enough. In Germany today the man
who will tell the truth must be hus-
tied out of the way. That is why |

the strength of the country, such as it

they are slaves; starving, starving

The few who speak soon find them

go on paying the price; thousands of

Central Powers casualties now must

Is ranged against Germany, as we'll

hundred millions in the States, and
the millions of millions of money;
the lnnumerable factories and ship

put hundreds of thousands of fresh
troops on this front next spring, and
that the exhaustion Of Germany long
before then will be frightful-
frightful now, has been frightful for
a year and more. They know it all,
and, brute devils they are, they chose
to keep the awful slaughter going, not
because they hope it can alter the
end, but for what you call "wait and

day what they can put off till tomor-

Never before since the world be-

PRISONER IN ENGLAND
TELLS OF THE WAR
Extracts from article in Boston

This Boche really understood the
whole business. He was unlike any
other Hun have seen. | suppose you
must call him Boche because he was
born In Munich and was serving in
the German army. But most of his
native Bochery must have been purgeu
out of him by living among civilized
people. He spoke English, not a bit
like foreigner, and altogether it was
difficult to realize he was a Hun at
all. For years, he said he had been
dealing in land and mines and things
III America. He happened to be visit
ing London when the war threatened
He'd never taken out papers in the
States, and he was afraid of being in
termed or something, so he skipped
out the day before war was declared
and got to Germany. For long time
he was employed there on special
work, but when the Somme push was
on last year and men were needed. he
had to join up. He had served on
different parts of the front. This is
what he told, quivering now and
again as he thought of it:
"This war is the greatest crime the
world has ever seen. The crimes that
made the French Revolution are moth
ing If you compare them with the
crimes of the beasts who are run
ming Germany today, and keeping this
war going. They were only thieves
and brigandS when they began it, and
thought they'd bring it off, but now
they're the bloodiest murderers by
wholesale that the world ever pro-
duced. There never was anything like
1t before. They know perfectly well
they've lost the war; they've known
for months that the last chances thev
ever had have gone. But they are too
frightened for their own skins to ad-
NIT 1T and call a halt, and because
they are frightened of what the peo-
pie might do when they learned the
truth. they keep the thing going and
sacrifice many thousands of Germans
every single day and millions of mon
cy-what for? To shield the repu-
tations Of handful of princes and
politicians. It's the greatest crime
the world has ever known. Here on
this front our people are being killed
like flies. 1eur artillery kills them
In lunches. There isn't a minute of
the day but legs and arms are being
blown off. Our men would gladly give
themselves up to end it, but you know
they cannot. When there seems to be
chance, there is always an officer or
non-commissioned officers about. 1t
is not only your guns that kill Many
Germans fall ever day with German
bullets in them. They are driven like
dogs to the fighting. And to what
end? Because our cursed Kaiser and
the creatures we call statesmen are
afraid of their lives for what will
happen to them when the people know
it's all up.
But plenty of them know it now.
Many knew before ever I was forced

HARROW STUBBLE LAND.

AS soon as grain is removed fro 4
the fields, they should be narrowed to
make dust mulch to prevent undue
loss of moisture, and to keep the land
from baking, or crusting over. If it
bakes, which it will do in hot dry
weather, it will break up into clods
when plowed, and be very hard to
put in good shape for planting. Un-
less it is to be plowed right away,
while there is good season in the
land, it should be narrowed with a
disc harrow so that it will break up
good if it gets dry before all can be
plowed.

"I have found that leather tool

very handy for wrenches and small
plow attachments Attach it to the

trated. Fixed in this manner it is ac-
cessible and is also where you can

Spreading Manure Properly.

clearly demonstrated that cleanliness Is
one of the best preventives for hog
cholera.
Now, If sanitary conditions are bene-
lhcial to q hog, such conditions are
surely good for a man. A man only
lives one life, and this life should be
.one of practice rather than experiment.
There are no grounds for supposing
that accumulation Of filth and manure
can have, no effect on the vitality of a
human being living in the vicinity. of 1t.
If man thinks that his obligations
are finished when he furnishes food
and clothing for his family he is
wrong. He should share his intelli-
gence and demonstrate by putting sani-
tary actions into practice for family
health protection. A family well
dressed and we'll fed, but without
health, is no particular benefit to q
community.
Nearly all the prevalent ills Of the
body are either directly or indirectly
disseminated by the housefy. The
fly cannot develop without breeding
places. Such places are generally con-
taminated with disease germs of Vari-
Gus kinds. The elimination Of the
breeding places will rid the country OF
the flies, and also carry many Of the
germs which they commonly carry.

StillWater.)
At this season Of the year barnyard
manures- and decaying waste can be
distributed in the cultivated field to a
marked advantage. Fertilizers con-
sisting of manure and decaying straw
and hay furnish excellent harboring
places for gnats, bugs and flies that not
only menace the farm crops, but also
live stock and humanity.
If the manure and garbage are scat
tered in the open fields and plowed
into the soil they will no longer give
protection to the farm insect pests.
The value derived from increased pro-
duction on account of increased fer
tility will more than pay for the la
Dor. The civic improvement brought
about by clean yards and barns will
increase the value of the premises. The
air will be purer and the disease germs
fewer, and the infection to both man
and stock reduced to minimum.
Much has already been discussed
relative to the removal Of manures and
filth for the purpose of freeing the
premises of hog cholera. Experts have

POINTS IN BUILDING SILOs
Huge Receptacle Must Be Alright,
Perpendicular and Free From
Corners and Projections.

In selecting and building silo the
following points fundamental to its
success should be kept in mind: To
be satisfactory silo must be alright,
perpendicular and free from corners
or projections on the inside. A round
Silo therefore. is the best type.
The doors must be tight fitting and
close together so that a minimum
amount of silage mus be removed in
order to open the door. A continuous
door is, therefore, advisable.
Build your silo rigid and able to
withstand strong winds. Construct it
so freezing will be reduced to the mini
mum.
