IMPROVEMENTIN
 ARMY FIELD GUN

What Is thought to be the biggest single improvement made in the artil- lery service in decade. says the Popu lar Mechanics Magazine, is comprised in the new field gun recentlyy adopted by the United States government. The carriage of this gun has double or split trail the word "trail'' being used to designate the long beam or prop that supports the gun on the ground at the rear. The old style single trail prevented any great lowering of the gun breech and therefore limited the angle to which the muzzle could be elevated.
 With the split trail the breech drops down between the halves, and any ele- vation of the muzzle that is necessary may be obtained. By means of a hand wheel the gun may be swung quickly and easily in a wide horizontal arc without shifting the trail, which is another great improvement over the old style carriage. The gunners are thor oughly shielded by steel plates only two-tenths of an inch in thickness, but of such strength and toughness that they cannot be penetrated by a steel jacketed, needle nosed bullet fired from a service rifle at distance of 100 yards. Even the gunner who sights the piece is not exposed By a system of mirrors and prisms the telescope sight zigzags upward and passes out through a port in the shield foot or more above the gunner's head.
 The projectile fired by this gun is three inches in diameter and about one foot long, but contains enough explo- sive and balls to wipe out whole company.

BEAR HIDES CU1PARK
 KEEPERS CAN'T FIND FEM

From the New York Times
 Park attendants have been trying for
 days to learn just how many bear cubs
 there are in a cave at the back of one
 of the large cages in the Geological
 park In the Bronx. Just when they
 were born is not known. They only
 learned that there were cubs in the
 cave when Colorado. female North
 American brown bear, appeared at the entrance week ago bearing one of them in her mouth. It was not any bigger than cat, the keeper who saw it said. There are three other bears in the cage with the mother and
 they lined up in front of the entrance and prevented an inspection of the cave.
 Later the keepers learned that Colo rado had more than one cub. but just how many more is still matter of doubt Snyder is sure there are three youngsters behind the rock, but Keeper Degnon insists there are only two. Interest in the welfare of cubs be- came so great among the keepers that
 one of them undertook to explore the cave and find out how many cubs there
 were and how they were getting on. He waited until the other bears were dozing after hearty meal Then he opened the door at the rear of the in- closure and stepped in, swinging the | door so1tly shut behind him. He was
 creeping toward the cave when sud- denly the mother bear appeared in the entrance She had cub in her mouth for each day she brings one of them out into the sunshine, stands guard
 over 1t for 10 minutes. or so,-and then gravely catches the youngster up by the scruff of the neck and carries it back into the cave. She was on the way out to give one of the cubs its airing when the keeper encountered her. She growled savagely, and the keeper backed quietly to the door reached hand out behind him and opecnd it.
 Colorado, with quick turn of her head, tossed the cub just inside the cave. Then, still growing, she cleared the few feet between the cave and the cagedoor with remarkable speed reaching it just as the keeper stepped through.

CTS of America and England Such races are similar in type. As rule, they are large in size, are heavily feathered, have long necks and legs. and are remarkable for vigor and hardness. Their eggs are usually of good size ard have brown shells Many of these characteristics ap- pear in the breeds carrying this blood.
 The Cochin was first introduced into America and England between the years 1S40 and 1850 The first importations ar parently came from direct from the port of Shanghai. For this reaso the breed was first called the Shanghai. Some of these original birds were somewhat vel low or buff in color. and from these the modern Buff Cochin-shown herewith has descended
 Though formerly a fowl of much utili- ty value, the present day exhibition type of Cochin can scarcely be classed with the business breeds. It is massive in appear ance and has been bred to a wonderful perfection in form and color. In ehls re- spect it is a triumph of tho breeders art, but it must be confessed that these points

There is no more popular annual, and few perennals more highly regarded, than the aster in it's various forms, with special reference to the double forms.
 Long Towering Season
 A continual panorama of color, in all it's various hues and forms, can be had if the seed are planted at intervals of two weeks, and by using the medium late and late varieties. Planting out of doors if begun now, and successive plantings every two or three weeks, following these suggestions. will bring results beyond the imagination of the most adrent lover of flowers.
 Unless the soil is specially fine in tex ture and light. as well as rich we sug- gest the adoption of a seed bed, located in a sheltered place, where it can be looked after easitly and watered as oc- casion may require. Some wood ashes or slight sprinllling of air slacked lime should be applied 10 the drills where the seeds are planted If planted in the open,

the young plants should be shielded when they first come through by a slight shade during the heat of the day, as much to preserve the moisture in the soil. to pre- vent too frequent artificial watering, as this tends to cause the plants to damp off
 Soil for Asters
 The soil should be richly manured with well routed manure, loamy. and worked deeply and fine. The ground should be Kept from weeds and frequently stirred but not so close or so deep as to dis turb the surface roots.
 Cultivation
 When we'll in bud a mulch of well rotted stable manure acts as a nourishment as well IS keeps the soil cool and moist. Fresh manure should never be used in tine growing of asters. The large Towering types-Victoria, Comet. Semple's. etc, should be planted 12 inches apart; the dwarfer types 10 inches apart; the Torn Thumb type eight inches. Shade slightly from hot sun until started. then water liberally An application Of liquid manure always after watering will benefit.

 The ideal Buff Cochin of exhibition qual- ity has profusion of long, loose pluma ge of rich golden buff cocr It is imper- atre that this color be uniform through out as different shades of buff in two or more sections of the plumage are a se- rous defect. Beak, shanks and toes are bright yellow, eyes, comb, face and vat ties, red
 In general appearance the Cochin is massive. deep and wide. The breast is broad and deep, well rounded and carried well forward: the back, broad and full
 The thighs are moderate in length, thick and meaty. and the shanks are short with stoVt bones. Great stress is laid upon the quantity and quality of the leg feathering.
 Cochips are extremely gentle. and be- cause of their size are easily confined by low fencing. The hens lay brown -shelled eggs and are persistent stters and faith full mothers. The desired weights are. Cock, Il pounds; cockerel, 9; hen, 9ia; bullet, '.

Other contestants were George Spencer Virgil Cowart, Jesse Simmons, Willie Burks, Rutledge Thomas and Willie McCurdy. '
 Father Turner wishes to thank the contestants and their friends and the gen. eral public for the generous donations which made the contests so successful. The proceeds will be used to make a payment on the debt on the Blessed Sac rament parish property and pay for some furnishings of the school. The total amount raised was $1131 .s9, which, after paying for the scholarships, will leave a net profit of about $500.

 The voting lasted six weeks. The prize for the girls was a scholarship at the Blessed Sacrament academy in West End. When, however. the results were known Father Turner declared himself so pleased with the total amount of money handed in that he determined to give as second and third prizes a part of a scholarship. Those fortunate enough to win were: First prize, Miss Marie Hayden; second prize, Miss Cleta Hanson, and third prize, Miss Margaret Alice Thornton Other contestants were: Mary McGinn, Anna Ringer and Cecelia McNamara.
 The prize offered for the boys contest was a scholarship consisting of board and tuition for one year at St. Bernard

 As a breed the Cochin has exertec a wonderful influence on the development of the poultry industry. It was responsi- ble for the original epidemic of the "poul- try fever which ragged about the middle of the last century and which caused so many influential people to take up poul- try keeping. It stimulated the interest in improved breeds, and through this the eX- hibtion system arose. Its blood has been freely used in the creation of many of the modern kinds of fowls which are so popular today. And so. though no longer extensively bred by commercial poultry men, the grand old Cochin has played a great part in the poultry world and de- serves much cerdit therefor.
 Our domestic fowls had their origin in southern Asia and for centuries poultry growing has been largely practiced in that part of the world. Several distinct races have there been developed, to be improved and refined later by the breed

 They are also adversely affected by tue direct rays of the sun.

SCHOOL CONTESTS VERY SUCCESSFUL Scholarships Awarded in the Blessed Sacrament

 Occasionally a flock will develop the vice of feather pulling. This habit is usually due to a lack of animal food in the ra- ton and as a rule may be corrected by ncreas sing the amount of beef scrap.
 Those who enjoy the good things of the table and have a little idle land may well grow a few ducks. As shown above the task is comparatively easy one and the necessary investment is small. But the reward is truly worth while.
