BOY SCOUT UNIFORMS SAFE.

Some worriment may have been oc-
casioned by articles recently appear
ing In the papers reporting a resOlu-
ton adopted by the American Assoc
citation of WOolens and WOrsted Manu-
facturers to the effect that future pro-
duction Of all khaki cloth should be
restricted to the governments order
and definitely naming the Boy Scouts
Of America as among those who would
suffer accordingly.
The alarm was largely groundless,
however, so far as scouts are con-
cerned since the resolution referred
entirely to the wooden olive-drab cloth
used for the winter army uniforms.
The regulation uniform of the Boy
Scouts of America which is worn by

scouts and leaders as WELLS not
wool, but made of special olive-drab
cotton cloth Of lighter weight than the
summer uniform which Is furnished to
the army.
For this reason and the further fact
that the Boy Scouts Of America uni
form Is specifically sanctioned in the
army reorganization law, it is unlike

SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council Of the
RoY Scouts of America
HOW THE SCOUT ADVANCES

Boy scouts are organized in patrols
and troops. Eight boys constitute
patrol, one being chosen as the patrol
leader. Three or four patrols make up
troop. The scOutmaster is the adult
leader of the troop.
Any boy Of any class or creed, over
twelve years of age, is eligible to be-
come scout. The initial requirements
are that he take the scout oath and
honor the scout law and know the sig
nificance of the badge and pass tests
in the history of the flag and in knot
tying. He is then tenderfOOt scout.
BY meeting certain requirements he
is in line to become a second class
scout and first class scout.
Scoutcraft includes instruction in
first aid, life saving, tracking, signal
ing, cycling, nature study, seamanship,
campcraft, woodcraft, chivalry and all
the handicrafts.

does away with the nuisance Of having
the loose material flying around. thus
annoying the IMAM in the silO, and also
lessons the danger of being struck by
some foreign object that may have
passed through the blower.
Add Water at Cutting Time.
Oftentimes the corn fodder is so
dry when it is cut that it is necessary
TO add water to make up for the de-
ficiency in moisture and provide for
the proper packing of the silo. This
water is most easily added to the
blower when the corn is being cut, and
it Is also more thoroughly mixed with
the cut material in this way.
For the top layer of the silo II is
good practice to use heavy green stalks
from which the ears have been re-
moved. This forms heavy layer that
packs well and at the same time con-
tains a smaller amount of food mate
rial so that the minimum loss is sus-
tanned if it spOils. Various methods
and materials have been used for COW
ering the top of the silage to prevent
its spelling. None has given complete
satisfaction, but the one mentioned
above has given as good results as
any, especially when the top layer
was thoroughly wet down and packed
firmly by tramping. The best prac-
tice is to commence feeding as soon
as the silO is filled, I'm which case
there will be no loss of silage through
decay.

GUARD STOCK FROM POIS0NS
In Many Instances Loss Of Cattle and
Sheep Could Have Been Pre-
vented by Precaution.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Many sheep and cattle are lost from
eating poisonous plants and other ma
terial. In many instances a little fore
sight on the part of the owner would
have prevented losses. To cite one
specific plant, most stockmen In the
eastern part of the country know that
laurel is poisonous. and yet they will
pasture their animals In a woodland
pasture In spite Of the fact that laurel
abOunds. Sometimes a few, at other
times many, animals are poisoned.
Other poisonous plants abound in
both the eastern pastures and the
western grazing lands, many Of which
are definitely known and easily recog-
nized. A little precaution through fenc-
ing and selecting pastures would ma
terially reduce the deaths due to plant
poisoning. Larkspur. lupine. water
hemlOck, darnel grass, wild cherry,
loco, white snake root, wilted sorghum
and oak brush (shinnery Oak) are the
more common plants which exact q
heavy toll.
Inorganic poisoning of farm stock is
also far from being Of rare occurrence.
Common salt is definitely known to be
very poisonous to hogs and chickens
in comparatively small quantities. Soap
powder in swill has been the cause Of
death Of swine. Antiseptic tablets and
rat poisOns also have caused deaths
among farm animals. Patent rat
oastes, and even fireworks, have been
eaten by fowls, which died later from
the effects Of phosphorus poisoning.

SAFE, GENTLE REMEDY
CLEANSES YOUR KIDNEYS

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache. pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
All these indicate some weakness of the
kidneys or other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.

what you need.

SILAGE FOR DAIRY ANIMALS
Summer Stock Feeds, Especially
In Winter.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The demands of the live stock for
the coming winter need to be antici-
pated in many parts of the country.
The silo provides safe storage for for
age that cannot be as effectively stored
in any other way. In addition, the
material stored in the silO is a more
acceptable feed, especially for dairy
animals. than the same feed prepared
in any other way. Silage is an almost
ideal substitute for the natural sum-
mer stock feeds. and is especially val
liable in the fall and winter because Of
its succulence and consequent health
fulness.

Cut corn for silage when the kernels
have passed the milk stage and are be-
ginning to dent. At this period the
greatest amount of food material can
be obtained and the best quality of
silage made
The cutter should be adjusted to cut
the corn in short lengths. with three
fOurths Of an inch as the maximum
length. In general the finer the fOd-
der is cut the more easily and more
compactly it can be packed and in
consequence the better the quality of
the silage.
Thorough Packing Necessary.
Too much stress cannot be laid upon
the necessity Of thoroughly packing
the fodder in the silo so as to exclude
the air as much as possible. 1t is
upon this one thing that the keeping
Of silage largely depends. A device
consisting of jOinted pipe, or some
variation of 1t, attached to the top
of the blower pipe is at present in
use for distributing the cut corn fod-
der in the silo. BY the use of this
distributor it is possible for one man
to scatter the cut corn evenly and at
the same time to tramp it. Without
the use of this device it is necessary
10 have at least one extra man in the
silo to fork the material over so that
1t is evenly packed. Besides the saw
ing Of one mans labor, the distributor
