The roads everywhere for two days
swarmed with advancing troops and
with prisoners and civilians COM

joicing non-combatants, men, women
and children, have been pouring out

This has been a battle of strange

EXPERIMENTS WITH
CROPPING SYSTEMS
Results Obtained at Missouri
College Show That Rotation
and Manuring Pays.

Experiments at the University of
Missouri college of agriculture with va
| rious cropping systems in rotation with
and without manures have given the
following results:
1. Crop rotation has been as eff
cient in maintaining a yield of corn
during the 25-year period as the addi-
ton Of seven tons Of manure annually
where corn has been grown continu-
ously.
2. Very heavy applications of COM
mercial fertilizers on all crops of a
six-year rotation have maintained the
corn yield at approximately the same
level as the application Of seven tons
of manure annually, although the cost
Of fertilizer has exceeded the value
of the increase, the manure has
brought net return.
3. Continuous timothy, MANFRED an
nually seven tons per acre for %
years, has brought the largest annual
net return, $9.55 per acre, of any Of
the systems used, where both cost of
production and cost of treatment are
considered.
On the last basis continuous timothy
without treatment netted $5.19 annu-
ally, rotation Of corn, wheat, clover
netted $2.97 annually, without manure,
and $4.87 with seven tons Of manure
annually. Continuous corn without
manure lost 1920 annually, corn ma
nured, Al cents annually, while con-
tinuous wheat heavily fortified lost
$11.3O, and six year rotation heavily
fortified lost $11.47.
4. \All crop rotations brought net
return; the MANFRED rotations aver
aged much higher than the unmanured.
Thus. these experiments show that ro-
tation coHbined with manuring pays.

WINTER KILLING OF
TREES EXPLAINED
Loss of Moisture Results in More
or Less Drying Up of lis
sues of the Plant.

(By C. B. WALDRON, Missouri College
of Agricultural
1t is commonly supposed that if
trees are given a sufficiently moist soil
during their growing period that their
winter condition in this respect Is a
matter of little Importance.
AS matter Of fact, trees are giving
off moisture at all seasons of the year
though to a much less extent, Of
course, in cold weather. During the
warm sunny days in winter there Is
considerable loss of moisture through
the twigs and except in very severe
weather the roots are able to furnish
this loss though the soil about them
be frozen. The ability to do this is
naturally less if the soil be dry or
frozen very hard. In that case the
loss of moisture results In a more or
less complete drying up of the tissues
of the plant and this often results In
the death of the tree.
What Is known as root killing may.
in some instances be due to the i'm
mature or unripe condition of the plant
when winter begins, but in most cases
root-killing follows dry seasons.
If the soil has been kept moist by
cultivation or mulching the trees are
safe but If the soil is dry 1t should be
thoroughly wet before freezing and
then mulched with old straw, chaff or
stable manure to prevent drying out.
The mulch delays freezing and this
in itself is an important item, as 1t Is
the long continued frozen state Of
woody plants that Injuries them to a
fatal degree.
A moist soil, then, kept in an I'M
frozen condition as long as possible Is
the surest means to prevent winter
klliRg of trees.

language which he directed at the Brit
ish drew a smile from even the hard
picturesque vocabulary of his own.
Only $50 Germans were holding the
town of Masnieres and all except a
few left in the cellars withdrew five
minutes before the British entered.
With the civilians who greeted the
British were two German soldiers, one
from Alsace and the other from Lor-
raine, who had deserted and were wait
ing to give themselves up to the Brit
ish, with whom they sympathized.

right kind of feed goes a long way
toward bringing about this contented
state of mind. Never clean the stables
just before milking, for it will stir
up a tenfold odor than any feed the
cows will eat.
| Conserve Soil Fertility.
| If there is any question before the
farmers of this country of more i'm
portance than that of conserving the
soils fertility. 1 am not cognizant of
1t.
The most important business of
dairy farmers is to increase the guam
tity of manurial substances and apply
it where it is most needed.
All of the manure, both liquid agd
solid, should be saved and applied to
the land. I believe 1t is best to haul
it from the stable to the field and ap-
ply 1t as fast as made.
When all the liquids have been
saved by the use of absorbents, large
amounts of manure may be made and
If 1t is hauled to the fields direct from
the stable, these liquids will drain into
the soil to the depth of the furrow
slice, and there will be little loss from
exposure.
In addition, the cows will not be
wading knee-deep in the mire and
filth every time they are turned out in
the yards for water and exercise. Most
of the work comes at a time when
other farm operations are slack; and
the soil, besides enriched, plows cas-
Ter and works up better during the
whole of the next season, on account
of being porous by being covered with
manure during the winter.
Time to Haul Manure.
When hauling manure from the sta
BILE to the field, we plan to haul the far
Their fields while the ground is frozen,
and close to the barn while soft and
muddy.
There is no reasonable excuse for |
q dairy farmer to allow more than one |
third of his manurial fertility to wash
away in dirty, filthy barnyard, and |
spend one or two weeks during the |
busy season in the spring to haul it |
across the muddy fields to get 1t on his
land.

(By w. M. KELLEY
Good stable management is an i'm
portant factor in determining the
profits from the dairy herd during the
winter. The first essential is that the
cows be comfortable, because a COW
kept otherwise can never do her
| best.
She must have comfortable place
to lie down, stand up, move and
stretch her limbs and lick herself all
over the body. She must have sun
shine and plenty of light. She may
have pure air to breathe, and this
means that the stable must be provid-
ed with some system of ventilation to
give a frequent change of air.
This need not be expensive, only
little forethought and a few dollars
worth of material and labor. She must
have good pure water at least twice a
water basin at her side.
The stable should be cleaned daily,
and be thoroughly disinfected. The
ceiling, floor and sides should all be
smooth, and of concrete construction,
and the fixtures largely iron. 1t is
not expensive, and they are sanitary
and permanent.
Large, smooth, concrete managers for
feeding are about the best we know of
today. Judgment and common sense
must be exercised in the methods of
feeding and handling cows. Fixed
rules in feeding are not practical.
Best Feeding Methods.
Overlooking is wasteful; underfeed-
ing Is improbable. The cows must
be well nourished at all times, but If
given more than they need for main
tenance and production, they waste it
as a rule.
Never stir up dust or foul odors at
milking time. If you do, lot of 1t is
sure to get into the milk.
Whether to feed the cows just be- |
fore milking is much debated ques- |
ton. 1t is not atall dangerous to feed |
them a little grain, provided you stir |
up no dust or disagreeable odors.
AS a rule, the cows will give down |
their milk more freely when they have
contented minds, and little Of the !

The last line of trench defenses in
the region of Cantaing has been brok'
en-, and the British are firmly estab-
lished at many points in the Masnieres-
Beaurois line south of Cambria.
In this advance south of Cambria
the first hard fighting occurred at La
teau wood which lies on the Cambria
highway south of Masnieres. This
wood was finally cleared of Germans
and the advance continued toward
Masnieres. Some opposition was en-
countered in a suburb but this was
soon overcome and the British crossed
the LEscaut canal at a lock. The
small German garrison fought bitterly
to retain MasniereS. The whole place
was undermined with dugouts, in
chine guns; but the Germans were
forced to give up this place after a
sanguinary struggle, although some of
them still held out in the cellars for
a while longer.
Marcoing was taken with small re
this gave the British a second cross
ing of the canal.
German Resistance Weak
German resistance on the first day
was comparatively weak as a whole
and they surrendered freely in many
places. The second day their lines
stiffened and hard fighting followed. |
German reinforcements from Lens and |
the two companies of invalids, already |
were thrown into the line. |
The first counter attack came over
the ridge from the northeast of Mas
lieres. The enemy advanced in mass
he war. The British had concentrated
/ large number of machine guns at
his point and were hoping for a coun-
er attack. They permitted the enc
ny to advance to within 1000 yards
If the line before they opened fire.
Then the machine guns and artillery
we're turned on the Germans and they
we're smashed in whitening storm.
An attack on Marcoing was attempt
d by the enemy, but, as in the for
ner case, they were caught in
eavy artillery and machine gun fire,
nd they turned back after suffering
everely.
Among the prisoners taken by the ;
British were several officers, who were
aught in the regimental headquarters.

British Army Headquarters In
| France-The success of the British
arms in France has continued to grow
steadily and Field Marshal Haig's men,
in few days fighting, have overrun
| an area equal in size to that won by
the Germans during the first 10 days
of their spectacular drive on Verdun.
British cavalry, tanks and infantry
battled their way forward, the advance
spreading northward in the region of
Bullecourt, and the salient toward
Cambria being widened. The total of
prisoners captured is almost to the
10000 mark.
The fighting now is on comparative
~ open ground and some of the fierc-
est hand to hand fighting of the war
has been going on. The enemy troops
were unprepared for the attack, but
they have been putting every ounce
of their strength into an attempt to
stem the rising tide.
1t is now possible to give more de-
tails of the big battle. Troops have
been pulled away from other points
and rushed to the Cambria sector by
the desperate Germans and so hard
pressed were they for men that two
companies of cripples and GONZALES
cents were recruited hastily at one
camp and thrown into the line in the
region Of Masnieres. Some of these
pitiful objects are in British hands, re-
ceiving medical treatment. One pris-
oner was in the last stages of con-
sumption and had to be isolated to
protect others who were in a state of
cruel exhaustion and virtually help
less from their valiant attempts to
fight under the lash of their unrelent-
ing officers.

LeOla's THANKSGIVING

The night before Thanksgiving
Leola asked her mother if they
were going to have turkey for din
ner the next day. Her mother said
they could not have turkey because
she did not have enough money to
buy even loaf of bread.
Leola went to bed with a heavy
heart but when she said her pray
ers she asked God if he would send
her uncle home from the saloon
so they could have nice dinner on
Thanksgiving with a turkey, mash
ed potatoes, gravy and ice cream.
When she got up in the morning
her prayer had come true. Her
uncle was home and the grocer
came and brought many things,
even a big turkey. Her mother
