There are several methods for saving
poultry manure, but as the volatile mat
ter is more easily retained during the
cold season than when the weather Is
warm the manure may be kept in a
more compact form. Dry earth is not
easily obtainable when the ground is
frozen, and too much dampness in the
quarters does not facilitate the process
of cleaning. Some one asks, why may
not two valuable fertilizers be combined
while saving the manure?
If sulphate of potash (kainit) be used
for busting the floor of poultry houses,
it not only answers as disinfectant as
well as an absorbent, but should the
manure begin to ferment the gaseous
ammonia will be converted into sui
phate, and remain in a solid form. The
potash itself is a valuable ingredient,
and as the kanit also contains traces of
magnesia and lime it is still better. 1t
is cheap if procured in the crude state,
which answers all practical purposes,
and is superior to plaster. One part of
the kainit to one of the droppings will be
sufficient, though a larger portion of
kainit maybe used if preferred. Fan

Tricks in all trades" there are I'M
questionably. The Snowman of live stock
is credited with his full share, and not
unjustly in some instances OF course
the horse dealer has occasioned most of
the railing and accusation on this score
Anthony the currycomb, liniment,
skillful farriery and glass eyes condition
some of the worst bag o bone" so well
that judges and purchasers are deceived.
These tricks are more often met with in
the sale stable than in the showyard.
Sheep men know thing or two--and
some practice what they know-about
the use of shears in shaping up. 1t is
difficult for swine or beef cattle to be
"doctored" for show so as to conceal eff
fects. They may be dressed up" bit,
which is perfectly legitimate and alto
gether desirable. The best foot must be
put forward when on exhibition but
when that best foot is clubfoot it
passes the bounds of legitimate prepara-
ton to attempt artifcially to shape it in
to perfect foot form.
Exhibitors of dairy cattle find oppor-
tunity for a species of deception in al
lowing their COWS to go unmilked the
night before or the morning of the day
of judging. The practice is so widely
prevalent that many fairs have formu-
lated specific rules against it, which in
some cases are oftener violated than OBJ
served. Udders distended to the utmost
capacity, hard as if gargeted and almost
infamed, are to be seen in nearly every
show ring where dairy breeds are being
judged. Outlines the pressure is so great
that milk streams from the teats and
makes puddles under the cows. This is
as it ought not to be.
The owner and the COW both are en-
titled to an examination when the udder
Is sufficiently full to show its normal
distention at regular milking periods,
and the dairy COWS should be called TO
the judging at II time when they may lie
seen at their best advantage in this re-
spect But that time is not when the
quarters are swollen and the teats are
squirting milk like fountain. That is
nothing less than cruelty to animals,
and we are glad to see that it has been
so held in court of law.
A canny Scot was the offender, and in
the effort to suppress the plain evidence
of the offense he plugged the cows teats
with bits of wood to prevent the leaking
of milk. An official of the Society For
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
was on duty at the Kilbarchan show,
and about midday he discovered the ex-
hibitor plugging up a teat from which
milk was streaming. He directed him
to desist, and on examination found an
other teat plugged.
He testified that the appearance of
the cows udder was very straight and
distended and the animal was kicking
about and standing wide" The exhibit
or admitted that the COW had not been
MIXED since 9 o'clock the previous night.
The court said, Ten dollars and costs,
or IA days" for cruelty to aninals-a
wholesome bit of Scotch justice. Breed

The Broadside Battleshlp.

81 &.
Admiral Colomb, of the English ma
Wy. may be said to have led the critics
of the modern warship in the attack
upon mere bulk and responsiveness,
but in his article in the current num-
Der of the North american Reuiew he
goes further than any one has yet gore
in criticism upon the present type.
Most suggestive in his paper. Asked.
in all probability-for the modern edi-
tor scatters his topics as the sower does
his seed-to tell what he thinks will
be the battleship of the future, he be-
gins by considering the battleship will
revert to the very broadside type which
our ancestors fought. 1t is not only
his conviction that monster guns are
mistake that lead him to this conclu-
sion, nor the fact that the Harvey pro-
cess permits OF the wider distribution
ofarmor, but he has a theory of his
own to account for the present condi
ttion Of thu ngs in their relation to both
the past and the future.
Briefly, Admiral Colomb asserts that
the present turret and barbette sys-
tenn are the result of failure to pre-
ceive that the introduction of steam,
by increasing the man9uvring power
of the vessel, did away with the ne
cessity for increasing the arcs which
the guns should cover. On the other
hand. it was the paddle wheel which
first led to the mounting of guns fore
and aft. So that steam worked the
wrong way about and led to the inven-
ton of monster Krupps and Armstrong;
when they were really not needed for
either offense or defense. But now
that the 40 guns are found unservice-
able, now that nickel steel armor may
be spread over ships side and give
no greater displacement, and particu-
larly now that the building of fast
cruisers like the Blake and the New
York has started the fashion of broad
sides on what are practically battle
ships, the accident which gave turrets
to the modern man-of-war is likely to
have spent its force, and we shall see
q reversion to the older type-we shall
have the old line of battleship, with
heavy guns and stout sides, but with
out masts or sails. 1t may be noted
that even the sixty-seven-ton gun is far
too big for Admiral Columb's acquies-
cence.
All this is, as has been already said,
most suggestive. There is much to be
said on the other side. For one thing,
the invention of turrets by Coles and
Ericsson had much more to do with
the destruction of the broadside system
than had the paddle-wheel. And even
at that. the very first effort was to ar
range the turrets so as to secure a
broadside fire-and the old Royal Sow
ereign has successors in our Maine and
Texas. But no one who considers the
arrangement of the guns in our own
battleships Will fail to perceive that
the broadside which they carry has
worked back to something nearly re-
lated to the old broadside. The steps
by which this has come about are too
long to be traced now. But the long
experimentation with types only makes
Admiral Colomb's essay toward a the
DRY of the development of the modern
warship seem of greater ingenuity. AT
its ingenuity we prefer TO rest for the
Philadelphia Times.
