the COLT SHOW DE-
C|DES S|RES MERIT

Colt shows in Iowa have edded
from $3.50 per cent to the value of
draft horses in more than one
community
The acid test of stallion's mer-
dt is the progeny test. His abil-
ity to get good stuff is what
counts.
No better means of applying the
progeny test could be devised than
the local colt show which is now
having such a great vogue. 1t
strips off the mask of good groom
ing, red and yellow braid and
fancy pedigree, behind which many
a stallion masquerades, and furnish
es at once the most searching and
most readily understood test OF a
sires merit. 1t also eliminates ex.

in order to study a sire's get.
To the average farmer stallion

time Of purchase he is fat, we'll

dividual excellence is a good thing
but it does not always insure a
good breeder. A systematic and

far more searching test as to a

history or show record.

UNCLE JUD ON
HOW TO ADVERTISE

Some folks who mean all right
enough would open wide their eyes
if you should tell 'em that they
don't know how to advertise.
They think that with success their
efforts surely will be crowned ii
they employ small boys to throw
their printed handbills round; The
handbills litter up the porch; are
swept into the dust, and seldom
get inside the homes to be read
and discussed. It's just waste to
throw them out broadcast into the
street. For the same amount of
money one could advertise in the
home sheet. The lad" would reach
the women folks, for they're the
ones who buy, and they're looHin'
out for bargains; lookin' out with
eagle eye. Other merchants waste
their money paintin' signs ON barns
and trees and disfigurin' the land
scape with announcements such as
these: Gro to Murphys for Your
school books Bradley's Drug Store
leads 'em all. Patronize the one
price Clothier. Buy your feed of
Smith and Hall.
Why not be bit progressive;
boost your town and do your part
Patronize the paper with your in
teresis at heart? Thus, you not
only get results, but help the pa
per build a prosperous community
with happy merchants filled.

WINTER DAYS
PRUNING DAYS

Winter time is not vacation time
for the wise orchardist, say the
extension horticulturists of Iowa
State college. Altho pruning is
generally done at the end of win
ter, farmer or orchardist may
often better do 1t himself early in
the winter than to wait until
spring and hire incompetent help.
The main thing to remember in
early pruning is to paint the cut
surfaces after pruning with pure
paint to prevent winter drying and
dying back OF the wood.

.D|sORDERLY RETIREMENT
OF GERMANS IN NORTH
Russian Authorities Attach Highest
Importance to Defeat of Enemy
at Przasnysz.
BEST SOLDIERS IN FIGHTING
In Their Haste Retreating Troops
Abandoned Largo Numbers Of
Gums and Even Left Behind
Slightly Wounded Comrades.

PETROGRAD. March (via London)
Highest Importance is attached by
Russian military authorities to the
German defeat mt Przasnysz.
Staff officers declare the Germans
hope OF success during their operations
OF the last fortnight along the northern
front was based on their confidence In
breaking the Russian line at Przasnysz
This attempt, which was an important
part OF the Germans plan for a
gigantic encompassing movement ex-
tending from Ausustowo to Eastern
Galicia, is declared TO day to nave
failed definitely.
The Russians assert that retirement
OF the Germans in the north is more
precipitatc and disorderly than any
previous retreat In this theatre OF the
war. They Say the Germans. in their
haste. have abandoned large numbers
OF heavy and light guns. and even have
loft behind slightly wounded soldiers
This condition of affairs, according to
tho Russian viewpoint, assumed added
Significance from tho fact that the
Germans are said to have employed
some Of their best troops I'm this fight
ing.
The reported German plan for under
TAKING siege of Grodno would appear
now to be vcnturesome. with the Rus
slams advancing along the left bank
or tho River Nicmcn toward East Prus-
sa. and cndnnEcrlnE tho position of
the German left flank. The claim is
made here that all the German troops
which recently crossed the Nicmcn
have been forced back
Although 3reports from operations In
Galicia a!Y incomplete. II would ap.
pear the 4ustriahs were making little
hendway In the attempt to force the
Russians to retire from that province.
