SAMUEL WooDFlLl. First lieutenant, Company M, Goth
 Infantry

Three acts of conspicuous daring in one day near Cunel, France. October F, 1918, won the Distinguished Sery- ice Cross for Lieut.. Woodfill. While he was leading his company against the enemy his line came under heavy machine gun fire, which threatened to hold up the advance. Followed by two soldiers at twenty-five yards this officer went out ahead of his first line toward q machine gun nest and worked his way around it's flank, leav- ing the two soldiers in front. When he got within ten yards of the gun it ceased firing and four of the enemy by Lieut.. Woodfill The fourth, an officer, rushed at Lieut.. Woodfill, who attempted to club the officer with his rifle. After a hand-to-hand struggle, Lieut.. Woodfill killed the officer with his pistol. His company thereupon continued to advance until shortly afterward another machine gun nest was encountered. Calling his men to follow, Lieut.. Woodfill rushed ahead of his line in the face of heavy fire from the nest. and when several of the enemy appeared above the nest he shot them, capturing three other members of the crew and silencing the gun. A few minutes later this officer, for the third time, demonstrated con- spicuous daring by charging another machine gun position killing five men in one machine gun pit with his rifle. He then drew his revolver and started to jump into the pit when two other gunners only few yards away turned their gun on him. Failing to kill them with his revolver, he grabbed a pick lying near by and killed both of them. Inspired by the exceptional courage displayed by this officer, his men pressed on to their objective under severe shell and machine gun fire. Lieut.. Woodfill is married and lives at 167 Alexandria Pike, Fort Thomas, Ky.

A Good Type to Select for Laying.

their nests before there is any dan- ger of the eggs chilling, but if they do not go back in half an hour in or dinary weather, they should be put on the nest. Where large number of sitters are kept in one room it is ad- visable to let them off in groups of from four to six at time. The eggs and nests should be examined and cleaned, removing all broken eggs and washing those that are Soiled; in the latter case the soiled nesting material should be removed and clean straw added. Nests containing broken eggs that the hen is allowed to sit on soon become infested with mites and lice, which cause the hens to become un- easy and leave the nest often causing the loss of valuable sittingS of eggs. In mite-infested nests, the hen, If fast ened in, will often be found standing over rather than sitting on the eggs. Many eggs that are laid in the late winter and early spring are infertile. For this reason it is advisable to set several hens at the same time. After the eggs have been under the hens from five to seven days. the time de pending somewhat on the color and thickness of the shells-white-she eggs being easier to test than those having brown shells-they should be tested, the infertile eggs and dead germs removed, and the fertile eggs put back under the hen. In this way 1t is often possible to put all the eggs that several hens originally started to sit on under fewer hens and reset the others. For example, 30 eggs are set under three hens at the same time, ten under each. At the end of seven days we find on testing the eggs from all the hens that ten are infertile which leaves us 20 eggs to reset, which we do by putting them under two hens, and have the remaining hen sit over again after she has set only seven days. In this way considerable time can be saved in ones matching oper- ations.

 Kidney disease is usually indicated by weariness. sleeplessness, nervousness, despondency, baekaehe, stomach trou- ble, pain in loins and lower abdomen. gall stones, gravel, rheumatism. sciatiea and lumbago.

THE MUSK RAT.

The musk rat, as it's name would h. dicate, is a species of rat. It is found nowhere but in America. Its body is shaped like that of the ordinary rat, but instead of the short, close hair of the land species, it is covered by thick reddish-brown fur, and because it lives much in the water it has webbed tees. Although very awkward on land, it is lively and playful in water, and is great swimmer and diver.

WELL-PRESERVED STAKES

Some of the piles in use in Amster- dam are three to four hundred years old. That part which is not in the ground in salt water is often bored by pile worm near the surface, but is preserved by driving in nails with very large heads. so as to give the pile an iron coating. This coating is then transformed by the water into a layer of rust, which protects the wood from the pile worm. This process must be repeated every fifteen years.
