manageable. with her head sails gone
and her 'bowsprit shot away. The Con-
stitution dropped astern Of her and raked
her deck lengthwise. s s,..
Then the British captain determined
to board the American. In closing the
Java ran her jib boom into the mizzen
rigging Of her opponent, but she soon
lost her jib and received q severe raking
from the stern. Under this fire her fore.
mast went down, smashing in the fore
castle and main deck.
After some maneuvering in which, as
usual, the Constitution avoided the
raking fire Of the Java, the vessels stood
broadside to broadside The first fire OF
the Constitution carried away the Java's
mizzen mast All that remained was
her mainmast with it's yards gone. The
English ceased firing, but their flag did
not come down. cambridge lay to, and
after an interval, seeing the Java's en-
sign still flying, prepared to open his
guns again Then the British colors
were struck. Meanwhile the Java's
mainmast had fallen, perforated with
shot. All her masts had been cut
through with American missiles. Be-
sides, the hull Of the vessel was torn
open and she was leaking badly. Balm
bridge lost 81 killed and wounded,
while the loss of tho British was more

The victory over the Java closed the
brilliant achievements Of the year 1912
for the navy. The Constitution, with
Commodore cambridge on deck, reached
Boston early in 1918. Signal guns an
nounced tho arrival, aud when the
wounded commodore appeared on the
crowded street, supported on either side
by the naval heroes John Rodgers and
Isaac Hull, the people went wild with
enthusiasm. At the beginning OF the
war it had been proposed in Washing
ton that the nations navy be laid up to
prevent capture This uncalled for s)ur
upon the gallant sailors the people Of
the seacoast bitterly resented.
Captain Charles Stewart, a, worthy
successor Of Hull and cambridge, next
stepped to the deck of the Constitution.
Throughout the war he handled the
gallant ship with marvellous skill and
daring, and thereafter shared with her

Corn Feeding Methods.

The Vermont experiment station has
reported it's test of feeding the corn
crop to milk COWS to determine the
best method Of preserving the corn
plant for winter use. 7. s.
-Four methods were tried: First, the
whole plant was run through the cutter
into the silo; second, the ears were
husked, cribbed, dried and ground, cob
and all, and fed with the stalks that
had been made into silage; third, the
corn was cut and cured in large shocks,
and before feeding was run through
cutter, ears and all; fourth, the corn
was. husked from the fodder, ground
with the cob and fed with the stover
that was cut as needed. &3ff
Analysis showed that the loss from
each method was practically the same,
except where the shocks were left ex-
posed as the winter progressed the loss
increased. In the silage the ears lost
more Of their value than in the shock
or crib. Time and money spent husking
and grinding the ears were wasted as
better results were obtained when the
ears were left on the stalks and all run
through the cutter before feeding. The
silage forms were most relished by the
COWS and the dairy product greatest.
The experiments confirm the common
opinion that for dairy cows the corn
crop in the form Of silage is more val
liable than in dry fodder and meal. For
steer feeding there is some evidence 60
ing to show that steers fed on shock
corn run through the cutter, ears and
stalk, make better growth than where
the corn is husked and the fodder and
ears or meal fed separately. One Of the
most successful steer feeders within our
knowledge feeds the shock corn after it
is run through q cutting box, ears and
all cut to inch lengths. The steers in
this case have water and bright straw
under cover as they desire it. Breed

In estimating an animals food the
amount necessary for one day is called
a ration, whether it is all fed at two or

often used in connection with the feed

join her consort. Crowding on all sail
until the royal mast snapped of under
the load, Stewart gave chase. Owing to
the accident to the mast he did not come
up to the Britons until evening, and
then the two had united. The Constitu-
tion ranged alongside the Cyane and
fired broadside into her at 200 yards.
