To Muster Out Guardsmen.

Maj. +. l.. Wells, senior mastering
officer who was in charge of the mo-
bilization of the states troops at Camp
Ferris last summer, returned from Fort
Smelling, the Minnesota camp, to his
headquarters in this city and left at
once for Fort Wayne, where he will
assume charge of the mastering out of
the returning Michigan troops.
The Third Minnesota regiment has
been mustered out by Major Wells mt
Fort Smelling. 1t is expected that he
will be stationed ut Fort Wayne, the
Michigan winter camp, until the last Of
the Michigan guardsmen have re-
turned.
Major Wells established new rec
ord at Fort Smelling when he mustered
out regiment in II days. The previ-
Gus record was IA days.
At this rate, 1t Is calculated by state
military officers that it will be more
than two months before the last Of the
Michigan troops are returned to their
home stations, even should they be dis
patched back as rapidly as Fort Wayne
Is vacated by former bodies of soldiery
for their use. 1t Is improbable that
they will be dispatched with such ra-
pidity. 1t Is therefore not improbable
that five or six months will elapse be-
fore all Michigan guardsmen are again
In their homes.

One of the least-known cities OF

interest. Urga lies at the edge of
desert in North China, and it's people
are most un-Chinese in appearance. 1t

Is a lama. The chief lama in Urga
is as great q parsonage in the North
as the Dalai lama half century ago.
Thousands upon thosands Of lesser
lamas adore him and tens Of thou

adore lesser lamas. There is also a
college for the study Of religion In
Urga, so that holy men in all stages
Of holiness are present in great num-
bers. There are frequent festivals,
with great spinning of prayer wheels
and making Of offerings and ceremo-
MES of publication, eliminating IN the
grotesquely beautiful devil dance by
certain of the lamas in their horrible
robes and masks. The populace Is
used to the religious atmosphere,
though, and it is the pilgrims from the

LOOK OUT FOR LUMPS
ON JAWS OF CATTLE
Disease May Be Successfully
Treated if Taken While in
Its lncipient Stage.

(By n. 8. EAKINS, Colorado Agricul.
tural College, Fort Collins.)
The loss occurring from the con-
demnation of the heads Of beef ami
mails because of "big jaw" or what is
perhaps more commonly known as
'lumpy jaw" is surprisingly large.
Treatment of this disease is very sue
cessful if taken during the incipient
stages, and even when the disease Is
well advanced it is controlled by vet
erinary skill in many cases. There is
some question concerning the direct
transmission of this disease from one
animal to another but there is no ques-
tons about the folly Of taking chance
on any loathsome disease among ami
mails on the farm. Any nodule or alb
scess formation about the jaws or
necks of cattle should be looked upon
with suspicion and attended to at
once.

KICKING cow EASILY CURED
Three Different Methods Suggested for
Treatment of Unruly Animal by
Kansas Expert.

(By LESLIE ROSS, Kansas Experiment
Station.)
Care and patience will do much to
cure the kicking COW.
The kicking COW is easily cured by
the proper methods. To cure the Of
Tending animal take rope with a
loop in one end Of it or trunk strap
and pass it around the body Of the
COW. Draw it tight. The cow usually
will jump a little at first, but when
she finds she cannot get out of the
rope she will Standard cannot kick.
This method once in while causes
the COW to give bloody milk. If this
happens place the rope or strap be-
hind the udder and draw it up In the
same manner. With some cows this
cannot be done because of the shape
of the udder. Another method is to
hobble the COW by passing the rope
around each leg behind the udder, and
tying just above the hooks. This is,
however, rather dangerous for the
man tying the rope. After the pre-
ventive measure has been repeated q
few times the cow will stand readily
to be MIXED.

NUMBERS OF COUNTRY ROADS
Iowa State Highway Commission Sug-
gests That City Plan Be Used
Capital Central Point.

Numbering of country roads and
residences so that every road and
country home may be instantly To-
Gated, is advocated by the service bull
letin of the Iowa state highway COM
mission, which is just off the press.
The system advocated was originally
suggested last June.
In the system suggested, the section
upon which the state capitol is located
is considered the central point and all
roads are numbered north, east, south
and west from this. Using the base
map appearing in the bulletin, one
can easily locate the number Of his
road and house.
The system is so arranged that
practically every road bears the same
designation across the state. The
numbering system does not in any
way interfere with the use of the
names of organized tourist routes
such as Lincoln highway and others.

the medium-sized or large ones, they
may prove costly in the end, especially
if they lack the vitality necessary to
make good growth after being
planted.
Apple, plum, pear, and cherry trees
are commonly planted as two-year-
olds; that is, after they have made
two seasons growth in the nursery,
though many growers prefer one-year-
old trees, especially apple and cherry.
Peaches are invariably planted as one
year-olds.
Nursery trees should always be
packed in such a way that the roots
will not dry out, and upon delivery
at the place where they are to be
planted they should be unpacked I'M
mediately. Unless the trees can be
planted at once, they should be heeled
in. A place that is well drained, with
deep mellow soil, should be selected
Tor heeling in the trees. A trench Is
dug Of sufficient width and depth to
receive the roots, and the trees are
carefully placed in this trench. Trees
that are tied in bundles should be sep
arated before heeling in, and the earth
should be worked around the roots OF
each tree to prevent drying to any
serious extent.
Preparation for Planting.
Thorough preparation Of the soil is
Just as important for planting an or
chard as for planting corn or wheat.
Deep plowing and thorough harrow
ing are very essential. 1t is very
good plan to grow some cultivated
crop on the land the year preceding

will not only put the land in better

food in the soil. Preliminary to dig
ging the holes for the trees, many
growers plow one or two burrows as
deep as practicable along the line
where the tree row is to go. This
blowing saves considerable digging
when planting the trees.
Setting the Trees.
Success in planting trees Is made
possible by avoiding unnecessary ex-
posure of the roots and by thorough
firming of the soil about the trees.
Pudding the roots is a common prac-
tice where the roots are apt to be ex-
posed during planting operations.
In preparing the tree for planting,
all bruised or broken roots should be
cut off, and all excessively long roots
should be pruned back to correspond
with the rest Of the root system. The
holes for the trees should be large
enough to admit the roots without
bending and crowding, and deep
enough so that when filled the trees
will be two or three inches deeper than
they were in the nursery. The trees
should be set with a slant toward the
direction of the prevailing winds. After
the trees are set they should be pruned
back. One-year-old trees are usually
cut back to a single stem 18 to 30
inches high, but if the trees are very
large three or four short stubs are
left at the top Of the main stem so as
to insure the growth of branches at
the point where it is desired to form
the head of the tree. Two-year-old
trees should have short stubs left
which are carefully selected to form
the scaffold limbs of the trees.

always well to find out what varieties

also to consult the best authorities in

Where the site selected for an or
