so far as has been announced officially
no definite step has been taken in the
direction of a revival of the Balkan
league and its adhesion TO the cause of

frmati0n today of various rumors
which excited London yesterday. chief
Of which were reports that Bulgaria
had declared war against Turkey and
would assist in the attempt to force
the DardanelIes.
The situation brought about by the
sinking of the Arabic is stiIl eliciting
comment from the English press,
which characterizes unofficial German
explanations as inadequate. but inter
prets efforts to explain the disaster as
evidence Of Germauy's realization that
her relations which the United States

The furious efforts of the Austro-
German armies along the eastern front
in the last q hours have not been as
fruitful as usual in respect Of the
amount of ground gained. which is
taken to mean that they have now

that further advances have been

Another explanation Of the pause in
the Austro-G German advance against

being held up by continual rain and

and artillery fire.

BABIES KITS

The work of the Secours National
Committee of New York City in send
ing comfort kits to the destitute chill
dren of France has awakened the in
terest Of Americans throughout this
country. The responses have been
numerous and generous, but the need
for relief is still great. Many of these
unfortunates are homeless; all of
them are helpless and must depend
upon others for actual existence. They
are looking to those of generous hearts
to supply them with the positive nee
essities of life. That is what the Sc
cours National, through it's Treasurer,
Mrs. Whitney Warren, is trying to do
for the war orphans and homeless
waits of invaded France.
There are thousands Of these little
ones who need help. Many are babies.

Many more are those who, taken cap

tives by the Germans, are now being
turned back to France.
One of the most tragic things about
this terrible situation is that in the
disposal of the prisoners, hundreds OF
small children have been separated
from their parents. These cannot talk
and therefore cannot give their names
or any information whatever about
themselves. While they have been
tagged by the Germans, these tags
mean nothing to the French. 1t is
appalling to think of the mixup of
identities that must follow such a sys.
TEN as has been resorted to by the
Germans in the disposal Of these civil
prisoners.
One cannot but be reminded of Rev
dictionary days by this struggle in
which France is now engaged. America
fought for her liberty then, and it was
the French Republic hat helped her
to win it. And it was the F.. ench peo-
pie in those trying days who not only
sent ships and men and munitions of
war, but who clothed the ragged Con-
tinental soldiers and safeguarded them
from the exposure of icy winter. 1t is
the descendants Of these friends
across the sea who are fighting today

children who are in need and suffer
ing; their helpless little children whom
Americans are asked to aid.
These pathetic little figures, in the
shadow Of hopeless despair, form a
striking, a tragic contrast to the hap
by and prosperous children of America.
1t is to these children as well as
their elders that the little French
waits are stretching out their hands in
mute appeal. Not in aid of the sol
diers in the fighting branch, nor for
munitions of war does the Secours Ma
tional ask for aid. 1t is in the name
of humanity that the comfort kits are
being sent to these unfortunate ones.
1t is for little children who cannot
help themselves that the Secours Ma
tional appeals for funds.
A donation of two dollars ($2) means
that n of these needy waits will be
clothed and made happy. This small
sum may be the means of saving the
life of one of these children.
Will you help them?

sumed more than 800 pounds of water
a day. This large quantity of water
Is necessary not only for the forma-
ton of milk but also for the digestion
and assimilation of the large quantities
Of food consumed, much Of which is
roughage. 1t is not wise to permit
cows TO drink large amounts of ice
cold water. and in order to
them 10 drink a sufficient amount of
water in extremely cold weather it is
necessary to warm the water slightly.
Unless considerable care is taken
large numbers Of bacteria may find
their way into the milk during the pro-
cess Of milking. Cows should be milk
ed in clean, well-lighted stables. After
grooming and before milking the I'D
ders, TANKS, and bellies of the COWS
should be carefully wiped with a damp
cloth 10 remove any dust or loose hairs
which might fall into the milk pail
Only those persons who are free from
communicable disease should be allow
ed TO handle milk or even enter the
stable or dairy house.
After the COWS are prepared for
milking each mixer should thoroughly
wash his hands and put on a pair Of
clean oyeralls and a jumper or wear
a suit which is used for no other
purpose. The suit must be kept clean
and occasionally sterilized with steam
or by boiling in water.

meath. Increase the diameter in this
way until a height of 7 or s feet is
reached. This forms the bulge.
Always keep the middle high and
firmly tramped. Do not tramp the
outer layer at all. If possible, have
loads pitched from different sides of
the stack to obtain more even tramp
ing.
From the bulge the stack should
taper slowly to a point. This is done
by laying the bundles now with the
short side of the slanting butt upper
most, gradually decreasing the dia-
meter.
Keep the middle high and well
tramped-so high that the beginner

slide off. Sometimes they will, but
that is better than having rain water
soak in.
At the peak, which should be 20 to
"a feet from the ground, the bundles
will overlap, and the cap sheaf should
be securely fastened by driving a 6-foot
stake into the top of the stack. Stacks
we'll built should shed water perfectly.
When threshing can be done early,
the most economical method is to
thresh directly from the shock. Thresh
when the grain is dry either before or
after it has gone through the sweat.
II the grain is too dry, it will crack
BADLY in threshing.
Wheat threshed before sweating in
the shock will go through the sweat
in the bins, giving the grain a darker
and richer color. Grain that is thresh-
ed when damp will sweat too much
and become hot and bin burnt. When
grain is stacked it should be allowed to
go through the sweat before thresh-
ing.
Community threshing is desirable
where the farms are not large. The
individual farmer will get his thresh-
ing done more rapidly and economical
ly where a group of farmers can own
and operate a threshing outfit together.
See that the separator is we'll clean.
before the threshing is started, in
order to prevent the mixture of grain
and the scattering of weed seed from
neighboring farms.
Watch carefully the working of the
machine to see that the grain is en-
tirely removed from the straw and
the chaff is blown out.
Stack the straw, use it as feed or
bedding for live stock, and so convert
it into manure.
