POULTRY NOTES.

Eggs should be regularly collected
at least twice daily.
light placed In roosting quarters
will keep the ducks quiet at night
1t is now time to be thinking Of
getting the poultry houses ready for
winter.
Grain should be fed the poultry at
night. as 1t remains in the crop the
longest. aL
The houses should be thoroughly
cleaned and then coated with thick
whitewash.
Clean. dry quarters with plenty OF
fresh air is as important as the kind
of ration to feed laying hens in win
ter.
Keep the hens In the best possible
condition, clean houses often, feed
carefully of good. clean feed. spray
for mites and lice, and you will be
as apt as anybody to get eggs.
Do not suffer your ducks to shift for
themselves. picking up what food
they can steal from the cows and
swine. and then expect them to be fit
as fiddle as breeders when February
comes.
1t is more difficult to Judge the age
of water fowls than of other poultry.
partly from absence of spurs, partly
from greater longevity, and partly be-
cause the water keeps their legs soft
and fresh.
1t is surprising how soon the little
Brown Leghorns learn to use their
wings. When hardly half-grown they
will be found roosting in the leafy
branches of an apple tree near their
deserted coop.
Ducks that are kept for breeding
purposes should not be fed on a fat
tening ration. SO as to weaken them
by too much forcing. The breeders
should be kept separate from those
that are fed for market
For a drinking vessel use tin can.
Make a hole one-quarter of an inch
from the top, in the side, fill with wa
ter. put saucer on it and quickly
invert both; water will stand in the
saucer and will feed down as fast as
the chicks drink 1t.

Modern submarine boats are of two types. the
submerged and the submergble. The submerged
when in light cruising condition moves with only
a small percentage of the hull above the water;
the submergibe cruises the surface much
like ordinary torpedo boat. which 1t resembles
externally. The difference in principle between
the Two types is slight but in construction de-
tails II is very marked The submerged boats
are usually nearly cylindrical with pointed ends,
the general shape being much like that of a
Whitehead torpedo. Submergence is effected by
admitting water to the ballast tanks by means
Of inclined rudders. both Submergible boats
have two bulls. one inside the other. The outer
hull resembles closely that OF the ordinary tor
pedo boat but has as few projections as possible
rising from the general outline. In order TO pre-
sent smooth surface when submerged. Inside
this there Is second hull of nearly circular
cross-section and large as the shape of the
outer boat permits. To effect submergence water
first admitted to the space between the bulls,
and this brings the boat to the "awash" condi
ton Further submergence is effected by permit.

said that Alexander the Great interested In
submarine navigation, while subaqueous attacks
of vessels studied at least early as the
thirteenth or fourteenth century. NJ. Delpeuch
states that some English ships destroyed
In 1872 by fire carried under water. In the
early part OF the seventeenth century submarine
boats were numerous. and In 1924 Cornelius Van
Drebbel exhibited to King James l. on the
Thames a submarine boat of his own design BY
1927 less than fourteen types of submarines
had been patented in England alone. In 1774
Day began experiments with submarine boat
at Plymouth. England, losing his life in the
second submergence trial. In the following year
David Bushnell built his first boat with which
Sergeant Lee attacked Fl. NJ. s. Eagle in New
York harbor Lee actually got under the ship.

English submarines of about the same size
the Salmon. which made the coastwise from
Dover to Dundee. a distance Of 512 miles. and the
famous performance OF the French submarine
Papn. which occasion made a cruise of
loo miles However, this French achievement
is overshadowed by the Salmon's cruise because
not only was the distance Of the latter much
greater but II was open performance,
whereas the Papin cruised along the coast and,
finally. the French vessel is much larger than

is OF but 800 tons displacement
The Salmon. alike to most OF the submarines
which have lately been added to the United
States navy. is a development OF the original
Holland type of submarine which first gave the
Americans the lead in this class of shipbuilding.
The Salmon is 1876 feet in length by Il feet beam
and is a twinscrew boat. being driven the
surface by two gasoline engines Of 300 horse
power each and propelled when submerged by
electrical power supplied from storage batteries.
BY way of fulfilling her mission of destruction
the little vessel has four torpedo tubes equipped
to fire the latest type of torpedo-that is. a tor
pedo II feet in length and is inches In diameter.
having a radius of 1000 yards and carrying
explosive charge of 200 pounds OF guncotton. On
her cruise to Bermuda the Salmon carried
crew of 81 men. but II was demonstrated this
cruise that under actual service conditions such
n submarine can be operated. In SO far navi-
CATION is concerned. by FIVE men-two on the
bridge and three in the engine room.
The Salmon is capable OF a speed Of Il knots
per hour when running awash or on the surface
of the water and IL knots per hour when running
wholly submerged Only three minutes is
quired to change from surface running by gaso-
line engines to submerged running by electrical
power. The vessel has. on trial. Owed to depth
of more than 200 feet without any sign of strain

The battle of the dairy breeds still
goes on. but the views regarding the
utility of the breeds and their adapta-
ton are becoming more sane. 1t is
now coming to be more and more rec.
ognized that there is a place for all
the breeds of dairy cows and that the
place is not quite the same for each.

Why He Wouldn't Pay.

The conductor on a Dorchester car
was very hot and tired and his car
was so crowded he had hard work col
lecting the fares; SO when he came
along and saw man standing on the
running board and little three-year-
old child occupying an end seat near
him, he said combatively: You'll
have to give me fare for that little
girl"
I'm sorry," said the man calmly,
"but refuse to do it"
A heated argument followed, during
which the conductor demanded his
rights and the man calmly refused. At
last the latter said, with laugh: "One
reason why I won't pay for the child
is that she is not mine and she is
not with me."-Boston Record.

The weeder is very useful tool in
the cultivation of potatoes when prop
erly used. 1t should be run crosswise
OF the rows after each cultivation as
long as the size Of the plants will
permit. 1t helps to pulverize the sur
face and destroys any of the weeds in
the rows where they cannot be reach
ed with the cultivator. thus making
hand hoeing less necessary. Some
growers continue to use the .weeder

plants are too large to permit run

of the teeth from directly over the

ELECTRIC POWER FOR FARMS
Much Of Future Work Of Irrigation
Will Be Done by Pamplns-Eiec-
trlcity Most Suitable.

In many sections of the western
states demand has recently sprung
up for power on the farms, which Is

attractive from load standpoint that
1t promises to Justify for its. satisfac-
ton very large expenditure on the
part Of service companies. ! refer to
the use of electric power for irriga-
ton purposes, writes Herman Russell
in Field and Farm. All over the west

and private company undertakings are
now supplying water in this way for
thousands OF acres. Individual farm
ers. wherever electric power can be
obtained, are installing pumping out

obtaining water at very reasonable
cost when they want 1t and where
they want TIA condition not always
reached with gravity systems.
1t Is clear to any one who has stud
led the irrigation development in the
west that much of the future irriga-
ton work will be done by the aid Of
pumping and that electricity is the
most suitable power for this purpose.
Suitable gravity systems have been
quickly seized and developed to their
practical limits, and the combination
of natural conditions that go to insure
the successful gravity system, such as
a sufficient supply of water at suitable
elevation and within easy reaching
distance OF good farming lands. is at
best very limited. Most of these have
been or are already being developed.
The electric development for irri-
CATION pumping is proceeding in two
ways: Either large pumping plant
suitably located Ia installed and all the
water for given acreage Is pumped
at this point to a higher level and
then distributed by gravity-the pow
err used being electric. with either
steam or hydraulic generation; or.
