have become one of the common
features of the intrenchments on
both sides of the battle field, and.
crude as they are, they furnish the
one hOmelike touch of the war.
Here are found dishes, simple cook
ing utensils, and the ever-present
coffee or teapot, the latter being in
dispensable for the English soldier
In spite of the discomforts and dan
gers of the trenches, human nature
with its philosophy and a grim sort

genuity has been expended in nam-

Digging In" on the Firing Line

Lying fiat on the ground, alter
nately digging with his bayonet
blade and scooping out the loOsened
earth with the top of his meat can.
a soldier hastily makes at his side a
shallow trench that extends from
the head tosthe knees, placing each
little scoopful, as he digs it. in a
pile at his, head. Every movement
is made with the utmost caution
for bullets are whistling past only
few inches above his head and the
raising of any part of his body
would mean almost certain death.
When this shallow trench is flush
ed the soldier cautiously rolls into
it. Under this slight cover he then
begins to dig another deeper trench
at his side, but one that is long
enough this time to take his entire
body. If he lives to complete the
task, he has made wha, is known
as a lying down" trench. He has
made cover that protects HIM
from rifle fire but NOT from shrap-
mel or the flying fragments of burst.
ing shells.
This is not an individual instance
but typical case. 1t is one phase
of the "diggine-in" process that
comprises one of the biggest feat
ures of the biggest war the world
has ever known. When a column
of soldiers has advanced until it
can advance no farther, and the
men are ordered to hold their ex.
posed position, they dig themselves
in" in this fashion. Perhaps they
are compelled to remain where
they are, for retreat over exposed
ground is often as dangerous as an
advance AS soon as night comes
intrencbing tools are brought for
ward, and the little trenches made
under fire are enlarged, connected
and deepened until they are contin-
UOus. and furnish cover in which
men may stand and move about
safe from rifle fire, but always in
danger from shell fire and shrapnel
In this shelter that the soldier has
0ug for himself he may remain fol
weeks, or the trench may be aban.

FORAGE Poisoning.


The Missouri State Board of Ae-
riculture has issued to farmers and
SOCK men a news bulletins as fol-
lows, quoting the latest statement
by DR.. D. F. Luckey, State Veterina-
rian of this Board
Immense numbers of horses and
some cattle are dying over the state
at the present time. For the want
of a better or more accurate name,
the trop BILE is called Forage Pois-
onine"
"Cause:-It is undoubtedly due to
some mould on the fodder or ear
corn. Other feed seldom causes the
trouble. Losses are occurring among
both horses and cattle, whether on
corn stalk pastures or fed ear corn
or shock fodder. The heaviest losses
have occurred since the fall pastures
have become exhausted and horses
and cattle are compelled to eat large
ly of stalks, fodder or corn.
Symptoms: Cattle often die sud-
denly without showing any we'll
marked symptoms. The symptoms
in horses vary a good deal and the
disease runs a course lasting from
one to four days. They first become
sluggish or sleepy and these symp-
toms usually pass unnoticed. Some
horses lean against the wall. The
animal appears to be blind in one
or both eyes. Later there is we'll
marked nervous arrangement. Some
walk in a circle and others 90
straight ahead running into obsta-
Giles that come in tie way. Many
cases, in the later stages, become so
violent as to be dangerous to han
die.
Treatment: Most of these cases
are not noticed until it is too late
In the advanced stages treatment
/ is useless. No single line of treat
ment will cure these cases. AS
soon as a case occurs, all corn and
fodder should be withheld and the
feed completely changed Then ad-
minister a full dose of salts or raw
linseed oil to all animals that have
! been eating the dangerous feed.
"Prevention:-The prevention lies
in putting corn up in the silo. If
the silage keeps well and does not
mould. there is no danger. If the
silo leaks air anywhere and the ST.
lage moulds. there is still some dam
ger. Since it is too late at this
time to take advantage of this
means of preventing trouble, all
those who are threatened with dam
ger will simply have to quit feeding
the corn and fodder that is causing
it. When there is no other feed

This war is therefore primarily
one field intrenchments. Much had
been written before the war
about field intrenchments and their
importance in modern war fare.
But a battle line 800 miles long
extending from the North Sea
through northern France into AL
SAGE, consisting of practically con
tinuOus lines of intrenchments so
securely held that neither side could
make any material advance in
weeks, is thing so big that it had
apparently never been dreamed Of
Along this battle field the country
is cut up, not by two parallel lines
of intrenchments alone, but by nu-
merous trenches, some of which
have been occupied repeatedly by
first one army and then the other
as the fortune of battle wavered
along the battle line There are
new and half.finished trenches,
trenches with shrapnel. proof shell
tiers and with zig-zag excavated ap-
proaches from the rear, abandoned

been wrecked by artillery Ire. So
carefully are the trenches and their
occupants concealed that the battle
field would have. much of the time.
the appearance of a deserted coun-
try, if it were not for the bursting
shells and shrapnel. Back of the
firing line on both sides of the great
conflict, men have been busy for
weeks constructing trenches for the
army to fall back on in case of re-
treat. Since this work is not done
under fire, these trenches are care
fully made on selected ground, often
motor-drawn plows being used to
break ground for them
Since men not only fight in the
trenches, but must often eat and
sleep in them. the cave shelters

THAT JAP INVASION.

Something has been said about a
law patterned after recent legislation
in California, says the Detroit Free
Press. commenting on the report that
a colony OF 400 Japanese farmers will
settle i'm Alger count in the upper
peninsula. THE effectiveness of the
California anti-alien land law is a
matter ~ some uncertainty. and II Is
not clear that any measure which
would amount TO anything along this
line could be passed without coming
into conflict with the treaty between
the United States and Japan. True
this treaty does not specifically give
the Japanese the right 10 buy or lease
farm lands in America, but there is
enough question about the matter TO
make prohibitive legislation of very
doubtful validity.
Nor if the worst should come to
the worst, would any legislation be
needed. While this would not hold
good in Alger county, perhaps 1t
would be true in most parts Of Mich
igan that each community would have
within itself the power to decide
whether it wanted TO neighbor with
japanese. To keep them out of any
farming section it would only be ne
cessarv for landowners TO decline to
sell, lease or rent 10 them. Where
japanese obtain farms ii is because
white Americans are willing to take
their money
