Crown Prince Gains
500 Yards in Attack
Directed at. Verdun

LONDON. Sept. 1h.-The German
crown prince. making another deter
mined attempt to break through the
French lines in the Argonne. has sue
ceeded in taking trenches over a
front of one and a quarter miles and
to a depth Of from 500 to 500 yards,
capturing 1000 prisoners, forty-eight
machine guns and sixtyfour mine
throwers.
This is the second effort Of the Ger
man emperors heir to win a victory
in this region within the last three
months, ard although on each occa-
sion he gained a small amount Of
ground, he is apparently as far from
his objective this time as on the pre-
vious occasion. Fighting is still in
progress.
This doubtless is the German reply
to the artillery bombardment which
the allies kept up for fifteen days. but
\ which now seems to be dying down
without any infantry attacks follow

taken it's place.

USES FOR MANURE SPREADER
Time and Labor Saved by Distributing
Fertilizer-vehiele Can be Used
as Common Wagon

Using the manure spreader for dis
,ributing fertilizer is another OF those
cases of saving time and labor over
the old method of hand scattering A
spreader can be as quickly and easily
loaded as a common wagon while the
time required TO unload is about one
fourth that OF unloading by hand. Be
sides, the driver has a chance to rest
while unloading the spreader. conse-
quently he can load the spreader again
quicker and easier than where he tires
himself in unloading by hand. This
saving in time and work enables one
to do from two to three times more
hauling. which of course reduces the
cost accordingly.
But the greatest profit in connec-
ton with the work of the spreader is
that OF economy in the use OF the
manure. When distributed by the
spreader II will cover two or three
times as much land as when scattered
by hand. for all Jumps and hard pieces
will be torn into fine PARTICLES and
distributed evenly over the ground.

TREATING HOGS WITH SERUM
Produces Immunity OF Sufficient Du-
ration To Allow Ample Time for
Cleaning Up the Yards.

(By J. Il. GINGERY. Missouri Expert

The veterinary department OF the
Missouri agricultural experiment sta
ton has been recommending and US
ing the serum alone treatment. The
question is often heard, why the
serum alone treatment" The serum
alone treatment properly administered
has for it's object the control and
eventually tho absolute eradication OF
hog cholera. Ii makes IL possible in
a large measure TO do away with vac
cination with its attending cost and
trouble. The serum alone treatment
is a safe method TO use and is sim
pie. II can be handled with good re-
suits by the careful inexperienced
man. There are none OF the bad after
results such as sometimes follow 9TH
er treatments
Serum alone can neither start new
outbreaks of cholera nor bring the in
fiction on your noninfected farm.
When administered under proper con.
ditions it produces an immunity OF
sulnclent uuratlOn 10 allow ample
time for cleaning up and disinfecting
the yards and in this way destroying
the infection before the hogs outgrow
the immunity. Under ordinary condi-
tons this is of far greater Importance
than simply protecting hogs from the
cholera for varying period of time
and not making any attempt TO avoid
harboring the germs. The germs,
whether in the litter about the pens
or in the virus of the double treat
ment, will cause the disease to de-
velop. II cholera is to be controlled
it is necessary to destroy the germs
The use of the serum alone is to pro
tect the hogs until the germs can be
destroyed by cleaning up. burning and
disinfecting.
