Washington, May 9.-Nine new regi-
ments of army engineers, to be COM
posed exclusively of highly trained
railway men, will be the first Ameri-
can troops sent to France.
They will go "at the earliest possi-
BILE moment" the War Department an
nounced, for work on communication
lines, but speculation as to the exact
time when or to what points they will
be sent is forbidden because of the
submarine menace.
The new forces will be volunteers
raised at the nine great railway cen
ters of the country. Each regiment
will be commanded by an engineer
colonel of the regular army, aided by
an adjutant. All other officers will
be railway engineers or officials.
The expedition will have a total
strength of between 1900 and 10000
men, each regiment being composed
of two battalions of three companies

Paris.-With the entrance of the
United States into war, the American
field ambulance corps has decided to
develop two important new branches
of it's work. These are:
First-A military transport service,
in which the Americans will have
charge of the transportation of am
munition and field supplies at main
points where offensives are in prog
ress.
Second-A military school at which
the Americans will receive special
training under French officers lead
ing to appointment as officers of the
French army after few weeks of
intensive training.
Both these steps have been worked
out by Prof. A. Piatt Andrew, chief
inspector of the American ambulance
corps, together with the French mill
tary authorities, and the actual COM
mencement of both branches will oc-
cur this week.

ing machine which we supply with a
certain amount of raw material in the
form of feed and this raw material
is manufactured nto milk. The same
rule holds in running the milk manu-
featuring plant as would hold in the
running of any other manufacturing
plant; it is run most economically
near it's full capacity. Ever yone
who feeds animals must comprehend
that first of all, the animal must use
a certain proportion of its food to
maintain the body. This is he first
requirement of the animal and it is
the first use to which it puts its food.
In the case of an ordinary dairy
COW the amount required to maintain
the body is about sixty per cent of
the ration. In the case of the heavier
producing animal the proportion of
the ration used for this purpose is
less. IL should be clear that, after
going to the expense of giving the
animal the necessary amount to
keep her alive, it is the poorest econ
omy to refuse to furnish the other
forty per cent to fifty per cent which
she would utilize exclusively for milk
production.
The only way to feed a COW econo-
Is W lieu nGEa llDtIdlly 81
she has the raw material to make in
TO milk. Then if she does not deliver
the goods she should be sent TO the
butcher. The farmer sometimes rea-
sons that with high priced feeds il
does not pay to feed well. It certain
ly does not pay to feed well. 1t GER
tainly does not pay under such con-
ditions TO feed inferior cows literally
but such conditions make it all the
more necessary TO feed the good cow
enough to use all her milk produc-
ing ability.
Amount of Grain and ROughness
TO Feed
The only economical way is to feed
cows according to the amount Of milk
produced. There certainly is any
thing but good judgment behind the
common practice in many herds of
feeding all the animals the same
amount of grain. Under such condi-
tons the high producing COWS are un-
derfed and the low mixers receive
too much. The cow should be fed
practically all the roughage she will
eat up clean. The difference in ra-
tons fed to different animals should
be mostly in the grain. The follow
ing may serve as general feeding
guide:
/. Feed all the roughage they will
eat up clean at all times.
2. Feed one pound Of grain a day
for each pound Of butter fat produced
Ia week, or one pound Of grain for
each three pounds of five per cent
or four pounds Of 3.5 per cent milk.
3. Feed all the cows will take
without gaining in weight.

Grand Ledge.-Roe Parsons of
Grand Ledge has an intelligent shep-
herd dog. He can give the animal
orders through the telephone to go
after the sheep and bring them to
the house. Recently Mr.. Parsons
needed "Shep" to go after them. The
dog at the moment happens to be at
home, half a mile away. The tele-
phone rings. Bring Shep to the

is brought-he knows what for. The
receiver is put to his ear and he lis

and bring 'em up" says Mr.. Parsons

is to go.
With a short yelp, "Shep" bounds
from the phone to the door, takes a
wide detour and gets the sheep, and
in about fifteen minutes the people
at the Office half mile away see dog
and sheep approaching. He slows
them down as they approach the of
flee, and when they halt at the pens,
he lies down behind them until the
order is given, "Let them go"; then
he rises steps to one side, noses the
sheep back and lets them go.

Why suffer from bad back, from

dizziness and distressing urinary
ills? Belding people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills. Could you ask
for stronger proof of merit?
M. H. Barlow, 514 S. Pleasant ST.,
Belding, says: For some time / had
noticed that the action of my kid
neys was irregular and the kidney
'secretions contained sediment. There
were pains across the small of my
back and colds always settled in my
kidneys. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised at Connell's Drug store,
gave them a trial and their use cured
me. Since 1 used Doan's Kidney
Pills some years ago l haven't had
any kidney trouble. l am glad to
confirm the endorsement / gave at

faced roads on many miles of this
route as soon as funds are available.
On the Wolverine Pavedway the in
dications are that by the close of the
season this highway will offer con-
tinuous improved road from Lansing
to Detroit with the exception of one
or two stretches in Livingston coun-
ty. Genesee county recently voted
bonds to the amount of 81 ,000,000 for
road construction and proposes to
build a concrete road across the
county from north to south on the
old 'Genesee plank as a part of their
road building program for 1917. La
peer county has let contracts for
extensive construction. Monroe coun-
ty heads the list with 105 miles pro-
jected for 1917, much Of which was
started last year.
Upper Peninsula counties are ac-
tive also. Already the Cloverdale
Trail offers one Of the longest
stretches of improved road in the
state, reaching from Menominee and
Ecanaba to Ironwood. Additions to
this and other important trunk lines
will be made during 1917.
"Most of the foregoing is in addi-
ton to the work that will be done
under the Covert or assessment dis
trict act which provides for road
construction upon petition of persons
representing fifty-one per cent of the
frontage along road at least two
miles in length, a portion of the cost
of which assessed upon the property
benefited. 1t is safe to say that
more than a million ard half dol
lars in cash are now deposited in the
hanks of Michigan to continue the
construction of roads under this act
during the season of 1917.
"There are at present assessment
district petitions on file with the
state highway commissioner from
counties not under the county road
system aggregating approximately
onethousand miles Of road, some of
which have proceeded to the point Of
letting contracts but ON which no
more has been done owing to the in
ability of the state to sell the bonds
for construction. The Legislature has
amneded the act and it is thought
that bonds will readily be sold. Ii
this proves to be the case, the con-
struction Of a very appreciate por-
ton of the thousand miles will be
started this season.
