Paris, June 1.-The German drive between Montdidier and Noyon con- tinued unremittingly last night, says today's official report. On their left the French offered effective resistance. They recaptured the village of Mery.
 The principal German effort was di- rected against the center. Attacking with heavy forces, the enemy drove back the French as far as the region of the Aronde river, but by brilliant counter attack the French hurled back the enemy all along this front and re-established their line south of Belloy, at St. Maur, south of Mar queglise and at Vandelicourt.
 On their right the French engaged in violent combats with large forces concentrated by the enemy, who was able to gam ground. The French withdrew their line to the west and south of Ribecourt
 The statement follows:
 Late yesterday and in the night the Germans. continued to exert pres sure in the direction of Estrees St. Denis and Ribecourt.

How to Candle Eggs.

If you are going to put away some
summer-laid eggs for winter use--both
a patriotic and personal duty--you
will need to exercise care to see that
only good eggs are put In the water
glass or llmewater container. One bad
egg is likely to destroy several others.
BY consistently gathering the eggs
when they are fresh, most of the dan
ger of storing bad eggs is avoided but.
since some eggs are imperfect when
they are laid. Gambling. where II can
he done without too much trouble aud
delay, might well be practiced.
The United States department of
agriculture has just issued bulletin
How to Candle Eggs" The text Is
brief and direct and Is illustrated with
colored plates showing the way In
which an egg should appear before the
candle, together with the various ways
1t should not appear. The bulletin was
written by DIR. M. r. Pennington. chief
of the food research laboratory, as
sisted by M. X. Jenkins, bacteriologist.
and III. NJ. p. Belts. artist. 1t should

putting away eggs for home use but
TO those who desire TO establish or
maintain regulations for delivering
eggs in perfect condition.

A heavy clay or adobe soil is not as
well adapted to poultry raising, as
such land does not drain readily and
1t is much more difficult to keep the
stock healthy.
Long stationary houses, or the In
tensive system, saves steps, but Ii Is
easier to keep the birds healthy and
to reproduce the stock under the col

small area with good results.
The colony house system necess.-
tates placing the houses, holding about
100 hens, from 200 to $50 feet apart,
so that the stock will not kill the
grass. The colony system may be
adapted 10 severe winter conditions
