LONDON, April 15.-England ex-
perienced second Zeppelin raid last
night when a German airship made
an extensive fight over the north.
eastern coast in an abortive attempt
to damage ship building works along
the river Tyne. With the exception
OF negligible damage to property and
slight injury to two civilians, the at.
tack was frIitless. The promptness
with which cities and towns in this
part OF England were plunged into
darkness when the coming of the Yep.
pelin was announced undoubtedly pre-.
vented greater damage. AS it was,
some narrow escapes were reported,
with bombs falling near a passenger
train in one instance and close to the
ship yard in another.

in London, both Russians and Austri.

The French war office gave out the
following statement this afternoon:
Near La Boiselle, our heavy artil-
lery completely wrecked German shell
ter trenches. In the Argonne, local
engagement took place from trench to
trench, in which we gained the advan.
tage. Our ascendency over the Ger
mans at this point is becoming moro
and more pronounced.
"On April IA. the Germans lombard
ed our position at Les Eparges, bat
did not attack. The extension of our
front at the ALLY wood was maintain
ed against counter attack. Our pro-
gress rendered us masters of a portion
of the German trenches, and to the
north of this trench also gained for US
a section of ground 400 yards long
and 100 yards deep.
"The new trench gained by us near
the Essey-Fliery road remains in our
possession. Near Fey-En-Haye, bonn
bardment was carried on. In the for
est of LIE Pretre, we maintained our
gains yesterday and stopped a counter
attack by machine guns. In Alsace.
north of La Lauche. we made progress
amounting to $500 yards in the direc-
tion of Schepfen-Riethkopf.

At times the chicken can keep Itself
free from lice when it has the proper

helped by the owner to get rid Of these
pests This can be done by busting the
chicken with insect powder. After the
chicken is In proper condition the

CAUSE OF R0PY MILK.
Condition Usually Due TO Unclean
Dairy Utensils.


Dairy Utensils.
Stringy or ropy milk is usually due to
a certain class of bacteria which work
upon the casein and albuminoids of the
milk, says Hoard's Dairyman. They
get into it from pals. tanks, watts or
other milking utensils and give to the
milk or cream a stringy consistency.
Sometimes this infection can be traced
to cattle wading In sloughs or marshes.
In such cases no doubt the bacteria are
carried on the udder and teats, and at
the next milking the freshly drawn
milk is infected. If a needle is dipped
into such milk and then lifted some OF
1t will be raised In long threads.
The remedy for this trouble is clean
milking utensils and containers and an
avoidance of the above mentioned
sloughs. This is only one of the many
reasons for scalding, either with boil
ing water or steam. all milk containers
and for practicing scrupulous cleanli
ness in milking and handling the milk
Feed does not affect this trouble.

CATARRH OF FOWLS.

Medical Treatment For the Contagious
Form of Roup.
The affections of fowls that give the
poultry raiser most concern, especially
during the fall and winter. are those
showing catarrhal manifestations in
the head. Two kinds Of catarrh may be
recognized-the simple form or COM
mon cold and the contagious form, also
known as roup. The latter is distin-
guished from another disease some
times called roup. but more properly
designated diphtheria because OF its
characteristic membranous exudate in
the mouth.
Contagious catarrh. or roup, is an In
fectious disease of great economic i'm
portance because Of Its wide distribu-
ton and the usual severity of its at
tack. Briefly stated, its symptoms are
a sudden and severe cold, with increas
ed temperature of the head. generally
