GERMAN HARNESS
MADE OUT OF PAPER

WITH THE THIRD ARMY ON THE
RHINE, MARCH 2S.-An examination
of the huge mass of military mate
rial abandoned by the German third
army in the region of Coblenz show :
the straits to which the Germans
were reduced by the shortage Of
leather and cotton.
In every case where il was possible
substitute was utilized in the manu-
facture of war material. For that
reason much of the supplies aban-
doned will be of little use tc the
American army. Whence pTaCtic-
able. paper was used instead OF cloth
or leather.
One warehouse contains thousands
OF bags made of a rough paper cloth
for use as sand-bags in the construc-
tion Of trenches and defense systems.
According TO military men, these
bags would weather only a few
weeks and are probably not worth
the shipping space.
Another storehouse was packed
with horse equipment, most of il
manufactured from paper cloth. The
American salvage officers discovered
iu his warehouse a new wrinkle
in the use OF paper. There were hun
dreds of sets of harness for horses
made Of paper fabric. reinforced with
thin steel cables; also halters, bri-
dies and saddle bags. Salvage men
believe that for the rough usage of
war. this harness is as good a. Ieath-
er harness. inasmuch a. il is replace
able cheaply. and i'm case an animal
is killed on the battlefield the loss is
less. In the same stOrehOuSe were
thousands OF horse blankets OF pa
per. which are probably as warm as
were hundreds Of coils OF rope and
cord Of twisted paper strips. which
is of little use because il quickly
trays and pulls apart after wetting
Among the abandoned material was
several thousand thick straw horse
shoes. The use Of these shoes is
puZzIing military men. but IL il be-
Iieved they were used TO muffIe the
tread OF horses hauling artillery near
the front The Germans even used
paper for the covering Of stretchers
for wounded.
Also there were great quantities OF
bolts OF paper fabric for use in maxi
ing the upperS Of shoes The fabric I
resembles a heavy black canvas with !
a shiny finish. Upon casual inspec- I
ton il is difficult TO determine that /,
the material is not thick shiny can
vas, except that il is less pliable than 4
cotton fabric.

hog man knows it is poor policy to al
low mud wallows in the hog lot. They
are not only unsightly, but they are
breeders Of disease, where the hog
can collect germs and spread them
rapidly. There are ways of provid-
ing this much enjoyed sport of the
porkers however, and in a sanitary
way. The United States experimental
farm at Beltsville, Nd, has a depart
ment for hogs. On this model farm
they try out various feeds and meth
DDS of feeding to ascertain ways of
producing pork the most cheaply. In
one OF their paddocks they have &C.
ment wallow. Two paddocks Of hogs
were fed the same ration. The hogs
in the paddock with the cement wal
low showed a considerable greater
gain over the hogs in the paddock
without cement wallow. If the hogs
can be made to produce more flesh in
a given time because of wallow, let
there be wallow, but make it SAM
tary one, one in which there are no
cholera germs and one that can be
flooded and cleaned and disinfected.
Producers of alfalfa seed in the
United States received $3.50 a bushel
Nov. Is. 1916; $9.43 a year later, and
1898 Nov. Is, 1918. After the harvest
of 1916 the price considerably de-
clined, but an upward movement fol-
lowed February, 1917, when the price
received by producers was as low as
$7.75, and by March, 1918, it reached
the high price of $1,000 a bushel

Is a breeder of Poland China swine,
and has some of the very best blood
lines of the breed in his herd. He is
now running about Is brood sows,
and has on hand at this time some 60
head of fine pigs, with many more to
come. His herd is headed by such in
dividuals as "King L. 295383. This
individual as yearling was one of
the greatest boars shown anywhere
during 1917. At the Omaha show he
won first In a very strong class of
twelve contestants, of which four had
been first prize winners at different
state fairs. At one year he weighed
10 pounds, and is now rated as a
1000 pound hog. ttzz :
Another one of Mr. Pederson's great
sires is Long Big Bob" 2953S5. This
animal was bred by Fred ,Sievers, and.
Mr.. Peterson selected him because he
was the largest, tallest and longest,
best proportioned boar he has seen.
He is pronounced by best judges to be
q real HOO pound boar. For this ami
NAL Mr.. Peterson has turned down
some very fattering offers.
It will he remembered that Mr.. Ped
erson held sale of bred sows at his
place February %, and despite the ex.l
ceedingly severe weather the stock
averaged up pretty well, but nothing
near what it would have, had the
weather been favorable. The Review,

and MI. Peterson was highly pleased
with the work.

fell to 3,3l3,O00 fine ounces, worth

and silver production dropped to

$4,000 at the standard government
price of one dollar an ounce, the
smallest record since 1918, accord
ing to the joint preliminary esti-
mate Of Director Of the Mint Baker,
and the geological survey issued to-
day. Rapid mounting of the cost
Of mining and refinement is as
signed as the cause of the decline,
which is shown by comparison with
the 1917 production of $83,750,0W

California led as a gold producing
