About Machine Guns.

Every day in the newspapers there
crop up incidents dealing with the eff
feet of machiue-gun fire, and an enor
nous number of these weapons are
doing their deadly work today.
In the British army the machine
gun is the Maxim; the French use the
Hotchliss. or Puteaux; Austrians en-
pIuy the Schwarzlose, and Germans
the Maxim In all cases machine guns
are attached to the infantry forces,
usually at the proportion of two guns
per battalion, or 1000 men.
These guns fire rifle cartridges at
immense speed by mechanical means,
and usually the kick, or Tecofl, of the
gun is used for the purpose of reload
ing. 1t is interesting to note that in
a test - British tirst-class shots en-
gagged against a machine gun, each
firing at the same target for one MN
ute, the gun discharged 22S rounds
and made 80 hits, the AZ marksmen
discharged 40S rounds and made GO
hits

TRAIN COLT FOR EXHIBITION
Fairs often Spoiled by Bad Actions
of Excited Youngsters

What should be most interesting
event at many county fairs, the show
ing Of colts, is often very disappoint-
ing both TO the owners and the spec
tators. A ring filed with wild OF half
broken colts is not much satisfaction
to the fair management or to the
crowds.
The little rascais are excited, they
tear around like spoiled youngster
and generally demean themselves so
badly that the judges have hard work
in picking the winners All this could
be changed greatly by training the
colt every day for few weeks be-
fore he is to be shown
The training should be of the sim
plest kind. When he is being weaned
he should be broken to the bride and
the halter. The bride is usually the
best as the youngster is more easily
controlled by this than by the halter.
1t is easy enough to break the colt to
the bride IN the weaving stage and
from this he should be educated till
he can be made to walk, trot, halt
when spoken to while being led by the
bride.
A-colt that is led into the show ring
and kept standing in the proper posi-
ton has a better chance to have his
good points noted than the unmanage-
able youngsters who are never still
minute
If he has been taught to walk and
trot properly, the educated young
equine will show his action as it should
be shown. This may have a lot of
weight with the judges and it should
have. When the colt is getting his
training for the show the attendant
should not let him SLOUGH for a mo-
ment. When training the colt to trot
while being led the attendant should
keep close to the colt, near enough to
lay his hand on the animals shoulder
Once in the ring the colt should be
kept pretty well on the alert Keep
his head up and so handle him that
his feet are kept in their proper posi-
tons. A colt is like a boy, leave him
to himself for a moment and he will
lind a dozen things to do with him
self and none of them are likely to
make him look like as good an animal
as he really is.

YOUNG WOMEN AND POULTRY
Production of Fancy Stock, Euus.
Broilers and Capons Affords
Means of Making Money.

There are many young women on
farms all over this broad land of ours
who are debating the question of leav-
ing home to make their way in the
world
They have finished school, are not
particularly needed on the farm, and
are ambitious American girls who
seek to show that they are able to
take care of themselves.
They have the idea they must get
away from the poky old farm if they
wish to win money or fame
The farm they argue, stands for
plenty of hard work, no pay and little
play. On some farms this may be
true, but they are the exception.
Any bright capable girl who is will
ing to give as much of her time, en-
ergy and study to the science of rails
ing poultry, as she would be. compelled
to give to fit herself to be a stem
ographer, bookkeeper, dressmaker,
etc, will make a success nine times
out of ten.
She will have worked herself into
a paying business without leaving the
shelter of home, and always find a
ready market for her products.
The possibilities of the farm were
never greater than today, and the pro-
ducing of fancy stock, fresh eggs,
broilers, spring capons and just chick
en- is one of the broad avenues leading
the wide-awake American girl to fame
and gold.

IF You Feel "Nervv,"

No one can help feeling so at times
in this age of rush and racket, but it
is quite possible to put on the brake,
as it were, and not let the nerves run
away with us,
Here are a few wise hints on the
subject:
If people fret you. it is not neces-
sary to be rude to them. Try, in
stead, to avoid them.
Don't read books that irritate you.
Books are plentiful, therefore put
away the offending volume and choose
another.
If a noise at night worries you, don t
let it continue to do so, Get up and
see to the matter, and put it right.
Don't let yourself get into the habit
of being bored 1t is not worth while
When you feel it coming on, plunge
at once into some task that will take
all your time and energy.
1t is better to run away from GER
tain things than let them irritate you.
Such martyrdom is usually unneces
sary. and bad for you all round.

CONSTANT PASTURE FOR PIGS
Rape Growing in Popularity as Feed
Movable Fences Should Be EN-
ployed to Avoid TrampIinq.

Pigs in clover are popularity sup
posed to be in the ideal animal en-
vironment, but the cold facts show
that pigs in rape do better.
Recently 81 pigs fed on rape for
eight weeks gained 81 pounds more
weight than the same number fed on
clover for the same time.
1t is mistake to assume, however.
that rape alone makes an ideal food
for gain. They must have some grain.
Fed on rape or clover alone, pigs will
do better on clover.
Rape should be fed by means of
movable fences. in order that the pigs
may not trample the field too much.
Glover has to be pastured. or it
will quickly become dry and woody,
and therefore, without proper nutri-
ton. With ordinary rainfall rape pro-
vides a constant pasturage.

bers. The spores of this stage germi-
nate in the soil and infect future
crops.
The best preventive against an at
tack of winter rot is to make certain
that the potatoes are well dried before
storing. Powdered sulphur if sprin-
killed. over the tubers at the rate of
two pounds to the ton, will destroy
the fungus, and also hold in check
mites, wood lice, etc, which by their
movements convey the spores from
one potato to another Pits" clamps
or cellars should always be we'll ven
tilated.
Land that has produced a diseased
crop will certainly be infected, and po-
tatoes should not be planted in it
again for several years. Kainit, or
lime, may beNappIied to infected land.
Both destroy the fungus
The former is the more effective.
and when land is infected this ma
nure should be used in preference to
sulphate or murfate of potash, but the
quantity should not exceed Sc cwt.
per acre, or the quality of the pota-
toes may be injured.
Kainit may be applied in the drills
before planting. but in this case.
where it is required both as a manure
and a fungicide, it would probably be
better to apply it as a top dressing
before the horse hoe is used for the
last time.
If the land needs potash, and espe-
cially if the potato crop is to be fol
lowed by crop likely to be benefited
by potash, as e. g., barley or mangIes,
dressing of kainit may be applied to
the infected land as soon as the pota-
toes are lifted.
If potash is not required, and if the
land is likely to be benefited by lime,
then it would be desirable to dress
the infected field with from one to
three tons of lime per acre.

EASILY UNDERSTOOD BY ALL
Wireless Signal Sent Out by Ships in
Distress Is Universal Call

The letters signify nothing but that

At a later stage the white tufts

By such means the disease quickly
