British Routed by Gas.
LONDON, ENG. - Asphyxiating
gases and poisonous shells have once
more enabled the Germans to pene-
trate the British lines east of Ypres.
A report from General Sir John
French says the Germans attacked az
3 o'clock in the morning under cover
Of q heavy fire of shells, containing
Supplying gases, and forced the Br1t-
ish to evacuate some of their trench
es at two or three places in the line.
The fighting is still in progress,
says French, and some of the lost
trenches already have been regained.
Gas warfare also was waged north or
Ypres against the French and Bel
gians, but Paris reports that the at
lacks failed. The French replied by
bombarding the German ship yards at
Raverzyde, southwest of Ostend, and
a vigorous artillery duel followed.
In Northern France the fighting
seems to be proceeding in favor of
the allies, although General French
fails to mention the progress of the
battle on the line from Arras to Lille.
Paris, however, declares the British
have made further progress north OF
LaBassee and that a determined Ger
man attack north of Melville was
checked by artillery fire.
The Germans defending NOtre Dame
de Lorette are declared by the French
statement issued at night to have
been annihilated, although Berlin re-
ports that French attacks on the
northern slopes of the Lorette hills
were repulsed. This battle, which has
been waging for several weeks with
furious bayonet attacks and counter
attacks, is develo- a, into one of the
fiercest on the wettern front Paris
reported a few days ago that the
Plateau of Lorette was in French
hands, but the German statement dis
putes this claim.

An Example of Farmer Doing Away
With Pastures.

The size of a farm business is not
necessarily measured or limited by
the number of acres in farm, says the
Government Crop Reporter. One of
the field men of the department, en-
gagged in farm-survey work, reports
the case of a Wisconsin farmer, SO
situated as to make it impossible for
him to buy or rent more land, who
solved the problem of small acreage
by speeding up" the 80 acres that he
had.
This farmers first move was to dis
pose of his scrub cows and to replace
them with grades and purebreds;
next, without great expense, he i'm
proved the sanitary condition of his
barns. He established a cropping
system based on corn and alfalfa
choosing the latter rather than clover
because on his farm it produces at
least SO per cent. more feed per acre
than does clover, and it is much more
dependable.
Pastures have now entirely disap-
peared from this farm, because its
owner has demonstrated that 1 acre
of corn and 1 of alfalfa together fur
nish him with more feed than do
acres of pasture. His improved, well
fed herd, housed in a clean, well-hght-
ed, and thoroughly ventilated barn,
is yielding him more than double the
milk he formerly got from his scrub
herd Furthermore, the quality OF
the milk has improved, and he de-
mands and gets the price of first
class article.
The largely increased net income
which this farmer now receives from
the sale of milk and of purebred cat
tie is based on the comparatively small
changes in his type of farming, which
have augmented his business without
entailing any increase in the size OF
his farm.
A comparison of this farm with
other dairy farms recently studied by
the department indicates that the ex-
ample of this Wisconsin man might
well be followed, in general, by any
dairy farmer who lives where dairy
products are high priced and who has
low-grade herd, provided he has
sufficient knowledge of cattle to give
high-class dairy cows the care thai
they demand

Our good friend, w. H. Nichols of
New Jersey, is like a good many other
men who greatly desire the nomina-
ton of Theodore Roosevelt, as will be
seen from his letter in another column.
We do not believe Mr.. Roosevelt
desires the nomination now.
Neither do we believe his nomina-
ton now would be for the best inter-
ests of the country.
What is needed now is for all fac
tons and parties, that believe in pro-
lection, to unite and nominate some
good strong man that all can support.
BURY the Ratchet" is the watch
word of the hour, and this cannot be
done under the banner of any man
who will stir up decided animosities
like Roosevelt. Taft, etc.
To our mind Gen. Leonard Wood is
the most available man.
He has demonstrated that he has
the ability, both to handle civil as well
as military affairs on a large scale.
He is liked by all factions and his
nomination would not stir up strife.

REGARDING DIRTY MILK
Director of State Laboratory Explaini
Change in Classification.


The widespread interest in the sub
ject of pure milk in Vermont which is
being shown by the editorial comment
on examination tables published in
the quarterly bulletin of the State
board of health, suggests that word
of explanation may profitably be Civ
en-, says DR.. B. H. Stone, director Of
the laboratory of hygiene. COM
harrison of the recent tables and those
of several years ago, he states is like
ly to carry the impression that no
Improvement has been made, While
this is really not the case.
, The test for dirty milk is a simple
one which any one can apply. 1t is
simply the appearance of dirt visible
to the naked eye which appears in the
bottom of a pint bottle of milk on
standing When the examination of
market milk was imposed upon the
laboratory of hygiene, we made dis
tinction between very dirty milk and
specimens showing a much less dirt
content, classifying the latter as
'passable." In 1913 the classification
was changed as announced in the fol-
lowing language quoted from the an
nuaI report of 1928.
Feeling that the time had come for
gard the board. during 1913. changed
its methods of standardiZing milk.
Previous to this time, milk which con-
tanned only a small amount of dirt
was reported 'passable' and classified
as standard The new regulation
puts all milk which contains visible
dirt, no matter how small in amount
into the class of dirty milk The
showing for the latter part of 1918, is,
therefore, a poor one in this regard
but probably shows the true condition
much more fairly than the previous
classification
This change was made because ii
seemed that the classification Of a
milk as passable failed to stimulate
the producer to reach the ideal of an
absolutely clean milk.
! The producer whose milk contains
only a slight trace of dirt classified
under the old standard as passable, is
now reported as dirty. as it is. but the
report received by the producer is
supplemented with the following
words "A little more care on the
part of the producer should bring thi:
sample within requirements"
A progressively larger and larger
percentage of the specimens examined
fall into this class, while it is very sell
dom that a real filthy specimen such
as we often used to find is encountered
THUS under the old methods of classi
| hcation a very much larger proportion
of the specimens would now be graded
fas .passable," and the improvement
(which comparison now fails to show
would be plainly evident
