TRAWLERS DO GOOD
 RESCUE WORK

RESCUE WORK
 Trawlers rescued most of those who were saved. others got away in the boats. Those still on the steamer when the ex- plosion occurred were thrown into the sea and it took the fishermen an hour to pick up those in tho water who managed to keep afioat.
 The Aguila was attacked off the Penn brokeshire coast. The submarine, which in this case was the U-2S. opened fire kill ing women passenger, the chief engineer and two of the crew. Even after the crew had commenced to lower the boats, ac- cording to the survivors, the Germans kept up their fire and some of the boats were riddled
 The captain of the trawler Ottilie, whom the commander of the submarine told of the sinking of the Aguila, went to the rescue and picked up three boats contain ing 19 of tho crew. A fourth boat could not be found and it is presumed she foun- dered. On the arrival at Fishguard sew eral Of the crew wore bandages, having been wounded by the fire from the subma- rine.
 Another Dutch steamer, the Amstel of 495 tons, has been blown up by mine off Flamborough head, but her crew was rescued.
 l Outside of the sinking of these steamers the only news of importance today was of the renewal of activity by the Russian Black sea fleet, which bornbarded the fort on the Bosphorus, and the announce ID, had been reinforced by modern fighting units, presumably dreadnaughts built in Russian yards.
 The battles in the Carpathian passes are proceeding with ever increasing vio- \ 1ence. The Russians now hold the west ern passes and are advancing into Hun gary, but the eastern passes remain in the hands of the Germanic allies who, however, are strongly pressed by their re- inforced adversaries.
 The situation is unchanged in East Galicia and Bukowina. In North Poland the Germans claim to have driven the Russians from Tauroggen. which they stormed.
 In the west the mine warfare continued without any important changes in the positions of the two armies ! At the request of the shipyard owners the British chancellor of the exchequer has promised to submit to the cabinet a proposal to prohibit the sale of intoxicat- ing liquors fin Great Britain during the war,

TENNESSEE FARMER

The story published in The
Times in August, of the Duroc
Jersey hogs, bred ard raised by
S. P. Clark & Son, of Clark
Grove Farm, four miles from
Maryville on the Knoxville pike,
was reproduced in the East
Tennessee Farmer of October 20.
The cut that was used in The
Times was furnished to the
Farmer, and this illustration,
with the story, occupies the
middle columns of the front page
of the Farmer. AS a foot note
to the story, which is credited to
The Times, Mr.. Williams, the
editor, makes mention of the
article appearing in The Times
and says that he purchased two
young hogs from Mr.. Clark,
which he now has at his farm
near..Knoxville. He has register
ed his hogs in the National Duroc

MANAGEMENT OF THE BULL.
(By C. D. Lowe, Division Of Extension
University of Tennessee.)

| (By C. D. Lowe, Division of Extension
University of Tennessee.)
The ownership of the best bulls in
the world would be disastrous to Ten
nessee farmers, il they persist in the
present methods of the majority in
handling them.
1t is more often the rule than the
exception to see creditable bulls run
ming in pastures with from 25 to 100
females. Such practices can not be
too harshly condemned. The results
are too well known to be recorded;
however, the tendency to end such a
system is not evident.
Young bulls are ruined for breeding,
really before they have a chance to
show their worth, and older bulls are
given an opportunity to show traits
termed "roguishness" that end in their
consignment to the block before their
real period of usefulness is ended.
There is no good reason why the serv-
ice of a good bull can not be doubled
or tripled over that usually obtained,
by properly conserving his powers and
using him in different herds or COM
munities, when such is necessary to
prevent inbreeding.
There is only one proper place for a
bull and that is in properly con-
structed and arranged lot or paddock
where there is water, shade, aid room
for exercise. Of course pasture is de-
sirable, but if it is necessary to feed
the bull the year around, it will be
paying proposition when the useful
ness of really good bull is at stake.
Arrangements can easily be made to
facilitate the introduction into the lot
of females for breeding, by the plac-
ing of gates-allow only one complete
service, as experience has shown that
it is as sure as !. dozen.
If the bull is at al vicious, it is ad-
visable to have a strong wire running
overhead the length of his enclosure.
On this wire place an iron ring, to
which tie a wire or rope connecting
with ring in the bulls nose. BY this
method there is no interference with
exercise and it will moi be necessary
to unfasten the bull for service

BUILDING THE
DAIRY FARM
Now is the Most Convenient
Time of the Year For
Such Work
SELECT HIGH DRY GROUND
Plans for Building Barns, SiIos and
Milk Houses Will Be Fur
nshed Free.
(By c. A. Hutton, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)

|
sion, University of Tennessee.)
The late summer and fall months /:
an excellent time for building barns
and milk houses. Farm work is less
pressing and the work can be more
| conveniently done at this season than
in cold weather. This is especially
true with regard to the building OF
dairy barns, since the cows can be
MIXED in the barn lot for a few days
If 1t should be necessary to remove the
old barn to make room for a new one.
Again, it is difficult to put down con,
crete successfully during cold weather
One of the first things to consider is
the general type of the barn-whether
any farm live stock except cows are
to be kept in the barn, and the num-
Der of animals to be cared for. The
best plan is to have the dairy herd in
barn by itself, as there is less con-
fusion, the danger of loss from fire is
reduced, and it can be kept more sani-
tary. Where the dairy herd is small
and only a few horses and other live
stock are kept general purpose barn
may be used, in which all Of the live
stock are housed. 1t Is a good plan to
store hay above the cows, provided a
tight ceiling is provided. Nothing but
self-supporting roof should be used.
This increases the hay capacity; there
are no posts in the way of the hay; it
makes a more durable roof, works
much better than a straight roof, and
costs practically the sameA Bank barns
are usually unsatisfactory in the South.
They are poorly lighted and poorly
ventilated.
Select a convenient location on high,
dry ground, easily accessible to fields,
water and other buildings. Never
build a dairy barn less than 80 feet
wide nor more than SO feet. Less than
this width is inconvenient, and more
than SO feet is useless and unnecessary
expense. Never put in more than two
rows Of cows. If horses or other live
stock are to be sheltered in the same
barn, put them in one end of the barn
away from the COWS, rather than to
one side of the co Wstalls, as this
would shut off light and ventilation.
The cows may face in or face out,
but it is usually considered best to
have them face out. They get the fresh
air as soon as it enters the barn, and
this is the handiest arrangement for
milking and cleaning out the barn. Put
in at least four square feet of window
space for each COW. Concrete makes
the most sanitary floor and is cheap
est In the end. A stall for an average
size Jersey cow should be feet
inches wide by feet inches long.
Barn plans, blue prints and advice
about the construction of modern dairy
barns, silos and milk houses will be
furnished free to farmers of the State
who will write to tie Dairy Specialist,

FACTS TO Be KEPT IN MIND
WHEN FILLING The SILO

| (By c. A. Hutton, Division of Exten
sion, University of Tennessee.)
The best stage for cutting corn fol-
silage is when the bottom blades have
turned brown and the grain is well
glazed. At this stage the shuck will
begin. to show a slight brown color.
About fodder pulling time," or just a
little later, is a good time for putting
corn into the silo. 1t Is a good plan
to let the corn get as ripe as possible
in order to preserve we'll, as the plant
contains more dry matter and great
er feeding value as it nears maturity.
Fairly good silage may be made from
dry corn stalks, provided an abundant
supply of water is run into the silo
along with the corn. Much better sill
age is had if the corn is cut at the
proper stage. 1t is important to have
just the right amount of succulence, or
juice, in the corn; and If this is not
there use plenty of water in filling by
turning a Stream from a hose directly
into the blower pipe of the cutter. Do
not be afraid of using too much water
if the corn is very dry. If sorghum
is grown with the corn for silage it
will be ready when the corn is in the
proper condition for cutting.
The corn may be cut either by hand
or with corn harvester. Where the
amount to be harvested Ia small 1t
will be found to be to the best inter
ests of all for number of farmers to
club In together and purchase har-
vester. Corn should not be cut long
before it is to be placed in the silo,
as it dries out very rapidly
The best types of cutters are equip
ped with a blower attachment for ele-
waiting the cut corn into the silo. The
power required Is about one horsepow-
er for every one-inch length in the
cutting cylinder. A Pinch cutter will
require a 12-horsepower engine, and a
15-inch cutter about a 15-horsepower
engine If a gasoline engine Is used.
If a steam engine is used it should
have at least twc-thirds the rated
horsepower as that indicated for the
gasoline engine.
The silage should be cut in lengths
from one-half to one inch. Cutting in
short lengths, filling slowly and thor
oughly packing the silage gives best
results. Put the best, heaviest and
most energetic men in the silo to keep
the silage evenly distributed and we'll
packed. Keep the silage at least a
foot higher around the wall than in
the center, and see that It is espe-
cially we'll tramped around the wall.
When the silo has been filed it is a
good idea to run on a good amount of
water. This helps to settle the silage
and exclude the air. This Is espe-
cially important If the crop La too dry.

Care In Vaccinating Hogs

When shoates or pigs are heavily
infested with worms, vaccination
may result in considerable loss.
Hogs that are excessively fat
are not as good risks for vacci-
nation as animals in medium con-
dition.
Farmers must provide proper
care of hogs before and after
treatment to reduce the risk to a
minimum.
Many of the undesirable results
following vaccination are due to
the condition of the hogs, or to
the surroundings under which
they are kept.
The following points in hog
management should be carefully
considered:
l. Ascertain beyond a doubt
whether or not cholera is present
in the herd.
2. Animals stand the excite
ment and shock of vaccination
better if the intestinal track is
empty; if free from parasites; if
in medium flesh; if kept cool dur
ing the operation and confined in
a clean, disinfected stall, bedded
with straw while awaiting the
injection of serum.
3. The point of incubation
must be thoroughly cleaned and
disinfected. The animals must
not be allowed access to dirty,
filthy wallows before or after
treatment. 1t is impossible to
clean a dirty hog with a small
amount of antiseptic so that serum
can be injected with any degree
of cleanliness. Assesses are
most often the result of the filth
ness of the hogs and not to any
fault of the operator who en-
ploys proper precautions with his
syringe and serum.
4. There must be a clean,
dust-free enclosure for the hogs
at the time of incubation,
5. Following vaccination hogs
must be Kept in clean quarters
for at least two days. Dirty
wallows should be avoided. A
good plan is to keep hogs in a
we'll bedded stable. The feed |
should be laxative in nature.
Losses sometimes follow vacci-
nation in the winter months be-
cause animals are placed in damp,
filthy quarters.
6. Great care is employed in
preparing pure, potent serum. i,
There is little risk in injecting
good serum into hogs that are
prepared for the oper-
alton and properly cared for
following it.

A Warming To
The Ladies Of
Tennessee

There recently appeared in the
public press all over Tennessee
an advertisement with a heading
as follows:
WOMEN, IT IS EASY TO
DRY CLEAN WITH GASOLINE
AND SAVE $500"
recommending that you purchase
two ounces of 'Solvite" and put
it in two gallons of gasoline, place
same in an open wash boiler or
large dish-pan, appealing to your
sense of economy to save and
thereby placing your lives and
property in jeopardy.
We wish to warn the people of
the great danger incurred in
carrying out the recommendation
of such INSCRIPTIONS manufacture
ers, whose sole object is to sell
some drug or compound to their
financial gain, regardless of the
death and destruction that such
recommendation may cause to
the public. We could not imagine
anything that would bring more
disastrous results than to place
two gallons of gasoline in open
vessels in the homes where our
women and children reside, such
an amount of gasoline being
sufficient, when the vapor of
same is properly mixed with air,
to completely destroy a large
building. The fact is, the vapor
from gasoline is heavier than the
air, will settle to the floor and
spread to an open fire or light.
Unlike other explosives, this
dangerous explosive vapor will
hunt the fire. 1t does not remain
stationary and wait for the fire
to come to it, and when properly
mixed with air the explosion is
terrific. The vapor from two
gallons of gasoline is equal in eX-
plosive force to one hundred and
sixty seven (167) pounds of dyna-
mite, and we appeal to the ladies
of Tennessee never to use gasoline
in open vessels in or near the
home. If it is absolutely neces-
sary that you use such oils, do so
out of doors in the open air, away
from the home, and let the gar
ment or other fabric remain in
the open air an hour or more
until the vapor has all left same,
in which case there will be little
danger unless fire should be close
to the gasoline.
There are hundreds of people
killed in this country every year
and in many cases suffer untold
agonies by using such volatile
oils as gasoline and naphtha for
domestic purposes. Such disas-
trous accidents are in most cases
caused from the fact that the
people are unfamiliar with the
great dangers of these vaporous
liquids.
We appeal to the druggists,
mercantile establishments and
merchants to refuse to sell such
compounds which create a fire
hazard by their use in gasoline,
and as such, is prohibited by the
Laws of the State, and this
Department will use it's official
powers to prevent the sale of any
preparation which necessitates
the creation of a fire hazard be-
fore same can be used for the
purpose for which it is intended.
