OUTSIDE
BIG WAR THEATERS

In a score Of regions there has
been fighting which would have held
worldwide attention were 1t not for
the mighty battle lines in France and
Poland.
Servia's W war was a greater trial
to her than either Of the two proceed
ing Balkan struggles. Assisted by
Montenegro, the little Slavic nation
twice threw the hosts of Franz Josef
beyond her borders and inflicted
losses of about 100000 men, but she
suffered severely herself.
The Austrians invaded Serbia in
great force about August Is and pene-
trated to the Jadar river, where a
great ive-day battle ended in the
rout Of the Teutons.
The Austrians returned soon in
stronger force than ever. They
reached Valjevo, where on November
II the Serbians met a defeat.
With their supply Of artillery am
munition exhausted, the serbians now
had to retreat. The Austrians, be-
lieving them crushed, withdrew six
army corps for re-enforcements
against the victorious Russians In Ca
licia.
Shells and English tars with naval
guns reached the Serbians, and on
December s they turned on the Aus
TRANS and cut them to pieces.
The entry Of Turkey into the war
was marked by a. brave, but foolhardy
attempt to invade Egypt. Great Brit
aims Indian and colonial troops threw
the invaders back with heavy losses.
British and Japanese troops invest.
ed the fortified German port Of Using
tau, China, and after a siege Of a few
weeks the defenders gave UP the hope
less struggle.
A section Of the Boer population of
South Africa revolted. The revolt
was put down by a Boer, Premier
Botha. He then invaded German
Southwest Africa, and after a long
campaign in the waterless deserts
captured the greatly outnumbered
Germans (July 81.
After taking t~hree-quarters of a year
to arm herself to the teeth, Italy at
tackled Austria this spring. The effect
of the entry of Italy upon the arena
has not yet been marked.

With BARNS
FULL OF STOCK
Didn't Look Much Like Hard
Times in Western Canada.

A. Meyer, who left one Of the best
Counties in Minnesota, probably be-
aus he got a good price for his ex.
cellent farm, and left for the Canadian
West, writes to his local paper, the
Bagley Independent. His story is well
worth repeating. He says:
ITO say / was greatly surprised
when / reached Saskatchewan and Al
berta would be expressing it mildly.
In a country where so much suffering
was reported, / found everyone in
good circumstances, and especially
all our friends who have left Clearwa-
ter and Polk counties. They all have
good homes and those who we're re-
ported to have sold their stock through
lack of feed, / found with their barns
full Of stock, and it did not look very
much like hard times. They have
from 100 acres to two sections Of the
finest land that can be found.
Those that left here two or three
years ago have from 100 to 400 acres
in crops this year.
Prospects for a bumper crop are
splendid. 1t is a little cold now, but
nothing Is frosted, either in gardens
or fields. Land can be bought quite
reasonably here from those who vol
unteered their services in the Euro
pean war. Here are certainly the
best opportunities for securing a good
home with a. farm and independence
for life in a short time. Before I
started I heard that prices were SO
high. Flour was reported at $12 per
hundred it is $4.25 here. In the west
all the groceries can be purchased
for nearly the same as in MINI. The
only article that I found higher
was kerosene at IS cts per gallon.
When ! saw the land I wondered why
people do not live where they pro-
duce enough from the soil to make a
comfortable living. We visited T. T.
Safer. John Dahls, ". J. and r. D.
Hollis, Martin Halmen, Ole Halvorson,
VIM. Walker and Geo. Colby, all
from Bagley. We found well and pros
porous farmers who wished to be re-
membered to all their Bagley friends"

FIRST YEAR OF THE
WAR ON THE SEA

AT the end OF the first year
of war not a German lighting
craft, except submarines, is
known to be at large outside
the Baltic sea. The Austrian
warships are confined to the up
per Adriatic and the Turkish
feet to the Sea of Marmora
and adjacent straits. The mer-
chant marine of the central
European powers has disap-
peared utterly from the ocean
highways. Sixty million dol
lars worth of German shipping
lies idle in the docks of New
York, while several times as
much is bottled up elsewhere.
At the same time the German
submarines have inflicted enor-
nous losses of allied shipping.
While both sides have prob
ably concealed many losses,
the following is a fairly accu-
date summary of the number
Of craft which have been de-
stroyed:

DAIRYNOITy

Keep salt before the COWS at all times.
 Regularity in feeding is of supreme importance with the dairy cow
 Keep the floors warm Cold floors cause much loss in milk in winter. In salting butter one ounce of salt to a pound of butter is generally about right.
 Dairy barn ventilation should be fur nished by system. not by cracks and drafts.
 The successful dairyman is the man who puts thought into his work. He is student of conditions.
 Now about those COW stables. Don't forget that hole in the side of the COW barn means hole in the pocket. On warm days let the COWS out in the yard for change and to get in the sun. When cold keep them in the stables.
 Just cant afford to let the cows lose flesh or get a setback. Remem- Der it costs money to get an animal in good condition
 
 Many times the COW that does not yield a profit at the pail Is just as liberal an eater at the manager as the COW that does make you money every day.
 Feed cows daily one pound of grain for every three pounds of milk pro duced. twenty-five to forty pounds of corn silage, and what clover or alfalfa hay they will eat.
 Very frequently COW that Is only fair as to breeding and productive ca pacity will do better in the hands of good dairyman than good COW under poor management

PREPARE FOWLS FOR MARKET
Dry-Picking Method Allowable for Broilers OnIy-Attraetiveiy Dressed
 Poultry Sells Itself.

Either scalding or the dry-picking method can be used for fowls intended for market, but for broilers only the dry-picking method is allowable. A chick only few weeks old is very tender bird, but if scalded it will be found impossible to pick it without occasionally rubbing little of the skin off. These spots will darken and give the broiler a stale look. The scala ing will also increase the tendency to decay. With dry picking not only will the bird keep much longer, but the natural firmness of the flesh pre- vents all fear of skinning.
 The more neatly C-.rcass is dressed, the better the chance to sell it to a good trade Attractively dressed poultry sells itself. while inferior stuff goes begging.
 Dry picked poultry will stand larger shipments than those that are scalded. The carcass should be dressed inn mediately after being killed. To al- low the feathers to remain on for SeNeTdi nOuTS VIII HdSteH ueCoupoSi- tion.
 When scalding poultry for market it is best to first dry-pick the legs, so that they will not necessarily be placed in the water and change color. Neither the heads nor the feet should touch the water. The water ought to be as near the boiling point as pos sible, without boiling.

Rub them repeatedly with old news papers. Sunshine in winter Is the greatest of tonics.
 When poultrymen and farmers real ize that the sooner they follow na- lures plan and make the winter months as near like spring and sum- mer months. the sooner they will real ize the height of their ambition-win- ter eggs. Getting winter eggs is really quite easy if given a little thought and study. Using the gray matter in your skull will make you a successful poultryman.
 Poultry keepers may easily reduce the percentage of dirty or soiled eggs, and losses entailed to insignificant fig ures
 First, an ample number of nests is. of course. necessary. but an ample number means no more, than, and probably not as many as. are usually directed by poultry writers. Laying houses are, as a rule, provided with a sufficient number, but where the keeper falls down is in failing to sup ply enough nesting material and floor litter.
 Obviously the nesting material must be clean. or the eggs become soiled by

Angle of one end so the COW does not lie on a sharp corner. make two half-diamond cuts in these pieces and set in the cross pieces. These are made of by 3 and are se- curely nailed. If the gutter is very wide you may have to put in three strips, as a COW used to standing in the gutter will soon find she can get her feet down between the strips. If you have two or more COWS that have this trick stand them together. You can make the strips long enough for several cows and put extra ? by 4 pieces in to support the strips. Lift the rack and place 1t back to the wall before turning out the cows. This de- vice effectively cures your heifers of the habit
