THE WAR SUMMARY.

The Russo Rumanian defense of the
Sereth line In northern Rumania has
turned to the form of heavy counter
attacks which are being delivered
both along the Moldavian frontier and
between Fokshani and the Danube.

back the Teutonic front was made
along the main Sereth line between
the mountains and the Danube. in the
vicinity OF Fundeni. Russian troops
In mass formation were thrown into a
storm attack yesterday. The Teutonic
lines were reached, but could not be
held by the attacking forces.
Elsewhere there has been little
fighting, so far as the reports of the
official staff reveal.
Another report from correspondent
with General Sarrairs army declares
the entente forces in Macedonia are
to be augmented preliminary to an
offensive which will have for Its OBJ
ject the cutting of the Berlin Con-
stantinople railway running through
Serbia, Bulgaria and Turkey.

GROWING SEED HAS BIG POSI-
BiJfTtES-

1t is the honest opinion OF many
men Of Fremont county that seed
growing has great possibilities. and
the men who voice this opinion are
men who know. several OF them hav.
ing had experience in seed raising
either here or elsewhere Upon small
acre tracts of high valued land. where
orcbarding. has proven improbable
the business of growing crops for seed
viii likely prove a profitable one. In
tensive poultry and garden raising
may be another-means OF profit
Now why should the seed business
be profitable here? First because we
have good climatic conditions-abund.
ant sunshine. Second. water when its
needed. Small acreage. permitting in
tensive work and best care is also an
advantage. Contract prices by seed
houses are constantly being raised.
For example. cucumber seed this year

.cumbers were planted on May Goth
and harvested on Sept. 10th.
Mr.. Wailendorff also raised 2is
acres of muskmelons for seed. which
will net him about $500. and Il acres

5000 pounds of sweet clover seed from
his own sweet clover patch and from
patches along the roadside and ditch
banks. AIR. Peterson has contracted
this seed to the MangelsdorR seed
house ut 9 cents q pound.
The growing of seed should be in.

prices. but requires sure and steady
work.
Mr.. Chas !. Bsay at tho Colorado
Agricultural, College gives the follow
ing in the News Notes:
With hay selling from $500 to
$1,000 per ton. a greater use should
be made of straw in fattening cattle.
Where straw is fed with alfalfa hay
To the extent of one-third the hay. the
straw will almost replace an equal
amount of alfalfa. Oat straw makes u
good combination with corn siiage for
wintering breeding stock. a ration of
i6.7 pounds corn silage, 90 pounds
oat straw and 3.5 pounds clover hay.

beef steers at the Illinois station.
Corn silase and straw are both cheap
feeds and should be used as much as
possible when hay is SO high in price.
The straw should not form the entire
roughage ration for stock. but in Judi
cious combinations may be made to
show at least half the value of hny"
