squadron recently held the impress
sive ceremony of transferring
commanders-in-chi on the re-
tirement of Rear Admiral John

1t was an impressive and pa
thetic scene. When the hour
for the transfer arrived the Off
GERS and crew of the flagship
were drawn up in formation on
the afterdeck of the cruiser. at the
halyards of the aft topmast stood
Flag Lieut.. Milne of Admiral
Hubbard's staff ready to give the
signal for the lowering of his supe-
rior's ensign. AS Admiral Hub
bard, followed by Admiral Muir
dock, came from below, the band
played and the gray-haired COM
mander-in-chief passed down the
starboard deck, passing the mar
ines with rifles at present arms,
then crossing to the port side,
where the ships officers had
formed, he shook hands with each
one, saying word of farewell. In
turn Admiral Murdoch paid his
greetings to each of the officers,
then both of the admirals, stand
ing near the stern of the ship,
faced forwards, Admiral Murdoch

miral Hubbard. At word of
command the guns of the Saratoga
belched forth thirteen shots in
honor of the retiring admiral,
which were echoed by the Albany
and New Orleans. AS the smoke
, If the firing cleared away, the sig
nal for the lowering of the retir-
ing admiral's ensign was given,
alowly, to the notes of a martial
air, Admiral Hubbard watched his
flag descend-marking the termi-
nation of his active career as a
member of the United States navy.
The next moment, to the quick
ening tune of another martial air,
the flag of Admiral Murdoch was
raised to the Saratoga's masthead
followed again by the rear admi-
rails salute of the Saratogas guns
and those of the Albany and New
Orleans, this time in honor of the
new commander-in-chief of the
Asiatic squadron.
Following the firing of the last
salutes, cutters from the Albany
and New Orleans brought their re-
spective commanders aboard the
Saratoga to pay their respects to
the two admirals, and Rear Ad-
miral Hubbard, in civilians

hills It ia usually advisable to 30
around rather than to gp over them,
at least where this can be done, and
thus avoid a sleeper grade. There is
also this objection to cuts and fills
that it brings up a coil that In not
good for road making and one that
washes easily, and the expense OF cut
ting down hills Is usually greater than
would be the cost of buying a right
of-way around the hfl and thus avoid
the grade. Railroad engineers viii
make considerable curves In the roads
in order to avoid grades, and they
have the problem very carefully
studied out and they will oftentimes
make a detour Of a good many miles
in order to avoid a grade.
Having to haul the produce from
the farm to the market W q poor
road adds to the cost Of production,
and again a good road that can be
depended on in all seasons brings the
farmers several miles nearer town
and 1t also increases the value OF the
land considerably. as the buyer will
pay quite a bit more for land that he
can reach with a good road than for
land that is hard to reach on account
Of poor roads, due either to steep
grades or to the poor quality of the
roadbed.
The main thing in a e country,
however, is getting the roads laid out
in the right place, as 1t Is not an easy
matter to change them after they
have once been established and money
expended on them.

LIVESTOCK T

Colts are worth money.
Timothy hay is a dangerous feed
for sheep.
Provide some succulent feed for
ewes in winter.
Remember there is no profit in a
poorly kept animal.
The sanitation Of the piggery should
be guarded carefully.
Do all in your power to insure q
large crop Of lambs. !
Sows 3 years old average betwixt
and between the old and young
mothers. =.
To prevent thumps, e that the
sows are not fed too much while the
pigs are young. y
For intestinal worms in hogs a mix
ture Of charcoal and hardwood ashes
with a little salt is recommended.
There is still money in horses, in
spite of the popularity Of the automo-
bile with farmers.
Every farmer who raises stock in
quantity should equip his barn yard
with a dipping tank. I
The spring months seem to afford
the best opportunities for rapid gains
with cattle.
The young ows average a little
over seven pigs, while the old ones
bring forth thirty per cent more.
If the ewes do not furnish enough
milk, It is all right to use cows milk,
but It must be furnished sweet. warm
and clean, in moderate amounts. !.
Watch for lice on the hogs and
spray them thoroughly with n Of
the prepared dips, If they are found
to be infested.
Use skim milk freely in the ration
for young pigs. It's a great feed for
them and they make remarkable
gains on 1t. I.
Alfalfa is not a fattening feed so
much as a f~1esh-forming one, and there
is little waste to it, Is the stock
seems to relish stalks as well az
leaves.

Number Of Hens to Cock.

In this matter there Is no set rule;
much depends upon the vigor of the
cock. If the fowls are running at
large o1.s cock to Is or 20 hens Ia
about right for the small, active
breeds, while for the heavier breeds
10 or Is hens will be sufficient. II
the fowls are confined in small runs
the number of hens should be re-
duced. If two pens Of fowls are kept
it is a good plan to have three cocks,
SO one may be placed in a small coop
for one day and fed highly to be re-
placed next day by n of the other
cocks. In this way each Of the cocks
is allowed to ~recuperate every third
day, thus keeping up his strength and
vigor. 1t is generally advised to mate
cockerels with old hens and cocks
with pullets, but it seems this advice
has never been based upon carefully
performed experiments.
