Region Toward Petroqrad
Fighting Continues.

London, March 29.-Further gains
by the British over the Germans north.
west of st. Quentin, and by the Ger.
mans over the French in the Cham.
payne region of France are recorded
in the latest British and French off,
cfal communications.
British cavalry have captured thu
villages Of Villers-Faucon and Saul
count, lying few miles north of Roi-
sci, and are virtually astride the St.
Quentin-Cambra! road, says the Brit
ish report, and adds that additional
terrain has been taken south and west
from Croissillos, despite the strong
resistance Of the Germans. Berlin,
however, takes issue with the latter
assertion, saying that the fight near
Croissillos was in favor Of the Ger.
mans.
Artillery 10 Active.
The activity on the part Of the line
held by the French south and west of
st. Quentin is mainly by the artillery
wings of the opposing forces. To the
south Of St. Quentin, between Essign-
cy and Benay, a fierce artillery duel
is In progress. No infantry action has
been fought.
In Champagne tho Germans, after q
violent bombardment, attacked the po.
sitions held by General Nivelle's
troops west Of Maisons de Champagne,
and succeeded in penetrating elements
Of the French first line trenches.
Heavy Lois to Germans.
sanguinary losses were inflicted on
the Germans during unsuccessful ef'
forts they made to capture the village
of Maisons de Champagne, says
Paris.
Thaw Prevents Attack.
An early spring thaw on the Rug
sian front, from the Baltic sea to the
Carpathian mountains, has rendered
Impossible for the present any attack
In force by the Germans against the
Russians. This seemingly puts al
naught, for the time being at least,
the reported intentions Of the Ger
mans to attempt to force their way
from the Riga region toward Petro'
grad. Minor operations are In prog
ress, however.
Germans Take Ridge.
In Roumania fighting continues in
the Uzul valley region. Here the Ger.
mans captured. from the Russians a
strongly entrenched ridge and held Il
despite numerous counter-attacks, &C

Germans.

FARMS ENLARGED BY HOME MA
G1C

Make the farm larger without add
ing to its acreage is a piece Of magic
that may be performed by great
many Minnesota farmers.
All that is needed to make many a
farm larger in it's productive area is
the drainage Of low and wet places,
say the farm engineers at University
Farm, St. Paul. Wet land which is sus-
ceptible Of tile drainage nearly always
is rich in soil fertility. Properly
drained this fertility adds to the pro-
fits Of the farmer. Usually the crop
returns from land properly drained
will pay for the Improvement in from
one to three years. Not only this, but
the improvement increases the value
of the farm, reducing the waste and
adding to the productive area.

CATTLE DISEASES COST MILLIONS

Twenty million dollars, and good
deal more, is the annual loss caused by
contagious abortion of cows. The loss
several years ago was placed at $780,
100000, and since then the disease has
spread widely. Consequently it is safe
to say that the loss now is great deal
larger. It is, in fact, heavy annual
tax on the cattle man.
Contagious abortion is a germ dis
ease. No reliable cure is known. The
problem is, therefore, largely one OF
prevention. saws Farmers Bulletin

WHAT CONSTITUTES "ACFUAAL
FARMER

EARNQk&h
The Federal Farm Loan Board is
receiving many letters asking for ex-
nlanation of, terms in the recent farnn
farm loan act, and one Of these ques-
lions is. What constitutes an actusf
farmera
The answer to this question is as
follows.
An actual farmer is one who corr
ducts the farm and directs its entire
operation, cultivating the same with
his own hands, or by means of hired
l8boy. An, owner, to borrow under the
farm loan act, must be responsible In
every way, financially and otherwise,
for the cultivation Of his land
CAUTION
Never enter a basement or room
where the odor Of gas or gasoline fumes
is noticeable with burning candle OK
any other kind of an open flames light
If you believe ina safety frst,'' do
not enter your garage when the place
is full of gasoline fumes without first
throwing the doors wide open and per-
hitting the gas to escape. A tiny
spark from a nail in a shoe has been
known to ignite gasoline fumes, caus-
ing an explosion.
Smoking in the garage is a danger.
