No Evidence OF Warning

London, Sept. THE Allan llue Of
fcials, after an investigation Of the
sinking of the steamship Hesperian,
said today that they had failed to find
any evidence that the liner was warn
ed by the submarine before the eX-
plosion occurred which caused her to
sink. 1t Is definitely established that
the Hesperlau was not conveyed by
naval patrols. There is no doubt that
she carried a A. inch gun mounted
and visible on her stern.

today. This mornings editions had
not yet received word that there was
any loss OF life, and in the belief that
the ship had been attacked and sunk
without death TO any one, some of the

SHEEP DURING WARM SEASON
Particular Attention Should Be Paid
to Water SuppIy-Place the Flock
Near Running Stream.

Particular attention should be Civ.
en- the sheep in warm weather rela-
tive to their supply Of water. You
know, many old fogy farmers still
contend that sheep can get all the
water they require from the dews.
This is certainly a mistaken idea, and
one that is absolutely cruel, for sheep
need water as much as any of the
other farm animals, though they do
not drink as much as some others.
I suppose it. is fact that sheep can
subsist on the dews as their means
of water, but they never do so well
as those that have all they can drink,
says writer in Farm Progress.
When an animal is forced to live on
less than the normal water supply, it
is sure to be- very uncomfortable. To
do well and put on flesh, they should
have a. running stream of water where
they can reach it.
Many sheep raisers have a tendency
to- let the sheep take care of them
selves, after shearing time has passed,
and there are so many other farm
duties demanding attention. Where
there are young lambs, they should be
well cared for in order to make the
best growth possible before market
ing in the fall. They are hard to get
in shape to sell when they have been
forced to look out for themselves.
If one happens to have a running |
stream of water in the sheep pasture, |
he may consider himself fortunate. A |
pond is next best, and often one is
obliged to put up a few rods of fenc.
ing to inelose a pond, spring, or part
Of creek.

BEST WIDTH OF GOOD ROADS
Old Turnpikes, Still Our Best Road
Ways, Were Not Wlde-BuiIt for
Service and Profit,

one OF the best roads | have ever
driven over was just wide enough for
two vehicles to pass without sCraping
the paint off each others hubs. [ am
not sure that sometimes the hubs did
not touch. But it was a road that
was always in good condition and the
men who kept it up seemed to do so
with comparative ease, writes w. E.
Rose OF Iowa in Farm Progress,
Some Of the old turnpikes, still our
best roadWays, were not a rod in
width. When these roads were built
they were built for both service and
profit, and in figuring the future prof.
its the builders saw that the wider the
roadway and the wheel track the more
maintenance cost and, therefore, the
less profits.
1t Is a pity that the men who laid
out the first 60-foot and 66-foot high
ways hadn't taken leaf from the
book of the turnpike builders. If they
had we would not have millions of
acres of land lying worse than idle
along our public highway right of ways.
Say that the road runs 20 miles from
county seat to county seat. Along its
length there will be anywhere from 80
to 12O acres Of land growing up in
weeds, road grass, brush and thickets
where 1t is not being washed into deep
roadside gulItes. Why, in some states
there is full half million acres of
land that is being wasted in Just
that way and land in these states is
selling anywhere from $50 to 5000
an acre!
Many Of the best and most famous
roads Of Europe are but 161s feet in
width and they handle some of the
very heaviest highway traffic. Right
now in those counties and townships
in this country where hard roads, per.
highways, are being construct.
ed, few Of them are being built more
than Is feet wide and good many
Of them are even narrower.
The railroads, wasteful as they are
in some things, are beginning to real
lze the waste Of useless right of way. |

S0WS NEED GOOD ATTENTION
Neglect at Farrowing Time Will Eat
Up All Profits Made in Year
Feed Is Important Problem.
(By H. NJ. COTTRELL.D

Give the SOW all the water she
wants for the first "a hours after the
pigs are born, but no grain. Take the
chill off the water in cold weather.
For three or four days after the first
"A hours, give plenty of water, but
feed grain and milk sparingly Then
Slowly increase until, when the pigs
are three weeks old, the SOW is having
all the feed she will consume. Give
the pigs exercise and sunshine from
birth, but do not allow them to get
damp nor to be exposed to the wind
When the SOW is given warm, rich
slop, or other milk-producing feeds
just after her pigs are born, a strong
milk flow is forced. The newborn
pigs get too much and have diarrhea,
which often kills them. They cannot
take all the milk, and the sow's udder
becomes infiamed and caked. When
the pigs suckle the pain becomes so
intense that in desperation she jumps
up, kills and eats them.
The profits for a whole year can be
thrown away in few hours by little
neglect at farroWing time. An inves-
tigation in one Of the chief hog-pro.
ducing sections showed that the farm

CARING FOR FALL CHICKENS
Wise Thing to Attend to Chicks
Brought Late in Season-Nice
Profit Made on Three Hatches.

More attention should be given to
fall chickens, for there is q large
profit made in them. Very often hers
steal their nests away and come up
with chicks in the fall. These are, as
rule, neglected and the chicks die
from exposure and want of food. Ex-
perience has taught me, says a writer
in an exchange, that it is wise thing
to care for these chicks, for they will
live through the winter if properly
taken care of, and be ready for the
market in March or April when the
price of young fries is good.
Last fall the first Of November,
had three hens to hatch out "a chicks.
I have a room at one end Of my chick
en- house that is plastered and has
floor and windows in it. gave all
the chicks to one hen, and put them
with her in this room. l kept plenty
Of straw on the floor for warmth and
litter, provided them with a box of
oyster shells, and fed them on winter
alfalfa, grains, meat scraps and hot
mash made Of middlings.
/ had nice bunch of chicks ready
for the market. / made a contract with
the manager Of large hotel to sell
them to him for 60 cents a pound.
One does not mind the labor spent
when considering the nice profit.
These chicks were hatched by
hens which stole their nests away.

SECURITY DEMANDED
FOR AMERICAN SHIPS
Does Not Regard "An Opportunity to
Escape In Life Boats" Sufficient
Safety for Americans.

y Observation-Disclosures Monday OF
the text of the latest note sent by the
United States to Germany in the case
Of the American ship William p. Frye
reveals that the United States does
not regard IAN opportunity to escape
In lifeboats" as sufficient safety for
passengers and crew OF any American
vessel destroyed when carrying con-
traband.
In the note, which is dated October
II, Secretary Lansing expressed sat.
isfactiOn that Germany agreed to the
American proposal for a joint commits
sion of experts to fix damages for the
loss of the Frye sunk by the commerce
raider Prinz Eitel Friedrich, and con-
ours in the suggestion from Berlin
that it is not necessary to appoint an
umpire in advance.
In agreeing to submit to arbitration
differences which have arisen over the
Interpretation of the Prussian-Ameri-
can treaty of 1928 the United States
places on record its understanding
that no rights are waived in the inter
val. Germany already has given as
SuranCes that, pending arbitration,
American ships carrying conditional
COntraband will not be molested, but
since practically every commodity of
has been made absolute
Contraband, the value of the asSur-
ances is regarded by officials as COM
paratively small
The, American government holds
that the treaty of 1928 does not per
nit the destruction under any circum-
stances of American vessels carrying
contraband of any character and In its
note insists that while arbitration is
In progress more security than is af-
rorded in lifeboats should be given to |
passengers and crews on American
vessels which the German naval COM
manders may deem it necessary to de-
stroy for carriage of absolute contra
band.
