position. which WAS recently won by
The british. After a terrific bomba rd-
mont lasting considerable time. the
German infantry came down tho slopes
Of Greenland Hill from the direction
Of piouvain
The British artillery made tho hill
side look like mushroom farm, bulbs
OF shell smoke sproutinE UP thickly
over the entire field. Machine guns
strcamed nickcled missiles into the
enemy ranks OH the front and in the
TANKS
Sheer weight and momentum carried
the Germans beyond the British out
posts, and even into the chemical works
themselves. but. like a rubber ball. the
rebound was instantaneous. and swiftly
the defenders struck. After a long and
hard fight. the enemy was thrown out
with heavy losses. leaving the British
established more securely than ever
The lighting continued about Bulle-
court, and German partial success
recently won there was wiped out In
the meantime. the British strengthened
their positions eastward toward RoeuN
and drew mite closer to Lens. Here
the Germans continued their work of
wreckinG the district. Buildings are
being blown up and machinery is being
destroyed in order that the great min

One of the important conditions
affecting the economy Of mutug
large herds with machines -.
found IL be the elimination of .".
necessary tabor Herds that uH,
mally required three men for m,N-
ing by hand. only two OF whom
were needed to feed aud care Tor
the animals. required only two III, n
to milk by machine. The available
lab and the lab, T requirements are
therefore better balanced in the lat
ter case, since the same two men
NAV milk and otherwise care Tor
the herd, the labor of the third
mixer required under the hand
system being dispensed with. This
tendency toward economy when
machines are used cannot result in
actual economies in all cases when
a small number of rows is MIXED,
since depreciation, fuel consump-
ton, repairs. interest on investment
etc, are responsible for considera-
Bile cost which must be charged to
the milking expense.
The studies were made in typical
intensive dairyine regions III Della,
ware, Chenango AMI Chautauqua
Counties, N. Y, and among mixed
dairyine and farming enterprises
in Lenawee Caunty, Mich. Fulton
County, Ohio, and McHenry County
Ill 1t was found that in herds OF
Is cows or less the average time
required to milk COW by hand was
a fraction over 7 minutes, and by
machine a fraction under 5 min
utes. In herds of over SO COWS,
however. the time required to milk
by hand was a fraction under Z
minutes and by machine Ais min
utes. In milking by hand, the av'
erage cost per COW in herds of Is
COWS or less was $l09l year
as against $40 45 in herds Of 30 or
more. When machines were used
the cost was SLIT year in the
smaller herds and S734 in herds
OF SO or more.
The value of the labor replaced
by the milking machines was found
to vary from 81 63 per COW in herds
of 10 COWS or less to 1888 per COW
in herds of more than so cows. The
ADDITION to the time available for
field work due to use Of the ma
chimes was fouId to vary from 10
to 81 hours, according to the size
of the herds.
Attention is called to the fact
that milking machines must be
operated by competent operators
and that stripping by hand
after the machine is essen
tial if satisfactory results are to Oe
obtained The majority OF the

land for planting. The same careful
attention was given to planting and
care of the crop Of beans, for they
had selected this vegetable for their
win or lose venture. The plot of
beans responded tn the care and
much favorab bile comment concerning
it's appearance was heard. Their jo-
vial friends were forced to take ref
uge in comments on bean pulling

farmers the pleasures Of pulling beans
and the wonderfully enjoyable back
aches in store for them. Withou.

been threshed, so an exact report of

the profit will be worth while.
