CENTENARY OF AMUSEMENT OF
VAPOLEON- To ELBA-

the allied forces of Great Britain. Austria,
Russia and Prussia against France.
The great powers agreed to unite for
the overthrow of Napoleon, who had just
returned from Elba. The Duke of Wei
llngton was placed in command with the
Prussians united under Field Marshal
Blucher and the forces of Austria and
Russia under Prince Schwarzenburg.
The line occupied by the two armies of
Wellington and Butcher may be roughly
described as extending about fifteen miles
from Ostend through Brussels to Liege
and the eastern part of Belgium.
Napoleon decided to strike his blow be-
1ore the enemy was ready to receive him,
yet he wished to postpone the movement
long enough to gather his own force The
Prusslans under Blucller, with headquar-
ters at Namur. were the first to be ready
for action. OF this Napoleon was aware
and, accordingly, decided to strike his
first blow before Wellington could come
to support his ally
Napoleon naturally attached great i'm
portance to the fact that Wellingon's s
army depended upon the channel ports
for its supplies, and Bluchers upon the
Rhlne- He thought that either army in
case of defeat would naturally fall toward
Its base and thus the two armies would
be driven apart
But Wellington thought that he would
attack from the northwest. for the pur-
pose of cutting off the British and Dutch
from their line Of supplies, and in his
memorandum. written after the war, he
stated that he believed that this point
might have been attacked with greater
success.
At the beginning of the campaign the

mont. at the left of the line. for the pur-
pose of diverting attention from the more
formidable attack soon to be made on
the center. But the walls had been
pierced with portfolios and British guns
successfully repulsed the onslaught.
The attacking force was increased
until it numbered about 1000, but
their efforts We're so wasteful that
very few We're left to participate in the
assault against the main line.
Napoleons plan was to make the
main attack upon the center for the
purpose of taking the high ground
where the Wavre turnpike joins that
from Charlerol. He placed an enor-
front of his line and continued to fight
for an hour and half at range of
less than third of a mile into the
allies lines.
The attack was to be made in four
columns Of twenty-four, seven ranks
deep. This unusual arrangement
proved so unwieldly that when the as
sd ult came it tended only to confusion.
At first it swept everything before 1t,
but brigades of heavy cavalry charged
them so furiouSly that they were soon
staggered.
At this point Napoleon saw the Prus-
slams approaching in such mass as to
require his immediate attention. He
withdrew his 9Th Corps and weakened
this section of his line until it was
5000 men less than Wellington's.
His next movement was an attack
upon the farmhouse at La Haye Saint.
This point was taken with d vast

given to the Prussians. who had been

Those who have used feeding floors
for their hogs have found them to be
good grain-savers, and concrete feed
ing-foors are coming into favor.
Such floor should be 6 inches thick,
and, if not laid against the barnyard
pavement, should have a curb extend
ing from IL to Is inches below the
surface Of the ground. This will pre-
vent the hogs from roofing under the
floor. The floor should slope slightly
toward one corner in order to carry off
rain, or water used in washing. A
rim around the outside edge will pre-
vent grain from being pushed off into
the mud.
For feeding-t1oors concrete should be
mixed in the portion Of l sack Of
Portland cement, 2 cubic feet of clean
coarse sand, graded up to one fourth
of an inch, and cubic feet Of hard
durable gravel or broken stone from
one-fourth Of an inch to one inch in
diameter. Eleven sacks Of cement will
make enough concrete for 100 square
feet Of feeding-foor. The cod crete
should be thoroughly mixed and should
contain enough water to make the mass
quaky so that the concrete will rs at

be lightly tamped, however, then lev

may be laid in slabs each 6 1"et

PL0W WITH CARE; THERE'S A
REASON

The chief. reason for blowing is to
put: the soil in shape to produce good
crops. For best results the blowing
must be done at the right time. Grain
crops in particular need generous sup
plies of readily available plant food
early in the season. Therefore, in the
northwest early fall blowing for grain
crops is to be preferred. This allows
the needed changes that take place in
loosened soil to get started early and
to continue until the ground is frozen.
The result in productive soils is the
accumulation throughout the cool fall
months of plant food and this is east
ly taken up by the grain plants the
following spring.
For corn, black loan soils should be
plowed in the fall. On the heavier
clay soils spring blowing for corn is
often preferable.
Good blowing means more than
making the field appear black. It
means more than making straight fur
rows. However, good plowman usu-
ally makes straig ht burrows. In we'll
'plowed field the soil is stirred and pull
verified to the depth indicated as ne
cessary by the kind of soil and the
crop to be grown; and the stubble and
rubbish are completely turned under
where it will be out of the way and
quickly decomposed. For most crops,
deep, rather than shallow blowing, is
the best practice.
To do good work with a minimum of
power, plows must be equipped with
properly shaped and sharpened shares.
A good share allows pillow to run true
and little or no effort is necessary to
hold it in place.
To turn under all rubbish a good
jointer properly adjusted is necessary.
No stubble or weeds are left sticking
up between the burrows where a good
jointer is used.
Keep the plowshare properly shaped
and sharpened. Use a iointer so that
all rubbish is turned under completely.
Increase the depth Of blowing an inch
or two each year for several seasons

LACK OF CARE AN AID TO THE
GERM

Improper food, impure drinking wa
ter, lack of cleanliness, bad drainage,
absence Of sunshine, insufficient venti-
lation, over work, exposure to ex-
tremes Of heat and cold-all or these
contribute to loss by disease among
farm animals. They do not kill Of
themselves, but they weaken the ami
mall powers Of resistance against dis
ease germs. 1t is because Of this fact
that the germs of tuberculosis, of an
thrax, Of CHAMBERS, of black leg, Of
cholera, and of other diseases are able
to get in their deadly work.
Careful attention to food, water,
drainage, the admission of sunshine
and pure air, the need Of rest, the pre-
vention of exposure, therefore, means
health to ones animals, and that means
more money in pocket.
