It whs dark as pitch and I was groping through the underbrush, when sudden ly I stopped Into space and felt myself rushing downward, a horrible bump, and blackness.

After two hours I heard two men talking ln low voices. I recognized Corporal Cook, an ardent "night raid er." He heard my "siss-s-s-s" and came to the edge of the hole. I ex- ! plained my predicament and amid a lot ! of Impertinent remarks, which at the , time I did not resent, I was soon fished ! out i Taking off our boots, we sneaked Into ! the ward. I was sitting on my bed In the dark. Just starting to undress, when the man next to me. "Ginger" rhillips. whispered. 'Op it, lank, 'ere comes the matron." I Immediately got under the covers and feigned sleep. The matron stood j talking ln low tones to the night nurse , and I fell asleep. When I awoke ln the monitng the 1 night sister, an American, was bending , over me. An awful sight met my eyes. The coverlet on the bed and the sheets were a mass of mud and green slime. She was a good sport all right and hustled to get clean clothes and sheets so that no one would get wise, but "on her own" she gave me a good tongue lashing but did not report me. One of the Canadians in the ward described her as being "a Jake of a good fel low." Next visiting day I had an awful time explaining to my visitor why I had not met her at the appointed time and place. And for a week every time I passed a patient he would call, "Well, well, ! hnlvi'B V. " TT . . i uri9 inn, nope you are xeei lng well, old top."

The wound In my face had utmost healed and I was a horrible-looking sight the left cheek twisted Into a knot, the eye pulled down, and my mouth pointing In a north by north west direction.

From now on that doctor can have my shirt More than once some poor soldier has h.n hm.-ht int tv. m in . lace in the ward. Whenever bone Is needed for some special operation, there are always men willing to give some a leg If necessary to save some mangled mate from being crippled for life. More than one man will go through life with another man's blood running through his veins, or a piece of his rib or his shinbone in his own anatomy. Some times he never even knows the name of his benefactor. The spirit of .sacrifice Is wonderful r'M ' Nil - V i (r j I V.;.. . : j ' : ' I or an tne lurtering caused mis war ! a blessing to England It has made new men of her sons ; has welded all classes Into one glorious whole. And I can't help saying that the doc tors, sisters, and nurses In the Kngllsli Hospitals, are angels on earth. I love thetn all and can never repay the care and kindness shown to me. For the rest of my life tha Ited Cross will be to me the symbol of Kalth, Hope and Charity. After four months In the hospital, I went before an examining board and wus discharged from the service of his Itrltatinlc majesty as "physically unlit for further war service." After my discharge I engaged pass age on the American liner New York, and after a stormy trip across the At lantic one momentous day. In the base of early dawn. I saw the statue of lib erty looming over the port rail, and I wondered If ever again I would go "over the top with the best of luck and give them hell." And even then, though It may seem strange, I was really sorry not to be back lu the trenches with my mutes. War Is not a pink tea. but In a worth while cause like ours, mud, rats, coo ties, shells, wounds, or death Itself, are far outweighed by the doen sense of satisfaction felt by the man who does ms hit There Is one thing which my ex perience taught me that mlg'it help the boy who may have to go. It Is this anticipation la fur worse than rou Illa tion. In civil life a man stands in awe of the man above him, wonders how he could ever till his Job. When the time comes he rises to the occasion, Is up and at It, auJ Is surprised to find how niueh-n;re easily than he anticipated he tills his responsibilities. It Is reully so "out there." . He has nerve for the hardships j the Interest of the work grips him ; he finds relief In the fun and comradeship of rte trenches and wins that best sort of happiness that conies with duty well done. THE END. TROUBLE IN MAKING BUTTEK Churning Is Sometimes Prolonged for Several Hours Without Ob- taining Product ' (Prepared by th United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) ; The farm buttermnker sometimes J Tails to obtain butter after chtirtiina ! the usual length of time; ln fact, the churning is sometimes prolonged fori several hours without obtaining but- ter. The causes of the difficulty, to-1 gether with the remedies, are as fol lows : 1. Churning temperature too low. It may be, necessary, under exceptional conditions, to raise It to between 66 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit 2, Cream too thin or too rich. It should contain about 30 per cent but terfat Printing Butter. 3. Cream too sweet If ripened to a moderate acidity It will churn more easily. 4. Churn Joo fuIL In order to ob tain the maximum concussion the chum should not be more than one third fuIL 5. Ropy fermentation of the cream prevents concussion. This may be orevented bv sterilizine all the uten- alls and producing the milk ahd cream timli-r the most sanitary conditions. If additional measures are needed, the pasteurisation of the crenm, with sub sequent protection from contamination, nnd ripening It with a good slarler will be elTeetlva. ft, Individuality of the cow, The only remedy Is to obtain cream from a cow recently fresh, or cream that Is known to churn easily, and before ripening mix It with the cream Hint Is dlillcult to churn. 7. The cow being far advanced In the period of lactation. The efforts may be at least partially overcome by adding, before ripening, some cream from a cow that Is not far advanced In the period of lactation. 8. Feeds that produce hard fat. Such feeds are cottonseed incul and timo thy hay. Unseed meal, gluten feed, ami succulent feeds, such as silage nnd roots tend to overcome the condition.
