C0ALING WARSHiPS.
Device by Which the Operation 10 Per.
formed at Sea.

Many ingenious devices have been
contrived to enable a warship to be
coaled at sea, but the one which
has survived the most exacting
trials with complete satisfaction and
which has been adopted by the lead
ing navies Of the world is that
known as the "Temperley Trans
porter" system. The collier carries
the necessary equipment to enable
the coaling task to be consummated.
Beneath the bridge there are two
winches. One carries what is called
the main cable, which is stretched
between the two vessels and along
which the coal is transported, while
the second winch, mounted beside
and in line with the former, is
known as the controlling dyna-
mometer cylinder. These winches
are driven by independent machin-
cry mounted close to the drums.
When the warship to be coaled
has been sighted the collier moves
until she is directly astern of and
about 400 feet or so distant from
the first named. Arrangements are
then completed to keep the vessels
in line, and this is accomplished by
the warship virtually taking the col
Iier in tow, although, as a matter
of fact, the latter moves entirely
under her own steam.
The collier lowers a boat and pulls
toward the warship with two towing
hawsers as well as the main cable
transporter, which is cooled upon
the winch already described and
which passes therefrom to the mast
head Of the collier. These cables
are paid out as the small boat adj
vances.
Reaching the warship, the tow
ing hawsers are picked up and made
fast on the port and starboard sides
of her stern. The two vessels are
now practically dashed together, the
collier being in tow. The transport
er cable is likewise picked up and
made fast upon the warship and is
brought to the required tension.
Everything is now ready for the
movement of the coal from one ship
to the other.-Pearson's Weekly. T,

The Queen Termits.

Nearly all insects increase rapid
ly. The queen bee will lay eggs at
the rate of 800 an hour, but even
she cannot compete with the ter
mite, the so called white ant. The
queen termite has been known to
lay $4,000 eggs a day and to keep
up an average of $4,000 a day for
the whole of the laying season,
which lasts about a month. The life
of the queen bee is, however, longer
than that of the termite. She lives
and goes on laying for four or five
summers and in her lifetime lays
at least 100000 eggs. = London

II Kept Washington irving IN the

Anxious sest For Awhile.
When in 1926 Washington Irving
was preparing his life of Colum-
bus,Y he took up his abode at the
home Of the American consul in
Madrid, and some time later, while
collecting materials for his 'Con-
queSt Of Granada" and "The AL
hamfbra,Y he lived for quite a long
time in southern Spain. Then, aft
er serving as secretary of the Amer
lean legation at London, he return
ed from his long sojourn abroad to
his owa country to enjoy the fruits
of his fame.
But as time went on the memo
ries of those days in Spain grew
sweeter and there sprang up in his
breast A longing to visit again the
land where life had been so pleas
ant. So in 1912 he resolved to call
npon. Mr.. Webster, then secretary
OF state, and ask Of him the humble
post Of bearer of dispatches to the
minister to Spain, who was about
to be appointed, in order TO diminl
ish the expenses of a trip to that
country.
When he called on the secretary
at his private residence, however,
and preferred his modest request,
he wss a little embarrassed by the
hesitation of Mr.. Webster, who told
him that he could not grant the re-
quest until he had consulted the
president. Accordingly, Irving took
his leave, his gentle nature some
what hurt By such cold treatment.
Wren he returned a few days lat
er to learn what success his peti
ton had met his embarrassment
was further Increased when in the
course Of q long conversation Mr.
Webster made no alhtsion whatever
to the subject of the much desired
position. At length, convinced that
that was the secretary's method Of
conveying his refusai, irving rose tt
take his departure.
Then MI. Webster, rising with
him, said:
81 regret to say that l have found
it impossible to give you the posi-.
ton tor which you asked the Other

Back to the Soil.

That's the way my back has been
turned for good while. How the farm
has improved since we separated. You'd
scarcely know the old place now.
Whenever boy is dead set on leaving
farm, that farm urgently needs that
boys absence. The farm assistance
given by city-sick chap is hardly visi-
BILE to the nude human eye. That boy
for the time being is almost as useless
on the farm as is the person who returns
to the farm because there seems to be
nothing in the world he can really do
properly.
One of the principal objections boy
has to farm is the work. am going
to take you right into my confidence and
tell you that that was one of the features
most desired to avoid. The toll neces-
sary to be perpetrated between meals on
farm is something scandalous. Thou
sands of boys would stick to the farm If
they had Wallets and could take their
breakfasts in bed.
The boy who leaves the farm to es-
cape work will some day laugh bitterly
at himself and understand fully what a
josher he was ever to think Of that as a
means of escaping work.
II is more likely to get him out of the
common and not unpleasant habit of eat
ing regularly.
Eating regularly and copiously is so
common on the farm that the boy comes
to think it is done just as regularly and
just as copiously elsewhere. When he
finds out the facts, he is deeply surpris-
ed and very hollow in his tripe. he
feels that someone has played dirty
mean trick on him. Aud by reaching
up to scratch his own head he can put
his finger on the very chap who played
it.
But if boy hasn't good sense he had
better try to work at something in the
city. He needs brains if be is going to
farm, especially nowadays, since Old
King Observation-Disclosures has
been dethroned, and intelligence is the
president of the new republic.

a mistake. To point out an error In

Practice and Principle.

Several years ago, nearly thirty-flve In
fact, we remember of having conversa-
tion with q quite we'll to do Wisconsin
farmer, who was strongly opposed to
our ideas of dairy farming. He called
them 'theories" and said that mo man
could take them and earn his living by
them" "Why," he said, "you would
starve II you were compelled to run a
farm the way you talk" He would say,
That may all be true enough in princi-
pie but it won't do in practice"
We said in reply: "If thing is true
| q principle 1t will become true in prac,
tice when you put the theory into prac-
tice. II 1t is false or unsound in theory
and principle it cannot be successfully
carried out in practice"
His idea of what is practical was likr
that of 30 many other farmers, II wasn't
practical IL they had never practiced it.
Isn't it strange what vast number of
farmers have misled and deceived them
selves over that one word practical?
Every improvement, every change of
method or machinery in the conduct OF
farming has been denounced oy most
farmers at one time as not being prscti-
cal.
We remember we'll of hearing leading
farmers in Central New York declare
sixty years ago that the moving ma
chine would never become practical.
Some said it poisoned the grass and
that cattle would sicken and die on the
hay" Others declared that 1t would de-
stroy the meadows. How little the
average man knows of the future, judg
ing by his own day and generation.
The main point of disagreement with
our farmer friend mentioned at the be-
ginning of this article, was that We
stood up for dairy bred cattle for dairy
work while he coutended just az stoutly
for the general purpose" cow, as she
was called in those days That was the
time of the early organization of the
cheese industry. Nine out OF ten cows
on the farms of Wisconsin were either
scrubs, "natives," as they were called,
or grades with half or less of Shorthorn
blood, bred originally from the beefiest
bulls that could be found. 1t seemed as
though almost every farmer was inca
pable of reasoning to wise conclusion
on the COW question. They would say,
sob, yes, tina, Is all very we'll in theory
but for right down solid results give me
the old time cow as we have her."
Looking over the strongest dairy
counties of Wisconsin to-day with their
herds of Holstein, Guernsey, and Jersey
grade cattle, who could recognize the
picture as it once existed? Really, but
few farmers at first followed the light.
The cheese factory dividend told the
story. They set the example. The
great majority have changed their prac-
tice because they have been swept along
by the oucoming tide of better ideas,
better COWS, and better results. Some,
however, are back there in the lowlands
still unconvinced.-Hoa Dairyman.

EARN Mauagement Problems.

Schools of farm management can help
a lot. They can make suggestions, pro-
pose general principles and assist In the
solution of many problems. In the last
analysis, however, each farmer mus,
work out his own system for himself.
Just what farm animals to raise, what
crops to seed, what trees to plant, what
farm implements to buy, are governed
by so many different limitations thai
only the men thoroughly familiar with
all of them can make the best choice
The more these methods are studied,
however, the more competent will
be- the individual farmer to make his
final decisions. Take an inventory
around the first of March, determine
from past experience what crops have
been most profitable, and figure out, il
you can, how soil fertility can be bes'
maintained. Then you will be in posi-
ton to formulate a plan which, taker
one year with another, will bring yor
profit and satisfaction.-N. K. Home

Purebreds VS.. Grades.

Please tell me the reason why 1t Is bet
ter to keep full blood stock than grades.
Fl. d. T.
There are many reasons why pure
bred stock should be kept. When prop
er methods of breeding and selection are
followed, pure-bred live stock will pro-
duce more dairy products than grades,
unless it be high grades that have also
been carefully selected. While grade
animals are practically equal to pure
breds, so far as production is concerned,
the cost OF obtainining high grades is al
most equal to the cost of developing a
herd of pure-breds; pure-bred animals
sell for higher prices than grades, which
is another reason for raising them.
When an animal is registered there is, to
a certain extent, a guarantee that the
animal is above the average in the pro-
duction of dairy products. In other
words, animals belonging to our pure
bred dairy breeds have been bred for
centuries for a definite purpose. The
only way of establishing heredity, that
will be transmitted to coming genera
tious, is to breed and plan for a specific
function.
In the blood of grade animal there
may be found tendencies which do not
favor large flows of milk, due to the fact
that the foreign blood may have beef
her edity rather than dairy heredity. A
pure-bred animal is therefore more like
ly to get high producing animals than
grades. Further, the breeding of pure.
bred stock is far more fascinating than
the breeding of grades. When a per-
son has studied the principles of breed
ing, feeding, and caring for animals sufi
ciently to engage in the mating of ami.
mails to improve their ability, there Is a
satisfaction which is not experienced in
the breeding of grades. 1t will be foun
that boys on the farm can be Interested
great deal more in pure-bred live stock
than in grades. There is something to
look forward to in the way of improving
the animal, and there 10 greater pros.
pect for making money, which we be
lieve is not the great factor in breeding
but which is the chief way OF measur
ing the progress We are making and our
ability to do the things that need to be
done.-HOard's Dairyman.
