ABomb Raid by Shell-Light

The picture of a night attack executed by the
English German trench in France is drawn
in the COrnhi Magazine by Boyd Gable:
''The hour chosen for the raid just about
dusk. There was no extra-specia preparation
Immediately before IL. The guns continued to
pour in their fire, speeding II up little, perhaps,
but more than they had done IL OF times
in the last "A hours. The infantry cambered out
OF their trench and filed out through the narrow
openings in their own wire entanglements.
''Out in front faint whistle cut across the roar
of fire. They're off, said the forward officer into
his phone, and a moment later distinct change
in the note of sound of the overhead shells told
that the fire had lifted, that the shells pass
Ing higher above his head to fall farther back in
the enemy trenches and leave clear the stretch
into which the infantry would soon be pushing.
For a minute two there was no change in
the sound Of battle The thunder of the guns
continued steadily, burst OF rifle machine
gun fire cracked spasmodcally.
Men gulped in their throats drew long
breaths of apprehension that this was the begin
ming of discovery of their presence in the open,
the first of the storm they knew would quickly
follow. But there were more shells for the
moment, and the rattle of machine gun fire d.
mnshed and the bullets piped thinner and more
distant as the gun muzze swept around. The in
fantry hurried on, thankful for every yard made
in safety.
But at the attacking point the infantry were
shells for the most part struck down harmlessly
behind them. The men were into the fragments
Of broken wire, and the shattered parapet loomed
up under their hands minute after the first shell
burst. Up To this they had advanced In silence
but they gave tongue and with wild yells
leaped at the low parapet, scrambled over and
down into the trench. Behind them few forms
twisted and sprawled on the broken ground. but
they were no sooner down than running stretcher
bearers pounced on them, lifted and bore them
back to the shelter of their own lines.
In the German trench the raiders worked aud
fought at desperate speed but smoothly and on
what clearly a settled and rehearsed plan.
There few Germans TO be seen. and most OF
these crouched daZed and helpless, with hands
over their heads They were promptly seized,
bundled over the parapet. and told by word or
gesture TO be OFF. They waited for second bid
ding, but with heads stopped and hands above
their heads straight to the British line. or
two doubling after them guards Some
of the prisoners struck down by their own
guns shefre and these just as promptly
grabbed by the stretcher bearers and hurried la
under cover.

The shortage of pork may be met
partially by the proper care OF fall
pigs, says b. l.. Thompson. associate
professor of animal husbandry at State
college. Keep the fall pigs fairly
warm and dry, and feed them on bone
and muscle, producing diet so they
will develop "A strong framework upon
which ,hcy may lay fat when being
finished. Professor Thompson sug-
gests the following: 1T is very i'm
portant that the fall pigs be fed so
that they will not only make salts.
factory gains but will also make a
profit on the feed. Corn, being low in
both protein and mineral matter-b both
of which are necessary to growth IN
bone and muscle-must be supplement-
ed by feeds which supply an abund-
anCe ~ these two materials. The sup.
Elementary feeds will depend largely
upon local conditions Skim milk and
buttermilk fed in the proportion Of
three parts to one of grain are as good

Eat Substitutes.

While the food administration is
urging the substitution of olcomar
garine and other vegetable fats for
lard and animal fats, the thrifty South
Dakota housewife needs no urging to
make this substitution Consideration
OF the price Of oleo as compared with
the price OF lard is enough to cause
the average South Dakota housewife
to order the vegetable fats. Accord
ms to G. N. Herreid, federal food ad
ministrator for South Dakota, the av
eragc price OF oleomargarine in the
state il thirty-four and threc-tenths
cents per pound. The average price
Of lard is thirty-four and half cents
The average price of oleo in North
Dakota is thirty-four and half cents

Farmers can help very materially
in cutting down the amount of wheat
used, by making whole wheat -four and
also by grinding corn TO use on Il .
table, says w Ia. Wenz, prominent
South Dakota farmer in letter to G..
N. Herreid, Federal Food Admins
traitor for South Dakota.
MANY farmers have feed mills for
grinding feed and corn for their
stock" continues MIR. Wenz. These
mills can be used for making whole
wheat -four and cornmeal. One mill
in neighborhood could do the work
for many. Dull burrs are used and
they are set close together for grind
ing fine. BY grinding it twice a very
good quality OF meal is made.
"The whole wheat -four is sifted and
the fine -four is used to mix with
white -four for making bread. This
bread is very healthful and Is pre-
ferred by many to the bread made
from patent -four alone. The coarser
part is used for breakfast food and
makes first class article at only a
fraction of the cost OF the prepared
breakfast foods. Corn meal will keep
long time in cold weather In hot
weather il is best TO grind only a
small amount al a time. We consider
corn bread used part of the time is
more healthful than using wheat bread
exclusively. Yours for more efficiency
in the use of our resources. w n.
