Helmets Rare Trophies.

London, June 12.-German helmets,
Notwithstanding the thousands Of Ger
mans who have been killed. wounded
and captured. are still rare trophies at
the British front. There are two chief
reasons for this.
The first is that the Germans Of late
have been wearing caps; the second
that the dead and wounded between
the lines, on whom most of the he'll
NETS are to be found, are In no mans
land, where ii is almost sure death to
venture.
The British soldier appreciates the
fact that these helmets are bringing
fancy prices in Paris. London and New
York, and he is loath TO part with any
trophy except for n good sum. A reg
ular clearing house for them has been
established, and hundreds are being
sent to England for sale to dealers and
others.

To grow well roots of all grasses must
have air. All grass land becomes soil
bound. Air and nitrogen cannot reach
the roots. Thorough disking in the
spring is excellent for the pasture. II
not only loosens the soil, but scatters
the manure deposited by cows, thus en-
riching large areas. Otherwise such
deposits remain in ore spotand kill out
the grass underneath them. Disking
and narrowing alone improve pastures
wonderfully. as any II can demon
strate to himself by just disking and
narrowing a small strip across any por-
ton Of any pasture. Further improve
ment will result from mixing together
several varieties of grass seed and SOW
ing a few pounds over each acre after
disking. to be narrowed into the soil.
1t is customary for dairymen to al
low manure to accumulate in he barn
yard all summer because they believe
there is no place to spread it. A veri-
table breeding spot is thus provided Tor
flies. and daily the IL becomes
less valuable.
The place to put manure in the sum-
mer is OH the pastures. Cows will re-
fuse to eat grass where manure a
Just been applied. but this is not an
Objectionable fact. as the grass there
will have a. chance to make Il new
start. The next rain will cleanse the
grass, beat the III to the ground
and dissolve the fertilizing elements
from it and carry them into the soil.
Then the grasses will make a new
start and grow vigorously. Where the
manure has been applied grass will be
green and ~luxuriant. There the cows
will Craze. The milk flow will be in
creased. or at least it will be maintain
ed. 1t is just as profitable to farm
and fertilize pastures as other fields,
and cash returns come more quickly.

DEFECTIVE UDDERs.
Carc!essness In Handling Calves Often
RESPONSIBLE For This Condition.

feSponstpie Tor ms Conofticn.
Defective udders often result from
the pernicious practice of calves suck
ing each other.
Accidents sometimes occur which de-
stroy the powers of the milk making
glands. writes a correspondent of Kim
balls Dairy Farmer. l have in mind
a well bred heifer that freshened and
has never given milk out of her front
quarters. Apparently there was no
reason why she should not, for when a
calf she had never run with other
calves. and it began to appear that
perhaps the trouble might have result
ed from inbrceding or from such source.
Upon persistent inquiry. however, it
was learned that when this heifer was
a youngster she had a habit of Jump
ing over q low barn door. One day she
got caught with her front feet on one
side of the door and her hind feet on
the other. There she hung. overbal-
anced forward. In her struggle to loosen
herself she dragged the fore quar-
ters of her udder ON to the sharp edge
Of the door. Although no immediate
signs of injury appeared, the final re-
suit was that when she ~freshened the
front quarters of her udder were found
to be dormant.
On every farm where calves are per-
mitted to run with each other and fol-
low the habit of sucking it may be ex-
pected that very occasionally young
cows will freshen with blind quarters
and in many more instances they will
freshen with uneven unsightly I'D
ders. There is no doubt that more I'D
ders are spoiled In this way during
calfhood days than after COWS come
into milk. Nothing can be done to
save the quarters in question.

MODERN GYPSIES

The Camp family, who made jour-
ney of three months across the contin-
ent and back, covering over 5000
miles in two automobiles, spent less
than $500 for travelling and living ex-
penses. They were modern gypsiesi
pitching their tents by the roadside
and cooking and eating their meals in
the open. The journal Of their ex-
periences, printed in the Randolph
Herald and News, is such charming
story Of real life that one feels little
envious on reading it, and wishes that
he might follow the game in the same
way. Most of US think of running an
automobile as an expensive luxury, SO
that it is rather surprising 70 find that
for the entire trip the cost Of one ma
chine for gasoline was s56.l4, for
lubricating oil s9.75 and for cup
grease GO cents.

PREPAREDNESS A DUTY

The employment of so many plants
on munitions of war and the incident
training of thousands of men to thl
work is an asset to this country OF
very great Importance. For while
other nations, even smaller than our
own, have encouraged and fostered
such plants, we have drifted along in
| dreamy Indifference to what the bal
ance of the world were doing. That
the day is at hand in which we must
awake and strengthen our arms both
at sea and on land, is already gener-
ally realized. The voice of the jingo

Our state of unpreparedness is alb
solutely pitiful, and can be mentioned
with perfect frankness, for while the
mass of our own people know little
and appreciate less our lack in every
essential, the war archives of every
foreign country are bulging with rec
ords of what we have not. The sub
marine Of 1915 and the 42-centimeter

with which to compare ourselves, and
the comparison is appalling. An eff

Il. d. Camp, the leader of the party,
figures that the average cost Of gaso-
line 10 run a car a mile was trifle
over 0.6 Of cent, He makes this ex-
planation: "The first half Of our trip
in going west took double the amount
Of gasoline TO run our car per 100
miles that it did for the rest Of the
trip. The reason was we used more
air and less gasoline. We found that
when travelling at the rate Of 20 miles
per hour we could shut off more than
one-half Of the gasoline and have just
as much power and the motor would
not heat so badly and we could run
nearly all day without reflling the
radiator, and that meant something
when the water was scarce on the des-
ert. While in Stockton we had hole
drilled in the intake manifold and
valve inserted SO we could use more
air without shutting off the gas
supply. Therefore we had a good deal
more power coming home, especially
in the high attitudes and saved US
good many dollars for gasoline" In
addition to the long distance covered
in automobiles the Camps travelled 500
miles by boat and electric cars in Cal
