Every able bodied male citizen Of
the United States between the ages
Of Is and As years is held liable for
service in the national guard in war
time, without further act of congress,
by war department regulations for the
government Of the guard, issued un
der the national defense act. In a
circular prepared nearly two months
ago, but made public only last Mon
day, the militia bureau directed that
where national guard regiment is
called out for war service a rescrve ;
training battalion to fiji vacancies at
the front shall be organized out of
the national guard reserve and 10y
voluntary enlistment. "If for any
reason" the order continues, there
shall not be enough reservists or
enough voluntary enlistments to or
ganize or to keep the reserve battai-
ions at prescribed strength a sufIici-
ent number OF the unOrganiZed militia
shall be drafted by the president to
maintain such battalion or other loss
er reserve unit at the prescribed
strength"

Protect the Stock From Cold.

The farm stock are often very
poorly housed during the winter
months. Most farmers seem to for
get that stock have feelings just as
they have and appreciate warm dry
quarters during cold weather, just
as much as the farmer appreciates
a warm house. When the cold winds
Of winter are whistling around the
house and roaring fire is blazing
In the chimney, few thoughts are
given Of these horses and mules on
which the farm depends for q crop
Pneumonia and colds result, and
too often through this carelessnes ess
deaths result, and the farmer has
lost valuable animal. To have
good stock and keep them in good
condition, they must receive the
proper care, both as to housing and
feed. The farmer should see that
the stables are warm and that there
is plenty Of bedding in the stalls
IL some Of the farmers had to spend
the night out in the barn with the
stock he would no doubt soon learn
how necessary it is to have as COM
Portable Il barn as possible. Mir
Farmer, the stock will appreciate
this. why not see to it that they are
made com Portable

Velvet Bean,

With the steady and rapid in
crease in the acreage planted in vel
vet beans in this State. there are
many inquiries for information re-
garding this crop. The velvet bean
has been grown in Florida for over 40
years. but first only as an ornamen-
tai plant. As soon as it's value as a
ffefee -sotti improving crop be-
came known. experiments were made
to compare Its value with the better
known leguminous crops, peanuts
and cowpeas. AS forage crop, for
grazing hogs and cattle 1t will prob
ably outrank the cowpea in the
coastal areas Of this State. The
farmers at present are not as fa-
miliar with 1t as they are with cow
peas and peanuts. but no doubt once
they have made a test with velvet
beans the acreage will be increased.
To improve our sandy soils the vel
vet bean has no equal.
With the advance of the boil vice.
vii the farmer will necessarily be
forced to turn to soil building and
forage crops in order that he will
be able to feed the additional stock
which must necessarily take the
place of much Of the cotton now
grown. After proper drainage, veg
etable matter Is the most important
thing In building up our soils. The
leguminous crops, owing to their
nitrogen gathering properties are
the most valuable for supplying hu-
mus to the soils. The velvet bean,
owing to the enormous amount OF
growth will outrank all other le-
gumes In supplying this needed veg
etable matter. In addition to its
value as a soil builder, it is an ex-
cellent forage crop. The seed can
be ground into meal, grinding the
seed in the pod, just as corn Is
ground on the cob. This makes an
excellent feed for all kind of stock.
Velvet bean seed will he high
next spring. Buy your seed now
while they are cheap, and hold them
over until planting time.

HOUSE VISITS WILSON.
EUROPEAN ADVIS-
ER GOES TO WASHINGTON.
United States Won't Determine Action
Until Entente Reply Reaches State
Department.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Coincident
with the receipt here today of conf
Dental advices giving the broad out
lines of the entente reply to Presi-
dent Wilson'S note proposing discus
sion of peace terms, Col. E. NJ House,
the presidents friend and adviser, ar
rived at the White House. The col
onel's last visit was followed by the
dispatch of the presidents note.
At the same time press dispatches
from London told of speech by
Count Julius Andrassy, former pre-
mier Of Hungary, stating the central
powers had given or would give Presi
dent Wilson a statement of their
peace terms and that the entente al
lies could get them from him.
Officials at the White Hodse and
state department would not discuss
these developments other than to say
definitely that no other move upon the
part Of the American government
would be determined until the entente
reply was received 1t was said that
the president still has his mind open
on the question.
1t was not disclosed whether the ad-
ministration considers that the unfav-
orable action of the entente has left
the way open for confidential ex-
change Of terms
Both in German and entente circles
pessimism over the outlook was ex-
pressed. The president, however, was
understood to think that the moves al
ready made will be helpful ultimately
regardless of the immediate conse-
quences.
preliminary information received
here indicates that the entente note
will pay more attention to the presi-
dents suggestion that means be found
for preserving peace in the future
than did the reply Of the central pow
ers, which suggested the postpone
ment of this question until after the
present war.
Col. House through his two visits
to Europe since the war began is con-
'sidered by the administration to have
a complete knowledge of the many
cross currents operating for and
against peace in the several nations
at war.
a., It generally is expected that after
receipt of the reply Of the entente
allies. President Wilson will communi-
cate again with both sides.
If the terms Of the central powers
have been made known to President
Wilson, it is believed they came
through Ambassador Gerard at Ber-
lin. The German embassy here had
no information on the subject late
tonigh..
Several days ago it was stated au-
thoritatively that Germany was ready,
should it be necessary to keep the
road to peace open, to make known
confidentially the terms Of the CEN
trail powers to the president. 1t
was indicated that Germany also
might permit the terms to be trans
mltted in confidence to the allies.

Pea Seed to Bc Scarce and High.

Owing to che unfavorable season.
able conditions last July and August
there were not many peas made.
In some sections there was fairly
good crop. but in many places the
plants bore but few seed. This will
necessarily make the seed scarce
and high next spring. Farmers who
desire to plant many peas next sum
mer. will do we'll to buy their seed
now. and put them away carefully,
thus saving having to pay high
price for them next spring.
