LONDON, Sept. 16.-Evidences that
the German army Of Invasion has now
succeeded In reforming under cover
Of It's rear guard and is fighting hard
for an opportunity to renew the often
sive 10 contained In the official re-
porte Of the war office. They say
that serious fighting has been in pro-
gress for two days along the battle
line but they Insist that at no point
have the Germans been able to take
the Initiative. The situation It Is Off
cislIy stated 10 entirely satisfactory
20 the allies. The two sides of this
battle, It now seems certain, Is now
under the armies under direct conn
mand Of General Joffres and the conn
bined armies Of Crown Prince Fred
erIck Wilhelm and the Duke Of Wur-
temburg. This battle 10 devastating
the wonderful champagne country OF
France Of which Rheims Is the centre.
IL Is Ideal ground for finish fight,
rolling territory and ANAL hills COW
cred with grape vines. The result OF
this battle will determine whether
the Germans can remain In France or
whether they will be forced to retire
behind their own frontier to continue
the battle.
A report from Berlin which reached
London from Rome today has puzzled
many Of the military experts. II states
that the Germans admitted Llege was
to be abandoned. Why this was to
DO 50, could not be figured out and Il
was generally accepted to be mistake
although italian newspapers were
quoted az saying Germans had decided
70 retire 70 their fortresses on the
Rhine and maintain strong defense
until they could transport most Of
their active army east to crush the
Russians. Few officials credited these
reports. They declared the German
prestige at home would suffer TOO
much were the campaign against
France even to be halted. If Liege 10
abandoned they said IL would be In
dicative only Of the fact that the Ger
mans planned to mass their forces In
eastern France and concentrate their
attack on the allies without the neces-
city Of guarding enormously long
lines Of communication through Bel
GUM. Hut II such action 70 taken, Il
10 declared unlikely to be decided up
on until the Issue Of the present battle
10 ascertained.

SANTA FE OBJECTS
Says Stock Yards Company is
Exceeding Rights on In
terState Business.
FOR THE COURTS TO DECIDE
Suit Already Has Been Filled to Gust
Company from Doing Business
as Common Carriers.

Trouble between the Kansas City
Stock Yards company and the rail-
roads broke out in a new place when
the Santa Fe complained, Informally,
both to the public utilities commits
sion and Attorney General John S.
Dawson against the stock yards COM
pany collecting IS cents a car switch
ing charge for handling live stock.
The Santa Fe asserts that it is do
Ing an entirely intrastate business.
The cattle are shipped from Kansas
points, through Kansas, delivered to
the stock yards company in Kansas,
and unIoaded in Kansas. Hence it
represents the stock yards company,
never having obtained permission
from the public utilities commission
nor the state charter board to do bus
mess as common carrier, has no
right to make any transportation
charges. The yards company put the
charges into effect last April, claim
ing authority from the interstate COM
merce commission. Since then it has
held out on the Santa Fe some 81 800.
1T is not a matter for the public

courts said C. F. Foley, chairman
of the public utilities commission.
This commission, I believe, can do
nothing I understand the Santa Fe
does not do an interstate live stock
business from Kansas to the stock
yards. The Santa Fe might enjoin
the stock yards company from col
lecting the switching charges"
Attorney General Dawson already
has brought suit against the stock
yards company in the supreme court
to GUST it from doing business in Kan
sas as a common carrier. In it's an
swer the yards company represents
that the court has no jurisdiction over
the interstate business of the COM
pany, having a Missouri charter, and
denies that the public utilities com
mission has any jurisdiction. 1t also
represents that if it is doing any in
trastate business this is only inciden-
tai, and the state has no right to
separate this from it's interstate
charges. The utilities commission
has been made a party to the custer
suit.
Judge Smith, general attorney for
the Santa Fe, says that proceedings
will be Instituted against the yards
company Immediately.

birth to insure a good start in life.
Contrary to the prevailing opinion
among farmers, the bot which infests
the stomach Of the horse is often
harmful to both young and old ami
mails, and may be especially disastrous
to colts. The bot is the larval stage
OF the horse bot1y. The botfy repro
duces by depositing light yellow, oval
eggs, which are attached by the adult
female to the hair of the legs, breast,
and neck. The eggs hatch; then the
horse ticks itself and some Of the
small larvae are taken through the
mouth into the stomach, where they
attach themselves firmly to the lining.
By their parasitic tendencies large

the stomach damage the interior Of
that organ. prevent digestive action,
and in some cases cause the horse to
remain In such poor condition that
death may ensue. It is probable that
many cases Of poor condition in horses
thought to be due to worms are really
due to heavy infestation with bots.

q moderate amount of oats is given in
the morning; in the evening food is

If properly administered, the geln-

Every year thousands Of colts are
lost through the bad handling of brood
mares. AS a general rule it is safe to
say that farmers do not appreciate
how easily a mare with foal can be in
jured.
1t does a brood mare no harm to be
worked gently up to within ten days
or two weeks of foaling, but If she is
subjected to sudden strain by being
forced to pull big load out Of a tight
place or is driven through heavy mud
or deep snow drifts, trouble is almost
sure to follow
One of the most common causes Of
injury to mares in foal is slipping on
the ice in the early spring. If the
mare must be driven she should be
shod with light, sharp shoes, but she
should never be used on the road
when it is avoidabIe.
Swinging doors Of box stalls are
also prolific sources Of danger as a
mare may be caught in half closed
door. A blow on the body with a
heavy halter in the hands OF a hot
tempered man may cause the loss of
a foal Mares with foal should never
be driven, but always led.
Mares with foal, particularly when
close to the foaling period, are apt to
be quarrelsome, and if two or more
are permitted to run together, there is
always danger that they may be in
jured in q fight. a kick in the abdo-
men has caused the loss of thousands
of foals.
The mare with foal should have
light exercise, but it is always safer
to work her gently than to allow her
to run in the pasture with other
horses, particularly If they have free
access to the open door of the barn.
Mares are frequently injured by be-
ing crowded against the door jamb by
other horses when entering or leaving
the barn.
If the mare is with foal in the stable
keep the premises perfectly clean at
all times, with plenty of clean, soft
bedding. AS soon as the foaI arrives.
all the bedding should be at once re
moved and burned, and the floor
should be thoroughly cleaned and
sprinkled with disinfectant
The colt should have constant care
for several days Immediately after

curl back with stout sharp knife
The soaking over night is valuable
labor saver especially when large or
ders must be delivered for the early
morning trade.
Our onions are sent to market in
lots Of a dozen punches each, wrapped
in plain wrapping paper and tied
loosely with stout cord, to prevent
dust from settling on them in transit
The yellow Danvers variety is our
favorite for green onions because OF
their quick and uniform growth, fresh
white color and mild flavor.
Sprouts Of red onions are tougher
and streaked with purplish color
which dealers do not ike, invariably
prefering pure white onion for
bunch onions.
Unquestionably it pays to be partie-
ular when preparing vegetables for
market for those Of the freshest and
neatest appearance are always sought
for while the careless peddIer who
brings in half cleaned, uneven punches
sometimes none too fresh and covered
with dust, has some to take back.

GETTING SPRING
ONIONS TO FRONT
Fresh Vegetables Put Up in. Neat
Packages Are Always in De-
mand in All Big Cities.

CBy LAVILLA WRIGHT MACOMBER)
Having discovered, after several
seasons of experience, that large size
sets yield better than the small ones
and occupy no more space, We sort
out our small, even sized sets in early
spring and sell to the stores, retaining
all the medium or large left over
onions to set for marketing.
Often grocers who have a large
amount Of grown onions left over in
their cellars are glad to get rid of
them for little or nothing and they
make the best Of sets even when the
sprouts are spindled for they soon
straighten out of doors and have near
" a week the start of those not al
ready sprouted
We set our onions just as soon as
the ground can be plowed and roughly
leveled, leaving enough space between
the closely set rows to cultivate with
a wheel hoe A cold snap or light
snow does not hurt them except to
retard growth and we find that the
sets must be placed In the ground and
pushed along for market at the earIi-
est possible date to meet the first de-
mands, which, before town gardens
begin to bear, are brisk.
Our onions are placed on the mar
ket as soon as the bulbs begin to
show slightly rounded bottoms and
our customers prefer them at that
stage rather than when the bottoms
are nicely rounded and the onion
flavor more pronounced. The extreme
tips of the bunch only are clipped
to give a heater appearance and they
are tied well down onto the tops that
the string may not cut into the tender
white part.
AS our orders are usually sent In
the day before, the onions are pulled
in the evening and left standing, bot
toms down, in tubs Of water over
night. The water loosens The rotten
outside skins which may be easily
slipped down and the roots clipped

chase price for the bride in silver,

of the girls parents also receives

On the day when the presents are
delivered all the relatives and friends
on both sides are invited to a series
Of festivities and banquets, which last
several days, being furnished first by
one side and then by the other. The
eve Of the actual wedding, which usu-

by the future husband and wife in a
vigil, without which it is thought that
great ill-fortune would follow.
Next day the happy couple, with
their parents and friends, appear be-

day two old women conduct the bride

nights the old women stay with them.
The couple are hardly allowed to

bride.
