Successful Test of Gun Fired Ende
Water at Target.

Successful Test of Gun Fired Under
Water at Target.
The experiment of firing gun under
water has been made in the harbor OF
Portsmouth, England, and was attend
ed by an apparent complete success,
says the New York Herald. A no.
pound gun was used. At low water
the gun and its carriage were lowered
beneath the surface and diver sent
down to place it in position on a solid
plank platform laid at the bottom. Tao
platform was weighted with largo
blocks OF granite to keep it steady and
the gun and carriage were then placed
III position. For the first test target
composed of oak beams and planks
twenty-onc inches thick was lowered
and set in position beneath the water
at distance of seyenty-five feet from
the muzzle of the gun. Behind this
target the hull of an old vessel was
towed into position directly in line of
the fire from the gun. In order to make
the test the more severe sheets of boil
CT plate three inches in thickness were
riveted to the hull of the craft at the
point where the shell from the gun
would strike ii it was not detected
by the water and succeeded in passing
through the target-something which
the majority of army and navy experts
present did not anticipate. Having
made all these preparations, the diver
came to the surface and, taking the
shell with which the experiment was
10 be made, again went below the sur
face and carefully loaded the gun.
which was then aimed at the target
and the hull of the vessel beyond. A
wire connecting with the firing mech
anism of the gun led TO the shore some
distance away, where it connected with
an electric battery in charge of the
firing party. The test was made at
high tide. When all the conditions
were right the word was given and the
current sent from the battery through
the wire TO the submerged gun. There
was slight disturbance of the water
over the place where the gun was
sunk and the vessel anchored beyond
the target was seen to rock and sway
and then gradually settle in the water
and sink.

Poultry Notes.
Do not feed geese much grain.

DO not FEED geese much grain.
Use milk for mixing up soft feeds.
Fully one-haIf of early maturity is
in the feeding.
A little salt in the food is beneficial,
too much Is detrimental.
Inbreeding is breeding within fixed
line without outside blood.
Young poultry should never be al
lowed to run in the wet grass.
With extra large size fowls comes
the increased danger of humble foot.
Inbred stock Is that which will trace
on both sides to common parentage.
In breeding more depends upon the
female than the male, If size is an
object.
If you raise ducks, do not allow the
little ones to go into the water till
they are feathered out.
Under ordinary conditions if a lay
ing hen averages an egg a week it will
pay the expense of feeding her.
Cooked meat chopped reasonably
fine can be fed to chicks confined in u
brooder once q week. probably.
AS general rule, it will be best to
have all surplus fowls OF every kind
marketed by the middle of this month.
Keep the little chicks warm and dry
and do not allow them to get hungry
and you will have but little trouble
with disease.
Roup may be generally traced to
want OF cleanliness, improper ventila-
ton or undue exposure, and guarding
against these will usually prevent it.
While the Brahmas are good sitters
they are SO large that care must be
taken in the construction of their nests
or they will break a good many of their
eggs.
Some poultry men claim that by
feeding bone dust to poultry an abun-
dance of bone and she'll making ma
terial Is supplied, and in feeding with
ground feed the tendency to diarrhoea
is checked.

Buttermilk Cheese.-A much valued
friend up in Minnesota, who did not
wish her identity disclosed at that
time, wife of one OF the men promi-
nent in dairy affairs there, wrote us
some three years ago that she learned
to make buttermllk cheese from a dear
old Swiss lady. who knew how to do
most things well. And this is the pro-
cess as she described il: I'VE pour o,r
buttermilk in an ordinary milk can
and set it in the reservoir until the
curd begins to separate and rise to the
top. stirring often; do not let it get too
hot or the curd will be tough. Put
cheese cloth over a colander set in q
pan and put the curd in. After few
minutes draw the cheese cloth together
and tie loosely and hang up to drain
say, six hours, when it will be found
compact mass. Break it with a potato
nasher, until smooth; add a little salt
and cream sufficient TO hold It tOgeth-
er; press in small cups or moids. 1t
IS very like cottage cheese, only finer
IN flavor. "-Correspondent Hoards
