way back to my old barracks.

be the training we get, for when a

very nervous around the hands and are
not always able to control them.
So I went for the sentry and wal
loped him in the jaw. Then received
his bayonet through the fieshy part of
the forearm. Most bayonet wounds
that we got were in the arm. But
those arms were in front of our faces
at the time. The sentries did not aim
for our arms, you can bet on that. A

away were brought back, though. The
Germans were so easy on those who
tried to run away that almost thought
they were encouraging them. One
chap was doing his ten days in the
guardhouse for the sixth time while
7 was there-that is, he had just about
completed his period Of detention. he
claimed that the sixth time he had
really got across the border and was
arrested In little town by the Dutch
authorities and turned over to the Ger

must admit that the Germans had as
pretty badly buffaloed, but at Dulmen
the prisoners were entirely different.
Dulmen was the receiving camp for
the whole western front, and the pris-
oners there got to be pretty tough
eggs, as far as Fritz was concerned,
before they had been in camp many
days. They thought nothing of pick
ing q fight with a sentry and giving
him a good battle, even though he was
armed with rifle and bayonet. We
soon learned that unless his pals are
around q German will not stand by his
arguments with his fists. In other
words, if he can outtalk you, he will
beat you up, but if he cannot, it is
case of "Here comes Heinie going
back"
The Russian prisoners at Dulmen
were certainly a miserable looking
bunch. They spent most of their time
wandering around the Russian bar
racks, hunting for rotten potato peel
ings and other garbage, which they
would eat. When they saw Fritz
throw out his swill, they would dive
right through the barbed wire one
after another, and their hands and
face and clothes were always torn
from it. It was unhealthy to stand
between the Russians and their garb-
age prey-they were so speedy that
nothing stopped them.
One morning, just after barley-cof-
fee time, came out of the barracks
and saw an Australian arguing with
the sentry. i was not only curious,
but anxious to be a good citizen, as
they say, SO I went up and slung an
ear at them. The Australian had asked
Fritz what had been done with the
flag that the Huns were going to fly
from the Eiffel tower In Paris.
That was too deep for Fritz, so the
Australian answered It himself. 'Don't
you know, Fritz? Well, we have no
blankets, you know"
Still the sentry did not get 1t. So
the Australian carefully explained to
me-so that Fritz could hear-that the
Germans had no blankets and were
using the flag to wrap their cold feet
In.
This started a fight, of course-the
German idea of a fight, that is. The
sentry, being a very brave man for a
German, blew his whistle very loudly,
and sentries came from all directions.
So we beat it to the Australians bar.
racks, and there / found the second
American in the camp. He was bar.
Der named Stimson, from one of the
Western states. He had heard I was
there as we'll as the Boston man in the
Canadian service, but he had been
too sick to look us up, and in ct did
not care what happened, he was SO
miserable. He had been wounded sew
eral times, and died in a day or two.
I never knew how he came to be In
the Australian service.
Those two and myself were the only
Americans I knew of In this prison
camp-whether in Canadian, Austria
liam or French service. The other
two had been captured In uniform, so
there was no chance of their being
released.
Dulmen was very near the Dutch
border and as 1t was quite easy to get
out of the camp attempts at escape
were frequent. Most of those who ran

"Dairymen lose thousands of dollars

The milk dealer has an extra lever

that more care in the production and

Exercise Sheep in Winter.

If the lambs are to be born strong
and vigorous, moderate amount Of
exercise is necessary for the ewes dur
ing the winter. This can be obtained
by scattering their roughage over a
field and allowing them to work back
and forth over it while eating, or by
feeding some Of the roughage some dis
lance away from their shelter. If win
ter pastures are used, no other ar
rangement for exercise Is necessary.
At no time should the pregnant ewes
be forced to wade through deep mud
or snow, neither should they be chased
by dogs nor forced to jump over boards
nor to pass through narrow doors, as
such treatment is sure to cause loss
Of lambs or Of both ewes and lambs.
If fleeces are allowed to become
soaked with rain or wet snow, colds
and pneumonia will surely result. Dry
snow, on the other hand, has no i'll
effect, as the ewes readily shake IL
of.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
As hen stops laying there is n
tendency for her to take on fat. This
is noticeable in examining the pelvic
bones, the two bones which can be
felt as points on either side of the
vent. When the hen is laying these
bones are comparatively thin and flex-
ible. When she is not laying they feel
thicker and less flexible, due to the
fat which has accumulated there. The
spread or distance apart of these pei
vic bones is also a valuable indication
of whether or not the hen is laying.
When laying they are wider apart
than when not laying. This spread
can be roughly measured for practical
purposes by determining how many
fingers can he laid between the bones.
If the spread measures two fingers
or less. the probabilities are that the
hen is not laying, Willie if the spread

Sauerkraut Is In Season.

Attempts have been made to keep
popular the tasteful and popular dish
Of sauerkraut by changing the name
to Liberty cabbage. But if the rose
will smell as sweet by any other name,
so will sauerkraut taste as good to
many people whether It's name be
changed or not.
The essential points to make
good kraut are the use q mature
sound cabbage, scrupulous cleanliness
throughout the process, and proper
care Of the surface of the brine after
fermentation is completed.
In making sauerkraut for home pur-
poses the outer green leaves Of the
cabbage should be removed, just as
in preparing the head for boiling. In
addition, all decayed or bruised leaves
should be discarded and the core re-
moved. If an instrument for this pur-
pose is not available, it is advisable
to quarter the heads and slice off the
part Of the core remaining on each
quarter. The cabbage should be
shredded by one Of the Understanding
machines sold upon the market for
such purposes, or, If one Is not avail
able, the heads may be cut into thin
slices with a slaw cutter or a large
knife.
The shredded cabbage should be
packed Immediately into a perfectly
clean, water-tight receptacle, such as
a cider or wine barrel, keg, or tub. AS
IL Is packed into the receptacle add
salt In the proportion Of one pound of
salt to forty pounds Of cabbage, dis
tributlng 1t evenly throughout the cab
bage. Experiments have shown that
approximately two and one-half
pounds of salt to each one hundred
pounds OF shredded cabbage give the
best flavor to the resulting kraut.
When the barrel or crock is nearly
full, the cabbage should be pressed
down as firmly as possible and COW
cred with clean board cover. 1t Is
advisable, but not essential, that clean
cloth be placed over the cabbage be-
fore the cover is put into place. The
salt soon extracts considerable
amount of the cabbage Juice from the
cabbage, and a sufficient weight Of
clean brick or stone should be added
to cause the brine to rise up to the
wooden cover. Set the container aside
until fermentation is complete and
skim off any scum that forms.

measuring the spread the size of the
hens Of different breeds with the cor
responding difference in the spread
must be kept in mind.

creases with consequent increase in
size of the abdomen. A spread of three
or more fingers In the smaller breeds,
as the LeghOrn, and four or five fin
gers in the larger breeds, such as the
Plymouth Rock, indicates that the hen

less than two fingers in the smaller
breeds and less than three fingers In
the larger breeds indicates that she Is

TURKEY IS ACTIVE FORAGER
Fowl Must Have Plenty Of Range and
Chance to Feed on Roughage-

Turkeys are active foragers and
must have chance to roam and feed
on roughage at will. In so doing they
will pick up greater part of their
food, which is far better for them than
that which is given them, and is of
considerable value.
