HOW BIG SHELLS ARE TESTED
High Explosives Subjected to Heat
Treatment, Also Tried in Brinell
Ball-Testny Machine.

If you wish to test the hardness OF
IN apple, the NEST natural way Is to
press down upon its surface and note
The indentatiGn of your thumb. This
is simple ard conclusive evidence. The
Frcncn government employs a very
similar test 10 prove the hardness OF
lis high explosive shells, says the Pop
ular Science Monthly.
To secure the maximum of destruc-
tiveEess. it is important not only that
the steel p:ojectiles should be Of a
certain hardness, but also that they
should not he too hard. After the cas-
ing has been roughly formed and hOl-
lowed out, the shells are subjected to
what is known as cheat treatment"
10y which the steel is brought to the
correct hardness. To make dOubly
sure. the shells are tested in Brinell
ball-testing machine.
This machine tests the hardness of
the shell exactly as your thumb tests
the hardness of the apple. 1t is fitted
with a small, hardened steel ball,
which is pressed into the shell under q
specified load. The indentation made
by the ball is measured. and if with.
in certain limits, the hardness is cor.
rect. If not, the shell must be fur
ther treated.

SargOn carried the ten tribes Of Israel

What Becomes Of That Cent?

A farmer comes TO town with 30
apples. which he sells three for cent,
getting. of course, 10 cents for them.
Another farmer, also with 80 ap-
pies. sells them two for a cent, getting
Is cents for his. They get 25 cents
in all.
The next time they come in, with
30 apples each. they meet at the edge
Of town and put their apples together,
making GO apples. One man having
sold two for cent. the other three for
n cent. they decided to sell them five
for cents.
They do so. ard when they're
through frd out they have received
bat 81 cents.
The problem is, why did they not
got as much for their apples selling
them five Cor cents as they did when
they sold them separately, or, what
becomes OF the cent?

KIDDING SWINE OF VERMIM
Farsighted Farmers Keep oilers In
Hog Lot the Year Round-Sure
Death to All Lice.

When you see your hogs rubbing
against fence rails, posts, trees, cor
ners of buildings; when they don't
gain; when their coat of hair gets
rough and skin becomes diseased !;
when they get restless and nervous
it's ninety-nine times out Of one hun
dred that they are infested with mis-
cradle, bloOd-sucking, torturing, tor
menting lice.
In such a case don't waste any time.
Get some indicated or crude oil and
if you have a dozen or more hogs, get
q hog Oiler andalet your hogs rid
themselves of these nests without de-
lay. These hog oilers allow the hogs
to rub the oil on the itchy, lousy parts.
This is sure death to the lice, but
cannot harm your hogs.
Farsighted hog raisers take no
chances with filthy lice. They keep
hog oilers in their hog lot the year
round. The saving in feed alone soon
pays for the oil and Oiler.

DISPOSING OF DEAD ANIMALS
Common Practice Of Feeding carcasses
to Swine Is Dangerous and
Should BE Stopped.

(By DIR. ]. t. DINWOODIE, South Da-
kota State College)
The common practice Of feeding car
casses to hogs is dangerous and should
be discontinued. Although hogs fOrtu-
nately are not susceptible to the many
diseases that kill other classes Of do
nestle animals, yet feeding to swine
the carcasses of animals dead from in
fictitious and contagious diseases does
not remove the danger to other ami
mails. In many cases such a practice
Is only a means Of spreading disease.
The meat of an animal whose death
was due to disease Is not At food for
any other animal. Such meat is full of
the poisonous material produced and
liberated by the action of disease
germs. Undoubtedly in many cases
hogs suffer from digestive troubles
from this very cause. This condition
may be only temporary and pass I'M
noticed by the average hog owner.
Burning is the only sure method Of
destroying a carcass. Burying does not
destroy, it only removes. Feeding to
hogs does neither.

Food for the DOG.

Meat is the natural diet Of the wild
dog and should be an important item
in the sporting dogs diet, observes
Outing. So long as 1t Is untainted 1t
makes little difference whether it is
horse, beef or mutton, but pork is not
so good, and any quantities Of fat
should not be fed. Generally 1t Is
best to cook the meat in a sort Of
stew with vegetables mixed, but occa-
sionally a dinner of raw lean meat is
q welcome change and serves as a
tonic and mild laxative. During the
hunting season it is a mighty good
Sunday dinner for the shooting dog.
