Paris, Feby. 18th. The Bourgeois pro-
position for an intet-Ai lied military force
to enforce peace was defeated by an over

French and Czecho-SiovaGs were the on
~ representatives voting in the affirma-

plan was then unanimously adopted as a
whole. The final draft consists of rs ar

draft at a plenary meeting of the Peace
Conference tomorrow. The conference
will not be asked to finally adopt it at this

London, Feb. 13th.-The d%enobiliza-

completed, according to authoritative in
formation here. After Saturday when

banded, the German Army will consist
Of about 100, 600 men on the eastern
front, and the 1918 and 1919 classes.
numbering about $50. 600 men, which
will be kept as a standing army. Et-
forts of the German authorities to
recruit volunteers for the army has
been un%productive but the official
view here is that they may be more
successful later Men who have been
in the army for four years do not have
a great desire to continue in the
fighting force. But it is understood
that they will find civil life in Germany
less attractive than the army and there
fore probably be willing to enlist later.
The British General Staff does not view
as dangerous the possibility OF Ger
many making military effort but is
taking full cOgnizance of the situation
which the staff believes exists. 1t is
pointed out that the German Staff is
still in existence and that doubtless
much artillery is still on hand. The
Germans, it is believed, could get men
quickly, if necessary, but the problem
of stores would f~orestalI any quick
ambitions to renew the fighting.

DEHORNING IS NOT PAINFUL
Operation Is Very Temporary and
 Insignificant.

Urepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Inquiries are frequently received as to whether the operation of dehorn- ing is very painful. and whether it may not be classed as cruelty to ani- malls. Those who have an extensive experience in dehorning appear to agree that the pain induced by the op- eratiOn has been greatly overestimat- ed. as careful observation has shown that shrinkage in the yield of milk as well as of butterfat following the de- horning of cows is very temporary and insignificant. On the other hand, the worry, pain and cruelty often inflicted by cattle upon their mates before be- ing deprived of their horns Is much more to be considered, and not infre- Quently results in the death of val. uable animal. A neighbor on an ad- joining farm to that owned by the writer few years ago lost two good milch cows in one winter through their being disemboweled by the horns of barnyard mates while out for exercise. He dehorned his entire herd almost im- mediately afterward. The increased safety of the animals much more than compensates for any loss of beauty re- sulting from the removal of horns.

Unless the weather man prevents thrashng continues until all the jobs are completed in the circle, and thus little extra work is required in shift ing wagon boxes or hay loaders Usu- ally the thrashing season is greatly shortened and this favors the timely completion of the subsequent fall work. such as blowing, seeding, dis tributing manure, and so on. The thrashing ring reduces the work of the housewife. as there are less men to feed during the harvest season.
 Practically all the thrashing rings perform some outside work as accom- modation at the customary rates. or to enlarge the ring in order to secure all the necessary help.
 When ring buys all the machinery new-separator, power, clover huller. and possibly grain sheller or si- lage cutter-and builds a shed to house the implements. the total capital under prewar prices required usually amounts to S3,OOO or $4,OOO. When it is possible for the company to hire . good engine or some other part of the equipment 1t may not be advisable to buy.
 Thrashing for the various members of the ring Is performed on business basis. an average days work being re- garded as 1000 bushels of oats, or about 1000 bushels of wheat or rye. Record is kept of the time put in by each laborer and the costs of the work are distributed among the members on the basis of the amount of grain thrashed. Farmers interested in the organization and promotion of thrash ing rings may obtain copies of the pub- lication describing them by writing to the United States department of agri- culture.

was a conical mound of hard earth.
inside this dwelt the queen mother.
After careful observation she was

On account of her great size she was
