Makes Coast InvuInerable.

John Hays Hammond Jr., is the
twenty y-six-year-old son of the famous
mining engineer of the same name.
Naval experts who have tested his de-
vice in every way possible declare it
will make the entire coast line of the
United States practically invulnerable
to attack from enemy battlcships. The
sum which he will receive for his pat
ents and unlimited service to the GOV
ernment is contained in the tortilica-
tions bill now before the house. Mr.
Hammond was summoned before a
subcommittee of the house, and during
a two days session, from which the
public was excluded, he demonstrated
the working of his apparatus.
1t is authoritatively stated that
young Hammond refused q fabulous
sum to sell his invention to one~of the
European countries now at war. He
explained to the foreign bidders that
no amount Of money would tempt him
to give them preference over his native

Water For Dairy Cows.

The supplying Of an abundance of
water at a suitable temperature is q
question which should always be given
most careful consideration during the
winter season. In some instances it
may pay to have tank heater to keep
the water at the right temperature. If
it can be pumped fresh from the well,
no tank heater is necessary. Cows
nearly always fall off in milk flow dur
ing a period of very cold weather, and
in many instances this falling off can
be attributed directly to the fact that
they do not drink enough water while
the cold spell lasts.

VALUE OF The SIRE
IN The DAIRY HERD

If a community Of farmers will COM
bne what they are annually paving
for scrub bulls and purchase Il pure
bred they will lay the foundation for
an increase in the average production
of their herd, provided they raise their
heifers as they should. Only by select
ing out the best producers and mating
them with the sires and sons Of other
best producers can the steady increase
in productive capacity, which has
marked the success of breeders of pure
bred cattle, be accounted for.
This is the advantage Of the pure
bred bull over the scrub. He comes of
long line of carefully selected ances-
tors, accurate record of the breeding
and performance of each Of whom has
been kept Every time that high pro-
ducing COW or the son or sire OF high
producing cows appear in his pedigree
the likelihood of his string high pro-
ducing daughters is increased by one.
Furthermore, he becomes SO thorough
ly re-enforced along lines of high pro-
duction that his breeding power to i'm
press his own inheritance in high pro
duction upon bis calves becomes so
strong that he is actually more than
half the breed-that is, his calves will
inherit more from him than from the
COWS to which he is bred. This would
he equally true of the pure bred COW,
but as she has but one calf, while a
bull may be the sire of fifty in sea-
son, the latter is a much cheaper and
Courier Democrat., 1916-07-06

more convenient means Of securing the
pure blood.
A grade is an animal only one of
whose parents is q pure bred. and the
mating Of common bred cows to pure
bred bull. always of the same breed, is
called grading up. Since with each
generation the proportion of pure blood
to common blood increases, until after
five or six of these top crosses of pure
blood it predominates to such an ex-
tent as to render the cattle practically
as productive as pure breds, although,
of course, they are not eligible to regis
tration They are termed high grade.
In order to keep pace with the I'M
proyement wrought through the use of
better blood, more liberal feeding must
be practiced, but feeding can never
compensate for the lack Of breeding.
| Improved blood endows the COW with
greater capacity to produce, which in
turn requires a liberal supply of the
raw materials provided in the ration
out of which to make milk and fat, but
it is as unreasonable to feed All abun-
dance of high priced feed to low bred
unproductive COWS as to waste good
seed in poor ground. 1t is economy to
increase the ration as long as the COW
responds with a corresponding increase
in production, but the limit to which
this response may reach is altogether
determined by her breedfng.-Dr. Car
Cay, Pennsylvania.

Sell Device to European Country
Made No Money.
John Hays Hammond, Jr., has given
the country an example of the kind OF
Americanism which puts service to his
country above personal gain. He has
sold to the government all Of the pat
ents-12S of them-and the exclusive
rights to device for controlling the
course of torpedoes by radiodynamic
forces, either from the shore or from
aeroplanes, which will insure their
striking their marks at q maximum dis
tance of twcnty-eight miles.
The price he will receive for his in
vention = $750O0O-w fixed by a
board of military and naval experts
without bargaining on his part. and it
is said on reliable authority to repre-
sent very little more than he has actu-
ally spent to bring his device to its
present state of perfection.
In addition to turning his invention
over exclusively to the United States
Mr.. Hammond agrees to devote his
time without pay to cooperating with
the military and naval officers in in
stalling the apparatus necessary to
operate the radiodynamic torpedo and
similar engines of destruction. He
pledges his services to the government
for as long as he is needed.

Cows Like Varied Rations.

Cows should not be kept too long on

may be, and the feed should consist Of
a variety Of materials rather than any

given for the maintenance Of body and
