RENEW THIN PASTURE SPOTS
Little Seed Scattered Over Weak.
Places Every Spring and Then
Narrowed viii Aid Greatly.

There are weak spots in almost all
pasture fields which do well when re-
seeded. A little seed scattered every
spring over these thin spots and har-
rowed in with the harrow teeth set at
a slant of about 40 degrees, will help
these spots greatly.
A top dressing Of fine stable manure
has a stimulating effect on such re-
tarded grasses. 1t is unreasonable to
think that pasture land will produce
profitable pasturage from year to year
without anything to rejuvenate it.
Pasture land needs renewing as well
as other farm land.

CHEAT GERMANS
OF SUBMARINES
Seven British and Four Ameri-
can Vessels Sunk by
Own Crews
(Associated Press.)

London, May 1.-THE seven Brit
ish submarines destroyed by their
crews at Helsingfors to prevent their
being captured by the Germans
reached the Baltic sea either through
the straits between Denmark and Nor
way and Sweden, or by way of Arch =
angel, according to an admiralty state
ment. The class c boats went by way
Of Archangel, while the class e boats
took the other route. The statement
says:
"Of the submarines mentioned two
of the E boats had been employed in
the Baltic sea since oct. Is, 1914. f -
had left England on Aug. Is, 1915, when
+ - and E -, the first of which was
lost subsequently in service, sailed on
Sept. 4, 1915. All these boats made
their way to their destination through
the Ska and the sound.
"The four c boats had been towed
to Archangel, leaving England on Aug.
1, 1916 They were loaded on to light
ers at the latter port and removed to
kronsfadt by inland water transport
They were unloaded at Kronstadt on
Sept. 10, and returned to the Baltic
shipbuilding works at Petrograd on the
following day. One ran ashore in the
Gulf or Riga on Oct. Is, 1917. 1t hav-
ing been found impossible to refioat
her, sic was blown up by her crew,
which reached Perdau In safety"
An admiralty statement received
Thursday night reported that the
crews of the submarines had reached
England safely, coming by way of
Mourmansk. At the time the British
submarines were blown up at Helsing-
fors, the Russians similarly destroyed
four of their American submarines at
Hango.
