London, July 9.-The eastern front
continues to overshadow the western
from the spectacular viewpoint, the
Russian forces going from success to
success. Not only has General Let
chitzky, in the south, occupied the
railroad junction at Delatyn, west of
Kolomea, thus cutting off General
Won Bcthmer from his supply base,
but General Brussiloff, in the north, is
making surprising advances on both
sides of the Kovel railway toward the
Stokhod river.
Tonight's Russian communication
reports the enemy forces in this re-
gion retiring in great disorder and
adds that the Russians have occupied
Huleviche, which is about twenty
four miles to the east of Kovel. while
apparently the Russians are already
across the Stokhod river somewhere
in the region of Janovka.
To Force Retirement.
German possession OF Baranovichi
and kovel are absolutely essential il
he is to retain hold over the invaded
parts of Poland and Lithuania, but it
is considered likely that it is only a
matter of few days before the Rus
slams will be in possession Of Kovel.
which would compel Won Linsingen's
retirement from the Lutsk salient.
German official and unofficial dis
patches reflect anxiety over the Rus
sian advance as being greater than
over the Anglo-French offensive,
which the German military critics
contend will not interfere with the
operations against Verdun. Major
Moraha and other German critics ex-
press surprise at the extent and per-
sistence Of the Russian offensive and
of the endless resources OF ammuni-
ton.
Germans Lack Men.
1t is reported from Rome that at a
recent council of German and Aus
trian marshals, Won Hindenburg de-
clared that it would be impossible to
attempt an offensive on large scale
without reinforcements of at least a
quarter of million men.

tFrom a Staff Correspondent


Lincoln. Neb., July 9.-(Special
Telegram. Though somewhat be-
hind the announced time of | O'Clock,
the Fifth Nebraska infantry band,
auxiliary detachments and the Lin
coin hospital company, got out OF
Lincoln and off for the border today,
leeaving behind them disconsolate
group of officers who were unable to
go with them,
The officers left behind are Ad-
jutant General Hall, Assistant Ad-
jutant General Maysell, Major Fal-
coner, Major E. J. Murfin, Major J.
NJ. Birkner, Captain Jacock and one
or two others. These are all apart
of the staff of the adjutant general
and therefor were not attached to
either of the other regiments.
First Battalian Leaves.
The first battalion left the fair
grounds with the band at 80 o'clock,
composed OF 280 men and twenty
three officers, not including the band.
The big cannon at the armory
doomed out the signal of their leav-
ing and Missouri Pacific train took
them at the tracks of that company
about half mile from the grounds, at
Seventeenth street. There was con-
siderable delay in getting off, the
train finally pulling out at 2:05.
Ten minutes later, the second bat
talon, 23l men and q officers with
the hospital corps marched to the
tracks, but were kept waiting nearly
an hour in the hot sun before the train
pulled in to take them on.
The delay was source of much
adverse comment not only by the men
but BY others, but at 3;l5 the train
pulled out one hour and ten minutes
behind the first section.
Wait All Along Line.
Fifteen minutes before the second
section pulled out the Third battalion
with 244 men and 10 officers marched
to the tracks and were kept standing
in the hot sun, waiting for the section
to get away, and even after the third
section had pulled in they were kept
waiting for a long while before they
entrained and the train pulled away
The cars furnished the troops were
old Santa Fe. coaches, those used by
the First and Third battalions, hav-
ing been used to transport the Second
Missouri soldiers to the border, and
were plastered, all oyer with inscrip-
tions like the following:
"Carranze, you can't kick our dog
around"
"Wait until the Second Missouri
gets there"
Another inscription which covered
nearly the whole side of car was
"Carranza-Why don't you come
across, Uncle Sam; are you scared :!
Uncle Sam-No, | amt scared
I'm just waiting till the second Mis-
souri, gets there"
Not Much For Cars.
Some of the cars furnished looked
as if they might fall to pieces before
thew got out of the state, while tht
sleeper used by the officers looked
almost as inviting on the outside a.
a "side-door sleeper" and Just abou
as comfortable.
The second section looked more in
viting, but was pulled by an old lror
Mountain engine that looked as ii 4
would/lay down and rest before i
qot out of the state.

EYES ON MOBILIZATION

~ Mexico City, July 9.-Newspapers
here today publish a story that a
group of New York bankers has Oh
fered to loan the Carranza govern
ment $lO0000,000 Editorially it is
stated that with this new move the
Mexican financial situation is in q
fair way to being settled.
There have been reports that Amer
lean bankers might go to the aid OF
the de facto government, but no an
nouncement to this effect has been
made. A dispatch from Washington
on July 7 declared that Counsellor
Polk of the State department had
stated that conference he had had
with L. Fletcher, ambassador desig-
nate to Mexico, and Paul M. Warburg
of the Federal Reserve Board had
nothing to do with the rumor that the
American government would encour-
age American bankers to loan money
to General Carranza.
No Word from Carranza.
Washington, July 9.-Pending new
DEVELOPMENTS in the diplomatic situa-
ton between the United States and
the de facto government OF Mexico,
army officials are learning military
<lessons by watching the working out
of the National Guard mobilization
and the summoning of regular army
reservists to the colors.
Today brought no further intima-
tions from Mexico City as to the
course of procedure General Carranza
will suggest for diplomatic confer
ences to settle border questions. Off
cials at the State department are
hopeful that definite progress toward
framing a satisfactory agreement will
be made next week.
Will Take Several Days.
AT the Mexican embassy, however,
il is believed General Carranza's sug-
gestons may not be received tor sev,
eral days. Then there probably will
be some loss of time as the de tacto
authorities doubtless. will desire I'd
give Eliseo Arredondo, ambassador
designate, specific Instructions before
authorizing him to open informal ne
gotiations with Acting Secretary polk
and the preparation of these will re-
quire time.
At the War department the belief
is expressed that more than 90 per
cent OF the 1000 to 5000 regular army
reservists called for active duty will
report promptly.

WISCONSIN ALSO LEADS
ALL In PEA CANNING

Wisconsin's pea canning industry,
as we'll as it's dairy interests, has
grown to a position of national inn
pOrtance.
One of the displays at the Dairy
Progress Exposition held in Madison
during the Farm and Home Week,
presented through the cooperation OF
the Wisconsin Pea Gamers assocla-
ton, told among other things that:
If the peas produced annually in
Wisconsin were placed in cans end
to end they would reach from Mad
ison to San Francisco, thence to Los
Angeles, from there to New Orleans,
and thence back to Madison.
Of the total of 9,272,000 cans Of
peas produced in the country in 1915,
81 per cent came from Wisconsin, %
per cent from New York, and the
rest from Maryland, Delaware, Michi-
gan, Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey,
Utah, Ohio and California.

up the fertility of his land, and al
though he may spend vast sums for
commercial fertilizer his land will
lose it's productiveness. He must
raise products for which the demand
is unstable. He must combat al
most innumerable plant diseases that
will develop from growing one thing
year after year. He will develop a
cramped feeling-a sense that he is
not after all in the country.
The public has got bravely over
the miniature farm idea and it pre-
walls now only with professional wri-
tiers who never had the idea clearly
worked out What the public wants
is real farms and they are showing
wisdom in coming to upper Wiscon-
sin for them.

WISCONSIN SUPPLIES
ARGENTINE TRADE

Wisconsin stOckmen are sharing in
the trade with the Argentine which
has turned to this country because
of the unsettled conditions in the
live stock raising sections of Europe.
Several months ago the directors OF
the American Shorthorn breeders
Association sent to South America,
their secretary, Frank w. Harding,
of Waukesha, and commissioned him
to determine the possibilities OF
marketing American bred Shorthorns
in this South American republic.
Since his return several shipments
of this noted beef breed, many OF
them raised in Wisconsin, have been
made to the Argentine. In addition,
Mr.. Harding has purchased and
shipped to Argentine a splendid con-
signment of bred in Wisconsin"
Holstein sires. Informed stockmen
are of the opinion that these ship
ments are but the beginning of an
extensive live stock trade with that
country.

AN OBSERVER.
MAKING THE SMALL FARM PAY

It is singular to what extent the
popular idea of writer's still sticks
to the small farm idea-by this we
mean the mininture farm. Some time
ago there was a furore over what
was styled the little landers." That
notion faded away, but the minia-
ture farm idea still prevails to a
large extent We all agree that the
small farm-using that term in a
reasonable way-usually pays better
than the large farm. That is ow-
ing, however, more to the capacity
of the farmer for organization and
supervision than to any other cause.
The farm so small that the range
of production must be cramped SO as
to include only a few products is as
Objectionable as the bench work of
a mechanic who makes one thing
during all his life. What the farm
er wants, to be Independent and sue
cessful as well as to have a sense
of freedom Of action, is to have
acreage enough SO that in reason
able measure he can follow such
practices as suit his wishes and lead
to success.
Take, for Illustration, the Wiscon-
sin dairyman; he could make a good
living on twenty acres, but he could
not afford to have many of the
things the advancement of the times
calls for That amount of acreage
would not warrant such buildings as
the families of this age have a right
to desire; it would be difficult to
keep enough COWS profitably to war
rant the use of a milking machine
an equipment that soon will prevail
in almost every dairy barn.
Give this man forty acres, and if
he is a good farmer and utilizes his
land to the best advantage, he can
reach the point of possessing the
things of modern times. Sixty or
eighty acres would be still better
amount, but beyong that point means
to demand more organizing and SUI
pervision than many men possess. So
We may say that, with rare excep-
tions, forty acres is the minimum
for dairying and that eighty acres
is approaching the maximum for the
ordinary man.
The man who undertakes to fol-
low some other line of production
in order that he may get along with
less acreage than in dairying, will
find that he is surrounded with haz-
ards with which he had not reckoned.
He has no opportunity for keeping

DAT SMUT PREVENTION

Washington, D. c., March l, 1916.
The average annual losses from
smut in oats are greater than those
caused by any other preventable
cereal disease in the United States.
Treating the seed with hot water or
with formaldehyde solution before
sowing is an easy, cheap and effect
i've way of preventing this disease.
The latter method, which is the one
most available for general use, is
here briefly summarized. Both meth
DDS are described in detail in Farm
ers' Bulletin SCI, which will be sent
free on application to the Secretary
of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.
Mix the formalin ca commercial
preparation which is 81 per cent
formaldehyde by weight) with water
at the rate of l pound Ca little less
than a pint) to 40 gallons Of water.
The grain may be either loosely in
closed in sacks or put loose into a
tub or vat with the solution. Agi-
tate the sacks or stir the loose grain
occasionally so that the entire sur
face of every grain will be thorough
ly wet. Instead of being immersed
the seed oats may be spread on
clean floor or canvas and sprinkled
with the solution and shOveled over
during the process SO that they will
be wet evenly as in the other
method. Not over a gallon of solu-
ton will be needed for every bushel
of dry grain. After sprinkling,
shovel the seed into a pile, cover it
with sacks wet with the solution,
and allow it to stand for at least
two hours before spreading it out
to dry
Precautions: The oats may be
seeded as soon as dry enough to
run through the drill. If the seed
is stiH moist, however, the drill must
be set to SOW more to the acre
than if it is dry. The quantity
which should be sown may be deter
mined by measuring given bulk be-
fore and after treatment and figur-
ing the proportion of increase. AT
ter treating do not expose the seed
to freezing until it is thoroughly dry.
Do not allow the treated seed to
come into contact with old sacks,
bins or machinery in which there
may be smut spores. If such must
be used, scald them or wash them
first with the formaldehyde solution.
