THE NEW CAMP

officers training camp, makes spe-
cial appeal to men of mature age.
The war department strongly desires
men who, by virtue of their ripe JudS-
ment and that force of character
which come with years, are able to
lead others.
Men of 81 and over, and up to A
years of age, are particularly wanted
professional men-men now holding
responsible positions and business
executives and men of special mill
tary training up to so years. The
military officials point out further that
the more mature men, who are ready
to serve their country at war, should
consider it solemn duty to apply Tor
positions as officers rather than to be
content thru modesty, with place
in the ranks.
The Men Especially Desired.
Since the best ideal of service is
for every man to do what he is par
ticularly fitted for, men of maturity
should consider that they are full
filling their plain duty by qualifying
as officers; that they are serving their
country most efficiently by serving as
commanders.
This is the final call for older men
from civil life, VINO have a fund of
real. personal experience. Younger
men can rise from the ranks. The
training camp is primarily for those
over 81 years of age.
The war department makes it very
clear that when the men, who secure
commissions at this last camp, have
taken their places as leaders of the
first 100000. all promotions will be
from the rank and file.
Qualifications.
In brief, the following are the quail
ifications for admission to the new
training camps:
An intelligent, trained mind. Elk
ecutive business ability. Previous
military training is an asset-but not
necessary. The maximum age limit
is so years: the minimum, 20 years, 8
months. However, in order to obtain
the experienced class of men desired.
preference will be given to those over
81 years of age, other things being
equal.
The war department expressly
states that because of the anticipated
large number of applications, it will
probably be difficult for men under
8 years to qualify. except in instances
where the applicants have pre-emi-
nent qualifications or unusual military
experience.
The Pay Received
! The government will pay civilians in
training at the rate of 500 per
month, and will also furnish Transport
tation, subsistence and uniform. Men
who receive commissions will be paid,
while in active service, at the same
rate as regular United States army
officers, which is as follows:
Second lieutenant ......s1, 10000
First lieutenant ....... 100000
captain 100000
Major ................ 100000
Lieutenant-colonel ......... 100000
The obligation involved is ''enlist-
ment for period of three months
only. Applicants will agree to accept.
at the end of the training, such COM
/ mission in the Army of the United
I States as may be rendered by the
/ secretary of war. The enIistmer
| however, obligates one to service in
/ the training camp only.

Time to Apply Lime.

The best time to apply lime is prob
ably during the preparation Of the seed
bed for corn. The thorough cultivation
Of this crop mixes the lime with the
upper soil. Lime should not be applied
to the surface and Immediately plowed
under. as this tends to place it too far
from the surface, where it is needed
Neither should the caustic forms (hy-
drafted lime and quicklime) be applied
in connection with manure or ferti-
lizers. 1t is better to pillow the manure
under and put the lime on top OF
the soil. In case the manure is de-
sired for top dressing the lime should
be worked into the soil at least two
weeks previous to the application OF
manure. Likewise it is well TO apply
the lime some time previous to COM
mercial fertilizers. Further Informs

SENSIBLE FEEDING OF
ENSILAGE TO CATTLE

Feeding ensilage to dairy cows re-
CURES more Judgment, l think, than
feeding beef cattle, writes r. Fritz in
the Iowa Homestead. At first dairy
cows are stall fed, while beef cattle
are mostly fed in a lot out of feed
bunk. You read many methods Of
feeding-so many pounds of ensilage,
so many pounds of hay and corn stover.
This Is all right, but who has a herd
OF milk cows that will eat alike of one
feed? Some cows like more silage than
others, while others leave the silage
and wait for clover hay and corn stover
or let the silage be doped with the
grain ration before they start to eat.
My experience is not to get the idea
that each COW must eat a certain num-
Der OF pounds of ensilage and If she
doesn't there Is something the matter
with her. The better way is to watch
which COW eats readily and give her
an extra tip. Also watch the COW that
waits for the grain ration, for she has
Just as good an appetite as the one
that eats readily, but she has been
overfed and doesn't like the taste. Feed
her lightly until she is back on feed
again. If she doesn't consume larger
amount don't feed any more than what
is cleaned up, and leave her looking
for more. She really doesn't want any
more, but has a craving for 1t, and If
given more will just nose around in 1t
and let 1t alone. This COW needs to be
fed a little heavier grain ration than
the other and will respond to the milk
pail IL given.
Don't feed too much ensilage-that
is, so much that they let it lie or re-
fuse to eat anything else. Make them
cIean it up. 1t is easier for you to let
the COW clean out the feed box than to
do 1t yourself after she has had as
much as she wants. Such method Ia
very wasteful.
Don't feed too little-that is more
Improbable. than the other way.

Fire Destroyed Grain Field

A fire which started in some
unknown manner on one of the
Wren & Greenough farms neal
Fem Saturday afternoon de.
stroyed about twenty acres OF
fine fall wheat and only the d.
rection of the wind prevented a
spread of the flames that might
have resulted in untold damage.
A combine was operating in the
field at the time and it has not
been determined whether the
fire was started by the machine
or in another manner. Fortu-
nately the wind was blowing
quite strong at the time and car
ried the flames in straight line,
preventing their spreading to
each side, until the edge of the
field at the roadside was reached
where the fire died out. When
the smoke was first seen the
neighboring farmers gathered
water tanks and other fire fight
ing paraphernalia and were on
the scene in short order but
could do little but allow the
flames to burn out of their own
accord. The field destroyed was
yielding about 80 bushels of
wheat per acre and at present
prices the loss was above the
$1,000 mark.
