DAIRYMEN TAKE NOTICE.

The rule to be observed III the
stable at all times toward the eat
tie. young and old, is that OF
patience and kindness. A man )
usefulness in a herd ceases at
once when he loses his temper
and bestows rough. usage. Men
must be patient. Cattle are not
reasoning beings. Remember that
this is the home of mothers. Treat
each cow as mother should be
treated. Phe giving of milk is a
function of motherhood; rough
treatment lessons the flow. That
inidres me as well as the cow. AL
ways keep these ideas in mind IN
dealing with my cattle.
This notice, printed in large
type, is posted in several places
about a Wisconsin dairy barn. It'll
was written one day when the
owner found that one of his men
had been beating the animals.
The man got his pay Immediately
and the hired help now under
stand their employer and the cows
very much better.
The man who wrote that notice
filed with good sense was former
Governor W. II. Hoard. of Wis
consin, the man who has prob
ably done more for dairying than
any other man in the country.
One of his hired men said to rs
not long ago as he pointed to that
notice on the wall: "The old
man knows something about cows.
I think it's pretty good. even if

Most animals remove only fif-

NEW TYPE OF NINE.
Brief Description Of New Device for
Destroying Ships.
popular Mechanics)


Our government has under consld-
GRAFTON a marine contact mine OF an
unusually interesting type. 1t may or
may not prove to be suitable for gem
eral adoption, but at any rate 1t has
the merit of ingenuity and, therefore
is worth notice. Unlike ordinary
mines, this one operates on select
i've principle In other words, it is de-
signed to destroy enemy vessels with
out endangering the friendly ones-for
which a simple protective device has
been proyided-that collide with IT..
The outer shell of the mine is built of
pressed steel and equipped with
group of magnetic disks, which are
employed in place of the firing pins
customarily used. The instant that
steel, iron or any similar metal comes
in contact with one of the disks,
clock motor, housed within the buoy,
is set in motion. 1t, in turn, operates
a trigger and causes the discharge of
illuminate cap that detonates the
explosives. Thus any unprotected
steel vessel would explode the mine on
contact.

HARVESTING A VOLCANO
FOR DEVELOPING POWER.
STEAM FROM cREvICEs BEING
USED IN lTAlY-ExTRACT
BORAclc ACID.
Mining and Scientific Press)

To utilize the movement of the tides
has long been the fancy of the me-
chanical genius; to convert the heat OF
the volcano into economic units has
been the dream of the physicist. 1t is
interesting to record successful effort
to put the more visionary of these
ideas into action. A consular report
from Florence describes experiments
made near Volterra, in Tuscany, where
volcanic steam issues from assures in
the ground along the Cornia river.
Early in the 10Th century French
man, FRANCHISE de Larderel, analyzed
the steam and discovered that it con-
tanned enough boracic acid to warrant
economic extraction. He built a plant
close to the largest assure and laid the
foundation for an industry that is now
identified with the town of Larderello.
The vent is covered and the steam Is
condensed into water from which the
boracic acid is precipitated in crystal
line form. The evaporation of the
liquor and the subsequent drying of the
crystals are aided by the heat of the
steam issuing from the assures. Like
wise the offices of the company and
the houses of its employees are heated
by the same natural agency. Several
years ago it was decided to use the
surplus steam from these volcanic fis-
sures to drive small horizontal en-
CINE. This was done by utilizing the
heat of the steam to yaporize water.
When the low pressure turbine was in
vented, another experiment was tried.
Behring'S showed that no diminution of
steam pressure from the vents was
caused if the borings were of sufficient
distance-not less than so feet--apart
Bores were made to a depth at which
a pressure two to three atmospheres
$50 degrees F. could be obtained.
Through pipes in the bores the steam
is carried from underground into tub
ular boilers. the heat of which is used
to turn pure water, derived from other
sources, into steam, which, in turn, ac-
tuates the engine driving a dynamo.
The electricity thus generated is then
transmitted and sold to neighboring
towns. At present three sets of tur-
bine alternators of 1000 horse power
each produce three phase 50-cycle
4OOO-volt current which is transform
ed to $4,000 volts for transmission to
the nearby towns or to 10000 volts
transmitted to more distant points.
Although utilization of natural energy
is on scale relatively small, it is i'm
mensely suggestive. Man has bridled
the wind to his travel, he has tanned

DEMAND FOR COPPER.
Steady Increase in Use insures a Good
Price,

America Is dominant in the two most
important war metals-steel and cop
per. Incidentally they are the most
important in time of peace, during
constructive periods. The importance
Of iron and steel have long been recog-
nized at full value, but somehow there
has never been as wide an appreciation
of the importance Of copper. We no
longer hear of substitutes for copper
when copper is available 1t is a metal
in a class by itself, which is entering
more and more into use, and upon
which the world is coming to rely more
and more each year.
The United States in 1916 produced
IS per cent of the worlds copper metal.
The total refinery output was 3,064.-
3S4, $50 pounds, of which the United
States produced 2,311 100000 pounds.
Commenting on the copper metal sit
uation, the Wall Street Journal is
moved to say.
1T would seem that with the war
raging furiously and this country COM
mitted to billions of war expenditure.
the demand for copper must hold for a
long time to come. In the arts of peace
also, especially in these days of coal
scarcity, electrically generated power
Is forging to the front This means
copper in steadily expanding volume.
In the great reconstruction days to
follow peace-wheneve that happy
time arrives-copper should be utilized
in constructive and electrical work on
a scale never before approached in the
worlds history. At the same time, be
1t remembered, no new deposits-which
require fully five years after discovery
to bring to productivity-are known to
exist. We have in all probability wit
messed maximum production figures
for years TO come.
