With the American Army In the Ar
gOnne.-Vauquois plateau, SCARED
with four years Of battle, affords a
wonderful view Of the battle-ground
over which General Pershing's First
army fought in the first phase Of his
attack. From its highest ridge the
whole fighting field from the Mouse to
the western fringe of the Argonne, ex-
cepting one small patch blotted out by
Montfaucon on the right, could be
clearly seen by day and the burst Of
every Boche she'll observed.
Far off to the north a blue line Of
hills marked the Boche positions. Dark
columns of smoke announced the ar
rival of American shells. Two German
balloons, black speeks against low.
hanging clouds, watched columns Of
our transports winding down the
roads.
Far down on the left German
shells were bursting in white puffs
along the road carving down from
Apremont around hill to Baulny and
then Strengthening out between rows
Of straight little trees to Charpentry,
where our tanks fought so valiantly.
Over to the right there were occa-
siOnal bursts of Boche arrivals on
MOntfaucon, golden in the afternoon
sun. Northwest Of Montfaucon, more
German shells were breaking in the
woods and along the roads south Of
Clerges, just behind our advanced line.
Alive With Activity.
The fiat plain at the foot of Vau-
Quois was alive with activity. Auto
mobiles snaked their way in and out
of long columns of trucks. Men gallop-

ed to and fro on horseback. Lines Of sol
diers went struggling along the roads
unmindful of enemy shells. Sharp
flashes of light with their accompany
ing crashes signaled the departure
of American projectiles. A tiny train
went rafting across the plain carry
ing munitions toward the front.
Overhead there was a constant whirr
Of airplane motors and occasionally
the whoofs Of antiaircrafters as
Boche planes attempted sallies across
our lines.
South of Cheppy 40 or more dough-
boys squatted along a little road
shooting craps. Two German shells
came in with a whine that hardly
reached our ears on Vauquois. The
doughboys scattered quickly into the
underbrush. Then they came out by
twos and threes and the crap game was
resumed.
Balloon Falls In Flames.
A whole feet Of our planes passed
over the plateau, swinging off to the
right and passing over Montfaucon.
Three minutes later a German bal
loon came down in pillar of smoke
and fire. The airmen swung back on
their way home.
Fifty or more Yankees stumbled
through the barbed wire entangle-
ments on Vauquois plateau itself.
searching for souvenirs in the con-
crete dugouts and tunnels the Ger
mans had bored deep into its side.
They picked up German skulls, relics
of battles since 1915, looked them over
curiously and threw them aside. They
poked about In the crater of the great
Vauquois mine, exploded by the
French three years ago, and went
sliding down the hillside toward the
rolling kitchens outside the ruins Of
Vauquois village.
One lone doughboy remained
perched upon the biggest rock at the
summit of the highest ridge. his pack
at his side, chin in hands, gazing out
over the battlefield in the gathering
darkness.

HATE THE HUMP
CRY FROM FRONT

certain to acquire this feeling sooner
or later, when enough of our fighting
men get back home, America, thank
God, has escaped the sacrilege of home
and violations of womanhood that will
forever brand the Hun as lower than
Il beast. Hence. Americans viii never
be able to approach in intensity the
hatred that European nations hold for
all things German.
When Our Men Come Home.
"Wait until our men come home in
greater numbers. Wait until some com
munity gets the news of what has hap
pened to some popular boy Of the town
In German prison. That whole COM
munity win suddenly blaze up with a
white heat of anger that IS yet strang-
er to some Americans, and It's resi-
dents win automatically join the world
wide federation of Hun haters."
The officer said his talks with French
and English had convinced him that no
laws would be necessary to establish a
boycott of German goods in the future
The average civilian In allied countries
will tell you he would starve before he
would ever eat a food product of Ger
man manufacture and die Of exposure
before he would wear Hun-made ma
terials.
"You don't seem to find that senti-
ment in the United States, yet" he
continued "But, it's coming surely
with the ret'rn of our fighting forces.
Yet it sort of pains every soldier, be-
lleve, to come home and find so many
people who don't understand that It
was unsafe to end the war until the
Germans were stripped absolutely Of
any chance of again attempting such
a crime"

WlnterIna IDLE Horses.

1t this time of the year practically
ell the heavy work on most farms has
been finished, and during the winter
horses are more or less idle. Since
fdle horses give no return In labor
performed, the feeding should be as
economical as possible, and proper care
should be taken Of the animals in or
der that they may be in the best pos
sible condition for work in the early
spring.
Horses should not be confined to the
barn during the winter on a liberal
supply Of grain. 1t is far better to
''rough" them through the cold months.
They should be given the run Of the
yard or lot during the day. This should
be provided with a protected shed, one
that is thoroughly dry and well pro-
vided with bedding. While nature
does her part and protects the horse
with heavy coat Of hair during the
cold months, the shed is necessary in
order to afford the requisite shelter
and protection against rains, snow,
and cold winds. Winter winds come
mostly from the north and northwest,
and the shed should be so situated
and constructed as to give the proper
protection from this Quarter.
In the feeding of idle horses high
priced feed should be avoided in order
to keep them in proper condition at
the lowest cost. It has been found
that idle horses do very well on a win
ter feed consisting Of all the hay, oat
straw, cornstalks, or sorghums they
viii consume, so that little grain is
necessary. Idleness also permits of a
more thorough mastication of the feed,
thus insuring proper digestion.

Farming a Business.

A farm is business, and crop yields
are only one part Of that business.
Studies in farm management show
that a farm to make money must usu-
ally have large business, must have
good crops and live stock, and must
have these enterprises so selected and
organized on the farm that the labor
win be kept busy throughout large
part of the year. While it is impor-
tant that a farmer avoid poor yields,
he should not judge the success of his
farm by its yields alone.

WINNING FAVOR
Machines Are Rapidly Taking
Place Of Animal Power in
Hauling Products.
IMPROVED ROADS Big HELP
Development Of Regular Freight serv-
Ice Is Considered Notable-One
Farmer Uses Ten TraiIers
Drawn by Tractor.

Motors are rapidly taking the place
Of animal power In hauling products
from the farm in many counties in
the United States where the roads per-
init. A significant phase Of this new
development is the growth Of regular
freight service, by which farmers can
hire the taking Of their produce by
motortruck directly from the farm to
distant market, and thus avoid both
the wagon haul and the shipment by
railroad or boat.
OF 1,473 county reports received by
the bureau Of crop estimates Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture in it's recent investigation of the
hauling of products from farm to ship
ping point by animal power and by
motor, 1893 reported the use Of motors,
mostly motortrucks. In large frac-
ton Of these counties, motortruckS
service is just coming into use In haul
ing products from the farm. There
were many more reports Of use for
light traffic, such as poultry, eggs and
vegetables, than for hauling grain. A
few reports, scattered from Delaware
to the Pacific coast, mentioned the
great Importance of the light motor
truck service in delivering perishable
fruits to shipping points.
In many states, especially in the
northern and south central sections,
hogs were hauled preferably in motor
trucks on account Of the relatively
small amount of shrinkage compared
with hauling in wagons. Some c0un-
ties reported hogs hauled exclusively
in motortrucks, although these We
hicles had not yet come into general
use for grain or other products.
Improved Roads Help.
One Of the chief limitations to the
use of the truck is the condition Of
the roads, and several reporters men,
toned a beginning of motortruck use
as following closely an Improvement
In roads. Another hindrance to using
motors is connected with the seasonal
distribution Of farm work. Some cor
respondents said that after their har-
vest was over there was no work for
their horses to do but haul, and that
motortrucks would not be an economy.
In other instances, the trucks were
reported to have done needed hauling
at times when laborers and horses
could not well be spared from the
farms. A market gardeners associa-
ton in Rhode Island is said to be
operating a few trucks with traiiers
and to carry produce to the city mar
ket at cost averaging only 10 cents
per ton-mile.
Frequent mention is made, even in
the East, Of trucks which do a regular
frelghting business, charging farmers
Cor the service. One Tennessee farm
er reported having paid truck to-
haul load Of ID hogs to market
distance of ten miles, and the trip
was made in the evening after supper.
Used Regular Train.
Tractors with trail wagons are in
more or less frequent use in various
states, including North Dakota and
California. One Illinois man reports
using ten wagons drawn by one trac-
tor and moving 1000 bushels Of wheat
at a time.

CERTAINLY WE ARE READY

Lending money to the government
in order that it may wage success
fully the war Of our fate is fast be-
coming a habit. There is every reason
for believing that it has already
taken such hold on the American
mind that this new avenue of safe
and profitable investment will for
ever echo to the tread of millions Of
feet that heretofore have been
strangers to it.
The matter of fact way in which
the Americans regard the successive
Liberty Loans is an evidence Of this,
almost its proof. Undoubtedly the
practice of investing in ones govern
ment, which is in reality investing
in ones own business, will never
again be regarded as the exclusive
pleasure of the big investor.
We are taking more than keen
interest in our affairs, and though
this flame Of interest be famed by
patriotism into mighty beacon
blaze, itself to start the conhagration
that will purge the world of Prussian-
ism, still will that fame represent
more to US than the principle Of free
dom and national security, mighty
and compelling as that is. For our
individual veal is now so completely
welded into the common welfare of
our country that to slacken our zeal
in one is to wreck the other.
Common sense, common loyalty
and true Amelicanism pledges US tC
increasing zeal in buying Liberty
Bonds, because they represent tan
gibly and copcretely the great cause
and the great corporation Of which
we are an indissolubly part, which is
truly us, the American government.
We are not only ready for the next
Liberty Loan but we want it no less
than our fighting forces need it.
Come on, Uncle Sam, with your
bonds. We can't have too many of
'em!
