 A. few minutes later the Wo- man was. being borne from the blazing building in the arms of a stalWart fireman while. the fire department was battling with the flames which by some curious freak failed to seriously injure the girl but resulted in the death of two other lodgers in the building.

GERMANS MAKE MORE
 FUTILE ATTACKS
A. P. A. Service.

PARIS, March 3o.-War office reports for the past twenty four hours indicate that the Germans have been brought to a decided halt along the Verdun front Sew eral German infantry attacks up- on Avocourt woods in an endeav- or to retake the positions from which they were forced to retire Tuesday were made last night but without result.
 At three periods of the night the Germans threw their troops against the French positions in face of heavy artillery and ma chine gun fire only to be hurled back with heavy losses The war office says this afternoon that they failed in every particular and no further attempts to ad- vance in the direction of Malin- court have since been made. The French army officers estimate that the Germans lost fully fifteen thousand men in the attempt to retake the French positions. The Germans are still carrying on a resultory bombardanent against several points of the Verdun line but these are seemingly without definite object. It is generally accepted her that the Germans will not be able to make further advances in this section although their efforts may be continued.

GREAT LABOR
 STRIKE IS
 THREATENING
By A P. A. Service.

NEW YORK, March 3o.--One of the greatest labor strikes ever Nnown in the history of the na- ton is now threatening through ,he action of over four hundred thousand locomotive engineers liremen and trainmen in present
 gn a demand for an eight hour day without reduction of pay to the various railroad companies of the United States. The demand of the railroad men was presented today in different parts of the country.
 in addition to demanding eight hours labor the men also
 insist that they be granted an increase of pay for overtime work amounting to fifty per cent in- crease of the regular pay sche- dule. The railroaders also de- mand that the companies shall return definite answer not lat CT than the 2oth day of April. While the action of the railroad men has been anticipated for some time the announcement that they have finally presented their demand has had the effect of causing considerable disquietude in shipping and manufacturing circles. What action will be talk en by the companies is not sug- gested as the managers of the various systems refuse to discuss the probable course of procedure.

TIME FOR BREEDING HEIFERS
When Bred Under Two Years Animal
Lacks OeveIopment-Calf Small
or Stunted in Growth.

1t has been our practice never to
breed heifer until she is at least two
years old. says farmer. BY follow
ing out this method she will drop her
first calf when she is nearly full
grown, and strong and full of vigor.
When she is bred younger than this
her natural development and growth
are stunted or become checked, and
the result Is that the calf she carries
will be small and puny at the time Of
birth, as the heifer has neither vitality
nor the capacity for nourishment suf-
ficiently to sustain 1t and promote the
proper development of her own body.
Other things that l have observed
when heifer was bred too young are
as follows: The teats are not fully
developed. and this makes milking a
difficult problem. The first calf often
times is born dead on account of lack
of proper nOuriShment.
Some bring forth the argument that
the price received for the calf will
make early breeding more profitable.
This is indeed great mistake and not
advisable, and close students along
this line will all agree with me on this
point, l am quite certain.

Treatment Of "Sick" Plants.

The plan Of treating sick plants with
sprays Of iron sulphate solution is be-
lieved to be the solution of a serious
problem Of pineapple growers In the
Hawaiian islands, though the details
of application are yet to be perfected.
The black surface soil near Honolulu,
over an area of 5000 to 10000 acres,
contains manganese, up to two or
three per cent and pineapple plants
In this soil. though growing well for a
time, eventually become weak and
sickly. with dropping yellow leaves.
The fruit, which develops and ripens
imperfectly, Is made unpalatable by
peculiar acidity and lack of sugar.
The investigation Of NJ. o. Johnson, of
the Honolulu experiment station, has
recently brought the discovery that the
manganese diOxide In the soil renders
the iron insOluble, and that, in soil
having a great abundance of iron, the
plants have failed from lack Of this
element. Injections Of iron sulphate
restored greenness and vigor.
In field experiments. feeding iron
to the roots gave no results, but it was
found that when the leaves were wet
with copperas solution enough iron
was absorbed to supply their needs.
The flavor Of the treated fruit was
equal to that Of the product Of the
best pineapple land.
