The season Is near when operations
on the long western front from the
north sea to the Adratic will become
practicable. Nothing is spoken of but
a powerful German offensive to be
launched at the allied armies in
France. 1t Is assumed the allies Will
attempt no forward movement, play
ing waiting game until great
American army Is ready to join In
counter offensive. For either political
or military reasons, the Germans have
encouraged the view that they will de-
liver their great blow somewhere IN
FVance" when the ground hardens
after the spring thaw.
AS a matter Of fact. the weather
conditions have been favorable OF late
for preliminary assault, but nothing be-
You'd "nibbling" has developed. Last
year General Haig was striking hard
almost daily and threatening the Hin
denburg line. He took many prisoners
and gained a good deal Of ground. But
even in the Cambria sector, where the
Germans can use strategic roads and
railways to assemble masses Of troops
rapidly,and where they counter attack
ed and drove Byng back nearly three
miles, there are only artillery duels
now 1t would Of course be sound
tactics to suspend the blow untilthere
Is no mud on the western front to bog
the guns that must follow on the heels
Of advancing infantry--if. that Is to
say. the Germans are planning great
movement to break thru at the weak
est link in the line.
A prisoner taken to British head
quarters dlscloses the intention OF the
Germans to begin an offensive, posi-
bly, not the great stroke in March. at
what point he was not prepared to
say Much Is made OF this communica-
ton. 1t might we'll be that the rank
and file are instructed to talk to their
captors about the coming German or
fensive in France. But abnormal
train movements" the arrival Of more
guns, and constant training OF units
are reported to complete the case Tor
an attack In force. 1t may como at
any time when the weather conditions
seem favorable, but the puzzle is that
1t should be ostentatiously advertised.
Hitherto publicity has not been Ger
man cara III the IlllltdiS SdhAS'
BY this time the enemy. beaten back
from the Marnc, headed off from Cal
ais. foiled at Verdun many times. and
driven from concrete intrenchments
time and again. should have no illus
ions about the prowess Of the allies
and might be expected to hold their
defensive qualities In great respect.
The breaking down Of an offensive IN
France in 1918 would register the
failure of Germany as military
power in battle with the western al
lies. Would the cost DO worth while
when the Germans have lately proved
their skill in n political offensive that
has eliminated Russia from the war!
German propaganda may be more
formidable than German powder. Is 1t
not conceivable that the kaiser may
elect to strike again in Italy when no
has made his combination? There he
might play the political game
with some chance Of success.

TIMELY POULTRY YARD HINTS

BY this time you should have dis
posed of all surplus sockerels and
culled your flock Of pu.lets and hens
down to the point where you will car
ry the survivors through the winter
feeling they will pay. for tkeir keep.
Having done this, don't 'hiIz you
can then neglect your fowls, but in
stead give them all the attention you
can for the more help they get now,
the better results you will get later
on.
Some poultrymen cut down on the
feed when the fowls begin to molt.
This is wrong, both for the pullets
and for the hens, for the first thing
you know you will find you have
thrown your hens into full molt and
have stopped the growth of your pull
lets. You will remember that in a
former article we discussed feeling
and it's relation to maintaining ami
NAL life and the manufacture of eggs.
Don't think now, just because the
hens are beginning to molt and eggs
are not so plentiful, that the feed
should be cut down. Instead, bear in
mind that it takes feed to grow new
feathers, and the sooner the hens are
over the molt, the sooner you'll get
eggs. Don't skimp on the feed.
Take the case Of early hatched
pullets that 60 into what is called
the "pullet molt" after laying few
eggs This molt will last from two
to three months and production is
lost when eggs are at the highest
price: Generally, this molr is due to
people not having separated the pull
let's from the hens when they start
ed cutting down the feed. The result
was an absolute loss Of eggs from the
pullets.
OF course feed is high, and it may
sound easier to say hese things than
it is to pay for the feed, but never
theless you'll find it pays to give The
proper amount Of feed and care to
your flock, for egg prices this year
will very likely go beyond last years
price, and unless all signs fail will
hit the Dollar mark this winter.
With such prospects, keep your
poultry work and go after it harder
than ever. And remember to give
special care to the breeding cockerels
as they will be the foundation of next
years flock.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
.. In Il before breakfast.

Headache of any kind, is caused by
auto-intoxication-w means self
poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller arteries
and veins of the head producing vio-
lent, throbbing pain and distress, called
headache. You become nervous, de-
spondent, sick, feverish and miserable,
your meals sour and almost nauseate
you. Then you resort to acetanilide,
aspirin or the bromides which temper.
arily relieve but do not rid the blood OF
these irritating toxins.
A glass OF hot water with a teaspoon.
full of limestone phosphate in it, drank
before breakfast for awhile, will not
only wash these poisons from your sys:
TEN and cure you of headache but will
cleanse. purify and freshen the entire
alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate. It is in
expensive, harmless as sugar, and al
most tasteless, except for q sourish
twinge which is not unpleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best, II
tongue is coated or you wake up with
bad taste, foul breath or have colds,
indigestion, biliousness. constipation
or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos'
phated hot water cure to rid your
system of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and it Is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels every
morning never have any headache or
know q miserable moment.

DON'T LET MILK SPOIL

In this time of need for food every
effort should be made to prevent milk
from spelling. Cows should be kept
clean and should be MIXED in clean
surroundings into a small-top or COW
cred pail All utensils which come
into contact with the milk should be
thoroughly sterilized with steam for
at least five minutes, and milk should
be cooled promptly at so degrees or
less and maintained at that temper
ature. Whenever these conditions are
met, little milk will be wasted. In
this time of terrible destruction Of
human life it is particularly ncces-
sary that milk be produced under
such conditions as to insure safe
food for babies. This must he done
by decreasing number of men train
ed to do it. A great task and a great
opportunity for dairymen are involv-
ed.

FARM BUREAU
Continued from page p

to help in securing farm labor, tc
show ways of saving human labor by
the introduction of machinery, above
all to secure the cooperation of all
farmers in the campaign to increase
production-all these are accomplish
ed through the medium Of the farm
bureau with the assistance of the
county agent. The county farm bu-
reau represents the farmer; and upon
the farmer depends the success of
the Nations war program.
Store Potatoes at Harvest Time
The potato crop of the north is
produced to supply demand for a
period of seven to eight months. For
this reason the crop must be stored
in part in the consuming centers and
in part in the region where it IS
grown. The crop is so bulky and
heavy that it can not all be handled
by the railroads at one time. In or
der therefore to conserve the crop
and adequately supply the trade, as
we'll as to stabilize prices, steps
should be taken to secure constant
and adequate flow of potatoes from
the producer to the consumer. This
means adequate storage on the farm
and more attention to buying in guam
tity and holding potatoes by the con-
suming population. This involves
both the dealer and the private user.
In normal times Is per cent to 80
per cent of the stocks on hand should
be held by dealers. Last year 20 per
cent or less of the crop was in deal
ers' hands January l. A cold spell
followed, transportation was difficult
and hazardous, and the consumption
of potatoes dropped off because Of
inadequate supplies in the cities, with
the result that enormous quantities
were held by growers late in the
season, and some were disposed of at
a loss. The most regrettable fea-
ture, however, was that this valuable
food was not available when it should
have been and as result did not
serve it's best purpose in feeding the
nation. Every family that can secure
and store it's supply of potatoes for
winter this fall should do so.
Potato seed--American potato yields
are not as high as they should be.
Careless methods of seed production
and seed celection are among the
causes contributing to these low
yields.
At harvest time, dig by hand a suffi-
.cient area to permit the selection Of
hills containing a suitable number OF
tubers of the size and shape desired.
Place the product of these hills in
storage and hold them as seed stock
for planting seed patch for next
season from which the succeeding
years supply Of seed may be har-
