AUSTRIAN YOUTHS IN WAR

The Austrian newspapers are devot-
ing considerable space at present to
the part played by schoolboys in the
present war. They are affectionately
termed the war boys" and in the op-
eratiors in eastern Galicia they were
of great assistance to the troops.
In some of the artillery battles. es-
pecially those which conferred around
Czernovitz and Weinberg. schoolboys
in large numbers braved the shells and
carried water and ammunition for the
troops.
After battle they would go over the
field and gather pieces OF shrapnel and
the shells of cartridges to be made
over again into ammunition. Occa-
sionally boy thus sacrificed his life.
but this did not deter the arior OF his
companions.
Many Of the boys followed the in
fantry regiments and fought and slept
with the soldiers in the trenches. The
boys who remained at home took the
place OF their fathers and brothers who
were at the front.
The story is told OF a fourteen-year-
old youngster who all alone managed
the biggest hotel in Czernovitz. He
looked personally after his own cashier
and bookkeeper. Other boys peddled
goods among the soldiers and SO
earned a good living for their mothers.
Some became guides. and many an
army automobile had as guide bright
schoolboy who sat beside the chauf-
fear and showed him the right road.
1t is said that when the history Of
this war is written the schoolboys of
Austria will deserve a prominent place
in its pages.

SUPPLYING THE FIRING LINE
How Cartridges Are Conveyed TO Sol
diers Actually at the Front and
Possibly Advancing.

Probably many have at times won.
dered how rifle and other ammunition
is conveyed to those actually in the
firing line. especially when the troops
are being rapidly pushed forward as an
advance takes place. Motor traction
is used for the most part in the British
lines. and many of the London motor
omnibuses convey the small ammuni-
ton for rifles and machine guns. They
are sent forward as close to the firing
line as is thought safe. Every driver
in charge of these vehicles is given
careful instructions as TO the units
whose pouches and bandoliers he has
to replenish, how many rounds are to
be issued per man. and where the regi-
ment is located. Thus the indiscrimi-
mate distribution of cartridges is re-
duced to a minimum Otherwise one
regiment might have more than it well
knew what to do with, while another a
short distance away was rendered help
less for lack Of bullets.-MontreaI Her.

CLEANING UP POTATO PATCH
Practical Plan TO Rake Up and Burn
All Refuse Matter-vines Tend
to Perpetuate Disease.

After the spud crop has been har.
rested 1t is wise idea to rake and
burn all the refuse matter Vines al.
lowed to decay upon the land tend to
perpetuate any bacterial disease that
may have been present upon the crop
during the growing season and the
potash is worth more than the germs
There is little fertility in the vines
and the danger OF Communicating the
following seasons crop by harboring
disease is much greater than the val
ue OF the vines for manurial purposes
The proper autumnal treatment is
to pillow the land deeply and allow 4:
to remain in rough condition during
the winter in order that it may hold
all the snow which may fall and rap
idly absorb the rains Rough earth
will not blow so badly as that which
is smooth. This blowing should be
done crosswise to the run OF the dig.
ging machine.

Wyoming.

Werner L. Reed, interested in large
oil operations in Wyoming, announced
that the Midwest Oil Company had
taken over properties in the Greybull
and Torchlight districts, which will
add materially to the holdings OF the

The Midwest Refining Company has
increased its dividend rate from 4 TO
8 per cent, and announces that it has
acquired important rights in Elk Ba-
sin, on the Wyoming Montana line, a
field that may rival the Salt Creek
field. At the prices now prevailing.

SUDAN GRASS FOR DROUGHT
Valuable Forage Plant Introduced into
the United States by Department
Of Agriculture.

This valuable new forage plant was
introduced into the United States by
the department OF agriculture The
seed was brought from the Sudan.
Egypt. hence the name Sudan grass.
Henderson's Farmers Manual for
1915 says: Sudan grass is strictly an
annual, having no underground root
stock to be spread over the ground.
which is a point very much in its
favor. because there is no danger Of
its getting out of bounds and becom-
ing a pest. II is thoroughly killed
by frost each year, and the seed must
be sown again"
When broadcastcd for hay. it rarely
attains height OF more than four or
five feet. The stems are smaller
and more leafy than johnson grass.
which it most resembles. and the hay
IS much softer. When broadcasted
for hay, the number of cuttings will
depend on the length of the season,
and the amount OF moisture. The first
crop natures in from so to rs days.
and the recovery after cutting is so
rapid that another cutting may be
taken % to 50 days later.
Sudan grass will produce as much
forage as any variety of millet and
yield two to four cuttings per year.
Its great value to the farmer in the
eastern part OF the country. or in a
droughty section. is the ease with
which it can be grown. and its profit
able yields vi forage. Al stock &C: ::

known to follow feeding II to work
animals. For hay or green feed. sow
20 pounds to the acre For heavy
yield. the ground must be deep, rich
and finely pulyerized. Sow when
ground is warm. The seed is scarce
and the price at present is IS cents
per pound.
Sudan grass will prove very valu.
able grass for the dairy farmer to
cut greenland also for hay.

KAFiRS REPLACE CORN CROP
Less Of Rainfall Plant kafir. Milo

Corn in dry farming districts of the
Southwest is generally not profitable
Yet farmers keep on planting several
million acres each year. In years
of unusually heavy rainfall corn yields
well, yield OF 20 bushels an acre hav.
ing once been raised in eastern New
Mexico.
For all districts with 80 inches or
less OF rainfall in the Southwest some
of the kairs-katir, milo or feterita-
is the feed grain to plant. The kafirs
are sure feed grains and If the right
varieties are planted, there will be
no failures.
Ten bushels of kafr is worth nine
bushels of corn for feeding horses.

sheep. The general growing OF the
kafirs instead OF corn in the South
west will make that great territory

The beauty of home depends on
the method of handling the many lit
tie details that go into the making OF
a house. There are a thousand ways
Of making these little things different
from the average run of houses and
thus giving a distinctive touch TO your
home. OF course ii requires a little
ingenuity and time to think of these
things
Many people. when they start to
build home, will get their mind set
on a certain room that they need.
After this room has been included in
the plan. the rest OF the house is built
around it. and all the other details
that are just as important are neglect
ed. In order to build a house that is
to be satisfactory all the time. il is
necessary to get a good broad view of
the general arrangement of the house
with the pet room as the controlling
idea. Everyone has seen houses that
are planned with Just one idea in mind
and none of them are ever satisfactory
when they are completed.

TURNING UNDER CLOVER CROP
Double Disk Cover Crop Two or Three
Times With Sharp Disk Harrow
Before Flowing.

Never turn the clover or other crop
under without first thoroughly cutting
up with disk harrow, as the ma.
terial plowed under in a layer seri.
ously interferes with the capillary &C.
ton Of the moisture in the soil.
The effects Of turning under in a
layer are what is sometimes called
souring the soil with green manuring

Double disk the cover crop two or
three times with sharp disk harrow
before blowing; pillow well by taking a
narrow furrow and edging rather than
inverting the furrow; then double disk

lame was very clear A venerable
bearded priest stood beside the lamp.
His discourse was earnest and solemn
Both man and woman hearers were
very attentive.
The ceremonies OF worship are quite
simple. but the mysteries of the faith
may be less so. The Parsees who
have been educated in England and
many OF those whose English educa-
ton has been obtained in Bombay
resent the designation of fire worship
ers.
One oLthem gave me a monograph,
written by Parsee barrister in Lon
don. which explained the creed OF the
followers OF Zoroaster as one of good
thoughts, good words and good deeds
with the sacred fame as a symbol of
the ehulgence of the deity. 1t is not
denied, however. that contact with
Hindus and Mohammedans has caused
corruptions TO creep into the creed.
The Hindus and Moslems regard the
Parsces as fire worshipers.
1t was on New Year day that
drove out to Malabar hill, where are
located the Towers of Silence, or the
Parsee cemetery. Every traveller takes
this drive. II is past the other GENE
teries. Christian and Mohammedan
burial grounds and the Hindu burning
CHAT. The cemetery OF the Christians
is no longer used, but on almost any
day there will be Mohammedan fu-
nerals and Hindu cremations.
On this day there were two Moham-
medan funerals and three parties of
Hindu mourners. with their respective
burdens at the burning CHAT.
Malabar hill is the choice spot over
looking the Arabian sea Within the
cemetery grounds are fagstone steps.

A luXuriant vegetation covers the

The towers of Silence. of which
there are FIVE. are hardly towers at
all. They are about 275 feet in cir
conference and perhaps % feet high.
The material is whitewashed stone
and cement or mortar. A near ap
proach to the towers is not allowed
to strangers to the Parsee creed. nor
is entrance permitted to the fire tenn
pie. where the sacred fire is kept alive
and seven kinds OF incense are burned.
A model OF the towers is shown in
the registry room and an attendant ey-

in which the bodies were placed-one
for the children, one for the women
and one for the men. When the bodies

OF being handled in the usual way it
is built at the corner of the house.
The entrance Is also at the corner,
which has been cut OF to accommodate

the possibilities of just one part of
the house.
The front door design is also out of

has several ideas incorporated in it
that are as distinctive as the porch
arrangement. The hinges are of heavy
brass and extend almost across the

window across the top of the door, a
paneled effect is obtained By placing
narrow strips Of glass across the door
