were unable TO be of any material
benefit The new submarine emer-
gcncy jacket is unlike the ordinary
diving suit. in that it requires no air
supplies from outside sources and Will
not weigh person down to the bot
TOM but rather Will aid in his ascent.
This emergency jacket is being tested
out at the present time in Boston and
if the tests prove satisfactory there
will undoubtedly be later tests under
government supervision.
1t is the aim of the inventors OF
this jacket to have them placed in all
submarine boats so that II an accident
should occur each member could
quickly adjust his suit and after re-
leasing raft from the submarine
these men would ascend TO the tcp
end wait for rescuers or could pro-
pei themselves to shore. This Will
eliminate the greatest danger in sub
marine navigation and be the means
of saving many lives.
The Ogden standard. [volume] (Ogden City, Utah) 1902-1910, 1909-01-13

Again the mother of invention has
brought forth life saving device
which may work wonders in the world
of submarine navigation. The sub
marine boat is no longer an expert
ment II is now possible 10 travel
hundreds of miles at rapid rate un-
derneath the water. But there Is
always the element of danger in this
which is not apparent in any other
form of transportation, unless it be
the airship.
The principal danger is in the facr
that machinery may give out or Il
leak may occur whereby the boat may
be permanently submerged and all
ihc occupants drowned.
The history of the submarine is
filed with like instances Many brave
men have lost their lives in this way.
Ii frequently has happened that the
boats have gone down within sight o.

SHEEP ON THE HILL LANDS.
Certain Breeds Are Especially Adapted
to Rough COunry-fOw to Raise

CBy Professor J. J. Hooper. Kentucky
Experiment Station.)
The number of sheep in the United
States is decreasing, while the con-
sumption of mutton is increasing and
as a result we find sheep commanding
a high price. 1t is not at all imprOb-
able that these high prices Will con-
tinue for a long number of years.
Farmers now understand that there
is money in sheep and they are IN
quiring how they can best start q
flock.
Every farmer who has any grazing
land can profitably raise some sheep.
Hilly pasture land is in abundance
in many sectiOnS-hillS that have not
been cleared of their timber; and there
are millions of acres of such land
which will afford good browsing fol
sheep or Angora goats.
For hilly lands l can recommend
any of the Down breeds-Southdowr
| and Shropshires. The Lecesters or
Lincolns would probably do we'll il
| the level fertile sections.
Ny advice is not to engage in the
sheep business at all unless YOU car
| give the sheep the care and attention
which they demand. They will no
thrive unless they are looked aftel

The foreman frequently thinks his

that he has furnished the material for

All material should be brought up

A split log drag should be used q
fill in ruts and smooth the road when
not too badly washed.
The drag possesses great merit and
is SO simple in construction and Ope-
ration that every farmer should have
one.
In regions having fairly dry sum-

provements and new construction
should be done in the spring, while
the earth is moist enough to pac]z

Unless a sprinkler and liberal
suppIy of water are available 1t is
bad practice to disturb the earth roads
materially during the summer or all
after they have become compacted BY
dry weather and traffic.
