IRON POSTS SUPPORT WIRE
Trenches Only Little Way From
Being lmpregnable.

In the Atlantic Monthly Mr.. Edward
Morlae describes very clever inn
provement the Germans have made in
their barbed-wire defenses. The
wires are usually fastened To wooden
posts, of course, but the Germans have
found a better support for them. He
writes:
After we had taken the German
trench, our men set to work To remodel
it, shifting the parapet to the other
side, building little outpost trenches
and setting barbed wire. The latter
job was done in a wonderfully short
time, thanks to German thorOughness.
For the wooden stakes TO which the
wire is tied they had substituted soft
iron rods, three-quarters of an inch
thick, twisted five times in the shape
Of great corkscrew. This screw twist
ed into the ground exactly like a cork
puller into a cork. The straight part
Of the rod, being twisted upon itself
down and up again every ten inches,
formed six or seven small loops in a
height Of about five feet. Into these
eyes the barbed wire was laid and
sOlidly secured with short lengths Of
tying wire.
First cutting the tying wire, we lift
ed the barbed wire out of the eyes,
showed a small stick through one, and,
turning the rod with the leverage Of
the stick, usnCrewed it out of the
ground, and then, reversing the proc
esS, screwed it in again. The advan-
tage Of this rod is obvious. When
shell falls in the midst of this wire
protection, the rods are bent and twist
ed, but unless broken off short they
always support the WIRE and even
after Il severe bOmbardment present
serious obstacle to the assaulters. In
such case wooden posts are blown to
SmithereenS by the shells, and when
broken off they let the wire fall flat
to the ground"

someone in the town suggested that it
would be a good thing for the work
ers in the slate quarries to gain an
hour of daylight by going to work an
hour earlier in the morning and stop
ping work an hour earlier at night.
The town adopted the suggestion, but
instead of changing the working hours
it set the clocks ahead. Through all
the years since then the clocks of
MOnson have been an hour ahead of
the clocks in other Maine towns.

Determining COST
OF ANY ENTERPRISE
Government Figures Show That
65 Per Cent Is for Feed
Keep Clear Record.

We sometimes get the impression
that the cost of keeping a horse or a
COW is determined by the amount of
feed consumed, plus the amount of
labor expended, and possibly an in
terest charge. The government has
published figures on the cost of rails
ing, from birth, two-year-old heifer
which show that 65.6 per cent of the
total cost was expended for feed,
1919 per cent for labor, SO per cent for
interest, and 1876 per cent for other
charges, such as buildings, equipment,
bedding, ETC., or with a total expense
of $62.06. These items which might
be called "other charges" amounted
to $9.72.
This emphasizes the need of caution
in determining the cost of any single
enterprise of the farm. Too frequent
ly these "other charges" are omitted
in reporting profits. About the sur
est way to avoid the possible error
is to keep a cOmplet-set of accounts.
OF course, there is some work attached
to it but by adopting a simple direct
entry method of bookkeeping it isn't
such bad job.

SKIM MILK IS MOST
IMPORTANT PRODUCT
No Better System Regulator on
Market-Protein Necessary
in Every Ration.

Skim milk is one of the most i'm
portant products of the farm if fed in
proper quantities. There is no better
system regulator on the market not
excepting wheat or bran. Constipation
Vanishes when it is fed in sufficient
quantity and all bowel complaints are
bettered. 1t has about the same effect
on pigs and chickens as oats has on
horses.
Practically all the protein of the
flesh building part of the whole milk
is left in the skim milk. This protein
is necessary in every ration especially
in the feeding Of young stock. Con-
sidered from the standpoint.o of fertiliz-
ing and feeding, protein is the most
expensive portion of the milk. When
you purchase milk and other expensive
feeds the price paid depends upon the
amount of protein they contain. If
pigs have been fed on corn for a long
time until they have lost their appe-
tite for it, skim milk, even If fed in
only small quantities, will help very
much in remedying this condition.

Along with other more or less
known diseases of the apple is the
blOtch, which winters over in the
form of a canker which fastens itself
onto the twig or watershOOt, preferably
the latter, and ripens it's spores the
following season, spreading to both
fruit and twig growth. Its spread is
due chiefly to water. The spores are
spread by rains and heavy dew, as
the worst infected fruits will be found
directly underneath the cankered
limbs or twigs, tOpmost fruit in many
cases being entirely free from the in

The blOtch on the fruit first appears
as a minute brown speck on the skin,

The only way to be sure which
cows really do pay is by keeping care

WILD PARSNIP IS A
MOST DEADLY WEED
Plant Is Quite Dangerous to Live
StoCk-ChiIdren Poisoned
by Eating Roots.
By GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado Ag

CBy GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado Ag-
riculturaI College, Fort Collins, Colo)
Wild parsnip is not the common
garden parsnip that has escaped from
cultivation and grown wild. The lat
ter has a more yellowish flower and
Il tap root. What is commonly called
wild parsnip" is the Wyoming water
hemlOck (Cicuta Occidentalis) which
greatly resembles the garden parsnip
but has a whittier flower, the leaflets
finely toOthed along the margin, and
cluster of roots.
The American water hemlock is one
of the most poisonous plants native
to the United States and the poison
is found largely in the roots, espec-
tally of the matured plants. This plant
is very deadly to live stock, especially
cattle.
Every year we have reports of
children being poisoned by eating the
roots of wild parsnip and parents will
do well to caution their children
against touching any wild plant that
has an unbrella-shaped top, that
looks like the garden parsnip.

open, making the fruit subject to the
innumerable rot spores that abound
everywhere. When once under the skin
of the fruit, blOtch cannot be cured or
even remedied, therefore it is very ad-
visable to catch the disease in ample
time.
Repeated experiments have shown
cOnclusively that lime-sulphur solution
will not control blotch, and further
that bordeaux mixture completely con-
trolls the disease. AS arsenate of lead
can also be used with the bordeaux
mixture we have the complete mixture
for the combat of blOtch and numer-
GUS other fungous diseases, as we'll as
the poison to control insects.
BlOtch is not so prevalent in more
northern orchards, and is much worse
in southern Indiana, Illinois and Ohio
than farther north in the same states.
Careful pruning will remove many
of the cankers which can be burned,
Kidding the orchard of so much of the
infection.

Mr.. Sampson Waters glared at pretty

haberdashery department of the great
Fitton store.
Miss Jones had been at work a week,
and Mr.. Waters had taken a decided
liking to her. After CALAMITY prom
islng her to see that the road was
made easy for her, he had ventured on
a familiarity when they found them
selves alone in the doorway for a mo-
ment. Now the tingle of pretty Miss
Jones hand across his cheek smarted
still.
Waters was the superintendent of
the haberdashery department, and the
dreaded tyrant of all the girls. They
knew that their positions were at the
mans mercy. Nobody had so much
influence with Fitton as he. A word
was as good as a command, it was
said.
FittOn had never run his store very
successfully. He had inherited 1t,
which was the principal reason. He
leaned more and more on his en-
ployees. He was an old man, and when
his daughter, now at Vassar, came to
the ownership-well, Mr.. Waters
smiled. He expected the general man

Fitton had as good as promised it to
him.
There were stories about him, con-
cerning Nelly Gregg, who had disap-
peared from the store a year before.
That Waters was a married man was
known, and the girls often speculated
what sort of woman had been willing
to take him.
