French Snail Farmers
Grow Rich With War

Paris, March 16.-French snail
farmers are making tidy fortunes out
of the war. More than half the
French supply of this delicacy has
been cut off by the German occupa~
ton of Luxembourg, Belgium and
Northern France, and the market
price has risen accordingly. The de-
mand for snails has also been stimus
lated by the new food regulations,
which class snails with oysters as
"hors d'oeuvre" of which one may
eat as much as one wishes
AS many as half a million firsts
quality snails, worth $5 to $40 q
thousand, can be reared on an acre
of land. They have 10 be fed only
once day preferably in the evening.
A bed of 100000 snails will consume
a wagon load of cabbages in few
minutes, and the noise which they
make at their repast is like nothing
else in the world.

Hay for Wintering Ewes.

Sheep can be successfully wintered
with a smaller use Of grain than is need
ed for other live stock If in good con-
dition at the} beginningi Of winter and
given the right kind of hay they can be
carried through the winter without grain
unless the lambs are to be dropped before
going to pasture. All depends upon the
kind of hay used.
The coarse stemmed hays, like timothy,
red top and blue grass, have very few
leaves and therefore are poor sheep feeds.
Hays having a large amount of timothy
in them also are undesirable. Not only is
timothy unpalatable to the sheep, but it
causes serious cases of constipation. The
dry timothy heads work into the WOOL
causing irritation to the skin, lessening
he value of the clip and making shearing
difficult. When timothy or other coarse
The Republican journal., 1917-10-25

stemmed hay is fed to sheep in winter
quarters it becomes necessary to use some
supplementary feed to keep the sheep in
condition.
Linseed meal is good, since in addition
to furnishing protein, it counteracts the
constipating effect of timothy hay. From
one quarter to one-half pound of linseed
meal per eve daily should be used, de-
pending upon the size and condition of
the animal and the other feed used.
In an experiment conducted at the
Missouri station and reported in bulletin
No. 1870, the relative values of clover and
timothy hays for wintering ewes were
determined.
Fifteen ewes fed 20 lbs. timothy hay
and O.35 Id. grain per head daily, lost 7.6
lbs. each during the same time that an
other lot receiving the same weight OF
grain and clover hay gained 6.5 lbs. The
fourteen ews fed clover hay dropped six
teen strong lambs, while those fed timo-
thy dropped eleven strong and five weak
lambs. The lambs from the ewes fed
clover hay gained more rapidly during
the first thirty days than did those from
the ewes fed timothy hay.

Potato Rot and the Seed Trade.

While losses from late blight and rot
are by no means confined to Maine this
season the reports appear to indicate that
this disease of the potato has been more
prevalent and has done more damage here
than in any other important Northern
seed growing section, Some years ago,
when somewhat similar conditions pre-
vailed, certain agencies in at least one
other State attempted to discredit Maine
grown seed on this account. At the
present time the Maine Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station is receiving inquiries as
to whether potatoes grown on bIighted
fields and in which more FOR less rot
has developed may be safely used for
seed purposes. 1t is well known that
this type of tuber decay always begins
before harvesting OF during the early part
of the storage period. After this time no
rot will appear, although it may continue
to increase on the originally infected
tubers. There is absolutely no reason
why sound potato tubers sorted out from
such lots, and which show no signs of
decay at planting time should not be used
for seed purposes.
The rot following late blight results
from infection that comes from spores of
the fungus, produced on the blighting
foliage, which are washed down into the
upper layers of the soil before harvesting
or which come in contact with the tubers
at:digging time There is no evidence that
the disease spreads from tuber to tuber in
storage, although frequently such appears
to be the case. 1t often happens that
potatoes which appear, with few excep-
tons, perfectly sound and healthy when
harvested show large amount of decay
after being a few weeks in the cellar OF
storage house. This results from infec-
ton winch takes place Just before or at
digging time rather than from spreading
from tuber to tuber Potatoes which
show no signs of late blight decay after
several weeks in storage may be consid-
cred to be free from the disease.
By planting only sound seed tubers the
grower can prevent centers of infection
starting on his own fields and undoubted-
iy delays the appearance of the disease
thereon. The only way that he can pre-
vent its spreading from his neighbors'
fields to his is to spray with bordeaux
mixture early and often

DIG IN BOYS.

One of the greatest problems the Amer
lean officers in France have before them
is the impressing upon their men the alb
solute importa nee of learning the best
ways of keeping under cover.
The American soldier is not natural
'digger-in He is much like his Cana
dian brother in arms in that respect.
1t is the American spirit as well as it
was that of the Canadians to upstake and
fight, but the world war has long since
passed that stage, and now in the long
wear and worry of struggle of attrition
the best commander is the one who best
conserves his men by keeping them an
der cover. One of the greatest reasons
why the Germans still are in France and
Belgium is their wonderful facility for
digging themselves in. They have per-
feet passion for it and an incentive as
well, for the allied artillery never ceases
to pound day and night.
The German belief that they can dig
faster than modern army can advance
is one of the principles of their defensive
tactics Notwithstanding all that has
been told along this line, notwithstand-
ing the heroic efforts to rouse his enthu-
siasm over the pick and shovel, the
American soldier has remained decidedly
lukewarm, He came to France to fight
the Germans, he says, and not to dig a
hole and look at them through spyglass.
at seems shame to have to curb the
first fine fighting spirit of our troops, -
said an American training officer, "but
the men must be made to understand as
far as possible that impetuosity must be
subordinated to steadiness. This has be-
come time clock war. The men must
| advance in given time and go no further,

Seven tons Of buncombe shipped

which the post Office has to bear, and yet
when there is any shortage in postal re-
ceIpts the shortage is charged against the
newspapers and they are credited with
producing the deficit
Seven tons OF worse than wasted mat
ter, 1000 pounds day in and day out, &C
coTding to report from Washington, go
out from that city under the franking
privilege, and possibly all told 100 pounds
might be justified.
ii congressman were required to pay
postage on the stuff they unload on the
public the amount sent out would rapidly
drop from the H. 000 pounds a day to
nearer IA pounds per day. And still the
bill goes on, and in order to cover up its
own shortcomings in this respect Con-
greSs seeks to make a fire and blow the
smoke over on the newspapers!
To large extent it might be said that
1000 pounds of ''rot'' goes out per day.
1t is true there are many splendid
speeches made in Congress. 1t is true
that many congress smen send out ma
terial of value. But the good speeches
are not the ones that are widely distrib-
uted, and the good congressman are not
the ones wasting public money in this
way.
