FOE FEARS FRENCH TANKS

With the American Armies,-Greater
Iaurels daily are being won by the
French light tanks which are cooper
ating with the American forces In
pushing the Germans back toward the
Rhine.
Among the many individual feats Of
the tanks and their drivers which have
come to light, one Of the most interest
Ing is that of Brigadier Collier, who
has been decorated with the cross Of
the Legion Of Honor for his work in a
light tank which enabled Is American
soldiers to capture 700 Germans.
Several hundred of these tanks led
the counter-offensive from the Villers-
Cotterets forest In July, which marked
what appears to have been the turning
point of the war They broke through
the enemy's lines, destroying his ma
chine guns, overcoming strong centers
Of resistance and spreading panic and

SERVANT LACK AIDS HOTELS
Scarcity of Help In Homes Sending
Families 10 New York
Hostelries.

New York.-Although the fuel prob
lem which developed In New York
homes last year is to great extent re-
sponsibIe for the unprecedented bust
ness of the apartment hotels this fall,
there have been new developments
which increase the influx of apartment
hotel dwellers throughout the city. The
greatest individual reason is the sery-
ant problem.
Persons who have had servant stats
for years without a change have been
known to lose as many as three Ia a
single week lately because Of unprece-
dented demand for experienced help
and the prices offered for it.
The apartment hotel habit is easily
formed, and with the scarcity Of fuel,
scarcity of help, scarcity of suitable
apartments and scarcity Of vans to ac-
complish large moyings the fact that
there is hardly an apartment hotel va
caney left in New York is not especial
" remarkable.

SALT CORN TO RETARD HEAT
in Drawing Out Water Which
Then Evaporates.

prepared by the United States Depart

Owing to the large amount OF soft
corn that was harvested last fall, spe-
cial care should be given to prevent
it from heating in the crib. Corn that
has already been cribbed without sort

weather unfit for husking. This is es-
pecially true If stored in large cribs
without special ventilation. Corn in
large, broad cribs freezes during the
winter months and while frozen ap-

carried on no special experiments with
salted corn, but the quantity of salt

where free circulation OF air through

PROFIT FROM MUSKRAT FARM
Animals Are Easily Kept, Become Very
Tame and Breed We'll in Mar
row Quarters.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
If many of the swamps and marsh
lands which are now occupied by musk
rats are reclaimed for agricultural pur-
poses it may be necessary TO start
'muskrat farming in order to supply
the demand for muskrat fur, is the
opinion of biologists of the United
States department of agriculture. For
the present, however, sufficient num-
Der of muskrats TO meet demands for
their fur are trapped from marshes
and swamps that are, for the most
part, unprotected, millions Of skins be-
ing taken each year. So long as the
natural breeding places remain undis-
turbed and reasonable closed seasons
are maintained, the biologist say. there
is little likelihood of the numbers of
the animals being depleted. This is
because these animals multiply much
more rapidly than most other fur
bearers. With adequate protection in
the breeding season and with the pres
ent habitat available, from ten to
twelve million pelts can be taken in
North America annually without deple-
ton of the supply.
The practicability of muskrat farm
ing already has been demonstrated.
The animals are easily kept, become
very tame, and breed we'll in narrow
quarters. Under present economic con-
ditions, however; keeping muskrats on
preserves is more practicable than
keeping them in restricted quarters.
The former plan is in remunerative
operation in the Chesapeake Bay re-
gion. In Dorchester county, Nd, marsh
land formerly considered almost use
less, and now used as muskrat pre-
serves, is worth more. measured By
actual income, than cultivated lands

Bean anthracnose and blight are

seed. The most effective method to
reduce the amount Of disease, accord
ing to the United States department of
agriculture, is by Manipulating the
seed very carefully before planting.
This will eliminate most of the spot
ted, discolored, shriveled, understood,
and cracked beans, and does great
deal toward insuring a uniform stand.
A termination test of the seed will in
dictate whether good stand Is likely
TO result. This work should be done
during the winter months when work
is slack and before the spring rush
begins.
