p.irvmen and Stock Raisers Are eau

Ration to Animals.

prepared by the United states Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
I'm order TO save feed-to see that
none of IL Is wasted-dairymen and
live stock men should study the needs
of their animals and see that only the
required feed Is given In balanced
ration. This Is particularly impor-
tant ut the present time, since an IN
crease In feed and more live stock
are needed to supply the needs OF TINS
nation and the allies.
To reduce the problems Involved In
the selection OF feeds on the basis OF
their nutritive value-which are meas
ured In terms OF protein, carbohydrate,
and INT contents-in order 10 make
them apply to everyday feeding. has
not been simple. In bulletin re-
Gently issued by the United States de-
partment of agriculture tables are
given which make the balancing or
rations simple matter OF multlplica-
ton and division. II is explained that
protein, carbohydrate. and fat CON
tents of IA feedstuff are not the only
factors affecting its feed value Pro
teins differ In their nutritlve quail
ties, while some substances not In
cluded In the classes mentioned are
necessary to the proper maintenance
of the bodily functions. The palatn-
blllty and succulence of feed has
much to do with Its value as feed.
Many feedstuffs have physiological ef-
fects entirely apart from their nutri-
tive qualities. A ration may be per
fectly balanced from the standpoint or
relative content of protein and en-
ergy producers. and yet be quite I'M
practicable, the specialists point out.

taken merely as guide. II Is es-
planned. to be followed In the light OF

NAL nutrition.
The selling price OF feed Is not
reliable guide to its relative feeding
value. The carbohydrate feeds-corn.
oats, barley. kafir. and various others
and the protein feeds-cottonseed
meal, tankage. and brewers grains--
are foOnd on the market at various
prices. The feeder desires to know,
with certain given prices. which is
the cheapest feed to buy-the true
value Of bushel OF oats. rye. or bar
ley for feed when corn is worth ~
cents bushel. He wishes to know
the value OF a ton Of brewers grains.

meal Is worth $50 ton and corn 81

French, American and British Troops

London.-It is assumed by expert
military observers that the Germans
are about ready to being another drive,
the most desperate of the war. What

be the decisive action of the war;
Whether it be on wider front than
the offensive begun May 21. when the
enemy, all things considered, made his
most powerful effort of the year. or
whether ii be of more limited proper

which way the tide is turning
The landing of 1.0000O Americans
in France has given the allies more
confidence than they have had at any
time since last March. Although there
are only 100000 of our, men holding
sectors of the battle front our reserves
will give the allies numerical superb
ority in the next battle. 1t is believed.
The allies have attempted 10 disar-
range the enemy's plans by process
of 'nibbling." In reality the nibbles
have been rather large bites. Their
object has been to ascertain where the
enemy is gathering his forces. to Sc
cure jumping off places for the next
fights and generally To weaken the
enemy.
In this task French. American and
British troops have been engaged.
Southwest of scissors the French made
several attacks, gaining ground each
time and taking hundreds of prisoners.
