Prof. Willis Moore Now in
London Pushing Plan for an
International Service.

LONDON. June 12.-The first formal
step In the campaign fer the establish
ment OF an International weather and
storms bureau has been taken here by
Prof. Willis Moore, Chief of the United
States Weather Bureau. In sreaking of
his plan F~of. Moore, saidw:
IF the plan is adopted. so far as
storms are concerned. tho crossing OF
the Atlantic will be made as safe as a
street car journey. Great ocean liners
which have but little to fear from any
thing except the most destructive gale
may by altering their course on receipt
of the warning by fifty miles or more
escape a rough passage, while the small
or steamers and sailing ships by making
wide detour may escape possible de-
struction."
Prof. Moore outlined the plan at q
luncheon given him by DIR. william

vice. and the scientific staff of the Lon
don Meteorological Station. Prof. Moore
has carried Tire fight for the adoption OF
the plan into the International Radio

IL DROWNED IN SUBMARINE
British Vessel, Rammed by Gunboatr
Sinks Instantly. Carrying All of
Crew to the Bottom.

Portsmouth, Eng.-Another of the
unfortunate class "A-3" submarines
of the British navy, two of which had
sunk previously and on board two
others of which various members of
their crew had been killed or injured
in explosions, went to the bolt N Of
the sea on Friday at the entrance to
Spit Head, with a loss of fourteen
lives-four Iieutenants and ten mem
bers of the crew. Not one of the
ships company escaped.
The catastrophe was the result of
a collision with the British gunboat
Hazard, which rent a hole in the side
of submarine "A-3." The submarine
was just coming to the surface after
a dive when the Hazard struck it.
The submarine filled and sank in
stantly. Plenty of assistance was
speedily at hand, but there was no
chance to save any of the men on
board the "A-3." None of those who
witnessed the disaster will be per
mitted to speak Of it until after the
official inquiry.

The farmer who has a twenty-acre
piece of marsh over in the back
forty" where the cattle Craze when it
is dry enough, frequently feels in
clined to let well enough alone. He,
perhaps, has all the upland he can
conveniently cultivate and feels that
the next generation will have more
time than he to drain the "old marsh"
Since this land yields a slight return
with little or no effort, this lack of en-
terprise is to some extent pardonable
We will let this class of farmers alone,
although as a parting shot let US re-
mind them that a little gumption,
drainage, and brain would make this
wet land as valuable as any of the
upland.
All wet land. however, is not stu
ated like that just described. I have
In mind a wet swale about eight rods
wide, extending almost across an 9th
erwise square forty-acre field. During
the dry season of the year this swale
is plowed. In the following spring
the grain on the upland is sowed
three or four weeks before it is dry
enough to mud in" the seed on the
swale. Some of the seed comes up,
but most of 1t does not. At harvest
time the weedy patch in the hollow
is lodged. Later the weeds on it are
moved and it is pIowed for another
crop" 1t was even harder to plow
and seed and harrow the poorly
drained swale than to do the same
to the well drained upland and it took
just as much seed, with no crop in re-
turn. If better drainage would in
crease the yield to only ten bushels Of
barley per acre, the ten bushels would
be clear profit.
On this particular swale two lines
of tile were laid and in the following
year Zone of excessive rainfall too)
the best stand Of barley on field
that yielded better than forty bushels
to the acre was on this low swaIe

FOUR Of FAMILY
ARE FOUND DEAD
Father and Three Children Vic.
Tins of Tragedy.
INSANITY PROBABLE CAUSE
Outagamie County Farmer Believed
to Have Cut the Threats of His
Children and Shot HimseIf-Jeal-
ousY Given as Cause for Deed.

Appleton.-One of the most sensa-
tional murder mysteries in the his
tory Of Outagamie county became
known when report of the finding of
four bodies, three Of which had cut
Threats and the fourth a bullet
wound in the head, was made to Dis
tTict Attorney Rooney from Bing-
hamton, fifteen miles from Appleton.
The dead, all members of the same
family, are:
LEWIS MAILAHN, aged Sc years,
shot in head
WILLIAM MAILAHN, aged 81
years, throat cut.
DORA MAILAHN, aged 16 years,
throat cut.
JOHN MAILAHN, aged 8 years,
throat cut.
The discovery of the bodies was
made by George Iailahn, aged Is
years, when he returned home from
district school about two miles dis
tant from his home. The little fell
low found his sister lying in a pool
of blood on the kitchen floor. He
informed his brother, Walter, aged
IA, and an older brother.
The opinion is that Lewis MaiIahn
is responsible for the triple murder
and shot himself, though this is not
verified. Lewis Mailahn's body was
found in the barn, that of Dora in
the kitchen, and that of John in the
smokehouse, and Williams body was
found in the smokehoUse.
1t is presumed that the murders
were perpetrated while the victims
were performing their appointed du-
ties about the place. Mailahn is be-
lieved to have murdered his kin in a
fit of jealous insanity.

WHY Moisture Tests
Vary
By PROF. C. E. LEE,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture

6
The taking of a ten gram sample
when the butter is on the trier or ladle
in place Of preparing a two to four
ounce sample will vary the results.
Butter is not a uniform mixture,
consequently one must guard against
pockets of free water.
In preparing the sample do not place
the tightly covered bottle in water
that it above 10 degrees. Take pIen'
ty of time. While the butter is being
rehardened by placing in cold water
the bottle must be thoroughly shaken
at frequent intervals.
The scales must be sensitive and
the weights accurate. The cup or pans
into which the butter is placed and
the ten gram weight must rest on the
center of the scale pans. The 12-bot-
tie cream scale is not intended for the
sensitive weighing that must be done
in testing for water, fat and salt
The ten grams of butter must be
placed into the center of a dry clean
dish Don't scrape it onto the side of
the dish If the butter is placed on
the edge of the cup and part of it is
projecting, accurate results cannot be
expected.
After the water has been driven off,
it matters not by what method, the
dish must be cooled to its original
temperature before it is weighed,
Very few creamery men have a good
place for doing the testing. If the
building is vibrating due to the ma.
chinery being in motion, it will affect
the results.

The two lines of tile, each about six
ty rods long, cost 80 cents a rod or q
total of about 500. On the four
acres of land drained, at least 100
bushels of barley were harvested,
worth this year $3.50, and that was
clear profit. The forty can now be
worked as a unit because there is no
wet land to be lodged. Another
thing: this forty can now be sold for
perhaps $1,000 more than was for
merly possible.
The thirty-three-acre field shown in
the illustration had been pIowed sew
eraI times with no results. Since the
drainage system was installed three
years ago, it has raised three crops of
corn, any one Of which was sufficient
to pay for the cost of the improve
ment. There are not many invest
ments that return a dividend of 100
per cent. each year. This area lies
about four miles northwest Of Lodi in
Columbia county. The open ditch with
a rounded bottom shown in the sec
ton at B was left to aid in the re-
moYal of surface water. Some of the
lines Of tile are three inches in diam
eter and others are four. The outlet
is eight inch tile. The distance be-
tween them is eight rods. At the foot
of the upland the lines of tile were
given direction parallel to the edge
of the marsh so as to intercept the
seepage from the upland more effec-
lively. If only a part of the system
could be installed during one season
! should have advised the drainage of
the two narrow areas in the lower
left hand corner Of the area drained.
These areas are nearer the farm build
ings than the rest of the marsh and
are surrounded by we'll drained up
land. There are about 700 rods of tile
on the thirty-three acres. They aver
age three feet deep and have a fall Of
one and one-quarter inches in hun
dred feet.
