"And We do not help the eggs to

The odor from the dug-up, decom-
posed human body has an effect which
is hard to describe. 1t first produces
n nauseating feeling. which. especially
after eating, causes vomiting. This re-
lieves you temporarily. but soon
weakening sensation follows, which
leaves you limp as dishrag. Your
spirits are Mt their lowest ebb and you
feel sort of hopelessness and mad
desire to escape 1t all. to get to the
open fields and the perfume of the flow
ers In BlIghty. There is a sharp.
prickllng sensation in the nostrils,
which reminds one Of breathing coal
gas through radiator in the floor, and
you want to sneeze, but cannot. This
was the effect on me, surmounted by
vague horror of the awfulness of the
thing and an ever-recurring reflection
that, perhaps l. sooner or later. would
be in such state and be brought to
light by the blow of pick in the hands
of some Tommy on a digging party.
Several times hnve experienced this
odOr but never could get used to 1t;
the enervating sensation was always
present. 1t made me hate war and
wonder why such things were counte-
nanced by civilization, and all the spice
and glory OF the conflict would disap-
pear, leaving the grim reality. But
after leaving the spot and filling your
lungs with deep breaths of pure, fresh
air, you forget and once again want to
be "up and at them"

Reduce Fly Injury to Stock.

Here are some of the preventive
measures advocated by the United
States department of agriculture to
decrease the losses of animals due to
the larvae of flies: Burning or deep
burying of carcasses of animals, the
arranging of breeding operations so
that young stock will be born In late
fall, winter or early spring, the carry
Ing on in winter and early spring
months of branding. dehorning and
other operations resulting In wounds,
taking precautions to prevent injury
to live stock from pens and fences or
while on range or In pasture. the de-
struction of ticks and the poisoning
and trapping of flies. Farmers Bull
letin S57 describes the damage these
flies do and methods of controlling
them. Burning or burying carcasses
is very important. 1t is pointed out,
since 1t Is on this material that mag
gots, infesting wounds. are chiefly de-
pendent for propagation, II all decay

the troublesome blow fies-the Insect

would be practically eIterminated.

ber of birds Is attributed to the aboli-
ton of spring shooting under the op-
Grafton of the federal regulations. The
law already has been very beneficial
to sportsmen and as food protective
measure, and under the continuance Of
existing protection there is every rea-
son to hope for an ever-increaslng sup

prove shooting conditions In the years
to come.
The department appeals to the pa

persons to cooperate with 1t In the
enforcement of the federal law. 1t
is gratifying to know, says a recent
statement from the department, that

CHAPTER XVI.
Battery D 23S,

The day after this 1 received the
glad tidings that I would occupy the
machine gunners' dugout right near
the advanced artillery observation
post. This dugout was roomy affair,
dry as tinder, and real cots In 1t.
These cots had been made by the
II. E.'s who had previously occupied
the dugout. I was the first to enter
and promptly made slgnboard with
my name and number on it and sus-
pended 1t from the foot of the most
comfortable cot therein.
In the trenches 1t is always "first
come. first served" and this Is lived
up to by all.
Two r. F. A. men (Royal Field ar
tillery) from the nearby observation
post were allowed the privilege Of
stopping in this dugout when on duty.
One Of these men. Bombnrdier VII.

to me, and l returned this feeling.

and other fatigues, and then back into
the front-line trench.
Nothing happened that night, but the
next afternoon l found out that a
bomber is general utility man in Sec
tlon.
About five o'clock in the afternoon
our lieutenant came down the trench
and stopping In front of bunch of us
on the fire step, with broad grin on
his face, asked:
"Who is going to volunteer for listen
ing post tonight? l need two men,"

for my turn. Sure enough, with another
grin, he said:
"Empey, you and Wheeler are due,
so come down into my dugout for In
structions at six o'clock"
Just as he left and was going around
a traverse, Fritz turned loose with a
machine gun and the bullets ripped the
sandbags right over his head. 1t gave
me great pleasure to see him duck
against the parapet He was getting n
taste of what we would get later out
in front.
Then, of course, It began to rain. I
knew 1t was the forerunner of a mis-
cradle night for US. Every time l had

Exercise Prevent. Pig 1hump..

When the pigs are from four or five
to ten days old, be on the lookout for
thumps. The best-looking fat little
pig is the one to go first every time.
An almost certain indication Is a lit
tie roll of fat around the neck. While
there is no known cure for tbumps,
the trouble is quite easily prevented.
Plenty Of exercise for the pigs Is the
answer. In cold. stormy weather out
of-dOor exercise is impossible but IL
a central farrowing house with an al
leyway Is used, get the little fat fel-
lows into the alley and put in about
ten or fifteen minutes three or four
times a day chasing them with a bug
gy whip, until they are pretty well
tired out. II this is impossible, try
putting one or two Of the little pigs at
n time In large barrel or hogshead,
placed by the narrowing pen. The
pigs will hear the old SOW making a
fuss and in running around the bar
rel hunting for corner to climb out,
generally will take the exercise neces-
sary to ward off thumps A consider
able part Of the battle is won IL the
litter gets past the first ten days or
so with a good start.
