tank is spliced in in its place. Then
the cable is paid out as the ship re.
turns to the buoy marking the location
of the other end. With this recovered,
the ship has both the San Francisco
and Honolulu ends Of the cable on
board. Tests are made to ascertain
that no other faults have developed
and that both sections are in good
condition. A message reading Com.
munication restored-now making final
splice" is sent to both of the stations.
Following this message two hours are
allowed before the stations attempt to
communicate with each other. This is
a very busy two hours on board the
cable ship. The ends Of the cable are
secured over the sheaves at the bow
and are connected by a splice from SO
to 40 feet long. With the splice com.
pleted two ropes, one at each side OF
the bow, are attached to the cable and
it is lowered overheard and Stacked
out slowly until it reaches the surface
of the water. A block of wood is placed
on the deck under each Of the ropes.
At a given signal the ropes are cut at
the same time with axes, the ends OF
the ropes fly overheard and the cable
sinks to the bottom of the ocean. AS
the cable disappears from view, the
engines are run full speed ahead and
cable ship returns to port.

boxes. The window sash are hinged
at the bottom to drop in at the top,
so the air will follow up the sash and
discharge against the stable ceiling
without spilling at the sides. Both
Of these plans have the same object
that is, to distribute the fresh cold
air above the cows to prevent draft
from striking them.
Sometimes the window boxes are
made to drop the sash either in or
out. to regulate the ventilation of the
stable both winter and summer, but
such windows are difficult to make
tight. There are times when they
should be closed almost air tight. For
this reason stable windows should be
very carefully made, to shut against
solid stops.
Another plan of taking air into a
stable is by means of fiue in the
bottom of the concrete feed alley. A
wooden walk protects the hue and
lets the air in directly in front of the
COWS, so that their nostrils get the
first chance at it. Theoretically, this
is the proper way to admit fresh air
into a well-built COW stable.
The main idea is to build a stable
as near air tight as possible, and to
admit plenty of fresh air as the cows
need it, and to discharge the foul air
as fast as it accumulates.

also to get depth SUFFICIENT to go OO-
low frost.
Ground TO support the floor is very
carefully graded and the earth made
firm and solid by being thoroughly
wetted down with water and pounded
into place.
The center supporting piers are
large, wide footings. The columns that
support the weight of the roughage
stored overhead rest on these piers,
80 they require good footings. The
floor OF the stable is carefully laid out
to give the proper incline to the stand
ing stalls, the cutters and the walking
floor along the sides of the stable.
The concrete for the floor is care
fully mixed with a rough cheap mix
ture for the lower strata This is sur.
faced with fairly rich water-proofed
cement mortar. The surface is made
smooth for easy cleaning except
where the cows stand and walk. Most
daiISmen prefer to rough the floor at
the back of the COWS and the back
part of the standing floor next to the
cutters. This is done by using
rough surface trowel after the rich
cement has be9n laid with the smooth.
ing trowel The rough surface is
carefully applied so as not to interfere
with the true even surface. The OBJ
ject is to make It rough enough to
prevent the cows from slipping.
The illustration shows a barn "a
feet in length. There are four venti-
lating fiues to carry off the foul air,
one fue in each corner of the stable.
These flues reach up the sides of the
building to the plate, then follow the
slant of the roof to the ventilators
shown above the peak at the ends Of
the roof The center ventilator is for
the NOW. Ventllators have been
found necessary to regulate the draft
in the ventilating flues. The wind
varies on different days, so that the
suction needs to be modified on windy
days and encouraged when the air is
still There are a number of ven
tilator hoods that attend to the regu.
lation of these out-take flues, so that
the air in the stable may be kept in
good condition.
There are several ways of supplying
fresh stable air from the outside. The
commonest plan is to take the air in
at an opening made two or three feet
above the ground, and carry it up
through the outside wall and dis.
charge it into the stable near the cell
ing. Another plan is to build special
window frames with V-shaped side

at speed of one or two knots an hour

right angles to the line of the cable.
While the ship is engaged in graphing
| a member of the crew, ordinarily the
fourth officer sits on the grapnel rope
near the bow and can usually tell by
the strain when the cable has been
hooked. The instant the cable is
hooked the ship is stopped and the
grapnel rope is slowly wound in by
the hauling machinery. Sometimes the
cable will stand the heavy strain of
being lifted until it reaches the sur.
fa~o, only to snap and sink to the bot
tom again before it can be secured.
When this happens the ship steams to
new location and starts graphing
anew.
When the cable is brought safely to
the surface, 1t is first secured on either
side of the grapnel by what is known
as a chain stopper" this work being

in a boatswains chair. The cable is
then cut, each end is connected to the
instrument in the testing room, and
the stations at San Francisco and Hon.
olulu are each called up. 1t is more
than likely, of course, that the ship
will not be able to speak to one Of the
stations, as the fault will probably lie
at some point between the ship and
the station In case it is necessary for
the ship to steam one way or the other
to find the fault, as it usually is, 1t is
necessary to leave one end of the cable
behind and to secure it so that it can
be raised again without graphing One
of the big seven-ton buoys shown in
the illustration is made ready, flag is
put on it, and 1t is lifted overheard by
a derrick. One end of the cable is at
tached to the buoy by long mooring
chain and rope and is allowed to sink
to the bottom, the buoy itself being
held in place by a mushroom anchor.

cable comes on board at the rate of |
one or two miles an hour and is coiled !
by the men into one of the large round
tanks that take the place Of the hold
in an ordinary ship. The cable is
guided from the bow to the tank by a
series Of sheaves placed at intervals
on the deck. While this operation is
going on, the electricians continue test

several times before the actual fault is
on board. With the fault found, the

Most dairy farmers feel that a con-

tirely above ground, with light and air
on all four sides, there is no objection
If the stable is provided with suffi-

There has been considerable change
in the manner of building dairy sta
bles. The first concrete or stone
basement stables were built into hill
sides, At that time three reasons
were given. A hillside afforded good
drainage. A bank cellar basement is
warm in winter and cool in summer.
The third reason for using bank was
to have an easy driveway from the
high ground into the barn.
At that time it was considered nee
essary to have a threshing floor. The
threshing machine occupied the floor
two or three days in the year. 1t
finally dawned upon farmers that
threshing floor that is idle three hun
