HOW FARMING HAS IMPROVED IN IN
YEARS.

AAOW FARMING HAS IMPROVED IN n
YEARS.
The January Farm and firesde. pub
lished at Springfield. Ohio, quotes from
country paper which says:
Twenty years ago but few had seen
a silo, nobody sprayed orchards, cream
was five cents pint, automobiles were a
curiosity, the butchers threw in chunk
OF liver, strawstacks were burned instead
Of baled. farmers came to town for their
mall nobody listened" in on a telephone,
milk shake was the favorite drink you
stuck tubes in your ears to hear a phono-
graph and paid a dime for the experience.
To-day there are $1,000 silos in Wis
consin alone. which State ranks first in
the number and value of dairy cattle. To-
day the farmers and orchardists know
their yield and profit by spraying. but
that they must spray If good fruit is to be
expected. To-day cream sells for any,
where from Ii to % cents a pint in town,
while the butcher would no more throw in
Il chunck of liver, or even piece of dog
meat than he would sell ten-dollar
gold pieces for a dime.
To-day there are few sections where
the rural-delivevy service Is not known
and when the farmer comes to town it Ia
not for his mail but to attend the meeting
of the bank stockholders. Of whom he Is
one or to haul in a load Of 81 wheat and
81. so corn. To-day there are more than four
million automobiles running over the
highways and byways of the land
To-day the talking machine is to he
found In the living-room of thousands OF
country homes and the good old-fashioned
tube attachment has disappeared. To-day
the farmer who burns his straw Is ostra-
cized by his progressive neighbors. They
may still "lsten IN" on the party-line
telephones. but a bright genius has al
ready patented II devise which even makes
this impossible from now on
with so many things changed In the
last twenty years. who can say for sure
whether we may not be planting corn
with airplanes and filling wet fields with
submarines twenty years from now?"

PARIS, June ii.-warfare on the
western front has returned to the open
methods Of the American Civil War and
the Napoleonic wars.
After three years and half in the
trenches, the contendlng armies are
lighting once more in the open. Cav
airy charges, maneuvering OF large bod
les Of infantry. and the employment OF
mobile fleld artillery are seen again as
in other battles famous in history.
For this the Hindenburg tactics OF
wrestling territory from the allies re-
gardless OF human lives Is responsible
But II comes as a welcome change TO
the allied soldiers, who are thoroughly
sick Of life in the trenches.
The March offensive on the Picardy
and Flanders fronts was the flrst big
battle on the west front since 1914 that
was fought in the open. British and
German cavalry detachments took part
In that engagement. and the furious
hand-to-hand fighting in streets and in
open fields by the opposing infantries
has been described and re-described.

EAT SAUER KRAUT
AS WAR MEASURE

Millions OF pounds Of cabbage will BE-
wasted and production discouraged If the
German derivation Of term sauer kraut
is permitted to engender prejudice.
The spread Of such prejudice in the
last few weeks has caused Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover to take official no
tice in a bulletin deploring agitation
against sauer kraut
"Sauer kraut is a good American pro-
duct. regardless OF the name il bears.
says DR.. r.. J. II. DeLOach, agricultural
expert with Armour and Company, land
IL behooves Americans TO eat more OF II
than they have in the past, not only
to prevent a possible waste Of mill
lions Of pounds already packed but also
10 cause greater quantities than ever to
be grown and packed this summer and
fall. Sauer kraut is not needed by our
Allies, but nearly everything else in
the food line is, and the more kraut
we eat the more we will have Of other
foods TO send abroad.
Under normal conditions the aver
age American eats about two pounds OF
kraut a year. We should be eating
a great deal more because the produce
IS wholesome and so rich in mineral
salts that it Is very beneficial to the
digestion. Recognition OF its value ha.
caused it TO be made a part OF the ra-
tions Of our soldiers and sailors.
Cabbage can be grown in great guam
titles but only for few months in the
year and they are not easily kept fresh
Turning them into sauer kraut is the
logical way to distribute them over the
seasons. As the demand for kraut in
creases, production will keep pace and
the consumers will benefit in health
while aiding the nation to meet the de-
mands Of our Allies for more food"
