Largest AirShip Ever Built.

1.-The airship in which we propose
to attain the North pole will be the
largest practicable airship ever built.
1t will be 1876 feet long. and its great
est diameter will be 40 feet. It's sur
face will measure $4,000 square feet
and its volume will be 100000 cubic
feet. Inflated with hydrogen it will
have a total occasional force of 10.
800 pounds. Seven thousand pounds
will he the weight of the ship and its
equipment complete, leaving 5000
pounds for cargo. The ship will be
provided with three motors with a
combined energy of 20 horsepower.
If the winds hinder no more than
they help and there are no delays this
ship can motor from North Spitzber-
gen in 40 hours. The airship will have
an endurance capacity in buoyancy
sufficient to enable it to remain 20 to
30 days in the air. 1t will carry ). 800
pounds of gasoline. and its distance
capacity during calm weather will be
eighteen miles more than equal to the
distance from Spitzbergen straight
across the pole and the whole arctic
ocean to Alaska.

No definite date has yet been decided

In announcing his acceptance of the

said:
eff I did not believe that the
chances of success We're greater than
those of failure. | would not accept
the commission.
Mr.. Noyes acted upon no sudden
within or impulse when he gave me
the order to try to locate the much
sought North Pole. as he hadb efore
him a report which l had submitted
to him as the outcome of two visits to
the ineer polar regions; of years of
studyof the problem of the pole of
many months of special investigation
of airship construction and naviga-
ton. the wind and climatic conditions
to be encountered. and all the multi
tudinOus mechanical and meteorolog-
ical factors involved. In this investt-
igation scores of eminent experts and
specialists We're consulted. voluimnous
reports were received and finally a
complete. symmetrical and at least
promising project was evolved by me
as representing seemingly practicable
combination of the latest development
OF many of the arts for accomplishing
the result in view.
THE problem of reaching the pole
by means of an airship does not re.
quire high speed. and the present rate
of the art of aerial navigation by gas
buOyed and motor driven ships is am
pie for that purpose. From an easily
reached base of operations in North
ern Spitzbergen we have but $50 geo
graphical miles to go to the pole. and
a like distance for the retrun voyage
If we take the whole at 1.2OO miles. il
means but 100 hours of motoring at 1:
miles an hour. Santos Dumont has

Strlnuy Milk,

Now and then farmer is puzzled
at the appearance of stringiness in the
milk a few hours after 1t is drawn
He at once imagines that the COW
Is sick or that some certain COW has
given this milk and begins a hunt fol
her. Sometimes the stringiness Is
due to case of garget, but in most
cases 1t Is due to less important
causes. There are certain growths
of minute nature, found sometimes
in the pastures but often In the hay,
that produce this stringiness. There
is only one way of getting rid of It,
and that Is by excessive care when
the milk is drawn. Generally the
trouble begins with the stirring III
of the hay before milking, and the
filling of the air around the COW with
vast number of particles that have
In them the power of development
In developing in the milk these at
tach themselves one to the other and
make the white strings so annoying
When the thing occurs persistently IL
the stable, 1t is probable that these
spores exist in great numbers In the
hay. We can only advise In such
cases that the hay be not given the
cows until after the milk Is drawn ane
taken away.

When 10 Aerate MIX,

For great many years an opinion
prevailed that the aeration OF milk
was q necessity 1t was believed that
In the milk was some kind of an AMI
NAL odor that could only be taken out
by exposing the milk to the air. In
the factories where the cream was
handled for butter-making or milk for
cheese-making, large aerators were
used In some cases. More often. how
ever, this was done In bottling plants
that supplied milk to adjacent cities.
The milk was run over coils in which
circulated brine or Ice water. On the
farms the acration was done by taking
the milk out of doors and pouring II
from one pail to another or stirring
1t with great ladle. While aeration
is stifl practiced to some extent. II Is
not practiced to the extent 1t used to
be. Especially Is this true on the
FARMS Among the better class of but.
ter-makers there is at the present time
about as much opinion against aera-
ton OF milk as there is for 1t. The
old idea Of animal odor in the milk
has about been dissipated, and 1t Is
concluded by some of the deepest
thinkers and experimenters that the
so-called animal doors were impurities
arising from outside sources. When
the milk is properly protected from all
Impurities, there is no danger of there
being animal odor in the milk. There.
fore the need of aeration does not eX-
list. We believe, however, that ia
some cases milk should be aerated,
because we are conscious OF the fact
that in many stables odors do get into
the milk. Milk absorbs doors, as do
many other kinds of food products
II We believe that odors have beer
taken into the milk and there is &
good place in which to aerate the
milk, 1t should be aerated. The win
ter season gives purer air for this thar
the summer season.

Hors TERRIBLE ECZEMA.

Mouth and Eyes Covered With Crusts
Hands Pinned Down-MlracuIous
Cure by cutIcura.
when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at o1ce called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor,
bit he could not help him. and in our
despair we went to third one. Mat
tiers became so bad that he had regu-
lar holes In his cheeks large enough
to put finger into. The food had to
be given with spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
q finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest, and back, In short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid In his bed. we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make an
open sore. / think his face must have
itohed most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help. and had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-

cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,

Increasing the ECO Yield.


We have found it somewhat difficult
to increase the egg yield per hen.
though we have taken a great deal OF
pains in the matter. With iust farm
flock 1t is not possible to use some OF
the devices that can be used by the
men that make speciality Of poultry
raising and have men always at hand
to do any kind of work required. There
Is. the trap nest. 1t serves to show
how many eggs hen will lay and
when she lays them. but 1t is Of no use
to talk about using that kind OF an
arrangement on the farm, for the rea-
son that people are too busy to attend
to 1t. We can't keep the children at
home from school to watch the hens
and let them out of their prison when
they have laid an egg.
However, am certain that the trap
nests are only approximately correct.
They only show what eggs the hens
lay in the trap nests. was visiting
rot long ago an establishment where
they use trap nests. asked the man
ager what was done with the eggs
that were dropped outside of the trap
nests, and he said those did not count
Some hens will lay only in certain
nest, and when they cannot have &C
cess to that nest on account of some
other hen being there, they simply
drop their eggs where they can. The
/, trap nests increase the number o.
eggs dropped. 1t may be that some
of the hens that have failed to reach 9
certain standard laid their eggs else
where than in the trap nests. ! thinl
the trap nests are great help to the
person that has enough leisure to lool
after them, but do not think that the,

Hrcome lighter from generation to

lies to all fowls. The original
Buff Cochins doubtless hold their
color very well, but many of the
newer breeds have white in their
make up. that is, the ancestors Of
these buff birds have many Of them
been white birds, which will explain
the tendency of the buff birds to
change to white. II is probably true
that the buff color will remain in the
