Covering Cream Cans.

A great part of the value of keeping
cream cool on the farm and at the
station or creamery is lost II the
cream is exposed to the direct rays OF
the sun while being hauled from the
farm to the point OF sale. Far too
few people stop TO realize the impor-
tance OF covering their cream cans
when bringing them In to town. Ex-
pensive jacketed cans are not n nee
essity to keep the cream cool. In
summer weather just an ordinary
piece OF wet burlap thrown over the
cans will keep the temperature of the
cream as much as 20 degrees below
what it would rise to If left uncovered
while being transported over the av-
erage hauling distance.

Now and then some very fine speci-

bushes have not been clipped or 9TH

old box bushes resent removals after
they are a hundred years old.
A fine group of box bushes adorns
the old Elias Boudinot mansion on
East Jersey street, Elizabeth, where
both Washington and Lafayette were
entertained in the old days. Four
large bushes are still fourishing on
the Stoudinger property, 353 Broad
street, corner OF Clay, in Newark. The
house was built in 1882, and the box
must have been planted later, but
each of the four specimens is at least
ten feet high and as many in diam

for them time and again. but have
been refused. Doubtless there are
many other fine specimens of the old
time favorite box, but large and
shapely tree is still q valuable and

FIGHTING AT SHORT RANGE
Italian Soldiers Persist In Using the
Rifle and Disregard "Useful-
ness" Of Bayonet.

Among the Italian troops fighting in
the Isonza region are those from Cor
lea, Sardinia and the south of Italy.
These. when hand-to-hand fighting
comes. throw away their rifles with
their bayonets, and drew their dag
gers, assailing their man at close bod
lily quarters. They cannot be taught
to use the knife or bayonet on the
rifle; they want knife In their hand
old centuries-long use of the knife and
stiletto cannot be overcome. And
this doubtless is an inheritance. The
Romans fought all their wards hand
to-hand with knives or short swords.
The infantry line which was the main
reliance in all battles advanced and
threw the plum, which was short.
heavy spear, that at thirty PAGES went
like rifle shot and small battering
ram combined. After this one dis
charge the men drew their swords or
knives and advanced to bodily con-
test, shield against shield, with cut and
thrust to decide. And the Romans

OF hand grenades is one illustration,

threw grenades. The French now

the cannonade and rifle fire. The Ger.

When the military %aeroplane is

One is the pilot. who run and steers
the craft; the other is the observer,
who marks the placing of the hostile
troops, the position Of their guns, the
movement of trains. and the like. The
observer also makes many sketches
OF the ground over which he is fly
ing-work that often interferes with
his writing notes and memoranda. In
certain conditions of flight. too. 1t is
often hard for him to use a pencil
and paper. To obviate that difficulty.
the military aeroplane, says the Scien-
tific American, now frequently carries
a photograph. with a speaking tube
running to the mouth of the observer,
so that by talking into the machine at
any time during the flight, he can re-
cord his observations, and still have
his hands free for his field glass or
his sketching pencil.
