The average annual losses from
smut in oats ar" greater than
those caused by any olll"r pre-
vcmtabIc cereal disease in the
United States. Treating the seed
with hot water or with fnrmaidc-
hyde solution before sowing is an
easy. cheap. and effective way ot
preventing this disease. The latter
method, which a. the one most
available for general use, is here
briefly summarized. Both meth

shipment in good supply of cracked
ice, breasts UP, with paratiin paper ba.
tween each layer of ice and squads.
Some express companies have special
rate for squad shipments, which should
be secured wherever possible The ex-
press charges on small shipments Of
squads reduce the profit materially,
making 1t difficult to sell the squads
from a small flock ut profit it they
have to be shipped to commission men.
As the period at which SQUAD 10
right for market is not ever one week,
It is necessary to have good sized
flock to have over one dozen squads
ready for market ut one time. A local
market which will take any number Of
squads is great aid to the small pro-
Queer. Where one has small flock 1t
usually pays best to build it up until II
II large enough to make good sized
shipments Of squads. This. however,
requires constant outlay without any
return for some time.
The production of squads from each
pair of breeders varies from one or two
to as high as ten or eleven pairs year,
but an average Of from six to seven
pairs is fair estimate. although some
SQUAD breeders do better than this.
Squads usually sell at the highest
prices during cold weather, as pigeons
do not breed as freely during the win
ter as during the spring.
Those thinking of going into pigeon
raising must remember that the higher
prices are obtained by those fully ex-
perienced in raising and who have
built up a steady market for their
product.

IS TAKEN BY STORM
BRITISH CAPTURE DELVILLE
WOOD AFTER TERRIFIC AR
TiLLERY BoMBARDMENT.
FOE is HELD, SAYS BERLIN
General Haiq's Forces Capture All
but Acre of ReIviIIe Wood-Artii-
iery Fire Paves Way for Infantry
Attack-Fiqht in Open.

With the British Army in the Field,
July 29.-The British went after Del
vile wood again yesterday and cap
tured it.
The Germans had been quiet be-
cause the british made no infantry at
tack, but all the while the machine
guns had been rafting and the artil-
lery had kept up thunderous drum
beat in what before this offensive
would have been referred to as viO-
lent artillery duel.
Yesterday morning the British put
on Delville wood the heaviest concen-
tration of shell fire in a given area
ever directed against field fortifica-
tions.
Even the gunners were amazed
when they computed its volume per
minute in preparing the way for the
infantry. Counting the front a thou
sand yards, there must have been three
shells minute falling on every yard.
The purpose was to leave nothing
standing nothing living. Not single
German sniper in a tree, not single
| German machine gun but was to be
| put out of business by the tornado OF
! blasts.
Delville wood has left Trones wood
with tame reputation. The infantry
| of both sides there have no dugOuts
Their only protection is shallow
trenches, such as are dug in open field
operation.
The British had nearly all the Del
vile wood after the advance of July
II, but the Germans got an enfladt
machine gun and shell fire on theH
and took possession of the middle o.
the wood and of the British dead, wht
had fought to the last man.
But the British kept the southern
end of the wood and the adjoining vii
lage of Longueyal against repeated at
tacks, raking the Germans with ma
chine guns and shell fire.
When the infantry advanced yester
day morning they did not expect to re
cover all the wood, but before tn
charge had finished they had taken al
except about an acre of the northerl
end.

DISASTER RESULTS IN HEAVY
LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE.

Comrades, Are Themselves Vic

Cleveland, o., July 27.-At least
twenty men are known to be dead and
u dozen injured as a result of an ex
plosion of gas in a water works tunnel
under construction between a pumping
station on land and an intake crib
five miles out in Lake Erie.
The men were working so feet be-
low the bottom of the lake, which
is 20 feet deep at that point. placing
them 120 feet below the surface. They
were LOO feet shoreward from the
crib. The explosion came as the tun-
mel workers broke through a gas vein
with their picks and shovels and the
fumes ignited from electric sparks.
AT eight O'Clock IL men descended
the shaft. An hour later workmen On
the surface detected gas and attempt
ed to signal the men in the tube. Re
ceiving no response they sent rocket
| signals into the air to attract life
| savers on shore, there being no other
means of communication. 1t was al
most midnight before aid reached the
scene and then rescue party was
| quickly formed which made the de
scent. Of this party of IL rescuer'
seven succumbed to the fumes. the
original II having perished.
After the first rescue party had me
the same fate as the IL workmen, nj
more men would volunteer to aid il
the rescue work until helmets coult
be procured. There was considerabl,
delay in getting helmets and not unit
after daylight was the rescue worl
taken up by men properly equipped.

TO GET FOREIGN PAYl22 PERISH IN TUNNEL
BOYS ON BORDER TAKEN CARE
OF BY SENATE.
Adds $12,ooo,ooo to Increase Soldiers
Remuneration by 20 Per
Cent

Washington, July 2S.-More than S12,-
100000 was added to the appropriation
for the pay of officers and men in the
United States army and National
Guard as the result of the adoption of
an amendment to give every one serv-
ing along the Mexican border foreign
pay"
Under the existing law. soldiers in
the United States army receive 20
per cent additional pay while serving
on foreign soil, and the commissioned
officers receive 10 per cent additional
for such service.
The amendment introduced by Sena-
tor James A. Reed of Missouri, and
adopted by the senate without a roll
call, gives all officers and men in the
United States army as well as the Ma
tional Guard foreign pay regardless of
whether they are serving on the north
or south side of the international bor-
der.
|, AS originally drawn the Illinois
guardsmen and all others in state
camps would have benefited equally
with those along the border, but the
amendment was changed in such a
way as to apply only to those doing
| border duty.
That the war department believes
with General Organ of the New Yorl
National Guard that the militiamer
will eat their Christmas turkey on the
border this year instead of at theil
homes, was admitted by high official:
and the senate adopted an amendmen
| to allow the militiamen to vote while
in their camps away from home. Tht
three ranking officers are to act al
judges of election and an enlisted maj
is to act as the clerk of election.
