He believes that in return for what
he is giving his sons SO freely they
will repay in kind-as good citizens

tenders if ever war threatens him.
Elaborate preparations have been
made to make this years camps more
attractive than have been the popular
encampments for the past eight years.
These camps offer no vacation in the
sense of purposeless squandering of
time in idle pursuits or useless diver
siOns, such as Indifferent youth may
fancy. The camp schedule is not ar
duous, but for every hour there is
definite aim and occupation. Military
drill fills the mornings with short in
tervals for rest and for the ever-wel-
come milk period, wisely ordained for
those still fast-growing youths. Aft
ernoons are devoted to wide variety
of sports and games, in one or more
of which each candidate must take his
part.
In the daily program he finds
means to greater. physical vigor and
control. Military drill brings proper
carriage, quickness of response and
exact coordination of nerve and
muscle. Mass calisthenics emphasize
these qualities through rhythmic move
ment. Adequate, varied, nutritious and
appetizing diet for thirty days con-
tribute its share to a bodily growth,
measured by inches of height and
chest expansion and many pounds of
weight. Regular hours establish
proper habit of life. Systematic medi-
cal inspection wards off any danger
of undue exertion and it is supple
mented by hospital care in case of
need.

Grinding Feed Does Not
Increase Digestibility

For feeding dairy cattle. the grind
ing of roughage will not increase
its digestibility nor its value as y feed.
Grinding coarse feeds may reduce
waste by eliminating the coarse parts
OF the feed and may make the feed
more palatable. When feed is high in
price, grinding may prove advan-
tageous. Grinding coarse feed will not
make the feed into concentrated
feed. Neither will grinding dry,
coarse roughage make the, feed as
good as when put in the silo.

busters Satisfactory in
Fields for Killing BUGS

Busters are fairly satisfactory in po-
tato fields, for killing bugs. However,
under most Nebraska conditions they
are not nearly as satisfactory as they
are in regions farther east. To he
used most advantageously the dust
should be put on when the plants are
damp with dew and when there is
little wind. 1t is not at all advisable
to try to use a buster on windy day.
Consequently It is very desirable to
dust the plants in the early portion
of the day before the wind comes up.

Supply narrowing Pens
With Needful Tenders

Every narrowing pen should be sup
piled with tenders to protect the lit
tie pigs during and after narrowing.
These consist of 2 by s inch planks
fastened as shelves about eight inches
from the floor, along both sides of
the corner in which the sow makes
her bed. This largely prevents the
sow from squeezing the pigs against
the wall or lying on them while they
are small. If the narrowing pen has
a concrete floor, a board overlap in
