TO Norway the Kaiser himself worked
for Germany and Germansm. 1t is
now known that he, like others, had
other purposes, to which will refer
later.
Germany was determined to work
hard for Norway's active, open support
in the war, and it was convinced that
Sweden would help. Things had been
go prepared that at the outbreak of the
war practically the only news Of the
war came from German sources. I'm
mediatey thereafter came the hordes Of
German missionaries, all OF them
preaching the cause OF Germany not
only to all officials but in all communi-
ties. The pamphlets increased and the
news agencies they controlled labored
without ceasing.
Throughout all this the Govern
ments were steadfast. They declared
their neutrality and they were sincere,
They would not lend either moral or
material support to the Kaiser Strict
prohibitions were put upon the eXporta-
ton OF all foodstuffs, and OF course abb
solute Contraband of war. Later on
these prohibitions were increased. and
what is more they were enforced When

several big business houses had been
ICaeavlly fined for shipping goods over

! have announced they would do the same,
but a their goods would have to go
/ through Denmark there is not much
difficulty in shutting Off their trade.
/ There Is no doubt, however. that at
the beginning of the war before THE
Governments had perfected the ma
lChinery to enforce their laws the three
countries sold what they could to Ger
many. In Copenhagen It was said
that the Kaiser's agents were making
desperate efforts to buy supplies, pay
ing any price in gold for them, They
are seeking copper, iron ore, and as |
understand gasoene. This is pointed
out by some as evidence that there are
not the immense stores in Germany
that Germany would have us believe.
Sweden and Norway as we'll as Den
mark entered into this trade with

iron to sell, Norway had horses Den

being raised, though this is decreas-
ing year by year as the farmers are
becoming educated better along this
line.
For a long time it has been the
rule that any place on the farm was
good enough for the hens and they
have often had to live and even raise
conditions, often being obliged to live
IN the hogpen and wade around
among their filth. What can be ex-
pected of poultry raised in any such
manner? Surely not very much. No
farmer would expect any return of
profit from any of the rest of his live
stock on the farm unless he fed and
cared for it well. The same rule holds
good with poultry. 1t is a fact that
the hens will give better and clearer
profit without feed, except what they
pick up, and without the proper at
tention (all but gathering up the eggs)
than any other living animal on the
farm. How much more could be ex-
pected of them, then, If the right kind
of attention be given them. The pro-
gressive farmer ought to make all
he can out of every branch on the
farm. Why pay all of his attention
to one line and entirely neglect an
other line? If he can be convinced
that 1t pays better to put in a stock
of purebred poultry instead of con-
tinuing to breed scrubs, he certainly
ought to make the change. and it is
up to us who believe in the best pay
ing the most profit, to show this sort
of farmer the better side of standard
bred poultry.

KEEP PUREBRED FOWLS
No Branch of Farming That Pays
Better Than Poultry.
Progress Made by Farmers In Greater
Part Of Country Is Encouraging
Attention to Details Es-
sentisl TO Success.

The progress made by the farmers
raising poultry in the greater part OF
the United States in the past few
years is not only remarkable, but is
very encouraging to those who are
trying to establish this very impor-
tant branch of farming on bread
er and more profitable basis than it
has heretofore occupied. But still there
Is plenty of room for further prog
ress and advancement. Some of the
occupants of farms who raise poultry
being rather slow in learning the diff
ference between haphazard methods
and inferior stock, and careful, meth
odical work with purebred fowls, you
can easily see from the returns Of
their efforts that the state experiment
stations are doing much to overcome
this sort of poultry work and to show
these farmers who have neglected
poultry altogether as not paying that
there is indeed no branch of farming
that pays better, when equal attention
is given to modern methods and the
little details which are now consid-
cred as absolutely essential to success
with poultry.
Until very recently the poultry on
most farms has been a mixture of all
sorts and breeds all running togeth-
er, and you might travel sor miles
and visit farms and not be able to
see one purebred fowl of standard
variety. But that time has passed
and many farmers are keeping Moth
ing but purebred fowls. though there
is still far too much of the mongrel
variety which is of very little value

MUCH HORSE POWER is LOST
Full Use of Animals Would Materially
Reduce Cost of Crop Production
More Work Is Urged.
(By W. J. sPILLMAN.)


Carefully conducted Investigations
by the agricultural department of the
University of Minnesota, as well as
those conducted by the Office of farm
management of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, show that
under ordinary conditions on Ameri-
can farms work horses are utilized
only about three and a half hours a
day on the average. Horse power is
thus utilized to less than half its ca
pacity. Per unit of work done this
power costs more than twice what it
should cost The full utilization of the
power actually available would thus
reduce materially the cost of produc-
ing crops. The cost of keeping work
horse is on the average about $125 a
year. The average utilization of the
horse is about 1880 hours year, at
an hourly cost of ten cents per hour.
If we double the number of hours
work the horse does--and this can be
done without injury to the animal
we reduce the hourly cost to five
cents.

DEATH CONSTANT COMPANION
Letter Describing Operations Of Arm

of Daring Work of Men Who

Open.

New York.-The following letter
from a soldier in the British army,
somewhere in France" has been re-
ceived in this city by the father of
the writer:
Il expect you are wondering what
we are doing up here for the past
week or so? AS operations are con-
cluded now-or anyway those in which
our division has been concerned
think I'm at liberty to give you some
idea of what's been done without fear
OF falling foul of the censor.
You'll recollect all the trouble a
short while back about a chateau,
its stables and a crater-which we
have continually been disputing over
with the Boches-which they finally
kicked US out of with liquid fire and
sundry other horrors? Well, the diyi-
sion on that section got pretty badly
mauled and the position became most
uncomfortable. So about ten days ago
our division was told off to prepare
an attack and to restore the situation

HOW TO REMOVE RUSTY NUTS
Soaking With Kerosene Is Often Suf-
ficient, but Easier Method Is to
Use Hot rs" Wrench,

By E. w. HAMILTON, Idaho Expert
ment Station)
Soaking the nuts for hours with ker.
osene is often sufficient for loosening
them.
A much quicker method, and one
that is highly satisfactory, is to heat
the nut with an S wrench. Heat the
proper end to bright red, then place
same on the nut, removing wrench
after a few minutes. The nut can
now be readily removed with another
wrench. The nut is expanded by the
heat, but not the bolt, thus loosening
the nut.
Do not try to turn the nut off with
the hot wrench, as it is easily strained
when hot.

TREAT BARB-WIRE INJURIES
Do Not Apply Axle Grease or Any
Rancid Ointment to Wound-Re-
move All Foreign Substances.
By DIR. A. s. ALEXANDER, Wisconsin
fsrflooaN 4h X

By DR.. A. S. ALEXANDER. Wisconsin
Agricultural Coilege)
This is the season Of the year when
stockmen are most frequently an
noyed with barb-wire injuries to their
horses. Just a few things to bear
in mind ct such times suggested:
After barb-wire accident, do not
apply axle grease or any rancid ONT
ment to the wound Wash the wound
thoroughly with warm water. Then
clip the hair as close as possible
around it, and wash again to remove
any hair or other foreign substance.
When sand or hair has lodged in
the depths of deep cut never use a
wet sponge to clean it out Use a
piece of absorbent cotton or cotton
batting. There will be much less risk
of infection.
1t will be useless to put stitches in
wound that is very deep or ragged,
or that is located in a place not in
perfect rest when the animal is max
ing natural movements.
Dry busting powder has healing
effect on barb-wire wounds and other
large, moist cuts and abrasions. Such
a powder may be prepared cheaply by
mixing together equal parts of slaked
lime, sulphur and charcoal.
Prevent lockjaw dangers in nail
wounds of the hoof by opening them
up freely, which provides drainage for
serum and pus. Saturate with solu-
ton of corrosive sublimate and water
in the proportion of to 500. Cover
with busting powder, absorbent cotton
and bandage. This treatment should
be repeated daily until the wound is
healed.

time of it.
Came 1.-THE Day."
There have been a good many
wounded in the battery recently, but
none killed. We have had two guns
hit and knocked cut as well, but feel
sure the enemy haven't really located
US, because they've never been able
to stop us firing. and only put over
half a dozen rounds during the big
show yesterday.
The other battery in our brigade
has not been so lucky. They've had
two officers wounded and quite q
number of men killed.
We'll. to resume: l eventually got
all our accommodating and registra-
ton done, but not until I'd spent sew
eral days in this horrible zone and was
almost worn out. Then, yesterday
morning at a quarter of three a. M.
came the day. 1t started with half
ers trenches by all our guns, and dur.
ing this time our infantry crept up
under cover of darkness. Next, at an
arranged moment, all guns were
turned to the left, and onto other pre-
arranged points, so as to form a flank
ing wall of fire while the infantry got
in. Finally we all switched on to our
final points and kept up several hours
bombarding of the enemy's communi-
cation and reserve trenches, while our
infantry consolidated the positions
gained. 1t was all perfectly success
full, and we accomplished everything
we were ordered to do.
Thanked for Their Work.
"All through the day the Deutschers
tried to counter-attack, but we easily
beat them off each time. Last night
was absolutely quiet and we all got
a good nights sleep. We have re-
ceived kilograms from the commander
of the Second army and also from the
commander in chief, thanking US for
doing the job so well and generally
buttering us up. Our corps command.
er has also wired to US of the artillery.
thanking us for the perfect co-opera.

we're all pleased. and the Sixth divi-
sion isyvery bucked at having brought
off the job o. X. Furthermore, they
say that he couldn't have continued to
hold Ypres without taking the posi-
tions we've got, and better still, they
say that the division is now coming
out for a rest.
Il suppose this has only been a
minor show, but there were a good
many thousand men engaged. and we
really had battle with the Boches
and whacked them.
Il do wish the end would come in
sight, for I'm absolutely tired of the
whole thing, and want to get home.
1t rather looks as if we're in for an
other winter out here.
I'VE had unlimited ammunition for
this little show, so perhaps things are
bucking up in that direction. All the
same we didn't fire nearly as much
a. we could have done, but specialized
in accuracy. They say that they found
all our registered points full of dead
Boches and smashed-up machine
guns"

ENEMY OF THE GRAssHoPPER
Nothing TO Be Gained by Encouraging
Blister 5eetles-Destroy All Grass
hopper Eggs In the Fall.

Among the natural enemies Of the
grasshoppers are the blister beetles
or old-fashioned potato bugs, the
larvae of which subsist almost wholly
ON grasshopper eggs. The blister
beetles become very abundant in
grasshopper years when food is plen-
tiful. However, little or nothing is
gained by substituting a plague of
blister beetles for plague of grass
hoppers and the wiser course is to
destroy as many grasshopper eggs as
possible in the fall, thereby cutting
off the development OF both sorts of
pests.
