SOME POTATO PARINGS.

Good seed potatoes, free of
blight and rot, are always worth
saving for ones own future
crop, or to supply others.
Feed the Gull potatoes to the
hogs. Cook the potatoes thor
oughly and mix with corn meal,
shorts, or bran. Skim milk is a
good addition.
Grading potatoes for market
increases the possibilities of
sales and raises the price re-
ceived. Keep the culls on the
farms and save the cost of haul
ing.
Potatoes add succulence to the
dairy ration. Where corn
silage is not available and there
are plenty of small potatoes, a
peck a day will give a marked
increase in milk flow. They
should be introduced into the RAJ
ton gradually and should be run
through a root cutter to avoid
the possibility of choking the
animal.

STAKES ALLoN BATTLE

LONDON, Oct. With the
Isonzo front shattered and her
armies in full retreat, Italy is
concentrating her entire military
strength on the Taliamento
River for a supreme stand
againstthe overwhelming Aus
tro-German offensive.
The Teuton armies continue
to sweep all before them, and to-
night they are battling before
Udine, hitherto the Italian
Grand Headquarters and base of
operations. Udine probably will
be evacuated in the retreat to
the Taglimento.
Utter collopse of the Isonzo
front is officially announced in
the. statement issued tonight by
the German War Office. The
Italians are reported to be fall
ing back in disorder on the graet-
err part of the long line from the
Julian Alps to the Adriatic.
The number Of prisoners and
amount of rich war booty falling
into the hands of the Germans
is increasing hourly.
When the Italians reach the
strongly fortified Taglimento
line a battle that will equal, per-
haps dwarf, the struggle of the
Marine is expected.

With the American Army in
France Oct. 20. (By the Associ-
ated Press) The first German
prisoner of war taken by the
American expeditionary forces
died today in an American field
hospital. He was shot when he
encouraged an American patrol
in No Mans Land in front of
the American trenches.
He and another German were
discovered Saturday night by the
patrol and called upon to halt.
The German ran, the patrol fir
ed, and one of the enemy was
hit.
The prisoner was treated at
dressing station and removed
to a field hospital, where the
combined efforts Of several sur
geons failed to save his life.
The prisoner was mail carrier
and letters Of some value were
found on him. He explained his
resence rear the American
trenches by saying ne had lost
his way in the dark. He de-
clared the German soldiers did
rot know that Americans were
GA the front or in France. The
officers tell them nothinghe said.
Americans batteries are con-
tinuing to shell the German lines
at regular intervals, the enemy
following similar tactics.

Miss Leah Forth In Second
Place Followed by Miss
Maude kreiSle

In another part Of this paper will
be found the new standing Of con-
testants in the Review Contest, cor
rected up to yesterday. The new
standing shows the same three
ladies in the first three places, but
not in the same places. By an unus-
ual burst of speed, Miss Leah For
tin of Berwick has taken second
place away from Miss Maud Kreisle
Of Morgan City. Mrs. c. E. Morse is
still in the lead with about $4,000
votes margin over second place.
Her total is $4,000 votes. Miss
Forth has $4,000 votes and Miss
Kreisle has the same number as last
week.
While there is difference of
$4,000 votes between first and
second place this margin only
amounts to five yearly subscriptions
and fountain pen orders, and could
easily be made up with little work.
There is just a little more than a
month left Of the contest and it

IMPROBABLE DAIRY
COWS MUST GO

The man who continues in the
dairy business in the face Of the
great increase in prizes of feed
and other necessities of that indus
try will find it more important than
ever to keep a record of the cost
and production of each cow in his
herd and weed out the ones that do
not return profit, according to
C. H. Staples, Dairy Specialist. Ex-
tension Division, L. S. U.
The cost of keeping record
Of the dairy herd is one of
the smallest items of expense
and give her credit for what she
produces. In order to keep such
record it is necessary to make regu-
lar use Of the scales and milk tester.
The COW that is not returning a pro-
fit should be turned over to the
butcher. The high price of beef is
an additional argument against the
poor producers.
The cost Of keeping records of
keeping record of the dairy herd is
one of the smallest items of expense
attached to the dairy farm; and
when once started it is found to be
simple, easy and interesting. Most
of all, it is very profit
able.-L. 8. u. Press Bulletin.

All of the contestants took a
number of 8 months subscriptions
early in the contest and these sub
scriptions are expiring every day
now. The contestant who took the
