SWEET CLOVER AS A BUILDER Of SOILS

1t was not many years ago, says
an aobservant farm operator In Iowa,
when the tall, sweet-smelling stun
that lines the roadWays OF SO large d
part Of our country was considered a
pest.
Frank Coyerdale, OF Delmar, Iowa,
who has grown sweet clover exten-
ssively, has this to say of It:
There lis no excuse for the Iowa
or Illinois farmer being impoverished
and handicapped trying to operate d
farm SO poor that he lis hardly able
to eke out scant existence, when
there is available SO good Iegume
as sweet clover that will do the work

yisable to plow under the whole crop
where the soil lis very thin. sF
Sweet clover is so profitable that
lit will be folly to put q farm largely
to corn, when more money can be had
by growing more clover If every
farm in the state would maintain Al
perpetual sweet clover pasture for
hogs what a saving 1t would mean,
with this feed SO rich In protein that
but very little mill feeds in addition
would be needed to grow an abund-
ance of pork, much cheaper than lis

HORRORS OF A BITTER WINTERS WAR

typhoid fever and dysentery. Vaccin-
alton has overcome small llpox, and the
similar typhoid treatment has over
come this disease, but dysentery is
left, and also measles, especially
fatal under field conditions.
THE mind is attracted by the gla-
NOR of armed conflict and we tend TO
overlook the sordid details of sickness
which in war causes more deaths
than bullets. In the Spanish-Ameri
can war 5000 men were wounded in
action, while $4,000 were victims Of
disease. In the district in which the
campaign of France is being waged,
the siege Of Metz, in 1870, was motor
ious for the inroads made upon the
strength of the armies by the epidem-
les that prevailed. The great army
of Marshal Bazine, which was shut
up in Metz, was rendered almost en-
tirely hors de combat by disease and
starvation, while the Germans be-
sieging army, with everything In its
favor, had over SO per cent on the
sick list at the time Of the French
surrender.
The cold weather makes especial
ly terrible the losses in battle. The
wounded can do little to help them
selves. With lowered vitality they
soon succomb to the freezing weather.
The percentage of losses mounts up
far beyond that Of ordinary combats.
Already the Belgian reports show the
beginning of German preparations for
their winter campaign"
Saturday news. (Watertown, S.D.) 19??-19??, 1914-10-15

One of the expert writers of the
Army and Navy Journal has studied
the future of the European war in
two of its terrible aspects disease
and winter fighting. The picture he
draws is appalling. He says:
"a new enemy has appeared in
northern France that lis attacking
with impartiality both the Germans
and the allies. Disease is now MAX
ing inroads upon the armed forces
that will increase in severity as the
hardships of the campaign continue.
History shows that epidemics be-
gin to appear about the third week
4 of war and gradually increase In Sc
verify for several months. BY the
end Of six months disease has car
ried off or incapacitated all those
whose resistance is insufficient to
give them immunity. After six
months Of campaigning the soldier is
sufficiently toughened to survive al
most anything except starvation or
bullets
when armies fight for days over
the same ground as Is now the case
In the great battle of the Afsne, the
spread OF epidemics is especially IA
cilitated. So strenuous is the fight
ing that no time can be spared to
bury the dead. Corpses Of men and
carcases Of animals lie where they
fall. and spread infection through
the district.

decisive area OF the war. The kai-
,ser's order to concentrate the best
part of the German army operating In
France in an attempt to crush the
English was not approved by Won
Moltke. who considered that the stra-
tegical necessities of the position
rendered other plans more effectiye.
The kaiser more recently wished
to detach a large number of airships
and aeroplanes for raids on English
towns, but Won Moltke pointed out
that all available aircraft were urg-
