Eleven million male citizens from
twenty-one to thirty years old, inclu-
sive, will be subject to draft by the
president of the United States.
But in order shat men under twenty
one and over thirty may serve their
country If they so desire, the measure
provides for the acceptance Of volun-
teers over eighteen years and under
forty years.
The gigantic number Of men subject
to draft will not all be called to the
colors by any means. The proposed
law gives authority to the president to
draft as many men as he deems nec-
essary to fill up the regular army, the
National Guard and the CONSUMPTION
force of 100000 men.
2,001 900 Armed Men.
It is estimated by the war depart
ment that as q result of the authority
conferred and the action to be taken
2,0O1, 900 officers and men will COM
prise the military establishment of the
United States.
Under the new bill agreed to author
ity is given to fill up by draft the reg
ular army and the National Guard to
war strength, and to raise outside this
100000 men, 100000 to come as the
first quota.
The war strength Of the regular
army is about 100000 men. 1t has
now about $4,000 men and Is short
about $4,000. The National Guard
has war strength of 5000 men. It
has now about $4,000 and is short
about 100000 men.
Therefore, on the first call there can
be taken for war service about 655,OOO
men to fill up gaps in the regular army
and National Guard and In addition
100000 as the first quota of the con-
script army of 100000 men.
In the first draft it is possible about
1,155,000 men will be taken for active
service, leaving authorization under
the present bill to call out immedi-
ately 100000 more for another con-
script army.
No Place for Roosevelt.
The action allowing Col. Theodore
Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for
eign service has been eliminated.
What the colonel will do now that
his pet project Is incapable of realiZa-
ton is a question. It is generally I'M
derstood that President Wilson is alb
solutely opposed to the idea Of vol
unteer organization under command Of
the colonel.
Pay for enlisted men and non
commissioned officers was agreed upon
as follows:
Men now receiving less than $21
per month are increased to $31 per
month; those who received $24 are
increased to $32: men who receive $50,
$50 or $40 are increased Sc each; men
who receive $40 are increased to $50.
Army Officers Pleased.
Army officers received notice Of the
age limit with pleasure. They had
expected higher maximum, though
they would rather have had the orig
ina1 ages Of nineteen to twenty-five.
A new section in the bill authorizes
the president to organize and equip
three machine-gun companies for
each infantry and cavalry brigade
and four machine-gun companies and
an armored motorcar for each in
fantry and cavalry division.
An interesting change is that the
draft will not be based upon the num-
Der of persons available for serv-
ice" as first proposed, but upon the
population.
A man may register by mail, IF nee
essary. Fraud in registration, exam
ination, etc., is punishable by the
same Imprisonment, "or, if subject to

British Women to Hold Vote Power

British Women to Hold Vote Power.
London, May 14.-Under the plans
now contemplated for the increase in
suffrage in England, Scotland and
Wales the number of persons enjoying
suffrage will be increased from 1885,
173 to 22,S48,901. About 100000
more men would be enfranchised and
the remainder would be women. Even
at the present figures women would
hold the balance of power for there
would be 12,044,334 men. Ireland is
not included in these figures because
Of the likelihood Of some form of home
rule being granted the Irish soon.

Root Crops Will
Supply Food for
Man or Beast
By EDWARD WORKMAN.
Chairman Agricultural Commit
tee of State Council of Defense.

The American farmer is orly Just
beginning to appreciate the value of
succulence in his cow feeds. It is just
beginning to dawn on him that this i'm
measurably increases the digestibility,
and therefore, the feeding value of ev-
erything his COWS eat
In Europe the farGaing population
has known and acted upon this prin-
ciple for many years, Rrrd over there
farmer who does acE have access to
the by-products O< distilleries and
sugar factories raises large quantities
of roots each year. These he feeds to
his animals and thereby adds from 80
to so per cent 90 3ae feeding value of
all the other feeds which his COWS
consume.
In America the progressive stock
farmer produces silage to supply the
bulk of his succulent feed, but there
are instances and conditions in this
country where a root crop can be
made very profitable.
Crop Helps in Tight Places.
Take our own case for example.
We have two silOS, one equal to IA
feet in diameter, the other one 16 feet
in diameter. In the fall after these
silos have been filled, the cows are
still getting considerable grass, but
not full feed, out in the pastures. To
supply this deficiency in an economical
way, they should be fed some kind Of
succulent feed In addition to the pas
ture. We have found that it does not
usually pay to feed out of the silO at
this time of the year, because the
COWS will not eat the silage as fast
as it needs to be taken out of the silo
to prevent spelling, hence we raise
roots, which can be fed in just the
quantities that are required be it much
or little.
We believe also that sheep will do
better on roots than they will on silage
and so we save out enough of them
to last our sheep through the winter. !
Another instance where it pays to
raise roots is in the case Of new set
tiers in northern Wisconsin. Ordinar-
lily One-fOurth to one-half of an acre
Of roots can be made to supply sue
culent feeds that will be required for
three or four cows and be the means
Of doubling their flow of milk through
the winter months. However, after a
settler has ten acres or more cleared,
he should still continue to grow some
roots, but he should depend upon sill
age to furnish the greater part of his
succulent feed.

Rutabaeas Are Best.

In an experimental way we nave
grown many varieties Of roots, includ-
Ing rutabagas, turnips, stock carrots,
and many kinds Of mangel-wurzels,
and have come to the conclusion that
for our purpose the rutabagas are the
most profitable to grow. First, be-
cause we can get better stand; sec
ond, because it is less work to care
for them, and third, because the guam
tity and quality Of feed secured from
given acre Of land is as great or
greater than with any other variety Of
roots.
Rutabagas will grow on any soil that
will grow corn or potatoes. AS with
other crops, so with roots, the better
the land as to fertility and filth the
greater the crop we have a right to
expect.
To grow q big crop Of roots, put
your land in the same condition that
you would to grow big crop Of corn
or potatoes. We have grown our ruta-
bagas at distances varying from two to
three feet apart in the row, and have
come to the conclusion that where the
land is in the best condition as much
feed can be grown at three feet as
closer together and with less work.
We thin out to about ten inches in
the row. If the soil is not in the best
condition, they may be planted closer
together, but on richer soil they must

Give Crop Early Start.

Rutabagas can be sown any time up
to the first Of July, and in northern
Wisconsin they will continue to grow
until stopped by cold weather. / be-
lieve the largest yield Is obtained by
sowing them early, say the goth OF
May, or whereabouts, as that gives
them q long time to grow.
The crop may be cultivated and
thinned out any time after the plants
are an inch or two above the ground.
After this they should be cultivated
and hand-hoed often enough to break
up q dust mulch and to keep down the
weeds. This cultivation will have I'd
be kept up only until the leaves are
large enough to completely shade the
ground, when the crop will usually
fake care of itself. In this way in an
ordinary season, rutabagas can be
made to yield 1000 bushels per acre
in the clay loan sections of northern
Wisconsin.
The past season it cost us about five
cents per bushel to grow and store
them away in root cellars.
Some people object to raising roots
because it requires too much work to
grow them. From the standpoint of
area. 1t does unquestionably take more
work to grow roots than other stock
feeds: not so, however, when taken
from the standpoint of value. We can
grow an acre of grain much cheaper
and with less labor than is required to
grow an acre of roots, but it costs
more to raise a given value of grain
products than 1t does the same value
Of roots.
