tempt will be made to put the potato
silage into silos.
The object of the work Is to seek
a possible aid to the corn ration and
also to utilize the Gull potatoes as
well as to work up those injured for
commercial use by frost or bin dam
age.
Potato silage has been made in
Germany, but there a special culture
medium was used to start active fer
mentation in the chopped potatoes.
DR.. Rounds has originated plan
whereby the potatoes after grinding
are put at once into water-tight re-
ceptacles, such as barrels or tanks,
along with about per cent. of corn
meal sprinkled in among the mate
rial. A weighted covering then is
put over the top of the potato sflo."
The mixture is then tamped down
and covered for several inches with
cornstalks or leaves.
Fermentation starts at once, and II
the weather is warm gas bubbles ap-
pear in twenty-four hours. Consider
able pressure is developed, which re-
quires additional weights on the
cover. After a few days this move
ment subsidies, but fermentation Is
not completed until the end of three
weeks, depending on the temperature.
by the use Of the corn meal to
provide a tactic acid fermentation in
the potatoes the Americans have i'm
proved on the German plan" said DR..
Rounds in explanation. "The use OF
from 2 to 5 per cent. of corn meal
mixed with the crushed potatoes will
insure true acid fermentation
which Will convert potatoes into sill
age"
1t Is claimed that the work may be
done upon any scale and that losses
should be small where reasonable
care is used. The resulting potato
silage, according to some specialists,
is acid In flavor, free from putri'l
odors and has the consistency and
appearance Of the original crushed
potato.
The machine which DR.. Rounds
used for his exhibition at the state
potato show in Madison crushed the
tubers by passing them through an
apple crater which has been modifed
by substituting rows of blunt spikes
in place of the crater knives.

PRUSSIANS
CUT TO PIECES
Americans Wiped Out soche Troops
Who Made Every Effort to
Hold Their Line
Many Dead.
by Fred S. Ferguson, United Press
Staff Correspondent

WITH AMERICAN ARMIES IN
FRANCE. Aug. 3.-Rapid giving way
Of the Boches followed bitter fight
ing along the line Of Seringes, Sergy
and Cierges. There was no denying
the offensive spirit OF the Americans
in that region.
The Germans made every effort to
hold, not only by throwing in their
best troops, but by making great
preparations for defense of the for
ests of Nestles, Fere and other woods
in that region. Big ammunition
dumps were captured there, the
Boches having no opportunity to de-
stroy them. The enemy also built
extensive dugouts and trench sys-
TENS, and streached great quantities
Of barbed wire.
The Prussian guards and other d.
visions were cut to pieces by the
ferocity of the American attack.
Roads, fields and woods are Uttered
with enemy dead.
American artillery destroyed great
numbers of machine gun nests in
the woods. Those remaining con-
tinued to fire until the doughboys
rushed them. Then would come a
further uninterrupted advance until
the next bunch of machine guns was
encountered.
The Americans swung across the
fields in open lines. through woods
and along the roads, in the highest
spirits. Some men who had become
separated from their own units and
had been fighting with Others for
two or three days, sighted their own
outfits and yelled, We'll, 50 long,
here's my outfit" and joined up with
their own unit again.
Meantime, unceasing rain poured
down on the boys, who had been
fighting constantly without rest and
snatching bite to eat at irregular
intervals. They laughed it off.
Stray prisoners were picked up
here and there and were sent back
to the rear along with captured ma
chine guns.
The doughboys continued to trudge
through the mud and water. Wagons
carrying guns, ammunition and ra-
lions followed in their wake. By
noon all the roads the Boches had
held in the morning were jammed
with every sort of army conveyance.
