instruction and active service on the border.
 Additional training for numerous guard artillery units soon will be in progress also at the various officers tra ming camps. At least a battalion e field artillery has been ordered to each camp in order that the artillery officers of the officers training camps for the national army may have the means of learning the things they must later teach the new forces.
 The greatest problem that faces the war department is to find supplies for the steadily increasing host of nation al guardsmen which moves to its mob ilization camps some time in July or August.
 Equipment Lacking.
 State officials have been notified that it is impossible to fill acquisitions for new equipment that have been pour ing in The first force to be made ready must be the regular army, ex- banded to 30O,OOO. The officers train ing camps, where 5O,0OO men are un- der arms, also have absorbed an enor- nous quantity of reserve equipment.
 The government, it was learned to- day, already is taking steps to look after the comfort of the troops in France in addition to regular prepara- tions. The state department has ask ed that the French duty on tobacco be remitted for supplies sent to the American forces there.
 The high French duties, if impress ed on soldiers luxuries will be almost prohibitive.

Warm Bath Is Essential
About four days before the show
give each fowl a warm bath. A thor
ough washing and careful drying will
improve the appearance of almost
every fowl, whether its color is white,
black or intermediate shades. A hot
room and the following utensils are
essential: Wash boiler filled with
two large tubs for colored fowls and
three tubs for white fowls; dipper,
hand brush, large sponge, cake of
good toilet soap and some towels.
The tub in which the fowl is first
placed for washing is filled two-thirds
with fairly hot water. The second
tub is partly filled with moderately
warm water to rinse out the soap.
while the third tub for white fowls
only (also partly filled with moder-
ately warm water) is slightly colored
with bluing, as for bluing white
clothes.
Before the fowl is placed in the
washing tub, its feet and legs should
be thoroughly cleansed. Then stand
the IOWl III ne water. MAKE an dDuH-
dant lather with the soap and sponge.
and work this stiff lather through all
the plumage. Lather the back, sides
of the body and the under plumage.
Rub the feathers with the web, or
diagonally, not against the web. Ex-
tend the wings and tail and wash each
feather. using the palm of one hand
for q support.
When the fowl has been washed,
1t is allowed to drain for few sec
onds. and then immersed in the rims

ing tub. Here, the dipper and sponge
are used to thoroughly remove all
soap from the plumage. With white
fowls, the birds are now dipped in
the bluing water.
When the fowl is taken from the
rinsing tub it is stood on a table and
the superfluous water is removed
with the sponge. The feathers are
next 'patted" with a towel to par
tally dry them, and the bird is placed
in clean coop near the stove to COM
plete the drying.
Special Shipping Coops Are Needed
Ordinary shipping coops have slat-
ted tops and sides, and they are low
the coops for shipping show birds
must be covered with muslin or have
solid sides. and they must be high
enough for the birds to stand upright,
and wide enough for the birds to turn
around without injuring their tails.
Do not be discouraged if you are
not successful at the first or second
show. Keep everlastingly showing.
Do not give up. Seek advice at every
show from judges and exhibitors, and
in time you are almost certain to gain
your share of the highest awards and
the profitable trade in stock and eggs
that naturally go to those who are the
recognized leaders in every standard
breed of poultry.
