Only om proclamation of & holy war is it unfurled to the eyes of & reverential multitude of believers, though without being removed. Its staff is closely set with golden nalls and covered with green velvet. The flag of green silk is richly embroidered | in gold with mystic scrolls and texts from the Koran. :According to tradition the silk material originally served as curtain to the tent of Ajsha, Mohammed’s favorite wife. Thence it was treasured by the Ommajades in Bagdad, and brought to Cairo by the Abassides. L In the year 1517, when Sultan Selim I conquered Egypt, he transferred it to Damascus, where the throngs of plous pilgrims on their way to the sacred shrine could do it homage. Murad 111, invading Hungary, carried it in the midst of his army to inspire: courage. The mosque of the seraglio became its depository in 1595, in charge of Shelk ul Isam, the religious head of Mohammedanism. It was last unrolled in 1826, when Sultan Mahmud planned the destruction of the Janissaries. Nelither the Russo-Turkish nor the Balkan wars of recent years gave cause sufficient to the Moslem church elders to assume the responsibility of proclaiming a “holy war.” Its unfurling arouses the fanaticism of all believers to frenzy. Every Moslem then must fight—fight ; a outrance. ~ Young er old, well er ill, rich or _poor, married or single, busy or idle, ' you must obey the call.

No other consideration holds. It means a life-and-death struggle engaged in by nearly 200,000,000 men throughout Asia, Africa, even in Europe. WHEN THE RANGE IS FOUND Correspondent Writes of the Effect of Shell Fire on the Ranks of : the Enemy. : . Crash! a roar from out of the rumble, a puff of white smoke and a rain of lead on the very men I had been watching! The Germans had found the range exactly, but the distance was too great for me to distinguish what execution they were doing among those stirred ranks. Then came a long siren whistle screeching through the air from .the distance. Again a twinkling flash against the blue, again a puff of rich, fleecy smoke, and another shell had scattered death on the men helplessly waiting below. , Fascinated, we watched those little twinklings of flame and puffs of white smoke. Whence came they, we wonderéd, and by what weird skill were they'made to burst squarely over their intended prey? Was it the science of man or was it, as we half belleved, the cajolery of some demon gloating over the helplessness of his victims? Again the azure was broken by a little white puff—again we wondered—whence? Click — -click—click—click—click—the mirderous machine gun was start. ing its music. What an engine of destruction!

To the hunter of game, both large and small, the Colorado will appear most notable as being the gateway to ‘what is undoubtedly the best easily reached shooting ground in North America, the delta country about the head of the Gulf of California in Mexico. Here, besides a wealth of bird life that is equaled by few regions in the world, are to be found wild pig or javelin, deer, mountain lion, jaguar, wildcat, coyote, antelope and mountain sheep. The delta country, with its hunting, is generally the objective of the Colorado voyageur in any case, -and for one whose time is limited the most expeditious plan will be to outfit at Yuma and float down the river to the end of the gulf from that point. | With plenty of time at one’s disposal, it will be worth while to make the Needles the point of embarkation, as | the stretch between there and Yuma coffers a rare combination of fine. ‘gcenery with safe going that is equaled by few streams in America.—Outing, 1 Soldiers’ Winter Clothing. |: The soldiers of Japan have learned | the value of paper clothing for winter | wear.

GOOD BULL BOOSTS DAIRY PRODUGTION

Offers Economical Way for Dairyman to Increase Income From Cows.

Increasing the milk yleld of cows is one of the surest ways for Increasing dairy herd profits; and the continuous use of a good pure-bred sire has proved to be one of the most practical and most ecgnomlcal ways for increasing herd production, declares the Blue Valley Creamery Institute. Perhaps no better example of the value and influence of better breeding can be cited than the experiment conducted by the lowa experiment station in which a aumber of scrub cows having an average annual production of 4,110 pounds milk and 191 pounds butterfat, were used as the

Larger Yields of Grain and -~ Hoe Crops Planted After It Noted. Alfalfa not only outyields all other farm crops, but is able to make larger yields of grain and hoe crops that are planted after it, states the Blue Valley Creamery Institute. To emphasize this after effect of alfalfa on farm profits the Institute points to the careful trials recently made by the New York State Experiment Station where the superior value of stubble and roots of alfalfa over the residue of timothy hay was strikingly shown in promoting the growth and production of succeeding crops. . ‘Two-year-old fields of alfalfa and timothy, from which hay was removed each year in the usual way, were plowed under and the following year planted to corn. The yield of corn fodder from these plantings was 45 tons per acre on the alfalfa field and 3.2 tons on the timothy field. The second year these same flelds were seeded ta wheat which made an average ylel@ of 51.2 bushels per acre in the fleld formerly occupied by alfalfa and an average of 36.1 bushels in the R e U Y P YWY T et i G p e 5 e gme -

No branch of agriculture has shown steadiér,. mation-wide profits than dairying, sreports the Blue Valley Creamery Jostitute, and practically every ipdication ;points towards ‘the same . continuous prosperity during 1928, Since the depression, the combined rvelative purchasing power of the butter dollar, the hog dellar and the poultry doilar has usually aver.aged well above pre-war figures. This means that a unit of dairy farm products has had greater purchasing power since the war than the same amount of dairy products had before the - World war. In other words, dairying has been just abeut the most profitable branch of agriculture since the .war and promises to continue so dur/ing 1628, i .

toundation for a dairy herd. ‘Production records of the half purebred daughters of these scrub cows, sired by good dairy bulls of good breeding and type, show that the average yleld was increased to 5,828 pounds milk and 266 pounds butterfat a year, The prenounced Influence | of the pure-bred sire was again brought out in the three-quarter purebred grand-daughters of scrubs, which were daughters also of pure-bred dairy sires. The yearly production of these third generation cows, all daughters of _the half pure breds, was 8.106 pounds .milk and 365 pounds butterfat. The use of a good pure-bred dairy bull in a milking herd is the most practical and most economical way for the average dairyman to increase the production of his cows and the profits from his business. Only comparatively few farmers can afford good purebred herds, for to purchase them Is expensive. However, no farmer, who expects to make a success in the dairy business, can afford to be without the use of a good pure-bred dairy sire, the Institute states.

fleld that was In timothy two years before. Both flelds were seeded to rye the third succeeding year, which resulted in ylelds of 25 bushels an acre from the one that was once an alfaifa meadow, and 22.9 bushels an acre on the other that had been in timothy. The principal reason for thé increased yields of crops following alfalfa and other legumes, which have been Inoculated with certain bacteria, is due to the a'ility of these lants to take nitrogen from the air and incorporate it in its tissues. The grasses, of which timothy is the most widely grown, do not possoos this ability and, Alfalfa Makes Highest .HarYields : and Greatest income in 1926 ;’n’fi’?

This increase has been most, noticeable in areas where better feed-| ing methods have replaced the old, costly method of feeding every cowi alike. Lowered feed cost per 100 pounds of milk produced and in many! instances increased production have followed the Introduction of the sim-| ple plan of welghing out each cow's. daily grain ration and weighing eacii| cow’s daily milk yield in order to feed according to the individual cow’s production. Then, too, balgnced production throughout the year has helped stabilize profits. So have improved sanitation methods, increased production of sweet ct‘ea'!fi,: bemr Miry sires, etc. ; An official report, for example, shows that in 1917, about 36 per cent of the year's butter was produced in the six cold months of the year. Later reports show constapt Increases in winter-time production year after year. The latest report shows 40 per cent production in winter. ‘ ; Cream and butter prices have kept ahead of feed costs and profit marging. In- anesOt:k for example, the governmept report shows that the profit difference between the price of butter on the New ¥ork market and the cost of Peed necessary to produce a pound of butter was 18 cents in 1917 and the latest report sets the same profit difference as 23 cents,
