SHEER NESS, England. May Is
Persistent runlors that q German
spy touched off the gigantic explo-
sion that sent the steamer Princess
Irene hurting slsyward with loss of
more than 300 lives caused the Brit
ish admiralty today 60 order an inn
mediate investigation.
Admiralty officers who were on the
ground early today ridiculed these
rumors They pointed out that the
same reports went out to the world
when the battleship Bulwark was
blown to pieces at the Sheerness
docks six months ago with loss of
800 lives. The admiralty inyestiga-
ton resulted in the finding that the
Bulwarlx was shattered by an inter-
nal explosion, the nature of which
was never made public.
The Princess Irene, q new 5000
ton liner built for the Ca

almost Immediately commander
ed by the government, had beer
in service as mine layer, and was

Cured may never be known. Not q
! man of the 300 or 400 thought to have
been aboard the Princess Irene es-
| capped, the only survivors or the
crew being three men who were
ashore.
Only ships Stack Remained.
The liner disappeared in one vast
foar of flame and smoke, according
| to Jack Hodges, who was returning
20 the ship in a small boat. When
the smoke drifted away there was
! nothing in sight but piece of the
vessels stack.
"'rhere was a few seconds of dead
silence" said Hodges. "Then things
began spattering down into the
water, bits OF mems legs and arms
and bodies, splinters of wood and
steel. The debris came down so

| Splinters of wreckage spread over
a wide area in falling. some of them

| little girl, four years old, was hurled
to the ground and killed while cross

| Victoria station. Crews OF several
vessels lying near the Princess Irene
suffered severely from the concus-

Now is the time to wage war on the
pesky ground squirrel. AS yet these
pests have little TO feed on and will
more readily tackle poisoned bait
Then, too. this is the season that they
multiply rapidly. making 1t more i'm
portant for farmers to hasten the
process OF determination Here is a
recipe that is said TO be particularly
effective:
Dissolve one-half ounce strychnine
in three pints of water Add one
third ounce anise oil and four tea
cups of sugar. In this solution soak
gallons OF small grain-preferabl
wheat-until 1t swells perceptibly. If
any surplus water remains add suffi-
cient flour to soak 1t up.
A few of the poisoned kernels are
dropped in the squirrels hole. The
little animals will devour them vora-
ciously and almost instant death en-.
sues. Usually the squirrels die out.
side their burrows. Even though the
kernels be partially covered with sol
the fragrance impaired by the anis,
oil will cause the squirrels to dis

OF the members that these petitions
should be granted. but as a PROPOSE

NEED OF SOIL INCUBATION
Different Kinds of Bacteria Required
for Each Plant With Exception of
Alfalfa and Clover.

Leguminous crops such as ~cloVers,
peas, beans, alfalfa and the like, may
fail to do well sometimes, even when
the soil is in good condition and good
seed is used. These plants take their
nitrogen from the air, and they can
not do this unless there is in the soil
a certain kind of bacteria which
changes the air nitrogen to a form the
plant can use.
The bacteria develops on the roots
of the plants, if present, and the pres
ence or absence of them may be
known by examining the plants. Pull
up a few plants and if the right kind
of bacteria are in the soil there will
be nodules-small wart-like lumps-on
the roots. A different kind OF bacteria
is required for each plant, with the
exception of alfalfa and sweet clover,
which have similar requirements in
this line.
The bacteria, if needed, Ia be
supplied in either of two ways. One
way is to drag or drill into the soil
about 200 pounds to the acre of soil
from a field where the kind of crop
to be planted LAS been grown sue
cessfully. The other way is to treat
the bacteria wanted.
The United States department of
agriculture will supply any farmer
with enough of this culture, free. to
treat two bushels of seed.

PROPER FEED FOR DRY cows
Animals Digestive Organs Should BE
Given Rest by Giving Materials
to Build Up Calf.
(Rv W. r

AS soon as a COW stops giving milk
feeding should begin at once for the
following year. There are three spe-
cifc purposes for which she should be
fed during her brief vacation.
First, if she is a good, Woodworking
COW, her last years work has been
wearing on her and her digestive ap-
paratus should have a rest as far as
practicable. To accomplish this pur.
pose feeds of a cooling and light. bulky
nature, as pasture grass, in summer
and silage in winter should be sup.
piled.
Secondly, in feeding the dry COW it
is essential to build up the future calf.
heterogeneous or protein feed mast be
given for this purpose. About all the
alfalfa or clover hay that the COW will
eat, combined with a little bran. is ex-
cellent
The third purpose in feeding is to
store up in the cows body fat to be
drawn upon later, as we'll as stamina
for her coming work. To make u
nothing is better than eoyE, With q
small amount sf other grains. And
there is nothing better for imparting
stamina to an animal than oats.

SOME GOOD INCUBATOR HINTS
Be Sure Machine Is Standing Level
and Keep Door Closed During
Hatching-Other Points.

In running any incubator, the fol-
lowing are important points to re-
member:
Test on the seventh day.
Temperature 1913 degrees.
Fill lamps every evening.
Cool eggs after fourth day.
Turn eggs after fourth day.
Never cool below IS degrees.
Keep burners perfectly clean.
Turn eggs every twelve hours.
Do not turn flame up too high.
Keep machine out of sunlight.
: Put in a new wick for every hatch.
Keep doors closed during Matching.
Be sure the incubator is standing
level.
Discontinue cooling after eighteenth
day.
Discontinue turning after eighteenth
day.
Add moisture only when air cell Is
too small.
Don't let temperature run down dur
ing Matching.

GOOD SEEDED FOR ALFALFA
Early Flowing and Working With
Disk and Harrow.

A mellow, welEcompacted soil
makes a good seeded for alfalfa. The
capillary attraction of the subsoil and
the top soil must be well restored; the
land must be firm with only a little
loose dirt on top. not much more than
is needed to cover the seed.
This condition can be obtained by
early blowing and a great deal OF
work with the disk and harrow.
If the soil is adapted to alfalfa and
is properly prepared, you a be as
certain of getting a stand of alfalfa
as any other crop.

Watch for Pests.

Currant and gooseberry bushes must
be sprayed the moment the worms ap-
pear, which is as soon as the leaves
are well formed. If you delay apply
ing a poisoned spray of paris green
and water and ~arsenate of lead, your
bushes will be stripped in a few days
and then you will be helpless. Pow
dered hellebore can be applied when
the foliage is wet with good results.
This can be bought at the drug store.

AS TO SPECIFIC GRAVITY"
Archimedes Was Central Figure in the
Earliest Record Of Its De-

Parents who may be asked to ex-

classical tale Of the earliest record of
its determination, in connection with
a kings crown. You will recall how

Syracuse, commissioned a goldsmith
to make him a new crown out of a
certain weight of pure gold. He was
a rogue of a smith, but not cunning
enough to bamboozle the greatest of
the Greek mathematicians.
For when the finished product ar
rived the king expressed to Archi-
modes a fear that 1t might contain an
admixture of base metal. To test the
matter, Archimedes put the crown
into a vessel brimful of water. Into
a similar vessel he put an equal
weight of pure gold. The latter

WHY IcEBERes ARE INVISIBLE
Certain Conditions Of Light and SKY
Make II Impossible to Detect
Their Presence.

Many vessels are lost by collisions
with icebergs because. under certain
conditions Of sky and light. the bergs
are quite invisible. Il Is recalled that
on the occasion Of the famous Titanic
disaster. although the ships black hull
was clearly visible to survivors at a
distance OF several miles. they could
