RANGE FINDING IN THE AIR.
Artillery "spotters" Undergo an In
tonse Nervous Strain.

tCn1G NCfNOao vi aNh
Artillery observation is one Of the
most important branches OF air serv-
ice. SO indispensable Is the airman in
connection with modern artillery that
a noted authority recently stated that
if one side had airplanes while the
other had none the world war would
have been over In six months.
pilots and observers work in con-
junction with battery. They arrange
beforehand with the general stam just
where that battery is to operate. If
they are ordered to seek out an enemy
battery that may be lodged at the end
Of wood or in some concealed posi-
ton the pilot mnneuvers about under
the instructions of the observer until
the battery is spotted, whereupon its
positiOn IS signaled back by means Of
a wireless set to the battery com
mander
After notifying the battery to open
fire the observer hangs over the posi-
ton at height of. say. 5000 feet, to
avoid the trajectory of the shells pass
ing beneath his machine, and as the
shells burst near the position under
fire the observer notifies his battery
how short or how far ahead or how
much TO either side the shells are fall
ing. The observer then orders the pl-
lot to proceed over the next position
and the operation is repeated. When
| the work is completed the airmen are
ordered TO return by means of signals
In the form Of canvas strips placed on
the ground
All the while the observer is direct
ing artillery fire his machine Is being
subjected to intense hombardment by
anti.aircraft guns, which are firing
shrapnel shells by the hundreds. Fly
ing fragments Of shrapnel are all about
the airmen beneath them, all around
them and above them. For three hours
at times the airmcn must endure thin
intense bombardment, and there Is ne
telling at what moment the tail Of th'
machine or some other vital part may
be blown away or when the mnchin'
NAV become wrapped In flames. The
work Is most dangerous and nerve
racking. and most OF the pilots stutte'
nftcr going through this ordeal. SomI
have been known to be unable e

SUGGESTIONS ON CARE AND
FEEDING OF DAIRY CATTLE

Do not feed the dairy herd as a
herd, for cows differ in their food re-
quirements just as human beings do.
By feeding all cows in the herd alike,
some are sure not to get enough for
the greatest profit and others will get
more than they can use to advantage.
Cows need much water and should
be induced to drink two or three times
day if possible. The average milk
COW requires nearly ten gallons of
water day and more than two-thirds
of that must come as drink and the
balance from water in the feed. AL
ways provide clean fresh water.
Salt should be supplied at the rate
Of five to seven ounces week, given
as often as twice during the week. Do
not use a common salt box in the
yard unless all cows are absolutely
free from disease.
1t pays in dollars and cents to give
the COW extra care. The COW that is
kept comfortable will give the best re-
turns.
1t is always desirable to grind all
grains for the dairy COW because Of
the large amount of feed that a cow
must digest in order to produce well.
There is no advantage in cooking
or steaming feeds for dairy cows.
Some palatable feeds may be consum-
de in larger quantities if cooked but
cooking does not ordinarily add much
to the palatability of grains and may
even decrease their digestibility.

PRODUCTION.

The Oil produced this property is Pennsylvania grade

and two large gas wells Four of the oil wells found in
the first Cow Run sand at approximate depth of 600 feet
two oil wells found in the second Cow Run sand at a
proxmate depth of 825 feet gas well found in the Salt
sand approximate depth of 1880 feet and gas well
is found in the Big un sand at approximate depth of
1900 feet.
The oil this property is sold to the Eureka Pipe Line
Company of whose pipe lines crosses this property
One of the gas lines of the Cabot Company this
property and they offering SC per 1000 cubic feet for
gas. The Hope Gas Company has line within miles OF
this property and they paying c per 1000 cubic foot for
gas They willing to entend their line to this property
as soon as drill few gas wells AS these two
wells are good for 2500000 cubic feet day. they repre-
sent very good income at sc per 1000 cubic feet
One of the six oil wells on this property has produced
S5 100000 worth of oil since it drilled about six
ago. and wells in this district pump for from Is to 50 years
WHAT FULL DEVELOPMENT MEANS
In order to completely develop this property, it will re-
uuire the drilling of about $40 wells Figuring 25%
Of them to be gas wells same two out of eight present
wells) and 75% to be oil wells will give us (when fully de-
veoped) about 85 gas wells and 265 oil wells Allowing for
1917 of them be poor would leave us 6 good gas wells and
238 good oil wells.
Figuring settled production of only two bbs Of oil per
we'll we get minimum settled production Of oil Of
about 48O bbs Adding the present production from the
present six wells and touch the 300 bb per day mark
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1917-05-25

at present price of oil that would mean 90 per day.
Figuring 225OOOO cubic feet OF gas per gas we'll and
get from the 76 gas wells total Of 17OOOO cubic feet Of
gas per day. AS connections will be made with the
Hope Gas Company figure at least 7c per 1000 cubic
foot for gas Allowing 50% reduction under line pressure
and we find an income of over 100000 per day from gas
This would give total income of around $7,50OOO per
day or $235OOOO during the from this property
which is almost five times the entire capitalization Of this
Company Now discount these figures just 50% if you wish
and get yearly settled income of 17500O per year
from this one property You say eyes, that is o. H. pro-
vding they get just onehaf of what they figure on but

four sands Then there at least three other sands be-
The point the possibilities for large future re-
turns from this property the best and it is certain that
this property will at least return 1907 year on the entire
capitalization of this Company The installation of gaso
