ances, a thoroughbred, but which, at
farrowing time, showed up litter Of
pigs that fell short of the scrub"
standard. This kind of robbery is SO
apparent and the hog market so easily
reached that it Is inexcusable allow
ing oneself to be thus plundered,
especially when good sows are to be
obtained-sows that eat no more feed
than the poor breeder and produce
double the number of offspring.
Old rickety gates are farm robbers
that get In their work almost every
day in the year. You would hardly
believe how much time you fool away
in worrying these nuisances open and
shut, beside the amount of time their
frequent repairing calls for.
The old tumble-dcwn fence belongs
to the same class of robbers, and 1t
holds you up at times the whole year
around, despoiling you of time, labor
and money in repairing; often causing
you to hunt the country over for stock
that broke out; training the stock to
be breachy by encouraging them TO
sneak through the crops.
The crimes of these common rob-
bers are too numerous to mention, the
means Of their suppression too appar-
ent for us to waste more space coll
demning them. Hang them without
mercy.

LITTLE HELPS FOR
SUCCESS IN DAIRY
Seek to Have Sire Superior to
Cows in Herd-Use Care
Not to 0verfeed.

A sunny, clean barn means more
contented COWS.
Record keeping tends to increase
the milk production Of the herd by
the eliminatory process.
The ration for the dairy COW should
be bulky, well-baIanced, palatable, d.
gestible, and economical.
! Until we get perfect animals we
should search for sire that In some
particulars is superior to the COWS
in our herds.
The first step In the production of
clean milk is to arrange to keep the
cows clean.
1t is hopeless to advise dairy farm
ers who are opposed to silos, daily pa
lpers, and things that cost little time
and money.
It is an expensive operation to sup
ply grain to COWS with which to build
up energy to fight flies.
Prepotency does not come by
chance, but through years Of proper
breeding for certain characteristics
and specific function.
During hot, dry weather, when flies
are troublesome, it pays to let the
calves stay inside all day and let them
run in the pasture at night.
One of the greatest points in feed
ing calves is not to overfeed them.
We need to have a clear idea Of
what breeding does, Of what feeding
does, of what care and environment
do, II we secure and maintain profit
able dairy herd.
Milk-giving is habit that responds
to encouragement or neglect. 1t is
a function that may be developed OIL
diminished by the treatment accorded
the COW.
Lines Of breeding which a century
has evolved and stamped with approx
al, ought to prove safer than the
theories Of a single mind, made tan
sible in a few heterogeneous crosses
No COW can properly digest and as
simulate balanced rations and econ
omically convert them into milk TN
less she has been properly developed

Wear Khaki Uniform.

The Belgian army is now clothed in
khaki instead of the dark colored and
conspicuous uniform Of the earlier
months of the war. It has been a pop
ular change. since the khaki of the
British soldier has been much ad-
mired by the Belgians as both smarter
in military sense and more business
like than their own dark blue and
green.
The sanitary situation along the Bel.
gian front is excellent, and the sick
report is exceedingly small The
bodies Of dead horses and men float
ing in the area covered by water have
been fished out and destroyed, and the
country in general cleaned up back Of
the lines.
Belgian officers have established
little chicken yards back of the
trenches for fresh eggs, and angling
for carp in the canals is one of the
chief recreations of officers and men
when off duty.

then reaching into his pocket pro-
duced long Austrian cigar, which he
tremendously presented to the Rus
sian. 1t was, indeed, funny sight to
see the small, wiry, lean Austrian talk
ing in exaggerated terms of politeness
to the blond Russian giant, who lis
tened gravely and attentively, as II he
understood every word.
BY this time all precautions and
even ideas of fighting had been for
gotten, and we were surprised to find
ourselves out of the shelter Of our
trenches and fully exposed to the Rus
slams, who, in turn, leaned out Of their
trenches and showed their heads In
full. This unofficial truce had lasted
20 minutes, and succeeded more in re-
storing good humor and Joy of life
among our soldiers than trainload
of provisions would have done. 1t was
one of the incidents that helped to re-
lieve the monotony of trench life, and
was heartily welcomed by us all
The fighting, however, soon was re-
sumed with all its earLestness and
flerceness, but from this moment on q
certain camaraderie was established
between the two opposing trenches.
Between skirmishes an unofficial truce
would frequently be called for the pur-
pose Of removing the wounded. Dur
ing these times when the stretcher-
bearers were busy, no shot would be
fired on either side.-Four Weeks In

LACK OF HATRED.
Fighting Men Have Little Feel
ing of Enmity.
Soldiers In Opposing Armies In Eu.
rope Exhibit Spirit Which Would
at First Seem a Little Hard
to Comprehend.

serving MS country until WOUNDED
by a Cossack's lance at Lemberg,
Fritz Kreisler has recorded his ex-
periences as an Austrian lieutenant in
little book. Reaching Lemburg in
early September his regiment awaited
the Russians, who, he says, were not
long in coming.
At last the Russian infantry sue
ceeded in establishing a number of
trenches, the one opposite the Aus
trians being not more than 500 yards
away. They were almost within hail
ing distance and for four days stayed
opposite each other, neither side gain
ing foot Of ground.
After the second day, relates Mr..
Kreisler. we had ALMOST grown to
know each other. The Russians would
laughingly call over to US, and the Aus
trians would answer. The salient fea-
ture of these three days fighting was
the extraordinary lack of hatred. In
fact, 1t is astonishing how little actual
hatred exists between fighting men.
One fights fiercely and passionately,
mass against mass, but as soon as the
mass crystallizes itself into human in
dividuals whose features one actually
can recognize, hatred almost ceases.
OF course, fighting continues, but
somehow 1t loses its fierceness and
takes more the form of sport, each
side being eager to get the best of
the other. One still shoots at his op-
ponent, but almost regrets when he
sees him drop.
By the morning Of the third day we
knew nearly every member of the op-
posite trench, the favorite of my men
being a giant red-bearded Russian
whose constant pastime consisted in
jumping like Jack-in-the-box from
the trench, crying over to us as he did
so. He was frequently shot at, but
never hit. Then he grew bolder, show
ing himself longer and longer, until
finally he jumped out of the trench al
together, shouting to US wildly and
waving his cap. His good-humored jol-
lity and bravado appealed to our boys
and none of them attempted to shoot
at him while he presented such a
splendid target.
Finally one of the men, who did not
want to be second In bravery, jumped
out OF the trench and presented him
self in the full sunlight. Not one at
tempt was made to shoot at him
either, and these two men began to
gesticulate at each other, inviting each
other to come nearer. ALI fighting had
suddenly ceased, and both opposing
parties were looking on laughing like
boys at play. Finally the Russian
would draw a step nearer, and our
man boldly advanced, too. Then the
Russians urged on their man with
shouts and laughter, and he would
make big lead forward, and SO, step
by step, they approached until they
nearly touched each other.
They had left their rifles behind and
we thought they were going to indulge
in a fist fight, all Of us being sorry
for our champion, for he was a small
and insignificant-looking man, who
looked as if he could be crushed with
one blow by his gigantic opponent.
But 10, and behold! The big Russian
held out his hand, which held pack
age of tobacco, and our Austrian
grasped the hand Of the Russian and
