who are coming may expect ana
what they should take along with
them.
I'VE had 70 take the interurban
out from Des Moines, and it takes
all the way from forty minutes to an
hour and a half" he writes. When
We got here that afternoon we were
given a straw bed tick, two WOODEN
blankets and a little iron bed. We
did not receive any clothes at all for
about a week, but l was lucky enough
to have e. friend, Herman Allen, In
the company, who fitted me out in
complete uniform the next day. the
boys soon picked up pair Of shoes
here and a pair OF pants there
around the companies, and some
bought complete outfits. In five or
six days we got our shoes, hat, hat
cord, shirt, two pairs Of socks and
pair Of WOODEN gloves. As yet we
have received no pants or leggtngs.
We got our heavy overcoats about
Wednesday. l asked the battery
commander what the boys from home
could expect, and as far as he knew
he told me they probably would not
receive any more than we did.
Articles to Bring.
$50, the boys should take a wool
en- shirt, heavy shoes, heavy socks,
three or more changes OF underwear,
several towels, and handkerchiefs.
If they have any kind of military
uniform they should bring it along.
Also, a suitcase or something strong
TO keep their extras in. We are
sorry we brought none. The boys
probably viii get what we were Civ
en- the first three or four days, but
it's well to have some good heavy
clothes to wear when they want to
launder their uniforms"
From every indication one uniform
will be all the boys will receive for
the present

The country home OF Charles u.
Haynes was completely destroyed by
fire at 2.30 O'Clock this afternoon,
when sparks came thru a defective

The flames had too great a headway
for anyone to save the place. The
house was burned to the ground.
Nothing was saved from the home
and the hand made walnut and ma

The place belongs to Mr.. Haynes

The dairymen of the county are re-
ceiving the highest prices for but
terfat in their history. The price
at this date for the Belle Springs
Creamery Co., for the past four years
is: 1914, 28 cents; 1915, S2 cents;
1916, "a cents; 1917, 40 cents. 1t
is believed that so cents will be paid
in a short time. Butter is selling at
retail at So cents, the highest fig-
ure ever known here. The farmers
are increasing their milk sales some-
what, but the county could have

"The houses should be kept clean, dry.

house becomes foul 1t should be clean
ed. disinfected and a small amount OF
lime scattered about the floor. 1t Is
also good practice to whitewash the
walls frequently.
"The lots should be kept clean. Cobs
should be burned and the ashes and
charcoal given the hogs. The pens
should be kept free from manure and.
when possible, it Is good practice
to move the hogs to new soil This
helps to keep them in a more health

WORK HORSES AND SAVE MEN
Expert of Missouri College of Agri.
culture Outlines Plan to Solve
Labor. Problem.

Labor Is the limiting factor in crop
production this year. Horses are rela-
lively plentiful in comparison. o. X.
Johnson of the department of farm
management of the Missouri College of
Agriculture suggests that farmers lay
aside One-man and twO-hOrse tools and
use those that require more horses so
that more work per man can be done.
One man with three horses to n To-
inch breaking pillow will turn over three
acres or less in day. The same man
with Il gang pillow consisting of two
12-inch bottoms will average 4A acres
Il day and will use one more horse.
This means that by increasing the
horse stock one-third. one man can
increase his efficiency in breaking
ground nearly IS per cent.
Investigations have actually shown
that man on riding implement will
do more work in day than tee same
man and the same team with imple-
ments that require him to walk. The
use of bigger tools and thorough prep
aratiOn of seed beds will also cut down
the time required for cultivation OF
the corn crop Cultivation is the OPP
GRAFTON which limits the amount of
corn one man can grow. If Il good
seedbed is prepared. some time can be
saved in cultivating the crop, and con
sequently more acres can be grown.

CARE OF LIVE STOCK

Supply Is Rapidly Being Depleted and

BY r. w. CLARK, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins. ColoJ
Save all the heifer calves and plan
to raise more pigs, lambs, colts, calves
and chickens next year than you did
this year. Do you know the world is
being depleted of its live stock?
Keep your pigs growing. They
should weigh 200 pounds at six months
IF age and they are worth SIG hun
bred now. Ten good pigs are worth
1900.
Gre your hogs all the alfalfa or
clover they will eat winter and sum-
mer. Give them skim milk. whey,
some grain, or anything else you have
out be sure to give them all they can
eat.
Keep the calves growing. Give them
some grain, separate from milk, and
all the good hay they can eat. Veal
Is now worth 16 cents a pound. A
good veal is worth $50.
Feed the lambs well. They are
worth $50 apiece and wool is worth
from so cents to 20 cents pound.
! Feed the cows well. Keep them
milking. You may dislike to see them
eat so much, but please give them al
they can eat all the time. The price
of milk, butter and cheese is going
out of sight. Butterfat may be worth
81 a pound before long.
Feed and handle the mares so thai
YOU will save all the colts next spring
Good horses are worth $50 Il heat
more than they were a year ago. A
good horse is worth $500.

USE FOR HORSE CHESTNUTS
British School Children Gather Them
to SuppIant Grain for
Munitions.

London.-SchOol children all over
England will devote their leisure time
during the next six weeks in gather
ing horse chestnuts, which the govern
ment is able to use In unlimited guam
titles in the manufacture Of munitions.
Researches last year by the Royal So
ciety led to the discovery that horse
chestnuts provide satisfactory sub
stitute for the grain used in certain
processes of munitiOn making. Every
ton of horse chestnuts harvested will
save half ton of grain for human
consumption. Plans made by the
school authorities indicate that more
than 100000 tons of these chestnuts
will be turned over to the government
by school children this fall.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
There Is no advantage in skimping
the pig when it comes time to fatten
him, the United States department of
agriculture points out. During the
growing period OF his life, pastures
with little grain were in order, for
scale and constitution were the main
objects to be obtained. The last few
weeks before butchering the idea Is to
lay on a good covering of fat, to in
crease the proportion Of high-priced
lard, and to add tenderness and palat-
ability to the meat. A fat hog sells TO
much better advantage on the market
for these very reasons.
To add this fat rapidly and most
economically, we must feed an abun-
dance of grain. The self-feeder Is sim
ply a device to keep before the pigs Il
constant supply Of feed. in order that
they may eat of such feeds In such
quantities as they desire.
Results With Self-Feeder.
i brief resume of results obtained
nv experiments with over 215 hogs
mart of them settled and the balance
handled in the best possible manner
shows: ;,
l. That in comparison with the mana
fed pigs, the settled pigs ate grain Ii
per cent more rapidly.

NURSING SERVICE TO Be VERY BEST

service: and finally she must pass a
physical examination.
Such requirements mean that only
the best nurses can be enrolled in the
Red Cross service.
Takes Soldiers Oath.
When the enrolled Red Cross nurse
is called upon to go to the war she
takes an oath 10 support the COnstitu-
ton of the United States against all
enemies foreign and dOmestic-the
oath of the soldier. She receives an
appointment card and badge bearing
the same number. Congress has
placed a penalty upon the unauthOr-
lied wearing of the Red Cross nurses
badge.
Her uniform was white. but has
been changed to gray on account of
the limited laundry facilities in Eu-
rope, with white cap and an arm
brassard bearing the Red Cross in
sigma. She is also furnished a blue
cape marked with a red cross. This
uniform is more carefully protected
against unauthorized use than that OF
Il soldier in the army. In Europe, the
| Red Cross societies were not so strict
| in the protection of uniforms at first
and they had cause 10 regret it. The
Red Cross uniform there was used by
spies, by women of bad reputation
