AustraIia's Pride in Warships.

The commonwealth is proud of its
warships and particularly of its bat
tie cruiser which saved Sydney and
Melbourne from bombardment at the
outbreak of the war. The Australian
Arts club has shown lis pride in a prac-
tical way by presenting a selection OF
paintings, drawings and etchings to
the ward room of III. M. A. S. Aus
tralia. All the gifts were the work
Of members of the club, which includ-
ed some of the leading artists of the
commonwealth. In return, Commo-
dore Dumaresq entertained the COM
mittee of the club at luncheon on the
battle cruiser, which has been sta
toned in Farm cove, Sydney harbor,
since it's return from the North sea.

Those Graves in France

In Flanders field the remains of
American heroes lie. Their graves
are marked and every attention and
care il exercised in making the rest
ing places fitting memorials to the
deeds of our boys who died for their
country. The mother or father
whose son lies in that hallowed spot
has every reason to feel that it is
fitting and proper that the remains
should rest forever with the comrades
who died with them in battle. A
little reasoning, and an acquaintance
with the grewsome facts, ought to
convince any relative that it would
be little short of ghoulish to disturb
these graves in France. For the TACT
cannot be eyaded that men who died
in battle were often dismembered
and parts OF their bodies were scat
tered, aud often entirely missing.
The Identification tags served their
valuable purposes, and quite com
monty . number OF bodies were
placed in the same grave. To ex-
hume one body for shipment to the
United States would mean that it
would be necessary to disturb the re-
maine of all of these.
Miss Myrtle Stinson of Washing
ton, who spent eighteen months in
volunteer war service with the Polish
aud French, as well as the American
armies and who was wounded in
action, and decorated for gallant SER
vice, throws light on this important
subject. She recalls her experiences
at hospital in The South of France
where boys were sent TO recuperate
after having worked among the
graves of their comrades, and in ex.
huming the bodies. Miss Stinson
talked with thousand of these boys
who did this work, and she says that
in every one of their countenances
there fingered expressions of horror.
and their eyes were windows of suf-
ferinQs of the anguished souls. A
great many of them had lost their
minds, while others were prematurely
aged hy their experiences. Miss
Stinson says that she knows from her
own experiences that If the dead SOL
diers buried in the fields of Flanders
could speak that they would cry out
against the attempt to have their
comrades dig up the remnant re-
mains that have been inferred. She
says that il American parents could
see, ~ she has seen, the beautiful
places where these sons are buried,
and where loving care vies with the

PROPER FUNCTION OF STOCK

fPraparea by the United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture.s
An important function of live stock
on the farm is to furnish a market for
the crops grown, enabling farmers to
convert the grasses, forage crops,
legumes and so on into higher-priced
finished products and to return to the
soil the plant food taken from it.

Sugar and Politics

Facts about Sugar, edited by E
w Mayo, is the leading publication
in the country, and it is regarded
as the particular friend of the
domestic sugar producers. Under
the heading THE Blight of Govern
ment Control, "Mr. Mayo says,
editoriaIly: The experience of
many years has demonstrated that
when sugar gets into politics or when
politics gets into sugar it is the sugar
industry that suffers. MIR. Mayo
takes hope in the raising of The
Blight, and continues: Under
government control American sugar
production has not progressed, but
it is to be hoped that the announce
ment of a policy of non-interference
by the Government during the com
ing year will be made sufficiently
definite and authoritative to remove,
i'm part at least, the sitting influence
of continued power to control.

they would not want their sons to
have any other final resting places
The,femoval of bodies from the
graves in France cannot be accom-
plished with any degree of absolute
certainty. The Army and the Gov
eminent has used every precaution
to properly mark the graves, and it
is certain that the remains of our
heroes are buried in the spots that
are indicated. 1t is not certain,
however, that they could be exhumed
and transported overseas with any
positive assurance that the right re
mains would be delivered.
And then again, it is claimed that
organized propaganda for the re-
moval of these bodies has been in
stituted by the undertakers of the
United States, and their trade
journals are reminding the men in
that profession of the great volume
of business that would come TO them
if the bodies of dead soldiers were
brought from overseas.
Mothers and fathers who will
allow the fullest sway to their senti
mental feelings, and who will at the
same time view this momentous
question in its practical light, can
hardly fail to answer with positive
and emphatic no when the ques-
ton is asked of them as to whether
they wish the remains OF their loved
ones brought from overseas.

SHOWS VALUE. OF FARM WOOD.
 LANDS.

To show the serious disadvantages and economic loss to which large numbers of farmers have been put because they have not properly utilized available woodlands. the Forest Service, United States De- pertinent of Agriculture, has. compiled information regarding con;iIti1ns Tn . number of sections of the country. of (which the following cases are typical
 Farmers in Rockbridse County, Va, who have timber on their own farms have been little affected oy '.igh lumber prices, and have been able to make the necessary repairs and improvements, while their neighbors whose home wood lands failed to afford the needed supplies of timber have been obliged ato, cease or greatly curtail improvements requiring much lumber. These farms are suffei ing from depreciation in value. In Califor- nia, where the agricultural prosperity has been marked for the past three years, many .reaichers are now making only such repairs and improvements as are abso- lutely necessary. This is owing to the high prices, limited supply, and. poor quality of available lumber These and many other instances are cited in the re- port which the Forest. Service has pre- pared on the condition of the forestry re- sources of the country in response to a resolution passed by the United States senate.

ADVISES WIDER USE OF ALs1KE

The success of dislike clover as a cover crop last winter in certain sections of New Jersey leads crop specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture to recommend it's wider use this year. Until further experiments have bean made however, they are unwilling to make. any sweeping" claims for it as a competitor of crimson clover. The sue cess met with in New Jersey, they say. well warrants them in advising farmers to do little experimenting for them selves.
 It is doubtful. the specialists say, that it would be safe to sow alsike clover as late as the 18th of August in sections north of Pennsylvania, Illinois and In diana. The young plants would probably not make enough growth to enable them to live through the winter, although al sike clover itself. when well established, is perfectly hardy as far as the extreme northern boundaries of the United. States and in Canada. Alsfke clover should, however. do well SC VII early in August in the states along the Atlantic seaboard

FARMERS FIND COW TESTING FAY

 Coos County, N. H., has a very suc- cessful cow-testing association. A re- port from that district regarding the dol lars-and-cents value of the association says: Many times the testers salary is saved each month."
 One farmer in the Coos County asso- citation reports 8 yearly saving of $525 in the feed bills alone. Another with eight COWS claims 8 net gain of S25u a year from the work of the association, and a local cattle dealer says that the tests add $40 per head to thA value of good COWS.
 A farmer near Lancaster offered to sell one of his COWS for s75 before testing her After the test, however, she was not for sale, because during the 10 months she made s19 more net profit than his 12 iowest-producing COWS com bined These and other figures from the Coos County association show that COW testing may be made pay big returns. Its educational value is also great.
 Cow-testing work is growing rapidly, but it still has room for growth. Less than 1 per cent. of all the dairy cows in the United States have been tested for production. Progressive dairymen say that there should now be at least many times that many cows on test.
