This is the tetal list of those Jailed in action or who have died from woueds suetained ini action. Twice this number have been wounded., The Agues snow clearlY that the Canadian division is doing its share and contributine its quota to the cause of the Empire. The heavy casualty lists from the Canadian forces arriving these days wth an uuerring continuity show that our troops are in the thick of the fighting. The growing net or dead and wounded indicates its ter- rific character. A despatch from London says that eiglet more Canadians have reached Queen's Canadian Hospital at Store - entre, bringing the total number of patients since the institution opened to over two hundred. Only one,Maj. Higinbothain; han died. ' • From what these patients say it is evident the greater portion,. of the Canadians wera held as reserves' in the recent costly operations. Their duty was to engage the German re- serves if the latter were brought up, but as things turied out the Germans melted away before the British artil- lery's attack. Nevertheless the Cana- dians in reserve ha/ nearly fifty of their number laid aside. The following casualties among raembers of the Canadian Expedition- ary Force were announced from head- quarters this morning: Princess Patricias --- Died of Wounds, Pte. Wm. Thorburn.

PARIS, March 22.—An eye -wit- ness of the flight of the Zeppelin over St. Leu Taveranis, towards Paris Sunday morning, declares that one of the airships suddenly made a dive toward the earth and expresses the belief that it had been hit by a fragment of shell. This man saw the first Zeppelin at 1.35 o'clock, clearly outlined in the rays of a searchlight, flying at a height estimated at 2,500 yards. The forts at Cormeillis opened a heavy fire, but the shells burst too low and the aircraft rose to a higher altitude and escaped from the light of the searchlight reflectors. Forty-five minutes later the man saw another Zetiptelin, and at the saline time the cannonading was re- sumed. The shells, according to the eye- witness, began to burst nearer and nearer the huge envelope and 'finally the aircraft began to descend rapidly. Several times it endeavored to at- tain a higher altitude but was unable to do so, and made off eventually at reduced speed. Defence Law In Force. ROME, Manch 23.—The King has signed the decree promulgatiug the national defence law, which became operative at once. The Government is empowered by the new law to pro- hibit the publication of news regard- ing the strength of the army, war preparation e and military defences of the country. This prohibition will be strictly enforced, and the concentra- tion of troops, the calling out of ad- ditional reserves and eventually the mobilization will be kept a secret. Parliament has adjourned until the middle of May, and the Govern- ment will be free to attend to the final preparations, Another British Ship Sunk.

All plants must have the proper amount of each of the food elements in order to attain their maximum productivity. If one element be deficient, no matter how abundant- ly the other elements may be relatesented, the plant will be limited in it development M proportion to the de- ficiency of this element, other things being equal. A ton of average farm manure contains about ten pounds of nitrogen, five pounds of phosphoric acid and ten pounds of potash. It in plain, therefore, that manure is lack- ing in phosphorus. What is still more significant, the soils of. Indiana (day and loam) are also generally low in this element. Growers, then, who; have enriched their lands with manure( with results not up to their expecta- tions should apply 200 to GOO pounds of acid phosphate per acre in coniene4 tion with the manure. What to Feed at Calving 'Time. • Cows that are due to freshen this spring should be given from six to eight weeks of rest before calving. It is quite inaportant that n cow be given a rest at tbis time, especially so if she has not been well fed during the win- ter. Some dairymen neglect to keep their cows in good condition during the winter, and as a result the calves are not in the best of condition at birth, and the cows do not gire as large a milk now as they would give had they been properly fed. Silage is an excellent feed to be given a cow during the resting period. Along with silage should be fed some feeds rich M protein, such as alfalfa or clever hay, with a small amount of grain. The cow needs the protein to help build up the body of the calf, as well as to keep her own body itt good condition. A succulent feed like silage will aid in keeping the cow in better condition. Silage in itself is not a very, substantial feed, but when fed with a little grain and alfalfa or clover hay, makes a most excellent part of a ra- tion.—J. M.
