In Charge of Torpedo Boat Bought
From the German Governments.
Lieut.. John S. Doddridge, of this
city, is in charge Of the United States
torpedo boat Somers, which is making
an experimental trip, as stated In the
following Associated Press telegram:
NEW YORK. Oct. 9.-The United
States torpedo boat Somers left this
port to-day for Philadelphia by the
outside route, which it is hoped she
will be able to travel by hugging close
to the Jersey coast. Much interest is
manifested in the trip, as this is the
first she has made since she was bought
from the German government and
brought across the Atlantic ocean on
the deck of an ocean liner. The Som
ers was bought now as something es-
pecially fast, but when she arrived
here it was found her frame work was
so weak that 1t had badly sprung and
examination Of her machinery reveal
ed many other defects.
She has been undergoing recon
struction at the Brooklyn navy yard
and would have made the start on Sat-
urday had it not been found that adj
ditional repairs were required. The
Somers Is too large to go through the
canal to Philadelphia. and it has been
asserted she is not Seaworthy enough
TO make the ocean trip. She is in
command of Lieut. John 5. Doddridge,
of the Talbot. and has picked crew
from the Talbot

moving the grain from the trough
should Won choose to do so. This, how
ever, is seldom done. The bottom of
the feeder is built high in the mid
dlc and slopes to the feed trough on
either side. The roof projects a lit
tie over the sides and measures about
IL feet from cave to cave. a door or
cover is provided mt either side for
the feed trough. If one has cows in
the lot at night, but wishes calves to
grain from the feeder during the day,
he can simply drop the lid when the
COWS are in the lot and raise it on
oats or shelled corn or whatever you
may have in the feeder for them. Cut
the rafters for the floor out of l4-foot
.2x4,s, making them each 3h feet
long; 36 rafters of this sort will be
needed for the bottom of the drop on
the sides.
After the feeder is sided up with
shiplap or flooring, the roof of lx3
sheeting is put on, which is after
wards covered with shingles. 1t is a
good idea to put several braces across
the feeder from cave to cave. Bolt
these to the 2x4's. Strength will be
given to the structure by running
halfiinch rod rhe length of the feed
er and making it fast just below the
grain doors. The feeder is about le
feet long, and has capacity of about
1000 bushels of corn. Total cost. in
cluding lumber, labor and hardware,
will be about $50 or $50. From so to
60 cattle can he fed at one of these
feeders. Have slides in the troughs
so the amount of grain can be adjust
ed to the kind of feed
