'GERliags aElD AT yPREs'


Londssl Field Marshal Htr John

announced the eonclaslon Of another
German at.enps To break thruiEh the
allied Inns around Yprss ard eicng

cns Of sha most sangairary battles Of
the war.
In his report to London he says.

This. however. only brings 10 afl end
tue first phAse Of thu battle. for the
allies have yst 70 win hack the ground
lost In the great German swesp. FOR
this purpose they are now delivering
eonntenaisaeks against the German
lines. Only at one place tsen-
straats--,haye the Germans kept their
footing en- the western bank Of the
canal. while to the north Of YpFes :he
positions rsmain much as they we're.
the allies making no claims TO an ad-
vance there and the Germans report
Ing that all British attacks have been
repuised.
To hold these lines the Germans
have brought up further re.enforee-
msnts, and Belgium, behind them. has
been denuded OF troops. The towns
and villages In Belgium are being
guarded by only handful Of sentries.
Fighting also continues Ia Cham
payne, where the Germans claim the
capture OF a strong French position in
the Argonne aad the Woevre, =sere
the French say they are progressing.
and In the vosges. where both sides
claim to be In possession OF Hartmans'
Weilerkopf. II is probable that this
mountain. which commands the plains
OF Alsace. has changed hsads. several
times, and this would account for the
contradictory reports.
The Russians and Anstro-Germsn
are heavily engaged In the region OF
uzsek Pass, In the Cafpathians. and
In the direction Of Stry, where an al

Ensilage Feeding.

The feeding of ensilage TO beef
and dairy cattle. swine, horses and
sheep has grown to such vast pro-
portions that many OF the large feed
ers OF the country use it as the main
ration. The various Government Ex-
pertinent Stations and State Agricul-
tural Colleges have issued bulletins
bearing on this subject and by means
of actual feeding experiments and
cost Keeping systems they have ar
rived at conclusive results in dollars
ana cents. Space does not permit our
reproducing them at length. but one
instance very typical OF all shows that
butter fat was produced for S.131 per
pound with silage. and s.221 per
pound without silage; and that milk
was produced for $.667 per 100
pounds with silage, and s1.O55 with
out silage
Exhaustive tests have shown that
greater gains can be made by steers
with silage ration than any other
feed; that silage fed steers show less
shrinkage, and that they command
S.25 and $50 per 100 lbs. premium
on the market, for sickness and con-
dition. Professor j. NJ. Evard. of the
Iowa State College, at Ames. reports
of test that the animals fed on sill
age made cheaper gains, lost less in
and returned greater pro-
MT than other animals in the test fed
on clover hay as roughage. The sill
age fed steers put on gains at n net
cost OF s2.O1 per 100 pounds less
than the clover hay fed steers; and
the best lot of silage fed steers made
a proflt of $23.46 per animal as
against $17.27 for those fed on clo-
yer hay. An Indiana experiment
shows difference of $244 per 100
pounds in favor of silage.
In addition to cattle, experiments
nave shown the advantage of feeding
sllage as succulent winter feed to
breeding ewes, both in gain of flesh.
larger percentage of healthy lambs.
and less cost. In fattening lambs for
market silage fed lambs showed SUI
perior on the hook, besides less cost
IN the fattening process. In an ex-
pertinent at the Pennsylvania Expert |
nent Station it was determined that |
horses fed silage as a portion OF their
'ation consumed less grain, made
-he1r gain at less cost per pound. and
we're sleeker and better finished than
when fed rations not containing sill
'ge Silage, however, should be fed
