Further than that, his researches in
connection with propellers made II pos
sible for him to tell just what sort OF
screws would answer best in Transmitting
the push of the motive power to the
water.
In speaking of this work. he said about
three years back. THE gunboat Nash
willie. as you know. was built sixteen OF
seventeen years ago. She was about
LIS tons displacement and made sixteen
knots with $50 horsepower, in round
numbers. The new gunboat Sacramento
Is OF ,6I5 tons displacement. OF 80 tons
bigger than the earlier craft. and yet
she will make sixteen knots on 2.OOO
horsepower or 800 HORSEPOWER less than
the Nashville"
Taking thirty-fve pd Inds per horse
power as an average. In actual saving
in weight is thus secured OF 1850 pounds
and the lighter engine calls for less coal
and is undoubtedly a cheaper mechan-
ism. The results are more striking II
the comparison is made between battle
ships.
II has been said that THE average ship
Of the Connecticut class required i. 100
indicated horsepower for eighteen knots
whereas the Michigan class OF identical
displacement and type of machinery. re-
Quired only 1900 indicated horsepower
for the same speed. This means that for
lO,Oo0 miles the saving in coal amounts
to some 1.lOO tons at eighteen knots"
This Is only one of the many economies
made possible by the Investigations At
the model experimental basin. and funda-
mentally due to the changes wrought in
the underwater bodies of ships
This research work has gripped
Capt Taylor. and more than once he
has declined the very office he is now
taking because he was too much alb
sOTbed in the scientific problems he
was untaEgling bit by bit through the
medium of the tank and the facilities
which he had developed there. He was
not interested alone in the problem of
ship form in its relation to economy
of propulsion. Thanks to his expert
ments. he demonstrated conclusively
that the cigar-shaped hull OF the sub
ulRrly when the underwater boat was
running below. but near the surface.
He made II perfectly plain that a
change OF shape was necessary in the
name of safety and that modification
should involve some sort of ship form
ed superstructure. His Investigations
in this direction anticipated u number
of submarine catastrophes-due pri-
marily to the spindle form of the hull.
In many ways Capt. Taylor has help
ed to make our fighting ships what
they are. He was the originator of the
all-center-line disposition OF the main
battery of battIeships, a distinctive
feature of modern dreadnoughts. Since
the first appearance of this arrange
ment on an American man-of-war IL
has been adopted and is now the uni
versal practice among the foremost of
foreign nayies.

cannot be affected in the slightest de-
gree by any means at present known
to man.
This battle-rain theory got into Con-
gress about twenty years ago, and an
appropriation was made for expert
menting in Texas with rsin-making by
dynamite explosions. 1t was reported
that the explosions were entirely sue
cessful, but that the rains were not

ported that rain-making enterprises
operate in various parts OF Europe and
seek to break droughts that damage
agriculture. II the explosions be con-
tinued long enough the drought would
OF course, be broken. but there also
would be a great waste of ammunition.
The rain was coming, anyway.
Historians of battles have written
much of rain. Soon after the English
fleet engaged the Spanish armada

which the English guns had not bat

Rains Hurt Napoleon.
The remarkably bloody battle of
Observation-Disclosures followed by so
heavy a downpour of rain that Marl-
borough could not follow up the adVan-
tages of his victory.
The fighting of Quatre Bras and
Ligny-June 16, 1S15-was followed by
rains which. il is said. cost Napoleon
the battle of Waterloo two days later,
because the fields were too soft for the
French artillery to maneuver.
Downpours of rains accompanied the
siege of Sebastopol in 1854. and men
fought waist deep IN water in the
trenches. Many battles of the Amert-
can civil war were followed by rain.
1t is also true that many baseball
games have been interrupted or fol-
lowed by rain. and II is notorious that
circus shows have a habit of producing
rain. The eQuinoctial storm of rain is
another of the rain theories which the
wether bureau says does not hold over
ter.
Storms do not occur oftener on Sep
tember 81 or % than on any other date,
and a storm of September l or is or

nox on September 81 or % than are

Keep posted concerning the condi-
ton and health of hogs on your neigh
bors' farms, advises the department
of agriculture. Sick hogs on neighbor-
ing farms are a positive menace, for
the germs of hog cholera are easily
carried on the feet OF men or animals.
Look over your herd regularly in or
der that any sick hogs may be prompt
iy discovered.
If any hogs in the herd are found to
be "off feed" or appear in anywise
sick, separate them Immediately from
the remainder of the herd, and keep
them and the main herd under close
observation daily. If there is a ten
dency for the disease to spread in the
herd the trouble is probably hog chol-
era. This diagnosis may be confirmed
by killing one Of the sick animals and
examining the organs in the manner
described in Farmers Bulletin 379 OF
the department.
When the first symptoms of sick
ness are observed an immediate
change of feed sometimes corrects
the trouble. This is particularly true
of swill fed hogs. If there is any
tendency for the disease TO spread in
the herd do not temporize, but imme
diately treat the herd with serum from
the state college or state live stock
sanitary board. Prompt administers
ton of the serum is essential to sue
cess.
Remember that hog cholera kills
millions of hogs where other diseases
kill thousands. Dismiss from YOU
mind all thought of such diseases as
lung plague" infectious pneumonia,
pig typhoid" for these are generally
merely fanciful designations given tc
hog cholera by uniformed men.

How to Improve Pot Roast.

When the meat comes from market
there is usually a quantity of seem
lngly superfiuous fat with it. Do not
cut this of for rendering purposes.
but make use Of It in the following
manner: First, cut the fat into strips
about one-half by one inch in thick
ness. Make incisions in the lean por-
tons Of the meat about two inches
apart Five or six OF these in a seven
pound roast will be sufficient. Insert
the strips OF fat In these holes and
trim the protruding portion even with
the surface. This method followed be-
fore bastirig will be found to do away
with that dryness which is so much in
evidence in the pot roast.

German Cooperative Elevator.

will tell you that cooperation natu-
rally begins with cooperative credit
rather than with cooperative market
ing. 1t does not necessarily follow,
however, that In America cooperative
credit associations should precede CO.
operative marketing. Conditions in
Germany differ greatly from those In
the United States.
In the first place. the privately
owned banking houses OF Germany did
not serve the German farmer even as
adequately as the American banker is
now serving the American farmer.
In the second place, marketing In
Germany presents practically none Of
the difficulties encountered In Amer
lea. Germany has by high tariffs forced
the consumer to depend upon domes-
tic production. The local demand for
almost every farm product exceeds the
supply. AS q result there are two
buyers demanding butter. for example,
when only enough butter for one IL
available.
There are no long hauls. as In Amer.
lea, no long distance commission bust.
ness. The producer more nearly meets
the consumer face to face and gets his
price. German marketing as compared
to American is direct, simple, and free
from complexities.
We must take the counsel OF the
German who ranks cooperative credit
as more important than cooperative
marketing with caution, since he has
dealt with reversed conditions. We
are firmly convinced, after a careful
survey. that at least in America, the
more prosperous scheme of cooper,
tive marketing is more important thar
