The poius broke into cheers and

evening, rendering difficult further op-
crations. The French STATS examina-
tion Of the German positions captured
demonstrates their formidable nature
and their high state Of preparedness
against assault.
Thirty German deserters who came
in before the battle began testify that
the Crown Princes army had know.-
edge that an attack was about TO be
made and were confident that they
could hold the ground, which during
their nine months Of occupation they
had strongly organized. They assert
that more Germans were deslrous or
deserving, but that the strict precau-
tions which had been taken and the
nature Of the ground prevented them
from doing so.
The difficulties opposed to the French
advance may be realized from the al
titude Of the hills which the troops
wcr ordered 70 take and succeeded IN
capturing. Pepper Hill, which 10
double-crestcd, is l,l22 feet nigh;
Louyemout is l.l3s feet high, and an
other hill. unnamed, is l.ls0 feet.
The work Of the French avlators'

with almost indescrbablc daring.

Mobiles Back Up Dums

A resolution adopted by the Congress
OF Mobiles, containing. like the earlier
formulas Of the Duma and the Council
Of the Empire, vigorous denunciaton
Of the influences which have become
conveniently known "a dark forces
and cannot at present be more specifl-
callv defined. is one Of the most impor-
tant political developments Of the week.
This pronouncement by one of the
Oldest and most conservative elements
Of the empire, it is pointed out, has
definitely brought the whole country
into complete unanimity.
The German peace proposal, which
has given Russia the opportunity for
emphatic reputation Of rumors which
had been spread abroad, without the
slightest support in the sentiment of
the nation itself, and the appointment
of new Foreign Minister. who Is not
uncongenial TO the Duma, have com
bined TO relieve the political tension
and have led 20 the belief that the gov
eminent has acquired new stability.

VALUE OF BEET PULP RATION
Results Given Of Five Weeks Test
Made at Massachusetts Station
Gain Made in Weight.

In test for FIVE weeks conducted
the Massachusetts station, six cows
were fed by the reversal method on
a ration of hay, bran and cottonseed
meal to which was added 43 pounds
of either cornmeal or of beet pulp
daily. The herd lost in live weight 33
pounds on the cornmeal ration and
gained 81 pounds on the beet pulp ra.
tton.
There was no substantial variation
in the yield or average composition of
the milk. 1t required for the cornmeal
ration 112 pounds of dry matter to pro-
duce 100 pounds of milk and 2O.51
pounds to produce one pound OF
milk fat, for the beet pulp ration
11O.72 pounds and 20.54 pounds respec-
lively. In similar experiment to the
above, molasses, beet pulp and corn
meal were compared.
The amounts of digestible nutrients
in each ration were approximately the
same. The herd gains we're similar,
There was no wide variation in milk
yields and only slight advantage in
the production Of milk-fat with the
corn meal ration.
II required for the corn meal ra-
ton 1044 pounds of milk, and 1872
pounds to produce one pound of fat;
for the molasses beet pulp ration
1851 and 1887 pounds, respectively.

longs. of course. to the strict orthodox

DIFFER ON TEMPORARY STARS
Astronomers Have Two Views as TO
How the Somewhat Mysterious
Bodies Originate.

Most of the textbooks suggest that
temporary stars, or 'novae," may re-
suit either from the collision of two
bodies in space or from a sudden ex-
plosion or eruption Of a single body.
Professor Hale, in his recent review
of the last ten years work at Mount
Wilson, states that a more plausible
hypothesis is that of faint star sud
donly plunging into a gaseous nebula.
The spectra Of novae, after passing
through remarkable changes. have usu-
ally been supposed to correspond
closely in their last visible stage with
the spectra of nebulae. Observations
at Mount Wilson, however, are IN har
mony with an observation of Hart
mann in showing that there is, at least
in scme cases, a still later stage, in
which tho characteristic lines of the
nebular spectrum disappear, as IL the
star had finally passed out of the ne
bufa which caused its sudden out5urst
of luminosity. On this hypothesis, the
temporary brightness of these stars
would be analogous to that of a me-
teorite passing through the earth's at
mosphere and raised to incandescence
by friction.-Scientific American.

AVOID LUNGWORMS IN SWINE
Treatment Is Worthless on Account
Of InaceessibiIity of Parasite-Pre-
vention Is Best.

(By A. r. HAHNER. Idaho Experimen,
StltionD
Lungworms are one of the most
common paras. ties of swine. They are
threadlike in appearance, brownish'
white in color and varying in length
from three-fourths to one and one-half
inches. They are found in the finer
divisions of the bronchial tubes, mixed
with mucus, which is secreted in
abundance as a result of their pres
ence.
Treatment, as a rule, Is worthless
on account of the inaccessibility of the
parasite and the difficult method Of
application.
Prevention is the only ground on
which we can expect to control this
trouble. AS .aoist yards make a good
place for the development of the eggs.
the yards SHOULD be located on high
ground and well drained.
Keep all manure heaps and straw.
stacks cut OF the hog lots for the same
reasons. If possible, change the pas
turage frequently.
Occasionally disinfect the sleeping
quarters with a three per cent solu-
tion of some coal tar dip.
