WASHINGTON, May 9-In reporting
the torpedoing of the White Star liner,
Cymric, to the state department today
American Consul Frost at Queenstown
said the vessel sank at 3 o'clock this morn
ing. Five of her crew of lO7 were killed
by the explosion, the consul reported.
The Cymric was torpedoed at { p m
Monday 1873 miles west of Fastnet, accord
ing to Consul Frost. He said it appeared
that the attack was made without warn
ing. The survivors he reported, viii land
about noon today at Bantry.
Although the Cymric had no Americans
or passengers aboard and was carrying
munitions, the state department is inter
ested to know her exact status, and
whether in her service in the British gov
crnment she had been divested of her
rights as a peaceful merchant ship. Con
sui Frost at Queenstown has informed the
department he is investigating and his re-
port is being awaited

ANIMAL FOOD FOR CHICKENS
Meat-Fed Fowls Make Quicker and
Cheaper Gains Than Others
81 Milk Is Good Substitute,

An agricultural Investigator, after
a series Of tests, has come to the
conclusion that meat-fed chicks make
quicker and cheaper gains than 9TH
ers, regardless of size, and that chicks
started on ration deficient In ami
NAL food never regain their lost
ground. In some of his own expert
ments he found that hens without
meat generally began laying before
meat-fed hens and maintained their POI
sitiOn for weeks and even months on
such ratiOns. He concludes that III.
though the work done by most investi.
gators has usually shown decided SUI
periority for the meat-fed laying hens,
there Is sufficient evidence the other
way to warrant further investigation.
In the fattening Of fowls, animal food
has appeared to be essential to the
best results, except when milk has
been used, but of the various sources
there seems to be little preference
aside from convenience or economy.
The substitutes for animal food in
common use are milk, milk albumen,
or dried milk, vegetable sources OF
protein, and bone ash or phosphate
sources. Milk albumen has not gen.
orally given good results. Milk. sour
or otherwise, has given conflicting re-
suits. Vegetable protein when used
under favorable conditions, has often
given as good results as when protein
from animal sources has been used.
Results of feeding bone ash or some
carrier of phosphorus indicate that
some of the advantage that has been
claimed for animal protein may pos
sibly be due to the mineral matter con-
tanned In the meat scrap or cut bone.

Turn in the shotes weighing from 81
to $50 pounds or a little more and let
them clean up the field fairly well.
Naturally there will be some shattered
grains and scattering ears left and
then you can turn in the old brood
sows and let them pick up the leav-
ings. Old sows that are being fat
tened for market make remarkable
gains turned into the cornfield.
Don't forget that corn alone, while
it Is the best hog feed, is not sut-
ficient. Many farmers SOW rape or
cowpeas or soy beans between the
rows in the summer and by fall they
have a good growth of pasture. Rape
is one of the best crops for this pur-
pose. If conditions are favorable, SOW
a patch of rape along one side of the
cornfield in early fall where it won't
be hindered by the shade of the corn
as when sown in the rows. This Will
make a good growth and give lots Of
pasture as well as supplement the
corn In case you hog it down.

Remarkable Gains.

Hogging down corn. once in dis
repute and counted shiftless, has now
become respectable and moves In the
very best society.
Careful experiments as well as prac-
teal experience of hard-fsted farmers
have shown that the hog Is the most
economical corn harvester known. He
husks the corn, consumes 1t without
waste and returns as much or more
pork per bushel of corn than where the
grain is husked and carried to him.
The cost and labor Of corn husking
are thereby saved.
Furthermore, during the process the
animals have spread the resulting ma

CHEAPEST FORM OF FEEDING
Glover Hay and Bundle Corn Will
Prove Satisfactory-Feeders Add
Little Oil Meal.

Many cattle are fed satisfactorily on
clover hay and bundle corn, In fact
this is about the cheapest form of feed
ing one can follow. Most feeders, how
ever, like to add to this a little oil
meal or some similar feed.
On the other hand, there are some
very good feeders who have made
money year after year feeding abso-
lutely nothing but bundle corn.

FEEDING CATTLE OVER FENCE
If There Is Any Doubt About Strength
of Enclosure, Corn Had Better
Be Fed in Yards.

Be sure that when you feed your cat
tie corn over the fence that the feeding
is done at a place where the fence is
very strong.
Cattle crowd the fence at such a
point very hard and if there is any
doubt about the strength the corn had
better be hauled I'd the yards and fed
there.
Better make little extra work than
TO educate a herd of fence breakers.

Poor Practice to Dispose of All

The turkey is not fully matured I'M

1t is therefore a mistake to sell OFF
