How a Submarine Dives.

From Harper Weekly.
All submarine vessels are brought to
a condition Of readiness to submerge
by taking in water ballast in suitably
arranged and controlled tanks This
causes more OF the BOAT TO sink below
the waters surface, and finally leaves
her with only a small part OF her con-
ming our out Of water. The remain
ing part above water represents what
is called reserve b~uoyancy." This
~buoyancy varies generally from 200 to
!, 900 pounds, depending upon the size
of the craft; and 1T is to overcome the
permanent tendency to rise represented
by this reserve hat pressure Is brought
to bear upon the submerging rudders
or the hydroplanes I'm order to make the
boat sink after she is once put In mo-
ton.
Now, the amount of water that must
be taken into a submarine vessel to
bring her body sufficiently below the
surface for readiness to dive consti-
tute n of the w prime distinctions
between the submarine and the SUBJ
mersible. In the submarine only from
5 per cent to IL per cent of her total
submerged bulk lies above the surface
when she is IN her lightest condition,
and, accordingly, nearly that percent
age Of water alias must be pumped
into her tanks to bring her down TO the
required condition preparatory 10 run-
ming submerged. In a submersible, on
the other hand, two, three and even
four times this percentage of water
ballast must be pumped into her tanks
in order to reduce the vessels reserve
of buoyancy so that she nay be forci-
bly, made 10 sink out Of sight. 1t is
the height out of water or reserve OF
buoyancy OF the submersible which
gives her her superior sea-keeping
qualities. which permits the vessel to
be driven safely on the surface at high
eT rates OF speed. and which contrib
utes in other ways 10 the efficiency, the
habitability, and the military value of
the craft

STOCKING THROUGH HOGS.

An Iowa subscriber writes Wallace s
Farmer that he has a large number or
spring pigs and quite a number of last
years pigs left on account of the poor
WELD of corn, has plenty Of blue grass
and prairie sod, and 100 acres in clover,
which he would like to save for hay.
He wishes to nov what has been u
experience IN carrying through hogs on
grass.
We would not advise carrying hogs
through exclusively on grass for the
simple reason that they a not pos
sibly hold enough of 1t to give them
much Over a maintenance ration. Grass
is from 50 TO 80 per cent water, Hogs
have been carried through on our North
Platte farms exclusively on alfalfa, but
the rate of growth is very slow. Glover
should be of about the same general
character as alfalfa, but not quite so
good.
spoIldent to take part OF his clover
meadow for a hog pasture, IL possible,
and feed them some corn at the sa.ne
time. AS early as the frost was out
of the ground he should have sown
some rape, which by this time would
have been high enough TO turn In on.
BY the time oats are harvesed or even
I'm the dough stage he ear feed them
oats. and he should have some of the
earliest variety of corn possible in order
TO carry them through.
In short, no matter what the price OF
corn, we would feed some corn TO young
hogs until corn of this years growing
is o~btainable. 1t is only a question of
about 80 days, or 60 If oats are fed. and
q pound or two of corn per head a
day will not amount TO very much, even
at a high price.
We called the attention OF our read
ers this spring to the possibility OF their
being short of grain during the sum-
me- season, and urged them TO prepare
for II by sowing rape and a patch of
early corn and utilize clover pasture.
The Missouri experiment station con-
Quoted an experiment recently TO which
we have made previous reference; but
the facts elected may have some bear
ing on this problem. They fed diff
ferent lost OF hogs as follows: Corn
meal and middlings, corn meal and al
falfa, corn meal ~ clover, corn meal
and blue grass, corn meal and skim
milk. With corn meal and middlings
IT required SIS pounds OF grain to make
one pound of gain; with corn meal and
alfalfa. 4.01 pounds; with corn meal
and clover, 4.35 pounds; with corn meal
and blue grass, 5.31 pounds OF grain TO
make q pound OF gain.
These figures show the vast superior
ity of alfalfa n clover pasture In con-
nection with corn as a feed for hogs.
They show also that alfalfa Is superior
TO clover, but not so much so as one
might expect. The hogs on corn meal
and middllngs cost $4.0T for every 100
pounds OF gain when corn was worth
40 cents "A bushel and shipstuff $1S a
ton; or corn meal and alfalfa, $500:
on corn meal and clover, $3.25; on corn
meal and blue grass, 1896: and on
corn meal and skimmilk. $3.50. If the
farmer can eel 100 pounds of gain
with corn meal and clover for $3.25
when corn is worth 40 cents a bushel,
it will be seen that he can afford to
pay wen the present price of corn and
still make pork at a profit.

do not propose to have that condition
exist upon Coteau farm. We have
made study of these restless
creatures and find that unless they
have attention like that which a
trained nurse could give, their noise
would not be stopped. This bleating
with them does not mean a lack of
food, water or care, but is sn express
sion of a restlessness OF the spirit
which dwells within them. We make
1t rule to get rid Of such animals
as soon as possible. Sometimes we
can fatten them, more often not. Rest.
lessness and fattening do not usually
come together. We always consider
that such an animal Is a burden TO
