The expenditure OF artillery ammuni.

has reached a prodigious volume. often
striking the rate Of thir;y-two shells .

quently along the entire Somme front
nearly 10000 shells have been dropped
In an hour, while a conservative estimate
puts the average for the twenty-four

with this rate OF fire the financial
cost Of the offensive is naturally high.
What the approximate losses in human
material amount to 1t is difficult to esti.
mate.
The German expenditure In ammunl.
ton has been much lighter than that Of
the British for the reason that the Ger.

special objects. such as trenches. trans.
ports and reserve bases. while the Brit.

EXTRA FEEDING and

Ohio Expert Gives Conclusions
Reached After Experimenting
With Station Herd.

"Heavier feeding and extra care OF
COWS will pay in more than half the
dairy herds of Ohio" says c. c. Hay
den of the Ohio experiment station
in its Monthly Bulletin. His conclu'
sions are based on Investigations with
cows in the station dairy herd.
One cow given extra feed and care
produced 80 per cent more milk and
CT per cent more butterfat than In
previous years. This increase was pro-
duced at u cents less per 100 pounds
Of milk and % cents less per pound.
Of butterfat. Another COW gave per
cent more milk and 50 per cent mora
butterfat than in former years. def
increase cost 81 cents less per 1oo
pounds of milk and Is cents less per
pound of butterfat.
The lower costs are due to tie 1act
that little extra time in feeding ana
caring for the animals Is needeo' anu
no more stable room nor equipment IS
required for large yields than for smau
ones.

Another effect Of Overfeeding with
