tracts, ten in number, established in
as many sections of the state and
operated under instructions of agricul-
tural college experts; spreading the
most advanced ideas of farming, are
the novel innovation which will follow
the sessions of the third annual meet
ing of the Minnesota Federation of
Commercial Clubs.
These model farms, ten acres each
in extent, are to be furnished by the
various commercial clubs, acting in
conjunction with the farmers. The
crops are to be sown under the direc-
ton Of the farm school experts, with
farmers from the entire section in at
tendance. Meetings are to be held
in towns, following the actual work
in the field, at which the farmers will
be privileged to ask any questions
which present themselves. Similar
gatherings will attend each new step
as the harvest progresses, the crop.
Committee in Charge.
A committee was appointed to look
after the details Of the scheme and to
consult with the state far mschool au-
thorities, as follows: A. G.. Nortz,
Breckenridge; E. H. Helms, Renville;
John Stone Pardee, Duluth, and Allan
Ferbush, Osakis.
Development Of the states water
power, proper rotation of crops, con-
servation of the coal supply and the
more extensive use of peat for fuel
purposes, better roads, industrial train
ing in schools, better public SANTA
ton, the planting of trees on barren
land, and a closer relationship between
the various classes of people Of the
state-all were advocated by Governor
Eberhart in his address on "Conser-

Cook will yet come to Copenhagen

on one of the largest lathes ever built. Later
the breech mechanism Is attached From
technical standpoint the lathe work and. kin
dred operations may be considered the mOst
important operations In connection with tho
construction Of the 14-inch gun. To indicate
the scope Of this work it may be cited that
one Of the cutting tools in going from end to
end Of Jacket hoop travels IL miles and
requires Sc hours for the operation. An ex'
tension must needs be provided to enable the
largest lathe at the naval gun factory to &C.
commodate the 14inch gun, but with such ex.
tension provided there are several lathes. at
the big plant any Of which are capable OF
handling this new size weapon.
Extreme accuracy in fashioning the tube OF
the 14inch gun is essential since the general
efficiency OF the gun is dependent upon the
uniform diameter of this foundation tube, upon
which in due course the layers Of hoops and
bands are shrunk. The tube contains first the
entire bore in which the big projectile will
travel a distance of 542 inches ere it leaves
the muzzle of the gun. This bore should not
be more than two one-thousandths of an inch
out of straight line II 1t is to meet require
ments and it is fitted with 81 rifing grooves,
which decrease in width as they approach
the muzzle and the purpose of which is to i'm
part to the projectile a rotary motion that
will prevent the missile from turning length
wise In flight and thus losing its force. Sec.
ondly, the tube contains the powder chamber.
In the new 14inch gun the capacity Of the
chamber Is 15,848 cubic inches. being designed
to accommodate the 365 pounds of smokeless
powder which will constitute the full service
charge of the new weapon.
Interesting as is the construction of the
new gun, it will be equaled by the Importance
of the tests Of the monster shooting iron" at
the Indian Head proving grounds. 1t has been
figured that a projectile fired with a full
charge, will have penetrative power at the
muzzle OF more than % inches of the latest
krupp steel armor. At 5000 yards range the
projectile could pierce armor IS inches in
thickness. and at 5000 yards the penetration
would embrace everything up to Krupp armor
12h inches in thickness. At 5000 yards, an
extreme battle range, the penetration will be
In excess of IL inches. which is the thickness
OF the heaviest armor on modern battleships.

gun tests at Indian Head ere the army is ready
to try out the first of it's new heavy-hitters at
Sandy Hook N. ]:
For the purpose of comparative tests the
war department is constructing one of tho five
14-inch guns above mentioned as wire-wonnd
piece, but the other four are built up in &C.
cordance with the usual plan Of conceAtric
cylinders assembled by shrinkage. This In tho
practice likewise in the case of the new laval
gun. The army Is already firmly committed
to the 14-inch gun and congress has authorized
the construction OF four such weapons in addi-
ton to the five already mentioned, but work
on them has not been commenced.
1t is the claim Of Brig.-Gen. William Gro
zier, the very progressive chief of ordnance of
the United States army, that the 14irch gun
is vastly superior to-the Pinch gun which it
and harbors where the highest power is re-
quired. He claims that the army's new A.
inch guns will be capable of firing a greater
number Of rounds than the 12-inch guns, mas
much as the same striking force can be i'm
parted to the projectile with less velocity
Rear Admiral N. E. Mason, chief ct ordnance
OF the navy, who has personal supervision over
the construction of the first 14-irch gun for
the navy, has not yet come out so unuuali-
dedly in favor Of the heavier ordnance as has
his confrere OF the army, but Admiral Masons
verdict after the tests will be awaited with
great interest, for there Is NO officer in the

are but the forerunners of yet more impor-

1t Is the desire of the bureau of ordnance of

possible to handle all classes of breechloading
rifles up to 17-inch. OF course there are no

every likelihood that the 14-inch gun
will make its appearance in the equip
ment of the heaviest of our new battle
ships. Indeed it is stated that the
board of naval construction has al
ready prepared plans for two different
types Of battleships, each design call
ing for main battery of eight 14-inch
guns.
In the construction of this initial
14-inch gun for the navy there has
been, as Is customary with all our ma
val ordnance, cooperation between a
private mandatory and the govern
ment ordnance plant The naval gun
factory at Washington does not include
foundry, although congress has been
urged several times in recent years to
provide this adjunct so that heavy ord
nance could be constructed complete
under government auspices. The pres
ent limitations make it necessary to
procure gun castings from private
firms and finish them at the navy de-
partment shops. This procedure is be-
Ing followed in the case of the 14-inch
gun. The contract for the assembled
