SCREEN c0NcEALs A COUCH
Admirable Scheme Evolved From tho
Brain Of a Woman Who Has
Practical Ideas.

A hospitable little woman who loves
dearly to entertain. but whose domi.
cile is too small to accommodate many
guests. has contrived a very sensible
way to put up the occasional man who
can bunk anywhere"-the anywhere
usually being the living-room couch.
Out of an ordinary wooden clothes
horse, the largest size obtainable. this
hostess has evolved slightly and prac-
tical screen which turns that corner
Of the living rooom in which the couch
is located into very comfortable and
perfectly private bedroom. Opened
sections. completely hides the impro-
vised bed from view. and the screen.
moreover. is almost six feet high. 20

Portland, Ore.-"They are not going

TR|CXEO BY A RUSE
British Cruiser, Masked, Sinks
German Submarine.

man coIIapses, Revealing Big Gun
by Which Submarine 10 Sent
to the Bottom.

New York.-The latest ruse adopted
by the British navy to sweep the seas
of the German submarines was related
by Mr.. Frank F. Boulton, who was q
passenger on board the Noordam Of
the Holland line. Mr.. Boul-
ton received his information from Cap
tain Anderson of the Norwegian
steamship Vitalia. who asserted that
he witnessed the destruction OF a
U-boat by British cruiser.
According to the Norwegian captain.
Mr.. Boulton said, several of the Brit
ish light cruisers have been disguised
as merchantmen. with false tunnels
and superstructure.
The Vitalia was In the channel when
she saw a merchant vessel. flying the
British flag. stopped short distance
from her by a submarine. The subma-
rine, awash, ran close to the British
vessel, and her coming tower opened.
The German hailed the merchantman.
when through their glasses the Vital.
las captain saw the superstructure
Of the British vessel suddenly col
lapse, revealing q large gun. The
next instant the gun was fred. blow
ing the submarines coming tower
away, and the U-boat sank in a swirl
Of frothing water. The commander OF
the submarine and one other man
were saved by the English vessel. the
Norwegian captain said.
Mr. Boulton while in Holland found
out two clever schemes of the Ger
mans to smuggle contraband OF war
through Dutch territory. he said. Ger
man agents in Holland had gathered
large quantities of copper, which was
nodded into the shape of anchors. Ger
man barges and other light craft COM
ing down the Rhine to Dutch ports
would leave their iron anchors, re-
placing them with the copper imple-
ments, painted black. The false an
chors, hung in full view on the cat
heads of the German boats, would be
taken back on the return trip. This
ruse was discovered by the British
agents in Holland and reported to the
Dutch authorities, who now inspect
every anchor on German vessels.
For obtaining benzine and gasoline
the Germans had another trick. A
Dutch railroad inspector, inspecting a
trainload Of cement building blocks
bound for Germany. accidentally
tapped one OF the bricks with ham,
mer. The block cracked and benzine
gushed out. The blocks were hollow
and each one was filed with the
precious liquid. This practice has. of
course, been stopped.
Passengers on board the Noordam
had the war brought close to them
from the moment the vessel left Rot
terdam until she had put the British
coast far astern. The Noordam was
surveyed by German taubes off the
coast Of Holland, was boarded by Brit
ish officers while at Deal, when seven
of her passengers. said to be Austrians.
were arrested and taken ashore. and
was held up four days in the Downs
before she was allowed to proceed.
The Noordam carried 81 first and
139 second cabin passengers and 1SE
persons in her steerage.

(By W. MILTON KELLY.)
Oat straw Is not generally recog.
nized as a valuable food for dairy
COWS; yet II given in reasonable
amounts every two or three days they
will clean it up with a relish, whereas
II given them exclusively as roughage
they will push 1t over the manger and
become as thin as string of shad.
We have seen the weak, emaciated,
straw.fed COW that had to be helped
on her feet each morning in the early
spring, and if grass growing was de-
layed too long the only pay she could
give for her. winters feed was her
hide. Yet well-fed dairy cows relish
light feeding of bright oat straw
after big mess Of corn silage every
few days.
Feed experts tell us 1t is too much
work for the cows to get the nour-
ishment that Is in the straw, and the
weak. emaciated condition OF the
straw-fed cows in the spring substan-
tiates the claim; but that is not the
whole story.
Every observing feeder knows that,
except in rare cases. the roughage
grown on his farm is the cheapest
part of the dairy cows ration, and
also that the dairy cow is especially
built to handle large quantities of
roughage.
II the roughage part OF ration Is
made up largely of clover or alfalfa
hay and ensilage, with little oats
and pea hay, corn stover and other
roughage feeds. we may utilize rough
age to make up three-fourths of the
dry matter of the ration, and the cows
will come out in the best of condition
the next spring, and we will secure the
best profits in dollars.
Heavy grain feeding may make
better showing on milk sheet, but
cot in the net profits, except with
those dairy farmers who live near by
desirable markets, where they can sell
their hay and dairy products for ex-
tremely high prices. If the roughage
concentrates must be larger.
Just how much roughage a cow
should be given at feeding depends
in great measure upon her capacity
to handle It prof1tably. About twenty
pounds Of dry matter may be derived
from a good variety of roughage, ana
from six to ten pounds Of the concen-
trates.
With these proportions in mind, and
with table giving the digestible nu-
trients of the various other materials
used in feeding, 1t should not be
