SOME VICES OF COWS.
Never Buy an Animal for the Dairy
That Shows Signs of Having
Bat Habits.

Sometimes an otherwise excellent
cow is rendered partially or totally
worthless for the dairy because of
habit of leaking milk, writes C. 2. Good
rich in Patrons Handbook. This
fault cannot always be detected unless
the milk is seen to be leaking. 1t does
not follow that because a COW milks
easily that she will leak her milk; far
from it. Still, those that do leak, usu-
ally milk rather easy. Sometimes the
milk seems to drip away from the teats
nearly as fast as it is made and the I'D
der is always nearly empty. This
makes a COW worthless as mixer,
but can be detected any time except
when she is dry. Other cows do not
leak until the udder is well distended
and they lie down, forcing the milk out
in stream and making. quite a puddle
of milk on the ground or floor. Some
times the close observer will detect
this
Another fault that some cows have
is the habit of sucking other cows, or,
worse still, of sucking themselves. My
advice is never to buy such COW un-
der any circums tances if one can detect
the fault. Such cow may possibly be
prevented from sucking, but she can
never be cured of the inclination to do
so, and will surely be a source of vex-
alton. II
If the COW you are looking at has
ring in her nose, or has her nose
pierced for ring, don't buy her. That

in vain attempt to prevent her from
sucking. If she has her tongue slit it
is for the same reason. But, no matter,
she can suck just the same. If the hair
is worn off about her head or neck, be
sure that it is not caused by some toy
gerry put there to prevent her sucking.

Portsmouth, was supplied with the
necessary gear, and after several pre-
liminary trials of initial character,
the Trafalgar put to sea towing the
Muriel, whose engines were so slowed
down that they did not give the ship
steerageway. The Trafalgar then
steamed ahead to wind at a speed
varying from eight to ten knots, but
from time to time one ship or the
other sheered off straight course
and SO reduced speed of coaling. The
Trafalgar having with two hawsers
taken the Muriel in tow, the main
cable was hauled on board the Ira
falgar and made fast to her MAIN
mast about ten feet below the fighting
top. The tail block. through which
the travelling line passed, was sent to
the Trafalgar along the main cable
and made fast about fous feet below
the main cable on the Trafalgar's
quarterback about 100 feet abaft the
mainmast. A budapest was erected,
through which these ropes passed and
were so adjusted that, controlled by
fair leads, they could slide up and
down distance of about 80 feet AS

A MODEL STORAGE PIT.
It Keeps Vegetables from Freezing
During Winter and from Crow
ing During Summer.

One of the most serious problems
f>c vegetable growers is to secure
storage place which will keep vege-
tables from freezing during winter
and also prevent them from shrink
ing and growing during summer.
Numerous plans have been used,
some of them with most satisfactory
results. In the northwest, Mr.. S. j..
Fairfield, of Minnesota, describes his
method in recent issue of the Min
nesota institute bulletin. Quoting
his own language, he says: II want
firm, hard seed potatoes from which
no sprouts have ever grown. To Sc
cure these, the potatoes should be
put in cave prepared especially for
this purpose and SO arranged as to
control the temperature in winter
and summer, keeping it as near to
the freezing point as possible. Put
the potatoes right in on the earth
and keep them dark. In this way

Trafalgar the load was released and
fell on the deck of the battleship.
The empty trawler was then drawn
back to the collier by another wire
rope, worked by another engine, and
at the beginning of the return jour
ney the fair leads We're hoisted to the
top OF the guideposts by the upward
strain of the main cable and secured
in this position. When the traveller
approached the guidepost on it's next
journey the fair leads were released
and the load gradually reached the
deck of the battleship.
Instead Of using a sea anchor to
keep an equal strain on the main ca bio
between the vessels, as in former ex-
periments, the same result was in
geniously accomplished by the use Of
a main tension engine which automat-
ically keeps the cable taut while per-
hitting its length to vary. This en-
CINE has two 10 by 10 inch steam cylin-
ders, and is geared to slipping drum.
The engine turns in the same direc-
ton all the time, and the slipping
drum is given definite power Of
about five tons by the slip of its fric-
ton heads. Hence the drum main
tains constant pull on the main ca ble
revolving one way and then the other
as the movement of the ship requires
greater or less length Of cable.
The two ships were $50 feet apart,
measured from the bow Of the Muriel
to the stern of the Trafalgar, and q

sued to prevent the collier from drift
ing on to the battleship. The opera
ton lasted two hours and SIS minutes,
and in this time 1913 tons of coal, or an
average of 30.S tons an hour were
transferred from the collier to the
battleship. The quickest run was At

Make your cave of any size, shape or
kind, if it is nothing more than a
pit i'll the ground. Cover with poles,
few corn stalks, little straw and
six to eight inches of earth.
ga ventilator four feet long and
7x7 inches outside measure should
be extended through the roof near
the center, projecting IS inches be-
low the roof. 1t is made of four-inch
board and is eight inches wide by
four feet long, in the form of a
loose box without ends. A square
plunger should be made, of inch
board, the same length as the ven
tilator, using four-inch boards six
inches wide by four feet long. Nail
n board that just fits over the bot
tom of the plunger and adjust over
the top, SO that when the plunger
is placed in the ventilator the board
on top will prevent its slipping into
the cave. The plunger should be
filled with sawdust and wrapped with
piece of old quilt or padding, so
that when it is in the ventilator, the
hole will be completely stopped and
consequently frost proof. Put a
screw hook into the bottom of the
plunger and on it hang a reliable
thermometer, SO that you can go to
the top of the cave, draw out the
plunger and see what the tempera-
ture is down below without having
to open it. The outline of nv cave
is shown in the accompanying Illus
tration.
"In order to keep the temperature
uniform, throw snow all around the
cave as soon as the soil is frozen
hard, and cover it with straw or old
hay. The snow will keep the cave
warm in winter and cool late in
spring. If nights are very cold. keen

If it gets below "a degrees pull out
the plunger and hang lantern on
the lower end, and the cave will
warm up in little while. If a cell
lar is used for storing potatoes or
vegetables, large lamp will warm
1t up during extremely cold periods.
"When spring comes I use Ice to
keep the temperature Of the cave
as low as possible. A galvanized box
two feet square and IS inches deep
with drain off into the ground
will answer as the ice box. 1t moth

and throw a blanket over the ice.

but will be more vigorous and as a
rule will outyield the other kind"
This plan has worked very well and
can be recommended. OF course. MS
Mr.. Fairchild intimates, every vepe-
table grower must work out the de-
tails of the plan himself. The sup-
gestions are excellent. It is easiIv
possible to construct a cave of this
kind very cheaply and to keep fruits
and vegetables very late in the sea-
son. If it is necessary to dig poto-
toes, for example, early before cool
weather comes, the use of ice in this
way will keep them until wanted.-

WHEN TO GRIND FEED.
Suggestions on Topic of Par
amount Importance.

The following concise advice from.
recent book on feeding by Prof.
Henry, of Wisconsin, a recognized
authority on the subject, is COM
mended: This subject is a difficult
one to discuss owing to the great
variety of conditions existing as to
both grain and animals. Directions
are here given which may serve to
guide the feeder in his practice. For
horses which are out of the stable
during the day and worked hard, all
grain, with the possible exception OF
oats, should be ground. For those
at extremely hard work, all grain
should be ground and mixed with
chatfed hay. For idle horses oats or
corn should not be ground, nor need
the hay or straw be chatfed. A coy
yielding a large, flow of milk should
be regarded as Woodworking ami
NAL and her feed prepared accord
ingly. Fattening steers and pigs
may be crowded more rapidly with
meal than with whole grain, though
there is more danger attending upon
its use. Sheep worth feeding can
always grind their own grain. In
general idle animals and those hav-
ing ample time for mastication,
rumination and digestion do not need
their grain or roughage prepared as
carefully as do those with only linn
tied time for these essential opera.
tions. Experiments quite generally
show increased gains from grinding
grain, but In many cases they are
not sufficient to pay the cost Of
grinding"

between. Toward the end of the oper-
alton the swell increased, and a con
siderable amount of moral suasion"
was required with at least one collier
captain. The coal was taken in with
derricks at the main deck ports. One
or two ships had torpedo booms
broken, and one collier sustained
some dents in her sides; but no ma
terial damage was done. The ships
were kept bows on to the swell, and
SO there was no rolling. All, however,
pitched somewhat, and the GOLFERS,
when they began to get light, pitched
rather violently. 1t was this pitching
which did such damage as was sustain
ed. We have dealt with this sea-coal-
ing at some length, because, SO far as
we know, it was the first effort ever
made in this direction. Its strategical

evading one; and had not the Howe
put into Vigo to coal, it would, thanks
to this coaling, have completely
achieved its object-the destruction of
a mythical trade without its where
abous being known to an enemy who
trusted to discover it by its having to
go and coal.
French experiments have gone on
ever since 1890 with vessels under way,
the collier being dashed securely to
the ship, and then the latter steams
ahead, against the wind generally. 1t
is claimed that ten knots has been
reached in some of the trials, though
this was necessarily in smooth
weather, and it is even doubtful il this
speed was reached. Use was made of
Temperley transports in these expert
ments.
The experiences of the Spanish war
gave great impetus to the solution
of this problem, and recently the Rus
sian and British navies have been ex-
perimenting with systems for coaling
at sea. The Russian battleship Retvi-
san has been fitted with cable way.
The traveller is operated by porta Bile
electric winches, which may be trans
ported about the deck to positions
favorable for working the cable way
at sea. In addition, there is hoist
ing device for taking on coal from col
iers alongside in harbor. So equip
ped, the Retvisan may either tow or
be towed by the collier.
The British admiralty ha. been car
rying on series of experiments with
another cable way, originally devised
and successfully operated by Mr..
Spencer Miller. He cooperated with
Mr.. Temperley, whose transporters
are in general use in the British navy
for coaling purposes, with the result
that with improved appliances the
problem appears to be near solution.
the collier Muri=l, which was sent to
Portsmouth last July, was fitted with
a large square mast, from the top of
which a cable way extends to the
quarterback of the ship to be coaled.

years ago it was attempted and ac-

then the French have tried the same

The first coaling at sea took place
in the middle of August, 1890, some 500
miles south of the Azores, and 900 or
more from the African coast, with
