HOW TO CLEAN YOUR GUN

There are two methods used for
cleaning a gun barrel. The first is
the hot water treatment, but It ought
only be used II your supply Of pow.
der solvent is exhausted and you are
far from store. Boiling water is
an excellent solvent for the harmful
ingredients OF fouling. When poured
down your barrel, it removes acids
that may be present and carries away
the various residues which are obvi-
ously more soluble in water than in
Oil. The hot water treatment, how.
ever, is very dirty and announcement
when carried out on small scale,
and has the objection Of not. as a
rule, being available Immediately af-
ter shooting and unless you are care
full to protect your stock and fore.
end, you may injure these wood parts
II possible you should get good
lubricant solvent and rust preventive.
A small rag well saturated with an
oily, non'corrosive mixture of this
sort, pulled through the riding again
and again, will keep your arm in
prime condition, il used after each
days shooting. One very simple and
effective way to clean your compare
lively new arm is to moisten the in.
terror of the barrel by blowing thru
and rubbing out with soft rags. The
process should be continued until the
rags come out perfectly clean-then
oil thoroughly.
All arms should be cleaned within
two hours after shooting. No gun
should be set aside or placed In the
gun rack until thoroughly cleaned.

A MORE EFFICIENT
MILITIA

|
1t seems probable that Congress
will meet the demand for better mil.
itary preparation largely by increas-
ing and reforming the militia. One
great reason why Secretary CART.
sons Continental Army has met with
opposition, Is the doubt whether the
young men would enlist. Too long
absences from home would be re.
quired. Few men would be patriot
ic enough to give up a promising po-
sition to take the camp training re-
quired.
In the past history Of militia work,
encampments have been brief and
the drill at home too much dress pa
rade. The present militia law pro-
vides certain amount of supervision
by United States army officers. This
has promoted much better results.
But instruction needs to be more
thoroughly organized, and more time
given. Young men cannot be ex.
rected to give all this time for pure
patriotic fervor.
Many of the essentials of military
training can be given in militia
oompany's home town. A boy can
learn to shoot in the back lots at
home as well as at Plattsburgh
camp. given proper instruction. The
principles Of sanitation, first aid, etc.
can be taught at home.
Army officers seem to feel that the
training in big camps is essential.
Yet many militia officers say the
army men value too little what is
being done by training in smaller
units at home. According to their
view, the great advantage of train.
ing in big camps is that the officers
get practice in the handling of large
bodies Of men. It would seem as If
they should get this more through
concentrations OF the regular army,
rather than by taking great bodies
of young militiamen away from their
work.
1t would be cheaper to take the of.
ficers to the militia. than the militia
to the officers. a big force of army
officers appointed to organize thor.
oughly the work in local companies,
with fair pay for more time put into
training, would make the National
Guard far more effective than It is

ney, the company's agent in the seed
department, to Russia, to purchase
beet seed for the years 1917 and 1918
and that he likely arrived in Swed
en- today.
Eccles states that the purchase Of
seed in Russia by his company does
not mean that the seed farms in
Cache Valley and Idaho will be
abandoned, but that the raising of
seed in Utah is experimental at best
and he desires to make sure that the
seed for the next two years will be
forthcoming. The seed farms OF the
company will be operated and as
much seed as possible raised at
home. Mr.. Quincy was sent to the
old world with ample credentials to
carry him through the foreign coun.
tries without embarrassment, finan.
cial or otherwise and It Is expected
that he will succeed in purchasing all
the seed his company will need for
the coming two years.

FIRE HAZARDS

Insurance men are saying much
nowadays about fire hazards. In
good many cities efforts are being
made to promote fire proof construc-
ton. Campaigns are noted In many
places to have use OF wooden shingles
stopped. The losses by fire are great
and people are thoughtless about
these matters. Every man who puts
up building this spring should con-
slider II his construction is going to
add to the fire peril OF his home
town.
There is a growing tendency to
put wooden buildings too closely to-
gether. AS towns increase land costs
more, lots are cut up smaller and
houses jostle each other. Some Of
the modern city suburbs, with two
and three family houses built OF
wood on small lots, are perfect fire
traps. 1t is all wrong to put up any
wooden buildings having height of
% to 80 feet, and place them only
about 90 feet apart.
No matter how neat and artistic
such dwellings may be, such a col
lection seems like mushroom
growth. Its obvious flimsiness offend
the eye. Once fire gets started on
windy day, even an efficient fire
department is helpless, and a whole
neighborhood may be laid low. A
wooden building suggests country or
suburban life, and 1t needs space
arond It to look well. II you must
build close TO your neighbor, make
it of brick or concrete. 1t will not
cost much more, and the insurance
man will smile on you.
Municipalities are too lax in al.
lowing the conditions referred to
Probably the real estate dealers have
too much political influence. II II
thickly crowded wooden buildings are
to be permitted, the least that should
be required is iireproof roofing.

town cannot grow unless It has cheap
rents, and that It would not have

AND HER TREATIES
President Wilson Finds Justification For Present
Action in Document Signed in 1890

According to the Washington cor
respondent OF the New York World
the treaty between the United States
and Mexico, the principles Of which
the president has followed In order
ing troops across the Mexican border
was signed on June %, 1890. At that
time James G. Blaine was secretary
OF state and Matias Romero the Mex
lean minister to this country. While
this convention is not in force at the
present. the president feels justified
in carrying out its principles in view
of the present emergency which has
arisen in Mexican affairs.
This agreement provides for "the
reciprocal crossing of the interna-
tional boundary line by troops Of
their respective governments in pur-
suit OF savage hostile Indians"
The conditions under which troops
of either country might cross the Dor.

Article 3-The reciprocal crossing

of said boundary line.
Article 5-The commander OF the
troops which cross the frontier in

Each Of the common cereals includ-

several different kinds of rust which
are distinct from each other and which
vary in their virulence of attack.
Wheat, for instance, is known to have
In this country three kinds of rust !:
leaf rust, stem rust, and yellow or

1t is well known that seed treatment
has no effect on the rust. Soil treat
ment is also almost ineffective, except
insofar as good soil practice will put
the seedbed in the best condition and
promote the most rapid and vigorous
growth of the wheat plant.
OF course, spraying of grain fields
Is not only impractiGable but useless
as well. Certain farm practices, as
for instance the use of well-drained
land, however, should be followed in
order that the crop may be given the
best possible chance to escape an cpl
demic or to endure 1t.
Early maturing varieties on well.
prepared land sown as early in the
season as possible, may assist in es-
Gaping the rust If the attack Is late.
There can be no logical reason for
maintaining common barberry plants
anywhere in the vicinity of grain
fields. Certainly no new ones should
be planted and the old ones should
be removed.
