able Plate Glass

further another was thrown through

At the corner of Ninth he ran into a
crowd, who held him until the police

tons Northwest of
Verdun.
TURKS ARE KEPULSED
Germans Score Minor Sue
cesses Against Russians
War Zone Is Quiet.

London, May 1.-The French and
Germans on several sectors to the
northwest of Verdun have been en-
gagged in relatively heavy infantry
fighting with the results evidently in
favor of the French. To the north of
LIE Mort Homme, the French seized a
German trench and captured fifty
three prisoners, and to the north of
Cumieres made similar stand in
which thirty prisoners were taken.
Berlin says that strong French at
tacks from lie Mort Homme to the
northern part of the Caurettes woods
were repulsed.
On the remainder of the French
front, except for small infantry at
tacks, notably in the Vosges noun
tains and in the region of Lassigny,
bombardments alone have been in
progress. In fights in the air the
French claim that their aviators have
brought down four Fokkers and four
other German aeroplanes, while Ber-
lin says that in fight over Verdun, a
French machine was shot down.
GAINS OVER RUSSIANS.
In the region south of Marocz, the
further success for the German arms
against the Russians, the capture Of
four guns, one machine gun, eighty
three prisoners is reported by Berlin.
Petrograd says the fighting in this re-
gion has diminished in intensity. On
the remainder of the northern Rus
sian lines there have been only artil-
lery bombardments.
North of Mouravitz, in the Ikwa
river region, the Austrians forced the
Russians out of a trench but later the
Russians in a counter attack, in which
they inflicted heavy casualties, recap
tured the trench and received the
surrender of 600 Magyars, twenty-five
of whom were officers. In the fight
ing the Russians admit the loss of
four officers and 100 men.
TURKS ARE REPULSED.
The Turks in the vicinity of Diar-
bekr, Asiatic Turkey, took the offen-
sive against the Russians but were
repulsed.
In East Africa the British are con-
tinuing their successes against the
Germans, having taken near Kondo-

cations, f. F. Brandon, of Paducah.
heads the list with forty-three mem-
bers secured.
Claims paid by the national office to
Kentucky members during the year

Danger Signal

If the fire bell should ring would you
run and stop 1t or go and help put out
the fire? 1t is much the same way
with cough. A cough is danger
signal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop fire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that causes
the coughing. This can nearly always
be done by taking Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Many have used it with most
beneficial results. 1t is especially val
liable for the persistent cough that so
often follows bad cold or an attack of
the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, An
drews, Ind, writes: During the win
ter my husband takes cold easily and
coughs and coughs. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the best medicine for
breaking up these attacks and you can

Twenty head Of registered beef cows
were used in a recent three-year ex

period of 140 days during the winter
on silage and cottonsesd meal. They
consumed on the average approximate
ly so pounds of silage and one pound
Of cottonseed meal per head daily,
During this period they gained In
weight an average Of over one pound
per day per head.
The silage was fed twice per day
and the meal once. These cows were
allowed to run loose IN a well-bedded
open shed, with free access to water.
It required four tons of silage to win.

per ton would make silage for each
COW cost $1,000.
The cottonseed meal at $4,000 per
ton would cost per cow about $500
for the winter.
Total cost of feed per COW was then
$1,000 for 140 days.
II Is interesting to note that nearly
five tons of manure was produced by
each COW during the period. which at
$500 per ton would be worth $1,000.
Also each cow gained in weight 164
pounds, which at cents per pound
would be worth $500. but OF COURSE
this Is Of no value unless the animal

CATTLE DEH0RNING
PAYING PROPOSITION
(By C. d. Lowe, Division of Extenslon.
University of Tennessee)

(By c. d. Lowe, Division Of Extension.
University Of Tennessee,)
There is not single step in the
handling of live stock that returns q
bigger profit on the first cost than the
simple act OF dehorning.
The presence of horns on cattle on
sale at the large central markets gen.
orally means that those cattle will sell
for from Is cents to rs cents per hun
bred pounds less than otherwise
There is only one argument in favor
Of horns and that is the value of the
horn, as a by.product of slaughter, for
the manufacture OF buttons, etc.
Horns interfere greatly in the feed
lot with the development OF uniform
bunch OF cattle; they also are trouble
some In the car when shipping. In
fact, they serve no good purpose at
any time, on market animals.
Methods OF doing away with horns
are simple. In the first place they
may be bred of, by using polled bull.
Practically all breeds of cattle now
have polled strains.
Arresting the development Of the
horn, by application of caustic when
calf is from three to seven days old 10
another easy way.
Actual removal OF the horn with
clipper of saw, II properly done In
early fall, VIII not AFFECT the animal
greatly, but should be done while
young, before horn has reached large
size. Care must be used to cut close
enough to the head 10 insure that no
stubs follow. A ring of hair should
come OF with the horn.
Bleeding Is many times quite excess
sivs in removal Of horns from mature
heavy horned animals. therefore, such
should be watched.
