FirSt or All BOD Leu a FroCcSSion. they wanted to be the audience and not the performers
 And first of all Bob led a process sion all around the Barnyard, while his friends laughed and called out Many happy returns It was very funny to see all the animals following Bob. And they had no idea of going according to their sizes. First a little Guinea Pig would follow in line and then a great big Father Turkey would follow next, and then a Baby Chicken followed by quite a good-sized Pig.
 But Bob liked to have the animals march just the way they wanted to, and his friends all thought it quite a joke.
 ''And then came the tricks! They did some pretty fine tricks, too, and they all seemed to enjoy themselves as much as the boys who were watch ing them.
 'tAs for Bob, he was proud as proud could be. And then he gave the prizes to the animals. All the prizes were good things to eat-things that each animal specially liked-and every ami nal got prize!
 "And then came the wonderful sur prise. Bob's Birthday cake was brought out on top of high box which was in his express wagon. The ex- press wagon was decorated with long green grass and the cake was trimmed with red and green candles. Well, when the animals saw it, they all said just what they thought of it-in just the way they speak! You can imag- inc the funny sounds in the Barnyard then-every animal shrieking out what he thought of the queer thing Con the express wagon) with the burning candles in daylight. Bob was so happy that he had surprised his Barnyard friends-and later on he took his boy friends indoors to have some of the birthday cake: But a great many crumbs went out after ward to the Barnyard."

EXPENSE OF RAISING HEIFER
Must Be Worth More Than $50 When Two Years Old to Be Profitable
 to Dairy Farmer.

Investigations made by the depart ment of agriculture indicate that the average cost of raising heifer on a dairy farm in the northern and east ern sections is about $61 at the end of her second year; this includes an allowance of $7.S1 for labor. The heifer Is given a credit of $8 for the manure she produces. Thus 1t ap- pears that the dairy farmer in the sections mentioned cannot afford to raise heifer that is not worth more than $60 when two years old.

Men or horses maddened by extreme

have devised a new scheme for the
crossing of the infantry where mere
resistance is looked for. Long slen-

ARMIES COME TO GRIPS.

BERLIN, July 12.--(Via London,
1880 p. m.)-The Austro.German re.
tirement from the CZartorysk salient,
just south OF the Pinsk swamps, hav-
ing been completed, the opposing
armies have come to grips all along
the line of the Stokhod river, where
Won Linsingen has elected to stand
and cover the approach to Kovel.
Heavy fighting already is in pro-
gress along the Stokhod, but appar-
emily 1t is merely forerunner of what
may be expected as a desperate cam
paign of the Russian commander, Cen
eral Brusiloff, to reach the point of
junction, regardless OF losses.
The retirement, according to the
Austrians, has been for strategic pur-
poses and the achievement is consid-
cred one of high degree. The Rus
SLAMS had worked well around the
fanks of the old position and II ma.
tcrial and units were saved, the re-
tirement over an almost roadless
country had to be effected at good
pace. AS it was, the Austro-German
forces barely reached the positions be-
hind the Stokhod before the Russians
were hammering at the crossings.
Comparative quiet prevails along the
rest of the eastern front. The Rus
sian request for short armistice in
order to bury the dead at Baranovichi
was granted and heavy fighting has
not yet been resumed.
Battling of the most desperate ma.
ture is going on along the front in
Picardy but the only news available
here Is that contained in the German
official bulletins. The German CORE
spondents at headquarters are study,
ing the bulletins as industriously as
the neutral correspondents In Berlin
and are producing about as little inde
pendent news of the big offensive.
Members of General Won Faken
hyn's staff arriving directly from the
headquarters, could give the Associ
ated Press only a general idea of the
furious nature of the fighting, confirm
ing the English press reports In thi.
respect and OF the British losses, par
ticularly in the northern sector of ths
front.
For some time the correspondents
in Berlin have been hearing of tn,
astonishing use of Russian cavalry OIL
the front south of the swamps an,
getting repeated tales OF charges 0
masses of horsemen against entrenche
and unbroken infantry under cond
tions which would make this tacti
appear the height of madness. A
explanation now has been receive
showing that there is certai
amount of method i'm this madnes
and that the Russians have devise
new tactics which are employed M
to press home an assault but to a,
vance line OF skirmishers rapid
across the danger zone before the a
tual charge is started.
The role of the cavalry is playe
when the infantry lines reach a poll
some 500 yards from the Austro.Ge
man trenches. A swarm of cavalry
