SUGAR Beet Pulp for Cattle.

The desert cattle ranchers Of Arr
IONA and New Mexico have learned
that to raise cattle Is one business and
to fatten them is another. For this
reason they ship their cattle to Call
fornia, where sugar beet pulp is OBJ
tanned in abundance. One factory 10
located near the fields where the beets
are grown. The cattle are turned into
this field after the beets are harvested.
Under the fence is placed trough
which projects outside Of the fence
Just enough to allow the beet pulp to
be thrown into it from the cars. The
cars run on tracks from the factory to
the field and follow the fences around
the corral. More space Is thus OBJ
tanned for the beef cattle to feed, and
there is but little waste Of fodder. In
these war days the cattlemen are
learning to conserve stock food, as the
cattle themselves are conserved for our
use-Popular Science Monthly.

War as a leVeler.

With parents, lfmOuslneS, chauffeurs,
new recruit arrived at the training
camp, was registered, and assigned
quarters. The chauffeur caught up the
luggage. The officer held up a re-
straining hand. "Mr. So-and-So Is now
in the United States service; he Will
attend to his own luggage and find his
own quarters" And thus, with no
more aid or ceremony than brick
layer would have received, the son OF
a man who could have bought the
camp and all its appurtenances enter
ed the American army. Not wealth,
but what man proves himself to be,
places him as soldier. Men start
on the same level, save when they
have had special training. Fgs

War and the Churches.

One hears much nowadays about the
growing reunion Of the churches which
the war has brought about. But a
dual service which recently took place
is probably unique. Not far behind
the lines two services were held sim.
ultaneously in the village church-the
one being the usual Roman Catholic
service attended by the Inhabitants
while the other was Protestant one
for battalion Of Australians ''resting''
In the vicinity. The proceedings open
ed by the singing Of hymn by the
Australians to music supplied by their
own band. Then the French cure ad.
dressed his flock, after which 1t was
the turn of the Protestants-and so
on-each congregation taking 1t in
turn until the service was concluded

oulis az Submarine Detectors.

DR.. A. D. Pentz, Jr., of New Bright
on, l.. l., has developed plan for
using gulls to disclose the presence Of
submarines. He suggests that hoppers
"a inches long be made of sheet steel
and bolted to the tops Of submarines,
to be filled with chopped fish, which
may be released from time to time by
means Of crank apparatus inside the
vessel. In this way gulls will be taught
to associate submarines with food and
will gather DANGEROUSLY over any sub
marine that may appear in the waters.
The scheme has the Endorsement of the
National Association Of Audubon Soci-
cites and Is receiving serious attention

Americans. who in prewar days. de-
lighted in visiting "Shakespeares
country" would find many changes
there now.
Quietly and unostentatiously through
the unwearying efforts Of Marie Cor.
ELI, the novelist, and few who sup
port her artistic tastes, these last three
and a half years have disclosed the
ancient mysteries Of Stratford. OLD
houses, with plastered walls, which
were eyesores to the visitors and resi-
dents alike, have been stripped Of their
outward ugliness, to reveal the quaint
picturesque Tudor architecture OF
Shakespeare's time. Wherever 1t has
been possible the early appearance OF
the buildings has been restored, and
the effect has been transformation
and the restoration Of the place as
Shakespeare knew it.
The ancient "Sword Of State" which
hangs in Shakespeare's birthplace was
removed from it's scabbard in August,
1914 as an official notice that England
was at war and the people say tradi-

until England is again at peace.
Once at least, since war was de-
clared Shakespeare's old home has
given expression to its feeling Of graft
tude to Americans for the tributes they
have been privileged to pay to 1t from
time to time. That was when the
United States entered the war. Pres
ident Wilson's memorable message to
the congress was proclaimed aloud.
Many Of the townfolk had almost de-
SPARED of the momentous event, and
it appears there were only two Amer
lean flags in Stratford at the time. One
was great banner owned by Miss
Marie Corelli and the other waving
from the house Of John Harvard's
mother. Both were promptly hurled
out into the breeze Of the garden spot
Of England" and thus America had
again come into the hearts Of Shake
speare's people.

Two Of our most famous gunbonts

In st. Nicholas, which has handed

She burned wood. and was unwieldly
as a ferry boat, but did yeoman service
even as late as the Boxer troubles in
1900. The Petrol, one Of Admiral
Dewey's famous squadron mt the battle
Of Manila bay, is now used as n station
ship In Cuban waters. The Callno,
Don Juan lie Austria, Elcano, Isle de

flag of Spain, for they were captured
from the Spaniards ut Santiago or Ma.
Mia bay. The Villalobos proved too
much Of n name for Yankee tars, so
they have rechristened her the Village
