MODEL OF UNSUITABLE
SHIP SHOWN IN WALES.
Water Tight Betting the Secret of
Crafts Remarkable Buoyancy.

Remarkable experiments with the
model of an unsinkable ship are de-
scribed in Il letter to the London
Times by John Rees, harbor superin-
tendent at Llanelly Wales. The mod
ell, four feet in length, nine inches
wide and scaled to represent steam
boat 40 feet long and 72 wide, draw
ing 21 feet, was loaded through five
hatchways with copper ore down to
theN Plimsoll mark, and Mr. Rees was
invited to do what he liked with it.
He tilted the vessel sidewise until
water filled the whole interior to the
deck level; then he let go. She imme-
diately righted herself and foated east
ly and buoyantly, with the deck just
above the water level.
Mr.. Rees pressed her well down IN
der the water and then let go. She
Immediately bobbed up to the sur
face and f1oated exactly as before
With her whole cargo shifted and still
full of water, she had a correspond
ing list, but still three-quarters of her
deck was we'll out of water.
This floating power is obtained by
such a plan of construction as to al
low water tight betting being built
outward and downward from the deck
level. It is absorbed in the ships
form, does not extend to the watel
level and, following the lines of the
ship, is roughly triangular in section
There is thus apparently no fnterfer
ence with speed, so far as water con
tact with the hull is concerned, mol
does it interfere with cargo carrying
for the vessel 10 all fntents and pur
poses is an ordinary sized and shaped
| one.
The inside betting being divided int
water tight compartments, ii any por
ton of it is injured owing to collision
there is only loss of floating power
corresponding to the section crushed II
and rendered useless.
The inventor has been working OF
his idea for twenty years. He say
that the added cost of construction t.
embody his idea is about per cent.

SociaIistio Tendencies Responsible For
Extreme Simplicity of Ministry.
The new Danish ministry, In session
at Copenhagen. which went into Office
last June, is radical, with certain well
defined leanings toward Socialism.
The members are so democratic that
they recently asked the king to be ex-
cused from the necessity Of wearing
the customary ministerial uniforms on
official occasions. His majesty con-
sented, and, although he will wear his
own uniform in the cabinet councils,
hereafter the ministers will meet in
evening dress
An exception, however, had to be
made in the case of the minister OF
foreign affairs. When meeting foreign
ministers he win make a concession
and appear In uniform.

LEGISLATION TO HELP
STATE FARMERS SELL
Kansas Educators Plan Cooperative
Bureau to Cut Living Cost.

A marked feature of legislation in
the western and southern states last
winter was the trend toward the en-
couragement and development of the
cooperative principle among farmers
or among farmers and producers to-
gether.
In some states this was the natural
outcome of recent efforts, usually un-
der the direction of the state uni
versity or agricultural school, to bring
together sellers and buyers Of agri-
cultural products. Thus the Kansas
Agricultural college and the University
of Missouri have served as clearing
.Iouses for apples in their respective
states. They obtained lists Of produ
GERS and lists of buyers and acted as
go-betweens.
So successful was this work in Kan
sas that Dean Miller Of the extension
division of the Kansas Agricultural
college and his colleagues plan to es-
tablish at once q cooperative buying
and selling bureau for all Kansas farm
products. Professor Miller says:
we Sllull CO-Opelulc Will al SAlSJ'
ing organizations of farmers of the
state, making each local association a
sort Of branch of the central bureau at
the college. In counties where county
demonstration agents are employed
much of the work of organization and
operation will be done through these
agents"
The University of Wisconsin is lead
ing In similar work in that state, where
an effort has been in progress for
some time to establish cooperative
storehouses and markets. One of the
bills introduced at the present session
of the legislature provided for COM
mission, to be composed Of representa-
tlves from various organizations, such
as the Consumers league, Dairy
mems, Horticultural, Tobacco Grow
ers' and Live Stock association, the
grange, the Society Of Equity, the
Federation of Women's Clubs and the
Federation Of Labor, which should
consider plans "for the encouragement
of cooperative buying and selling, the
betterment of the condition Of agri-
culture and the reduction of the cost
or living"

SPECULATION.
The More Active the Market, Usually
the More Steady the Price.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
Ownership of any commodity i'm
poses risk" says Mr.. J. C. F. Mer-
rill, President of the Council of Grain
Exchanges.
MANY unthinking persons confuse
the word speculation with gam
bling Every human endeavor has its
elements of chance, of course. The
great grain exchanges of America dis
tribute the surplus grain at a mini
mum expense. Somebody must own
the grain from the time it is harvested
to the time it is consumed. Hence,
the speculator who carries this grain
is very necessary adjunct. The
farmer wants his money usually as
soon as harvest is over, if possible
The speculator makes it possible for
him to get his money and forego all
risk of fire, rats, weevil, dampness, and
hundred other things, to say nothing
of the risk of bad roads, lack of cars,
congestion and storage charges. All
of this risk is undertaken for cor
responding charge. Somebody must
do this work and take this risk. The
farmer is welcome to do so if he
chooses and frequently does. The
middle man could not live unless he
had service to perform.

CORN BELT FARMERS
Now Building Concrete Floors and
Concrete Barnyards.

National Crop improvement Seryice)
G. unty agents, especially from corn
belt counties, report that "a great deal
of concrete work is being done by
farmers. Concrete feeding floors seem
to be especially popular and where
feeding floors were built last year,
many farmers are building concrete
barnyards also. After a farmer rea-
Lies the great saving in time and
money, especially in feeding hogs by
the use of a concrete feeding floor,
he plans to extend his operations. The
next step frequently is to build con-
crete barnyard which will be sani-
tary at all times of the year and give
good footing to man and beast every
yards are easily drained, and kept in
clean and sanitary condition, and all
the valuable manure is easily saved.
Where a feeding floor and barnyard
have been built, sanitary water
troughs are also built of concrete as
the next step. County agents also
find that when the farmer sees it easy
to keep out of the mud around his
barnyard, he naturally builds cement
sidewalk connecting his farm build
ings and also connecting the buildings
with the house, so that at all times of
the year, regardless of the mud, rain
or snow, he can keep himself and his
cattle in dry and sanitary condition.
Good Concrete Is Watertight.
al
raj experts during last winters Short
| Course work, found out that hundreds
| of farmers had concrete Easements,
| but did not know how to make the
walls waterproof. All that is neces-
sary in building a concrete cellar wall,
cistern or silO, to make them water
proof is to use little care and COM
mon sense in mixing the cement.
Use a l:2:4 mix for the cellar and
cistern walls, and :2:3 mix for the
silo. A 1928 mix is mixture of one
part Portland cement, not more than
two parts coarse, sharp well graded
sand and not more than three parts
of crushed stone or gravel, for silo
or cistern work not over one inch in
diameter. Everything which passes
| through H-inch screen or wire cloth
can be classed as sand. Both the sand
and gravel must be free from clay
dirt, vegetable matter or other for
eign substance. In order to make his
cellar walls or other structures water
tight, the farmer must be very careful
to use clean materials, screen them as
indicated above and when putting
them into the forms, must tamp dowr
carefully and thoroughly. By spadine
up and down along the edges of the
forms, the cement mortar will come tc
the surface, making the wall tighter
Then the mix should not be too dry
or too wet, but should be what con
crete engineers call Of "quaky" con
sistence, that is, the cement mortar ant
water should come readily to the sur
face when it is worked. Farmer,
should remember that concrete, prop
erly mixed, is water-tight.
