ALLIES HOLDING
THEIR Line INTACT
GERMANS STILL ATTACKING VIC
IOUSLY ON BOTH SIDES OF
RHEIMS SALIENT.

London.-Although the Germans
ere still attacking the allied
lines viciously on both sides OF
the Rheims salient, what gains
they are making continue to be
small ones on isolated sectors, and
apparently are confined to the region
along the Marine and Immediately
southwest of Rheims.
Eastward from Rheims, through the
Champagne sector, the French report
that they everywhere are holding the
enemy and keeping their line intact,
despite the prodigious expenditure OF
shells by the Germans and the deter
Eination with which their troops are
delivering their thrusts.
Everywhere the battle are being
stubbornIy resisted, and where the
French and Italians have been COM
PEELED to give ground, it has been on
ly after the infection of extremely
heavy casualties on the invaders. The
Americans nowhere have been forced
to withdraw. On the contrary, near
Fossoy, near the bend of the Marine
between Chateau Thierry and Dor
mans, they have made further inn
provements in their positions. Like
their French comrades in arms, the
Americans also have been engaged in
violent fighting.
Daily it becomes increasingly ap-
parent that the strategy of the Ger
man high command in the present
battle has, foremost in its considera-
ton, the blotting out of the Rheims
salient and the Strengthening of the
line eastward through Champagne to-
ward Verdun. The hardest fighting
of Tuesday was southwest Of Rheims.
where the enemy is endeaVoring to
break through the hill and forest re-
gion, reach the railroad running from
Rheims to Epernay and force tho
evacuation of Rheims.
In these endeavors the German
war Office says the Germans have
driven back the allied troops on the
mountain of Rheims between Mantle
nal and north of Pourcy, the last NAM
ed place being a scant five miles dis
tant from the Rheims-Epernay rail-
road. The French official commune
cation admits that the Germans hold
the line west of Nanteuil-la-Fosse
about mile and half south of Pour
cy and relatively five miles west o.
the railroad.
The German war Office now claims
the capture of $4,000 prisoners since
the present offensive began.

our system of mixed farming and live
stock production. This gives the rails
ing of sheep a new appeal in older
farming areas.
The main factor In determining the
cost of other animal products is the
value of grain and mill feeds; pastur-
age and roughage are important, but
both beef and pork require consider
able use of concentrated feeds. The
production of lambs and mutton re-
quire a very much smaller proportion
of fat and therefore a smaller use of
grain than is required in these other
meat animals. Sheep are able to get
a good portion of their feed from
rough. permanent grass pasture and at
the same time keep 1t clean Of weeds.
This increases rather than decreases
the collaborating capacity of the pas
ture. AS sheep require comparative
ly little of the owners labor, the labor
cost per dollars worth of wool or
lambs Is lower than in any other farm
animal product. While the labor re-
QuiIGu al AdASRA6 SACCP 40 Aot ACdfJ
it is continuous and somewhat differ
ent from that required in the care of
other stock.
Many Of the obstacles that have
l1indered the progress of sheep rails
ing In intensive farming districts have
been or are being overcome. The COM
petition given sheep growing on farms
by the production OF sheep Gil lever
priced range land is being removed.
A second but only temporary obstacle
to a quick increase in sheep produc-
ton lies in the fact that comparative
~ few farmers are as well qualified
to care for sheep as for other classes
Of stock. The needs and habits of
sheep differ from those of horses, and
swine, but present no problems that
will not be met by interested study
and observations supported by salts
factory returns.

HUNS UNABLE TO.
CHECK BIG DRIVE.
AMERICAN AND FRENCH TROOPS
CONTINUE TO MAKE GAINS
ON rs MILE FRONT.
1900 PRISONERS TAKEN
Offensive On Entire Front in France
Seems Now Definitely To Have Sts-
fened From Hands of Germans
and Their Allies.

With the American Army in Franco.
Although the Germans have thrown
large reinforcements into the new
battle line between scissors and the
region of Chateau Thierry, they no.
where thus far have been able tc
stem the tide of the onslaughts the
American and French troops are max
ing against them.
Their gains were carried to their
depth in the center of the rs mile line
and on the southern flank northwest
of Chateau Thierry where the Ameri-
ms are holding forth
The fighting was particularly vio-
lent throughout the day around Sols-
sons and in the region of Chaudun,
where the Germans sent in large
forces of reserves in an endeavor 20
push back the allied troops. Here
the American artillery did notable
work, killing or wounding many of The
enemy and aiding greatly in stavlng
off the Germans.
On the sector where the Americans
are fighting, northwest of Chateau
Thierry, the German line was driven
in upon the plateau northwest Of
BONES and to the height to the north
OF Courchamps, the former position
representing gain Of three and a
half miles from the point OF original
departure at Torcy. While it is no.
possible as yet geographically to limit
with exactitude the gsins made in the
wo days fighting along the front by
the French and Americans, it is
known that at its deepest point the
penetration has reached approximate
ly seven miles and that over the en-
tire 25 miles it ranges down to about
two miles.
In addition to the infection of ex-
tremely heavy casualties on the enc
my, the French and American forces
up to the present have taken more
than 1900 prisoners, including two
colonels with their chiefs of staff, AID
more than $50 cannon.
The offensive on the entire western
front in France seems now definitely
to have shifted from the hands OF
the Germans to those of the entente
allies. East and west nf Rheims,
where the Germans last Monday
started battle along 65-mile front,
from Chateau Thierry to eastern
Champagne, the enemy is now on the
defensive on most of the sectors
where there is any fighting.
In the region southwest Of Ypres
the British have carried out another
successful incursion into the German
lines, capturing the village of Meta
rem, point of strategic value for OBJ
servation purposes. while further
south Australian troops gained
ground. The two maneuvers cost the
Germans nearly 400 men made pris-
oner and the loss of several machine
guns.

AMERICANS RETAkE !
TWO LOST TOWNS
GERMANS CONTINUING THEIR
EFFORTS TO BREAK THROUGH
FRENCH AND AMERICAN LINES.

Londen.-Furiously launching new
attacks against the allied positions On
the Marne front from Chateau Thier-
ny to Rheims, the Germans are con-
tinuing their efforts to break through
the French and American defense.
They have made progress during the
past night, but it has been decidedly
slow in comparison with the sweep or
the Teutonic legions in their attacks
in Picardy, Flanders and along the
Aisne.
1t appears that the enemy, after
crossing the Marine between Dormans
and Chatillon, has reached in this
area the villages of st. Agnan, La
Chapelle and Monthedon. which are
approximately, q mile and three
quarters south of the river, but in the
outskirts of these towns they have
been held up.
West OF Dormans, which is "a miles
east of Chateau Thierry, American
troops are holding the battle line.
Unofficial advices state that in this
area they have retaken the villages
of Fossoy and Crezancy, south OF the
Marine, where the Germans gained
ground in the first rush across the
river.
The deepest penetration along this
line approximately is three and three
quarter miles northeast of Chatilon
in the Rodemat wood. This marks
the greatest advance of the Germans
at any point along the line since their
offensive began. East of Rheims the
situation also appears reassuring'
The French battle positions are de-
clared intact, and the Germans have
not been able to advance southwark
further than the outskirts of the
woods that parallel on the north the
ancient Chausee Ronaine, the main
highway running eastward from
Rheims. They are being held Gil
along this line as far as the region
north of the town of Suippe, which
virtually overiooks the easterIy linz
it's of the great battle.
In the German offensive during the
spring and summer delay was one OF
the prime factors in the situation.
The Germans have never been able
to gain materially when faced ty
forces that were numerically equal,
and all Of their drives have come to
a pause when allied reinforcements
were rushed up to the threatening
points.
The Germans are now more than
"a hours behind schedule. and there
is little to indicate that they still
have striking power greater or as
great as they possessed when their
attacks began. The allies, therefore
seem to have reason to believe that
the supreme test of their defense has
been met successfully.
The battle is not over az yet, and
there may be a possibility, il not a
probability, that the German high
command has not played its trump
cards in the mighty game that is
going on. There. is however, feel.
ing Of satisfaction. over the first
phases Of the new drive and conf
dence that the allied forces will con-
tirue to resist as vigorously as they
have during the terrible first hours
of the conflict.

GOOD TEAMS ARE VALUABLE
Mean More to Up-to-Date Farmer
Than Is Generally Believed
Plan to Raise Colts.

Good teams mean more to the up
to-date farmer than is generally be-
lieved. Without good teams it is a
very difficult matter to do good farm
ing. But at present prices farmers
may hesitate to buy heavy draft horses
and mules, Notwithstanding the fact
that they are after all economical.
It would be good plan to get some
heavy mares and raise colts for sale
or to take the place of lighter animals
and old teams on the farm.
