CASTLES TO BE BLOWN UP
Great Buildings in Belgium Mined for
Destruction on Approach
of Enemy.

Namur, Belgium.-On arriving in
Namur, / found huge crowd Of Ger
man prisoners, says Maurice Gerbe-
cult in the Chicago News. They were
well equipped, but seemed demora-
lized, and would talk but little. They
complained of having had INSULT
cient food, and their appearance sug-
gested that the complaint was justi-
fed. The German quartermaster de-
partment, apparently, has been over
taxed. Military men here say that
Teutonic craftsmanship has been IN
accurate, the artillery being slow in
rectifying its aim. The German cav
airy, however, is first class, and ubi-
quitous, burning farms and haystacks,
ransacking post offices, and overrun-
ming the spaces between the forts.
In Namur all the big trees have
been cut down or blown to pieces by
dynamite, to prevent their use in d.
recting the enemy's artillery fire. The
most beautiful castles and villas in
the valley of the Mouse have been I'M
dermined, ready to be blown up when
the enemy appeared.
/ have seen Belgian soldiers sleep
ing on velvet and silk curtains in the
villas. The owners do not care, but
feed their guests well, and treat them
as if they were their own children.
Innumerable trenches protected by
barbed wire have been excavated by
the Belgian soldiers, assisted by work
men from the idle factories, the en-
gineers and foremen especially rem
dering splendid service. The Belgian
officers are actuated by a high fight
ing spirit, which is fully shared by
their men.
The soldiers declare that waiting in
the trenches for the next battle makes
them nervous The officers have trou-
BILE in restraining them from taking
the offensive, although they respect
the resolute qualities of the invaders.
The captured German horses are
emaciated and weak.
1t is estimated that the number of
French troops in the Belgian province
of Luxembourg is 10000. They are re-
ceived with many demonstrations of
joy. In marching they sing and adorn
their guns with flowers.

human beings are able when forced

the prevalence of disease involves, is
the enforcement of sanitary regula-

PROFIT IN DkIHYING DE-
PENDS OH WISE feeding
Sllase Or Legume Hay Needed In
Ration To Lessen Cost OF
Feeding.

G. Z. WOLCOTT.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

During the summer months. when
COWS are on pasture, the dairyman is
not troubled with the problem of sup
plying the herd with a ration which
will maintain the flow of milk and also
be economical
To the farmer who has loft full
of alfalfa or clover, and q silo full OF
silage, the problem is simple; he will
need comparatively little grain tc
make a balanced ration.
If cut fodder, alone is available foi
roughage. il will be necessary TO sup
ply large part of the nutrients, re
Quired to maintain the production OF
the herd, in the form of a grain mix
ture which Will necessarily be eX
pensive. This is the season when the
farmer realizes. more than ever that
silage and some legume hay are neces
sary for the profitable production OF
milk and butter. Two-thirds of the
nutrients required for normal pro
duction can be supplied in the form
of rough feed: but where neither silage
nor legumes are available two-thirds
Of the daily feed must be supplied in
the form of grain. This necessitates
the purchase Of large amounts of high
priced concentrates; which will make
the cost of production very high and
probably improbable.
IN selecting the feeds for his grain
mixture the dairyman should choose
those that are TO be had at the lowest
cost; and use only enough of each
so that the mixture will, when fed
with what roughage is available, sup
ply the nutrients that are required for
given production. This is bal.
anced ration.

The famous cypress near Oaxaca in
Mexico. over 5000 years old, said to
be the Oldest tree in the world was
discovered by Humboldt while on his
famous tour of equatorial America,
100 years ago. He nailed to it a
wooden tablet, which is now half COW
cred by the subsequent growth Of
the tree. Upon it, however, is still
legible the autograph of the famous
German naturalist. The last meas
urement of the tree showed its trunk,

IMPROVEMENT OF SCHOOL
GROUNDS is VERY
DESIRABLE.


Maryland Agricultural College.
Many Of our rural schoolhouses are
so situated that they wholly lack pro-
lection from inclement weather. Con-
seQuently. the teacher and pupils are
often subjected TO trying conditions in
severe weather. When it is almost I'M
possible 10 keep the building warm.
Not only are the winds of winter try
ing. but those Of spring are equally so.
while the intense rays of the summer
sun often have similar effect By the
iudicious planting of trees and shrubs
marked changes can be secured. The
severe winds Will be checked from
striking the building. thus mitigating
the temperature TO some extent. In
spring the trees viii give that refresh.
ing shade so welcome at that season
of the year.
In addition 10 serving as a protec-
ton and adding beauty to the school
grounds, such planting proves of great
educational value BY planting and
caring for trees the children are given
some knowledge of tree culture. which
will prove useful in later years. The
writer will gladly cooperate with To-
cal teachers in planning school
grounds and selecting trees ana
shrubs.
