roughage in the morning, only a small
amount at noon, and the remainder at
night. Little hay should be fed at noon
as it is bulky and full stomach cuts
down efficiency. At the present war
prices oats are cheaper as a grain
feed than corn, and good bright cotton
seed meal is the most economical
source of protein and the cheapest
supplementary feed to be had. A
maximum OF about two pounds a day
Of cOttOnseed meal is all that should
be fed and the horse should become
accustomed to it gradually. Begin with
one-fOurth pound the first day, increas-
ing it quarter pound each day until
the right amount is reached. None
but the best quality should be fed and
should contain not less than Al to 43
per cent protein"
A ration Of eight pounds of oats. two
pounds OF cOttonseed meal, fifteen
pounds Of straw, and one pound Of mo-
lasses a day for each 1000 pounds live
weight is given by Doctor McCamp-
bell as one OF the most economical to
feed under the present conditions and
high prices. The straw should be fed
in the morning and evening and the
molasses sprayed on it. This ration
has proved successful and has given
good results.
Another point often neglected With
the horse is that of watering. Water
Immediately after q meal washes the
feed from the stomach and thus de-
creases the value received from it by
the horse. The farmer should take q
baErel Of water to the field with him
and give his horses g bucketful ar least
once each half day.
Cut the grain ration down to one
half on Sundays and any other time
when the horse is not working. Full
feeding while not at work causes dis
orders and the disease known as aza-
turia or Monday morning sickness"
Feeding less while not at work is an
economical practice and much better
for the horse.

2. That they gained weight q per
cent more rapidly.
And last, that they consumed only 90
per cent as much grain In gaining 100
pounds.
This shows three very definite ad-
vantages in the use Of the self-feeder.
Pigs fed in this manner will eat more
grain per day than under any other
method Of feeding. This maximum
consumption is not wasteful OF grain !;
in fact it saves grain, for an increase
Of 10 per cent in the rate OF eating
caused an increase Of . per cent in
the rate of gaining. The object in feed
ing is to put on fat as rapidly and
with as little grain as possible. A
method which will increase the rate
of gaining g per cent and at the same
time decrease by per cent the grain
required to produce a unit OF gain is
certainly worthy of the breeders-con-
SideratiOn.
How TO Use SeIf-Feeder.
Fill part of the Self-feeder with corn
or similar carbOnaceous feed and the
other part with protein supplement /;
also take care to see that il is kept
filled. Induce well-grown Shoats to eat
when and what they choose, and save
grain, save labor, and get your hogs
to market at the earliest possible date.

CHAPTER ~.
The Quest of the Sea Shark.

Lieutenant Donald Paget stood on
the upper platform of the F55, which
ran awash in the waves of the North
Atlantic, far from the mother ship
which had conveyed her and others of
the fOtilla almost to the north of
Scotland
The frail little craft hummed noisiIy
as her petrol motors drove the twin
screws through the water. The F55.
one of the older type of submarine,
was making ten knots through a diff
cult sea. Within her $50 feet by 15
she held an amazing pOtentiality for
destruction.
Above the coming tower rose the
single periscOpe for the captain or
lookout man-now almost useless.
should the F55 submerge herself, on
account of the washing seas Within
the tower were the observation port,
depth meter. and tubes connecting
with the engine room and torpedo
station. The platform quivered inces-
sanity as the periscOpe motor under
meath throbbed. and the vibration of
the engines made the entire vessel
shiyer..
In the few days that he had been
at sea the sense OF responsibility for
his ship and the lives of his men had
weighed on Donald heavily. Now, en-
tering the coming tower. and taking
his stand beside the lookout man, he
seemed to assume a dual personality.
One part of him bent itself automat-
ically to its task The other was
thinking over the events Of the past
