower
turns to cotton-like condition and
each seed has a pair of wings. The
first gust of wind carries it into some.
body's lawn where it fastens its fangs
in the blue grass carpet and begins
to gnaw.
When you dig your dandelions, pile
them until they dry, then burn them.
That is the only way to destroy dan
delion. Unless you totally destroy
them they will sneak back into your
lawn.

Pig Feeding Clubs
for Missouri Boys

Over in Lafayette and Clay counties
a number of Missouri boys are prac.
ticing the strictest economy in feed.
ing pigs. Every day they carefully
record the amount Of feed given the
hogs, and their own total hours or
minutes of labor. These boys belong
to the Pig Feeding Clubs which are
being organized throughout the state
by the College of Agriculture of the
University of Missouri. The clubs in
these two counties are the first to be
organized.
The object Of the pig clubs is to
practice the most economical meth
DDS Of feeding pigs, and at the same
time produce the greatest amount Of
pork possible.
One of the features of the work
will be a contest to see which boy
can feed pigs SO as to produce the
greatest number Of pounds of pork at
the least cost. The pigs are to be
fed from weaving time until sold or
killed for pork. Prizes will be given
to the boys whose pigs make the best
gain. The contest is open to all Mis-
souri, boys between the ages of ten
and eighteen years.
The Agricultural Extension Service
of the University of Missouri will fur
nish all boys interested with the plans
and instructions necessary to follow
in entering the contest.
