BIG GUNS HOLDING
STAGE IN FLANDERS
German Counter Attack, Which
Failed, Only Infantry
Action Reported.
BAD WEATHER SETTING IN

Today's British statement indicates no
let up in the intense artillery duel in
Flanders. The definite development re-
ported was the launching of the cx-
pected counter action by the Germans.
The attack. delivered after heavy bar
rage had been laid down. was made east
of Polygon wood, where the British are
established on the highest point of the
Passehendaele Gheluvelt ridge. The
British guns beat off the Germans, few
of whom remained as prisoners in Brit
ish hands
The British are probably using the
new positions won last week as a base
from which to harass the Germans in
the 1owlands between the Passchen-
daele- -Gheluvelt ridge and the Roulers-
Menin railroad in preparation for
new stroke in the plan to outfiank the
German positions in the north.
Approaching cold weather on the
western front is forecast in the appear
ance of snow in the Eosges mountains.
In Flanders the weather had been most
unfayorable the last two days.

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND
BELGIUM. October S.-A counter at
tack by the Germans in force east of
Polygon wood, in the region of Reutel,
last evening was quickly beaten off by
artillery and machine gun fire. The
front involved was over a width of
about 500 yards. The attack was pre-
ceded by a heavy artillery barrage
which was put down not only in this
section. but along the greater portion
of the new battle line.
The rain of yesterday turned the
Flanders battlefield into a mass of
deep mud and filled the she'll holes
tary operations of all sorts. The sun
was shining this morning. but it will
take several days of fair weather TO
repair the damage done yesterday.

Gen. Pershing. Maj Gen. Sibert and many
other American and French officers upon

The exercises consisted of exhibitions OF
all phases of modern warfare. such as

PASTURE FOR CALVES.
Little Gained by Turning Youngsters
Out Before Six Months Old.

A calf four months old Is n little too
young e. turn out to pasture unless 1t
is possible TO provide It with skimmilk,
says IIoarl's Dairyman. We prefer TO
have calf six months old, aud seven
months Is better. before turning II out
10 grass. II II Is possible TO provide
pasture near the barn where skimmilk
may be fed daily TO the calf then we
consider IL good practice TO turn the
four.months old calf 10 pasture In the
spring.
We prefer to keep calves born In the
spring IN the barn rather than out 20
pasture because OF the hot weather
and flies. \ calf will not consume
enough grass TO provide ample nutri.
ment for growth for the first four or
five months. Further. we think II n
good practice to feed calf skimmilk
for six or seven months and longer II
there Is an abundance Of It. The calf
ought 20 do very well on Jersey nurse
COW, but we consider butter fat too ex-
pensive To feed 10 n calf.
We are inclined TO believe that n
calf will do fully as well on skimmilk
as on whole milk after II Is four or
five weeks old. At six or seven
months OF age It may not show as
sleek and smooth coat as when fed
Oh whole milk. but when year old
we believe the skimmilk calf VIII be
fully as vigorous and erow,hy as the
one raised on whole milk. II calves
five and six months old can be placed
upon II good pasture supplemented
with little whole grain, like oats and
corn, and some skimmllk they will
make very satisfactory growths.
We DO not believe there IS much If
any danger Of calves bloating by graz
ing upon peas and wheat. There Is
danger If they are permitted to Craze
upon clover or alfalfa. Care should
be taken at all times to supply tn
calves with u liberal amount of water
