front is still vague. All that is def
nitely known at this hour about the
opening OF this third phase Of the
monster struggle is that through
out the night and the early morning
hours the Germans hurled upon the
lines opposite their tanks a hur-
zane Of high explosives that al
most outdid the bombardment which
preceded the first day OF the battle,
March 81.
The important thing about this
new tornado of metal is that il took

British battle front from the Luce

Hot, heavy foods and iced drinks
often play havoc with bad stomachs
In hot weather. The weak ones haven't
got a chance. A quickly chilled or
overworked stomach is starter of
untold misery for its owner.
When you have that dull, depressed
feeling after eating-stomach pains,
bowel disorders, heartburn or nausea,
belching, food repeating-it is the dan
ger point. You want to look out-and
be quick about 1t in this hot weather.
A way has been discovered to make
sick stomachs well and to keep them
cool and sweet. 1t is commonsense
way. No starvation plan of diet is
needed. Make this test and see how
quickly you get a good appetite In
hot weather and enjoy the things you
like without misery to follow.

BLACK-HEART OF POTATOES
improper Shipping Precautions caust
Heavy Loss to Michigan
Growers.

East Lansing, Mich.--One Of the fire.
quent causes of loss to Michigan grow
egs of potatoes during the past winter
and spring was the prevalence OF
black-heart in many carload lots of
tubers. In two carloads shipped from
Ludington to Toledo, for instance, the
loss was 80 per cent, while In another
car shipped from Lansing to Toledo
the damage was almost equally heavy.
Most people are familiar with black
heart. In advanced cases the tubers
show hollow, black-bordered cavities
In the center.
Black-heart Is produced when pota-
toes are heated to 80 degrees to 104
degrees f. for few hours or stored
at lower temperatures in piles deeper
than 6 feet without ventilation from
the sides or bottom. Temperatures of
90 degrees to 104 +. are not infreQuent
in cars that are started out during
very cold weather, fired, and then de-
layed in transit or unloading until
unseasonably warm weather sets in
suddenly, or In cars that pass from
zone of very cold weather into one
of warm weather. Overheating or lack
of ventilation In cellars is equally eff
fective in bringing about black-heart.
Injury of this type can be reduced
by closer attention to the firing of the
stoves, to the loading Of the cars, and
to proper provision for air circulation
within the cars.
A false floor and false walls should be
used, in order to permit the free move
ment of large volumes Of heated air
to the bottom Of the load. In cars
constructed with end ice bunkers. false
end walls are not necessary. The po-
tatoes should never be loaded In such a
way that the circulation Of the heated
air from the stove to the ceiling, over
the top Of the load, and under the
false floor will be cut Off at any point.
They should not be loaded closer to
the stove than feet, and should be
protected from the direct heat Of the
stove by a sheet of asbestos or other
nonconducting material.

what II has cost him In previous years
TO produce the crop. and know what
the minimum price is that he can
accept and still profit by producing
the crop. The margin between the
cost of production and the maximum
price the manufactured can pay Will
go to the man who shows the best
business ability. and has facts upon
which TO base his dealings. A care
fully kept, systematic farm record is
the most important factor in carrying
out these suggestions to a profitable
end.
Although most of the points touched
upon have been in relation to things
of the business world off the farm,
records can be of equal value TO any
farmer in connection with the man.
agement on the farm. Many farmers
realize that there is opportunity Cor
Improvement, but lack of definite In
formation on their several lines Of In
terest keeps them from making any
changes. At the present time. farmers
all over the country are confronted
with shortage of farm labor. In
many instances this could be met in
part by more efficient use of the Ia
Dor actually available.
Opportunities for Saving Labor.
In many sections Of the country II
Is common custom to use large units
of horse labor per man, one man driv-
ing three and four horses on farm
implements instead of only two, thus
saving the time of another man. 9th
er sections of equally large fields and
smooth ground are still using only the
twO-hOrse teams. Such instances as
these are entirely a matter of custom.
1t behOOves every man to examine
conditions on his farm to see If he is
OF this custom-bound class. Many men
have not come TO realize this until
they have kept record of their la
Dor throughout the year, and realize
In concrete way how much they
might have saved on this one factor
alone.
The distribution and efficiency OF
farm labor is closely interrelated with
the systems of crop rotations. Each
farmer can. by little careful thought
and planning ahead, make his system
Of rotation such that ii not only pro-
duces crops economically by making
the best use of his labor, but 1t also
furnishes the proper amount OF nour-
ishing roughage which can be fed
profitably on the farm.
When one stops to consider the
many ways that farm records can he
useful in bringing about better man
agement, and thereby greater profit In
farming, no one can afford not TO use
the few minutes required each day to
keep careful account of his farm
business, and receive the benefit ac-
corded by ii.
A simple set of farm records, such
as have been worked out by the farm
management demonstrators of the col
lege to meet the peculiar needs of the
farmers of the State, can be procured
through the county agricultural agents,
and any assistance needed to get start
