SUBMARINE SINKS
AMERICAN STEAMER
FREDERICK r. KELLOGG SENT
DOWN OFF AMBROSE CHAM
MEL NEAR NEW YORK.

New York.-A German submarine.
approaching the very gates of New
York harbor, sunk the oil tanker
Frederick r. Kellogg off the Ambrose
channel. Thirty-five members Of the
crew brought here reported that FIVE
others are missing. These survivors
were picked up by an American.
steamer.
Torpedoed without warning, the
Kellogg sank in three minutes, said
| member of her crew ON coming
ashore here. The force Of the ex-
plosion was terrific, they declared,
and the FIVE missing men, who were
in the engine room, are believed to
have been killed. No submarine was
seen, according to Capt. White.
The survivors, in small boats, row.
ed for three hours towards shore
when a freighter took them aboard.
One of thescrew reported his narrow
escape when he was caught below
decks by the rapidly sinking ship. lie
was carried down by the suction, he
asserted, but swan to the surface and
reached one of the boats. Navy off,
cials enjoined silence upon the SUR
viyors before they could complete
their accounts Of the disaster.
Permitted later to detail their ex-
periences, members Of the Kellogg
Company declared that while making
for shore they saw a submarine ope-
rating under attempted concealment.
A dory suddenly rose out Of the wa
ter, they said. and from one Of the
many holes in its keel a periscope pro-
truded.
The dory fioated for some time, the
sailors asserted, as though designed
to attract passing steamship toward

ARE BEING KILLED.

ner in Which Our Wounded
Are Being Treated.

With the American Army in France.
While Germany is conducting a
widespread propaganda among neutral
nations to the effect that the Amefi-
can military officials order the killing
and manning of wounded prisoners,
German officials are treating the
American wounded in an inhumare
manner and making them the special
objects of their hatred. Many evl-
dences of these facts have been
brought to light recently.
A narrowing story of the treat
ment of soldiers captured by the Ger
mans is told by two British prisoners
who escaped from the Germans and
entered the American lines. Both are
men of more than average intelli-
gence. They say that 1900 British
prisoners with 1000 Russians were
forced by the Germans to build the
German railroad south of the Vesle
river. They say that in Germany the
signs which formerly read, Scott
strafe England ("May God punish
England") now have been altered by
substituting America for England.
They declare that German soldiers
make a practice of sending home the
food and comfort articles which they
steal from packages sent to allied
prisoners.
'I would like to be in charge OF a
camp of German prisoners" said one
of the men. "Ajl the German SOL
diers that saw are of the same type.
They insult, abuse and kill their prls-
oners at the least provocation."
He said that it would be impossible
for human being to survive long Oh
the food given him while he was a
prisoner He said that the usual ra-
ton consisted of pint of coffee made
of hawthorne berries, for breakfast.
At 2 in the afternoon he was given
a watery soup containing few dried
vegetable. At o'clock he received
a pint of hawthorne coffee and three
quarters of a pound Of black bread.
He declared that no man could sur
vive six months on such diet.
"The Russian prisoners are treated
like brothers by the boche now" he
said. The French have the next best
treatment and the British next. Your
country will be- startled when it
learns of the inhumane manner in
which your wounded are being treat
ed.

suffered disastrous blow. saw
hundreds of trains filed with wound
ed from the Marine front. The Ger
mans now are talking of the posi-
bility of a propaganda TO compel the
neutrals to break with the allies and
make situation out Of which Ger
man peace could be secured. In ray
opinion, there is no degree Of devil
ishness of which the Germans will
not be capable when they find that
they are whipped.
"The comment that I heard among
the German soldiers convinced me
that the Americans have them wor-.
ried. They had been made to believe
that they could wade through the
Yankees as though they were lot OK

from their surprise yet"

How to Keep Tools.

Tools should be kept dry, for mois-
ture causes rust, which is very injUri-
GUS, especially to sharp-edged tools. In
climates where the atmosphere is
moist keep tools in wall cabinet or
tool chest. If the atmosphere is dry
they may be hung on the wall about
the work bench or arranged on shelves.
1t should be the aim to have a place
for every tool, and then cultivate the
practice of returning it to it's proper
place Immediately upon the compile
ton Of the work in hand. A very good
plan for keeping the tools in their re-
spective places is first to draw an out
line of each tool in it's place upon the
wall and then paint this space black or
some color in contrast with the wall
itself, so that when any tool is not In
it's place its absence will be readily
apparent.
Many persons are in the habit Of
leaving tools where they finish using
them. In the first place, tool can
not be kept in working condition if
allowed to remain exposed to the
weather, and in the second place the
time lost in locating the tool when it
is next required for use will be much
greater than that which would be re-
quired to return it to the proper place.

Clean Barns, Cleaner Milk.

Construction Of the dairy barn may
be less important than careful methods
in handling milk when keeping down
the bacterial content Of the milk is
considered, but the barn construction
may be such as to tighten the labor
necessary to keep the barn and it's
equipment in a clean condition.
The stable should have hard floor
which can be readily cleaned; for this
reason dirt floor is undesirable. A ce-
ment floor is easily cleaned and pre-
vents waste Of the liquid manure. It
is likely to be cold, however, and
therefore extra bedding is required for
the cows.
The gutter back Of the COWS should
be large enough to hold the drOppings
one 16 to 18 inches wide and inches
deep is usually sufficient-and it
should incline so as to drain readily
unless the liquid is taken up by absorb
ents. The best types of stalls and
managers are those which present the
least surface for collecting dust and
dirt and the least obstruction to- the
circulation Of air. Stalls of wool have
many fiat surfaces and cracks which
are difficult to keep clean and are not

Brighten Bank Barns.

Very few farm buildings con-
structed Is or 20 years ago meet the
sanitary requirements of today. Bank
barns are generally dark and damp.
Light is often excluded from one or
more sides, thus making the stable
difficult to keep clean. Stables which
have easements open on one side for
the manure furnish a breeding place
for flies. Barns which have many ex-
posed beams, braces and ledges on
which dust may lodge are undesirable.
In these old types of buildings little or
no attention was paid to proper venti-
lation and distribution of the light.
Many Of them, however, can at small
expense be remodeled to meet all SAN
itary requirements.

SHEEP INCREASE
NEEDED BY ARMY
Wool Production Now Only 80 Pei
Cent of Amount Required for
Peace Times.
RAISE MORE FOR SOLDIERS
Department of Agriculture Urges More
Attention to Industry Especially in
Eastern and Southern Portions
of Country.

Pointing out the serious shortage Of
of such vital Importance in war opera
tions, the department of agriculture
in it's agricultural program for 1918
urges that an effort be made to in
crease the production Of sheep and
wool. Increase in farm f1ocks is rec
commended wherever conditions are
favorable and the first cost of stocking
is not too high.
Amount Of Wool Produced.
The wool produced in this country
furnishes only about so per cent Of
the amount used in peace times; the
war demands have emphasized the
seriousness Of this domestic shortage.
To equip two million soldiers and
clothe them for one year would re-
quire the entire quantity of wool
grown annually in this country.
During recent years we have ShOrn
about 35 million f1eeces annually, and
the pulled wool taken from sheep and
lambs slaughtered for meat brings the
total clip up to the equivalent Of about
40 million f1eeces. If all this wool
were suitable for military use, it
would supply only two million men.
The production of wool in the United
States has remained practically sta
tionary from 1914 to 1917 while i'm
ports increased 48 per cent, and the
estimated net supply increased only
about 21 per cent.
Mutton and Wool.
That mutton and wool production in
this country can be increased greatly
admits of no doubt. This can be ac-
complished by developing sheep hus-
bandry on farms, especially in the
Eastern and Southern states. Steps
should be taken in the East and
South to do away with the sheep-kill-
ing dog menace by state or local
action. Large results can be secured
by improving methods Of breeding and
management on the range; by secur-
ing the restocking of improved farm
lands with sheep; by the larger use of
forage crops and pastures; by en-
couraging sheep and lamb clubs; by
the elimination of parasites; by pro-
lection against losses from predatory
animals; and by having lambs ready
for market at from 70 to 80 pounds
weight, thereby requiring minimum
of grain to finish them and making
possible the maintenance Of larger
breeding flocks.

Aidinu Farmers hy Groups.

One of the important ways in which
a county agricultural agent serves the
farmers in a community is by means
of farm management demonstrations.
In most communities there are a few
farmers who are much more success
full than the average of the rest Of the
farmers in that community, and at the
same time they are working under
very similar conditions, with similar
soil, climate, transportation facilities,
and the same markets. In conducting
farm management demonstrations
groups of farmers are assisted in keep
ing records Of their business. Each
farmer is assisted in determining from
these records what labor income he re-
ceiveS for his years work and what
each part of his farm contributed
toward this income. At the same time
he is given certain information regard
ing how some Of his more successful.
neighbors conduct their business.
