ED OM BAHRTZYDE.
An 'Expedition to the Front.
The morning the French troops
secured their fust permanent foot-
hold in Lombaertzycle, on 'the Bel-
gian tha•st, the interning the slow
eastward movemeet of the Allies
across the low countries began,
Pierre, "The Coseack," •end I
drove in an open Flemish cart
through the lines of French tenet
Belgian trendies on the Yser, and,
before we knew it, were within a
few yards of the German outposts.
The Cossack was a ,tha,rpshooter
and et scout, and, though. a call:
neIleQr by enlistment, he always
went out along the enemy's lines
&one wed -came back with accurate
information of the enemy's move-
ments,
The Toad hetw,eerr La. Paine and
Coxyde was full of people going
both ways. Pierre, offered a Tide
to three women, the eldeet at least
fifty, but with eheeks as hard and
red es apples. They laughed and
joked with Pierre and paid no more
attention to the bursting ehells to-
wards which we. were driving then
to the -cutting ioe blowing into
their faces. They had arrived at
the point of view of soldiers toward
shell -fire : There is no use paying
any atteetion to it. The shells you
hear do you no harm. If you ere
killed by ono you never know it.
Directly ahead of us, a•s we pass-
ed through. Coxyde's mud -splashed
buildings into the road beyond,
swimming with dirty slush, lay
Oost-Duakerke, mid the area un-
der fire. The country w.as open
except for the bare clusters of
buildinie 'and the scrub brush in
the dunes, but, scattered through
the eourntry over which we were
pessing, there were whole batteries
of French guns, mostly General
joffre's ' favorite "seventy -fives.''
We could hear their Sharp "ping"
•all about no, but we knew no, more
of their whereabeuts than did the
German aviators who passed
through is bombardment of shrap-
nel every day trying to locate them.
I am running no clanger of giving
away a militery secret in saying
they were buried and the only way
the German shells ,coeld reach them
was to drop directly -an thean. The
-chances of their doing this were not
much better than those of an ex-
pert golf player dropping the ball
direetly into the hole with it drive
from the tee. Even the numerous
and each year marketing the co.ek-
erels of the hatch as broilers.
Others combine egg farming with
meat growing -selling the eggs at
a season of the year when they
bring the highest prices, and turn-
ing them introtable poultry ;when
the price falls below a certain fig -
The ,sale •of eggs for hatching and
fowls for breeding is very profitable
but it ealls for expert service. Be-
ginners are a•dvised to keep away
from thae end of the businees un-
til they have had a general experi-
ence of at least three years.
The se -lection of breeds is a mat-
ter that must he governed lby the
object, in view. If it is intended to
have ,an exclusive egg farm, the
shipments 'te be made to a, market
that prefers 'white eggs, then such
breeds as the Leghorns, Minorcas,
or any of the white egg -layers
should he chosen.
Where it is intended to eniabine
eggs, broilers and roasters, such
breeds as the American class should
be kept, with possibly a white -egg
breed if there is acaIl for white
egg's in the market, ,
The matter of location is worthy
of consideration. One hundred
miles from a ,city like Toronto , is
not too Ear, providing 'there are
good shipping facilities. Private
family trade is 'very profitable, but
it may take some time to build up
a good retail eustom. The m.anket

walls were, at points, almost out

narrow are, making the street ini-
paesable. It had not taken any
French lives, but had prevented,

was loathed by a squad from be-

from biting seen. As soon as they
foried their way through the ini-
peovised barricades at windows and
doors, they threw a light in each
room with a hand searehlighte and
killed every one they ,encountered.
Unlees a man had hie lomat in the

worked their way ta a booth less
than fifty feet from the maehine-
gun, and on the street behind held
the house in 1 -he rear of it. They
were waiting foe night bo Make the
final dash and ,eleer out that end of
the town.
We were standing on the narrow
sidewalk talking and Pierre had
walked' nearly to the turn in the
street. Suddenly he waved to us
eagerly, his faceWitk

he eaid, "I hear some voices in the,
W'll either get a drink

Without stopping to see if we,
were followed, he pushed open the
door and plunged down a flight of
stales to the left. Before, we could
get past the door 'We COUICF hear
him houting menacingly and loud

was ,shouting in Flemish, and the
answering cries were 151 German.
At the top of the stairs he had cn-
„countered three German .soldiers

bine covering the three, he was
bullying them into throwing down
their arms by bawling into their
faces.

they were trapped and preferred
to ',surrender. :Gilt the Cossack was
enjoying himself making threats.
As for as I could make out, he was
promising to shoot them out of,
hand, and I was afraid he meant
it. Finally he agreed he would let
them, go if Witty had any children.
The first two cried loudly they had
three apiece. The third said he
had two, and produced a photo-
graph to prove it. So Pierre agreed
to let them live for the sake of
their children.
We found one street by which we
could get to the centre of Nieuport,
and theye en•eounteTed some of the
mechanics attached to the English

me into a tower where, they said,
we could see the effect of the can -

Stumbling up a eircular stair-
case in ,a, tower which, I fancy, had
been nearly dark inside before the
Guinan shells let in daylight, we
came out on a parapet from which
we could

Between Ooth-Dankerke and. Nieu-

French guns were thicker here. The
Germans, knowing this, were giving
it the most severe shelling, In
every shelled wee, in which I had
been before it was possible to pick
a comparatively safe course by
watching the exploding thells aad
seeing whether they were breaking
arny nearer. Here they were drop-
ped here rand there, as if by the
caprice Of the gunners, and you
were about, as unsafe in one plate
as 'another. When I ,expeessed my
apprehensions Pierre replied,. "Ne-

Ab a tuTe in the muddy road we
came upon a ene-roomed Flemish
