The West Vir ginia sailor says this is just the kind of training which makes a good soldier or sailor. He says: "Let us recall the training we were receiving from the agricultural clubs along four great paths: First, the head. which must of necessity be well filled with gray matter that will cause a re cruit to be obedient and respect dis cipline; second, the hands, which are governed by the mind and do so much in military conflict; third, the heart, which must be clean and strong to make a soldier determined and un flinching; and, fourth, the health, which plays a very important part in making men efficient." All of these are qualities which go to make up a good military man. Also, the writer pays tribute to the club members in his state who have been so busy helping in the great job of food production at a time when the farms of the country are short of' labor. "They have met the situation square ly," he writes, "and victory is ours, with them as a dominant factor in hel:ing to secure it." GREEN MANURE CROPS The New Jersey experiment station calculates that two crops of green manure contain as much phosphoric acid and pot ash and nearly as much nitro gen a! 20 tons of stable manure. x Rye, soy beans and clovers ate Z crops most often used. In the gardening section of the state rye is planted as a cover crop as soon as potatoes and early vegetables are out of the way. This is plowed under and takes $ the place of some of the barn yard manure that was formerly. hauled. CLEANING UP SWAMP LANDS Undesirable Growth Should Be Burned When Ground Ia Wet to Pre serve Plant Food. (From the United States Department of Agriculture.) Growth which Is to be cleaned up on swamp land or any soil containing a large amount of organic matter should be burned when the ground is wet, to prevent the destruction of valuable plant food. When soils do not con tain a large amount of organic matter and it Is the Intention to seed in the ashes Immediately after the burning. too much emphassl cannot be placed upon thq Importance of getting a clean burn.

Ht ifers which aire not due to freshen until three or four weeks after arrival at destilnation make good "buys," as they are of a size and condition which permits of loading the car to capacity. Furthermore, immature animals are less susceptible to injury in transit and to damage as a result of a marked change of environment. If possible, only animals without horns should be shipped; and in case any horned ani mals have to be moved, they should be tied securely or penned apart in one end of the car to preclude the possi bility of, their injuring other animals during the Journey. Similarly, where bulls are shipped in mixed loads, these sires should be con fined apart from the other cattle. Oth er conditions being equal, it is advisa ble to load about fourteen mature cows in a 38 or 40-foot car. A practical ar rangement is to tie four cows in each end of the car facing the end walls, and then rough partitions can be installed so that two other rows of three cows each face a center alleyway between the car doors where the attendant can stay and extra feed and water be car ried.. This arrangement is more com fortable for the cows as they ride, and 4 a" Dairy Cows Should Be Dry, If Possi ble, When They Are Moved Over Railroad. absorbs the shock and jar better, while it is also simpler for the caretaker to feed the cows and clean out the car en route. As far as possible, the stock should be shipped during cold weather, advise the authorities of the United States de partment of agriculture, as cows han died during hot weather are liable to shirk appreciably in milk flow during the successive lactation period. Spe cial precaution must be exercised In shipping cows during cold weather, to avoid exposure which will favor the contraction of pneumonia, usually a fa tal disease among mature cow stuff. At best it takes an animal about a year to become thoroughly acclimated to a warmer or colder climate than that to which it has been accustomed, and on this acount, the movement should take place at a time of year when the temperature of the two points is as nearly equable as possible. RAISE BEST DAIRY HEIFERS Good Calves Should Be Kept to insure Quantity of Products Demanded at Present. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The war has greatly increased the demand for dairy products and it is also Important that they be produced economically. In ordea that the quan tity of dairy proaucts may be large and the production economical, more and better cows are needed. The rais ing of all the best heifer calves wil provide cows enough to permit tht mcaling out of all low producers.

UNITE IN THRESHING GRAIN Splendid Example of Efficient Co-Op. eration Is Reported From Con necticut Community. (Prepared by the I nited States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The farm bureau in Columbia coun ty, Connecticut, discovered through its agricultural survey last March that the spring planting of small grains would be greater than usual, but it was found also that the town of Columbia owned no threshing machine. At a meeting of farmers called by the county agent a committee was appointed to induce, if possible, a man to buy a threshing machine and do the work. A man was found. He bought a new machine and declared himself ready to begin. The farmers agreed to let him thresh all their grain at 7 cents a bushel, the farjners furnishing power. The ma chine followed an itinerary mapped out by the farmers' committee, instead of visiting farms at random, as has been the custom in that state. Grain was threshed much more quickly and at a cost much less than heretofore. This plan Is thought to be a good ex ample of efficient co-operation.
