Italians Are Confident.

The italian reports are invariably
conservative and it has been noted
that General Cadorna has a habit Of
withholding an announcement until
he is sure Of his ground. The conf
dent tone Of today's communique
from Rome. therefore. is considered
significant.
According to strategical experts,
General Cadorna has only to obtain q
secure hold on Mount San Gabrielle
to give him complete dominance OF
the Biansizza plateau and the country
far to the north, making 1t possible to
push his way into the Chiapoyano
valley and drive wedge between the
two Austrian armies virtually isolat-
ing the southern army which direct
ly bars his way to Trieste Several
times the San Gabrielle peak has been
in italian hands, but the Austrians
have battled desperately for this vital
position and each, time surged back
again. There has been no let up In
the Italian pressure, however, and it.
now seems as If the d ecfsfve piaseSof
the battle had been reached.
Retreat OF Russians Continues.
The continued retreat OF the RUS
sian armies has not yet caused the
Russian authorities to fear seriously
for Petrogradi according to current
advices, but apparently has had the
effect of weakening most of the radi-

necessity Of strengthening Russia's

THROUGH VIENNA
TO BERLIN, ONCE
SAID BISMAR CK

Before the formation OF the
triple alliance, Bismarck was wont
to say that Italy, in order to reach
Berlin, must pass through Vienna.
This is recalled now. and many
students of the war are suggesting
once again that, In different
sense, in order to reach Berlin the
allies must pass through Vienna,
this being In fact the front where
the central empires are most vuls
nerable.
8 Germany evidently realizing the
situation, Is hurrying reinforce
ments OF her best troops to sup
port the Austrian counter-offensive.
Thus this is becoming one of tho
principal concentrations of the en-
emy's combined forces, and, the
experts argue, 1t should be con-
Eonted by equal concentrations OF
forces of the allies in order to take
advantage to the uttermost Of the
magnificent italian drive before the
enemy has time to erect suffi-
cient bu1wark to check the rush
Of the advancing tide.

The Progressive Farmer.

The Progressive Farmer.
Misled by the glamor Of 20 cent
cotton. there is grave danger that
many Southern farmer will stake
his all on this one crop-forgetting
that cotton, compared with other
commodities. is not really high priced

son that soil fertility must come first
in successful farming.
BY spring. corn will probably be
selling for $3.50 a bushel. -four at
$12 a barrel, hay at $25 to $50 a ton.
Cottonseed meal and acid phosphate
are soaring, and potash fertilizers in
quantity can not be had at all; conse-
Uuently every farmer who expects to
get his soil fertility in sacks Is going
to have to pay dearly for it. Shoes

known; implements, wire fencing and
nails are high and apparently going

amount Of digestlble protein, carbo-
hydrates and fat contained in anv
commercial feedstuffs is the principal
factor in fixing the value of that
feedstuff. The figures given on the
tag attached to a sack of feedstuff
are not q reliable indicator of the
real feed nutrients which an animal
may obtain from this feed. These
tags give the total content of pro-
tein, carbohydrates and fat, but do
not tell what percentage of each nu-
trient is digestible. The buyer must
get this information elsewhere in or
der to rightly compare the value of
different feeds. AS general rule
1T is best to buy standard unmiXed
feeds and mix them to suit the ami

the county to aid the work against
tuberculosis. She pointed out how by
reporting cases in their incipiency tho
patients could be cared for promptly
and with better effect, and measures
could be taken to prevent the patient
spreading the disease. She urged the
establishment Of county camp for
patients and other sanitary measures
in waging war on the disease.
Mrs Rembert's remarks were heard
with interest and association indorsed
her proposals. Interesting papers,
one on the milk Supply of Sumter

South we have consistently held that
there is one and only one sound, safe
plan. and that is to provide for food
feed and soil fertility first, and then
raise what cotton he can on the acre
age not devoted to this live at home
crops. This means
!. A good garden. plenty of Irish
and sweet potatoes. cane for syrup,
fruit trees. big bunch Of producing
hens. some good COWS to furnish
plenty of milk and butter, plenty Of
meat hogs, and corn and wheat for
bread.
2. A first class pasture to furnish
grazing for the chickens, hogs, cattle
and horses, a good acreage in cats
followed by peas or beans to furnish
cheap fed next summer and fall, and
an abundance Of corn and peas or
beans to insure us against having to
buy feed another season.
3. A legume crop on every acre
every year, to build up our lands and
save fertilizer bills. 1t is Of course too
late to put in next spring q big acre
age of peas, soy and velvet beans,
and peanuts. Then next fall let ,xs
begin with crimson colver and use It
hereafter as a green manure crop to
plow under next spring for our corn.

Farmer, common sense and a bank
