toned, and on this account the move
ment should take place at time of
year when the temperature of the two
points is as nearly eQuable as possible.
Dairy cows should be handled under
normal conditions before and during
the trip. They should be fed and wa
tered at regular intervals, and if any
Of the animals are in milk they should
be MIXED on schedule. It pays to
feed grain and hay during long ship
ment where the cows are accustomed
to these materials. Simple provisions
for the feeding of hay can be made
by stretching small mesh hog wire
along the side walls and ceiling of
the car so as to form a wedge-shaped
feeding bunk, which can be filed with
hay in correspondence with the appe-
titles of the cattle. Grain is difficult
material to feed in transit in freight
car where no special provisions are
made to prevent wastage as result
Of the tendency Of the animals to
move about where they are not hal
tered in place. On long trips grain
can be carried in the car and fed at
points where the stock is unloaded. A
competent attendant should always &C.
company the dairy cows. He should
ride in the car with the stock, as often
he can avert injury to the animals
by prompt action in the car in case
one of the cows gets down.
Water and Feed.
Several large barrels of water, as
well as plenty of feed should be car
ried in the car as protection against
delay or accident which may detain
the train to the extent that without
this feed the animals would go hungry
or thirsty far beyond the 36-hour limit
Sand or cinders constitute the best
bedding materials and during long
trips fresh supplies of these materials
should be placed in the car at unloHd-
ing points whenever they are needed.
In view of the high price of dairy
cows at the present time, it is impera-
tive that every stOckman exert all eff
fort to make for COW comfort in tran
sit and to move the animals with a
minimum of loss as a result of care
lessness, lack Of attention and mex
perience in the cow shipping business.

PROFITS FROM SURPLUS

Two sources of income from
dairy cattle are worthy of con-
sideration. One is represented
by the sale Of products, either
milk or butterfat; and the other
comes from the sale Of surplus
stock. Often the latter may
amount to a considerable sum,
even though the herd is COM
posed Of grade animals. The pre-
dominance of certain breed in
a community offers many advan-
tages. A market is established
which, because of the available
ity Of large numbers Of animals,
attracts buyers from a distance,
especially those who buy large
consignments. Under such cir
cumstances all surplus stock may
be disposed of to better advan-
tage and cooperative advertis-
ing also may be used effectively.

YANKEES HELPED In
KENNEL Hill FIGHT

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY ON
THE FLANDERS BATTLE FRONT
Sept. 1. g p. m.)-American troops
aided the British in the capture OF the
great German stronghold at KENNEL
Hill, southwest of Ypres. After the
victory an American officer said:
1--WE all remembered how gallantly
the French fought on the heights last
spring when they were told to stick
and did so although surrounded by
an avalanche of Huns It was sweet
to be in on the recapture of such hal
lowed ground"
American aviators Joined the Brit
vance.
Since the successful drive was
launched on the Flanders front two
weeks ago the Yankees were keenly
impatient to pitch into the swirl of
battle that was spreading along a
ffty-mile 'front.'
Finally they were drawn in and the
men fighting beneath the Stars and
Stripes felt a deep pride in helping
their overseas comrades in arms to re-
take KENNEL Hill.
(Kemmel Hill lies about five miles
southwest OF Ypres and was the scene
OF terrific fghting in April when the
Germans on the Flanders front were
bending every effort toward break
ing through the allied front toward
the channel coast The allies holding
that sector gave way slightly, but
all efforts OF the Germans to dislodge
them from the hills west and north
of KENNEL were unsuccessfuL)

and by 4 o'clock four alarms had been
sounded.
The Newport News. while not as
large as either the Southland or the
Northland, had larger boilers than
either OF these boats, and made the
trip to Norfolk and return on the
same schedule as the larger steamers.
The boat had sleeping accommo-
dations for about $50 passengers and
was the oldest boat on the Norfolk and
Washington line.
Built in Newport News. Va.
in 1895, the burned steamer has
seen more service than either Of
the two newer boats. 1t was rebuilt
in 1908 and since that time has been
used on the Norfolk Washington runs
nine months out of the year. The
steamer is 260 feet long with beam
OF 46 feet, gross tonnage 1885, and
draft of IA feet l inch.
A scow belonging to Portch &
Jones. dock builders and pile driv-
ers, was moored to the burning wharf
when Emmett L. Portch, SIT Sixth
street southwest head of the firm.
appeared on the scene. Climbing
over a wooden fence between the
street and the river, he jumped in a
small boat and rowed to the scow,
which had caught fire. Seizing a but
ter barrel on the dock he began to
dip water and pour II on the flames.
at the same time trying to unite the
scow in order to move it from the
burning dock.
Just as Portch grabbed for one OF
the ropes which help the scow to the
dock. a stream of water from n tire
hose caught him full in the chest and
knocked him twenty feet away into the
water. Two soldiers standing on a
nearby dock jumped into a boat and
rowed to Portch, hanging onto the side
of the scow And gasping for breath.
They pulled him in the boat Potch
jumped back to the scow, and in short
time had the scow away from the burn
ing dock.
The Norfolk and Washington Steam
boat Company is fully insured. accord

CROSS CARIBOU
WITH REINDEER

ST. JOHNS. N. F., Sept. AFTER
twelve years of experimenting in
raising Lapland reindeer in northern
Newfoundland. DR.. wilfred T. Gren-
fell, the Labrador medical missionary,
has decided to transfer his herd to
Canadian Labrador. An effort will be
made there to introduce a strain of
native caribou blood into the herd,
which has deteriorated through years
of inbreeding. Territory west of
Belle Isle strait in Canadian Labrador
has been selected for the new enter
prise.
DIR. Grenfell has long held the
theory that the caribou might be in
bred with reindeers to produce a
highly efficient draft animal, suitable
for use along the north coast. He
was unable to give this theory a thor
ough test in Newfoundland. The
country selected as the new home of
the reindeer is remote from settled
areas and considered we'll suited for
the purpose. by agreement with the
government OF the province OF Quebec
increases in the herd may be shipped
back to Newfoundland II the owner
desires.

% Identify for the present the American
unit which fought in the Mount Kem-

Press reports from the western lines
the last few days tended to indicate
that both French and American forces
have been added to British divisions on
the northern end Of the battle line.
That a maximum effort Is being put
forth In that region is indicated. Break.
Of the Drocourt-Q Queant switch Is
ignincant, for that line Is a reserve

Indications are that General Focn
does not intend to let the boche es-
.tablish himself on the Hindenburg line.
Speed and punch are the watchwords
now. The allies are manlfeStly engaged
In an eftort to clear northern France

The Hindenburg line will be reached
by the Germans during the week, ac-
.cording to all forecasts here. The Ger.

The Americans who fought about

to fight the flames from the water side

docks on either side OF the Norfolk
and Washington company's dock.
The steamer Newport News was
moored alongside the Norfolk and
Washington Company's dock, the
shore end OF which housed the COM
pany's general offices. The water end
Of the dock was a large warehouse.
c. o. Abbott, 634 3 street southwest,
watchman and night clerk in the Of

the story OF the beginning of the fire
to a reporter for The Times.
Ship Catches Fire.
'T was sitting in the office about
$3.50 this morning when I smelled
smoke. left the office and walk ed
to the back OF the building. There I
discovered smoke in the linen room.
Then ran outside the building and
saw the fiames shooting up the side
of the building. l turned in an alarm
and yelled to the watchman on the
boat that there was a fire. After
yelled to him saw the fire had
spread over three or four rooms. Five
minutes later the Newport News
caught on fire from the flames of the
warehouse. When the fire department
arrived the fre had gained so much
headway it was impossible to save
the boat"
The Newport News was one of the
three large boats of the Norfolk and
Washington Steamboat Company, run
ming between Norfolk and Washing
ton, the others being the Northland
and the Southland. Boat service be-
tween these two points will not be
interrupted as only two boats are
needed to maintain the regular sched-
ule. The loss of the Newport News,
however. will curtail freight service
Most of the records OF the company
were saved, according to Odell s. Smith,
treasurer. The records were securely
locked in metal cases. The contents
of the safe which was not locked are
expected to be recovered. The safe
is in the front of the building. where
the FIRE did the least damage.
In ten minutes after being discov-
cred the fire had gained such head
way the second alarm was turned IN.
