Northeast Situation

NouiC form dangerous Salent.
Northeast Situation
For the moment the danger spot of
the Serbians is the northeast corner,
where they are being attacked from
three sides and must eventually fall
back toward the southwest Thus far,
they have been retiring IN good order,
and despite the seriousness of the sit
uation, optimism prevails in Serbian
quarters in London, which are proba-
bly, best able to gauge of the assist
ance being sent by France, Great Brit
ain and Russia,
The French, according to German
dispatches, have already landed $50 900
men with 100 guns at Saloniki. While
the whereabouts of the British rein
forcements remains a secret, that they
are of considerable size may be judg-
ed from the fact that, although Gen.
Sir Charles 9. Monro. recently ap-
pointed to command the Gallipoli op-
erations is already on the spot. the
government has decided to send out
commanded the columns which reliev-
"a MdlShluS liz Tie COuIu African war,
TO cooperate with the French.
Greater anxiety exists as to the atti-
tude of Greece. 1t is known that Aus
tria, Germany and Bulgaria have Sc
riously complained of the continued hos
pitality shown the Allies at Saloniki and
one account goes SO far as to say that
the Greek government has asked the Al
lies to leave Greek territory. Against
this is the quoted assurance given by
the Greek minister at Paris to the
French government that Greece has no
intention of committing any hostile act
toward the Allied troops.
Except around Riga and Dvihsk, where
the Germans are renewing their efforts
to reach the Dvina river, and near Car
torysk on the Styr, there has been no
heavy fighting in the Russian area. En-
gagements on a small scale have taken
place west of Riga, showing that the
Germans are attacking in new direc-
ton Hitherto their main attacks have
been from the south and southwest OF
the city, where they were checked. On
the Styr and in Galicia, the German
offensive, according to the Russian re-
port, have been stopped.

EGGS DAMAGED BY
IMPROPER STORAGE
Hens Should Be Provided With
Plenty of Clean NestS-StOre
in Dark. Cool Place.

Dirty eggs can be avoided by clean
quarters and plenty of nests. In mud
dy times keep the floor of the poultry
house well bedded with clean litter.
One of the chief causes of dirty eggs
is too few nests. A hen lays a clean
egg and leaves the nest, another hen
gets in the nest and stepping around in
it before she sits down, fouls the
clean egg laid by the first hen. Wet
straw in the nests often stains the
eggs dirty yellow. Do not wash eggs.
This Injuries their keeping qualities.
Eggs kept in a damp, moldy place
and eggs smeared over from broken
eggs develop rotten spots. The farm
er should keep eggs in a cool, dry,
dark place. A cool, dry cellar is a
good place. Eggs are damaged quick
ly in damp cellar or in a warm pan
try or kitchen.
Eggs should be gathered daily In
er in hot weather. They should be
placed as soon as gathered in a cool,
dry place, and should be protected
from heat by being covered while on
the road to town, the same as cream.
Most farmers need to change their
stock and secure hens that will lay a
uniform quality of good-sized eggs
that, when properly taken care of, will
grade as "firsts."
Moldy feeds and overfeeding are
lilreIv tn nrOduca epes with q had 40.
vor. Eggs absorb bad odors from veg.
etables, meat, kerosene and other bad
smelling surroundings. Eggs packed
in bran, oats or chaff that are nodded
or damp are likely to absorb odors OF
flavors. Eggs should never be placed
against metal, as is done when they
are gathered in a tin pail. The metal
is likely to make spot on the shell
where it touches the egg.

half-grown. Immediately upon becom-
ing fly, the insect eats it's way out
through the shells of the infested
seeds, and then through the green
pods. Large portions of the seeds are
followed out in this manner, when
they are still green and growing.
: The infested seeds which still con-
tain the living larvae of the insect
may be recognized by their abnormal
shape and usually by the dull brown
color. Some of the infested seeds,
however, retain their natural color,
but they always lack the glossy ap-
pearance of normal seeds.
The extent to which alfalfa seed is
damaged by the fly is not generally
apparent, owing to the minuteness of
the insect and because its destructive
work is accomplished within the
growing seeds. Pasture the field when
possible to save the next crop.

Speed of Bullets.

The speed of bullets is measured in
several different ways and with the
most exquisite accuracy, even to the
millionth of a second. A cylinder hav-
ing a circumference of 1000 milli-
meters revolves ten times in a Sec
ond Each space of one millimeter
will represent one ten-thousandth of
of a second. Each millimeter space
is divided into one hundredths, which
can be read with a Vernier scale. A
tube 100 meters long is filled with an
explosive and at every ten meters of
its length is fixed an insulated con-
ductor governing an electro-magnet
that sets in motion pen or stylus
tracing lines upon the cylinder, the
surface of which has been coated with
lamp black. When the charge is ex-
ploded, the breaking of the success
sive circuits fixes exactly the time
that elapses between the breaking at
every ten-meter interval, and this
gives us the speed of the explosion.

RULE FIXING Time
OF CREAM TESTING
Colorado Stations Find 1t lmpOs-
sibIe to Do Work Accurate
Iy During Rush Hours.

By r. M'CANN. Colorado Experiment
Station)
All those delivering cream to cream
stations and those operating shipping
stations will be interested in the new
ruling whereby all cream station tests
are to be made the day following the
delivery of the cream.
It has been found absolutely impos
sible to do the acurate, careful work
required to make tests during the
rush hours of business, and it is for
this reason, namely, to insure the
farmer of correct tests and give the
operators time to make them, that
this ruling has been passed. BY this
method a check will be forthcoming
at the time of each delivery with the
exception of the first, and no delay or
waiting will be necessary on the part
of the farmer or dairyman.
Several adjoining states have had a
similar law in effect for years past,
and are well pleased with the results
obtained. 1t has proved a benefit to
all concerned, and is being firmly
backed by dairymen and creamery
men alike.

INDIVIDUALITY AS A FACTOR
Impossible to Separate What Is, and
Must Be, the Part of Mans
Own Being.

Any attempt to define the ultimate
spirit of the individual seems doomed
to failure.
There is a saying of Bishop But
lers which might well be recommend
ed to the philosopher: Everything 10
what it is, and not another thing"
So individuality is simply individ-
uality; and the attempt to discover
some further meaning for the word
can only lead to error.
We might be tempted. for instance.
to suggest that a mans true ego u
nothing more than his character.
But individuality goes deeper even
than character.
Character changes; the individual
remains the same.
Thus man who in his youth is hon
est may meet with temptations that
make him a thief; so. too, the sentt
mentalist may become a cynic.
The changing character is no more
than a manifestation of the individ-
uality beneath.
