Morals And Morale
OF Our Soldiers
In France Good
(By Associated Press.)

London, April 5.-"Ten weeks spen'
lin the war zone convinces me that the
morale and morals of the American
soldier in France are in full accord
with the finest traditions of American
arms and credit to the social and
religious standards of American So
ciety," said DR.. Daniel A. Polling OF
Boston, Associate president OF the
United Society of Christian Endeavor,
lin an interview with the Associated
Press on his arrival in London on his
way to America.
"My Investigations" he said, Car
ried me into every American landing
port in France; into rest camps and
training camps, and for ten days l
was practically in our front line, in
Guiding two nights and three days in
front-line dugout. l was right with
lour men all the time; l messed with
them, slept with them and expert
creed two barrages with them.
my whole experience convinced me
THAI the administration of our war ac
tivities in France is amazingly eff
cient. Our railroads, our camps our
food, our water supply, and our rap
idly increasing military equipment
are miracles of swift and thorough
achievement.
I'm the business of keeping our
soldiers physically and morally fit,
the program of our military authori-
tie is the most comprehensive and
aggressive ever laid out by nation
at war. The stories of wholesale
drunkenness and vice circulated in
lsome quarters at home concerning the
American Expeditionary Force were
false. While some men and groups of
mer have committed grave excuses
and shamed their uniforms, the small
number of those in proportion to the
Total number under arms is source
OF qualification and pride to every citi-
zen who believes in the moral sound
nesa of American society My own in
|vestigations substantiate the figures
already made public by the Army
Medical Department, which prove that
the American soldier in France is liv-
ing on higher moral plane than the
moral plane of American civilian life.
General Pershing and his associates
deserve not a resolution of inquiry
and censure but a vote of confidenc,
and the assurance Of the nations
wholehearted cooperation and sup
port.
"The work of the Young Mems
Christian Association in the American

enthusiastic commentator of every
visitor. The organizations many

WHY HE DIDN'T GET A RAISE

He stopped growing.
He had no initiative.
He watched the clock.
His temper kept him back.
He felt above his position.
His tongue outlasted his brain.
He wasn't ready for the next step.
He didn't put his heart into his
work.
He believed in living as he went
along.
His familiarity with inferiority
dulled his ideals.
He was always grumbling. He was
always behindhand.
He was not dependable; one never
knew where to find him.
He never dared to act on his own
Judgment; did not trust it.
He tried to substitute bluff for
training, preparation, expert knowl-
edge.
He never seemed to learn anythina
from his blunders, mistakes or exper-
fences.
He lacked system, orderliness in his
work; he was sloppy, slovenly, slip
shod, lazy.
He believed he would never be pro-
NOTED because he wasn't in with his
toss; didn't have a pull with him.

 ALI OVER NEW ENGLAND


 ALI OVER NEW ENGLAND
 During the past week, the Connecti- cut Agricultural College at sStorrs has sold Shropshire rams in all six of the New England states. The two highest priced yearlings rams worth $15o each s- were purchased by Spencer Borden of Fall River and A. W. Gill bert of Springfield. Mir Borden's ram Woodstock, Vt Mir. Giiberts ram was sent to his farm at Cornish, N. H., to be mated with sixty registered Shrop- shire ewes imported from Idaho.
 Among other buyers of college bred Shropshires, may be mentioned the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane at MiddFetown, the Rhode Island State College, at Kingston, H. A. Moses of Springfield president of the HamAsn County Farm Bureau and N. H. Bar rows of WaterPiile. Mt. In discussing the general sheep situation, H. L. Gar rigus, in charge of the department of animal hustandgy, said that these widely distributed sases were splendid evidence of the increasing demand for well bred sheep. Prot Garrigus be- lieves it will be virtually impossible to buy bred ewes next spring at any thing like reasonable prices and hence he is recommending that those inter ested in sheep hushandry start dn now with a pure bred ram and a few good grade ewes as this involves less out lay of money and will be nearly as profitable. He added, however. that no true sheep fancter could be long sat- isfed with anything less than the best type of pure bred stock.

the rate of from one third to two- thirds ounces per day should prove beneficial when cows are producing twenty pounds of milk or more
 It has been found that cows need about three quarters of an ounce of common salt daily with an addition Of three fifths of. an ounce for each twenty pounds of milk. Mixing salt with the grain is a good practice, as it will be eaten with greater relish as a result. One and one-half pounds of salt mixed with one hun dred pounds of grain gives about the right proportion. In addition to this a handful or two placed, before the cows each week will permit the con- sumption of more if desired.
 Scme men give more salt to stim- ulate drinking. thinking that greater milk yields will result. This is a mistaken notion because additional water will be drunk purely for the purpose of carrying off the excess salt The COW may be made uncom- fortable by this practice and if car ried too far it will result in loss d

CORN sHRINKAeE IN CRIB.

Inquiries have come in as to the amount which corn shrinks in the crib under ordinary conditions of storage and weather The best data available on this point is furnished in a bulletin issued by the Illinois experi- ment station. In conducting their ex- periments the experimenters from this station built a corn crib which could be rolled on to platform scales and they weighed the filled crib four times each month. The experiments were carried on for a period of nine years with a crib which held 300 bushels of corn.
 The average shrinkage or corn in the crib by months was as follows: November, 1.3; December, 3.2; Jan April 9.S; May 13.1; June f5.2; July and depend on the weather and on inc condition of the corn when placed in the crib to considerable extent. The shrinkage up to the end of April has varied from } to IS per cent. Data from other experiment. stations bears cut these figures. In one case corn placed in the crib in rainy weather lost 30 per cent
 Under the average weather condi- tions the shrinkage is small through the winter and up to April. After that it is relatively rapid as hot weather comes on through May and June. After that the corn has shrunk about its limit ad there will be little more shrinkage through the remain der of tue year. Corn exposed to the air more freely than in a corn crob will lose much more in the fall.

WINTER YOUR BEES OUTDOORS.

Last winter seventy y-fiKe per cent of the bees in New England. New York and Pennsylvania were killed. This is obviously .a tremendous loss tc an important food producing in dustry and, according to Lloyd E. Watson of the state college at Storrs. such losses can be almost wholly avoided by proper and effectual methods of winter management Prof. Watson comedies that success fnl winteFing constitutes one of the beekeeper's chief problems, but he mdintGiis that s.mp.e and well estab- Lshed principles enable the apiaris1 to GETTY his bees through from the close of oae honey season to the be- sinnins of the next.
 In cold weather the inmates of the hive form themselves into a more or less compact spherical cluster, the temperature of the interior of which normally ranges from forty nine to fifty seven degrees. Between these two temperatures the bees are very quiet, they consume very little horey, and they are in semidormant con dition. When the temperature falls below forty mine, the bees eat more honey the digestion of which raises the temperature again, but in so do- ing their intestines become filled with feces. This makes the bees restless. they move about, break up the clus- ter and after a time they may de- velop dysentery and die. Hives in which bees have died from this mal- ady are always spo.ked and stained inside over the frames and combs. On the other hand, if the temperature Of he cluster rises too high, then again the bees invariably gorge themselves with honey. become restless, try to fly out. ana finally develop dysentery
 The proper wintering of bees must always contemplate giving them con- ditions under which they can main tain temperature of forty-nine to fifty seven degrees with the con- sumption of the least amount of stores. Either they must be placed in a cellar or some special repository of about this range of temperature OF else they must be so perfectly packed with insulating material out of doors as to conserve their own heat so that they. can easily keep themselves at the right temperature. In Connecticut either method may be used but since all the conditions es- sential to successful cellar wintering are sometimes hard to satisfy, es- pecially the supplying of winter stores free from honey dew, out door wintering of bees is usually recom- mended.

KEEP DIRT OUT or THE MILK.

KEEP DIRT OUT OF THE MILK.
 The pasture season for this year is almost over And with its close comes again the extra barn labor. When cows are at pasture, both the barns and the cows require less at tention. but with the coming of win ter, the cows are brought under less favorable conditions and hence de- mand more time. In the first place, the barn should be cleaned out once or twice a day regardless of rain, snow, or cold and fresh bedding should be put under the cows. The practice of waiting till the barn looks badly or until it is convenient to take the litter to the field makes it prac- tically impossible for the cows to keep clean. Even with this care in the barn. the cows become more or less soiled and accumulate dirt and loose hairs. They should be curried and brushed every day. A few alin- sutes a day spent in this necessary cleaning will make-sthe animals look
