An eighth ounce of screen- ings which had been ground as chop- ped feed was found txi contain 2'33 noxious and 481 other wee<l seeds. But when the smaller weed seeds have been removed it is not diflicult to destroy by grinding the vitality of nearly all those remaining. The smaller weed seeds, comprising from 20 to 40 per cent of the whole, are not completely ground by ordin- ary mills and some of them are be- lieved to be decidedly unwholesome. When gra<lcd to remove these small- er harmful seeds and the balance finely ground, screenings make a cheap and nutritious stock feed. Weed Seeils in Feed.

One of the few wai subjects which has not been exa^'geruted Is the really amazing friendship which has sprung up between the so diers of the alliea armies. If you consider that they cannot understand a word of each other's language, you might Imagine that real Intimacy were no more than a dream. Such is not the case Mr. Atkins and M. Piou Piou have become actual and real frienc:, and ti see them strolling along in liberty hours, arm in arm and talking volubly, Is a liberal education In the possibilities of human nature, writes O. M. ilueffer. One incident wliich the writer per- sonally witnessed 'somewhere near the front," as the war correspondents say, and which : i.-uks volumes for the friendship of the allied private sol- diers must be prefaced by the state- ment that some 40 per cent, o' the British troops at present at the front are total abstainers. I happened to be wiiilclng across the niarltet place of the lillle town with a staff ofllcer of the British. Just in our way were. I sup- pose, a couple of hundred French pri- vates. As we .;aine up to them they fell away before us in a manner alto- gether Incomprehensible, backing to- ward the nearest wall, keeping their faces always towards us, antl saluting continually with a surprising euthus'- asm. i asked the colonel what he sup posed It meant Ue replied, with raised eyebrows that it was altogether incomprehensible Three minutes laler, having left the colonel at the do'-r of his headquar: ers, I discovered the key of the mys- tery Three Hi ,isli siragglei who had lost their battalions and were look- ins for them liail wandered into thb town. They had come far, and on the way the peasantry, who by this time positively adore "les Anglishes," had offered them ,the wine whlcii was red. Their Krencii comrades, recugnlziiig their condition, had flocked together to protect them from any possible punish- I nienl at the hands of t!ie British offl- ctrsâ€" whence the manfieuviing in the iriarket-place. The pains which those t^rench sol- idiers took subseqne'itly to insure the safely of their charges was a lesson ill humanity Aft.-r long consultai;on thty decided that ihi village church was the best place of sanctuary, and ii' rnrdiiigly they 'f tl;em there pro (iirnd large trusses of straw, and left 'hrm to sleep off their "fatigue " as one of the Frenchmen pat it. Two of the- culprits proved perfoolly amenable and went quietly if sleep The third, of more 'heroic mold, no'sooner found himself abandoned, than he arose swiftly to his feet, lefi the church, and 'wandered again throi gl. the market- place, hinting by s^gn- to tlie passers- by that he was still athirst His watchful yranch protectors rose to Ihe occasion, led him "gain to the sanctuary, and again put him to bed. Two minutes later he was out n'n'n, recommencing his tour of the market- place I do not thloK ! am exaj;:.- :at- ing If I say that this performance 'vas gone through ten times, wiih unvary- ing patience on the par* of the Krench- iiien, befcre the infantry :i!aii-errant was at last permitted to go to s;eep.
