mo figuring has yet been perfected

factors enter into the latter PROPOSE

so, with much less or greater degree
In ordinary firing that has so far been

fore reliable range tables could be
compiled and used in firing at air
craft.
Owing to the speed at which air
craft can travel. the problem of ac-
curate firing at them would be consid-
erably more difficult, but this self
same speed would likewise make 1t
difficult for persons in the air craft to
hurl projectiles and strike the objects

kind of ordnance with any degree of

Sheep Husbandry,

The writer has recently received a
letter bearing upon wool conditions
in this country from 4 gentleman in
an Eastern State, who is one of the
highest authorities upon wool grow
ing and distribution, and whose ad-
vice is frequently sought by Con-
gressional committees when matters
are pending concerning wool in sheep
districts of this country. He takes
occasion in this letter to say that he
is at loss to understand why, with
the development of the South along
Industrial lines generally, and the
evident enterprise that is being dis
played, that the growing of wool is
not promoted to 4 greater extent. He
also states that, in his opinion, the
large bulk of the best woods in this
country can and should be grown
south Of Washington.
This man has stated general condi-
tions so correctly that am influenced
by his opinion, and fully agree with
him. The writer does not undertake
to understand how the sheep industry
may interfere with other conditions

New York City.-Major-Ge ].
Franklin Bell, former chief of stan Of
the United States Army, who is on a
leave of absence, will take
command of the Philippines division
OF the army, sailing on December 5
from San Francisco. Asked his opin-
ion concerning the probable utility
Of flying machines from the point of
view of the soldier, General Bell
said:
For transporting considerable
weight 1t would seem probable that
dirigible balloons might be more val
liable in war than heavier-than-air-
machines, yet they are subject to a
serious drawback in making headway
against wind blowing at a consider
able rate. The whole science is still
In such state of development that
only experiment can work it out.
However, those who will bear in mind
the numerous difficulties which have
been overcome by modern motor We
be inclined to believe that heavier
than-air-machines will in the next
few years be sufficiently developed to
make them reliable in navigating the
air except in wind currents which can
be properly classified as storms.
War Aeroplanes in a Decade.
ITO just what extent heavier-than-
air machines can be utilized in carry
ing weight it is, of course, impossible
to foresee. But I have personally no
doubt that aeroplanes will be perfect
ed in the course of ten years at the
most, II not in five, that may be relied
upon to carry from three to five per-
sons, and possibly a small amount of
explosives in addition.
by the time this comes about ord
nance for the purpose of destroying

designed to control the trajectory Of
such ordnance will also have been de-
veloped. 1t should be understood that

PRACTICAL ADVICE ABOUT
DIVERSIFIED FARMING

on the farm, nor how, from an eco
nomic standpoint, other interests Of
the farmer may be prejudiced by It,
but he knows that there is a large
profit in the sheep industry, and is
certain Of this from his own knowl-
edge, and from the experiences of
this and many successful sheep grow
ers In this and adjoining States with
whom he has conferred, and exam
tned their figures as to costs and re-
suits. We all know that climatic and
soil conditions favor us largely in
the direction Of sheep growing to ad-
vantage. II we take the States of
Virginia, West Virginia and North
Carolina into consideration, we find
that sheep can be fed with les av.
pense than probably in any OTHER
States in this country, and that ,am1s

earlier date than it is possoble for tas
western States to accomplish, tho
by securing the highest prices. ..r
which lambs are sold in the eagl-
spring. The woods from the three
States mentioned, especially the GIsl
two, have attained high repu a'ion
with manufacturers because of .Gc!r
light condition. and this is proven by
the fact that Virginia and West Vir-
ginia woods are to-day sold at as high
prices as any American woods which
go to market. The writer Is prompted
to bring these facts to the attention of
the farmers in the several States with
the view Of having them take larger
interest in sheep husbandry, and of
promoting the wool industry in this
section. Nature has favored us in
every respect, and If we fail to be en-
terprising enough to take advantage
Of the conditions, which naturally are
placed before us. then we must surely
be lacking in progressive spirit. We
should have more sheep, more lambs,
and more wool, and we do not doubt
that any farmer who has flock of
fifty or more sheep, and keeps a rec
ord OF costs and receipts, will readily
ascertain the large profits that he is
getting out Of his sheep, and the i'm
provement Of the land. which sheep
invariably produce. We are farming
scientifically along other lines, and
we must care for sheep in the proper
way to get the best results, and We
should endeavor in the several States
in this section to promote the sheep
industry, and use those methods of
caring for sheep and keeping them
in good condition that are applied in
the Middle-Western States to good ad-
vantage. / write this article with
the view of bringing about an agita-
tion on sheep and wool growing, and
believe that it would be a good plan,
at no far-distant day, to endeavor to
bring together in a large meeting.
