SOWING GLOVER SEQ

Glover should invariably be
sown in the spring and, under
normal conditions comparatively
early.
Broadcasting the seed and fol-
lowing with a harrow has been
frequently advised, and is sue
cessful in Minnesota during wet
seasons and on heavy soils; but
IS often unsatisfactory in dry
seasons and on light soils. Glover
should not be sown too deeply,
and yet it is desirable to SOW it
sufficiently deep that it will neith-
er blow out nor dry out too easily.
Under most conditions, either US
ing the grass seed attachment to
The drill or mixing the seed with
The grain is to be recommended.
Excellent stands of grass have
been obtained by mixing the red
clover with the grain and sowing
the balance of the grass seed
mixtures broadcast. If grass seed
is mixed with the grain and sown
with a drill, the drill should not
be run more than from one to two
inches deep.
The amount of seed per acre
will vary slightly with the method
OF seeding and the purity and the
terminating power of the seed.
IT is believed that in general too
little, rather than too much, seed
is sown. If clover is sown separ-
ately, it should be at the rate of
from eight to ten pounds of red
or mammoth, from four to six OF
alsike, and from three to four OF
white clover.-A. G.. Army, Assist

WAR HORRORS
DESCRIBED BY

Lieutenant Saw Thousand Dead
Germans in 600-Yd. Radius

New York, n. Y, oct. 5.-Lieuten-
ant A. Elliott Brown, L. :. A.. who vis-
tied the battlefield of the Meuse, Just
after the fighting, reached New York
today. He gives a vivid description OF
the battlefield.
SO great has been the carnage, he
said, that within a radius of six hum
dred yards, he saw one thousand dead
Germans. Bayonet charges of the al
lies, he said, were responsible for the
great slaughter as the Germans were
50 strongly entrenched they could not
bc dislodged any other way.
Il saw Captain Parker of the Unit
ed States army while / was i'm France"
said Brown. He told me the German
army's retreat from it's near approach
to Paris had been perfect military
movement and he had seen but one
dead German left behind. The German
soldiers were friendly TO the French
peasants, he said, and he found no
trace of the atrocities he had heard so
much about"

AUSTRALIA TO SEND
10000 TROOPS TO FRANCE.
Recruits Mainly From Cities, With
20 Guns and 7,477 Horses.

Melbourne, oct. Recruiting foi
the Australian imperial expeditionarS
force, which is the official title of tho
army Of 10000 which the common
wealth is devoting 20 the aid of the
empire, is finished.
While in some dlatricts a special
effort was being made to get the
bushmen from the country, the cities
have furnished the greater part of
the material. Owing 10 the system
Of compulsory military training which
the commonwealth put in force a
year or two ago, Australia is much
better qualified TO raise a volunteer
army than was the case at the out
break of the Boer war, when no such
comprehensive system existed
The force is made up Of a light
horse brigade and a division OF infan-
try, 2,S15 horses. and 10 guns, and the
division Of 1853 men, including on-
GERS; 5,162 horses and 20 guns, or a
grand total Of 1878 men and OFF,
GERS, G477 horses and 20 guns, TO
which are to be added 221 other OFF,
GERS and men who are TO be employed
in various capacities. The volunteers
have been taken from the states on a
territorial basis, and therefore New
South Wales and Victoria have con-
tributed the most men.

PLAN TO PLACE MILITIA
OF U. S. ON WAR FOOTING.
Perfect Arrangements for Rapid Mob
iization in Time Of Need.

Washington, ID. c.. oct 5.-Plans
which would permit the quick mobiliz-
ing of the militia of the various states
being perfected by the war depart
ment.
The importance of formulating these
plans in advance of the necessity of
carrying them out has been cmphasiz-
ed by the lessons in the mobilization
of the German and French armies af-
forded by the European war.
Tables of organization for the mill
tia covering in detail all of the arms
of the service were issued by the divi-
sion of military affairs. The tables,
which are based on the field service
regulations of 1914, set forth in. concise
form all of the orders and circulars
that have been issued by the war de-
partment relative to organized militia.
AS far as possible the tables make or
ganization of the militia conform to
that of the regular army. In order to
do this, the peace strength of the in
fantry companies has been increased
from fifty to sixty-five and the war
strength fixed at $50, which is the
same as the regular army. The cav
airy companies are increased from If
ty-eight To sixty-five with the war
strength at 100. The coast artillery
has been increased from slxty-two to
This change does not apply TO the
required strength of militia organiza
tions that must attend maneuvers, but
is fixed largely 10 make the militia a
better nucleus for a war mobilization.
1t is planned to have the peace
equipment for organized militia in
possession Of the different states and
to have additional equipment and arms
at the federal armories or storehouses.

invaders Retire, Leaving Many Dead
and Wounded.

London, oct. 5.-The correspondent
Of the Times, wiring from Chalons.
France, under date of Monday. SAYS:
The Germans are gone and Chalons
is rejoicing The latest reports seem
to indicate a general retirement from
the strong line of defense which the
Germans constructed to the north of
Rheims.
Their trenches on this line are
wonderful works of art. Dug to a
depth of six feet they are covered and
protected i'm many places with layers
of concrete.
Up To this line the French worked
their way foot by foot until in places
their front was not 100 yards from the
German trenches. The condition Of
these undrained trenches when exam
ned will be found to be terrible. The
wounded as well as the dead lie where
they fell. The French in the ad-
vanced trenches could hear cries at
night coming across the narrow belt
over which the two armies fought.
'To some of the trenches on the
heights above Rheims the French laid
lines of hose and filled them breast
high with water.
"Chalons suffered little from the
German occupation. Not a single house
is damaged and only one inhabitant
was killed. The German governor i'm
posed a fine of 100000 on the depart
ment of Marne. of which Chalons is
the principal town. Later this was
reduced 10 500, 10000. which was paid"

London, oct. Sit seems certain
that the forts in the outer right of the
Antwerp defense are still occupied by
the defenders, but these must have
suffered greatly. Desperate efforts by
the Germans to cross the River Nethe,
where their advance lines rest, have
been repulsed. Along this line one OF
the great German siege guns is said to
have been lost in the swamps. If true
it is a serious disaster TO the Germans
for the huge weapon could not easily
be replaced
Difficult Task For Germans.
London, oct. 5.-The outer forts
of Antwerp, although untaken. accord
ing to the Belgian advices, are only
the first line of defense of the city
and. besides two more powerful lines,
the besiegers will have To- contend with
a large inundated area. This extends
along the rivers Scheldt, Rupel and
Nethe as far as Dunel, as well as to
the north and the east OF the town.
Heretofore fortresses have not stood
long after the big German siege guns
have been brought up. But Antwerp
is in different category, as in addi-
tion to being stronger than any fort
ress yet attacked. there is consider
able space i'm which the field army can
operate against the besieging forces.
