FOR FATTENING THE LAMBS
Experiments With sheIled Corn and
Alfalfa Hay Furnish Valuable
Comparison for Breeder,

". c. Cofey, chief in sheep husband
~ at the University Of Illinois, has
completed his experiments on the pro.
portion Of shelled corn and alfalfa hay
for fattening Western lambs. The ex-
pertinent also furnishes valuable
comparison Of the feeding and market
qualities Of Rether and eve lambs and
shows the effects Of early and late
sheartng on the feeding operations as
a whole.
Western lambs which had been pur
chased on the Chicago market about a
year ago we're used in the experiment.
These we're divided into two main
groups. Group one was fed the largest
quantity OF corn that II was possible
to get the lambs 10 consume, with Just
enough hay to keep them healthy and
thriving, Group two was fed a large
amount OF hay, with Just enough corn
to put them IN choice market condi.
ton.
In experiment or group one, four lots

possible Ike two Of the lots OF wether
lambs In experiment No, three lots
Of lambs we're shared early and three

the largest gains, The difference be-
tween wether and eve lambs In feed

Shorn lambs ate more feed than IN.
shorn lambs In warm weather, but
there was little difference between
them in gains and no difference in
market quality, Lambs left IN the
fleece until the end Of the experiment
sheared from to 275 pounds per head
more than early.shorn lambs, and on
this account returned more profit.

prove 1t.

The crop gathering season is over
and all corn land that has not been
broken should be broken this month
and all the stalks, weeds and grass
Dlowed under Any meadow land
that you expect to plant in other
crops next year, should be turned
under this month, Flat break all
the land you can during December
It will also pay we'll to disk the land
as fast as you break it. Do not
leave the furow slice unbrOken and
unsettled, but pulyerize it into a
loose bed. It will hold plant food
better, and make a better reservoir
for water in the spring. Large clods
and furrow slices with air places in
between are hard on the land and
will tell in the next crop, Get rid
Of them by diskine A clod in the

Now is the time to look after your
seed for next year if you have not
already done 80. Cotton seed will
be scarce and high priced in the
spring. If you have not saved your
cotton seed do 50 without further
delay
Good seed corn is always scarce
in Arkansas. If you have good
variety Of corn stick to it and pick
out your best ears now and hang
them up in a good dry place where
they will be protected from the
freezing weather. A good way is to
swing them to the ralters in the
house over the living room, Never
keep more than two varieties Of
corn on the farm, one white and
the other yellow, Select your seed
carefully every year and build up
these two varieties. DO not be eX-
perimenting with every new variety
you happen to hear about. Remem-
ber that all good varieties Of corn
are produced as a result Of breeding
and careful seed selection year after
year without allowing any mixture.
It will do but little good to get the
very best variety unless you keep it
from mixing with other varieties
and are also careful in selecting
seed every year Without care In

BATTLE OF GORIZIA IS NOW ASSUMING
 GREAT PROPORTIONS
Italians Attack Commanding Posi- tions-As Trenches Are Carried Other Distractions Are
 Formed

Udine, Italy, July 22.-(Via Paris, 4:2o D. m)-The battle of Gorizia and the Carso plateau is assuming great propor- tons. From Gradisca and Cormons the Italians are attacking the Podgora and Sabotino mountains, which dominate Co., rizia. while the Italians are holding Playa, notwithstanding constant attacks, and forcing their way against Monte Santo. These mountains form Gorizia's greatest defenses.
 The top of Podgoria is crowned with five forts. with cannon that can reach to Cormons, while the whole slope is criss- with trenches with sliding armored shutters.
 Whenever the Italians gain part of a trench here the Austrians before fleeing ohstruct the remainder of the entrench- ments with a wall of quick drying ce- ment.

AustrO-German Forces Are Pressing Forward as the Slavs Fall Back Fighting StubbOrnly
TWO ATTACKS ON
 CITY HELD UP FOR
 THE TIME AT LEAST
Lull May Mean Germans Are Preparing to Catch the Russian Army if It Evacuates City

London. July 22.--dO,3O p. m)
 The Austro- German armies con
 tinue to press the Russian forces
 defending Warsaw and while they
 have made progress nt some
 points they have made no serious
 breach in the well fortified inner
 lines defending the city.
 The Russinns have been drawn
 back to tine bridgebead positions
 directly west of Warsaw and Into
 the fortress of Ivangorod, farther
 southenst on the NistuIn. But mt
 these points they probably can of
 fer more stubborn resistance.
 The two attacks that are being made from the north along the Narew river by Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and that which Field Marshal Won Mack enzen is directing from the southeast, between the Nistula and Bug rivers apparently have been held up, or the Germans are awaiting an opportune mcment to move forward and catch the Russia. Sarmies, should 1t be decided to evacuate Warsaw. Al any rate, Ber- lin does not claim any advance for Von Mackenzen, while the official re- port, although it states that the Rus sinns have ceased counter attacks along the Narew, does not mention any success by Won Hindenburg.
 However, should the Russians hold Warsaw it would surprise the military critics in the allied countries, who have discounted the loss of the city, attacked al al hv nOESaSSpQ of superiority in guns and munitions.
 Nicholas Position
 Grand Duke Nicholas, although de- livering stinging counter attacks and inilicting heavy losses on the Austio- Germans, must in the first place con sider the safety of his armies, the loss of which would be much more serious for the Russians than retirement from the Polish capital and the territory around it.
 In the region of Shawl on the Dubissa river and on the Mariampol-Ko road the Germans claim successes. but noth- ing is said of the fighting nearer Riga. for which city another German army Is heading.
 The Argonne and the Vosges still are tine scenes of the severe fighting in the west. The accounts from the opposing sides are as contradictory as ever, but it would appear that the French are the aggressors In the Vosges and have made some progress. and that the Cor mans have offset this by a partially successful offensive in the Argonne.
 The Italians continue their attacks along the Isonzo, the battle for the con quest of Gorizia and the Carso plateau larger proportions and moro mon being engaged than in any pre- vious battle on the Italian front. The Italians claim progress, while the Aus trians consistently report that all att tacks have been repulsed.
 A short official account issued to- night of recent fighting on the Gallipoli peninsula indicates that minor engage ments have favored the allies.
