Washington l. Chambers, who has
charge of the aeronautical work of the
navy department.
Captain Chambers believes that as
soon as solution is found for the
motor problem. on which practically
all aviation experts now are working,
the installation Of hydro-aeroplanes as
a part of the equipment of battleships
will be begun.
1t is not considered probable that
the navy aeronauts will follow the
plans of the army and move their
equipment south for practice during
the winter. When the weather at An
napolis, where the navy hydro-aero-
plane experiments are carried on. be-
comes too disagreeable for flying pur-
poses. the aeronauts will give atten-
tion exclusively to motor problems

The sIIo for palrymen.

This is the time Of the year when
the dairymen or dairy farmer who
owns q silo likes to talk about silage.
Good silage comeE as near being June
pasture in January as any feed with
which the dairyman is familiar. Its
succulent or juicy nature especially
fits 1t for stimulating the milk flow
and keeping the cow In vigorous
health.
Probably the most important rule
In the profitable dairy is to keep the
cows milk flowing freely as possible
after the flow has once been started
by parturition or calf birth. To do
this demands right feeding and good
care. Silage is cheap feed to cut
up, and valuable to use. 1t Is grown
on the farm. This is a fact Of impor-
tance in this day Of high-priced mill
feeds.

II RESENT indications are that the
/ fire losses in the United States
and Canada for 1911 will exceed $780,
100000. The figures for the first
seven months Of the year show to-.
tai of $154,992,900. as compared with
$126.O67,800 during the same period
last year. The losses for 1910 were
1924, ,406,650. and If the present ratio
of increase continues throughout the
year, the 1917 losses may approach
$500, 100000. This will exceed any
year in the history of the country ex-
cept those Of the San Francisco and
Baltimore confagrations.

MOVER IN A NEW SHIP LINE

AS result of H. G. Haugan's trip
to Norway last summer, from which
he returned to Chicago recently, the
first steamship company to run line
of ships between Norway and the
United States was organized. At a
banquet OF ship owners in Christiania
some time ago Mr.. Haugan showed so
plainly the profits that could be made
by such a steamship line as the Nor
wegian-American Steamship company,
with capital of $2,7O0.OOO. was organ

Mr.. Haugan's family always has
been active in Norwegian affairs. His
brother. H. A. Haughan. former presl-

SUITABLE HOUSE FOR DUCKS
Building Of Rough Lumber May Be
Constructed at Small Cost
What to Feed Them.
(By ANNA GALLAGHER, ohio.)

(By ANNA GALLAGHER Ohio)
A house Is by 20 feet, with a yard
attached. will be large enough for 35
or 40 ducks to stay in at night. and
during the cold days.
II there Is no suitable house on the
place, a duck house can be built at
small cost. Rough lumber may be
used for the floor and siding. The
rafters, plats, and posts may be made
OF poles cut in the woods. Any kind
OF roof that will turn water will an
swer.
If the house Is to be used for young
ducks during the spring and summer
months, there should be two large
doors. One at each end Of the house,
or door at one end and window
at the other. Some duck houses are
built with the entire south side epen.
Small-mesh poultry netting is nailed
to the posts, and q heavy curtain is
attached inside. The curtain Is to be
used in cold weather. AS the snow
Is liable to drift in, 1t will sometimes
be necessary to nail or tack the cur
tain to the floor and also at the sides.
Keep plenty Of straw on the floor.
If 1t Is several inches deep, 1t need
not be renewed every day. We take
pitchfork and turn it, or remove that
which is badly soiled. 1t is best to
keep everything as clean as possible,
A flock of laying ducks should be
fed four times day when they have
to be kept housed.
Their food should consist of both
raw and cooked vegetables. cornmeal
bran. beef.scraps. stem-cut clover, ETC.
The ground grain should be moistened
with milk or water.

Nations Great Annual Loss by Fire

Government officials. underwriters
and firemen agree that the majority
of these fires are due to carelessness
and are easily preventable. All Of the
recent fires, which have attracted pub
lie attention because of the heavy loss
of life with which they were accom-
panied, were due to the carelessness
and Indifference of the owners. occu.
pants. or municipal authorities.
New York has been spending $10.-
100000 year for fire extinguishment
and only $4,000 for fire prevention.
The recent shirt waist factory fire
aroused the public, and the authori-
ties, and fire prevention is to be made
much more prominent hereafter.
The most important consideration is
the development Of sense OF person
al responsibility on the part Of prop
erty owners for the excessive hre
waste, which Is draining the resources
Of the country and weakening its in.
surance capital.

SHREDDED CORN FOR FODDER
Run Through EnslIage Cutter Into
Silo and Kept Well Wet Is APP
preciated by Cows.
By W. NJ. KELLYO

(By W. NJ KELLY
My experience with handling corn
fodder during the past ten years has
convinced me that the husker and
shredded is very valuable tool on all
dairy farms where more corn fodder
Is raised'than can be preserved in the
sllo. or, on farms where there is no
silo. The value of good shredded
stover will compare favorably with
timothy hay and the various expert
mental farms report very satisfactory
results while feeding 1t to young stock,
pee1 cattle, sheep and horses.
Many farmers have made failure
Oh keeping the shredded fodder in
eood condition for feeding, while
others seem to have no difficulty in
Keeping 1t for weeks when they can
ieed 1t out. Some claim that 1t will
keep nicely by running 1t in the NOW
Win layer Of straw and then layer
Oh fodder, gradually filling the NOW
with the mixture.
We have found 1t rather an uncer-
tain feed to keep and after trying ev.
cry method that we could think OF we
now make practice of shredding the
fodder and then running 1t through
the ensilage cutter into the silo and
keep well wet down and packed and
nnd that the cows like it about as well
as they do the ensilage put up in the
ordinary manner We save number
OF hundred bushels of ears in this
manner and believe that 1t pays. espe.
cially in a country where corn is
worth rs to 80 cents per bushel.
When this method is to be practiced
IT is best to leave some Of the best
cared corn in the shock until the silos
nave settled and the top ensilage fed
on and then refill them later on with
the shredded stover.

LATE DOMINICAN PRESIDENT

Making Chicago Steel Center.

From the Chicago News.
Much of Chicagos pre-eminence as an
industrial center is due to the fact that
IL was a great lumber market when lum-
Der was the principal raw material for
manufacturing purposes. The output of
the forests Of Michigan, Wisconsin and
other regions tributary TO the great lakes
was brought to this city by water in enor-
nous quantities. Manufacturers could
cit lumber here cheaper. in more salts
factory volume and IL greater varieties
than they could elsewhere. Further. this
city because of its transportation Ia
cilities. was an exceptional point Tor
prompt and widespread distribution
To a large extent steel and iron are ia <
ing the place of lumber raw materials
for manufacturing purposes, articles made
of iron ore products sulplant!ng many Of
those made of lumber. And Chicago IS
now becoming the great center OF the
iron and steel industry. In addition to
the huge plants at Gary, Indiana Harbor.
South Chicago and Joliet, another pl ant IS
soon TO be constructed at Hammond,

Just as cheap and plentiful lumber at

that commodity as n raw material. SO the

plants insuring an abundance of iron and
steel at the lowest prices, must attract

cradle number are beginning operations

LOTTERIES IN EUROPE.
Governments Raise Money and Make
Good Thing of It.
From the Westminster Review,

From tae Westminster Review
Lotteries as conducted by European
governments may be earnestly de-
Tended. These state and municipal
lotteries are conducted fairly and hon
orably.
Let us take what happens when an
English city and likewise a French
city wish to make loans. Perhaps the
English municipality raises f1,O0O,O00
at per cent. The interest per annum
is 100000, which Is distributed pro
rata among the bondholders.
In France it is very different. The
same amount may be raised and at the
same interest. But the full amount of
the latter is not paid out annually. \
certain proportion Of it Is reserved for
special fund. From this fund a great
number of cash bonuses are distributed
among the boEdholders. The drawings
take place at fixed periods, generally
every two months.
A bond receiving the largest bonus
(f41.OOO il may be) is automatically cam
celed, and thus the city reduces its debt
year by year Whereas the English cor
poraton at the end OF the time has not
only paid out more interest than the
French have, it still owes the full G1Ouo,-
Ou0 and has to establish sinking fund
TO meet it. Those who do not draw a
bonus have the security of their capital
and interest guaranteed; while the bonds
are ultimately redeemab at par value.
which is generally more than the original
cost of the bond and occasionally twice
as much.
IT is not an eXaggeration to say that
hardly a single investor is TO be found
in the length and breadth of France who
has not at least few hundred francs In
either rentes or in officially authorized
a lottery bond, of which he may buy as
little as a fourth or In some instances
even a fifth. - There are drawings
four, six or eight times a year as the
case may be. and the prizes vary from
$4,000 to 10000. with smaller prizes
worth from e40 to E2,G00.
The method of the drawings is natu-
rally of interest. The law OF the land
enacts that they must take place In pub
lie and no one can be refused admittance.
