held only by splendid and QjjUlnuous
acts of courage.
| "The Germane were intrenched leas
than a hundred yards away and had
plenty of cover behind them, while the
English had only saved themselves
from annihilation by digging them
selves In. They were holding a steep
upward slope with their rifle trenches
near the top of the steepest part. The
ground that lay between them and the
Germans sloped more gradually, but
gave the Germans the advantage of

Finally Gets Into Trenches.
"It was only by a series of accidental
circumstances that I was able to get
so close. For two weeks I had been
trying to get Into the firing Ihse with
out getting closer than within four or
Ave miles of It
"During this period 1 had frequently
been under cannon lire and watched
both French and English gunners at
work, but had not been able to slip
up close enough to see the men In the
trenches. This time I tried a part of
the line not previously attempted. The
nearer I got to the actual battle the
less dimculty I seemed to encounter.
Finally, turning oB a narrow lane, I
waa allowed to cut across an open Bold
to what looked th the distance like a
rabbit warren. It proved to be one of
the dugout shelters with which the
English soldiers have protected them
"There was something almost quaint
about the spectacle as 1 approached. It
was late afternoon and quite ?till.
Even the cannonading had ceased. I
walked aeroee the Held without even
drawing a rifle shot If I had known I

EXPERIMENTING WITH FEED FOR MULES
;, ,r - k \ > 1
Span of Flno Mlaoourl Muleo.
-(By B. A. TKOBRIDOE )
With the tendency toward tncreaeed
prices on alt kind* of feed* and with
the increased attention to the bualneea
?id# of farming, the economical main
tenance of mature work mules has
become an important problem on
many farm* in the state where mules
are used. -It has been the custom to
maintain mules on various rations,
consisting of oats, corn, timothy hay
and perhaps some other common
feed stuffs. These hare been fed in
varying quantities and combinations.
Corn has been used extensively. as a
grain ration. Many students of ani
mal nutrition have given the matter
consideration and have recommended
a less extensive use of corn and an
addition of an increased portion of
oats and other feedstuifs.
It has been a prevalent opinion
that oats is a better feed than corn
for horses and mules. Various argu
ments have been preeented as proof
of this statement, yet the fact re
mains that corn constitutes a great
portion of the feed given to mature
work animals. The protein content
of oats and the mineral content to
gether with the physical condition of
the oats as a feed havp all been cited
as reasons for the efflctency of oats.
It has been suggested that a mixture
of oats and corn for work sanies would
be a more satisfactory ration than
either oats or corn alone. - To deter
mine these points experiments cover
ing a period of two years ware made
at the Missouri station. It was the
plan of the experiment to feed' two
lots of mules?the grain ration re
calved by one being oeta while corn
?lone should be given to the other.
The roughage ooneleted of mixed
clover end timothy hey. By thle meth
od. dete has been collected which
makes possible the following compari
son of the two rations tor moles,:
Males receiving corn and bay main
tained good health and appetites as
did the mules fed oats and hay. :
The males which received eon and
mixed hay maintained their weight
slightly better than did those fed oats
and mixed hay.
The mules receiving corn and hay
endured bard work In hot weather
as well as did those getting oats and
hay.
No difference In spirit could be de
tected in (be different lots of males.
Mature mules required three per
cent more grain aad one and four
l en the more hay to approximately
maintain live wi Ifht when fed oats
and mixed hay than when fed corn
and mixed hay.
The ntalee receiving oora and
mixed hay did six par eent more work
when the number of hoars is sued as a
basis, than did the mules which rm
calved oats and hay.
No abnormal effect could be no
tlced In any of the males receiving
either ration.
The mature mules In the two-rear
test were maintained 28 per coat more
economically on a ration of oora aad
mixed timothy hay than on one con
sisting of oats and mixed etorer and
tlteothy hay when corn Is valued at
SO cents per bushel, oats at 40 cents
per bushel and hay at 110 per torn

takes in the rsrj act of trespassing,
those who are tSught and governed by
the'Holy Spirit (see chapter t:16-2()
are to prove to the world by thetr
conduct that they are thus taught and
governed. ,They are to "restore such '
an one." considering at the same time
themselves lest they, too, stumble. To
restore Is to replace, "to reduce a frac
