ing around the traverse, he came to the
entrance OF a communication lrenvn,
and ran madly and blindly down 1t,
running into traverses, stumbling into
muddy holes. and falling full length
over trench gllds.
Cropping bIindly, with his arms
stretched out in front of him, he at
last came out of the trench into the
Village. or what used to be village,
before the German artillery razed 1t.
IL Mixed with his fear, he had a pc
culiar sort of cunning, which whis-

cause if they saw him he would be
sent back TO that awful destruction In
the front line, and perhaps be killed
or manned. The thought made him
shudder. the cold sweat coming out In

He remained there all night, listen

praying, praying that his useless life
would be spared.
As dawn began TO break, he could
discern little dark objects protruding
from the ground all about him. Curl
osity mastered his fear and he crawled
TO one of the objects. and there, in the
uncertain light. he read on a little

BUY DISEASE FREE CATTLE.
TubercuIn Test Should Be Given go t
90 DAYS, After Purchase.

With an annual loss OF S20,0OO,OoO
from tuberculosis levied on the hogs
and cattle of the United States, the
breeder of cattle cannot afford not to
know the condition Of his herd, says
Prof w H. Pew, head Of the animal
husbandry department at Iowa State
college. In many sections this dis
ease Is known to be increasing and the
only safe way in buying cattle is to
buy on guarantee Of their passing the
test.
Experiments show that small per-
centage Of tuberculosis animals may
not react. This may include animals
recently infected, but not yet showing
LESSONS or those with healed LESSONS
which may give a reaction at sub
sequent test. Likewise, the test can
be tempered with by dishonest deal
ers. The purebred cattle business is
showing tendency to demand the
sale of cattle subject to tuberculin
test 60 to 80 days after arrival at the
farm Of the purchaser. with the stlpu-
lation that the cattle must be quaran-
tined until after passing the test.
Prominent breeders are following this
method. This is the method that Is
followed in purchasing animals for the
hedrs at Iowa State college.
Professor Pew suggests six cautions
to cattle breeders in buying animals:
/. Do not be deceived by being
made to believe that any one breed Is
immune to the disease.
2. Do not assume that the herd Is
free unless it has been tested.
8. Do not think a lot Of tubercular
cattle can be sold to some one else
without the fact being found out. The
disease will sooner or later. assert it.
self.
4. Tampering with the tuberculin
test Is dangerous business.
5. It Is no disgrace for breeder to
test his herd to find out the condition
Of the same. Brother breeders will hon.
or him for it.
o. ii should he considered crime
for a breeder to test the herd and keep
reacting cows with the clean herd.

Kansas City Live Stock.

duction. Further assurance Is given
by the fact that with the maximum
production urged by the department
of agriculture there will still be a
great gap between production and pos
sible consumption. Finally many peo-
pie who eat little or no chicken meat,
and who are only distantly acquainted
with the egg will come to be fast
friends and will ask for more.
Chickens as a by-product OF general
farming find much Of their feed in the
waste ma.erials that otherwise would
serve no purpose. The attention and
labor they require can be given large
~ even by children, and should not re-
quire the employment Of additional
hired workers. On some farms the
chickens practically pay for them
selves by their destruction Of orchard
and vegetable insects. On others they
help to pay for themselves by their
production Of manure. which when
properly used largely increases the
value of the land. Fifty fowls will
annually produce at least ton Of ma
nure that can be made as valuable as
commercial fertilizer.
An essential part OF the endeavor to
insure more chickens and eggs Is con-
tanned in the maXim-hatch early. The
farmer who matches early in the spring.
either by incubation or natural meth
DDS, seems to have all the best Of the
argument. When chickens are Matched
early in the spring they mature in the
fall and lay eggs in the winter Then,
in the spring. they are ready to hatch
early. Late Matched fowls are late in
maturing, do not lay in the winter. and
do not sit until late in the following
spring.
To the country at large early hatch
ing by every chicken raiser means
much. Early Matching will increase the
number and size of fowls and the num-
Der of eggs produced next year. II
will mean bigger birds. and birds that
will lay in the winter months. To the
individual farmer 1t means more profit.
He will get more chickens. as a larger
proportion will live: he will get more
actual meat, not only because more
will live but BECAUSE his chickens will
be larger: and he will get more eggs,
when eggs are scarce, for early hatch
ed pullets will lay in the winter.
The recognized Importance OF food
in the greatest war makes It seem
that the hen must take her place among
those who are helping to win it for the
forces Of democracy. This place will
be an important one in proportion to
the response this year to the cali.

HENS TO WIN THE WAR.
More Fowls and More Eggs Mean
More Meat For Fighters.

According to the last census, Of
6,37l,502 farms in the United States,
1,527,743 reported no egg production.
This is one of the big facts on which
Is based the endeavor to double this
year the chicken and egg production
OF the United States. It is an almost
unbelievable fact to those numerous
persons who have regarded chicken
dinner as the acme Of luxury and who
have paid high prices every winter for
eggs. But 1t Is a fact, and it has much
to do with the more chickens and
more-eggs campaign that is expected
to d!splace millions Of pounds Of beef
and pork in American menus and send
the released product across the ocean
to our soldiers, the allies, and the hun
cry people Of the lands devastated by
the Prussian war torch.
The United States department Of
agriculture urges as many as posi-
BILE OF the farmers who have not raised
chickens to stock their farms this
year with focks large enough at least
to supply the needs Of their own house.
holds. 1t does not advise that the
general farmer embark in extensive
raising Of poultry, but warns against
such ventures. But 1t sees no reason
why every farm should not produce
enough chickens and eggs for its own
use and why there should not be
enough surplus to make chickens and
eggs available to the general public
at reasonable prices and in such guam
titles that there will be markedly less
domestic demand for the meats that
are needed abroad and that can be
transported there.
One big aim In this endeavor is ia
increase to 100 hens the average size
Of the American farm flock. The pres
ent average is 40 hens. The desired
increase, it is believed, will bring the
desired production. The farmer with
several hundred hens, Of course, will
be merely making up for his less for
tunate neighbor unable to reach the
average. This will not merely be q
wartime increase. 1t and its bene-
fits will remain after Americas men
and women-at the front and at home
have made democracy safe.
Furthermore, with all this production
the farmer need not fear that the mar
ket Will be glutted by poultry and
eggs. A good profit ID assured alwaya

CAN FRESH MEAT FOR SUMMER.
Method Easily Followed in the Homo
Kitchen.

Instead Of smoking or curing the
surplus meat killed in winter 1t may
be kept fresh for summer use by can
ming, advise the home economics au-
thorit!es at Iowa State college. A sat
isfactory method is to put it up in or
binary household canning Jars. The
work can be done in any home.
The meat needs to be boiled or
roasted for half an hour and then cut
into pieces convenient for putting into
the jars. Before packing into the con-
tanners, the bone, gristle and excessive
fat are removed. After the Jars are
packed, they are filled with boiling
water. the covers put on loosely and
set into a boiler with a slat bottom
that keeps the jars from touching the
boiler bottom. Then the jars are
boiled. five hours for beef or four hours
for chicken or pork. After removing,
the covers should be frightened.

1T TOOK SIX YEARS TO DO IT.
But Perseverance Won Her the State
Championship Finally.

For six years Glee McCleary, state
garden canning club champion in Iowa
for 1917, belonged to a girls tomato
club. Each year she had results that
were better and better until this-year
she won the state garden canning club
championship by her perseverance.
Because the chickens had bothered her
tomatoes before, this 16-year- girl
OF Bavaria, Jefferson county. planted
her one-tenth of an acre In corner
Of her fathers corn field and there
made her winning record.
From this one-tenth acre Miss Nc
Cleary produced so bushels OF toma-
toes. OF these she canned 200 quarts,
sold 40 bushels to the ne!ghbors and
had some left over for the home folks
to can and eat. She received $131.43
from her crop and estimating her ex-
penses at 1885, her profit was $111.40.
In addition. she took canning exc
hib,t 20 the state fair at Des Moines
and won 81 In prizes. Just for fun,
she helped her sister can $50 quarts
Of other vegetables and fruits.
