SHIPS TO DEFY TORPEDOEs
Our Future War Vessels VIII Be Proof
Against Them, Is Opinion
Of Experts.

Washington.-Future American bat
tleships will be able to survive the ex-
plosion of a single torpedo against
their hulls, regardless of where they
are struck, in the opinion of navy ex-
perts. Experiments which have been
in progress for more than a year have
demonstrated that two or more torpe-
does must find their mark before these
ships can be sent to the bottom.
The two superdreadnaughts and
two battle cruisers congress has been
asked to authorize this year will be
designed on this plan. Battleships 43
and A have added interior construc-
tion resulting from the study made of
the question of torpedo defense since
the outbreak of the European war,
but later ships will have even in
creased provisions In this regard.
The experiments are continuing and
officials expect further information on
the subject to be developed. Details
OF the work are regarded as confiden-
tial, but it is known that some ex-
perts are hopeful that a type of con-
struction will be evolved which will
greatly reduce the effectiveness of
either mines or torpedoes against
heavy ships.

MAY ENCOURAGE THE OTHERS
Story Printed Here Has a Definite
Purpose That Most VIII Be
Quick to Understand.

Once upon time there was a wae
who wandered away from home be-
cause he was not properly appreciat
ed in his own town. In his journeying
he rambled far, and because he was
a fool he experienced the luck which
often attends fools, and finally came
upon a country where, because the ex-
plorers had never found it, all his
ancient and widowed jokes were
brand new to the inhabitants.
There, surrounded by audiences of
people who had never heard even the
oldest and lamest of his wheezes, he
told his tales to thunders of applause.
He speedily became the most popular
man in that queer land, and presently
welded the beautiful princess, who
had not only never heard anything
worth hearing. but had also never
seen anything worth looking at. He
dwells there today, thoroughly appre-
ciated and enjoying all the emolu-
ments that come to him who achieves
success of which he is truly worthy.
His story is here given, in the hope
that it may encourage others of his
sort to emigrate instead of going on
the Chautauqua platform.--Judge.

TO PREVENT WINTERKILLlNG
Alternate Freezing and Thawing
Causes Plants to Die Out-Straw
Mulch ls Recommended.

The object of mulching strawberries
In the fall is to prevent winterkilling.
Winterkilling is usually caused by
the plants dying out too much during
the winter months, or by alternate
freezing and thawing
The best mulch material to use is
clean straw; this Is placed on the
plants 4 to inches deep after the
ground has been frozen.
In the spring after the ground is
thawed, the straw is worked around
the plants, writes F. F, McCune in
Farmers Mail and Breeze. This serves
several purposes, such as keeping the
patch free from weeds, conserving
the moisture, and forming clean mat
for the berries to ripen on.
After the fruit has ripened, the
straw should be removed

BIG ROOSTER KILLS CHILLI
Fowl Attacks Little John Seaman
While Feeding Chickens at His
Home In California.

Los Angeles, Cal.-John M. Seaman,
two-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Seaman of this city, is dead at On
tario following an attack by large
rooster at the ranch home of the
child's grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
V. Lawrence of that city.
John and his mother visited at the
ranch. The chickens were novelty
to the boy, and he was anxious to
feed them. With prodigious bravery
that was thought only childishly cute
he accomplished his desire. A few
days ago he was so engaged when a
large rooster jumped at the little fell
low and buried it's spurs deeply in his
scalp
Blood poisoning developed and the
child died in hospital after much
suffering.

BILE seleCtmen of the town, you are
authorized to arrest people, and al
that?"
Part of my prerogatives, shoult
say, yes!" returned Wilson magnilo
quently.
Very well; act slow, but sure, on 9
hint am going to give you"
What's the hint?' questioned vii
son.
Professor Dixon is a spy!"
'Nonsense!"
"You won't say so when | explain

board with old Mrs. Roderick, for it S
ramshackly old place over the shop
her dead husband used to run. I've
found out. He went there to get the
secret use of the shop. He works far
into the night with tools and metal
and the like. He gets letters from
foreign parts. See here"
Mrs. Moore exhibited three envel.
opes. They were addressed to the
young professor. One bore Berlin
postmark, a second that of an Aus
trian city, a third was from Amster-
dam.
How | got them after Dixon had
thrown them carelessly aside, never
mind proceeded Mrs. Moore. There
they are. If he isn't in reasonable
correspondence with foreign powers,
and maybe manufacturing explosives
to blow up the state capitol or the
White House, or what not, then |
don't know much!"
You do-a good deal,' commented
Wilson eagerly. Lucy, you've done
me big service! Give me those EN-
velopes. think you've hit it right.
Dixon is one of those international
spies. I'll get on his trail. Oh, if |
can only land him and have the field
clear to court Edna again.
mo rash moves now warned his
sister.
I'll be sure of my ground before
make definite move" pledged Will
son.
From that hour he became sleuth
He told nobody of his suspicious and
plans. He simply kept an eye OR his
hated rival, Night times he prowled
around the old shop, but it was well
boarded up and barricaded. One
night, however, he managed to locate
a convenient crack in the outside
sheathing of the structure.
There he patiently installed himself
He had fair view of the young pro
fessor The latter worked at forge
mixed some liquid substances in re-
tort Finally he went to work

EXPENSE OF KEEPING HORSE
Cost Is Much More Than Many Per-
sons Usually Believe-Estimate
Placed at SIS Yearly.

The cost of keeping horse for a
year ON a farm is much more than
many persons usually suppose. In an
estimate of such cost it was found
that a horse weighing 1900 pounds
and kept at moderately hard work
costs SIS a year for board. Foods,
of course, are usually higher in some
places than others, where it would not
cost so much
Taking one horse with another, as
kept ON our farms, and allowing for
the period of idleness in the winter
season, the cost to keep would not
be more than $50 Larger horses
would, however, cost relatively more
than those Of lighter weight.

The discouraging side OF most
household tasks is that they are done
only to be undone almost immediate
ly A room is busted in the morning
and the next morning the same proc.
ess has to be gone through again
The dishes are washed only to -bs
soiled again in few hours. 1t is
this lack of enduring results which
sometimes makes household duties
so wearying. 1t is only when the
housewife remembers that the result
in the family health and happiness Ia
new every time that she finds the
repetition interesting.

farm long have been the habitat of a
colony OF the cato Gala moth.
They catch the moths and butteries
and sell them to museums, collectors
and laboratories for prices ranging
from cents to 81 piece. Several
times they have received orders from
abroad
The Hfsers follow the pursuit only
early ON summer nights. They mark
trees with white cloths to attract at
tention and then spray a solution of
sugar and stale beer over the foliage.
Often they have caught from so to 100
specimens in an hour

ORCHARD
GLrANINGS
NUT TREES THRIVE IN NORTH
Hickory Is Most Popular and Is Found
In Many States-Little Time
and Labor Required.

There are very few sections of the
northern states where the shellbark
hickory and pecan trees cannot be
grown The hickory is more common
ly found, and is native of many
states. The pecan is usually found
along river or creek bottoms, but can
be transplanted to any soil, sand or
clay, with fair success.
The hickory does not stand trans
planting so well as the pecan. Both
can be grown from the nuts and the
nut-grown trees give the best results,
producing nuts younger and forming
fine trees, as the growing in the open
from the start adapts the tree to the
location and there is no stunt from
transplanting
The pecan or shellbark when grown
in the open produce wonderful crops
of nuts. II grown on high land the
trees will never be large for forest
trees, but when grown on any low,
rich, moist soil, the trees make rapid
growth, soon growing into large fine
shaped trees.
There is always some uncultivated
spot on the farm where few nut
trees could be grown. 1t requires but
little time and labor to plant them
and within a few years the home will
have supply of fine sweet nuts, each
year.

rs that SOL jeered Wilson sneer-

venomous CLEAN in his eyes.

Wilson looked interested. Savage,

never hope to win Edna Rolfe, for she
was not of his class, but there would
be good deal of satisfaction in get

shadow. She should be fed a good
hearty ration, strong In protein, and
not rich in the fat-making foods. She
should have plenty of exercise. She
should be in that thrifty condition
which makes her as strong as a bull
but not fat.
There's no danger of her having too
much bone and muscle. The heavier
she is the better-proyided that too
much of her weight is not fat. An
all-corn ration robs her of the strength
she will need at the time of her trial,
and fills the cavities of the body with
fat. Then she will be fat and lazy
and will kill her pigs by lying on them.
Or she may never be able to bring
them forth. Or her appetite for bone
and muscle-forming foods may be so
abnormal that she may eat them up.
But if she is kept from being too fat
by the simple method of starvation,
she will not give the litter the proper
amount of milk.

som salts may be given in the slop for
three or four feedings-iust enough so
that the taste will not repel the sow
and keep her from eating
At narrowing time occur the most of
the pig losses. Some of them come
from the absence of the owner when
the pigs arrive, and some from his
presence. The SOW should be carefully
watched, but she should not be dis
turbed In other words, no dogs should
be allowed anywhere near, and she
should not become aware of the pres
ence of those who watch her. A good
brood SOW stealing her nest in the
grove or fields will on the average
bring to the feed trough better
litter than the one which is fused
over by solicitous owner. Yet she
needs help. Combine the
merits of the two methods.
