Oct. 3 The London press is becoming strongly critical of the government. Semi-official explanations that the British cannot nr nnr..tinnod bv tho N'orthcliff.? newspaper. The Daily Express and others, which point out that th.? Germans are able to for raiding England spare aircratt and have en- ough along the battle lines to give the British a continuing fight for su premacy in the air. It is argued that the Germans ev idently have outbuilt the British in aircraft and may be expected to con tinue building on an increased scale and improve the types of their ma chines while the British are trying to catch up with them. Predictions that this would be the case were made months ago by name of the newspapers and by experts like Lord Montague of Buleuie. Lord Montagu also predicts that the Ger mans will soon pass the experimen tal stage of operations and be able to attack London in all kinds of weather, nearly every night. The Evening Standard states "on the highest authority" that the gov. trnmcnt is paying special attention to reprisal.; for German air attacks on London and other says: places, It "iher.- is no qualification about the decision of the government to undertake very effective reprisals at the earliest moment consistent with the advice of the high military com mand." The Wilhelmshaven Tageblaa pub lishes two pages of advice warning the people against possible air raids by the tntente aviators. Dispatches from Holland forward ed by frontier crrespomkn.t. say that the allied airmen are playing havoc with the German railway com munications and military establish ments in Belgium. nr Sunday night, according to The Telegraaf, railway communica tion with Ghent was interrupted. Another correspondent says that a bridge was destroyed just before tho arrival of a military train, the en gine of which fell through the op ening detailing severe! cars, which were then bombed.

LONDON PAPERS REV UT10NIZES CREJP FEEDS FOR LIVE A bunch of hogs Just finishing a enough to provide feed for their hogs combe Branch Experiment Station). By DAN T. GRAY. Chief. Animal Industry Division, Fanners who have made proper use of our Southern cheap feeds for live stock will probably accept the title of ,m n.rMrlo In the same way that the man who visited the menagerie lor the first tlrao accepted the reality of tho giraffe. After examining the riralTo from tho front, side and rear, and taking into consideration nis iuhk T'eek and general ungainliness. no said that he had always believed that there was "no such animal" and he was now. aiui tcHiS convinced tnat mere was nw kv:i thing. In like, manner larmers wno have never made use of our really cheap feeds are apt to say. at the nrosent time, -without an investiga- V tiollj that -there is no such thing." Tho (i0Ui,tinR farmer, however, a well as the visitor to the monagerl is mistaken, because there are chea as enagerie. cheap live stock feeds even at the present time, but tL"y are not found among purchased grains or by-products. There are two classes of cheap feeds to be secured for tho coming winter Fllago and pastures, especially the latter. All kinds of live stock make use of pastures if the opportunity is offered. Some kinds of live stock make use of silage. The live stock farmer expects to avoid an expensive winter's feed bill must supply either silage or pasture or both. If these two feeds are to be provided the pre liminary work must be done in September. There is plenty of evidence at hand to show that our farmers are awake to the fact tfhat these two feeds are our cheapest ones. During June, July, August, and September hundreds of fllos were built In the ftate. During ! August, September and October these silos will be filled with various kinds of silage crops and during thi3 same time thousands or grazing crops auiu- able for fall, winter, and spring graz ing will he sown. The majority of farmers who keep beef cattle and dairy cattle should certainly provide a silo and all of them should provide some kind of fall, winter, and spring grazing. Var ious kinds of crops may be used for rrazine nurnoses. In the first place, many of our farmers have failed to appreciate tho value of the old corn and cotton fields, and these we have with us always. As a result of this neglect vast quantities of roughage are wasted each year which should be turned into moat and milk. The good farmer allows none of these cheap feeds to go to waste. "We should not only not allow the feeds usually pro duced to go to waste, but Just now an effort should be made to create new feeds by putting many of our idle acres to work. Under tho direction of Mr. R. S. Curtis, of tho Animal Industry Divis ion of the N. C. Agricultural Experi ment Station, experiments have been under way for several years to deter mine the value of permanent winter pastures in the western part of the state. The work has been done in co-operation with Mr. T. L. Gwyn of Haywood County, a prominent beef cattle raiser of that section. Those who know the agricultural conditions of the western part of the state know that ono of the greatest problems is to develop a system of farming which will employ some of the land3 lying Idle at the present time. In these experiments the beef cat tle carried through the winter upon various rations and an accurate ac count kept of the amounts and costs of feeds of each winter together with the gains made by the stockers. One carload of stockero each winter waa fed upon ear corn, corn stover, hay and straw. A second lot was fed upon corn silage, corn stover, hay and straw. A third car of stockers was fed during tho wlntor months upon corn silage, corn stover, hay and straw, while a fourth lot was given no feed at all except that obtained from the winter pasture. Mr. Gwyn made these winter pas tures by first clearing the mountain sides of the trees. A contract was made with the mountaineers giving them the free use of tho land for two years if they would deaden all of the large trees, clear out the small brush, and put the land In cultivation, plant ing corn each year. The second year at the last cultivation of the corn a mixture of 15 pounds of orchard grass, 4 pounds of blue grass, and 7 pounds of timothy and clover were seeded broadcast through the corn. The grass was permitted to grow through the following summer without being grazed. It, of course, grew up and foil over Urns protecting the roots during the cold months.

Eastbound STOCK DURING WINTER field of soybeans. Many farmers plant long into the winter months. (Edge- the early winter and spring months furnishing considerable green feed along with the cured grass. During the cold months the fourth lot of cattle was permitted to run upon this left over summer pasture receiving no feed in addition to the pasture except a few days when everything waa deeply covered with snow. Mr. Gwyn has done, in making pas tures, upon his farm what thousands of others can do upon theirs and ob tain equally satisfactory results. In tho experiments referred to it was found that the stockers grazing upon the winter pasture did much bet ter and were wintered much more economically than those kept around the barn and fed upon dry feeds. The stockers which ate nothing but winter pasture gained, during the winter, from 17 to 26 pounds each. The stock ers which were fed upon ear corn, corn silage and other stored feeds all lost in weight. On the average it cost about $10.00 to feed each one of the dry-fed steers through the winter months but the expense of getting the pasture-fed steers through the same length of time was just half as much, even when each steer was charged $1.00 a month rent for pasture. Farmers raising hogs and poultry should, by all means, during August and September, take steps toward providing cheap feeds for the winter. The only available cheap feeds, as far as hogs and poultry are concerned, are pastures. Corn, wheat, oats and other grain feeds and by-products are nil unusually expensive unless fed in conjunction with pastures. Many tem porary pastures are suitable for both hogs and poultry. An acre of good land planted In rape affords grazing for five or six 100-pound fattening pigs throughout the winter- provided a half ration of grain Is employed as a supplement. Or, one acre of good rape should make from 300 to 500 pounds of pork. An acre of rye, oats, barley or wheat will usually do jusl about half as well but in addition will yield a partial crop after the hogs are removed. The value of pastures and range conditions was emphasized again in some poultry experiments conducted at the Pender Test Farm during 1916. One lot of Buff Plymouth Rock hena was given the range of the farm where many green cropa wore available the year around. A second lot of hena was confined in a dry lot and fed upon dry and other high-priced feeds exclu sively. During the year the range lot of hens produced 2651 eggs while the hens in the dry lot produoed onlF 314 eggs, although, they were fed about as well as could be expected under dry-lot conditions. The hens in the two lots were fed exactly the same feeds except those in the range lot had the freedom of the farm and ob tained green feed, bugs, and worms, The range lot of hens returned a clear profit of $41.02, while the flock of 32 heas in the dry lot suffered a total loss of $33.66. TEN POULTRY CLUB HINTS THAT STAND FOR SUCCESS CLUB MEMBERS WHO FOLLOW CLOSELY THESE TEN RULES SHOW GOOD REPORT8. 1. Dust your, hens juBt before set ting and three days before they hatch 2. Do not feed chicks until they are forty-eight hours old. 3. The first food for chicks should be grit or sand; this will start their grinding mill. 4. Later on, feed hard-boiled eggs and oatmeal, mixed together, or well baked Johnnie cake or cornbread for the first week. 5. Then feed a mixture of two parts of cracked wheat, two parts of oat flakes, and two parts of cracked corn, or a good commercial chick feed. 8. Keep clean water or milk before the chicks at all times. 7. Clean the brood coops once a week and examine the chicks careful' ly for lie. 8. Give the chicks the best of eare and keep them growing. 9. Hatch early, remembering "that the early bird gets the worm." 10. Under no circumstances sell the early pullets; get rid of the early cockerels. Agricultural Extension Serviotfc Raleigh, N. C.
