Gun School and Infantry
School Of Arms.

Nashville.-The United States gov
eminent has decided to establish in
the south two additional camps to be
the location for two military schools,
one an infantry school of arms and
the other machine gun school. Gov,
Rye has received communication
from Gen. Wood, in command OF the
Southeastern department, asking him
to supply him with information In re-
gard to any site in Tennessee which
may appear to approach the conditions.
With Gen. Woods letter to Gov Rye
came the communication from the war
department to Gen. Wood outlining
the plans and stating what kind CT
tract was desired. Gov. Rye at once
placed the matter before the state
geologist, the commissioner Of agri-
culture and the adjutant general, re-
Cuesting that immediate steps be TAX
en- to see If the state has a site ap-
preaching the desire of the govern
nent.
The sites for these schools are to
be from Is to 20 square miles, and of
varied topography, including hills and
valleys, streams, meadows and wood
land, and must be free of habitation
that would interfere with rifle and
gun practice. 1t is to be convenient
to good sized city and easily Access
sible by railroad Offers must be re-
ceived by Sept. &c.

ways Are Main Channels Run
ming Through Country.

Roads upon which traffic is heaviest
start from different sections Of the
country or township and come togeth-
erat the main market place. In drain
age terms, which every farmer will
understand, those main market roads
are the main channels running through
the county or township. They start,
traverse, and end according to the
natural laws of trade gravitation, and,
as in drainage development, these traf-
&c streams are enlarged and improved
economically only as their lines Of de-
scent toward the market place are fol-
lowed. TO build outside Of these lines
for heavy traffic where heavy traffic
does not exist is false economy, a
waste Of time and money.

Development Beef and Milk
Producing Cattle.

6From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
The SOuth's battle against the tick
must not lag. 1t Is not work which
may be dropped during the course Of
war, the United States department Of
agriculture points out. Rather 1t must
be pushed the more vigorously, In or
der that territory may be rescued from
the unsatisfactory and often unproft-
able cattle raising which the tick inn
poses and devoted to the more efficient
and more profitable production of
meat and milk which may be carried
on in unquarantined territory.
Faced by the war demand for more
meat, let us take advantage OF an
opportunity which lies close to hand.
Let us recognize that 1t Is our definite
duty to turn our abundant grasses, our
cheap and available concentrated
feeds, and our mild climate to good
milk and butter. And let us realize
that to do this we must work togeth-
4er to remove the great obstacle-the
tick.
Not only will the elimination Of the
tick make possible the greater and
more profitable development of our ma
tive cattle; 1t will make possible also
the bringing in Of better beef and
milk-producing stock, which now can
not live under the attacks Of ticks and
the deadly germs of cattle fever which
they transmit. determination Of the
tick, therefore, will give us quick, d.
rect returns In the form Of Increased
growth of native stock, and it will at
the same time lay a firm foundation
for the building up of much more
profitable cattle-raising industry in a
year or two-while the war still may
be in progress.
The tick works for our enemies by
keeping down the supply of three of
our most important foods. Let us
recognize this pest, therefore, as an
enemy also. And let us wage against
him from today on, without Interrupt
ton. war Of determination,

light feeds of common or homegrown
grains.
Geese do not need shelter except
during cold winter weather when open
sheds may be provided. GOslings are
not usually Matched until good pasture
Is available, and need additional feed
only for few weeks. The range Of
pasture used either for gOslings or for
geese should be large enough so that
the grass will remain clean, or the
stock should be moved frequently to
fresh land. Coops, barrels, or some 9TH

the young goslings. Geese are very
hardy and free from diseases and In

RICHEST PLACE FOR GARDEN
on Too Many Farms Soil Is Never
Rich Enough to Grow Finest
Quality Of Vegetables.

"Rotate the garden crops but not the
garden spot" Is the good advice given
nv Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon. On too
many farms the garden is never in the
same place more than two years In sue
cession, with the result that the land
Is never made rich enough to grow
really fine vegetables. Gardening is
an intensive form Of agriculture, q
form requiring much hand labor In
nroportion to acreage, and for this rea-
son the garden should always be the
richest spot on the farm. Keep 1t In
the same place with q good fence
around It and make It as rich as pos

Geese can be raised in small focks

FIGHT AGAINST TICKS COLT DURING FIRST SUMMER
Care He Receives Determines to Large
Degree His Efficiency When
He is Matured.

The colt is the work horse Of to-
morrow and the care he receives dur
ing his first summer determines to a
large degree his efficiency when ma
ture, according to DR.. @. w. McCamp-
bell, associate professor of animal hus-
bandry In the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
II is during the first summer that
the colt Is most subject to scours. This
disease can easily be checked if treat
ed Immediately, but If allowed to run
its course 1t may prove serious and
even fatal.
The colt should never be allowed to
suck while the mare is warm and
sweaty as the milk at this time Is apt
to cause scours. If the mare has gone
for some time without sucking her
colt she should be partially MIXED by
hand before the colt is allowed to feed.
Oyerheatlng or excitement on the part
Of the mare Is likely to cause digestive
disorders In the colt and anything that
interferes with his normal growth at
this time detracts from his size at ma
turity.
Don't take the colt to the field and
wear him out following his mother, but
keep him in the barn in well venti-
lated box stall that has been darkened
to protect him from the flies. Feed
him literally and in case he does get
the scours cut his milk and feed In
half and give him a two ounce dose Of
castor oil followed by teaspoonful
twice daily Of a mixture Of one part
salol and two parts subnitrate of bis
muth.

A person absolutely without sleep

1t has been proved that they actually
