French are in more advantageous po-

their offensive in April. Last night a

The British to the north are again
reporting gains, after a period in
which only raiding operations were
attempted. The advance was scored
IN the region of Cherisy, between
Croissilles and the Arras -Cambri road.
In one of their big attacks during the
height of the Arras battle British
troops were reported as having reached
Cherisy, but were not able to hold 1t

HIS EYESlGHT COMES BACK

Been Blind.

Brentwood, Tex.-Full eyesight was
suddenly restored to Mr.. Lawhon of
May, this county, few days ago, as he
was walking down the street. One eve
had been blind for a number of years
and short while ago he lost the sight
of the other eye when a bit of wood
struck him In 1t.
On the recommendation OF physi-
clans he had the injured eye removed
and the one that had been blind for
years operated upon.
The operation brought very little re-
lief as he could barely see at all, but
while he was walking down the street
a number of days afterward, the full
sight of that eye came to him suddenly
and he can now see distance of 200
yards from him without difficulty.

HOGS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL
When Animal Once Acquires Habit of
Getting Out of Pasture He Is
Hard to Restrain.

When a hog once gets the habit of
getting out of its yard, pasture or
whatever its inclosure may be, it is
one of the most difficult animals to
control. You can stop breachy horse
or cow if you build a fence high
enough, but a hog goes through If
there is no hole in the fence it makes
one. OF course if the fence was so
tight at first that the hog could not,
get through, it won't bother you the
second and forty-ninth time.
Insufficient or irregular feeding, or
failing to supply something which the
animals crave in the feed makes hogs
restless and ready to take the first
chance of exploring the outside world
in hopes of finding what they failed
to find in their troughs.
Il saves time and patience to keep
them contented and at home.

TREATING HOGS WITH WORMS
Prescription Given for Pig Weighing
About 100 Pounds-Give Salt, Sui
phur and Charcoal.

To expel worms from hogs the fol-
lowing prescription is right for a pig
weighing about 100 pounds: Santonin,
five grains; calomel, two grains; areca
nut, two grains; sodium bicarbonate,
one dram. Keep the hogs off feed
for about IL hours and give the dose
in slop of middlings. The evening
of the same day give mash of wheat
bran. This will flush the bowels.
Gather all worms and burn them.
Worms often are the forerunner of
disease.
If hog or pig has a big appetite
and thriftless condition, with dry dead
hair, it is a good indication of the
presence of worms.
Salt and sulphur and charcoal should
be kept in every pigpen and pig yard
so the pigs can help themselves.
This is a corrective and a preven-
tive of worms.

COLTS RESPOND TO FEEDING
Size of Animal Determined First Win
ter After Weaning-Aim to Build
Up Big Frame.

No farm animal will pay more for
abundant feeding than the colt. The
first winter after weaving, the ulti-
mate size of the colt is largely deter
mined. We understand that the French
Percheron breeders feed as much as
ten pounds daily of bran and oats to
their weanling colts.
The object. of feeding the weanling
colt is to induce the formation of a
big frame, with heavy muscling. Our
aim is not fat. Therefore, we prefer
to feed some bran, oil meal and oats
in connection with corn. For this rea-
son, also, we prefer good quality of
clover or alfalfa hay to timothy hay.
In connection with timothy or corn
slower, we would feed a mixture of five
parts of corn, three parts of oats, three
parts of bran, and two parts of oil

ParIs.-General Joffre has been su

French armies In the field has been
placed In the hands of younger man,
| General Nlvelle, the hero OF Verdun.
General Joffre has been made head OF
the allied war council. Unprejudiced
observers agree he has today the great

ers In the present war. He will rank In

He won the battle of the Marine,
where defeat would have meant com

He won II twice--flrst, by directing
French preparations In the critical
years, 1911 to 1914, and, second, by
leading the armies of the Republic
In that fateful month of September,
1914, on the field of battle.
Joffre has commanded the armies of
a warning nation longer than any other
man In this war. Hlndenburg's victo-
ries In the two battles of East Prussia
involved smaller numbers of men and
smaller responsibilities by far than
those which the idol of the French peo-
pie has borne through more than two
years of heart-wracking strife.
The Old Man of the Lakes follows

long he will last? In the British land
