Tt is possible, but hardly probable, that the serious outbreak of foot and mouth disease, which caused millions of dollars of loss to cattlemen of many Northern states.win attack Arkansas live stock" This is the statement of Dr. J. F. Gibson, veterinary field agent of the Bureau of Animal Indus try Of the United States Department of Agriculture. Dr Gibson based his ass rtion on the stringency of Arkan- saS laws governing the importation of cattle and also because very few cattle are shipped into Arkansas from those states affected by the recent foot and mouth plague. The report from Kansas was only a scare" said pr. Gibson The animals in the netghborhood of Wichita were found to be suffering from an aggravated form of Comatitis"

WINTER COMFORT FOR COWS
Good Shelter Should Be Provided and
 Liberal Supply of Feed Laid in 10 Keep Up Milk Flow.

This is the season of the year when the dairy farmer should take steps to make his COWS comfortable during the winter months. An uncomfortable COW is not good producer. Good shelter should be provided and sup ply of the right kind of feed laid in. so that the milk flow will not suffer at a time when the market prices are the best. This subject Is discussed by R. NJ. Washburn of the Minnesota College of Agriculture. as follows.
 Cold winds and rains are costly. They chill the COW, just as they would a warm stove. entailine the burning of more fuel To avoid this the farm CT should provide protection early.
 The ration at this tran-tion period between summer pasturing and win ter feeding is important Any COW that has been giving milk since last spring will decrease her flow rapidly if she is not fed liborally. The result will be a greatly reduced profit from the dairy herd during the winter months
 We are nearing the season when butterfat brings the highest price. Farmers will recognize the wisdom of keeping up the milk flow through this period
 T do not advocate the feeding of much grain at this time. What is fed should merely supplement ra- ton composed largely of late grasses. pumpkins. soft-shelled squash. roots and small potatoes.
 Many of the farmers do not be- neve that the small potatoes arc worth picking up. not realizing that five pounds of potatoes are worth as much as one pound of grain. They may be brought in and put on tho barn floor. where II they are GOV cred with hay to keep off the frnsts and prevent light freezing. they can be kept for long time and will take the place ot considerable amount of expensive grain or mill feed. Frozen potatoes however should not be fed to COWS They react unfavorahly on the digestive tract
 "Herding the cows on the young clover iu the wheat and oats stubble Is a good plan. They will get much Of value from this young growth.

SUCCULENT FEEDS FOR COWS
About Same Amounts as Turnjps or Beets-Start Slowly.

Apples and potatoes are both good succulent foods for COWS if fed prop erly When these products are fed to COWS they are usually very cheap, and people feed them too literally. They should be fed in about the same amounts as turnips or beets Start in with a small amount, just n few. and gradually increase till zach COW is eating peck at feed. You could feed them twice day if desired. but don't feed more than half bushel daily
 Fed in this way they will not dry up your COWS. but will tend to in- crease the flow Where people have had trouble is by feeding entirely too many apples or potatoes al feed. This gets the COW out of condition and, Of course, decreases the flow of milk Care must be taken in feeding apples or potatoes, or the COWS are liable 10 choke. There is little dan ger when fed in their stalls, but if fed in the lot. one COW drives another. causing her to swallow the apple be- fore she chews it.

According to Aetrograd. Russian successes are reported officially from the battle front before Warsaw and from that around Cracow, but with. out materially changing the general situation in these regions Especially vicious attacks have been made by the Germans between Pinczow. 40 miles north of CraCoW. and Nowmciasto korczyn. at the junction of the Nida and Nistula rivers.
 In this place the Austrians initiated the tactics of the Germans and tried to force passage by sheer weight and numbers Time after time they ad- vanccd in solid formation against the Russian front in the face of a heavy artillery Ire. The net result after two days fighting December 22 and 2S- Vas the capture by the Russians of nearly 5.e09 prisoners including 50 officers and the retention by the Rus sians of the left bank of the Nida. where they are strongly entrcnched
 Three months aro the same Aus trian troops opposed the first Russian advance on Cracow.
 Christmas brought no rest to the emhattled European armies IL found the Russians still fighting desperately in the snows of Poland against the fierce attacks of the German and Aus trian allies. Przemvsl still in the grip Of the invading army; the French making spasmodtc thrusts against the long German lines of trenches in northern and northeastern France. and the British and Belciaus engaged in almost hand .to-hand warfare against the German trenches in west Belgium.
 Although armies of the allies have scored some successes in the battles in the west. they nre meeting with stubborn resistance and military men warn the public that very heavy casualty lists must be expected before any serious impression can be made on the German entrenchments
 Activity seems to have been resum- ed along the Belgian coast. for il is announced slight progress has been made by the allies between the sea and the road from Nieuport to West Ende Al other points similar fight ing is proceeding with varying for. tunes.
 Tho Eirmen on both sides have been extremely busy and the airships are swarming over Belgium. the aviators rceonnoitering movements of oppos. ing troops and dropping occasional bombs, BruEes and Brussels have been visited by ayiators from the ranks of the allies while Bethune and other towns in northern France have received attentions from the Ger. mans
