WHAT GOOD HAVE THEY DONE ;?
Some Things That Agricultural Rep
resentatives Have Accomplish
ed in Wisconsin

What have the agricultural repre-
sentatives done? "By their fruits ye
shall know them" 1t is difficult in
one short article to tell of very many
instances of benefit which these
young men have been to the farm
ers. A few instances will show the
ways in which they have been of as
sistance and these few ways will
have to suffice for hundreds Of ways
in which they have benefited real
farmers in real ways
One Of the men a year ago by
testing imported seed corn found that
at least two-thirds of it would not
grow The shipment was returned
and new seed secured and planted.
The field of 28 acres returned Is
tons of mature corn silage to the
acre worth 81 a ton. This makes a
total of $3.50 worth Of silage Had
the poor corn been planted only
about one-third of this would have
been realized. Thus at one stroke the
agricultural representative saved one
farmer at least $1,000 on just one
crop. In another instance COW was
sick with milk fever 1t would have
died but for the timely work of the
agricultural representative. At least
$65 saved that time. In another in
stance a farmer was about to throw
away a defective cream separator
The agricultural representative took
the matter up with the company The
machine was sent in to the COM
pany's shops, repaired and returned
new machine at an expense of 500.
Thus about $45 was saved that time.
In another instance an agricultural
representative found that the cream
separator of the farmer was leaving
one and one-fOurth per cent of but
ter fat in the skim milk. Another
representative has helped the farm
ers of his county to secure two car
loads of imported dairy cattle. Sew
eral of the men have helped the
farmers to secure car lots of lime
at reasonable rates. This lime is
used to prepare fields for alfalfa
sowings One field of an acre and
three quarters cut last year eight
tons of alfalfa and dairy cattle feed
ers call alfalfa equal to bran in the
dairy ration. This would mean that
the alfalfa went about five tons to
the acre. Bran in the winter time
runs around $28 a ton Then this one
farmer secured $140 from an acre
through the help of the agricultural
representative. That farmer has add
ed four acres to his alfalfa crop and
proposes to add ten acres more this
season.
Another representative had tested
out the COWS of his county for tuber-
culosis. In one instance in this same
county he found three pure bred
COWS that had recently been pur-
chased to be infected with tubercu-
losis. The seller of the stock con-
tended that the stock was all right.

WAR AT CRITICAL POINT
Germans Throw Greatest Strength Into Efforts to
Take Dunkirk and Calais, France-Seek Coast
Base From Which to Menace England
With Fleet and Airships

Arras and Roye slight progress has
been made at several points. Our
troops have reached as far as the wire
networks Of the defense. In the neigh
borhood of ST. Mihiel we have gained
some ground on the right bank of the
Meuse
Important Change Soon.
All the signs indicate that a change
is impending in the protracted
struggle in northern France, where for
weeks the hostile armies have faced
each other in such strongly entrench-
ed positions that neither has been able
to advance except at enormous cost.
The principal effect of the mutual
flanking operations has been to extend
the battle lines without either side
finding weak spot.
French Hold Eastern Line.
The French still hold the eastern
frontier fortress line. although a
number Of barrier forts have fallen. A
letter from German officer who was
before Toul describes the art with
which the French defend every yard
before and between the fortresses. The
French infantry is sheltered in three
story trenches. The bomb proofs, even
in the infantry positions, are rooted
with concrete, against which all ex-
cept the heaviest shells are ineffec-
tive. Cannon in disappearing armored
turrets answer the continued German
fire. In houses outside the French
lines have been found cellar elet-
phones by means of which the posi-
tion OF the German batteries have
been destroyed. Dogs carried letters.
and carrier pigeons were used, until
the dogs were shot and the pigeons
were eaten.
Almost to Metz.
The steady hammering OF the Al
lies on the German left wing of the
French battle front has brought them
almost within cannon range of the
forts at Metz. In spite of this men,

General fighting has been in pro-
gress between the Austro-German al
lies and the Russians in Russian Po-
land and in Austrian Galicia during
the last week. 1t is reported that
about million men are engaged on
each side.
The Germans and Austrians drove
the Slavs out of western Galicia and
caused them to retreat northward in
Poland to the vistula river But here
the Russians turned upon their pur-
suers. Notwithstanding that the fight

Summary of Events.)

The third act of the war in the
western theater has reached a
critical point. The first act was
the German attempt to sweep
through Belgium and Northern
France upon Paris, with the cap
ture of the French capital as the
climax of an irresistible advance.
The second act was the often
sive assumed by the Allies after
General Won Kluck had stretched
his army on the German west
wing over a long line of COM
munications that he could not
hold. The allied army pressed
the German forces back toward
the Belgian border, compelling
the entire line from the eastern
pivot of Verdon to recede in
order to maintain an unbroken
front and a possible line of re-
treat.
The third act is the attempted
advance of the Germans along the
coast of Belgium and Northern
France, apparently with the de-
sign of establishing themselves
in the Channel ports, from which
point of vantage they could me-
mace England.
Where the Battle Line Is.
The extreme western fighting line
now reaches from Armentieres
through Roulers to Nieuport on the
coast, ,.about half way between Ostend
and Dunkirk. According to the French
official announcement, German heavy
artillery, presumably used in the siege
of Antwerp, has bombarded the front
from Nieuport to Vladslo, which is
about ten miles from the coast.
Fleet Aids BeIgians.
The latest Paris report says that at
tacks by the Germans between Nieu-
fprt and Dixmunde have been re-
pulsed by the Belgian army effectually

ideas date back as far as 1916. To-
tally Ignorant of foreign politics they
are still under the sentiment of a CEN
tury ago and are still attempting. but
yainly attempting, to sow discord be-
tween the Allies by insinuating
against England

RUSSIA DENIES STORY OF

clearly defined Russia's attitude to-
ward the Allies and her stand against
Germany. The statement, NJ. Sazonoff
said, was made because of attempts

create discord and awaken anti-Eng-
llsh sentiment.

the Germans have kept up terrific
bombardment which ceased neither
day nor night Under cover Of this
fire numerous attempts have been
made to throw chains OF pontoons
across the river.
Przemysi Siege Lifted.

says, is now entirely freed of the Rus

which now are being attacked by the
Austrians. This line is supposed to
keep in check the direct Austrian ad-
vance from Przemysl toward Lem
berg.
Austrian Defeat In Bosnia.
An official statement issued by the
Montenegro consul general announces
the overwhelming defeat OF an army
of $4,000 Austrians near Sara1evo by
the combined Montenegrin and Serv-
ian armies. The battle ragged two
days, with enormous losses on both
sides.
Seize Turk War Supplies.
Reports from Bucharest. Rumania,
say that a German train composed of
15O trucks laden with munitions and
other war material for Turkey, has
been stopped by the Rumanian author
tiles on the railroad between Bucha-
rest and Giurgevo on the aDnube. The
German government protested, but
the train was not allowed to proceed.
More Activity at Sea.
A British cruiser and four destroy
ers sank four German destroyers off
the Dutch coast. This followed the
sinking of the British cruiser Hawke
and the killing of 500 men by Ger
man submarine torpedo boat.
The British and French fleets and
the Montenegrin army are carrying on
an attack on Cattaro, the fortified
seaport of Austria in Dalmatia, the
first sortie from which the Montene-
grins claim to have repulsed.
Turkey Still Is Defiant.
Turkey has declined to discharge
the German crew OF the cruisers Goe-
ben and Breslau, which have been in
Turkish waters since early in the hos
tilities and which are said to have
been sold by Germany to the Turkish
government. This reply was given in
answer to the British representations
regarding the continued presence of
Germans on board these two vessels.
British Army Scandals.
That the English army is clad in
inferior khaki, overcharged In the can
teens-sometimea as much as 500 per
cent-and is iIl-fed by the camp cater
ers, are charges implied in series of
questions that will be addressed to the
ministers on the reassemblIng Of par
lament. Other questions imply
charges that couriers are able to
travel regularly between Berlin and
London; that high official has upset
business by Zeppelin scare; that sig
mailing to the enemy is suspected to be
going on from Scotch harbor and
that the committee on defense has ne.
elected holding meetings.

Powers of the Three Different Rays
Alpha, Beta and Gamma.

Alpha, Beta and Gamma.
There are three kinds of so called
rays having their melting origin in ra-
dium. The three rays are known as
alpha, beta and gamma rays. and each
Of these has characteristic peculiari-
ties.
The alpha rays have range inside
of half an inch from their source, the
beta rays reach about three times as
far, and the gamma rays are yet more
penetrating. A thin sheet Of paper or
a film of tin foil or mica will effectual-
ly halt the alpha rays. A millimeter
of lead or FIVE milimeters of Alumni
um will stop the further progress Of
the beta rays. but the gamma rays Will
go through nineteen centimeters of iron
or seven centimeters of lead before
their original intensity Is reduced per
cent.
The alpha rays consist of positively
charged atoms of heium advancing at
a velocity of 10000 miles second. and
the beta rays are negatively charged
bodies projected at a speed of quite
10000 miles in the same interval OF
time. Roughly. the beta rays are a
hundred times more penetrating than
the alpha rays, while the gamma rays
in their turn. are hundredfold as
searching as the beta rays.--Exchange
