CHAPTER ".
The Boy SHIPPER.

n MOTHER sniping incident was
~ the case OF Belgian boy only
fourteen years old. On a road
which was much used for transport we
noticed that nearly every night some
OF our officers would be shot. This
went on for some time, and no one
could explain it. One day one OF our
fellows brought In this Kid and said
that he had found him with a German
rifle and ammunition in his possession.
The boy was cross examined and
finally admitted that 1t was he who
had been shooting officers on the Ouder-
dom road. He said that he had been
furnished with the rife and told where
he got his ammunition every day He
said he had instructions not TO shoot
any officers with red on their uniform
(staff officers. Now, why he should
have received such an order as this
was mystery to me.
He said that he had been at 1t for
two weeks, and during that time he
had bagged sixteen officers. He said
he received o francs about 81 2Ol for
every officer he shot. He was taken
to the rear and shot at once. We tried
TO follow up the information he had
given as to where he had received his
ammunition. but his friends had all
gone, so l suppose they had been
warned
About this time. too, we caught an
old man eightytwo years old. In
broad daylight he was out with pair
OF nlppers cutting our wires. We
caught men dressed as women and
women dressed as men. We caught
people flying pigeons from their houses.
In fact, we caught spies doing almost

We were always trying TO make the
trenches we had taken over from the
French little more comfortable. We
made wooden gratings for the bottom
OF them, besides the lookout platform.
From empty oil drums we made bra
ziers, and these In particular were
mighty agreeable at night.

Despite the revolving spectacle of
carnage that was in progress in many
parts of the world, and which seems
enough to disgust a long-suffering
Deity with the human family as
whole, beautiful weather was sent us
for our Thanksgiving Day. The day
was an ideal one, and in keeping with
the mild and beautiful autumn that
we have thus far enjoyed.
In Cedar City the day was observed
as holiday, all the business estab-
lishments with the exception of the
drug store and cafes, being closed.
Some of the residents utilized the day
in pleasure excursions to various
points, some in rest and thanksgiving
at home; a number of people congre-
gated at the Fair grounds, where n
number of horse races were matched
and run, and other amusements en-
gagged in.

Nimrods Have Pleasant Outing.

of Cedar City's nimrods, including DR..
A. N. Leonard, Geo. II. Lunt and
Gustave Soderlund spent the morning
hours in duck shooting, or rather duck
hunting, for ducks We're decidedly shy
and scarce. However, they managed
to bag sufficient for their Thanksgiv-
ing dinner, for which they were truly
thankful. The party started out late
Wednesday afternoon and when just
beyond Enoch an accident befel their
car which rendered it useless. The
Doctor returned to Enoch and teie-
phoned for assistance, while the other
two members of the party "hoofed"
1t on to Rush Lake, distance of about
five miles. They speak highly of the
entertainment given them at the farm
house at the lake, and say that they
enjoyed every minute of the outing,

that, they took two lines OF German

few days after this an incident
occurred that. TO my way OF thinking,
was one OF the most wonderful things
that ever happened. Volunteer dis

were called for. About eighteen OF
our chaps offered themselves. and of
course all were accepted. A dispatch
was to be carried about two miles
along the road which follows the bank
Of the User canal. This road was con-
Ftantly being swept by German ma
chine gun and rife fire. The dispatch
was to be handed to a French CON-
mander who was waiting for 1t.
The first man was given a copy OF
the dispatch, and he started out with

nose OF the Germans and was In full

Amount of Grain For Milk Cow.

Just how much grain should be
fed COW giving milk is question
Of considerable economic impor-
lance. On the average farm under
normal conditions, roughage feeds
are the cheap part of the ration.
The concentrates are nearly always
the expensive part of the ration.
In studying this question from the
profit standpoint, the quality of
the roughage used must always be
considered. Good alfalfa hay with
corn silage will sustain fair flow
of milk and with ordinary cows it
may be mote profitable to feed no
grain at all when such combination
of roughage can be fed. The sue
cess of these two feeds in milk pro-
duction is a strong argument for
the silo and clover or alfalfa hay
on the dairy farm. If the rough
age is inferior in quality it is diff.
icult to secure good flow of milk
without feeding considerable grain.
and this always increases the cost
of production.
Professor Henry says in Feeds
and Feeding" THE dairyman who
persists in feeding his cows wholly
on such low grade roughage as tim.
othy hay, corn slower. ETC., must
pay the penalty by feeding from
10 to IL pounds of expensive con-
centrates daily if his cows are to
maintain a reasonable flow of milk.
The capacity of the COW must al
so be considered. A COW of good
dairy type and temperament will
nearly always pay for some grain
in addition to all the alfalfa and
silage she will eat. In actual prac-
tice milk cows may be given all the
roughage they will eat and then
an allowance of grain or concen-
trates adjusted in accordance with
the capacity for production, A
COW will ordinarily consume about
two pounds of dry roughage of
good quality to each 100 pounds
of live weight. or pound of dry
roughage and three pounds of 81
lage to each 100 pounds of live
weight.
A common rule for feeding con-
centrates, after the roughage capac-
ity has been reached, is to feed a
pound of grain daily for 3 or A
pounds of milk the cow is giving,
depending on its richness, or to
feed pound of grain daily for each
pound of butter fat the cqwspro.
duces weekly, Another practical
rule to follov IS to- give as heavy
an allowance of feed as the COW
will pay for at ruling prices for the
feeds and for her products. and
then only increase this allowance
as it is met with a corresponding
increase in production Kansas
