Military Exhaustion.

Estimates as to the losses and
surviving fighting forces Of the
European nations cannot be
anything more than estimates,
but some of those being made
are. at any rate, interesting.
From figures taken from the
1910 census it is estimated that
Germany had 14,O73,526 males
between the ages of IA and As
last December Annual rejec-
tons by the military inspection
boards indicate reduction of
this total to 13,OSS,3S3. Dis
ablement by accident and dis
ease cut it down to 9,530,512.
Casualties in the war to that
time are estimated to have been
a million and half, reducing
the total to 100000. Require
ments for railroad. telegraph,
postal. and navy yard service
and in the manufacturing of
of war and other nee
essary products are estimated to
he at least two million men,
bringing the total down to- g.
For the last five
months it is estimated the Ger
man losses have averaged BOO
600 per month, which leaves IA
total of only 100000 men now
available. OF this number it is
estimated 100000 are now on
the two battle fronts. so only L.
500 900 are left in reserve for
emergency requirements.
This estimate may not be cor
rect, but if it is any where near
correct it seems to indicate that
a few more months Of the war
will make military exhaus-
tom a real menace for Ger
MANY. And the situation in
Austria Hungary is declared to
be even more aclte.-.'opnn
Globe.

Deep Flowing, Less Washing.

During the numerous rains
which have, recently fallen over a
portion of the grain belt. many
fields have washed or eroded de-
spite the fact that most of these
rains were reasonably slow and
gentle in falling. There has
been, it is interesting to note, a
striking difference in the
amount of erosion even in fields
where the slope of the hill and
the soil was practically the
same.
Upon one Missouri farm it
has been noticed that a field
that was plowed last fall and
plowed deep was washed scarce
ly at all, while an adjoining field
on the same slope that had been
plowed late this spring and
plowed to lesser depth was
badly quilted and cut up by
small bitches. When the owner
of this farm walked over the two
fields in April, before the rains
started, he noticed that the soil
in the field that had been
plowed deep last fall was soft
and as fine as ashes, so that he
sank almost to his shoe tops as
he walked across if. The other
field was reasonably we'll
packed and comparatively firm.
The owners belief is that the
reason the field that was plowed.
deep washed so little was be-
cause the water falling upon it
sank Immediately into the
ground and soaking slowly away
found little resistance, while the
water falling on the firm shall
low lower soil Immediately ran
off on the surface and wore a
channel through the resisting
soil.
If the same observation has
been made by other readers of
The Farmer and Stockman. we
will be very glad indeed if they
will report their observation, as
the washing of soils is an ex-
remedy important item. If deep
blowing in the fall will offset
,oil washing it is a matter of no
small importance.-Farmer and
Stockman.

The members receive all OF
the bulletins issued by the Mis-
souri, State Poultry Experiment
Station during the life of thei,
membership, without having to
write to Mountain Grove for
each bulletin when it is ready
for distribution. Non-members
often miss receiving bulletins Of
great value, through not know
ing that such are available, and
the information contained in any
one Of them is worth the price
of a years membership.
: The Association also issues a
year book containing the name,
address. and variety of poultry
raised by every member. which
as an advertising medium is
worth several dollars.
Mr.. Fred Crosby, Mountain
Grove, Missouri, is Secretary
Treasurer and will give prompt
attention to memberships sent
to him and to correspondence
about any matter of personal in
terest regarding poultry prob
lens.

Missouri State Poultry
Association.

The poultry industry in Mis-
souri, is growing faster than any
other branch of farm work at
present, for people are begin
ming to realize that the revenue
from poultry and eggs during
the two years of dry weather
has been a great help in paying
the grocery and clothing bills,
and in a majority of cases has
also helped to increase the bank
deposit.
The Missouri State Poultry
Association has been able during
it's twenty-three years of active
life to encourage the raising of
better poultry and more of it by
it's annual State Poultry Show
and by it's influence in getting
state appropriations for the ex-
perimental and educational
work which is being done by the
Missouri State Poultry Expert
ment station.
The membership has in
creased during the past few
years from hundreds to thous-
ands and now hovers around
the five thousand mark. BY a
little solicitation on the part of
it's members the membership can
be doubled before our next show
which will be held at Joplin, De-
cember 18th to 18th.
The annual membership dues
are only fifty cents and the year
continues from time of payment
in place of having a financial
year terminating on any certain
date. The life membership fee
