sion to rest by strolling about the
platform, drinking lithia water and
chatting with a number of friends of
that denomination who were at the

dent of the worlds committee, will

Morey, who will have charge of the
music and will lead a choir Of 300
voices at the conference, led a mems
choir which sang delightfully."-. Later

Reese Bros. Big
Hit Coming Friday

The Reese Brothers, players, who
will appear at the Vining Theatre Fri
day, March 29, are notably superior
to any talent of that character ever
appearing in Ashland. Arthur Reese,
an amusing conversationalist, is one
of the most characteristic numbers of
the company, while Florence Blue,
Major Bailey and Jessie Reese are
blessed with beautiful voices and
their efforts are those Of players who
are sincerely desirous of pleasing
their audiences. Jopie Murray is a
dancer extraordinary. His antics are
mirth provoking, while at the same
time he is capable of some amazing
foot work. The tango dancers are
immense. Tom Davis and Ollie Reese
are clever end men. The Reese Broth
ers are gun jugglers with no superb
ors.

London, March 27.-The British
forces north and south of the river
Somme have carried out counter
attacks during the day, resulting in
the regaining of ground and the driv-
ing back of the Germans at various
points. The report from Field Mar
shall Haig tonight declares that in
the operations heavy casualties have
been inflicted on the enemy.
The text of the statement reads:
THE battle was renewed this morn
ing with great violence south and
north of the Somma Intense fight
ing has taken place during the day
from south of Rosieres to north of
Abalinville (Ablainzevelle.
In an unsuccessful attempt by the
enemy last night to drive in our line
south of the Somme, was followed
this morning by a series Of heavy at
tacks near Rosieres and to the south
of that place. At Rosieres all the
enemy's assaults have been beaten off
by our troops, who inflicted heavy
casualties on the enemy.
Farther north our line was main
tanned in spite of great pressure from
large German forces. Later in the
day fresh German attack developed
in this area, with the result that our
line was taken back a short distance
to the west. Later reports show that
our counter-attacks have again COM
pletely restored the situation.
During the day the enemy made a
number of heavy attacks against our
position between the Somme and
Ancre and north and south of Albert.
Part of our position south of AL
bert was regained by us by counter
attack and a further heavy attack
delivered by the enemy during the
afternoon was repulsed.
Attempts made by the enemy in
the course of the day to debouch
westward from the town of Albert
have been driven back, in each in
stance with the heaviest casualties. y

the fodder in the silo 80 as to exclude
the air as much as possible. It is
upon this one thing that the keeping
Of silage largely depends. A device
consisting Of a jointed pipe, or some
variation Of It, attached to the top Of
the blower pipe Is at present in use
for distributing the cut corn fodder
in the silo. BY the use Of this distribu-
tor 1t is possible at the same time to
scatter the cut corn evenly and at
the same time tramp 1t. Without the
use of this device It IL necessary to
have at least one extra man In the
silo to fork the material over 30 that
II is evenly packed. Besides the a '
ing Of one mans labor, the distribu-
tor does away with the nuisance Of
having the loose material flying
sround, thus annoying the man in the
silo. and also lessons the danger Of
being struck by some foreign object
that may have passed through the
blower.
Oftentimes the corr fodder II 30 dry

add water to make up for the def
cheney In moisture and provide for the
proper packing of the silo. This va
ter Is most easily added to the blower
when the corr is being cut, and 1t is
also more thoroughly mixed with the
cut material in this way.
For the top layer of the silO It IL
good practice to use heavy green stalks
from which the ears have been re-
moved. This forms a heavy layer
that packs well and at the same time
contains a smaller amount Of food

co.'s and materials have been used FOR
covering the top Of the silage to pre-.
vent Its spelling. None has given
complete satisfaction, but the one
mentioned above has given as good re

layer was thoroughly wet down and

practice is to commence feeding %

(Ffom b United States Department Of

No opportunity to kill rats should be
neglected on the farm. Traps, dogs,
cats, and p0isons may be useful. The
first need IL traps and q knowledge Of
how to use them. The most reliable
traps for general use are the inexpen-
siye snap. or guillotine, traps. Many
efficient kinds are on the market, but
the cheaper one are rarely to be rec
commended for durability. Those that
have sheet-metal bases are not desir-
able, as rats fear and avoid them. Snap
traps should be set so that they will
spring at q slight touch. They may
be placed In rat runs, at rat burrows,
behind boards leaned against the wall,
and In q great variety Of other favor
able places. Dry oatmeal (rolled oats)
Is recommended as a bait for both rats
and mice. Place a few grains on the
trigger pan or under the trigger wire,
with a few grains near the trap.
Useful Wire Cage Trap.
The wire-cage trap, II substantially
made, is useful on the farm. Coarse
bait is required, and may be hung from
the top Of the trap by q light wire. Set
the trap IN a floor or on a board, lay
a short board on top. and cover the
whole with an old cloth or gunny sack,
leaving only the trap entrance ncov
cred. The trap may be baited and left
open for q night or two until rats learn
to feed inside, after which Q good
catch may be expected. An excellent
plan for using the cage trap ID 10 bore
a hole two or three inches In diameter
at proper height In the door Of gran
airy or feed room. The hole may be
covered with q metal slide when the
trap Is not In use. Set the trap In
side the granary with Its entrance
fitted to the hole and cover and bait
In the usual manner; any rat entering
the granary Is caught. The same plan
IL applicable to rat holes In other stu
ations. and It has been used effectively
between connecting rooms Of cold stor-
age warehouses.
