FLYING MADE SAFE
orviIle Wright's New Invention
the Talk Of London.

Inc LONDON Mall prints cable
dispatch from Orville Wright in
which he explains his stabilizer
for aeroplanes. It's the first de-
scription of the device that Mr..
Wright has ever given out for
publication. His dispatch to the
Daily Mail follows:
Dayton, Ohio, Jan. 4.-The
Stabilizer with which experiments
have been carried on for the last
several months consists Of two
parts. One is controlled by a
pendulum, for Maintaining the
literal balance of a flying ma
chine, the other controlled by a
vane, for fore and aft balance.
The power for warping the wings
and turning the elevator is fur
nished by small windmill, at
tached to the aeroplane so that
the stopping of the motor does
not affect the device.
1.-The general principles of this
stabilizer are the same as describ
ed in the patent taken out by the
Wright brothers in Europe sew
eral years ago, but the mechan-
ism has been changed and i'm
proved. One of the important
Improvements is device for pre-
venting overcontrol when the aer-
oplane has been thrown out OF
balance in one direction and the
elevator is turned OF the wings
warped to bring it to level again.
This device gradually brings the
elevator and wings back to their
normal positions as the machine
is approaching the level, so that
when the level is finally reached
the controls do not turn the ma
chine on over past level.
Now 70 Maize q Turn
ITO make a turn the operator
simply sets the steering level to
one side. The device automati-
cally brings the aeroplane to the
proper angle, so that it neither
slips inward or skids outward; it
regulates the angle Of banking
more accurately than can the av-
erage aviator. Messrs. Grifliths,
Brewer and Alec Ogilvie Of Eng
land had short rides on the ma
chine during the first tests Of the
device last September,

A special to the Shreveport Times from
Newellton, La, dated Apr. 9Th says:
The indications are that there il going
to be great deal of developement for oil
and gas in this territory within the next
few months, and if this portion of Tensas
parish proves to be good oil and gas
producing territory, it will be no surprise
to the natives here, and especially those
who have made study of the situation.
That there is an abundance of gas here
is already certain. Over q territory of
about ten miles q number of wells have
been drilled, all Of which show Q good gas
preesue. Several planters in this section
have wells burning as high a. three feet
above the end of the pipe.
Messrs. M. w. and Geo. Bland have
several wells that burn very strong and
show heavy gas pressure. d. Muir has
one about four miles from the Bland group
which also shows good torch and strong
pressure.
s. Marks has several on his plantation,
and on the Kenilworth plantation, about
one mile from Newellton, Henry Dunn
has one from which he gets both gas and
water.
Messrs. John Burgin and Steve Fore.
man, connected with the Bright Light
Oil Co., who are now operating in Cata-
houls parish, came here to look over the
situation last week, and were 90 impressed
with what they saw that they returned
yesterday, bringing with them and old
and experienced driller from the Beau
mont and Caddo fields.
This driller expresses the belief that oil
in vast quantities can be secured in this
territory. On the question of gas there is
no doubt whatever, the surface indica-
tons attesting its presence.
There lie great deal of excitement here
following the visit of the oil men, and
plans are under way for the forming Of .
developement company with view Of be-
ginning drilling operations ct once.

trict:
Gentlemen-Agreeable to the authority
granted at the special meeting of our
Board on 18th March, the Secretary and
myself completed the details of the loan
with the Caddo Levee Board for the sum
Of 500, 10000, to be- repaid by March
10Th, 1915.
The Bank of Providence agreed to car
~ the loan Of SIS, 900 we have with it
until January, 1915, at z per cent inter-
est, secured by pledge Of revenues Of 1914.
The following levees have been COM
pleted since our last regular meeting in
January: bAnquette at O'Possum to Will
son Point. Donna Vista new levee, Good
rich enlargement, Willow Point Loop
enlargement, Bayou Roundawsy, lone
to Perkins, White Oak Lake, Winter
Quarters, Duck Pond and Fish Pond en-
largements.
The new spur protection levee at Vau-
cluse has been completed. The restora-
ton of river eide slope at st. John dyke
is just being finished also. The section
of levee that sank down ct Reid Biggs,
has been cut out and refilled: The con-
tractor on this levee has sublet most Of
this work to Oe done by teams. About
200 teams are now camped on the job
and as soon ~ the water goes down the
work will be rapidly pushed to compile
ton. The inlet to the drainage canal
there has been closed and . large DRAIN
age pump installed and about 100 teams
are now at work, but they can hold out
only about or 5.feet more water.
The piling at Kempe is now being
put down. The driving was begun on
End inst. They ere putting down about
so lineal feet per day; 20 feet lengths of

and enlargement work, especially to the
Lake st. John or Vaucluse. called Maj.
Sherrill's attention to it and he sent his
assistant up at once with instructions to
have it restored. At many places in the
District, where sandy material was used
and the work has not had time to settle
and cod. repairs will be necessary. The
worst damage in our District work l
found at Willow Point Loop, near the
upper end of the machine work slough
occurred 100 feet ong-coming up to
within 8 feet of the top of the levee
and settling down, leaving depression 8
feet deep in the section of the levee. On
account of the heavy enlargement that
was put on this levee we still have more
section left at this point than We had
to stand last years high water, 30 there
Q no cause for alarm.
At the Mascot levee slough occurred
from the softening Of the material from
the heavy rains. A section here 45 feet
long and coming up to within foot Of
the top Of the levee, taking down about
3 feet of the section. This levee is de-

Feeding Raw Beet Pulp.

Our leading dairymen have silos and
feed ensilage nights and mornings and
a feeding OF hay at noon. They are
not feeding very much grain at pres
ent prices. The best wheat feeds, glu
ten and cottonseed meal. are the prin
cipal grains.
A few dairymen are feeding beef
pulp and receiving good results. One
farmer who is milking ~ cows told me
few days ago that since he com
menced feeding this with the same
amount OF grain, his cows had gained
a little over 40-quart can OF milk per
day. says a writer in an exchange. Beet
pulp costs three dollars per ton In car
lots. Farmers give about eight quarts
to feed per COW twice day.

GOOD MANAGEMENT OF GEESE
Many Places on Farm Worthless for
Cultivation That Could Be Utilized
With Excellent Results.

By q. E. HOWARD, United States De-
partment OF Agriculture)
Goose raising is not so extensively
engaged in as duck raising, the condl.
tions under which they can be sue
cessfully raised being almost entirely
different from those necessary for sue
cessful duck raising. The duck, be.
ing smaller, can be raised in a more
limited space than can the goose, the
latter needing free range and water
while .he former has been proved to
do equally well without water.
While the goose can not profitably
be raised In as large numbers as the
duck, still II can not justly be termed
Improbable. There are many places
on a farm that are worthless for cul-
tivation that could be utilized with ex-
cellent results for goose raising.
Fields that have streams. branches,
or unused springs on them could be
turned to good advantage by making
them into goose pastures. Many farm.
ers are proflting by this and adding 10
their incomes annually. The care and
attention necessary for raising geese
are very small when compared with
the returns, and the cost of food is
also proportionately small in compari-
son with the cost OF food used for
other birds bred for market. A goose
on range will gather the largest por-
tion of its food, consisting of grasses,
insects and other animal and veget-
II l.. l.
and brooks.
The simplest kinds of houses are
used for shelter; these should be built

MILK FOR PRODUCING EGGS
In Experiments Conducted by West
Virginia Station MIX Produced
More Eggs Than Water.

Two tests are reported from the
West Virginia station of the value OF
skimmilk compared with water for
wetting a feed mash. In the first
test, which covered 122 days, 22
hens fed skimmilk laid 1,244 eggs,
as compared with 996 eggs laid by
the % hens fed mash wet with water.
In the first period of the second test
60 hens fed the skimmilk ration laid
s62 eggs in 81 days, as compared with
632 eggs laid by a similar lot fed no
skimmilk. In the second period, which
covered 56 days, the rations we're re.
versed. The chickens fed skimmilk
laid 1920 eggs, as compared with 97S
In the case OF the lot fed no skimmilk.
In every case the pens contained one
cock to ten hens. In both expert
ments more eggs were produced when
skimmilk was substituted for water
for moistening the mash.
Under the conditions prevailing in
these experiments and with eggs sell
Ing for 20 or 25 cents per dozen, the
skimmilk used for moistening the
mash had n feeding value OF from ~
TO 2 cents per quart In these trials
500 quarts of skimmilk were fed, re-
sulting in an increase In the egg pro-
duction of 702 eggs, or almost an ex.
ira egg for each quart used.
