Begistratkm tor tha Plattebarg camp,
where five aaaalona will be bald, has
reached A000, and tha committee la
confident the numbar of recruits will
be to tha neighborhood of 30,000. The
Plattaburg camp will be conducted by
tha dapartmant of tha East, U. 8. A.,
which also has charge of tha work at
Port Oglethorpe, Oa. The camp will
be open until August 3, three sessions
being bald. Thera are about 100 stu-
dents taking courses in tha present
session, and tha total enrollment for
tho three la estimated at more than
3,000.
The western department will have
charge of three camps. They will be
at Monterey, Cal.; 8al4 Lake City,
Utah, and American Lake, Wash. Ona
session will ha held at each of these
camps, tha dates being set as follows:
Monterey, July 10 to August 6; Salt
Lake City, August 31 to September 1$;
American Lake, August 14 to Septem-
ber 3. It la estimated that 11,000 men
will attend tha three camps. At Salt
Lake City ?,000 students have been
receiving Instructions from regular
army officers for more than a month.
Camps In Mlddls and Southwest.
Tha central dapartmant will con-
duct a camp at Fort Benjamin Harri-
son, Indianapolis, Ind., and tha south-
ern department ona at San Antonio,
Tax. Three sessions will ha held at
Port Benjamin Harrison, from July $
to October fi. Tha middle West la
now taking great Interest In tha camps.
Business men in Cleveland, Detroit
Chicago, Indianapolis and othar cities
are working with tha committees in
charge of enlistment and from present
Indications about 8,000 men will attend
tha sessions at Fort Harrison.
In view of present conditions along
tha border, tha southwest Is also tak-
ing much Interest in tha training camp
at San Antonio. Ona session, running
from Juna 13 to July 8, will be bald
there. It is predicted that at least
8,000 will enroll, with tha likelihood
of tha number reaching 5,000.
Plattaburg, tbs original training
camp, will be kept open until Octo-
ber A So great Is tha Interest taken
In the Plattaburg camp that many big
business houses and corporations are
allowing their employees to take a
month off with full pay if they enroll.
The same Offer Is being made by cor-
porations In most of the big cities of
the country. Men from every state
In the Union will attend the sessions
at Plattaburg.
Every student who attends a train-
ing camp will have to deposit $30 upon
his arrival. Of this $S Is a deposit
on government equipment to guard the
United States against damage which
may be done to Its property. The
other $25 Is to pay for the recruit's
board and lodging. The only other ex-
pense the recruit will have will be
911.10 tor his uniform, exclusive of
shoes, which will bring tbe cost of his
outfit to a Uttle more than $15.
Men May Win Commissions.
Transportation expenses will also
have to be paid by the recruit These,
with a few minor charges, will make
the cost of a month In the open ap-
proximately $60 per man.
The majority of the men enroUlng
tor work In the training camps are
college graduates or students, and
army officers map out the courses of
Instruction so as to prepare the stu-
dents for commissions In a volunteer
army In the event of war. So suc-
cessful was the Intensive method of
study at Plattaburg last year that
many army men hold the opinion that
those who took the course arc fairly
well equipped soldiers now.
The first training camps were held
In 1913 and were started by under-
graduates of the colleges. The move-
ment gradually grew until last year
the business and professional men’s
camp at Plattaburg was attended by
1,800 men. College men, professional

Two Camps for Juniors.
One of the camps at Plattaburg
will be for Juniors, youths from eight-
een to twenty-one. But the demand
for admittance to the junior camp by
those not yet eighteen has been so
greet that a subjunior camp is to be
opened for those between fifteen and
eighteen years
This camp la a subdivision of the
Plattaburg camps and will be run. on
exactly similar lines under the super-
vision of regular army officers. It la
to be held at Fort Terry, on Plum
island, near Green port, Long Island,
which Is a government coast artillery
post. Here on opportunity will be
given to learn tbe workings of the
heavy coast artillery, an opportunity
obviously not available at Plattaburg.
Although this Ftort Terry camp is
a recent development, already enroll-
ments have been received from the
following high schools: Montclair,
Glen Ridge, New Rochelle, Yonkers,
Englewood, Erasmus, Manual Train-
ing, Regis, Hartford, Dalton, Hughes,
and Mount Vernon and from such pri-
vate schools as LawrencevlUe, Vir-
ginia Military academy, St. Paul’s,
Andover, Newark academy, Polytech-
nic and Worcester academy. Apart
from the military work there will be
plenty of time at Fort Terry for recrea-
tion, and the facilities for baseball,
swimming and other sports are excel-
lent.
Expense to Juniors.
The expense at the Junior and sub-
junior camps, exclusive of transpor-
tation and the uniform, will be $31.50.
This sum covers board, camp expenses
and ammunition. The government
loans tents, cots, pillowA mattresses,
pouches, sweaters and ordnance as at
•the senior camps. About 2,000 boys
are expected to be at Fort Terry. The
course will extend from July 6 to Au-
gust 10.
Another camp for schoolboys will
also be held in this state. It will be
located at the Infantry School of Ap-
plication at PeeksklU and will be con-
ducted by National Guard officers.
High school boys are eligible to at-
tend. The camp will be open fron
August 9 to September 9, and boys can
spend the entire four weeks there or
take a two weeks’ course. Board will
be fifty cents a day per boy. About
2,000 boys will attend, It Is expected.
NEW NOSE EACH FIVE YEARS
Mexican Has Silver One That Has to
Be Replaced at Regular
Intervals.
St. Louis.—Does your nose ever
wear out and have to be replaced f
Here’s s man. Aurlllus Rico, a Mexi-
can. who has to have a new nose every
five years. It Is a silver nose, and not
quite so hard to replace. Rico has
bad a silver nose for 12 years, having
had to replace It twice during that
time.
Seventeen years ago. while resid-
ing In Mexico City. Rico developed a
very rare skin disease, and it became
necessary to remove hit nose. Three
operations of*skln grafting were tried.
Rico carried his arm bound to bis face
for 24 days at one time. Next four at-
tempts were made to give him a plas-
tic nose, and finally paraffin was
poured into the cavity in an effort to
make a bump there that would serve
i a nose.
At last Rico hit upon tho Idea of a
silver nose and purchased one. Belag
an artist, he found It simple to tint
the nose with Ink coloring so that It
can hardly be detected by one not “In

DUCK RAISING IS FLOURISHING INDUSTRY
PIve-Pen Breeding House for Ducks,
R. W. Curtiss of RansouivtUs, N. Y.,
who raises abont 30,000 docks a year
and makes big profits at tne business,
says it Is harder manual work to raise
ducks than chickens, and the business
requires patience and good Judg-
ment He selects eggs from thS
stronger birds and sets them In incu-
bators and broods them until they
are eight weeks old when they are
fattened for market
"Before these ducks are fattened
we sort out our breeding stock at the
age when the ducks are old enough
so that we can tell the sexes. I go,’’
says Mr. Curtiss, "through a large
number of ducks and perhaps I might
get five or ten fit to breed from out of
a large flock of one hundred. That
seems like a lot of work. Every time
you change-the feed the ducks won’t
eat and if you change gradually they
will probably be off their feed for two
days; and just at that time we sort
out the breeding stock, and 4t is just
at the time we change the feed so
that we do not lose anything.
"We handle the ducks by the neck;
we never take them by the legs. We
hold the duck up and look at him, and
If he has a good broad breast all the
way through and fairly deep keel, and
brood back, and not too long a neck,
and his head not too long, and if he
fights a great deal and tries to get
away, showing he Is strong, then we
will pick out that duck. He has got
to be a certain weight; we do not
actually weigh them because that is
too much trouble.
“We take the ducks out in May and
they are taken out in flocks of two
hundred. We start and drive these
ducks over to the pasture and in driv-
ing them we will say that we have
two hundred and ten or two hundred
and fifteen.
“We keep them In a large wood lot.
We take lots of time driving them
along, not too alow and not so slow
as you would drive market ducks. We
keep them moving and when we get
them half way over two or three of
them will break down and flap their
wings, and they cannot walk. These
House for Growing Dueke.
ducks are left right where they are.
It to simply the survival of the fittest,
and when we get to the breeding pens
there will be ducks strung all the way
along where we have been driving
them. It 1s only the ducks that have
strength to walk this distance, being
urged all the time, that are put in
the pen. Then we go back and clean
up the ones that are left and they are
put into the marketing pen. It does
not matter how nice a duck they are,
because It is strength we are after.
"We put one hundred to two hun-
dred ducks in S pen, and there is no
shed or anythingifor them to run un-
der. It Is just simply a wood lot It
would be Just as well to have them
run in a field, provided they had some
artificial shade, but decidedly you have
got to have some shade for ducks. If
you put ducks ih a hot field in tbe
summertime there is danger. I have
seen full-grown ducks' get sunstruck
and lie down and die.
“We feed them there for five months
on light food. We do not want to fat-
ton them. If there are any ducks that
get off their feed they are taken right
off; they are not kept We keep lan-
terns burning In the trees on dark
nights to keep them from getting
scared.
“A peculiar thing about ducks Is
that they will run and trample on
each other and Jump In the corner of
tbe peas If they get scared on a dark
night If it to a bright moonlight
night we do not light the lanterns.
"Tbe toed tor these ducks to tour

one part commaal and ooe-tweutieth

four porta clover. Tho clover should

they pteh the green toed out sad leave
nothing hat tho mnsh, end the* yon
know they haven't enough groan food.
“Wo toed them wot mash; mam Urn
do they will get In good condition.
They are not to be starved, but you
must keep them Just a Uttle hungry,
and. they will go out in this one or
two acres of land and eat more or
less green feed, and they will run up
and down the pen and It will give them
muscle.
"We keep them In this manner until
they are five months old, and then we
change and put them In permanent
quarters. Most any kind of a build-.
lng will do for d duck house. It does
not require very much light, but if
you want eggs all the winter you must
bavo It warm enough so that the eggs
won’t get chilled. If you go through
pretty often and take up the eggs they
will not get chilled.
"We do not have any nests in our
duck houses; we simply bed them
with shavings. We did try nests, but
we could not see any great benefit
from them. They will dig a hole
in tbe corner and lay the egg and
cover it np and when you go through
In the morning you have to be careful
that you do not walk on the eggs.
"We breed from a pullet, we never
breed from a yearling duck. A duck
will take on fat very easily, and If you
keep them over the second year they
get too fat, and they will not lay aa
early, c.nd tbe eggs are not fertile, and
we cannot get good results.
"We mate one drake and five ducks.
We start these in October, and as the
season advances, say about the first of
March, we watch the ducks, and If
we see two drakes get to fighting,
we catch one of them; we catch the
poorest and put him in a pen by him-
self. Whenever we see any fighting,
we take out a drake, and when there
is no fighting, we leave them alone,
and they balance themselves up.
“Sometimes you will find they will
run for a long time and there will be
no fighting; then, there will come a
rain storm, and there will be puddles
of water in the yard, and if you go
out you will find dozens of them fight-
ing, and they will tear each other to
pieces. They will get the blood
started and your five drakes will get
after one and fairly eat him. 1 have
seen It when we would not have more
than one drake to ten or twelve ducks,
and we would get just as good eggs
as we got In the winter."
RAISING FEED FOR THE FLOCK
Farm That Products Its Own Grain Is
Always Most Successful—Oper-
ating Expense Reduced.
"The poultry farm that produces its
own feed or a goodly part of it is al-
ways |the most successful,” according
to William H. Pfeifer of Allenton, Mo.,
“because the feed is always right at
hand when needed, no drayage, no
waste, the range birds seeing to the
latter.
“The shattered grain does not go to
feed sparrows, crows, etc., but pro-
duces chicken-meat and eggs. The
droppings go back to the fields as
fertilizer and the operating expense or
upkeep Is greatly reduced.
“Such a farm has a great advantage
over the one that has to buy all Its
feed, hauling It over miles of rough
country roads, paying dearly for the
time wasted in drayage and extra ban
dling. This in itself is Important evi
dence of why the farmer can product
cheaper poultry and eggs than the
poultryman. Those who after serious
consideration decide to go Into ths
business should bear this advice Is
mind.”

AUTHORITY OlVIt tOMK ADVICE
ON THI SUBJECT.
List of “Do’s" and “Dents" That
Should B# Observed by tho One
Who Is Framing a Testament—
—Have Bast Legal Advice.
In tbe American Msgssins Charles
8. Cutting, who is one of America’s
.foremost authorities on probate law,
and for many years was judge of the
probate court in Chicago, gives tho
following directions for making s safe
will that can’t be broken:
"Do’s—1. Before yon consult any-
body, decidd'how you propose to leave
your property.
"8. If the disposition to be made
Is simple, any ordinary skilled person
can draw your will.
“3. If your will Is complicated, In-
cluding trusts, life estates, etc., em-
ploy the most skilled draftsman with-
in your acquaintance.
"4. Do as your legal adviser tell!
you as to matters concerning which
there may be doubt
"6. Be sure to comply with all for-
malities required by the statute, espe-
cially the following:
"6. Subscribe your name to the will
In the presence of witnesses.
“7. Declare It to be your will In
their presence.
"8. Have at least two witnesses sign
In your presence.
"9. If you sign by mark, or for any
reason are unable to write your name,
have at least three witnesses to the
tac^ of your signing by mark or that
you requested some other person to
write your name.
"10. Ask people who have long
known you and who have no doubt as
to your sanity to be witnesses to your
will.
”11. Place your will in the custody
of some perfectly responsible person
or corporation, or in some receptacle,
«s a safety deposit vault, which cannot
be opened after your death without
the presence of public officials.
"12: Remember that any- provision
you make for your wife is an offer to
her to purchase from her her statutory
rights, and that if she chooses she
may reject your offer and take advan-
tage of her rights under the statute."
"Don’ts—1. Don’t put off making a
will until you are ill an<^ your disin-
herited relatives will say that 'your
mind is affected.
“Don’t believe that making your will q
will hasten your death. ''
”3. In states where the statutes give
a widow dower-only in her husband’s
real estate, don’t get the idea that she
will be the owner in fee of one-third
of his realty.
"4. Don’t attempt to tie up your es-
tate for a long period, providing for
ultimate distribution la the distant fu-
ture. Courts are very apt to find ways
to construe such a will contrary to
your intention.
“5. Don’t let your will be the vehicle
of conveying to posterity your hatred
or dislike of Individuals.
"6. If you are wealthy and have pro-
vided well for your family, don’t forget
the obligation yon owe to the commu-
nity In which you have acquired your
fortune.
“7. Don’t attempt to change your
will, after it Is written and witnessed,
by drawing lines across certain por-
tions of It and writing In other direc-
tions. Such attempts will fail.
“8. Don’t make a nonresident of
your state executor of your will Many
states will not permit him to act
“9. Don’t have the man you select-
ed as executor sign as a witness. It
may disqualify him.
“10. Don’t allow any legatee or de-
visee In your will to sign as a witness.
If he does, he may lose his legacy or
devise.
“11. If you wish to add a codicil to
your will, don’t fail to have the codi-
cil refer unmistakably to the will and
to attach the codicil thereto physically.
“12. Don’t hesitate to change your
will by codicil or otherwise whenever
you see fit."
