TORPEDO IS
The new Hammond projectile
consists of the torpedo itself, sub
merged and attached to a float,
which would barely come to the
top of the water, and might be
totally submerged. All that would
be visible to the enemy's ship
would be the two small radio
poles which would extend into the
air.
1t has been demonstrated in
tests by the coast artillery branch
that this type of torpedo can be
controlled absolutely at great dis

HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS

Christmas originally Cristes masse ("the mass
or church festival of Cbrist'O, is the English
name for the season in which the birth of Christ
is cOmmemorated. 1t is apparent, however, that
a festival celebrated at this season long be-
fore it was held sacred as the birthday of Jesus
of Nazareth. The Saturnaa of the Romans and
the winter festival of the heather Britons were
both celebrated about December 25; and later,
the Roman festival in horror of the sun god,
Mithra INSTITUTED 273 A. d. From the latter the
day became to be known as the Birthday Of the
Unconquered Sun" and after its adoption by the
Christian church in the fourth century as the
anniversary of Christs birth, this name was
given a symbolic Interpretation.

room standards makes possible on
many occasions exceedingly profitable
side-sales of eggs and breeding stock;
third, because there is no better guide
to the best breeding than the limits
of standard variety, so that one
avoids the dangers of mongrel blood
by striving to develop the very high
est type Of turkeys within the confines
of the one breed.
Ranking the desirable characteris-
tics of the best turkeys in the order
of their importance might gihe Sc
quence something like this: Hardi-
ness, yigor, immunity from disease,
Quickness of growth, alertness and in
telIigence, bone and frame, shape, size,
feathering and tameness. Several Of
these qualities are more or less inter
dependent, but the list gives about the
right impression. Turkey stock that
is prolific is also to be desired, but
this quality is so closely allied to
those first mentioned that it hardly
requires a separate listing.

TO INSURE GOOD EGG YIELD
Nothing of Greater Importance Than
Green Feed of Some Kind-Hens
Relish Alfalfa.

Necessary as meat feeding is to in
sure a good egg yield, it is no more
important than feeding some kind of
green feed. For this nothing is better
than cabbage, small enough to be
eaten by the hen in one day. This
should be hung up where the birds
can peck at it without jumping up.
Mangels or beets cut open and
placed on nails VIII usually be eaten
greedily. Onions may be cut up and
fed about twice q week, though they
should not be given for a day or two
before the birds are to be killed for
eating, on account of the disagree
able flavor produced in the meat
Hens, though having a variety Of
grains and a proper amount of meat,
will, if deprived Of green food, fall off
In their egg yield. Cabbage or lettuce
leaves thrown loose on the feeding
floor will largely be wasted, as the
birds have difficulty n tearing the
pieces apart. Potatoes are good pOul-
try food, but should be cooked, as if
given raw they often cause digestive
disturbances. If fed in excess they
are found to be too fattening.
Cut clover and alfalfa, if steamed.

highly heterogeneous, but they will not
