means of helping to meet the present
food shortage, which is certain to con-

Cottage cheese, made from skimmilk,
is very wholesome, growth-promoting,
and strengthening food, adds Mr..
Washburn. For the general farm fam
lily ~ pounds Of cottage cheese will
take the place Of pound of meat. Or
binary market cheese is SO easily trans
ported and used that there is large
demand for it for shipment, but farm
ers' wives can readily make their own
dairy cheese: Almost no outlay of tools
is needed, the cheese can be made in
about an hour, and it is ready to eat
in from two or four weeks. It will
keep for several months.

day issued an announcement that a
survey Of the winter wheat situation in

fantry Action of the

LONDON, Sept. 9.-General Cadorna
4. concentrating the full power OF his
heavy and light artillery on the Aus
trian positions on and around Monte
San Gabrielle. but has not yet forced
the enemy to retire. Elsewhere on the
front. especially on the Bainsizza Pla-
teau, the mist ard fog is so dense as to
rccessitate the use of searchlights even
in broad day to maintain even a moder-
ate artillery play. The only infantry
activity consists of sudden dashes,
raids and patrol actions.
An official statement from Vienna
under Fridays date declares that up
to that time the lighting had been most
violent on Monte San Gabrielle, the
Italians on Thursday having vainly at
tackled ten times on the northern slope
and again on the western slope. II is
also said that Cadorna's men are still
striving to nullify the Austrian sue
cesses on the Carso. The total number
of Italians captured since the latest
drive began is given as 500 officers and
$4,000 men. Rome has announced the
capture of $4,000 men of all ranks.
Dispatches from Udine say that vio-
lent storms in the Isonzi region have
transformed peaceful streams into tor
rents, torrents INTO rivers and plains
into lakes Of mud. Nevertheless, the
Italians continue :heir raiding opera
tions to determine the strength and
makeup of the Austrian formations
defending the new lines. Prisoners
taken in these minor combats. il is
said. reveal that the bulk of the enemy
defences is manned by regiments just
arrived from the sso-Rumsnian
front. A number OF Austrian gunners
recently captured declare they were
brought 70 the Italian theatre from the
front in France.
Until the weather clears it is unlike
iy there will be any engagements OF
Importance either east of Bainsizza or
on the Carso, and Monte San Gabrielle
must fall before Cadorna renews his
offensive. This stronghold stands like
a levee stemming the Italian food, and
connecting the Austrian line between
Tolmino and the coast Cadorna's men
probably could storm it. but the sacri.
flee of life entailed would be great, and
the Austrians eventually will be forced
out by the plunging fire OF the Italian
guns on Monte Santo. By that time,
however, the new Austrian fortifica-
lions in the rear will be thoroughly
con solidated.

Lornc McFadycn, Of an Ontario bat

conduct medal for splendid devotion to
duty while acting as a strctcher-bearcr
during a raid into the enemy's lines.
When the raiders withdrew several
wounded men had to be left behind in a
she'll hole close to the enemy's line.
McFadyen remained with Thorn for two
days and night, used his clothing to
bind their wounds and make them more
comfortable, and eventually brought
all the wounded men back into our own
lines.
The award Of the military medal to
twenty-four non-commissioncd officers

talon which did gallant work at the
capture of Hill 20, and had already
earned high praise for their fine
achievement at Courcelette, shows that
