tion period and while the COW is dry
is the secret of preparing the COW for
the succeeding lactation period. This
may appear TO be wasting feed, but
this is the important period wheh it Is
most valuable. During the last few
weeks Of the milking period grain may
be fed at the rate of one pound TO each
two pounds Of milk produced, reducing
at the period when the COW Is TO be
dried, When dry, about eight pounds
Of grain should be fed daily-more If
the COW is in poor condition. 1t would
not be profitable to feed inferior cows
this way. The grain ration should be
bulky, laxative and nutritious, having
Slightly more carbohydrates than a
milk ration, with nutritive ratio Of
about one of protein to seven Of carbo-
hydrate and fat equivalent.
During this period protein and fatty
tissues are actually being stored upon
the body to be used in the production
of milk before the COW Is in shape to
digest and assimilate n full ration. 1t
Ia just as serious to crowd the appetite
during the first month after calving as
to neglect to lay on this supply Of nu-
trients The COW should be kept hun
cry.
A week before calvng reduce the
grain to four or five pounds, feeding
mostly bran and oats. On the day of
calving pound and half of epson
salt, lukewarm water and good hay
are enough for well conditioned COW,
although two quarts of bran mash may
be useful. Begin the next day feeding
lightly, and after four or five days in
troduce grain mixture gradually. In
crease this gradually about one-fourth
pound per day. Do not expect COW to
handle all the feed called for by her
yield of milk, If she has been properly
conditioned and is coming to good
flow from one month to six weeks Is
early enough to get her on full feed.
For from three to six months she should
gradually lose the flesh stored up.

British Front in France and Bel
GUM, Aug. 12--(By The Associated
Press)-Hand to hand fighting Of the
most furious nature. in which bayo-
nets and dubbed rifles were utilized,
developed in the Glencorse wood yes
terday as the result of a German coun-
ter attack by which the enemy re-
took the southeastern portion of this
elevation. Glencorse wood was the
southern extremity Of the line taken
by the British artillery in Fridays Of
tensive and owing to the fact that it
overlooked the surrounding country.
the Germans determined to regain It
at any cost.
Yesterdays counter attack was
most determined. The Germans pre-
coded their infantry advance by an
intense bombardment from guns of all
calibres and then sent troops for
ward under heavy barrage The Ger
mans we're met by a strong fire by the
British artillery and as they ap-
rroached$ the wood, were moved down
IN large numbers by machine gun fire.

We're willing to pay tie price for this
important position and the infantry

death until the wood itself was reach

Two British battalions, the Queens
Royal West Surveys and the Bed
fords, made valiant fgh. against the
numerically superior forces of the
enemy. bat were forced to withdraw,
battling every inch OF the way with
their bayonets and their rifles used
as clubs. In the northern portion Of
the wood, however. they made such
determined stand that the enemy
was unable to continue his advance
and the British retained possession Of
1t. The German losses were exceed
ingly heavy, being greatly in excess Of
the British casualties.
The Westhoek ridge position which
the British took on Friday morning
had held against numerous German
counter attacks and the new line now
extends along the forward crest Of the
ridge with its left on the Tpres- Roul-

ing into the Glencorse woods. German
prisoners say that they were taken by

the British were upon them before
they were aware that an attack was
impending.
The fighting along the ridge and in
the GIencorse wood on Friday was
most bitter and sanguinary, a large
part Of the ridge being taken with the
bayonet. Heavy casualties were in
ficted on the defenders. At one
strongly defended point the Germans
withstood the British for three hours
with machine gun Are ana then the
