ORIGIN OF THE TANKER"
Thirty Years Ago the First Iron OIL
Carrier Was Built by
Prussian.

About 1880 Wilhelm Riedemann. a
Prussian shipowner. withdrew from
the East Indian and American trade
for use in transporting petroleum two
sailing vessels which had anlidships
two iron tanks of the same depth as
the distance between deck and keel,
the Wall Street Journal states. Orig
inally these tanks contained drinking
water for the sailors, but 1t was found
out that the water could not be kept
free of iron rust and this use was
abandon d. Reidemann utilized these
tanks as petroleum containers and
found that his transportation ex-
penses were reduced four marks a
barrel in this way.
Continuing the experiment on a
larger scale, Riedemann transformed
the Andromeda, a 1920 ton vessel,
into a petroleum carrier by installing
on each of her three decks twenty
four iron tanks connected with pipe
lines. The big disadvantage on this
arrangement was that in the event OF
repairs being made on the ship, which
was OF wood, the tanks had to be re-
moved at great expense and risk OF
damage. Riedemann finally concluded
that the ideal tanker must be of iron
and the entire hull of the vessel used
as container Accordingly he
planned ship with the engine aft,
protected by a water-filled cofferdam.
and the remaining space separated by
bulkheads into eight compartments.
Riedemann tried in vain to get Q
German shipbuilding firm to construct
a vessel after his design. He went to
England and finally persuaded New
castle concern to undertake it. The
result was the first modern tanker,
the Glueckauf, which was launched in
1885.
The arrival of the Glueckauf in New
York in August of the same year Gre
ated CONSERVATION among petroleum
shippers. An indignation meeting was
held, and it was proposed to petition
congress to prohibit the expectation
of petroleum in bulk on the ground
that the oil gases would endanger the
lives of all on board the tanker. A
committee was appointed to request
the Standard Oil company to refuse
petroleum to the Glueckauf
But progress triumphed as usual.
Today there are 400 vessels Of sub
stantially the Glueckauf type trans
porting petroleum and So more are in
course of construction in American
shipyards.

herds is increasing with each year, as
more and more farmers learn how to
feed and care for their cows so as to
secure the best returns.
The only way to learn whether the
individual cows in dairy herd yield

by a farmer himself, by means of a
milk scale and a Babcock tester, or
it can be done by outside parties,
either comparatively in the CONTEST
ing association, or by the system Of
official testing of dairy cows conducted
by the experiment stations.
AS a special incentive to better
dairying a dairy COW competition for
the benefit of COW owners in this state
was begun several years ago which
lasted two years.
A large number of extraordinarily
high records were made. Nearly two
thirds of the cows produced over 400
pounds of butterfat during the year,
or considerably more than twice the
average production of dairy cows in
Wisconsin and other states.
Striking fundamental facts relating
to the dairy production of cows are
brought out by the results obtained
in this important competition. 1t
