Be sure to attend the Short Courso
at Dakota City, January 7th to 10th.
The men will meet at the Court
House and the women at the School
building. Good programs.
The Farm Accounting meeting at
Hubbard was well attended. Cold,
stormy days prevented n good at
tendance at Jackson anil Homer.
Hog cholera was found during the
past week in the John Labahn herd.
These were promptly vaccinated.
The Nebraska State Milk Produc
ers' association will meet at Hotel
Castle, Omaha, January 8th. Good
speakers will address the meeting.
Everyone is invited.
Now is the time to plan for the
setting of a -new orchard. Most of
the orchards in the county are fast
dying, due very largely to having been
set much too close together; which
has given diseases of all kinds a bet
ter chance to get in their ruinous
work, hence causing a premature
death. We are not advocating the
planting of large orchards, but a
sufficient number of trees to insure a
bounteous supply for family use at
all seasons of the year. Be sure that
you are uuying from a reliable nurse
ryman and are getting some good
winter varieties ns well ns nlnnt.v nf
summer and fall. We will be glad
to give any assistance possible.

in the out of the way places, the
Commission publishes u little ser
monette and sends it out by mail.
It consists of bible reading, prayers
jind a short devotional reading. The
pastor has received several of these
to show what has been done in 'this
line.
For this work there has been re
ceived to September 30, 1018, the
sum of $l,2M,3(il.G0 from all sources.
The expenditures have been $408,
773,53, with a balance on hand of
$715,590.70.
There are 81 chaplains from the
Lutheran church in the army and 21
of them arc in France. Congress has
authorised three chaplains to a regi
ment of 3G0O men, but they are not
to be had. These chaplains are giv
en by the commission for their equip
ment: motorcycle with side car,
Corona typewriter in case, field com
munion set, pocket communion sv',
as many service books as are request
ed, testaments, catechisms, and the
'like as requested, free stationary for
self and men, and $100 which the
chaplain is expected to spend for the
men in case of heed and sickness.
The motorcycle is necessary when we
understand the distance these men
have to travel and the letters they
write for the boys makes the type
writer also a necessity.
As to the camp pastors, they "are
the only direct representatives of the
denominations in the camp." At one
time there were about 500 of them
in the camps, and about 150 have
been employed by tho Nntional Lu
theran Commission. To these there
have been furnished 23 autas, and up
keep and running expenses of some
that are the property ol the pastors;
they havb all been furnished their
uniforms, stationery and necessary
advertising matter. In the west
there has been a monthly allowance
to them as follows: $100 salary and
support of the cam) pastor's family,
5b lor House rent, i?05 lor general
expenses. In tho east it is $150 flat
and an expense allowance agreed up
on. Total camps served, 111, and
many detachments havo been visited
by neighboring pastors, and every ef
fort has been made to make our boys
feel that their church was with them.
There is no way of telling how many
boys have been served in the camps.
A good deal of the evangelical work
has been of a very personal charac
ter. "Thousands have definitely
promised to render personal service
for Christ. The pastor has received
the card of one of our local boys
through tho Y. M. C. A. stating he
has accepted Christ as his Saviour.
Our pastors have always taken part
in all the protestant services that
ha 'c been held in the camps. Some
times they have been able to arrange
a regular Lutheran service. Siomo of
the pastors try to write a letter to
the parents of as many boys as they
minister to, liiey all preach not
less than twice on Sundays and some
timoj as high as eight times. Serv
ices in the barracks havo good re
sults in the way of decisions for
Christ, and the work in the hospi
tals and with the men in quarantine
has had bettor results. Besides this
these 7iasors havo done a good deal
of work in local churches in getting
these churches on .. more helpful ba
sis to the men in tin. nrmy and navy.
To show they are i al busy we
quote from several letters and re
ports. "I worked throe- nights till
early in tho morning. Last Sunday
I came home at (1:30, slept throe
hours and went to work again. The
other brethren did the same." "I
have been working from fifteen to
eighteen hours every day. Within
tho last week I have stayed by the
bedside of over forty dying men and
offered tho only comfort in death,
Chiist, the living Saviour. I have
had devotions with as many men as
i)os-,il)le, around 100 dally." Tho
hospital is crowded with patients nil
the time. There is but one chanlain
in tho camp at present, and he is.
tied down with other duties. Wo
were unsigned to all the serious
ease-. We have boon on the job ever
since, visiting the sick and dying, and
ministering to thorn. Spond the en
tire day at the hospital and never
leave till midnight,"
This pastoral work has been takon
to France. At first it was found
i
impossible, but. who he French Lu
therans heard of the Lutheran Com
i mission they sent requests for work
ers and the French government was
induced to recognize the work, and
, I I...1. !..
we now have some helpers in that
work. There are 13 French Lutheran
churches in Paris alone, that are ad
vertising English services for the
benefit of Anierjcan soldiers.

Tankage Profitable Protein
Inquiries are being received by the

ajfo can be fed with profit, especially
wliero no other protein supplement,
such as skim milk, buttermilk, or
shorts, is available. Tankngo not
only increases tho rate of gain but
likewise decroases tho amount of
corn necessary to produco a pound
of gain, and decroasos it enough to
more than olfset tho additional cost
of tankage will save four pounds of
corn. In a tost conducted by the
Experiment Station last year, a ra
