The naval board on construction has
finally approved the plans of the three
battleships authorized by the last Con
gress and gave Instructions to have the
specifications prepared at once prelim-
mary to calling for bids from the ship
builders. The ships will be enlarged
lowas in type with the same rectan-
gular superstructure and the two tur-
rets, bow and stern, on the main deck.
The turret guns will be twelve-inch cal
iber, like the Iowa's guns; there will
be turret at each corner of the super
structure, carrying two eight-inch guns
and twelve six-inch rapid firers will be
disposed along the sides of the central
'citadel. The ships will make nineteen
knots speed and have a displacement of
about 1880 tons, making these new
ships by far the largest in the United
States navy and as big as the largest
type of British armored cruisers. As
the constructors are limited in The draft
by our shallow harbors to little over
twenty-five feet, and as seventy-five
feet represents about the greatest beam
consistent with speed, it will be neces-
sary TO provide for the weights by Civ
ing the ships more length than the
Iowa class, and they will be almost
40 feet long. The secondary batteries
will be made up largely of fourteen
Founders. Altogether the ships will be
more than equal to any warships of
their size in the worlds nayies.

1t would take $50 to pay for the
amount of ammonia which is often vast
ed in the stable of a man owning 20 or
80 cows; yet all this value could be held
during the winter by two or three tons
of land plaster. A pint day for each
animal will be sufficient, if sprinkled
behind them in the cutters so as to
catch the liquids. 1t has been shown
that 100 pounds of plaster will retain 15
pounds of ammonia, each pound OF
which is worth Is cents. These figures
are something tangible, and should set
us to thinking.

Moving the wheat stubble and raking
the rubbish into windows to be burned
is custom too prevalent. The clover
will be all killed under the winrows,
of course. All this rubbish might have
been of much value if given right treat
ment in it's disposal. When burned, all
the nitrogen escapes into the air, and
the potash and phosphorus are about
wasted. because collected in few mar
row spaces instead of being scattered
over the whole field. All mulching
values are lost, too. Let the moving
be done before the weeds and clover and
stubble become so woody that they will
not decay when left on the surface by
the mower. If necessary, there can be
a second or third moving.
