and that the average COW does not
give a return OF exceeding $40 per
year for the labor invested and food
consumed.
With increasing land values and
cost OF labor and feed. such a return
gives little or no profit; and it is up to
he farmer-dairyman keeping average
cows to find out why he Is working
without compensation. II the average
dairy herd In the United States pro
duces just enough to induce it's owner
to keep on working. it is evident that
many COWS are kept at q loss. and that
II the average production could be
raised a nice profit would result Il
is also evident that the only way to
raise the average is to improve the
methods Of caring for the cattle and
also the cattle themselves. BY i'm
proving the methods. it is quite likely
that the better three-fourths Of the
cows would produce as much profit as
all now do. and the one-fourth now
kept at a dead loss might be sent to
the block without decreasing the out
put of dairy products. The IA who

but does not show good judgment, and
the sooner such men can be induced
to change their methods the better IL
will be for the whole dairy industry.
Improvement in conditions ia neces-
sarily slow. The greater part of tho
owners are lethargic; but there 10 al
ways a progressive portion that il

portion will in time leaven the whole

aside from improved methods OF ar
ing for the cattle. must depend upon
improvement by selection and by
breeding. BY selection Of the best
cows. and breeding to the sons of best
cows. in time a great improvement
would be shown; but this process il
too slow when there is a quicker way.
That quicker way Is to make use OF
| the improved dairy breeds for the oh
| tanning Of bulls with which to mate
the selected cows. An improved breed
is one that is able to convert foo in
to valuable products more profitably
| than could the breed or breeds from
| which it was derived. Also 1t must be
| so thoroughly established that 1t will
breed true. The breed which should
be carefully bred to is the one that
excels in the profitable production OF
milk. butter, cheese and veal. and also
beef production.

Big clarksdaIe Lumber NIL, Burns.

Notwithstanding loss esti.
mated here at 800, 900, the planning
mill of the Duss-Hetzler Company was
reduced to embers late on the night OF
Aug. q, and several adjoining resi-
dences were slightly damaged, al
though efficient work OF the fire de.
partment prevented a more. serious
conflagration.
Starting from an unknown cause in
the dry kiln room, the infiammable
nature of the lumber in the mill en-
abled the fire to gain considerable
Roadway before the department ar
rived, and heroic efforts were neces.
sary to keep the blaze confined to a
restricted area around the mill and
yards. Several box cars on the Yazoc
& Mississippi Valley Railroad tracks
leading to the mill were consumed by
the flames.

Part of'Town
OF Holden Is
Burned with
$4,000 Loss
The Section Known as
Georges Corner Is
Threatened with De-
struction on Sunday

Bangor, Me-, June 13.-The village
settlement known as Georges Corner,
in the town of Holden, narrowly es-
capped destruction today by fire which
originated in the saw mill Of w. F.
Shute, burned that structure and
Shute's general store and the postof-
fee and damaged half a dozen other
buildings. A high wind carried sparks
all over the village and the danger was
such that assistance was sent from
Bangor.
The villagers, assisted by the Ban
gor firemen. got the fire under control
after the Shute buildings had been de-
stroyed and the rest of the village was
saved. The loss on Shutes mill and
store is about $4,000 with $4,000 insur-
ance; loss on postoffice, small
frame structure and several damaged
dwelling houses $1,000 to $4,000, with par
tial insurance.

What the Wounded Talk About

IL IS a strange experience, writes a
medical correspondent of the London
Times In France, to visit a military
hospital You. must make the visit not
as sightseer, but as friend. You
must come prepared to listen to stories
that have no relation to the war-most
soldiers are reluctant to speak of the
things they have seen, but to stories that
concern home ties and the doings, real
and conjectured. of children-queer, SEN
timental stories woven round old IDEAS
like the Christmas idea and the idea of
home.
A few days ago sat by the bedside
or wounded sapper-a reservist-and
heard him tell Of his life in a signal box
on branch line In the north of Eng
iano. The man was dying. 1 think he
Knew 1t. But the zest Of his everyday
life was still strong in him. He describ-
ed how on leaving the army originally,

supper, but his wife saw to it that every

ter of the operations in Kolomea, from
which point the main attacks which
have carried the Teutonic Allies across
the Dniester in several places, are be-
ing launched.
simultaneously the Germans are
proceeding with their attack on the
Russian center on the river Rawka,
west of Warsaw, where they have also
been successful. according to their re-
port.
In the western zone artillery engage
ments are in progress from the sea
to the Woevre and even beyond that
district, with here and there infantry
fighting. The French have attempted
to force the Germans at some points
out of their strongly entrenched posi-
tions, and the Germans have been en-
deavoring to recover lost ground. A
big German offensive was predicted
several days ago. but so far it has not
materialized, although it is still ex-
pected. With Monfalcone and Gradisca
in their hands the Italians have begun
an attack on Gorilla Cora further
up the 1Zonso river and one of the Aus
trians' most strongly fortified frontier
positions. The Italians have already
cut the communications to the north
and south of the town so that it now
depends entirely on the difficult noun
tain road to the eastward.
