BRITISH ADVANCE FAR IN FLANDERS Attack on 4-Mile Front Gains More Than a Mile and 400 Prisoners. v London. The British troops west of Armi'iitliirea have advanced their line to a depth of 1000 to 2000 yards on a four mile front between Vleux Heruulu und Ilallleul and also made progress southwest of Marvlllu, according to the official statement. The village of Out terateen aud 400 prisoners were cap lured. Fighting by patrols, during the course of which the Ilrltlsh lines on the Homme front are being pressed forward slightly day by day, con tinues. In addition to continued Intensive bombing and shelling of vital points within thu enemy lines, the British have begun throwing gas projectiles at various places. This harassing appar ently Is serving to lower further the already low German morale. Prisoners say a derision cannot be won on the battlefield, but that peace must be arrived at by negotiation. The "prisoners want the war to end quickly even If peace should have to be a "patched up one." None of them aay Germany can win, but believe she cannot be beaten. They admit the sub marine offensive since the early spring hus been a fullure and say the tide definitely turned against the Germans when they retreated toward the A In lie, OVER 3 MILLION MEN UNDER ARMS Washington. Of more than 3.000,009 men now under arms, the United States has sent nearly one-half, or more than 1,450,000, overseas for serv ice agulnst the enemy In France, Italy and Siberia. These figures were given by General March In his Suturday talks with newspaper men and members of the senate military committee. The senators were told that some transports are making the trip to Eu rope aud back In 19 days, and that the average has been reduced to 28 days, which with additional shipping becoming available makes the great job of getting 80 divisions of American troops to France by June 30, 1819, cer tain of success. . General March renewed his state ment made to the senate military af fairs committee that there will be at least 80 American divisions or 8,600, 000 men of all arms and capacities un der a united command on the western front by June 30, 1919. Of actual com batants be said there will be on the firing line, or In touch with It, at least 2,200,000 American troops. General March Informed the com mittee that In the recent Pleardy of fensive the allies have regained ap proximately one-third of the territory the Germans took In their March drive, together with approximately 40,000 prisoners. He said the allies succeeded In kill ing a large number of Germans and capturing much ordnance, which Is regarded as a most telling victory at this time. ... . . U. S.

Mexico Yields; Crisis Averted. Washington. The threatened crisis in tha relations of Mexico with the entente alllej and the United States apparently has been averted by a1 modification of the new Mexican oil tax decree by President Carransa. Healthy and Vigorous Porkers. I way of producing pork. A sow when she Is not developing a litter or nurs ing pigs, can In summer time be placed In a pasture and given very little grain. In winter, possibly tha chcupeat timliitemiuce ration In a com bination of gruln and buy, such as corn, wheat, rye or hurley, and alfulfa, clover, cowpeas or soy bean hny. Tha grain should be limited to one or two pounds per hundred pounds live weight per day, Hows should be given all the hay they will clean up. MARKETING OF BR00O SOWS Good Animals Sometimes Sacrificed When Little Forethought Would Cause Retention. At this time the tnrketlng of. a sow that can be or hus been bred Is fiilrly rmiipiirulile to "killing the goose tliht In 1(1 the golden etx" Although the fecundity Vf swine Is well appre ciated by farmers, at times sows are j sacrificed when a little forethought would muse them to be retained. Breeding sows multiply five or six times as rapidly as other meat ani mals. They have an average litter of ffve or nix pigs and may be bred twice a year, although three, times In two years accords more with current farm practice. The litters Increase in size, on the average, until sows are five or six years old. However, a large pro portion of the sows are sold after pro ducing one or two litters and before they have reached the period of great est productivity. VALUE OF SILAGE FOR SHEEP Reduces Cost of Railing Animal and 4 Supplies 8ucculence, Palatabllity and Variety. The addition of slluge to rations for all clnyes of sheep rtnlucea their cost and supilles succulence, pulatuhlllty and variety. Likewise, rotten, moldy, sour of" frozen silage should not be used. Pregnant ewes should receive from three to four pounds per head dally during the winter. Tills should be supplemented with two or three ounces per head dully of cottonseed cuke and some hay. After the lambs are born silage increases the milk flow of the ewes. In the futtenlng of lumlis and yearlings for market the cheapest gains have usually been made when silage constituted a part of the ration. Rums winter well on silage as a part of their feed. HIGH QUALITY ALFALFA HAY Very Necessary to Lower Cost of Car. rylng Brood 8ow Through Winter; Feed In Rack. Alfalfa bay of a high quality, which may be supplied In a rack, for brood sows Is very necessary to lower the cost of carrying her through the win ter. In the alfalfa hay we not only get a large amount of calcium which Is so essential and which Is deficient In wheat, bran, shorts and barley, but we get a large amount of protein of the right kind. She must not be ex pected, however, to live on alfulfa alone, aa that Is too bulky. It should be supplemented with a small allow ance of concentrates dully. This may be In the form of barley, wheat, shorts, etc., or better thun those alone Is a mixture of barley and shorts, for instance In equal parts. w. a. a. T FOR MONTH OF JULY The month of July saw the success ful completion of several lines of work and the satisfactory progress of many other Important projects un dertaken. Farmers were assisted in securing hands during harvest, and suftclent labor was had for all farm ing operations. Practically all farmers agree that It Is best to feed the hay on the ranch es whenever possible, and to that end several hundred tons of hay were purchased for sheepmen. This will bring a great many sheep to this sect Ion for the winter. The alfalfa crop In this section was the best in years and there was a great deal of hay for sale. The drouth on the High Desert re sulted In many of the homesteaders having to appeal for help. Most of these farmers want hay and pasture for their stock and no doubt will ev entually buy. Arangements are be ing made for these farmers. w. a. a. Frank Foster and famil left on Tuesday for their ranch on tbe Des chutes. 8. p. POST ITEMS (By our Regular Correspondent) C. H.
