CONSTRUCTING THE BIG GUNS
Enormous Amount Of Labor involved
In the Making Of These
Weapons Of War.

A fascinating sight is to watch the
first stages in the manufacture of the
big guns, which are proving so devas-
tating In the war. A solid ingot Of
steel, some fifty feet in length and
weighing about one hundred tons, is
employed In the making of a 13-inch
gun. After being forged and then al
lowed to cool, so that 1t may be
toughened for the heavy work, this gi-
gantic bar of steel is pressed into cylin-
drical shape by powerful hydraulic
press. which exerts a pressure of any
thing between 5000 to 10000 tons to
the square inch. Later what is known
as the trepanning operation is carried
out. namely drilling the bore from end
to end. Next the bore is rified.
The most impressive sight. however,
Is the hardening process. when the
rough weapon is heated to dazzling
white heat and plunged into a well
full Of oil. If the operation takes
place In the night time the sight of
this big. glowing bar of metal being
lowered apparently into the bowels Of
the earth issuing leaping tongues Of
flames from the burning OIL may be
likened to scene from Dante's Infer
no. The gun is left to cool in the oil
bath, out Of which 1t comes hardened.
toughened and tempered.
Now follows the wire-winding opera
ton to make the weapon stronger and
impart to 1t some measure Of elastic
ity. This wire winding is much the
same in principle as the whipping on
the handle Of cricket bat In this
case, however. the whipping takes the
form of strong steel ribbon, which
is wound around the body of the gun.
Every 13-inch gun has about one hun
dred and twenty miles Of this steel
ribbon wound about 1t. Some idea of the
labor involved in the manufacture Of
one Of these guns may be gathered
from the fact that from start to finish
the time occupied is IL months.

CARING FOR THE RAM
Head of Average Farm Flock Re-
ceives Little Attention.
Should Be Given Every Opportunity to
Keep Strong and Healthy Before
Breeding Season Beglns-GIve
Abundance of Water.

Usually, the ram which heads the
average farm flock receives very lit
tie care from the time he Is turned
out to pasture in the spring until the
advent of the breeding season in the
fall. Then, about the only thing which
is done is to turn him in with the ewes
and allow mating to occur at random.
Perhaps this is the sort of care and
management which results in many
barren ewes and weak lambs.
The mating season is naturally one
of severe strain on the ram and he
should be given every possible oppor-
tunity to keep strong and healthy.
This means that he ought to have the
proper kind of care, even before the
breeding season begins. OF course,
If the pasture is plentiful, there is not
any need Of feeding anything else
during the early part of the grazing
season. However, as the hot weather
comes and the grass becomes less
abundant and less succulent, it may
be advisable to feed other roughage
or perhaps little grain.
Especially during the mouth just
preceding the mating season should
the ram get the best Of feed and care,
for experience has shown that the ram

Some farmers believe that a colt

young animal that is not kept growing

large and strong as 1t would have

colt should receive the proper kind
of feed and be fed literally. The feed
should be nutritious and palatable.
Among the best colt feeds is fresh

USES FOR MANURE SPREADER
Time and Labor Saved by Distributing
! FertilIzer--Vehlcle Can be Used
as Common Wagon.

Using the manure spreader for dis
tributing fertilizer is another of those
cases Of saving time and labor over
the old method of hand scattering. A
spreader can be as quickly and easily
loaded as a common wagon while the
time required to unload is about one
fourth that of unloading by hand. Be-
sides. the driver has chance to rest
while unloading the spreader, conse-
quently he can load the spreader again
quicker and easier than where he tires
himself in unloading by hand This
saving in time and work enables one
to do from two to three times more
hauling, which of course reduces the
cost accordingly.
But the greatest profit in connec-
ton with the work of the spreader is
that of economy in the use Of the
manure. When distributed by the
spreader 1t will cover two or three
times as much land as when scattered
by hand, for all Jumps and hard pieces
will be torn into fine particles and
distributed evenly over the ground.

The FriendIv OYSTER.

Science is always defending the ma
hgned oyster. 1t has been proved that
more. nourishment per dollars worth
may be extracted from the oyster than
almost any other food.
DR.. Julius Nelson, the biologist,
says:
"Oysters come nearer in compost
ton to cows milk than do most other
meats, as all the four kinds of nutri-
ents needed are present in good de-
gree. Oysters have larger excess of
the flesh-building substance relative
to the other constituents than milk, so
we balance the ration by addition of
starchy food and fats when eating oys-
tiers, thus securing a good meal at a
cost that compares favorably with that
when other meats are chosen.
oysters have some special points
of advantage. among which are the
following:
THE sea salts that they contain are
useful in regulating and stimulating
nutritional processes.
They are the tenderest of meats and
easily digested and suitable even for
persons of sedentary habits.
IN addition to being easily safe
guarded against accidental contamina-
ton, there is no oyster parasite known
that will live in the human system"

the ram which is in poor flesh. Oats
Is one of the best grains for use
at this time.
In addition to providing plenty Of
pasture, and a small amount Of grain
during the late summer, the ram
should have an abundance Of water.
The usual practice in pasturing the
ram during the summer months is to
place him in small paddock or an
orchard, where there Is no natural
water supply. Under such conditions
it is necessary to supply water by ar
tificial means. And when the water
is supplied little salt may be given
