Lot lost 34 pounds per head, lots and 5 lost II and 40 pounds, respectively, during the winter. while lot 1 actually gained 26 pounds per head en pastHre.
 Lot l. which was wintered as most cattle are in western North Carolina, vas wintered at cost of S12.14 per head which was more expensive than any of the other methods used. By using silage. the winteflns was reduced in cost to S7 a head. while the steers of lot 1. which gained in weight. cost but $5.30 Der head to winter. This method IS the most satisfactory and economical method of wintering cattle which has been found for the Appalachian region, and il should be given wide publicity.
 In West Virginia three lots of year- ling steers and three lots of COWS were used in the wintering experiments. A nopular method of wintering steers on firms where there are no Silos is to feed them on mixed hay and stlTlw or on hay and shock corn. Lot , in each group was fed in this manner.
 On farms having silos the steers are usually fed on silage and dry roughage being given little or no grain. Lot 1 was wiHtered in this way.
 The steers of lot ? were fed p rounds of silage, . pounds of straw, and were given in addition l pound of cottonseed meal per head per day.
 Lot 1 neither gained nor lost weight, lot ? gained SC pounds per head, while thc steers of lot 3 lost pounds each, and cost the most to winter Again, the prevailing method of wintering the steers was the least economical.

Ute to avoid the puffbalIs of shrapnel that appear in punches Tt the spot where they have just left. In the hardy way one has of talking at the front you hear it constantly spoken of as "show"-and it is all that, Nothing that could touch it was ever staged.
 The Somme Battlefield.
 The appearance of the battlefield is most remarkable. I have already cabled q description in which I con- pared it to cubist painting; nor did that description strain the effect. Just as q picture it is in itself strained effect. In Il way it reminds one of some of the drawings made of the battlefelds of the American Civil war. iH which the artist tried to show the mass of men on the bat tlefieid, but in the mass they are not like ordinary men. They appear in their very massing to have created something new.
 Beside me fs James Il. Hare, the war photographer, suffering for lack of the camera which he WAS forbid den in this most intensely interesting spot a photographer could hope to find. But, great photographer as he is, doubt that his instrument could record that peculiar modern effect of the battlefield of the Somme.
 At this stage of the war the morale of the men holds ones interest as much as the fight they are making. All about k this new British army, men who mad only vague notions Of war two years ago and, until this war broke out, never expected to have hand in one. Yet here they are is soldiefly Il lot IS you will find in any army. They look like old soldiers and, fin the intensive forcing of new troops this war has caused they are veterans.

 War as a 1eveler, however, has had it's supreme test here. Some of tie Ulster regiments here found then- selves short Of officers, I have been told, and it was necessary to supply them with officers from the south of Ireland. There was no objection raised either, and the combination has worked wonderfully well. Surely there could be no greater proof of the dead seriousness of this business than the willingness of Ulster and Dublin men te fight and die together; and when it comes 10 Ulster men permitting tkem- selves to be led by those from Dublin. the story of the French and British commanders who went over the para pets together is as nothing for dra matte force

tory. These steers were wintered cheapest, but still made the largest gains. Their gain in weight does not really show what difference there WAS in the steers at the end of the winter. The cottonseed meal steers were in as good condition as when they entered the feed lot in the fall, and their coats were glossy, while those of the others were dead and lus- terless.
 Cottonseed meal should he far more generally used in wintering stockers, as it always proves profitable for this when fed in limited amounts.
 The breeding COWS of all three lots came through the winter in good tfesh and all the calves born were thrifty. Again a combination of silage and cot tonseed meal proved the most satis- factory and economical ration. IL cost but SLIT to winter each COW of this lot. as compared with $lS.2S per head for the cows of lot 3. after pork credit of S134 WAS deducted
 The COWS fed on siiage and cotton seed meal were by far in the best con dition and were giving more milk for their calves than the COWS of the other lots. Lot 3 stood second and lot 1 third. The cost of Wihtering lot 5, however, Was far greater than that for either of the other two lots, and was the least desirable WAY of win tering the cows The farmers of West Virginia and neighboring states can save great deal of money each year

Senior Animal Husbandman, Beef
 Cattle Investigations.
 How to winter his beef cattle eco nomically is often serious problem with The farmer. The economy of Wfntering the stock often affects very seriously the profits to be made upon them. In order to determine what methods are more economical than others, the department, in cooperation with state agricultural colleges. has been conducting experiments for sev- eral years, testing out common meth ods along with others which give prom ise of being both satisfactory and economical. The summary of the ex- periments of 1915=16 in carrying beef cattle through the winter are given in the accompanying table.
 In North Carolina four lots of steers We're Used in the experiment, which lasted f99 days. The results of three years experiments in North Carolina will he published at the end of the present year. The common method of Winterins steers in western North Car olina is to give them light ration of dry roughage. usually composed of corn stoxer, hay and straw, supple mented with little corn.

 Even before we reached the front the divisional artillery commander, whom We called on as We were en- tering his division, told us to take particular note of the excellent French artillery fire, which we would he able to see as we advanced over the ground the French had conquered. (Two paragraphs here expunged by the eensof.)
 Here on the S0mme is seer the other side. Small parties of French soldiers frequently pass along the British line, looking over the ground they have gained and with practfeed eye, noting the address and courage Ii took to make these gains. They do not say much, these visiting French soldiers, largely because they cannot talk with the average British soldier and the average British soldier cannot talk with them. but they look one another over as they go by and the visiting parties confer together.

 There was tune, when trench warfare was new. when regiments remained opposite each other for months without serious losses, but that Is not true any more.
