Tho only action tnken by tho Joint commission of legislators and stnto officer? was to ngreo that a recom mendation will be mado to tho coming legislature on what should bo done, together with u statement of tho prob able coat of rebuilding tho wing nnd repnlring tho stnto bouse throughout.

Athletic Contests at Camp Every effort Is being mndo to keep tho National guardsmen along the bor der In good splrltn. This, of course, Is highly essential to tho welfnro of tho organizations.

A Matter of Conjecture, Members of the Fourth nnd Fifth Nebraskn regiments hnvo been given 100 rounds of ammunition. Just what this means Is n matter of conjecture. Some say thnt It means that target practice on tho mngo will commonco shortly Others say that the raids fifty tulles west, where hoi so hnvo been stolon, are responsible for tho action of the commanding olllcers. No orders havo been given out by (len eral Lnwis, commander here, nnd tho boys are wondering what Is to hap pen. Border Work, a little piper giving the news of the nimy Y. M. C.

The army and navy department hns nnnounced that nt least $.100,000 will bo required for Its work In the camps of tho troops on Iho Mexican bordor.

PIGS ON OAT AND (From the United States Dnpartment of Agriculture ) Tho cost of pork Is reduced material ly by the use of pasture nnd forage crops, but It is desirable to feed grain or other concentrated feed In addition. In Home sections of the country where pastures nro luxuriant, mature hogs lire maintained In nn apparently satis factory condition on pasture- alone. This prnctlce should not be followed, however, In tho case of young, grow ing pigs, because they will become thin In llenh and stunted If compelled to live on pasture alone. Hog raisers differ widely regarding the (mautity of grain that should he fed to hogs while on pasture. Some feeders give them all they will con sume. Others feed u ration ee,ual to nbout 2 to II per cent of the live weight of the hog. Still others will allow pigs to run on pasture nnd feed them u 1 per cent grain ration. There Is no fixed rule governing the supplemental grain ration which should be fed In combina tion with forage. The amount of grain fed depends upon the kind of pasture used, tho price of grain, tint the mar ket. Pnsture fornge litis n vnrlnhle com position. Alfalfa, clover, etch, and peas furnish feed much ilcher In pro tein than most other crops. Where GETTING STAND OF ALFALFA Use Seed Which Is Pure and of Good Vitality Thick Stand Will Keep Out Weeds. The amount of seed to sow per ncre Is variously estimated ut from 8 to 20 pounds. It Is well to have u rather thick stand the first year, as some of the plants are practically certain to Alfalfa Plant, Four Years Old. die, and with u thin stand the stems are coarser and not so palatable, but 10 to 12 pounds of seed per acre is enough to sow. A small amount of seed which Is pure und of good vitality Is better than a larger quantity of seed of lower grade. One ndvnntage of u thick stand Is to prevent the weeds getting u foothold. In parts of Kansas, four plants per square foot Is considered the best ra tio; In Ohio, one every four Inches Is more common. The seed may be drilled or sown broadcast and disked or harrowed In. In broadcasting, many people favor sowing one-hnlf the seed In one di rect Ion and the remainder tit right angles to the llrst sowing. This Is be lieved to give ii more even distribu tion. Disking before plowing helps make a linn seed bed. Sometimes It Is posslblo to get n stand by sowing a few pounds of al falfa seed with red clover. Then plow up the clover and seed to al falfa. The soil will contain enough bac teria to make a good catch fairly cer tain. FEEDING SILAGE TO CALVES In Absence of Other Nutritious Feeds It May Serve as Substitute Avoid Coarse Parts. Value ot corn silage for young cahes Is an unsettled question. In the ab sence nt other and more nutritious feeds. It niitv scrw ns n L'ood substi tute. It should never he fed extensive- ly, and care should be exercised to prevent the feeding ot coarse parts. aSBnV4 Jnm i PEA FORAGE. hogs are feeding on leguminous pas ture they require less concentrated feed than when grazing upon nonlu gumlnnus pasture such its timothy, or chard grass, Hermuda, or bluegrusa. In the early stages of growth the ce renls may be classed as nitrogenous forages. A farmer may hnve more hogs than his pasture will accommo date. When this Is the case, the pas ture will Inst longer If a full grain ra tion Is fed. The more grain a hog con sumes, the less forage ho will eat. When grain Is high, it Is rather ex pensive to feed u .supplemental grain ration. At such times there Is u great temptation to place the hogs upon pas. ture alone. This practice will hardly ever pay, for it generally takes more grain and more time to finish off the hugs tluin If they had been fed a lib eral ration while on pasture. The amount of grain used will also depend upon the length of time the feeder has In which to fit the hogs for market. Hogs that are marketed from ten to twelvo months old are usuully maintained on pasture alone during the grazing season. If any grain Is given at all It Is very light. In this way the gi eater percentage of growth Is made from the cheaply grown for age. Where rapid finishing Is desired, the liberal use of grain Is Important. WARM WEATHER AND HORSES Sunstroke Caused by Sun's Rays Fall ing Directly on Skull Heat Exhaustion Similar. (Uy PltOF. CVTOOLE. North Dakotn Experiment Htatlon.) Sunstroke Is caused by the direct rays of the sun falling upon the skull. A horse so nffected niuy die suddenly as though stricken with apoplexy or he may have n gradnal paralysis of respiration. The symptoms which usually present themselves nro rest lessness, pawing, spasms and u marked redness of tho mucous membranes lin ing the cnvltles of the head. The temperature In sunstroke may not rise above normal during the whole course of the disease. Another condition very similar to sunstroke is thnt known us heat stroke or heat exhaustion. This Is brought about by overexertion and Insufficient heat elimination. The direct ruH of the sun are not responsible for this affection, which very often occurs to an ii ill iti nl on a cloudy, sultry day. Some of the more prominent sjmptoms of heat stroke are weariness, profuse sweating, dltlleult breathing, nn ex tremely high temperature, and n rapid pulse, which gradually grows weaker nnd upon the approach of death mus cular tremors will be noted. The treat ment for sunstroke and heatstroke are the same. Remove the iinlmal to a cool, quiet, well-ventilated place, and permit n stream of cold water to flow over the horse and If possible npplyi Ice packs to the head. If ice It plentiful apply It ull over the body. TO DESTROY INJURIOUS MICE Enemies Have Been Killed Off and Little Rodents Have Increased Quite Rapidly. How to destroy Injurious mice Is n (llfllcult question. The owl und the hawk are the natural enemies of mice ns Is the cat, and to some extent the dog, the weasel, the mink, the otter und tho heaver perhaps, but these suspected enemies of the mice have been Killed ofT. Thero are few of them remaining, thus mice have Increased rapidly nnd It seems necessary to em ploy strychnine, which may be mixed dry or otherwise with crushed grain or whole grain, wheat or oats. How to phice this deadly poison within reach of mice without destroying other useful creatures Is n question dlfllcult to decide, SELLING DIRCCT FROM FIELD i I Farmers Favor That Plan With Cab j bages, Letting Dealers Stand Risk of Storage. Mint farmers prefer to sell their cabbage direct from the Held, prefer ring that the dealers stand the risk of storage; this Is probably the better plan. Where It Is desired to store cab bage fur home use, or even for sale later, one of the many plans In use Is that of trenching. A shallow trench Is dug and the cabbage laid In It head down, and then covered with soil. Straw, litter, and itmnuro tire placed over this to prevent ueep i reeling, Storing In n warm, dump cellar rulufi ' the tlavor of cabbage. PORK PRODUCTION E RELEASE OF 15,000 TROOPS NOW ON BORDER.
