French Front.-Accuracy and eff

French artillery by the invention OF
an instrument tina. enables French
mapmakers to locate almost exactly
an object within the enemy lines which
has been photographed from an air
plane. In transferring 70 a map the
photographed object, such as an enemy
battery or munition dump, the margin
Of error Is limited to less than i've

This permits the French artillery to
pour its shells with almost certain aim

invention Makes Transfer Easy.
To take a(photograph of the enemy
lines from a French airplane IS an
easy matter, but TO transfer the OBJ
jects photographed to their exact To-
cation Gu a map was for a time ex-
tremely difficult This was due to the
varying heights and angles from which
the airplane observers made their
photographs. BY the invention Of one
Of the officers attached to the geo.
graphical section. this difficulty has
been almost eliminated.
Not only the aerial observation serv-
ice bur other methods Of spotting Ger
man positfons-more especially can
non and machine-gun emplacements--
are utilized as aids 10 the work Of the
military map-maker. The flashes Of
guns as they are fired from the Ger
man side form one valuable adjunct
to his work. but the most important Of
all Is the calculation Of the speed Of
the sound Of the firing charge Of the
German shells. This has been brought
to a basis of such perfection that the
guns can now be located with almost
absolute accuracy. In fact, In recent
operations 1t has proved that the sys-
tenn of observation by sound has given

For fattening animals straw should
always be within reach so that the AMI

ATTENTION TO COLTS FEET
Examine Them Carefully Whether on
Pasture or in Barn-keep Toes
Properly Trimmed.

Look frequently at the feet of the
colts, whether on the pasture or in
the barn, and remedy things before
they get bad. Keep the toes trimmed
down to the proper length and do not
allow the heels to run over and get
round If the feet are kept rounded
on the toe and of the proper length,
the tendency to split and crack will be
reduced to a minimum. In the stable
the feet should be frequently cleaned
and trimmed and the frog kept in its
proper shape.

Alfalfa. if carefully fed and pas

for sheep. The rapid increase in the
production of alfalfa in the United

SEEDING
BOON TO STATE

Seeding operations in North Da-
kota are advancing rapidly in all
sections of the state according to
reports received in Fargo.
The seeding operations are about
two weeks earlier than the average
for North Dakota, and while some
farmers hesitate about putting their
seed in the ground so early, others
are confident they will get the best
results by so doing.
Rain the latter part Of last week
in the western part of the state was
particularly beneficial to that sec
ton, and served to help the situa-
ton materially.
With the early seeding operations
the labor situation has been ma
terially improved. The farmers now
have more time in which 20 do their
work and do not require as much
help as they would otherwise need.
The early season is also an in
valuable aid in the matter of hand
ling their horses. In the western
part of the state the horses ranged
during the winter and are not in
good condition for work.
