prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agrieulture.)
Shelled corn is not easily graded
and all seed corn should therefore be
looked over carefully before the ears
are shelled. The grading Is done to
secure uniformity of size and shape
In each lot Of kernels, so that they will
be dropped evenly from the compliant
er when it is set for special lots Of
seed.
II the seed ears vary as to size OF
kernel they should be separated into
two or three grades, according to the
type Of grain they bear. These grades
should be shelled separately-always
by hand and not by a mechanical she'll
Grand then tested In the corn plant
r. After finding the numbers on the
planter plates which drop the kernels
most uniformly. each lot should be
numbered with corresponding figures.
All this should be done when work is
slack in the winter and before the
spring rush begins.
Be sure there Is enough for two
years planting. You may need It your
self If the first planting is drowned
out; and there never was a time when
there was not a demand for seed corn
known to be good.

GUNFIRE ON WEST
FRONT INCREASES
THE ENEMY's FIRE HAS GROWN
HEAVIER SINCE AMERICANS
OCCUPIED NEW SECTOR.
French Attack German Lines in Inr-
raine, Advancing Over Wide
Front.-5ritish Gun Power
Has Been Increased.

London.-The German artillery fire
has been increasing continually since
the Americans have occupied their new
sector. The enemys fire is now three
times as heavy as it was when the
Sammies arrived in this sector. Two
hundred shells was the average at first,
whereas, ii now ranges from seven
hundred to eight hundred.
On the enemys side concentration
of Krupp guns has been necessitated
by the activity of the batteries sup
porting. the American trenches, which
are continually Smelling the German
lines and the rear.
French detachments made a heavy
attack on the Germans in Lorraine on
February 20, entering the German lines
over large front and capturing more
than 400 prisoners, according to the
war office announcement.
The British captures in the past year
included 1853 heavy howitzers, 6S heavy
guns, 437 field guns, 1855 trench NOR
tars and 2S14 machine guns.
This statement was made by James
fG,, MACPHERSON, parliamentary under
secretary for war, in introducing the
army estimates in the house of com
mons.
British gun power had increased by
almost 90 per cent during the past
year, and the army was doing every
thing possible to economize, with n
view to saving tonnage, he declared
These economies would save two mil
lions tonnage in the distant theatres
of the war this year.
Mr.. MACPHERSON said that the
strength of the German army was al
ready far greater on the western front
than at any previous period, and al
though the allies at present are supe-
rior in men and guns, the balance
might soon be in favor of the enemy.
The allies must be prepared for a de-
termined offensive at any early date,
but all measures to meet the situation
have been taken.
The strain on the British troops and
those of the allies, he added, might be
severe, but the successes of the Brit
ish and French armies in the past year
had inspired all ranks to the belief in
heir ability to hold their own.

Loss by Teaching.
The Cornell University experiment
station found that as much as 30 per
cent Of the plantfood constituents In
manure was lost by teaching and I'M

Is how best and most economically to
prevent this loss. The best plan where
1t Is practicable Is to haul cut the ma.
nure regularly, spread IL upon the land,
and pillow 1t under. The best results
are usually obtained by turning under
shallow. The next best plan is to keep
the stock under sheds or in stables
with sufficient litter to absorb ali liq-
uids. This treatment will not only
take up moisture but the continual
trampling Of the animal win exclude
all air, 80 that the accumulation may
go on without injury to its quality un.

spread 1t on the land. The litter or
waste matter used for bedding not
only serves its purpose in helping to
preserve the manure, but adds consid.

No farming people have ever been
able economically to maintain the fer
dlity Of their soils without the use OF
live stock. Farming without the use
OF manures Is a waste Of energy and
results in the exhaustion of soils. The
neglect in preserving and increasing
the quantity Of farm manures has
been a great drain on the natural re-
sources of the American farm, espe-
cially In the southern portion of the
United States. The lack of intelligent
care Of the waste products and the
convenient form of commercial fertil-
izers have Jointly been responsible for
the almost general neglect Of farm
manures.
Value Of Fertilizers.
Commercial fertilizers have played
and will continue to play a great part
In the farm economy of the country.
Their full value, however, cannot be
obtained by their exclusive use. A
much greater value can be had from
them when used wisely in connection
with manure and green crops. One Of
the principal reasons for the small
value sometimes realized from manure
of any kind is that 1t has not been
properly handled and through expo
sure and neglect has lost a large per-
ceEtage Of its plant food. The chief
difference between barnyard manure
and other vegetable matter is that the
process Of passing through the animal
has rendered the fertilizlng elements
of the former more available for abb
soption in plant growth. The best
authorities tell us that from 70 to 90
per cent Of the fertilizing value Of a

Upon the urgent request of the

my above the names of two natives
of Aisace-Lorraine was erased at po-
lice headquarters today and the term
French Alsace-Lorrainer' was sub
stituted.
The police officials are strictly for
hidden to give out the names of the
men, but stated that the registrants
strongly objected to being classed as
enemy aliens and communicated al
once with the officials of Societe des
Ames de L'Alsace-Lorraine in New
York, as well as the French Consul
General and the French Embassy in
Washington.
A special messenger was at once
dispatched from Washington to
Bridgeport and he brought with him
the request of the French Ambassa-
dor as well as the authority from the
State Department of the United States
He claimed that the two men were
under the protection of the French
Republic and should not be classed al
enemy aliens.
fhe term enemy alien was at once
stricken out and their papers now
read French Alsacian Lorrainer.

number, 331 were residents of Bridge
port; rs of Stratford; 20 of Fairfield;
two of Milford; two of East Norwalk;
three of Shelton; and one eacn from
stepney, Long Hill, Trumbull and
Westport.
Tonight the registration of German
aliens will close at o'clock. Final
permit cards will be issued to enemy
aliens on February %, and all enemy
aliens found without a permit after
March l will be subject to instant
arrest by the United States authorities
or police.
Out of the large number of enemy
aliens registered there were some who
did not have permits, but those were
mostly composed of backwoodsmen
who did not understand the orders
issued last August. Out of the num-
her without permits eighteen were
held for investigation by the Federal
authorities.
When German quits his job his
permit is void and he must return it
