when the bomb would explode was
more or less problematical. Frequent
! ~ the Germans have tossed our bombs
bpck into ouR@ trenches before they
went off. That was dangerous and ir-
rltating. They can't do that with a
Mills grenade or any of the improved
factory made bombs, because the men
know just how they are timed and are
trained to know just how to throw
them. Then the Germans used to
work q little bomb trick of their own.
They learned that our scouts and raid
ers were all anxious to get German
helmet as souvenir. They'd put he'll
NETS on the ground in No Mans Land
or in an advanced trench with bombs
uAder them. In several cases men
looking-for souvenirs suddenly became
mere memories themselves.
In several raids when bombing was
new the Canadians worked trick on
the Germans with extensively fatal eff
feet They tossed bombs into the
German trenches with six inch fuses
attached. To the Germans they looked
just like the other bombs we had been
using, and, in fact, they were-all but
the fuses. Instead of having failed
TO continue burning, as the Germans
thought, those fuses had never been
lighted. They were instantaneous fuses.
The ignition spark win travel through
an instantaneous fuse at the rate of
thirty yards second. A German would
pick up one of these bombs, select the
spot where he intended TO blow up n
few of us with our own ammOnal and
then light the fuse. After that there
had to be n new man in his place.
The bomb would explode instantly the
long fuse was ignited.
The next day when I got up after
this disastrous raid my bunkie said:
"Something sure raised h with our
calculations"
"As those automatic self cooking
revolvers did with a Kentucky we'd
ding when some one made u remark
rejecting ON the BRIDE" l replied.

came without moments warning
and in twenty seconds damage was
done that will take months to re-
store. They were violently thrown
across the floor, over each other, fur
niture tipped over, contents of medi-
cine chests spilled, and many dishes
and jars of canned fruit broken.
They managed to get outdoors where
outside there was such a queer noise
the ground cracking and swapping
and looking like waves of water,
while the trees fairly jumped up and
down. A ridge on the back of the
farm sunk eighteen inches and water
came to the surface in many places.
In some spots where there was an
abundance of water it was perfectly
dry. Their house is still fit to live
in but two homes near by were
wrecked. The town of San Jacinto,
five miles from where they live was
nearly destroyed and the town of
Helmet partly destroyed, but no lives
were lost.

Pigs at self-Feeders.

fed so that 1t will be picked up clean,
and you will find next spring that
there is not bit of the corn lying
around to go to waste.
Protein feeds in the form Of shorts,
tankage, oilmeal or alfalfa hay should
be supplied. Self-feeders can be used
for these feeds, and it is quite success
full to grind the alfalfa hay. Sows will
eat larger percentage of alfalfa hay
fed in the ground form than when fed
in racks unground.- This alfalfa is
generally cheaper on the corn belt
farms than any Of the other protein
feeds and is good balance to the corn
ration.
BY following few of these simple
methods the sows will be brought to
narrowing time capable of producing
good strong pigs. Every hog grower
knows that if he is going to have pigs
that do their best from the start they
must necessarily be strong and vigor-
GUS at narrowing time. The proper care
of the brood sow is not difficult and
should be carefully looked after by
every hog grower.
