Some young men know what they want and plan for it. Others are
still looking for their niche. The new Regular Army can help both.
Perhaps you want to go to college but can’t afford it. If you
•enlist in the Army, you’ll get your chance. Honorably discharged
after a three-year enlistment, you are eligible for 48 months of edu
■cation at any college, trade, or business school for which ydu can
qualify. The Government will pay your tuition, laboratory fees,
etc., up to $5OO per ordinary school year, plus $65 a month living
allowance—s9o a month if you have dependents.
If you haven’t found your spot, an Army enlistment offers you
training in any of 200 trades and skills. You leave the service eligible
for further training at the best civilian schools.
You can assure yourself of the benefits of the G1 BUI of
Rights if you enter the Army on or before October 5, 1946.
See your nearest Army Recruiting Station for details.

Economical Milking
Parlor for Farm
*
Saving in Capital
And Labor Costs
Economy, both in initial cost and
j labor, is the chief attribute of the
! pen-type dairy bam with attached
' milking parlor used by many dairy
! men. It is particularly advan
-1 tageous when adding to’ the size
jof the herd. The cows are allowed
| to run loose in the barn and are
1 milked and fed in an adjoining lean
to milking panlor.
The total cost for materials of the
lean-to shown in the sketch would
be approximately $9OO, including a
fire-resistant asphalt roll roofing
and gypsum exterior walls. This
will permit the farrqer to qualify
for producing Grade A milk.
1 The six-stall t parlor is large
j enough for a 30-cow herd. It does
I increase the amount of bedding
j needed by nearly 50 per cent. This
results in a corresponding increase
[ in manure value.
One of the main advantages of
: this type construction is that the
| herd may be added to without ex
i pense of new stanchions.

Farm Safety Week to
Stop Accident Gains
Making life on the farm safer for
children and adults is the basic aim
of Farm Safety Week. President
Truman, in proclaiming the week,
July 21 to 27, suggested "that the
'M:
Proper confinement (or the bull
may save lives.
(arm people of the country observe
the week by resolving to eliminate
at least one hazard a day until their
farms are as safe as they can pos
sibly make them.”
Open wells, improperly fenced
dangerous animals, ladders, danger
ous parts of machinery unprotect
ed, cluttered barnyards, all take
| toll of thousands of farm children
and adults annually. _
Grit and Shell Box
An easy to build grit and shell
box (or the laying house may be
made of box lumber but should be
strong enough so that it can be
nailed to the side of the house, six
inches above the litter.
Concrete Measuring
Box for Measuring Concrete
Materials.
A box (or measuring sand and
gravel is shown in the illustration.
For a 1:3:5 mixture the frame
should measure inside 4 feet seven
inches, 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep.
On the Inside and 33 inches from
one end, a partition is placed.
Ants in Garden May Be
Controlled by Pyrethrum
Ants in lawns, fields and gardens
can be controlled with a concentrat
ed pyrethrum product, according to
W. A. Price, Kentucky experiment
station. A preparation containing 2
per cent in a vegetable oil soap is
recommended. The dosage should
be applied at the rate of one table
spoonful to a gallon of water. A
gallon is sufficient for a hill 12
inches in diameter and tws laches
high.
