our convoy and escorts were waiting

when we reached them. The ships of
different columns took their places,
and after a few minutes confusion,
and lively work on the signal halyards
the other ships of the convoy got into
place.
"Guarded above by dirigibes. hydro
planes and anchored balloons, and on
the surface by fleet of patrol boats

"As in the srmy we have turned

so on the water we have turned to
medieval naval tactics; but instead of
conveys of Spanish galleons and fri
gates of the seventeenth century from
the new world to the old, our conveys
were American transports and de-
stroyers.
Even the old sailmaker aboard our
ship, who had been on the ocean ever
since he shipped as cabin boy on board
down East blue noser 80 years ago,
admitted the convoy game was a new

HEAVY STRAIN ON HIGHWAYS

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Apparently the point has been
reached where the demands of traffic
have exceeded the strength of the
average road to meet them. High
ways designed to withstand the
pounding of ordinary loads, that have
stood up under imposts they were in
tended to sustain, no longer appear
day conditions. Congestion on our
railways, possibly more acute in some
sections than in others, has put upon
our roads transportation burden new
er expected and consequently not pro-
vided for by the engineers who design
ed the highway systems of the states.
Roads have been designed with the
same care as given to other structures
and with the same regard for the pnr-
poses for which they were constructed
and the burdens they were called upon
to bear. Widespread failure is dem
Dnstrative of the fact that roads can
not carry unlimited loading. Their ca
pacity is limited. If it is exceeded
habitually and constantly, then they
cannot survive.
The products of our farms and of
our factories must be moved. The
wants of our urban jewellers must be
met. But the needs of our country in
volyed in this great conflict are para
mount to the needs of single communi-
ties, and thus when avalanches or
freight destined to fill the greater ne

closing of our vast system of rail trans

There Is no good reason why a sow

bred again to farrow the early part
of September. A SOW bred about No

for profitably rearing two crops Of pigs

EvAP0RATED MILK FOR ARMY
Federal Food Inspectors Watch Fac
tories Making Product-Much
Being Shipped Overseas.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Federal food inspectors of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
are giving special attention to fac.
tories where milk is condensed or
evaporated for use of the allied
armies and for consumers at home.
Condensed or evaporated milk is a
most important article of food even in
peace times. 1t is used by bakeries
and confectioneries, and in feeding
babies and the sick, as well as being
used as a general substitute for fresh
milk wherever the raw milk cannot be
obtained in sufficient quantity or pur-
ity.
In time of war, evaporated milk be-
comes necessity, because it can be
TRANSPORTED with ease and will keep
reasonable time under conditions
where it is impossible to obtain or
keep fresh milk. AS much as 80 per
cent of the output of many large fac
tories is being shipped overseas for
the use Ol Tic dilitu
Inspectors examine the sanitary
condition of factories where milk is
condensed or evapOrated, sterllized
and canned. Samples of the raw milk
as received at the factories are taken
for analysis by chemists and bac-
teriologists to see that it is clean and
wholesome and that it possesses the
proper proportion of butterfat and 9th
er ingredients. The processes of eyap-
grafton, sterilization, and canning are
studied; samples of the finished evap-
grated product are taken for examina-
ton in order that it may be deter
mined whether the evaporated milk
has been condensed to the proper con-
stituency. contains the right food ele-
ments, and is clean and wholesome.
The contents of the cans are weighed
and compared with. the amount stated
on the labels. The labels on the cans
are critically studied to see that there
is no misbranding or false statements
made regarding the quantity, the quail
ity, or the strength of the evapOrated
milk.
INSPECTORS of the various states CO..
operate with the federal food inspec-
tors in this work. The federal food
and drugs act applies only to ship
ments of foods that enter interstate
or foreign commerce. State inspectors
have jurisdiction over products made
and sold wholly within the state.
The joint authority of the federal
and state inspectors often enables
them, working together, to correct
abuses which either working alone
could not reach. Adulterated or mis-
branded condensed milk, when shipped
into interstate or foreign commerce,
may be seized under the federal food
and drugs act, and the manufactures
or other responsible party may be
prosecuted under the criminal sections
of the law. The state food inspectors
have authority, under the law of some
states, to require insanitary factories
to close until put into sanitary condi-
ton.
/. Evaporated or condensed milk, as
defined for the guidance of the officials
in enforcing the food and drugs act,
must be made from whole, fresh, clean
milk, and contain not less than 25.5
per cent of total solids, and not less
than rs per cent of milk fat.

the entire summer and with rich corn
silage and first-class legume hay for
winter feeding, good dairy cows will
yield a heavy flow Of milk at mini
mum Of cost. Clover. alfalfa, cowpea,
soybean, velvet bean or other legume
hay, when fed with good silage, will
maintain medium production of milk
at relatively low cost. Under ordi-
nary farm conditions 1t is not to be
expected that legume hay will take the
place of the entire grain ration, but
If 1t is substituted in part, large guam
titles of grain will be released for hui
man food.
