French from sending reinforcements
to the Somme
The Russians continue to record
successes, some of great Importance,
along their whole front from Riga to
the Carpathians. They have crossed
the railway between Delatyn, west of
Kolomea and Korosmezo, one of the
main lines between Galicia and Hun
gary upon which the Austrians de-
pend largely to supply their armies at
Stanislau and before TarnopoI. This
places the army of General Won Both
mer in a still more dangerous position
and he may withdraw toward Lem
berg
Russ Continue to Gain.
In the Lutsksalinet at Baranovichi
and along the Riga front the Russians
also claim progress. German CORE
spondents intimate that General Kuro-
patkin is preparing an offensive in the
Wilma region.
The situation in the Caucasus is
somewhat confusing. Turkish and
Russian reports are more at variance
than usual both claiming victories in
the Tchoruk region on the Russian
right. 1t appears, however, that while
the Russian right is drawing back to-
ward the Black sea literal and their
extreme left is retiring across the Per-
sian border in Kermanshah district,
their center is continuing to advance
from Ba;burt southwark to the west
of lakes Van and Urumiah.

High Grade Steers
Bring $40 More Per
Head Thar, Common,

That It pays to raise good stock is
illustrated by the experience of ,3two
Utah ranchmen who sent their steers
to the same market on the same day
Both ran their stock on national forest
range under grazing permits, both
used the same amount of range per
head of stock. and both paid the same
grazing fee. One gave close attention
to the selection OF his breeding cows
and used only high grade bulls. The
herd. The owner of the high grade
stock received $40 per head more for
his steers, than the owner Of the COM
mon stock.
On some Of the national forest
ranges the stockmen club together. it
is, reported, and buy high grade bulls
which are owned as community prop
'erty. Since the administration of the
forests in the hands of the depa rtinent
of agriculture, naturally there Is a
desire to encourage the use Of good
breeding stock and to eliminate the
scrubs. In general. the effort is to
make the ranges as beneficial to the
country as possible, This is done
partly by making experiments and
studies to find out to what extent new
methods win pay.
An example is "a series Of expert
ments covering the use Of sheds and
small fenced pastures during lan1hinG
time which. forest officers say. has
prac ticaily demonstrated the value OF
this method in increasing the number
rof lambs saved. Altho the xanges on
most of the forests are said:to be prac-
ticaliy stocked to the limit. TIE, experts
Fbelieve it is possible to inefease the
output of the ranges substantially thru
improved methods of utilization. One
of the most promising of these
methods is to increase the average
weight OF the animals turned off by
Improving the grade of stock on the
ranges. The thoroughbred eais no

more pounds when fat, and sells for

Taking Care Of Horses Teeth.

If Your horse shows difficulty in
eating or loses flesh without APP
parent cause, it is time TO examine the
teeth. Very often elongated teeth pre-
vent a horse from properly masticating
its food thereby rendering it impos-
sible to obtain much benefit from it.
liberated teeth also are source OF
great trouble and prevent horse
from eating well. Sometimes broken
teeth cut the sides OF the Morse :
mouth and form painful sores. which
of course interfere with mastication.
It is good plan to examine the
teeth of all horses TWO or. three times
a year. and in the case Of hroken or
eloR gated teeth. treat them with a
file If the teeth Ola valuable an lmaf
