Campaign for the De-
fense of Warsaw
GERMAN VICTORY
WOULD BE COSTLY
As Ground Is Marshy and Will Be
Constant Drain on Resources-Ger-
man Airships Pursued and Compel

respondent in Pctrograd telegraphs op-
timistic predictions concerning a com
ing Russian campaign for the defense
Of Warsaw, which forms the center of
vast circle of 100 miles of strong
tortiiications. Fighting described as
desperate is raging between the Wis

a triangle OF which Warsaw forms the
apex.
The country there is marshy and it

the character Of the ground the cam

German resources until even victory
WlIl bc almost as costly as defeat.
The German thrust against the
French positions west of the Mosellc
river apparently has not extended be-

gained the trenches previously lost by
the Germans, but preparations proba-
ny are under way fer further ad-

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
 Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded. streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home. which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul. phur Hair Remedy" You will get a large bottle for about 50 cents. Every body uses this old, famous recipe, be- cause no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does 1t so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn. ing the gray hair disappears. and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.

SUDAN GRASS IN DRY SEASON
Results Given of Tests Made at Dodae City Experiment station-Rain-
 fall Was Below Normal.

Several tests were run on sudan grass at the Dodge City experiment station last year by F. J. Turner, the superintendent. Plat No. l was seeded May 20 in rows g inches apart It was cut for hay July 30 and again October l. The first cutting gave a hay yield of 1875 pounds and the sec ond cutting 426 pounds, which made a season yield of 2.301 pounds of hay.
 Plat No. was seeded June 6 fn rows 22 inches apart. and it was cut for seed August IA. The yield was 252 pounds of seed an acre, and the aver. age height was 6s inches. Plat No. 3 was seeded at the same time, with rows A inches apart. It also was cut for seed August If: the average yield was 335 pounds. and the average height was 70 inches.
 Another plat was seeded with a wheat drill at the rate of g pounds an acre. It gave a yield of 6.240 pounds of hay on the first cutting and 800 pounds the second cutting, or a season return of 7.140 pounds an acre.
 The season at Dodge City was very dry last year. These yields would have been increased if a normal amount of rain had fallen.

important considerations in selecting breeding stock.
 It is generally conceded that if the ewes are in gooa condition at mat ing time. a larger proportion of twin lambs can be secured. Sheep that are in any way diseased should never be retained for breed ing stock, no matter how good q fleece or lamb they may produce.
 Sheep is a business in which the hope of prof: and the certainty of making the land more fertile add zest to a venture.
 We need more small focks on well. titled farms. Such a combination rare ly disappoints its owner.
 The fairs supply a splendid oppor- tunity for beginners to find out for themselves what constitutes mutton form and excellence.
 The lamb that cashes in the most money in the fall is not the product of poverty; he is a delicately modelled and finished creature of afiuence.
 It is a well-known fact that, pound for pound of grain. forage and fodder fed. a mutton lamb, as a rule, will pay better returns than any other do- mestic animal.
 The secret oc the English shep- herds success lies in the fact that he considers the sheep an animal to be cared for and coddled. from birth to sale.
 Too many farmers have the idea that the sheep is a sort of wanderer on the face of the earth. capable of caring for itself. Far from it.
 Oyercrowding the ewes that are heavy with lamb is a frequent source of injury. Sheep need plenty of space both in the barn and yards. that they may exercise freely without injury.
 Always contrive to have some kind of green crops, such as rape. vetches or whatever may be most convenient to grow for the lambs at weaning time. and plan to have them on plowed land as much as possible, to prevent stomach worms.
 At lambtime let the ewes and lambs be in a small pen by themselves un- til they thoroughly know their moth CTS, before putting them with the oth- CTS, and avoid having so many ewes and lambs in one pen.

GROW ROOT CROPS
 FOR PIGS OR HOGS
MangeIs and Sugar Beets Are Considered ExceIIent-Have
 High Feeding Value.

It has been demonstrated that seven or eight pounds of mangels have as great feeding value as one pound of grain, when given to pigs or hogs. and that sugar beets have even a greater value, so it is hard to under stand why pig raisers are so careless about growing root crops for their an- imals. Not only have the root crops a high feeding value, but they do more for the good health of the hogs than one can estimate.
 In regard to their feeding value. it has been demonstrated time and again that when mangel or sugar beets. or both. are fed in connection with light rations of grain, using middlinss in- stead of bran, pork of high quality can be produced cheaper than fin any other way. with the possible exception of the substitution of ensilage for the root crops.
 If root crops can be bought at req sonable prices, better have some for feeding. and next season grow your own supply.

GARDEN FOR THE DRY FARM
Shallow Flowing Causes Plants to Wilt-earIy Irrigation Eneour.
 ages Surface Rootinc.

The best way to fix the garden is to blow in bands about five or six feet wide and plant the rows of stun i7 the dead furrows. This gives the rows all the drainage from five or six feet of space. Spread old black corral dirt or dust from the chicken houses In the dead furrows. and then blow up and down where the row is to be until you have a good deep seed bed. Your plants wilted badly last year the blowing was too shallow.
 If you water by hand, don's do it until you have to- Early watering encourages surface roofing and this also causes them to wilt as soon as ;ie hot weather commences.
 Never plant a garden on the south side of trees or brush; the plants VIII burn every time. Besid,s. having the rows five or six feet apart gives the plants in tn row twice as much room as you did back East.
 Rhubarb and asparagus. which come from the root every year. should be in every garden. You can grow these by the acre if the land is rich enough.
 All small fruits can be raised. Put strawberries are some trouble. They must be given plenty of room-two feet in the row and all the runners cut on. After fruiting. run the mower over them and mulch lightly with fine manure. Ashes spread lightly on the surface will help to keep away cut worms. Tobacco water also is good. especially with little saltpeter in it.
 Cucumbers and other vines are eco nomically watered by sinking toIla ) or other cans close to the roots A few holes in the bottom of the can allows the water to seep out gradu- ally and subirrigates the hills.
 Plan anything in the garden you have mind to; but shade the lettuce when hot weather commences.
 The best dry farm lawn is made from alfalfa. Flow or spade about a foot deep. Mix in the top six inches little finely powdered black corral dirt and plant he alfalfa pretty thick: now as soon as it is four inches high, with a lawn mower By keeping it moved close to the ground it will make beautiful dark green mat as handsome as any city lawn.
