NEAR SOLUTION
Mr.. Wilson considers the most
pressing of all problems before the
entente nations in a fair way toward
being solved. This is the question
of supplying food to the starving peo-
Dles of the liberated countries.
It now seems probable that the
work will be handled principally by

NEW TROUGH WATERS STOCK
Animal, Stepping on Platform, Opens
Valves Which Allow a Fresh, Colo
Stream TO Pour In.

A trough has been invented which
can gauge the amount of water an ami
NAL drinks There is platform which
works In conjunction with valves on
the supply and drain pipes of the
trough. When an animal steps on the
platform the valves are opened and a
stream of water pours in. AS he slakes
his thirst and steps off the platform
the inlet is closed and the surplus wa
ter is drained off.
The valve mechanism of this device
Is mounted In a concrete well In the
ground. The valve of the supply pipe
and the valve of the drain pipe are
mounted side by side, and the stems of
both valves fit into a single operating
lever. Hinged above this mechanism
at the level of the ground is the plat
form. The front end of the platform
is raised slightly by a pair of springs
and is connected with the lever of the
valves. The water trough lies Just In
front of the platform.
AS soon as an animal walks on the
platform he presses the front end down
and opens the valves of the trough
pipes. The water gushes in at just the
rate that he will drink. His thirst
quenched, he leaves the platform, the
springs raise IL up and close the valves.
Very little water is wasted. and the
drink furnished the thirsty animal Is
us cool and fresh as that which is sup
piled to che farmer and his men.
