CROCODILES FOE,
after GERMANS
Irish Aviator, Shot Down in
Africa, Tells of Remarkable
Adventures.
THREE DAYS IN The JUNGLE.
Escapes From a Lion by Climbing a
Tree-Three of His Ribs Broken
When Machine Is Brought
Down.

London.-Tales of adventure from
the jungles of South Africa, where
General SHUTS is operating against
the Germans, are not uncommon, but
it is seldom that the wild events en-
countered by Capt. A L. OBrien of
the Royal Flying corps, told here, have
been equaled.
The details of his adventures were
contained in a letter from his wife to
relatives in England and have just be-
come public. 1t is probable that
O'Brien will be decorated for his serv-
ices to the British government and in
recognition of his hardness in surviv-
ing an ordeal that would have meant
death to the average soldier.
He reported to General SHUTS last
April far down in German Africa be-
low Konnoa Irangi. His work as an
aerial scout ahead of the British
troops operating against the Germans
won him fame. Flying over the jun
giles and tangled brush country during
the rainy season is difficult. When an
army of vigilant enemies is added. the
The intrepid Irishman finally engaged
on the losing side of an argument with
enemy anti-aircraft guns.
His Machine Brought Down.
He was flying over jungle country
when German guns located him. One
of his wings collapsed and the machine
side slipped into the trees, which par
TALLY broke the fall. then crashed to
the ground. Had it not been for the
trees both driver and machine would
nave been smashed to bits. AS it was,
three of O'Brien's ribs were crushed
and for several hours he lay in
swamp unconscious.
Slowly he recovered his senses and
took an inventory of his injuries. He
could walk without difficulty, but when
he swung his arms. the broken ribs
hurt cruelty. Holding his arms tight
TO his sides, he secuted through the
neighboring jungles, where he discov-
cred unmistakable signs of the enemy.
Later, he heard column of infantry
approaching, and fearing capture he
set fire to the aeroplane and dashed
off through the underbrush.
Hour after hour he maintained a
fast pace with the pain In his side in
creasing with every step. When night
fell he crawled high into a vine-cov-
cred tree. Sound sleep was impossi-
BILE, but at intervals between fighting
insects and making way for jungle
creepers he managed to rest and in a
rough way bandage up his injured
side.
With dawn he started out again,
and before noon had forded two rivers
and swan a third. Toward nightfall
of the secopd day he came to a river
of considerable width. with a swift
current and signs of crocodiles. By
this time his hunger and thirst were
beginning to sap his strength. but with
out thought of his condition or the
danger he faced. he plunged into the
b-ackish water.

TIME FOR CUTTING TIMOTHY
vested Just Before Ripe, Says
Missouri Station.

Timothy hay to make the most pal
atable and most nutritious feed should
be cut before ripe. Investigations
made at the Missouri experiment sta
ton showed that timothy cut during
the period from blossoming time to
the shedding of the bloom was pre-
ferred by cattle to ripper hay and that
they received more nutrition from it.
1t is usually the custom to harvest the
timothy crop when it is nearly or
quite ripe, but the above mentioned in
vestigation would go to prove that
earlier harvesting would be more adj
vantageous.

TEACHING THE COLT TO EAT.
Young Animal Should Be Encouraged
to Nibble at Crushed Oats and
Bran in Equal Parts.

Encourage the colt to eat early, pre-
ferably feeding crushed oats and bran
in equal parts. Let him have alfalfa
and clover hay as soon as he will eat
II.
Experience shows that a ration of
corn and alfalfa gives better results
than a ration of corn and timothy or
prairie hay.

BEES FOR AVERAGE FARMER
About Right Number-Fewer De-
sirable to Start With.

From eight to fifteen colonies of bees
are about the right number for the av-
erage farmer to have, ten being usual
ly preferable to a larger number, and
still fewer being desirable to start
with. For the fruit farmer bees
should be regarded as a necessary side
line, just as chickens are in many parts
of the country. The equipment cost
for five colonies Of bees is about $50.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE SOILS
Lime and Phosphorus Play Important
Part in Operation Of Vegetable
Garden as Elsewhere.

Vegetable growers should be just as
much Interested in economic soil i'm
provement as any other class OF farm
ers.
They should realize that lime and
phosphorus play just as important a
part in their operations as they do In
the production of general farm crops.
This is especially true wherever the
less productive soils are found.

Nothing in those cheers sounded

Seems like killing folks was a
waste of time," says the reflective
old pirate in Stephenson's story. In
the case of the men put to death for
this uprising it was still worse. It
spread hatred, implacable resentment,

last this generation and others.
The war has revealed In men an
infinite capacity for laundering. No
blunder in all the war has been so
monstrous and bovine as this.
The rebel leaders surrendered
when they saw that their movement
had failed. They were. courtmartialed
at night and shot the next morning.
That is thing that hurts. Masses
of Irish people have one clear notion
that surrendered prisoners of war
ought not to be shot, and another that
these men were not shot as traitors,
but because they were Irishmen.
And they point to De'Wet in South

Ireland is under martial law and

ly, no doubt. In view of the situation.
But for all the soldiery everywhere,
"sniping" goes on in out-of-the-way
places, and any man that walks
abroad may see the signs Of trouble.
The Easement affair struck men as
cold-blooded, deliberate, passsionless.
Very few persons in Ireland believed
Easement would be hanged. Hanged,
he was, and his fate made every bad

Russian Minister Of War.

Petrograd, Russia, Sept. 5.-Russia
owes Iher present successes in the
war to skillful generalship, the en-
thusiasm of our heroic army, and the
cooperative efforts of the entire ma
ton.
RussiA is straining all her energies
to supply the army with shells, am
munition and all other necessities.
For more than two months the often.
sive we have undertaking has been
developing successfully.
The Germans now think only OF
arresting our advance!
In respect to organization and
equipment our army is in immensely
better condition now than it was a
year ago.
OF course, to say that we hr7e
enough" ammunition is in this war
impossible, for no matter how great
the supply it will not be found ex.
cessive. Even twice as much would
not be "enough"-so we must not re-
lax for single moment to rest on
our laurels of victory. -
And Russia will not relax.
Russia is on her own resources
alone, and is realizing this. Foreign
supplies will be accepted thankfully,
but not expected; and we will look
upon them merely as auxiliaries to
our own great supply.
This relates not only to the pres
ent, but to the future as we'll. l am
convinced that: humanity will not so
soon give up the method of war as a
means to decide the questions Of the
world. We must be strong in the fu'
ture also.
1t is necessary to make 1t rule
that every newly opened factory,
every new plant, should be prepared
for mobilization. Every establish
ment must be run in such a manner
as to be prepared Immediately after
the mobilization call to turn out
products for military purposes.
After the present war we must, first
of all, think of becoming strong. All
the values Of our civilization depend
forfor protection on the military pow.

Among the prisoners falling into

There will still be considerable
