twelve hours in warm water and then
b. spread out, one-half to one and one
half inches deep, on a floor or In a tray
or tier Of flats, with holes in the bot
tom or with one-fourth inch wire mesh
bottoms covered with burlap to provide

kled and stirred daily, or they may be
allowed to sprout without stirring until
ready to feed, which may be when the
sprouts are from one to one and one
half inches or even two to three inches
long. To sprout quickly oats need to
be In q warm, moist atmosphere, and
this requires heated room in winter.
1t takes from six to ten days to sprout
oats sufficiently to feed, depending
upon temperature conditions. To pre-
vent oats from becoming moldy when
sprouting they may be treated with
formalin, using mixture of one pint
of formalin to thirty gallons Of water.
This mixture Is sprinkled over and
thoroughly mixed with thirty bushels
Of oats, after which the oats are COW

for twenty -four hours and then stirred
until dry. Oats treated in this manner
may be sacked and held for consid-

Restoration Of Dreyfus,

Paris. Nov. 1.-The restoration of Ma
tor Dreyfus to active command in the
French army at this time, when his
country is at war with her arch enemy,
must be looked upon as the most COM

lcry officer from the charge that at one
time he sold secrets to Germany. The
Dreyfus case has several times excited

Judd Farmer. Rye planted in the yards
about September mot in the yards
now should make a good catch this
fall and in the spring come up with
strong, rank growth making excellent
green pasture. Even though the area ia
small. chickens seldom get ahead of
growing rye, and the culms of grain
shooting up high furnish shade and
later on IN the season the ripened grsin
shatters out. giving the chickens exer-
else scratching for 1t.
For later summer this spring pastur-
age may be easily supplemented by a
spring planting OF oats and peas with
a little clover. Dwarf Essex rape also
planted i'll the spring makes good sum-
mer feed, but because of the green
color 1t imparts to the yolks of eggs il
must be fed only In limited quantities
to laying hens. Growing chickens need
green food. Rye planted in the fall and
oats and peas planted in the spring are
convenient and economical feeds.

Wants Hunters as Part Of Army.

Forked River, y. j.. Nov. 24-That a
system Of national preparedness should
take into consideration as a powerful
adjunct to any regular army nearly
100000 sportsmen now preparing for
the fall hunting season in New Jersey
Is the belief of President Ernest Ma
pier Of the state fish and game COM
mission, who in statement lauds the
sports of hunting as the creator of an
ever ready host Of minute men,"
forming the nearest approach in Amer
lea to the admirable Swiss reserves.
Viewed in its relation to it's value in
case of sudden invasion. he says
that every shot fired in pursuit of
game is shot in training for national
defense.
Hunting is the only lure which will
keep a great force of peaceful men in
state of preparedness for outdoor
service" he says. while they may
lack actual military training, these
sportsmen, or the great majority Of
them at least, are Injured by their
hunting trips to the rigors Of outdoor
life. They know how to take care of
themselves in the open. They can
shoot straight and quick. and they
form powerful unit from which mill
tary experts quickly could manufac-
ture and throw into the field for effec-
tive service a big army Of defense"

is now thing of the past. 1t has been
stopped by the voluntary action of the
three upper classes of midshipmen. The
lead was taken by the members of the
first class, but the second and third
classes acted with them with practical
umanimity.
No formal resolution to this effect
was passed. but the will of the student
body was indicated in such way that
no midshipman could act contrary to it
without incurring the severe displeas-
llre of his associates. 1t is considered
by midshipmen that hazing has ended
for all time
During nearly the whole Of the his
tory Of the Naval academy the mid
shipmen have shown great attachment
to the hazing system. In spite of the
fact that midshipmen have been dis
missed time after time hazing has con-
tinued, and it has been considered that
class which does not do it's share Of
hazing during it's second year at the
academy has failed to live up to the
traditions Of the institution.
The mitlshipmen now in the academy
feel, however. that the custom has put
the institution in an unenviable light
before the country and it's continuance
ieopardiZes the careers Of many of
their comrades. They have therefore
decided to cooperate with the navy
department and end it,

and bar fixtures, seized in raids. which
have been stored here for years, now
are finding their way to county offices
and schools in the shape of furniture,
turned ont by the students in the Cher

large supply of bax fixtures. but
there is always supply of beer kegs,
as bootleggers constantly attempt to
evade the prohibitory law.
The bars, usually of cherry or rose
wood, are made into tables, while
chairs are made of the slaves Of the

The pea aphis. a small green plant

The pea aphis prefers the young, ten

withstand considerable injury, but at
times entire fields are destroyed. Not
infrequently this plant louise attacks
alfalfa. In addition to the weakening
of the plant. the louise deposits honey
dew to such an extent that the plants
in badly infested field will be dis
colored on account of being covered
with this sweetish fluid. The infested
fields are not always killed outright
but heavily infestations apparently
have weakening effect. and probably
much Of the winter killing Of clover
can be traced back to the pea apllis.
In the clover field the pea aphis is
ordinarily held in check by its natural
enemies. If it is apparent that this
aohis is becoming unduly abundant the
clover should be cut as soon there.
after as possible, since the cutting and
drying of the clover will kill most of
the insects. Glover which becomes
coated with the honeydew Of the
aphides will not cure properly. Spring
pasturing or early cutting back Of the
clover will check the multiplication Of
this plant louse.
Fortunately, this species of plant
louise has number Of natural ene-
mics. One Of the most important Of
these is fungus which thrives under
moist conditions and may appear aft
er few days of rainy weather in tho
summer This fungus spreads with re-
markable rapidity among the lice and
frequently eradicates them. Pea
aphldes when attacked by this fungus
first turn brownish and later become

Dunno as means of furthering ma

He suggested there should be at
least million "cltizen soldiers" in the

would require every college and uni

aid to give four years Of military train

Discussing the location of national

II was surprised upon visiting the
United States arsenal at Rock Island

munition. guns. rifles or other arms
were being manufactured there. The
only products were blankets, harness,

The age at which young SOW is first
bred will depend upon her develop

advisable to breed her before she is
eight months old. Many good breed
ers prefer not to breed sows before
they are ten or even twelve months
old. and If they are intended for show
purposes 1t is scarcely advisable to
breed them earlier.
One Of the great objections to breed

Another objection to early breeding
is the fact that the very young SOW
has not the strength to stand the strain
OF nursing litter of pigs. and her vi.
tality Is sapped to such degree that
she never develops as she should. As
result, she will not retain her useful

likely to give strong, vigorous litters
