and corn silage to the limit of appe-
tites.
Ine total cost of feeds was $2.O4 per
lamb in Lots l and and $I.S6 per
lam in Lot 3. The reduced cost per
lamb in Lot 3 was due to the larger
amount of silage fed. The profit per
lamb was $2.61S in Lot /, $2.J69 in Lot
2, and $4.30 in Lot 3.
The experiment shows that the fat
tening of lambs to a market condition
of good flesh is profitable, states b. U.
Severson, under whose directionl the
test was conducted, "and that the
profits increased in proportion to the
amount of silage fed. Less variation
IN gains was apparent and the condi-
tion of flesh was higher, in lambs fed
with mixed hay and corn silage,
The experiment indicated also that
lambs Of less weight and development
need succulent feed to a greater ex-
tent than larger lambsa Although the
lambs of Lot 2 showed a slightly bet
ter condition of flesh, the profits from
Lot 3 were greater, due to more eco
nomical gains"

Storing Fruit

The storage problem is one which
confronts ever apple grower. Perhaps
the most convenient and cheapest
cave, dug against a hillside. Ventilat-
ing tiles are laid underground to a
point many feet lower and many yards
away. such a dugout may very well
be included in building packing
house. The basement may be con-
structed below ground in the hillside
while on the upper side an entrance
to the packing house may be provided
The exit from the storage room may
be on the lower opposite side of the
building. The ceiling, one wall, and
q small part of two other walls are
the only parts needing double con-
struction in such storage house. Such
storage caves are sometimes ventilat-
ed directly on the sides, through open
ings along the base of the walls out
side. These are opened at night and
closed in the morning.
The insulated air-cooled room will
maintain surprisingly even tempera-
ture If proper care is taken in Venti-
lating it at night and closing it in the
day time. Such building is best con-
structed of double-walled brick. stone,
hollow tile or wood, and must be in
expensive enough to pay interest on
investment.
Many farmers with only two or
three acres of fruit bury their crops
in pits. Experiments, say authorities
at. The Pennsylvania State College
School of Agriculture and Experiment
Station, have shown that deteriora-
tion and shrinkage of apples in we'll
constructed pits is no greater than
shrinkage of grain. (about 10 per
cent? while surprisingly even tenn
perature can be maintained. A six
inch layer of straw should be placed
in such pits and the apples should be
placed on the straw. A burlap or can
vas cover should be placed over the
fruit. The burlap should intervene
between the. straw and the earth. II
it does not, the earth will sift through
the straw upon the sweating fruit
when the pit is opened, and the fruit
will be soiled beyond STABILITY. The
fruit must be removed on warm
day to avoid freezing.

An Odd Play

One of the freak plays of the
season happened in a game of the
recent Cardin'als-R Reds series in st.
Louis. In one inning the Reds had
three men on bases and Roush, on
first, was caught off that bag. In
stead of trying to get back to first
Roush ran for second and Paulette
ran after him with the ball. AS
Roush came into second. Kopf, who
held that base, lit out for third, so
Paulette took after him. Kopf
landed on third, where Fred Toney
was anchored. Paulette tagged
Hopf and he was out, while Roush
was safe at second. How did they
score the play? Roush advanced
to second on Kopf's out.

THE MATAPLO TREE.

In all the vegetable world there is
probably nothing comparable to the
hugging parasite, the matapalo tree of
the South American jungle, according
to Charles F. Lummis, who gives i
vivid description of the 'tree-killer'
in an account of his archaeological
explorations in Guatemala. A small
seed is blown against the trunk of
some huge tropical tree, where it
clings tenaciously, feeding on the
trees sap. Soon tiny, long air-roots
begin to grow down to the earth,
their tendrils in it. Once
planted, these tendrils grow in
strength and extend long wiry arms
around the trunk of the tree, slowly
sapping it's life and choking it to
death.

A NEW TYPE OF FIRE ESCAPE.

Unique fire escapes in the form of
playground equipment have recently
been installed by the schools Of Cali.
fornia. They consist of long sheet
metal chutes, reinforced with angle
iron, which are attached securely to
the sides of the building, and afford
an excellent emergency exit as well as
a means of amusement for the school
children. The entrance to the chute
is from a wide iron platform on the
second floor, from which it extends
in a slanting angle to the ground,
ending in an upward curve that
checks the violence of the descent.
A pile of sand is also placed at the
bottom OF each chute to lessen the
danger of a possible fall. The chill
dren are encouraged to use the chutes
for play at recess so that they will
become accustomed to them.

submarines. Among other things, re-
ports show that Germany probably has
200 1,OOO-ton submarines Of the newer
type capable of a wide radius Of action
and greater execution than any devised
by other nations.
The very latest German submarines
have considerably thicker skins than
earlier types and are said to be able to
take considerable punishment from
light guns, especially in clashes with
armed merchant craft.
The understanding is that the Ger
man navy has largely standardized
submarine construction and can turn
out the largest underwater craft in
large numbers in a short time.
In view OF the feverish activity Of
the German navy in turning out sub
marines, naval experts are not inclined
to belittle the task which lies before
the United States and the allies in
Kidding the high seas Of the under
water menace. If Germany can turn
out large, powerful submarines in
great numbers and keep them coming
steadily the task will prove anything
but easy.
The fact that the tonnage destroyed
since Feb. / has been far below the
figure set by Berlin has encouraged the
belief in the allied countries that Ger
many has already passed her maxi
mum in utilizing the submarine to
'starve" England and the nations
fighting with that country.
But American naval officers are not
inclined to take this view. Although
they are confident the submarine prob
lem will be solved, they will not be
surprised If it takes long time.
Naval preparations for all emergen-
cies have settled down largely to rou-
tine. Instead of being in haste navy

nation. Some of the higher officers skip
the barber shop occasionally and work
long hours in their Offices and in their
homes after Office hours. But there is
no outward evidence of excitement in
or about the navy department. The
machinery is in smooth running order
and appears to be working with pre-
cision.

SHOE FAMINE WILL
NOT HIT THE ARMY

AKRON, o., May 1.-THE United
States Army or Navy will not be eff
fected by the shoe famine which now
prevails in European countries, due
to the fact that the requirements of
he allied armies are so great" said
an official of one of the large rubber
companies of Akron recently.
This statement was brought forth
by the publication of an announcement
from Rome, Italy, made by John F,
Sucks, Vice President of the Ameri-
can Chamber of Commerce and Gen
eral Manager of the American Shoe
Machinery Company, in Italy, when he
said, "a bare-footed Europe is not i'm
probable if the war continues. AT
he present time pair of heavy
mountain shoes will last soldier
about six weeks and the soles and
heels of these shoes are even stud
ded with hobnails to secure this sell
vice."
One of the officials of the B. F. Good
rich Company, in commenting further
upon this article, said, "If this gov
eminent should adopt rubber footwear
or it's Army and Navy, thereby secur-
ng not only an unlimited supply as
compared with the leather shoe, longer
service and greater comfort to the
men would be assured at no greater
cost than leather equipment
