Men ‘with arms broken, legs broken, shrapnel wounds in the head, back and body, and every possible kind of wound. We had amputations galore, poor (allows losing arms, legs, fingers and â€"‘v-'. “Pride surged in our hearts when the streets rang with the hurried march of fearless Canadian soldiers, who were at last to have the chance to prove their worth. While dazed French colonials broke madly down one side of the Ypres road, the other side was filled with batteries of Can- adian artillery galloping madly to the aid of their comrades of the line, who were even then engaging on- coming Germans with their thous- ands, and untrained as the soldiers of the first contingent were, as com- pared with the well-drilled batta- lions ot the vaunted Prussian Guards, there flowed in their veins the same British blood which at many another time of crisis had spent itself willingly in gallant sac- rifice to stem the onslaught of foes, and well the world knows to-day to what advantage Canada’s sons laid down their lives and suffered terri- bly. but succeeded in checking the sudden and terribly dangerous in- cursion of our asphyxiating enemy. lih-_L-_h -. ;."around our little hospitals in a Bel- gian town two miles behind Ypres, ienjoying the perfect weather of a . spring evening, that we were on the critical battles in this, the greatest of all wars,” writes Pte. Judson H. i Ellis, 3rd Canadian Field Ambu- lance, First Contingent, to his mo- ther, Mrs. M. E. Ellis, Alliston, Ont. His letter, dated May 6 continuesz‘ “Neither side appeared to intendi any unusual attack save for the sul- 'len booming of hostile artillery; in ! fact we had just finished having our Itea after playing baseball with the machine gun section of the Third Battalion of Toronto, and, although I am a little previous in my account, I shall add here that every one of the boys we played against were either killed or wounded by the same; time next day. Ross Binkley, the great Argo Rugby player, pitched against us and George Cotton, who played third, was killed, in fact all of them. i “But, to continue, in the midst of our repose after tea, just as 'a bolt from the blue, an aeroplane sped in swift circles overhead around our lines, dropping flaming signals, tell- ing all was not well, and to ensure immediate mobilization of all re- serves. Among the quickly-gathered groups of soldiers, all eagerly dis- cussing the situation, dashed the swift motor cars of the British staff and the reason for its sudden any pearance became evident by the panic-stricken Algerians, who, while dauntless against an honorable foe,‘ were quite unable to withstand the dastard use of devilish devices. «a O an O.

B91- ' “The first trip I made out, I went with one of the 2nd Battalion boys and we were headed for a barn where there was an R. F. A. man who had been there 38 hours wound- ed. No person could get near him. so we went up to the first line of trenches, and, after they had pass- ed the word down the line not to ' fire on us as we went out, we crawl- . ed over the trench and started out ' for the barn, 25 or 30 yards ahead of ’ us in ‘No Man’s Land.’ Perhaps you ‘ good people back home, sitting out ' on the verandah in cozy chairs as ' you read this, may think it sounds ‘- awfully easy, but if my heart was ever in my mouth and my toes shak- ’ ing in my boots, it was then. Pic- ture, if you can, a cloudy night, and ' us crawling as flat as we could with German bullets flying one way and the British bullets flying the other way over you. One can crawl aw- fully close to the ground, and especi- ally when a star bomb goes up. Well, I can assure you you could not have pushed a cigarette paper be- tween my nose and the dirt, and be- lieve me, a statue had nothing on us for silence while those flares had burned down. It was only about 25 yards. and as we went we had to drag a stretcher behind us and roll dead Germans and British away from in front of us. t "It was the longest 25 yards I ever made in my life and by the time we were back in the trenches with our patient we were surely en- titled to a few minutes rest, even‘ ,though 'we were still in danger. Af- . ~ter carrying him through the wire entanglements between the first line and the reserve line of trenches we finally arrived at the dressing sta- ltion. We made quite a. number of trips afterwards and brought in a onunded German officer, and I can gassure you he was no delicate speci- imen of humanity, for he must have .weighed 200 pounds, but we wasted llittle time with him and had very ilittle sympathy for his groanings as 'we jostled him along on our should- I ”H I"â€"â€"\VU ers. His buttons, cap, etc., we very .soon took from him as souvenirs, but at that we treated the German wounded far better than their bru- tality deserved. _ The last trip out :I, along with J. Smith, had just got {out a few yards when a couple of gsnipers must have seen us, for they began popping away at us, with the result that “Smithy” got one in the hand and I had to get him back to the station. “Dawn found us back through the avenue of hell, minus one ambu- lance car and three wounded men. On Monday our little town was shell- ed, and having about 200 patients we had to carry them under shell fire across a field out of the danger zone, about a mile and a half. Dur- ing this, one of our boys, Walter Smart, of Regina, was killed and several wounded, but we got all the patients safely away. After it was over we returned, and for two more (laws we worked in the hospital un- de: intermittent shell fire, until fin- ally two shells landed plumb on the hospital and smashed it up, and then, as the remainder of the Cana- dians were being taken back for a rest, we went along back to a farm behind ‘Poperhinge' where we slept, sPeaking literally, for two days to make up for what we had come through. The third night we march- ed twenty-five miles up ‘to the town where we are to stay, possibly for a month, awaiting reinforcements, which I do hope Canada keeps send- mg, for men are surely needed here, and we fellows Up here surely feel it to be the duty of all who can to come and take their place if; 'the trenches: for Canada’s 'name and glory, for after all, this is our'war and we are fighting for Canada as well as for poor devastated; Belgium. “Next night, or was .it next, for ~they were all the same to us. Nights and days made no difference for we ~ did not sleep for 72 hours, about ? fifteen of us fellows went up to St. . Jean. . We could not go as far as St. Julien this time, for the‘ Germans ' were there, and arriving at St. Jean 1 we could not find our officers, as they had been compelled to retreat, so being there without orders we were useless until Sergt. Owen, our most ‘popular N.C.O., who was in charge, .realized that the place was too hot ’ for us, and that if we were not to be ’all killed we would either have to ‘go on to the trenches, or back to the lhospital, so he asked for volunteers jto go up to the Brigade Headquar- 'ters to report for duty to act as ‘regimental stretcher-bearers. Nem- ;less to say every man stepped for- |ward, and after crawling through .fields, ditches and mud we arrived at Headquarters, not fifty yards be- ;hind the reserve trenches. Here ,‘we reported to Capt. Haywood, the 'medical officer or the 3rd Battalion of Toronto, and volunteered to go iup to the trenches for wounded. He nearly threw his arms around us ,Jwith pleasure, for practically all the Third Battalion stretcher-bearers |had been cut up. not even complaining. Oh! our British troops are wonderful Men were lying with arms and legs roken and we were setting the bones in splin while they merely ground their t th and never murâ€" mured. But some of the sights were awful. One shall remain indelibly stamped on my memory for life.

There are many known instances where alfalfa has been used for pas- turing both horses and cattle without any injurious results. but as a matter of fact there is always a little danger in pasturing cattle on alfalfa. They should become accustomed to the crop gradually. and they should never be turned into an alfalfa field when they are hungry. When cattle are pastured on alfalfa one must always be prepar.

By setting the plants in check row fashion the tool can be run in both directions. making the operation of. cutting the runners a short one even over a large extent. ~- be made of any bolt of suitable size threaded on both ends so that a nut and washer may be placed on each side of the disk. This clamps the two disks firmly to the axle and prevents them from revolving independently of each other. The handle should be made similar to a lawn mower handle. To Cut Strawberry Runners. When strawberries are not allowed to run over the bed. but are cultivated in hills, an implement for cutting the runners is a necessity. One’ of the simplest as well as one of the best is shown in the figure. The cutters are old disks from a disk harrow or culti- vator and must be kept well sharpened to do their best work.

In addition, the remaining fruit has a greater chance of development because the tree is not called upon to nourish those infested. The fruit produced from trees that have been thinned is of far superior quality.â€"American Agriculturist. Culling out can be gauged by no fast rule. It is seldom overdone since the fruit grows fast up to harvest time. It is best to pull each wormy and blight- ed fruit. Such fruit will either drop from the tree before picking or prove worthless for storage or marketing. Thinning Advised For Those Who Want Product of High Quality. To many it is a waste of time and labor to thin fruit trees, but with few exceptions it should be done. When the tree hears a light crop little thin- ning is necessary. but since ,most trees bear too much it is necessary to thin them to obtain fruit of proper quantity and quality. The purpose of thinning is to secure large. healthy, well flavored fruit in culling out the knotty. diseased, ill flavored ones. In order to prevent waste. feed the culls to hogs and poultry. The f: umer reluctantly agreed to the banker's terms, recen ed the loan and met the conditions. In five years he was out of debt and rated as a sub- stantial and prOSperous farmer and business man. To him farming had ceased to be a game at chance and had become a business. the garden would, in poor as well as in good seasons, fully support the farmer's table. He figured that in poor years the farmer would be able- to play even and that in the good, and even in the ax erage year. the farm would produce enough to gradually wipe out the debt. The system outlined by the banker required that a portion of the loan should be used to purchase two cows, half a dozen pigs and a small flock of poultry. It also provided for a fair sized vegetable garden. Grain farming was to be continued as before. The banker figured that the live stock and How 3 Grain Grower Turned a Loss Into Substantial Profit. A number of years ago a North Da- kota wheat farmer, whose exciusive grain growing had put him deep in debt. desired from his bank a loan of $1,000. writes 'J. C. McDowell in the Kansas Farmer. Except the horses there was no live stockâ€"not a cow; a pig or even a chickenâ€"on the place. The banker, a very shrewd business man, was able to analyze the problem and to discover the cause of the farm- er‘s financial ditficulties, and he agreed to make the loan only on condition that the borrower change his system of farming.
