The right whig of the German invading army early ini l the great drive attained greater mo-| mentum titan the other section of the front and consetiuenlly obtained an admirable position to strike. Rome, Nov. a —(Special to Daily Democrat) — Increasing GermanAmerican pressure on the left wing of the Italian army, now drawn up along the Tagliamcnto river was announced in today's official statement. ‘“North of Pinzano, the enemy, who succeeded in bringing forces to the right bank, intensified his pressure on our left wing,” the war office stated. The “right bank of the Tagliamento" would appear to be the southern i one—indicating that the Austro-Ger-mans have succeeded in crossing the waterway. Saturday’s Home official statement announced “increasing pressure” on the Italian left wing. BOX CAR BURNS At about eight o’clock last evening the fire department responded to a call in the soutli end of town where a box car in which some of the employees of the Clover Leaf railroad. were housed, was blazing. The tie- ( partment made the run in their usual fast time but was handicapjed in getting the hose from the water plug to the car. They were forced to drag the hose, TOO feet, through a corn field Little damage was done to the heavy timbers of the car. All tin- lighter boarding however, was either burned or charred so badly that it will have removed. Fire Chief Wail

Wemhoff is not yet positive us to the origin of the fire but he is of the opinion that someone wanting to he good to the occupants of the car, who were in Delphos, started the fire in the evening to have the car warm when they returned. Chief Wemhoff bases nis theory on the fact that the door of the car was locked and there was a new fire in the stove. He also declared that the fire from all indications stalled from the inside. REV. MARTIN HAD FINE SERMON A large crowd attended the services at the Methodist church last evening at which time a powerful sermon was delivered by Rev.

It is a large field, we know, and the space we have to use is comparatively small and any suggestions or articles for publication our friends may submit will he greatly appreciated by us. We want you to feel that this is your department and we know that with your practical experience and suggestions we will be able to make it beneficial to every one. Anything that you have found and are willing to publish for the benefit of your brother dairyman we will be pleased to publish. Any points with which we are not familiar in the dairying business or in regard to our creamery we -want you to feel free to inquire about. There are no secrets in the creamery business, at least none in the Martin-Klepper Creamery. You are welcome to go through our plant at any time, there is nothing we forbid you to see. Any person having small, classified ads, for rent, for sale, or wanted, we will be glad to print on this page free of charge.

He need the support of every farmer in the county and in the adjoining county if this page is to be a success. We feel that you will appreciate this effort on our part and (will aid us in every way possible to make this page as educational as possible to everyone. THE MARTIN-KLEPPER CO. W. A. KLEPPER. A COAI’sAVER. Here is a suggestion for saving coal that our readers might try this winter, for unless the state and government officials succeed in providing a sufficient supply, it will be necessary for some of us to economize in fuel or some of us will have to wear extra clothing to keep warm. The recipe is to take one pound of salt and 1 pound of washing soda, dissolve in a quart of boiling water (more water may he used) and pour it over the coal when it arrives, j This it is said will make it last more than twice as long and give out a splendid heat. If slack is so treated j it will be greatly improved.

The dairy industry has been stimulated in Indiana through the cow testing associations and through tlie breeding of cows eligible for advanced registry. All this work tends to locate the bight producing cows and to eliminate the poorer animals. To carry on this work there is needed a great number of young men who can serve as testers for the testing associations and as supervisor* in the advanced registry work. The remuneration is not large But is sufficient to attract high class men and offers opportunity for seif advancement. Purdue University, November 5 to 10, offers a course of study along thin line. Every one interested in this work should make application and prepare to enter for the course. PRICES FOR - THE WEEK Butterfat at our plants 45c Butterfat at our stations 43c Butterfat on routes 42c Butter, wholesale to groceries 45c WHY CREAM SHOULD BE COOLED. At best, cream is several days old before it leaves the farm. During this time it is prone to yield to fermentations injurious to its quality and detrimental to the flavor, keeping quality and market value of the butter, unless these fermentations are checked by prorap and fficient cooling. The benefit of cooling the cream on the farm is not confined alone to the checking of fermentations aud thus preventing its spoiling; cream that is not cooled retains its animal heat which tends to give the butter a stale and smothered flavor, hut the prompt cooling of the cream after it loaves the separator relieves it of this animal heat and thereby improves the palatability and market value of the butter.

The cattle and swine supply approximately 60 per cent of our meat, while we have at least three vegetables a day from the garden in summer. The root vegetables last through the win ter until spring. ljaat winter our children were forced to do without potatoes, as our crop was a failure and ve did not feel justified in buying. The new crop is good and wo are now having potatoes again. ’’The new- dining hall has progress ed rapidly and is now under roof. When it is completed this fall, wo shall have the satisfaction of being, able to meet the requirements of the; state law and to hotter care for the children.

YOUR DAIRY COWS Are Veritable Gold Mines —Government Appeals to Dairymen. The dairy industry in thiw part of the country Is still in its infancy. Those who have tried this angle of the farming Industry can vouch for the profits derived. Dairying takes little time if conducted on the right principles, with a little planning and careful feeding, the cattle farm can be transformed into a veritable gold mine. , There need be little fear that tho price in dairy products will ever fall to any great degree. Fats are the staple foods of all nations and of all people therefore the demand will always be great. Fats are the staple foods for the soldiers aud sailors. Uncle Sam has made a special appeal to producers to put more on the market and for the consumers to be ! more saving in the use of fats of all kinds. This is the farmers' chance to make money and at the same time do their “bit” for the government. FEED LESS GRAIN TO DAIRY COWS. “Economize on grain'' is the slogan of the country. That means less grain for live stock. National necessity requires that human beings be i fed first, and milk production therefore must be maintained, or necessary food will not be available. Substitutes, then, must be used as far as possible In place of grain for dairy cows. Clover, alfalfa, cowpeas, soybean. velvet-bean, or other legume hay, when fed with good silage, will maintain a medium milk production at a relatively low cost. At the Illinois experiment station the milk flow was slightly increas wd when 8 pounds of alfalfa hay war substituted for an equal weight oi concentrates. The Alabama statior increased the net profits by substi tuting cowpea hay for wheat bran When an 11-pound grain ration and 5 pounds of mixed hay were displaced by an equal weight of clover hay, at the New Jersey station, the milk flowfell from 113.8 to 20.1 pounds, but the net profits were increased. In these trials the cows were also fed firstclass corn silage. Under ordinary farm conditions it is not to be expected that legume hay can take the place of the entire grain ration, hut if it is substituted in part, large quantities of grain will be released for human food. — -n . . .— THE WORLD'S WHEAT CROP.
