Lives Outside City.
The headquarters of General Nl-
▼elte. In commund of the operations at
Verdun, are quite a way outside tho
city, at n little crossroad hamlet,
which cannot be named for military
reasons. The general's offices ure In
the town courthouse, u two-story gtone
structure, It was In this same build-
ing that General retain, who preceded
Nlvelle, and General de Castelnau
quickly mode the plans at the first on-
rush of the Germans, which held them
until re-enforcements could be brought
up.
General Nlvelle goes to Verdun and
ulwng the trench front frequently. But
most of his time is at headquarters,
In telegraph mid telephone communi-
catlou with the whole circle of de-
fenses, and In touch, too, with the
other army corps and masses of sup-
plies ready to be moved forward to fill
any gap the Germans may make.
As we were at General Nlvclle's
headquarters a party of German pris-
oners came by. They mnrcbed two
nud two, their gray uniforms and round
cups contrusiing with the French blue
and casque. Already they were Be-
ing set to work, and lnsteud of a gun
each German carried li spade over his
shoulder. At Verdun there Is no ct-
vlllan life whatever, but uround Gen-
erul Nlvelle1* hcudquarters there were
peasant women and girls mingling w ith
the pollus, Indicating clvlUan life Ntill
existed thus near to the bombarded
town.
The rouds back of Verdun present
the most \aried scenes of activity. On
one side Is a vast ai'roplaiie camp, with
some twenty enormous hangars of bas-
ket steel construction covered with
canvas. Across the road Is a riding
course running for tnlles, where officers
■ an exercise their mounts mid cnvalr.v
<au push forward In emergency with-
out blocking the highroad. Kvery now
and then one sees a big vehicle shoot
by hearing the sign "American Am-
bulance Corj
Mules in Good Shape.
The thousands of horses aud mules
along the road are m good condition.
Many of the horses came from Amer-
leu and were run down by sea voyuge,
but after a month',s feeding they
proved very serviceable. On seeing |
the mules one of tile officers said:
"The demobilization of the Ol'eeJi
army had one very important result for
the allies—it released 10,,000 mules
which the Greeks hail been using, and
now these mules ure proving Invalua-
ble to the allies."
While the fields back of Verdun are
rich with yellow grain, yet there Is
one melancholy evidence of the war in
the burning of manure, usually the
very life blood of the soil. The gfuin
can he gathered by the soldiers and the
women who remain, but there is so
time to distribute the manure over the
land, and so it is burned.
The last gUmpse of Verdun came as
the party passed ii detachment of
French soldiers Just out of the trenches
aud going to the rear for rest. They

the simplest color and the lowest in !
the • erbs. Hence it i* the only one
that can lie absolutely predicted. As
far as known, there Is no case on rec-
ord where a che-tnut horse and chest-
nut mure have not brought a colt of
the same color. The SitlTolk 1s the
only breed that Is absolutely true to
color.
lllack is the next 111 serlee. followed i
in order by bay, gray and roan. Uray
parents may have a colt that Is gray,

a roan.
PASTURE IS VALUABLE ASSET
In Pasturing Alfalfa Care Must Be
Taken Thit It is Not Cut Too
Heavily—Best for Hogs.
For "growing out" little pigs and
currying over dry sows, n good pasture
is ii valuable asset. Alfalfa makes the
best pasture for hogs. In pastu:inu'
alfalfa, cure should be taken thai it I«
not pastured too heavily. If tills Is
done, the alfalfa will be badly killed
out In two or three years, and It will
be necessary to retteed.
Pasturing should never be carried mi
so heavily but that one-half 'on of
bay per acre can be cut three times a
-.ensotl. The is caslotuil cutting of the
alfalfa Induces new shoots to grow,
nd lieni e giently Improves the pas-
ture for the pigs.
IMPROPER FEEDING OF CALF
Indigrstion Is Most Common Affliction
Attacking Growing Animal—
Causes of Condition.
The most common affliction which
may attack the growing calf Is Indi-
gestion. The cuu'cs of this condition
are numerous; the most important
ones are overfeeding, feeding of cold
or so ir milk feeding dirty milk, ferd
lug milk that is hii;h in fat, Improper
hoii" g and frequent or sudden
haniri' in t' ■ ip Tature. Frequent at-
