Hindenburg would carry out an at tack or Paris. We have no reason to conceal the fact There were desert CTS among the German troops who used their knowledge of the planned operations to betray the fatherland and their comrades"
 After referring to the entente's counter offensive, the correspondent says:
 "The foregoing snows that not only east of Rheims, but also on the Marne we are confronted with difficult tasks and von Hindenburg will in this situa- tion not satisfy some of the shate- gists.
 Ut need not be concealed that the aim of the recent offensive has re- mained unattainable, but new condi- tions now all the more urgently de- mand fresh decisions to which we look forward with strained attention, but also with patience.
 AS has happened on other occa- sions, for instance, on the Somme, we must concede the loss of prisoners and guns. But, even so, the enemy's lead ing idea, breach through, has not been attained. despite tremendous ex- ertions. We have been able to hold up the counter offensive before it at tained a strategic advantage worth mentioning. Continuous changes in position are logically the outcome Of the open warfare now in progress"

Notes for Week Ending Sept. 2.

While the time for cutting corn for
silage this year,will be largely depend
ent on availability of help and the frosts,
it will be well to bear in mind that a
little frost is better than cutting before
it has grown as much as the season will
allow. Few farmers seeing the corn
stand without great apparent growth for
a couple of weeks in the fall realize how
great an increase in dry matter is taking
place at that time Analysis figures
show that from the time corn is in silk
until it is glazed its actual gain in
weight is only about to 10 per cent,
but the gain in dry matter is Is per cent.
That is for every 100 pounds of dry mat.
ter in corn in silk there will be IT'S
pounds when glazed, although the total
weight has increased but seven pounds
for every 100. Water can usually be
furnished cows cheaper than in silage.

A German Speaker Says Germans With
drew Because Defense Was Poor.

Amsterdam, Sept. 9.-h lecture on
the war in Berlin, Lieutenant General
Baron Won Freytag -Loringhoven, deputy
chief of the general staff, contended the
present crisis on the western front was
less serious than many others during
the course of the war
"The position we occupied before the
enemy counter offensive began was the
result of an abortive offensive and, there
fore, unsuitable for defense whose aim
was the effective economizing Of forces"
the general is quoted as saying in dis
patch from Berlin "The positions had
not been consolidated as trenches"
General Won Freytag- Loringhoven ar
gued that nothing like decision was in
process.
He said, The thing now is to push
things so that Great Britain and Ameri-
ca recognize our invincibility in defen-
sive war We lack neither men, war
material, nor raw material to hold out
for long time. We must, however, not
slacken in our determination, which
must remain alive in the army and at
home, All that might divide us must
be postponed until the end of the war.

come Uniform.

For best success In the dairy bust
ness one of the dairy breeds should
be selected and followed, that the
herd may become uniform, care being
taken to get good cows with which
to start. There Is more difference In
the cows Of any breed than there is
In the different breeds, says one
writer.
A profit can only be expected from
good cows, so better start with five
good cows than 20 poor ones. With
five you will find satisfaction, less
work and more profit. If you expect
to raise the heifer calves for future
use be sure they are not only sired
by registered bull, but that his ped
igree for great production Of milk and
butter runs back for five or more
generations on both sides.
We cannot all see our way clear to
begin with registered cows of high
merit. Good grades can usually be
bought costing but little more than
scrubs and by careful breeding herd
will soon be raised which will be both
pleasure and profit.
