preserver in an emergency.
Air is admitted through the rear mast
and circulates throughout the boat.
This air tube is, however, autOmatical-
ly closed when the boat is beneath the
surface Of the water, and the coming
tower is completely covered by means
Of hydrOstatic piston. open to the
water at the bottom Of the boat, the
pressure of the water at the increased
depth forcing up the piston, which ac-
tuates a lever to force valve over the
air-tube opening, thus preventing the
entry Of water through 1t.
The same motion Of the piston oper
ates levers connected to a valve In the
compressed air tank in the bottom Of
the boat, opening it and thus allowing
fine stream Of air to issue therefrOm
into the boat, and supplying the oper
ator with fresh air. AS the boat again
reaches the surface the pressure on the
hydrostatic piston Is released because
there is less depth Of water and the air
tube is again opened and the air tank

air. but on leaving, its casing the pro-

An Automatic Tank Valve.

An AUTOMATIC TANK Salves
Regulating the flow Of water into

causes farmers more or less anxiety
and trouble. In the plan as illustrated,
the water pipe enters near the top OF
the tank, which places the valve out OF
water thus relieving 1t Of all danger
from rust or the collection Of sediment.
Such valve may be bought at any
hardware store. The pipe may enter

Feed Trough for Young PIGS.

One of the difficulties in feeding
young pigs Is seeing that each has a
fair share Of the slop. At the ordinary
trough the stronger pigs will drive the
weaker ones of and they fail to get
enough food to keep up their growth.
A trough designed to accommodate
eight small pigs is eight-cornered and

Sheep in the Black Hills.

Sheepmen are fiocking to the Black
Hills section Of South Dakota. 1t Is
estimated that the wool clip for this
season will amount to nearly half a
million pounds of wool for the south
ern Black Hills districts. Nearly as
many Angora goats are going in as
sheep. These animals have thrived
better than expected on the buffalo
grass of the Hills ranges, and since
Angora wool is worth twice as much as
common wool there is much money in
the Angora.
