"The sector remains normal. Our

The nation was thrilled by word
that American troops at last were face

VALUABLE HINTS FOR DAIRY
Overfeeding Causss More Trouble
Than Underfeeding—Make Change
«a Skim Milk Oradsal.
(By H. H. KILDBR, University Farm, St.
Paul.)
In rtaring and developing dairy
heifers:
Don't overfeed. Twice as many
calves are stunted by overfeeding as
by underfeeding.
Don't change suddenly from whole
to skim mfik.
Don't keep calves. In damp, dark,
crowded, poorly ventilated barns.
Don't feed milk In dirty palls.
Don't be Irregular as to time of feed
ing, temperature or amount of milk.
Don't feed too much alfalfa hay be
fore the calf is three months old.
Don't let calves suck each other
after drinking milk. They should be
placed in stanchlona and fed grain.
Don't make calf go without water
because It has had milk.
Don't let calf drink foaming milk
Just from the sepsrstor.
MILKROOM IS A NECESSITY
Particularly Desirable In Wsrm
Weather and Should Be Screened
snd Kept Clean.
A ml Ik room is s necessity in dairy
ing according to W. E. Tomson, In
structor in dairy husbandry In the
Kaasas State Agricultural college.
A mllkroom is needed st all times,
but Is particularly Important In warm
weather, pointed eut Mr. Tomson. Milk
must be kept sway from files. The
room should be tltfitly screened and
kept la a sanitary condition.
The sstlkroom affords good facilities
for keeping the milk cool. This Is es
seatlal because when ths temperature
ef the milk Is higher than D degrees
undeslrabls bacteria that cause the
mtlk to spoil ID a short time are likely
to develop.
GOOD TREATMENT FOR COLIC
Dlserdsr Is Weeult of Feeding Mstsrials
Net Adapted to Stomach of
Young Anlmsls.
Colic In calves is the mult of feed
ing msterlals not sdspted to the un
developed stomach of the young ani
mal, or the feeding of the regular ra
tion at snnsual hours or In unusual
amounts. The calf usually suffers vio
lent abdomlnsl pains, Indicated by sn
unusual activity of tbo animal, fre
quent and continuous kicking, and,
finally, .complete prostration. Unless
relieved within a short time, death
useally follows. A standard treatment
Is to drench the calf st Intervals of
two hours with a mixture containing
s tesspoonful of turpentine snd S
tsblespoonful of raw linseed oil.
GIVE RIGHT AMOUNT OF FEED
Careful Fesders Study Indlvldusl Ani

Many careful feeders have their

polats, the Vaurains farm, which Is
more than a quarter of kilometer be

Several squadrons of tanks partici
pated In the' battle and did excellent
work In company with the advancing
Infantry. It was by mseaa of theae
most modern war lmplementa that the
Fllaln farm was captured.
"Most of the prisoners taken, who
up to night numbered approximately
S.OOO, while othera were still pouring
out of the deep caverns, were caught
In quarries. Ons group, composed of
400 men, waa led out to aurrender by
a German soldier who spoke French

Another batch of prisoners fell Into
the handa of the French Just as they
alighted from motor trucka In which
they had been hurried to the battle
field as reinforcements.
The losses of the Oermana were ex
tremely heavy as was testified to by
the heaps of dead found beneath the
ruins of quarries, which crumbled un
der the French bombardment. The
French casualties were rather below

COAL PRICES TO QET
GENERAL INVESTIGATION
Instructions Hsvs Been Sent ta

Washington—A general Investiga

prices of coal throughout the country
appears to be In prospect.
In a minor way. Investigation of
prices consumers assert they have
been compelled to pay already haa
been started by the department of
justice In various sections of the eaat

and bituminous coal.
Instructions have been sent to
United States attorneys conducting the
lbcal Investigations to summon wit
nesses, determine the truth of the
chrages and, where pus tiled ,to bring
promptly proceedings undsr the crim
inal law against those believed to be
guilty. The ftsult of ths enquiries so
far has not been asported.
These Instructions were based upoa
complaints received by the department
here to the effect that the margia of
profit allowed dealers by the govern
ment had bee aexceeded.
Measured by the great volume of
complaints receved by the fuel ad
ministration, the Instances undsr la

Hundreds of letters and telegram*
from every section of ths country, it
