the early winter and spring months
furnishing considerable green feed
along with the cured grass. During
the cold months the fourth lot OF cattle
was permitted to run upon this left
over summer pasture receiving no
feed in addition to the pasture except
a few days when everything was
deeply covered with snow.
Mr.. Gwyn has done, in making pas.
lures, upon his. farm what thousands
of others can do upon theirs and d.
tain equally satisfactory results.
In the experiments, referred to It
was found that the stockers grazing
upon the winter pasture did much bet
ter and were wintered much more
economically than those kept. around
the barn and fed upon dry feeds. The
stockers which ate nothing but winter
pasture gained, during the winter,
from II to &c pounds each. The stock
ers which were fed upon ear corn, corn
silage and other stored feeds all lost
in weight. On the average it cost
about $1,000 to feed each one of the
dry-fed steers through the winter
months but the expense Of getting the
pasture-fed steers through the same
length of time was just half as much,
even when each steer was charged
$1.OO a month rem for pasture.
Farmers raising hogs and poultry
should, by all means, during August
and September, take steps toward
nro1;5jnr oboon FondS for fbo uinfor
The only available cheap feeds, as far
as hogs and poultry are, concerned,
are pastures. Corn, wheat, oats and
other grain feeds and by-products are
all unusually expensive unless fed in
conjunction with pastures. Many tenn
porary pastures are suitable for both
hogs and poultry, An acre Of good
land planted In rape affords grazing
for five or six 16O-pound fattening
pigs throughout the winter provided
a half ration of grain is employed as
a supplement. Or. one acre of good
rape should make from 800 to 500
pounds of pork. An acre of rye, oats,
barley or wheat will usually do just
about half as well but in addition
will yield a partial crop after the
hogs are removed.
The value Of pastures and range
conditions was emphasized again in
some poultry experiments conducted
at the Fender Test Farm during 1916.
One lot of Buff Plymouth Rock hens
was given the range of the farm where
many green crops were available the
year around. A second lot of hens
was confined in a dry lot and fed upon
dry and other high-priced, feeds exclu-
sively. During the year the range lot
of hens produced 1851 eggs while the
hens in the dry lot produced only 314
eggs, although, they we're fed about
as we'll as could be expected under
dry-lot conditions. The hens in the
two lots were fed exactly the same
feeds except those in the range lot
had the freedom of the farm and OBJ
tanned green feed, bugs, and worms.
The range lot of hens returned a clear
profit of $41.O2, while the0fock of So
hens in the dry lot suffered a total
loss of $33.66.

TO RELIEVE CONGESTION

To relieve the congestion that has
resulted from rendering all water
bills at the same time, it is announced
today by the Water Department that
residents OF the northeast secion
will receive their bills this year on
February 1, instead, OF on July 1 as
formerly. The bills for this year will
only cover the period from July
to December 31, which will have pass
ed when the bills are rendered. Bills
for the northeast section will be pay
able on March i.
Residents of the northwest Sec
tion that had not paid their water
bill on December 1 we're put on the
arrears list. The Water Department
announces today that those on the
arrears list will be notified at once,
and unless payment Is made. their
water will be cut off. 1t will cost

1t Is pointed out that each man, be
he French, British, American, or
Italian, naturally has the interest and
welfare Of his men and his section of
the line most at heart. For him
war Is only along that short strip.
What the public demands is a man

no special one under his command.
Only One Man-JOnre. =
As Herve said this morning:
There are no thirty-six generals
who have worldwide regulations and
Europe. There are no thirty-six geh-
erals who have shown courage and
sheer nerve in serious hours. even a
marvellous spirit OF offensive in the
hours when material and men were
lacking to attain the end. There are
no thirty-six generals who have won
a victory which in itself balances all
the victories OF Hindenburg.
There is one only.
His name is lie pere Joffre!"
Will they put Joffre in again, take
him from his quiet, well-earned rest?
Has he already been out of it too
long? Those are questions to be set
tied. But there certainly is no other
man, for since last April, when Haig
and all his troops were put under
Nivelle, the English will surely fuss
at having a Frenchman over them:
nor does II seem likely that the
French generals would find an Eng
lish general sufficiently their supe-
rior.
