when he was state auditor of accounts,
Charles IL. Darling of this city, candi-
date for governor, said that he did not
wish to make any comment at this time
regarding the governor. He stated how

that at the time Frank E. Howe, also a
candidate for governor, was urging the
reelection of Gov. Graham he knew
that Mr.. Graham S record as auditor
was not clear and with that knowledge
still urged that Mr.. Graham be returned
to office.

GENEVA, Aug. 15.-Details received
here concerning the recent British ae-
rial bombardment of Karlsruhe say
that the northern portion of the sta

was the arsenal, where there was a
heavy explosion. One bomb exploded
on the wing of the palace of the Grand
Duchess Sophie, killing or injuring
several visitors and servants. A sec

which, however, escaped injury. A
third bomb smashed the windows of

Another factor in the feed situation
is that the yields Of oats are better
than expected. the rains are putting the
fall pasturage in excellent condition,
and with the large hay crop, the i'm
proved conditions for second growth,
the large oats and barley crops and the
prospects of corn crop far superior to
last year, the feed crop situation in
prospect for the coming year is radi-
cally better than last year.

Imported Guernsey Calves.

Thirty five imported Guernsey calves
were distributed among the members OF
the Boone County Guernsey Calf Club
at Lebanon, Ind, July 9th. Charles l..
Hill imported the calves from the Is-
land of Guernsey. The boys of this
calf club have bad little or no experience
with dairy stock, and purohssing . calf
with pedigree was an entirely new in
novstion to them.
On the morning of July 9th the boys
we're at the barn where the calves were
being assorted, groomed, and prepared
for the afternoons parade and distrtbu.
tion among the boys. 1t was no small
occasion for that section of Indiana, for
up until q few years ago, when the
Crane Bros. broke into Hoosier society
with their yellow and white COWS, little
attention had been given to this dairy
breed, or any other for that matter. But
these fellows have stirred up this section
of Indiana, brought discomfort, created
desires for better things In live stock,
and helped thirty boys form calf club.
Each one is now proud owner OF cali.
These boys will learn more about calves
and pure-bred cattle In the next year
than their forefathers have learned in
the past thirty years, for the purebred
calf is q great educator.
Most of the boys borrowed the money
to pay for their calves, only few paid
cash. These borrowers were financed
by the Farmers' State Bank. Each boy
gave his note for one yesr and to be re-
newed at the end of that time for two
years more II desired. The father or
guardian of the boy signed the note with
him. t
The calves were we'll bred lot, but
thin In flesh. The appearance OF their
eyes showed them In good health and
with good care and feed every one should
do we'll. Mr.. Hill gave the boys aome
good advice regarding the feed and care
Of their calves. he informed the boys
that feed on the Island of Guernsey was
very short which with tho long journey,
accounted for their being thin and some.
what rough In appearance. The inter
est which these boys showed in their new
charges will soon overcome the effects oi
past treatment.
It was great day for the boys, but q
greater day for'the older people OF Lob.

Passing the of Old Red Cow.

Passing the of Old Red Cow.
Professor A. j. Mcclure of Minnesota
is not only . good business dairyman,
but Q man of sentiment. He shows
both OF these traits In an article to The
Farmer and We take pleasure In repro
ducipg . portion of bis communication.
1t IL a. follows:
"Goipg over the records OF the farm
since we took charge June 1, 1910, / find
that the farm had 8 cows and IA head of
cattle altogether at that time. Since
then I find we have sold IL COWS, 3S
steers, and six veal calves. Four year
lings were butchered on the place; two
COWS and five calves died. At the pres.
sent time there are IS head Of cattle on
the farm consisting of 25 cows, 81 heifers
s steers, and a bull. OF the IS head,
only FIVE show the original breeding, FIVE
red COWS. They are of the old herd
and We could afford 10 keep them longer
but for their room being needed by the
oncoming heifers.
"When the last Of the red cows leave
the old farm next fall, I shall stand with
barred head. When my father came to
Minnesota In the early years he had q
yoke of oxen and big red COW. The
last of the old COWS blood will disappear
with the passing of the five grade Short
horns this fall. I have much respect for
the grade Shorthorn COW. I have often
had words OF praise for the common COW.
But high priced land and high-priced
labor calls for cows of greater produc-
ton, and so we say to the old herd,
Goodbye.
"The first full year we had the farm
(19l1), the total sales from the cattle
were $3.50. The total sales from the
cattle for 1917 were $2,055 "a. The
value of the herd in 1910 was $40. The
present value is "a 900 or better. The
only animals We bought were three pure
bred Holstein bulls, and the third We are
still using. We are not Dragging at all;
only stating what any farmer might do
and hundreds have done and are doing
better. We rejoice with the farmer who
has done better, but we want to tell him
to keep going II he expects to stay ahead,
for we are on the way"

vost marshaD. He told me to report
to billet No. 7S for quarters and ra-
tions.
It was about eight o'clock at night
and was tired and soon fell asleep in
the straw of the billet. It was mis-
erable night outside, cold, and drizzly
rain was falling.
About two in the morning was
awakened by some one shaking me by
the shoulder. Opening my eyes / saw
q regimental sergeant major bending
over me. He had lighted lantern In
his right hand. 1 started to ask him
what was the matter, when he put his
finger to his lips for silence and whis-
pered:
"Get on your equipment, and, with
out any noise, come with me-"
This greatly mystified me, but I
obeyed his order.
Outside of the billet, I asked him
what was up, but ne shut me up with
'Don't ask questions, It's against or
ders. I don't know myself"
It was raining like the mischief.
We splashed along a muddy road for
about fifteen minutes, finally stopping
at the entrance Of what must have
been an old barn. In the darkness, I
could hear pigs grunting, as If they
had just been disturbed. In front Of
the door stood an officer in mack
(mackintosh). The r. 8. NJ. went up
to him, whispered something, and then
left. This officer called to me, asked
my name, number and regiment, at the
same time, in the light Of lantern he
was holding, making a notation In a
little book.
When he had finished writing. he
whispered:
"Go into that billet and wait orders,
and no talking. Understand"
l stumbled into the barn and sat on
the floor in the darkness. I could see
no one, but could hear men breathing
and moving; they seemed nervous and
restless. I know / was.
During my wait, three other men
entered. Then the officer poked his
head in the door and ordered:
Fall in, outside the billet, In single
rank"
We fell in, standing at ease. Then
