line and into Belgium.
Expect General Attack.
Paris.-The whole German front is
about to take the offensive again, ac-
cording to military strategists. At
tempt by the German forces, which
have worn down the defenses of Ant
werp, to join with the German right
wing in assaults westward toward the
coast is expected here to be the sig
nal for a general attack on the whole
battle line, now extending well over
three hundred miles.
French Much Encouraged.
The strong German REINFORCE
ments, which appeared on the Bel
gian frontier in the region of Lille,
according to a late report, have made
no progress in any point, and at GER
tain points the Germans have moved
back, particularly to the north of Ar
ras, where the fighting is developing
under conditions favorable to the
Allies
The present front is within about
sixty-eight miles of Antwerp. where
the Belgians offered such heroic
resistance to the bombardment of the
heavy German artillery. Further down
toward the center of the line the Sc
verest fighting continues at Roye.
Reims again has been subjected to
short bombardment.
Beers Revolt Against British.
A strong command of the Boer
al PrifiSh Tvninn of South
Africa has revolted and the govern
or has placed the entire Cape Colony
under martial law. The revolt was
engineered and led by Colonel Maritz,
secretly German army officer, who
received arms, materials of war and
money from Germany. Those of the
officers in the command who refused
to join the revolt were made prison
ers and taken to German Southwest
Africa.
The Union of South Africa is COM
posed of the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State, conquered in
1901, and the colonies of Cape of
Good Hope and Natal. The Union is
as thoroughly self-governing as Can
ada.
Aeropiane Bombs Deadly.
Dur1nS the last week herman dVl-
ators have flown several times over
Paris, killing five persons and wound
ing nearly forty by dropping bombs.
Property damage has been small.
During the last day of the siege of
Antwerp, German aviators dropped
bombs on the city, killing twenty non
mbatants.
Refugees a Grave Problem.
What to do with the refugees of
the war is grave problem that has
been forced on all the governments
of Europe, belligerent and neutral.
Fully five hundred thousand people
fled from Antwerp.
Many small Dutch towns have been
forced to close their gates, as they
cannot accommodate any more refugees
France and England are feeling the
pressure. too, especially France. 1t is
calculated that almost 1 million more
persons have fled into Central, West
ern and Southern France from the
north and northeast of France and
from Belgium.
All of these are destitute in the lit
eral sense of the word-without

Poultry and Eco Cars.

What Is regarded as the largest poul-
try and egg handling extension work
ever carried on In this country is now
being conducted by the department Of
agriculture in cooperation with the
University of Missouri and the Mis-
souri, state poultry board. The gov
ernment and state are operating two
demonstration cars throughout the
state.
The work is planned to assist farm
ers and poultry dealers to obtain a
better knowledge Of the business, &c
increase their profits, TO increase the
supply Of poultry and eggs for use as
food for the public and TO prevent the
large waste now existing due to faulty
methods Of handling.
The Missouri car contains live speci-
mems of the best breeds Of poultry
adapted to general farm conditions.

and brooding devices and other appli-
ances used for the raising Of poultry.
The other car is an especially equip

Poultry Accounting.

The department of agriculture has
issued system of poultry accounting
which, 1t is expected. will assist the
poultry owner to determine the status
of his flock at the end of each year.
One of the greatest needs Of most poul-
try keepers is definite record OF ex-
penditures and receipts.
A system formulated by the depart
ment consists of monthly and yearly
summary. inventory, balance sheets
and yearly record. On the monthly
sheet is placed the number Of chick
ems and eggs for each month In the
year. All eggs and chickens used at
home should be credited to the flock
at regular market value. and eggs used
for Matching at home should be both
credited and debited against the flock
at the same price. The labor OF the
owner should be estimated and charg-
ed against the flock each month If de-
sired. The balance at the end of the
year will then show the net profit of
the flock. The yearly summary sheet
consists OF the summary of the month
ly totals of expenditures and receipts
for the year. The inventory sheet
should be used at the beginning OF
each year. and complete inventory
should be taken of the equipment,
stock. feed, etc. Each piece Of equip
ment should be listed at Its actual
value. In the case Of buildings which
are substantially constructed per
cent deterioration should be sufficient
to allow for the passage of years
time.
The balance sheet shows the actual
status OF the flock for the year. 1t
will be found desirable to keep SIM
pie egg record for the year in connec-
ton with the account, as 1t will enable
the poultry keeper to check up the
number of eggs used at home and thus
be sure to credit the flock with them.

Changes Affecting Hoa Cholera.

By order of the secretary of agricul-
ture the federal meat inspection reg
ulations are amended to provide that
when any hogs Of lot offered for
slaughter show signs Of cholera there
shall be made temperature test Of
the suspected animals in the lot to de-
termine their true condition. One Of
the first proofs of cholera is the pres
ence of high fever, and the test for Its
detection has been frequently employ
ed by the government inspectors at
various packing centers. The new Or
der is an official recognition Of the
value of the test and makes Its en-
ployment general and compulsory
where federal meRt inspection is con-
Quoted. Under the new order when
a hog is suspected of cholera and is
found to have a fever of LOG degrees
f. or higher the carcass of such ami
NAL shall be condemned even though
the disease does not show In the Or
gans or in the dressed carcass.
The temperature test, however, is
but one determining factor, and the
order provides that the carcasses Of
hogs which plainly showed the dis
ease when alive and also those which
show the disease plainly on postmor-
TEN inspection shall be condemned.
Only those which do not show symp-
toms of the disease when alive and
are without signs Of the disease in the
dressed carcasses may be passed, while
those regarding which there is doubt
or which are affected In slight and
limited degree may be passed for
lard, provided the lard is rendered at
a temperature of not less than 220 ae
grees F. TOR a period Of four hours.

(official News Summary Of Up to Date
Matters Compiled by the United
States Department Of Agriculture.)
.HE farmer has long relied or

"HE farmer has long relied on
the chemist in regard to hu-
man food, fertilizer and feed
ing his cattle. The miller,
according to the bureau of chemistry,
department of agriculture, has been
behind other industries in putting the
chemist at work.
The small miller can often attend to
his machinery and. in addition, make
baking and other tests, but in the lar
ger mills, which manufacture variety
of products and prepare mixed feeds,
there should be division of labor, the
miller and the chemist each doing his
share of the work.
The moisture content of flour is
point too little considered, according
to the department. If in buying and
selling grain the moisture Is taken into
account. as 1t should be by SOUND
business men, the moisture in flour
and meal as well as in the byproducts
should also be given suitable attention.
The variation of a per cent OF mo1s-
ture In the flour Of the big mill is
equivalent In year to thousands OF
barrels and thousands Of dollars.
The moisture content will be one OF
great Importance year hence. 1t Is
contended by some Of our leading
millers that in judging as to short
age In weight the government should
always take into account the mois-
ture content. For example, If flour
contains when shipped 1871 per cent
of moisture, which has been accept
ed as the standard, and If the sam
ple shows but II per cent of moisture
when examined an allowance OF IN
per cent shortage in weight should be
allowed. Experiments are now IN
progress as to the shrinkage In flour
as caused by loss of moisture.
The amount of moisture in meal is
of even greater Importance than In
-four, because moisture is not only
valueless and influences
but also because 1t is an
factor In causing spollage.
It is therefore specially desirable that
the chemist aid the miller In drying to
the proper degree

Waste In Vegetables.

According to canning experts Of the
department of agriculture. about 30
per cent Of all the vegetables that are
produced every year go to waste and
are actually lost for human value be-
cause the average home has not learn
ed how efficiently to care for the sur
plus product.

There still occurs frequently at diff
ferent public stockyards the cruelty
of depriving cattle of water. Those
arriving too late for the market of the
day are not watered until the follow
ing morning in order that they may
gain weight. While weight is gained,
the deception is recognized instantly
by buyers. The practice is a deliber-
ate cruelty and should be suppressed.
