There are certain public speak- ers who delight in telling 11s that e American farmer is a soil th robber, that . be does not try to conserve the fertility of the soll, but after all has been said there is no class of people on the face •of the earth who are interested in tilllug the soil that are the su- perior of the men right here in ,this United States, says Klm- ball's Dairy Farmer. Now the American farmer is facing a new situation because of the tremen- dous demand that is to be made upon him in the next few months or years. He will be called upon to feed the nations of the old world,and, while this repreeents a very handsome profit, it repre- sents a moral obligation as well that he will be slow to overlook. Few people are working for their health, yet there are few people who are so,depraved that they will not see the significance of, this wonderful demand that Will be made: The hands that are reaching one from across' the sea begging for food, begging for those things that will keep life in the body and will protect from the cold and the ravages of hanger, will appeal to the best principles of American rural cit- izenship. The whole thing cen- ters around the great brother; hood of man, and, while strife may be keen, while the fight for wealth may occupy much of our time, still underlying it all there is this •higher and nobler impulse which invariablycomes to light when there is s special call made upon it. The optimism .of the American farmer is supreme; it is his' op- timism that makes the American r .test o t its e farmh home the greatest kind. It makes the American farming country the most beau- tiful on earth. 000000 enweentennee ee cents rrOm erten aoiiar expennea ny the consumer," he continued, "while farmers in moat European countries re - 'calve 60 to 65 cents. "In an investigation of groups of farms located in townships in Indiana, Illinois . and Iowa it was found that one farmer out of every twenty-two received a labor income of more then $2,000 a year, one of every three paid for the privilege of,.working--that is, after deducting 5 per cent interest on their investment they lost money by farming." He said similar investigation in New York indicated that one-third of the farmers made less than hired men, one-third about the same as hired men and the rest more. c c c 0 0 0 0 c 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00000000000 0000000 EFFICIENCY IN FARMING. *********ii***ii**i War Review *, * * of the Week * tc****writ*************j HE outstanding sta nding event 4 ant o f the weekfrom a spectacular as well as from a practical , point of view has been.

A. plea for the application of busi- ness efficiency measures to farming was made in an address before the in- ternational dry farming congress held at Wichita, Nan., by Thomas Cooper, director of the South Dakota experi ment station.

The bad impression of the Good Hope -Monmouth disaster has been erased. Interest in land operation remains in the east, where the strategy of the Grand Aske Nicholas is again asserts ing its superiority over that of Gen. Von Hlndenberg. As 11 by a miracle the German army under General Maekenzen escaped the trap which was prepared for it before Lodz, and fighting' desperately so consolidated its position that the Russian field marshal had to give up Lodz in order to strengthen his line. If he • had wished to do so the Grand Duke could easily have crushed the Ger- man advance at Lodz, but only at ths expense of withdrawing from the operations at Cracow. Sines tip re• lief of Cracow was Von Hinders berg's purpose in marching on. Lode the Russian general took his beating like a man, but refused to 'weaken the left wing which is operating at the very door of Silesia. During the past week the Russians have been beset by five German columns, and in every case have they checked or routed their assailants.

The German column pressing on Lowies has been throwing utmost its endeavor into the process, of break- ing the Russian centre, but possesses only slight bodies of reserves, and unless reinforced in a few days must retire. The German column moving south from Mama has met with dis- aster. It attacked vigorously, only to be defeated and driven back to the East Prussian border with heavy losses. The column from Wielunlhas accomplished little, while there is no news of that which has its base at Czenstoehowa. On the western front the allied troops have been prompt to take ad- vantage of the removal of German troops to Poland, and are on a vigor- ous offensive at every point.

Grounding fence wires affords con- siderable protection from lightning and is a worth while investment for farm- ers, according to Frank M.

To secure the best results ground wires ought to be placed about 100 feet apart and closely stapled to the post, so rale form a contact with every one of the fence wires. The ground wires should also extend slightly above the fencepost, and, like a lightning rod, should penetrate the soil far enough to reach moist earth.

[Prepared by United States department of agriculture.] In many localities the need for the preservative treatlhent of farm tim- bers is imperative. Especially 1s the advisability of using creosoted posts indisputable. If it is difficult for a farmer to treat his own material with preservatives, this, can be overcome by some individual undertaking the work for the neighborhood.'' A. small wood preserving plant could be profitably op- erated in connection with a thrashing outfit, a feed "mill or a sawmill. An- other plan is for several farmers to co- operate in establishing and operating a plant. Every agricultural district should possess the facilities for increas- ing by preservative treatment the du- rability of farm timbers locally used. The process best adapted to this pur- pose is the "open tank" process. A simple form of treating plant con- sists of a black iron tank with a fire- box ander it The firebox and bot air chamber are construeted with brick, and a sheet iron collar caps the ma- sonry. The tank is supported by a strong foundation. Such an outfit, with a tank three feet in diameter and four feet high. made of three-elxteenth inch black iron, would probably cost from Many people although they know of nervous prostration do not know what the symptoms are.

After weeks of defensive opera- tions along the Franco -Bel - Bion front, while all Eyes have been' turned towards the Russian campaign in the east, � the moment has arrived for a general advance on Germany. ' After the bat- tle of the Marne, the Germans, foiled in their descent upon Paris, took up their well-prepared lines along the Aisne and commenced their seeming- ly interminable operations to break the allied defence. It became the work of the French and British to engage the Teuton in as, large num- bers as possible, and keep the Kais- er's beet forcesfrom going to the aid of Von Hindenburg in Poland. Then came the defeat of the great German line before Warsaw, and fol- lowing upon that Von Hindenburg's. advance between the Vistula and Warta upon Warsaw. While these momentous battles were in the bal- ance the French and British sat op- posite thelr loos in the western trenches. Presently. the, Vistula -War- ta army came upon partial disaster and reinforcements from the western battlefront were needed to prevent the German legions from being forced back into, German territory. The positions of the eastern and western antes are exactly reversed. Itis now the task of the Russians to occupy the attention of as large a force of Germans as possible, while the French and British expel the weak- ened German army oorpe from France and Belgium.. ' The movement began last week, as soon as Grand Duke Nicholas' victory at Lodz' was secure. On Wednesday the French advanced on. Vermelles in the Argonne and captured it. On the Yser canal the British recorded appreciable gains and .ewe caste o1 a great French army moving into Al - saes. On Thursday the army in Al- eace took two towns and pushed on.. to Muhlhausen. On Friday the allies crossed the Moeelie and took several villages, and made gain in Alsace and in Flinders.

At heavy cost the Germans are making a desperate stand rather than risk the effect upon their people of another retreat from Poland. At Cracow, the Russians are mak- ing gains.

The amount absorbed, by a well seasoned post can. be determined by weighing the post before and after treatment It is not advisable to treat such woods as cedar, locust, white oak and black walnut be- cause they are very hard to treat and are naturally durable, so that treat- ment does not greatly lengthen their life and does not justify the expense. Posts dhould be peeled and seasoned before treatment., Under favorable conditions the average period required to season posts is five weeks, although this varies with the species and the season of the year. The tops of the posts should be beveled, so that, the moisture will run off and not penetrate the post TO USE SURPLUS POTASH, Chemists Report That Crops Are In No Immediate Danger. Because of the action of the Ger- man government in prohibiting the ex- portation of coneentrated potash salts reports have been made indicating that farmers were becoming alarmed over the consequences of a posslble•restric- tion in the supply of commercial fer- tilizers. Manufacturing chemists say, however, that there is no danger of a failure of a reasonable crop produc- tion on this account. One of these chemists bas given his views as follows: Potash is one of the three elects' plant o• most essential. to growth. Pra teeny all soils suitable for farming contain potash in available and also i0 unavailable form. As plant life takes potash only to the extent of its needs, if there is any excess in the soil it will remain until used, as potash. doe) not leach out of the ground. Fortin nately many farmers have been using. potash in increased amounts each year, so that the soil is better sup. plied with available potash than was the case a few yearsago, and there probably remains in the soil a supply which has not been assimilated. The problem of the individual farm. er is, to conserve his potash, which can be done in the following ways Green manuring or turning under a cover crop, dressing heavily with barn- yard manure, balancing chicken ma' nure with nitrate of soda and. acid O. mix i wood ashes t phosphate, saving with nitrate of soda and acid phos- phate and rendering inert soil potash available. Nitrate of soda will do more" than any other agent to render soil potash available. The potash that can be made available in the soil is usually 111 the form of hydrated silicate of potash and alumina.
