Submarine Treasure.

A boat is now being built to locate
submarine treasure. The new subma-
rine consists of steel sphere, eight
feet in diameter and capable of carry
ing two workmen. 1t is designed to
be lowered into the water from ten
der, but is provided with electrically
driven propellers by which it can be
moved about in the water as it hangs
at the end of the cable. One of it's
essential features is set of four cleo
tro-magnets, which, when energized
by current from the motors within the
sphere, serve to hold it securely to
the steel hull of sunken ship. Cur
rent for the operation is supplied
through cable running down from
the tender. In addition to this equip
ment it will be provided with electric
drills for piercing the side of the ship,
and with a powerful searchlight for
working purposes and for exploring
the bed of the ocean when the exact
location of sunken ship is not
known.

The dangers of travel by sea at this
time have played havoc with tla
nerves of timid passengers.
Early one morning recently there
was considerable commotion on the.
decks of coastwise vessel plying be-
tween Savannah and Baltimore. whene
a scantily clad man hurried from HIS
stateroom and dashed toward the up
per deck. On the way he ran into tho
captain of the vessel.
Whats the matter, captain?" he
managed to gasp. Have we been tor
pedoed?"
Calm yourself, my dear sir, and be
prepared for the worst, answered the
official.
"oh, don't tell me we're going
down." moaned the other. Quick,
where are the life preservers?"
They wouldn't be of any service at
this stage" explained the captain.
TOO late?" quavered the despairing
passenger

emnly. We've done all we can for

BRUSH DAIRY cow EACH DAY
Any Animal Suspected Of Being in
Bad Health Should Be Removed
From Herd-Keep Barn Clean.

The COW should be brushed with
good stiff brush daily. Any COW sus-
pected of being in bad health should
be promptly removed from the herd
and the milk rejected. Fresh, palatable
feedstuffs should be fed and feed
should never be changed suddenly.
Water in abundance, easy of access
and always pure, fresh but not too
cold. should be provided at all times.
Salt, too, should always be accessible.
The barn should be kept clean and
the stables whitewashed once or twice
every six months. No dry, dusty feed
should be used just before milking.
The stables should be cleaned and
aired thoroughly before milking. Ven
tilation and light are absolutely neces-
sary. No strong smelling material
should be left in the stables for any
length of time. Musty and dirty litter
should never be used.
When the cows are milked the milk
should be removed at once, strained
and aerated. Cleanliness is a good
preventive to keep milk from sour
ing at once.

KITCHENER AS A PET
ROLE WOULD CONE AS SURPRISE
TO HIS sURoRDlNATEs.
Nevertheless, Graphic Picture Has
Been Drawn Of His Friendship
With TWO Elderly Ladies'
Unique Use OF Gift.

Many Of the best friends of Lord
Kitchener, the great English soldier,
administrator and secretary of war,
are women, despite the popular belief
that he is grirnly uncompromising
woman hater. In a recent brief BIZ
ography of *. of K,' Harold Begbie
draws a most winning picture of his
friendship with two of his elderly rel
atives-"two dear. diminutive old
Scotch ladies who lived in Phillimore
gardens, Kensington, by name of the
Misses Hutchinson; and Kitchener
was no dearer to these charming
spinsters than they to him.
He wrote to them brightly and boy.
ishly by almost every mail
Before he went to Egypt for his ad-
vance on Khartum, these dear old la
dies presented him with gold-headed
sswagger' cane; and when the advance
was accomplished and the photograph
er arrived to make a picture of the
general and his staff, Kitchener seated
himself in the center of the group
with this stick held so ostentatiously
that the old ladies in Kensington could
not fail to recognize it when the pho
tograph appeared in the illustrated pa

Their house was always his goal on
his return from distant service, and
in it he was like schoolboy, running
up the stairs two at time, whistling
in his bedroom, going and coming as
he pleased, and telling them such sto-

in London ever heard They called

smiling, shrewd eyes,, teasing him,

Later on in his triumphal career
their "Hairburrt" once wished to make
the little old ladies gift SO valuable
and unusual that they felt called upon
to pause and consider before accept
ing it. It was gold casket-one Of
the many gold caskets presented to
*. Of K" by the grateful corpora
tions of provincial cities.
DO we need it?" propounded the
first old lady, pointedly.
mo, we certainly don't need it?" re-
hectively acquiesced her sister.
What could we do with it?" pursued
the first old lady. But the second had
had time to think.

How Far soIdiers Can Sec.

Some interesting experiments have
been made in the German army with
the object of discovering at what
distance the recognition of one soldier
by another is reliable. For soldiers
with good eyes it was found that q
person seen once before could be rec
ognized at distance of 80 feet, while
an acquaintance could be recognized
at distance of 800 feet, and an in
innate friend or relative at q dis
tance of 500 feet.
The various parts of a mans body
can be distinguished and any decided
movement can be detected by an ex-
pert rifleman at distance of 300 feet.
At 1900 feet, man appears as a
spot on the landscape and cannot usu-
ally be seen if he keeps still or if his
dress does not contrast with the back
ground. Sailors, hunters and farmers
can usually see twice these distances,
probably on account of their constant
training in making out the nature OF
distant objects.

ROBGHAGE FOB FARM HORSES
Both Glover and Alfalfa Are Excellent
When Fed JudiciousIy-Timothy
Is Most Popular.

Like oats, timothy is considered by
many horsemen indispensable to the
best horse rations, but this is by no
means the case. OF the most available
Of the hays, timothy is the lowest in
digestible nutrients. It's great popu-
larity as horse feed is due to the
fact that it is usually brighter and
freer from dust than the other hays,
also it is most relished by the horse.
However, either clover or alfalfa
hays, If fed iudiciously, will make good
roughage for farm horses.
Alfalfa has a nutritive ration Of
about la, that is to say it is very
high in protein, and about as high
in fats and carbohydrates as timo-
thy Because of its high protein
content it has slightly laxative eff
feet, but this may be overcome by
cutting the alfalfa late in the bloom.
Under this condition it makes most
excellent horse feed for brood mares
and colts, and it can also be fed with
great profit to farm work horses. The
horses relish the hay and hold their
weight, and even gain under steady
work. They also show as much met
tie and vitality as though they were
fed timothy
Glover is another excellent rough
age. In fact, many horsemen have
found it more valuable than timothy
hay. It has high nutritive value,
and is very palatable. In a certain
case a number Of horses doing or
binary work were maintained on
clover for several years without any
grain allowance. The objections
raised to clover are that it is usually
too dusty. and too rich in protein for
driving horses.

It is something in these times to
get a novel view of the war. Two
English workmen were discussing it,
obviously under the influence of a
great deal of unofficial news.

said one.

thousands and thousands of Russians
prisoners, and the Russians is taking

The Dog and the Hare.

A Hound having started Hare on
the hillside pursued her for some dis
tance; at one time biting her with his
teeth as if he would take her life, and
at another time fawning upon her. as
if in play with another dog. The
Hare said to him: Il wish you would
act sincerely by me, and show your
self in your true colors. If you are a
friend, why do you bite me SO hard?
If an enemy, why do you fawn on
me?"

described by H. B. Collier in the
Journal of the Royal Astronomical
Society Of Canada. The writer was at
Viking, Alberta, in latitude So de-

half an hour before sunset on April
%. Its visibility was due to the fact
that cloud hung above the horizon,
serving as a, curtain or screen against
which the aurora could be seen. The
observer stated that numerous

MAKE BETTER BUTTER
No Reason Why Product Should
Not Be Improved in Quality.
BY More Careful Handling and Fol-
lowing Simple Directions Given,
Better Grade Can Be Made
Hand Separator Favored.
6By H. M. RArNEs.l

Nearly all butter sold by the farmer
is poorer quality than 1t should be.
BY more careful handling and better
methods there is no reason why this
product should not only be improved
in quality, but better price should
be received for it. BY carrying out
the following conditions ard methods
a very much better grade of butter
should be produced:
Hand separator cream produces bet.
ter butter than that separated by any
other method. The deep can sur.
rounded by cold water is second best;
pans and crooks are third best, and
the water-dilution method comes last
The midland journal., 1915-10-29

The cream should be kept in as
nearly sweet condition as possible
until enough has been gathered for
churning. This should then be soured
or ripened. To ripen the cream warm
it to temperature of 75 to so degrees,
until it is sour enough; then cool down
to temperature of from 55 to 60 de-
grees. which is right for churning.
Let it stand at this temperature for
an hour or so before churning, il Dos
sible. This will cause the butter to
come in better condition. Cream that
is being ripened should be thoroughly
stirred several times before it is ready
for churning.
1t is often advisable to save some of
the buttermilk of one churning to be
used as a starter (the same as yeast
in breadmaking) for the next batch
of cream. Add small amount of
this buttermilk to the sweet cream
when enough has been gathered for
churning; thoroughly stir it, and it
will ripen very much more rapidly.
Care should be exercised to keep this
old buttermilk in as good condition
as possible.
Strain all cream into the churn.
This will remove all clots and parti-
cles of curd, and there will be no dan
ger of white specks in the butter. Do
not fill the churn over one-third to
one-half full. Give the cream room
for agitation, which insures quick
churning. Turn tho churn just fast
enough to give the cream the greatest
amount Of agitation.
The butter should be gathered until
the grains become about one-half the
size of wheat. Then draw off the
buttermilk through a strainer and
wash the butter in cold water two or
three times, or until the wash water
is removed practically clear. In wash
ing, care should be exercised not to
bring the grains together in one mass,
but rather keep it in the granular con-
dition. The washing of the butter
removes the buttermilk and makes the
butter keep for longer time. 1t also
puts it in better condition for sailing.
The butter should be taken from
the churn in the granular condition
and the salt sprinkled over it before
it has been worked together. Usually
a scant ounce of salt is added for each
pound Of butter.
One working, at the time of salt
ing, is usually sufficient, providing the
butter is hard enough when removed
from the churn. II the butter is
somewhat soft when taken out, it can
be salted and set away a few hours
until it gets hard enough to finish.
Butter is usually worked enough when
the water has been removed SO that it
will bend without breaking. Too much
working will spoil its grain and make
1t salvy, while leaving too much wa
ter in it will spoil its keeping quali-
ties.
Pack or print the butter as soon
as it has been worked sufficiently and
put it in a cool place until it is taken
to the market Remember that the
appearance yof the package, as well
as the way the butter is packed, has
great deal to do with the selling
price.

Some for the Market.

The price of hogs continues to climb

in close touch with the advance. This
