TIERS IN FRANCE, July l6. - The
western part Of Lens, particularly that

tiles and drums loaded with deadly
vapors were sprayed upon the Ger

enemy attempted to cause a cessation
OF the attack by putting an artillery

was being circulated. In this he failed
and the operations proceeded until
the available drums had been uis-

An Obvious Explanation.

In The cavalry service it frequently
happens that, by reason OF death, deser-
tions and discharge, the number OF men
in a troop is less than the number OF
horses on hand. Atroop captain not long
since had occasion to send requisition
for ordnance stores. including among
other things "sixty-five nose bags"
After the usual long interval this re-
QUESTION was returned from the military
depot with the Endorsement, Respect
fully returned 10 Captain, -th Cavalry.
The returns of his troop show that he
has only fifty-six men, and explanation
is desired as to why he requires sixty
five nose bags"
The captains Endorsement in reply was
as follows: Respectfully returned. The
nose bags are required tor my horses, and
not for the men,"

anced proportion to nitrogen. was Ell
Their lost by drainage or stored.
Now 1t is characteristic Of the alb
sorbent quality Of the soil that 1t holds
potash with great tenacity. Even when
1t is introduced with a fertilizer be-
yond the soils power Of retention, 1t
Is not lost to any material degree by
drainage, even In a wet season, be-
cause of the strong absorptive power
Of the subsoil, for this element. Dur
ing periods of drought, when there Is
an upward movement of moisture, on
account of strong surface evaporation,
from the soil and the leaf surfaces Of
the crop, the potash is carried from the
subsoil back into the surface soil. SO
It moves back and forth.
Now, since potash from Germany has
been out of the question and fertilizers
are used, at present, in which there
Is little or none of this material, the
crops have been as large as usual.
This fact Is fully explained, by Its
property In relation to soil absorption.
The result of the war will be an educa-
ton to our farmers and truckers which
will save them from spending, In the
future, so much money for potash.
A successful North Carolina farmer
reports "My soil is a sandy one and
such as Is usually claimed to need pot
ash. And yet for two seasons with
out 1t my crops of potatoes have been
as good, or better than before, when
was using ten per cent In the fer
tilizer"
Still the potato crop takes potash
from the soil and there Is a limit OF
availability Of this element, when the
accumulated horde falls below GER
tain amount. This is because the
smaller 1t becomes, the very strong
absorptive power of the soil allows too
little to be taken up by the circulating
soil water to properly feed the grow
ing crop, though absolutely there may
still be large amount present
Now here Is where the valuable prop
erty of a soil amendment comes into
pay. II IL AllC Sl-hhl IApBNANy - A~i
that II has the power Of lessening the
soils holding power for potash. Lime
takes its place in the standardization
and liberates it to the soil moisture
for the crops benefit. Two years with
out potash in the fertilizer should be
a limit of risk for prudent potato
grower like the one we have quoted.
Resort to the soil amendment we have
called attention to would then be In
order. The application had best be a
moderate one. to be repeated in the
following seasons.
The utilization Of bought potash IN
excess of the seasons need, as we
have pointed out, has been neglected
topic in agricultural literature, in spite
Of its great value.

A FEED TO IMPROVE
THE EGG YIELD

Many farmers, In feeding their birds,
overlook the fact that beef scrap or
some similar feed is very essential
during the winter months If a good
supply of eggs is to be obtained. A
convenient method of feeding beef
scrap Is In a mash made Of three parts
cornmeal and one part each Of wheat
bran, wheat middlings, and beef scrap.
SKINNED milk or buttermilk may be
used in place Of the beef scrap, but II
the supply is limited, some scrap also
should be fed.
In experiments conducted by the De-
partment of Agriculture, it was found
that for the first four months pullets
fed ration containing beef scrap pro-
duced, on the average, Ais eggs, while
those fed the same ration without the
scrap produced only 49,. The cost Of
feeding the latter birds was % cents
higher for every dozen eggs produced
than In the case OF the pullets fed
Deer scrap.
The birds should have plenty to eat,
but they also should always be eager
for each meal. II one-third Of the
scratch grain furnished them Is fed
In the morning and two-thirds at night,
the birds will take more exercise than
II they receive all the grain they de-
sire IN the morning. Good scratch mix
lures may be made Of equal parts by
weight of cracked corn. wheat, and
oats, or of two parts OF cracked corn
and one part each Of wheat and oats.
