it may be advisable to psulate the
tank, as an insulated tank uses less ice
and requires less frequent changing
of water than an ordinary one. Tanks
of that type may be purchased at a
reasonable cost, or the insulation may

tank at the lowest possible cost, six
inches of dry excelsior, shavings, or
sawdust, tightly packed on the sides,
bottom, and cover of the tank, will
serve the purpose if kept dry.
On many farms it is customary to
churn only two or three times week.
Where this is the case the cream from
each separation should be kept in
the cooling tank until about IL hours
before the churning. In order that
the cream may ripen uniformly, it
should be placed in one receptacle,
mixed, and warmed slowly
to temperature of from 65 to rs de-
grees Fahrenheit. Frequent STRINGS

THE FARM LA Dor RESERVE

1t was made plain by speakers at the farm labor
meeting on Monday night, especially by County Agen,
Willard and by E. J. Taylor, who is in charge of the To-
:al federal employment Office, that it is not expected that
the crop is to be harvested by the labor to be found in
The cities and villages of the district. On the contrary,
reliance is to be placed on labor from the usual sources,
and it is known that a considerable supply of labor from
those sources will be available. The crop has been harv-
ested in Texas, Oklahoma. and Kansas, and we'll up into
Iowa. Many men who have been engaged in that work
are ready to move into North Dakota as soon as their
services are needed. In some sections in the western
part OF North Dakota, where the crop is light in local
tiles, farmers are preparing to come into the eastern
part of the state with their teams to aid in the harvest
work here. Parts Of the Canadian northwest where
similar conditions prevail will send their quota of men
to the aid of their North Dakota %neighbors. . From these
sources it is certain that where the demand for outside
labor exists a considerable supply will be available.
The purpose Of the movement which Is in progress
here and elsewhere to check up the local supply is to
obtain knowledge of what labor can. be depended on
from the cities and villages, to meet an emergency if one
should exist. In other words, if not enough men come
from the outside to save the crop, and a portion Of that
crop is in danger of destruction, how many men from
each city and village can be depended on to turn in and
help. The whole movement is for the purpose of pro-
viding against a possible emergency, and making pro-
vision in time.
The work of the Grand Forks committee will be
to list all the men and boys in the city who, under ordin-
airy circumstances, would not engage in harvest work,
but who can and will do so if they are needed. When
the list is completed the committee will have informa-
ton upon which it can act inteligently. It may be that
the work will be cared for without aid from the COM
mittee. But, if the demand is made, the natural course,
and that which will undoubtedly be followed, will be to
notify the volunteers that they are needed, and to call
first those who, because of their years and physical con-
dition will be most effective, and who can best be spared
temporarily from the ordinary occupations.
There is no difference Of opinion, and no room for
any, as to the desirability of getting the boys into the
fields. The young fellows from 16 up to the early
twenties are active and elastic and can fit themselves in
a few days for work which the man of mature years
who has been accustomed to indoor work cannot per-
form at all. Every possible effort will be made to get
these lads into the fields unless they are already engaged
in work from which they cannot be spared.
Both employees and employers have in making pre-
paration for this possible need an opportunity to per-
form a very useful and very necessary service.

THE NEW OFFENSIVE

What may be termed the fifth great offensive of the
Germans has begun, for the operation which started
early on Monday is evidently much more than a local
blow such as have been common ever since the great
offensive of March Fl began. The length Of line at
tackled, reaching for 60 miles, from Chateau-rhierry
well into the Champagne district, and the fact that there
are being used In this battle many naval guns Of long
rang and large calbre, are evidences that thi, attach "a
an important effort by the Germans.
Mention was made in these columns a week or more
ago OF the fact that the military expert Of the New York
Times whose observations have been remarkably ac-
curate, and whose analyses have been keen and close,
suggested that the location Of the next blow ia he struck
by the Germans might be determined by their concep-
ton of the ultimate possibilities Of the war. The Times
writer believes that to- succeed. the Germans must win
their way through to the coast. In the article referred

Upon the mighty main:
Brave ships! they fought and blum

And sank, or fought again!
OF old the gallant seamen
They fought both hard and fair.
For men then fought like freernen
And death went share and share.
OF old the sea was gloried
BY heroes OF the wave,
BY captains sung ana stored.
BY valient ma and brave.
Now is that glory tainted,
That honor all undone;

Now murderers. deep-hidden,

ALLIES IN RUSSIA

The size Of the British force which has been sent to
Russia is unknown to the general public. In all prob
ability 1t is not a large body. It is not at all likely that
the British would jeopardize the Allied prospects on the
west front by sending to the east an army Of such size
that its withdrawal would affect the balance Of strength
in France very materially. A reasonable estimate seems
to be that there has been sent a force Of such size that it
will be able to act as an effective guard against any pos-
sible contingency, but not large enough to undertake. 4
large military movement on its own account.
It does not follow that the sending Of this force is
necessarily without military significance. Every one
who has watched or conducted chemical experiments
knows that certain solids may be held in solution, giving
no evidence Of their presence. but that on the introdue-
ton Of a foreign body. the work Of capitalization begins
around that body, and is continued until all the solids Of
one type have formed themselves into firm and regular
bodies. The situation In Russia appears to b. somewhat
analogous. The people know that something must bs
