LONDON. Nov. 13.-Italy's line.
reinforced with British and French
troops and guns, has successfully
withstood the first blow aimed at
the Piave river positions by the
Austro-German forces, according
to reports received today.
Contact has been established be-
tween the two forces along prac-
tically the whole line. Heavy ar
tillerying was reported.
The first clash came apparently
on the Italian left (northern)
wing. where the Teutonic forces
sought to carry out a thanking
movement. This was around Ash
ago. The enemy was repulsed and
a strong counter attack resulted in
the capture of number of pris-
oners, according to Rome's YER
sion.
Berlin insisted that $4,000 Ital-
ians had been cut off.

Planting on low ridges makes the pototoes more easily worked and less sur face soil is exposed to the sun. light and, consequently, the evaporation of much needed moisture will be lessened. Do not fail to plant plenty of this most nourishing vegetable. Ev- cry farmer should have at least 1 2 to 1 acre ot potatoes if he is to protect his family.

Hog cholera is raging again in some parts of the state. Do not permit it to get started in your herd. This year above all others Is the time to be careful. Your porkers are too valuable to lose Vaccinate all hogs and take care of the pigs as soon as they are weaned. Save your next years
 pork supply by acting at once, and observe the law by burning all carcasSes. Report all sick herds in your neighborhood to the county agent or to the State
 Veternarian at Little Rock. Do not forget that vaccination does not immunize your hogs against all other diseates. Ninety ger cent of the Arkansas hogs die from neglect. If you want re
 suits keep them clean inside and out. No farm animal responds to clean surroundings as does the hog. Sanitary conditions will do much to keep your hogs thrifty and growing.

Save Your Bottles.

The home canning specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture urge every house keeper to save bottles-especial ly wide necked ones for put ting up fruits, preserves, Jeltie S, jams and fruit juices. Saving of bottles is highly important, they say, as there threatens to be a serious shortage of regular jars and preserving cads this season.
 The frnit products named. if sealed with corks and paraffin, can be kept perfectly in these makeshift containers Jellies, jams. and preserves can be kept even in ordinory drinking glass es. by the use of paper and par affin. Fruit juices should be pack ed in ordinary small necked bot ties.
 Vegetables, soups. and meats, on the other hand. to keep must be sealed by the usual fruit-jar or tin-can packing methods. Re serve regular containers for foods that can not be packed in bottles.

 The specialists are also urging all members of canning clubs and others not only to can Irod ucts, but to dry and evaporate all such products as apples, pumpkin and squash. They ad- wise strongly that if containers are scarce locally. those in stock should be used to preserve per ishable products which have the highest nutritive value. Nothing should be packed in jars or cans which can be conserved effective ly in other ways.

Stop Breeding Flies.

the common fertilizer ingredients calcium cyanamid, acid phos- phate, and kainlt, has been de- monstrated by recent experi- ments made by the bureaus of Entomology and Chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture. The valuable fea- ture of the discovery is that by the new treatment the fertiliZ ing value of the manure is in creased at the same time that it's menace to health is lessened Under treatments for prevent ing flies breeding in manure heretofore in use, the fertilizing value of the substance has been decreased or not affected.
 The fertilizer ingredient indi cated by the experiments to be most effective in preventing the development of fly maggots in manure is calcium cyanamid. a compound in which nitrogen from the air is fixed by electri- city. The investigations showed the value, however, of adding other ingredients to balance properly the chemical effects and to prevent waste of fertilizing elements. Acid phosphate was found to be the supplemental Ill. gredient most needed, but a still better fertilizer wa obtain ed when kainit was used also. The three sub stances, cyanamid, acid phosp hate, and kainit, give a fertilizer complete in itself, containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash, as well as lime.
 AS a result of the experiments the departments specialists ad- yocate the use of mixtures of 1 pound of cyanamid and ? to 1 pounds of acid phosphate per 4 square feet of surface exposed, when the manure is in boxes or pits. When the manure is in open piles the rate of application should be i pounds of cyanamid and or more pounds of acid phosphate D 8 bushels of ma nure. To be sure or retaining all the fertiliziny elements, more than 4 pounds of acid phosphate are recommended. When kainit is used it may replace a portion of phosphate.
 When manure from pits treat ed as suggested above is applied as fertilizer, the rate should be 5 tons per acre to provide the amount of cyanamid calculated to be most effective. Manure treated in open piles shonld not be applied ip excess Of 2 tons per acre, since it contains a much higher percentage of the commercial fertilizer than the pit treated product.
 Earlier experiments made by the departments specialists prove that beth borax and helle bore are effective in preventing flies from breeding in manure. The use of borax was found to constitute the cheapest effective treatment, costing ] cent per bushel of treated manure. This treatment may lessen the value of the manure for agricul tural purposes. however. The hellebore treatment wasl found to cost about l cent per bushel of manure, and neither lessens nor increases the fer tilizing value. The treatment with ferti lizer ingredients just evolved costs from one-half cent per bushel of manure when treat ment is in pits to IS cents per bushel when the treatment is in open piles. This cost is based on the normal selling prices of the fertilizer ingredients. and is ma terially lessened in effect by the increased fertilizlng efficiency of the treated manure. Not only. is the value of the manure increas
