Torpedo Boats by Rail.

Probably the queerest thing SO far
established in the case of the French
submarine boat, Gouber, is her trans
portation by rail from the docks Of
Paris aint-Ouen to the arsenal of Tou-
lon. The Echo de Paris dwells at some
length upon the advantages of carry
ing fiotilla of small torpedo boats by
the same method. In one day they
could be sent from the Mediterranean
to the British Channel, or from the
channel to the Mediterranean. In case
of war between France and England
it says, the boats moving on land
would have an advantage over the
British ships, obliged to effect their
concentration via Gibraltar.
The Goubet was carried upon an or
binary fifteen ton car, but with the
creation of special means of transport
tation boats very much larger than the
Goubet might be carried by rail. "One
Hundred submarine boats no larger
than the Goubet could keep Pas-de-
Calais free from any attack by an
English fleet. And one hundred Gou-
bets would not cost fifteen million
francs"

Wheat Farming.

A Nebraska paper tells of man who
bought farm there, upon which there
was a mortgage of $500. He did not
make much money the first year, but ne
sowed eighty acres of wheat the next
wear. 1t was a poor year for wheat
and the stand was so poor that ne
thought he would not harvest it. He
returned to his old home, and left the
farm and the mortgage to fight it out
as they pleased. The wheat ripened,
fell to the ground and seeded it well.
There was fine crop, and as some one
was kind enough to write about it to
him. he went back, harvested it and
sold it for enough to pay the mortgage
and all his other debts. IF at first

Floor Space in Poultry House.

More room is required in the poultry
house in winter than in summer, be-
cause during the warm season the fowls
can go outside, only requiring sufficient
room for roosting, but in winter they
need room for scratching when the
snow is on the ground. 1t is the space
on the floor that is required and not on
the roost, for when hen fixes herself
on the roost she will be quiet until
morning, but during the day she should
be kept busy. Ten fowls in a poultry
house 10 feet square (making 100 square
feet are sufficient but most persons
endeavor to double or even treble that
number, and the consequence is that
they keep too many fowls in proportion

Lyddite Snefis in Africa.

The terrible devastation caused by
lyddite shells fred by the English
among the Beers marks the introduce
ton Of a new and formidable engine
of destruction. The lyddite is packed
in a shell and fired by a percussion
fuse. 1t is obtained by the fusion of
nitric acid upon phenol. Its explosion
creates an area of havoc far wider
than that due to the ordinary shell
charged with powder and shot. The
resulting deaths are for the most part
due to the terrific conclusion of air,
which has been known to kill man at
q distance of 200 yards.

Ensilage for Horses.

AS many people have an idea that en-
silage is not good food for horses, we
will call attention to the fact that the
Virginia Experiment Station has been
testing it, and they report that the trou-
BILE from is use has arisen from too
much having been fed at the beginning,
and as the horse likes it he is tempted
to eat too much Of it, as he might of
green grass or clover. This is more apt
to be the case when it contains large
amount of corn. When they began by
feeding small quantities and increased
very gradually in the amount given no
injury resulted, and after they were
well accustomed to it's use they would
not eat too heartily of it, even when
given opportunity.

Climate Variations.


The Ohio Farmer, in connection with
an article from the experiment station
upon wheat growing, prints map
showing the dates for sowing wheat In
different sections of the State. There IS
a variation of a month, or from Sept.
10 in the northern counties to Oct. lO
in few counties in the extreme South.
Some vary in certain places because
of change in the elevation. Both
Northern Maine and Northern New
Hampshire are nearly two months later
in seed time and nearly as much carrier
in harvest than the southern parts OF
those States, the one because OF the
distance north and the other because OF
the snow-covered mountains. We would
suggest that each experiment station
should publish a similar map, so that
when one takes up paper and learns
that they are blowing in the southern
part of the State, or sowing seed, he
may feel that he can wait two or four
weeks longer before he begins without
being behind with his work. Even in
so small a State ais Massachusetts the
mate and soil is considerable, and farm
hints for March on Cape Cod would be
in season about in April at Amherst

Values of Grain for Making Pork.
The director of the Montana expert
ment station compares the value of
different grain foods for pork as fol-
lows:
By combination Of grain and legu-
minous pastures pigs can be grown to
weight Of $50 pounds at a cost of 2
cents pound. Alfalfa, clover, peas,
wheat and barley make the best of pig
feed. Alfalfa or clover pasture, with a
little grain in summer, affords condi-
tons for the cheapest growth and the
greatest profit.
Pigs fed on barley or barley and
wl&at at present market prices will
pay for all food consumed when pork
is 49, cents pound.
The pea, combined with grain, is well
adapted to the wants of the growing
animal and will give the greatest gains
on the smallest amount of feed
The lot, fed equal parts of barley.
wheat and peas made gain of pound
in weight for 4.55 pounds Of food when
the pigs were between the weights of
ITS and 2O9.S.
Pigs make the. greatest gains and at
a less cost Of gain before they reach

combinations used is firm and we'll

Drowned Rice.

A favorite sanitarium dish, and one
that is especially adapted to invalids
young children or old people, who re-
quire light supper in order to insure
a good nights rest, is Drowned rice
Put the rice on tin plates in the oven
and brown just as you would conee,
stirring frequently to prevent scorch-
ing. 1t will take some little time to
do this, but it can be attended to While
other work is going on, and then put
in glass cans until needed. 1t should
be a golden brown when ready for use.
Put on a small kettle with a little
salt and just water enough to barely
cover. Cook rapidly for fifteen min
utes, shaking often to prevent sticking.
When done, serve hot with milk or
cream, syrup or quite alone, many pre-
ferring it without any addition.
Drowned rice is also excellent served
as vegetable, with chicken, veal or
lamb.
