to get a company of engineers up

of the most disagreeable tasks that
falls to a soldiers lot.
The regiment then proceeded
through Bourmont, with its intensive
training, by night marches to st.
Mihiel, where it prepared the terrain
for the attack. At the st. Mihiel Of
fensive the most critical problem was
that OF roads. The engineers solved
This, in spite of the almost unsur-
mountable difficulties. They built
roads across that tangle mass of wire,
stakes, shell craters trenches and 9th
er obstacles. They constructed a po-
sition of resistance. They built a
new sector. Before these works were
entirely completed the regiment was
moved to the Argonne.
"The Argonne Meuse offensive was
for the engineers a repetition in many
ways of the battle north of Chateau
Thierry. They entered the battle as
reserve, but had detachments with the
advance guard of each infantry bri-
gade. These detachments had the
dangerous duty of blowing-up hostile
entanglements and clearing the way
for the infantry. Before the battle
was many days old the engineers had
to be used to mend the roads and
construct necessary shelters, but
were kept constantly on the alert, to
be thrown in at a moments notice to
reinforce the infantry.
Its final operation in the war,
south of Sedan, put the regiment to
its greatest test. fastening forward
after a partly disorganized enemy,
the division met with blown up roads,
railroads and communications. The
engineers had to overcome these OBJ
stacles. One company was with each
brigade; the remaining four held as
reserve. The regiment had to be
quickly assembled. The mighty fill
north of Brieulles was complete
wreck. All communications to the
north were cut. To succeed it was
necessary for the assaulting troops TO
press the enemy without respite. They
could not advance except to certain
disaster without ammunition and
food The advance was not delayed
one minute. The engineering feats
performed by this regiment during
this brief period of open warfare
were marvellous. The regiment was
however, given no rest but was as
sembled and by supreme eqort reach
ed the banks of the Meuse with the
infantry in readiness to throw across
necessary bridges.
"The long march into Germany
followed and there as part of the
army of occupation, the regiment oc-
cupied Mayschoss in the Kreis of All

CATTLE SHIPPERS COMPLAIN
ID. & X. G. ACCOMMODATIONS

Delta Tribune
Cattlemen complain terribly of the
poor accommodations furnished them
by the Rio Grande for shipping from
this neck of the woods, W. f.. School
field, Truman Foley, High Thornley,,
and Geo. Young came in with cattle
for shipment last week on Wednesday
evening. II was Saturday, late in
the afternoon, before they were able
to secure cars and were permitted TO
load. In the meantime the stock was
EeId here in the yards where there are
no feed racks, and hay that cost $50
Il ton had to be thrown in the dirt
and manurs. There are no watering
troughs in the yards, and the stock
had to be driven to the river twice a
day for water. Then when it came
| to loading, the chute was so rotten il
broke down and three of the animals
/ got away and it was several hours be
/ fore they Were found and returned
to the yards.
Just why the railroad company viii
permit such rotten service is beyond
the comprehension of the ordinary
mind. The freight rate is high
enough, shippers say, to justify good
train service and reasonable accom-
| modations. We believe the complaint
is well taken and an indignant public
should rise up and demand bette,
service.

BULL ASSOCIATIONS ARE

Agricultural College Sews-Notes.-
The farmers generally do hot real
ize the high values Of feeds. They
have always produced most of their
feeds. II has been very cheap in years
gone by and because Of that condition
they do not realize that when they
throw . fork full Of hay to their COW,
that fork full has a value of from 10
to 20 cents. All because they do not
realize the cost, they have failed to
improve their herds by better breeding
Lots Of herds ofdairy cattle can be
found headed with inferior and scrub
bulls. These herds are maintained at
great loss and production is dis
eouraged.
In many. sections of Colorado farm
ers can and should buy and use their
sires co-operatively.s Good bulls can
be purchased at low cost to the in
divfdual farmer and will not only stop
the operation of the business at loss
but will make it profitable. Why use
a sire out of dam with a record of

KANSAS HORSE DISEASE
SPREADING RAPIDLY
by DR.. Geo. II. Gloyer)

The Kansas Horse Disease" which
spread over a wide area in 1912, has
again appeared and is spreading rap
idly. 1t started this time at Hartman,
Colorado, and has spread as far west
as Rocky Ford and Fort Morgan Il
Is also in western Kansas and Neb-
raska. At least thousand horses
have been affected and half of them
have died. Investigators from the
Agricultural College and the Bureau
Of Animal Industry are in the field and
laboratory bending every effort to
determine its cause and means of con-
troll. At this time neither the cause
nor means of prevention has been de-
termined but veterinarians are appar-
emily treating the cases with more sue
cess and saving on the average fully
half of them. 1t is hoped that the dis
ease will disappear with the appear
ance of frost as it did in 1912, but
should this b. true, there is still time
for it TO spread over wide area and
kill many horses.

THE PARABLE OF THE
WISE GRANDSON

Agricultural College News-Notes:-
Old Farmer Hayseed used to say
that his boy had enough education
when he studied the "three RS" but
his son found out that to successfully
use the various kinds of farming ma
chinery, he needed some knowledge of
physics, mechanics and mechanical
engineering. He also found out that
he could not do his full duty relative
to his family without putting in de-
vices to help the women with their
work. His wife said it was not fair
for him to get mowers, binders and
other improved machinery to help him
with his work unless he also supplied
her with power washing machine
and wringer. power cream separator.

THE AUTOMOBILE. THE
BACKYARD GARDEN, SHADE
TREE LEAVES AND WAR

Agricultural College ews-Notes:-
At first there may seem to be
no important relation between these
four things. During the past season
the war gardening campaigns in towns
and cities brought more than one
million acres of idle land into produc-
tive use. To increase or even main
tain the productiveness of this land,
under intensive cultivation either far
war or peace, there should be some
way Of fertilizing it. But the autnmo-
bile has practically eliminated the
family driving horse from village and
city and there are no stable cleanings
to keep up the fertility Of the kitchen
garden
The quantities of shade-tree leaves
which litter the lawns and walks each
autumn are valuable substitute. In
stead Of burning these leaves and
smudging your neighbours nearly to
suffocation each autumn, much better
use of the leaves can be made by COM
posting them for use on the backyard
garden. They may be eomposted by
packing them into a large outdoor
bin in a shady corner Of the backyard
or in 4 pit dug into the earth. In
either case they should be thoroly wet
so as to hasten their decay, which is
apt to be slower in dry than in hum
id regions. A plan which is suited
TO irrigated soils is that of spading or
pIowing the leaves under during the
late fall after the garden is harvested.
In this way the leaves are at once dis
posed Of and the soil will be in the
best condition for early planting the
next spring.

Denver Record Stockman:-Some
notion Of the hard conditions prevail

that the ranchmcn along the Yellow

ter to do this than TO let the animals

Western Nebraska has been taking on
