AN UNDERGROUND FARM
This touch comos from the letter of a French soldier, and is worthy of n Ju’es Verne. “In really up-to-date trenches you will find kitchens, dining rooms, bedrooms, and even stables. One regiment has firstclass cow sheds. One day a whimsical pioupiou finding a cow wandering about in the danger zona had the bright idea of finding shelter for her in the trenches. The example was quickly followed by his comrades, and at tins moment the infantry possesses an underground farm, in which rat kine, well cared for, are giving such quantities of miik that butter is being regularly distributed; good butter, too.”
