Americans Dash to Safety After

A dispatch states that an Ameri-
can patrol, comprising an officer and
8 men, which had been missing since
the previous night in the sector north
of Toul, suddenly emerged from
shell hole close to the German lines
last Wednesday land made dash
across No Mans Land without shot
being fired at them. The mems COM
rades, looking on, expected every sec
ond to see them wiped out. They
explained that they had lost their
way in the day. The same dispatch
states that an American staff col
onel, while with a French raiding
party for the purpose of securing
information a few days before his
men took up their positions in the
new American sector on the Lorraine
front, met a Prussian lieutenant in
an enemy trench and captured him.
The colonel, with an American cap
tain, brought the Prussian back to the
lines the Americans are now occupy
ing.
The Prussian lieutenant's capture
was the first instance of an enemy
officer being taken prisoner by the
Americans and also the first occasion
upon which an American officer had
captured either an enemy officer or
soldier in this sector.

Income Tax Regulations For
Farmers.

Income tax regulations for farm
ers. issued on the 9th by Internal
Revenue Commission Roper, provide
that all gains, profits or income re-
ceived in 1917 from sale or eXchane:e
of farm products, whether raised on
the farm or purchased and resold
must be included in the return. The
rules apply to all persons or cor
porations operating ordinary farms,
ranches, plantations, stock, dairy, fruit
or truck farms.
Deductions from gross income nay
be claimed only for expenses connect
ed directly with farming operation
for last year, and made during the
year, even though crops on which the
expenditures were made were not sold
within the year. A former ruling
that the cost of stock purchased fol
resale is an allowable deduction un.
der the item of expense is annullec
and these expenditures are regarded
as capital investments. Consequently

cost may be deducted from the sale:

Another raid has been made on Lon
don by the Germans. These raids are
usually made by moonlight, but on
Thursday night, aided by the aurora
borealis, which brilliantly illuminated
the northern heavens seven or eight
German aeroplanes crossed the east
coast of England. The anti-alrcraft
fire was heavy and the machines were
at first driven back, but others, at
tacking from the south, managed to
penetrate as far as the metropolis and
dropped bombs. No objects OF mill

American Troops Hold Over
Miles of Trenches,

American troops are now holding
something over eight miles Of trench
es on the battlefront in France, states
a Washington dispatch, although in
an air line their frontage is only four
and half miles. This frontage is
liable to extension at any time to the
regular trench allotment for an army
corps.
Irregularity of the trench lines is
responsible for their eight miles of
length. They are laid out so that
thanking fire may be obtained along
every point Of the front. Strong point
containing machine guns jut out for
this purpose. The trenches also fol-
low closely any protective slope of the
country and wander up and down hill.

the other. Garden truck was needed in
the cities where the consumption Of
these more perishable products meant
more transportable products saved for
overseas use. Horse methods were slow
and shipping by rail impracticable or
impossible. Again the motor truck filled
the-gap and tons upon tons of garden
product were hurried to the consumer.

to the farm the many supplies needed.
In spite of poor roads the motor truck

In the creamery and dairy business,
quick handling is imperative. The
farmer often cannot spare the time to
haul his milk to the creamery. 1t must
not wait at the railway or interurban
tracks for any length of time. Conse.
quently, many farmers have combined
to meet this emergency. At Lovelaud,
Colorado, the farmers built the Larimer
County Cooperative creamery and
solved the collection of the milk Ly
buying three motor trucks. With these

capacities, milk is picked up from the
concentration points in large quantities

is wonderful speeding up, benefiting

RULES FOR MEASURING HAY

In the measurement of hay there are
two points to be considered. These
are the number of cubic feet required
to make one ton and the. method of
determining the number of cubic feet
in stack.
The following table gives the number
of cubic feet required to make one ton
of alfalfa at various seasons of settling,
these figures being accepted as fair
amounts to allow for a ton:
Number of days Number of cubic
days in stack. feet per ton.
80 $50
90 $40
30 SIP
120 4S5
Late winter 45O
Native hay packs more closely, the
usual figure being 422 cubic feet for
one ton in well settled stack.
There are three general methods of
arriving at the number of cubic feet in
the stack. All three methods require
he width. length, and overmeasurc-
ment. The latter is the distance from
the ground on one side, straight over
the top to the ground on the other side
Where stacks are irregular, it is best
to secure number of measurements
for width and length and the over
measurement, and use the average.
Rule l. One-fourth of the "over"
multiplied by the width. then multi
Piled by the length and divided by the
required number of cubic feet to make
one ton. This rule gives accurate fig
ures on small. squat stacks when the
width is from one-third to one-half of
the "over.n
Last fall the experiment station
bought 1855 tons by the use of this
rnle. and when weighed out it weighed
9S.1s tons.
Rule 2. Colorado Rule). Subtract
the width from the over. Multiply one.
half the result by the width; multiply
the prodnrt by the length; divide by
the number of cubic feet required to
make one ton. This rule is most ac.
curate when the width exceeds one
half the over.
Rule 3. Government Rule). Width
plus "over,'' divided by four and
squared; then multiplied by length and
divided by the number of cubic feet
required to make one ton. This rule
is satisfactory for large tall stacks Of
25 to As tons, and favors the seller with
ordinary squat Colorado stacks.-T. Z.

They couldn't climb up the sides of

they couldn't get out without going
