BRITISH AIRPLANE PLANS
ARE PLEASING TO IRELAND
Erection of Airdrome Factories
Promises Employment Of
Thousands.

Cablegram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1918.
DUBLIN, January 10.-There is great
satisfaction in Ireland at the decision of
the government to erect several airdromes
throughout the country. 1t is estimated
that nearly 1,o5o.000 pounds CSC. 6.250. .000j
will be spent in erection work. giving en-
ployment to thousands. 1t has also been
decided to start a government airplane
factory in Ireland. 1t is generally be-
lieved that after the war there will be
great developments in the aeroplane for
commercial purposes and as Ireland is the
first stopping place between the old and
the new world. the opportunities may be
great.
Ireland has already received much profit
from the industry since it has been found
that Ulster linen is especially valuable in
the construction of airplanes. Belfast
has customers among several of the al
lied countries and the demand has be-
come SO great that it threatens to ex-
coed the supply. The difficulty Is to get
sufficient fax. Ireland has never grown
enough for her linen industry. She has
had to get about half the amount used
from Russia and quarter from Belgium,
The government has decided to assist
the growth of fax in Ireland and it is ex-
pected that the acreage devoted to it will
be nearly doubled this year. The amount
is about 100000 acres so far.

81 GERMAN AIRP[ANES
DESTROYEDBY 3BOMBERS
French, on Another Occasion, De-

authenticated information shows be-
yond a doubt that thirty-seven German
airplanes were on one occasion de-
stroyed by three French bombing air
planes. and that at another time twen-
ty-two were demolished by two bomb
ers. This places the pilots and crews

planes in a class above the heroic and
deserved1y famous chasing pilots. This
is particularly interesting to United
States air service pupils because a
large majority Of them will mount
bombing planes when they go into
action inJFrance.
In the first year or two of the war
bombing was more or less despised in
the aviation service, and to it were
assigned pilots who qualified, but in
such poor style that they were ineligi-
bic for the airplanes used in speedy
pursuit and rapid reconnaissance. In
the past year the standing Of the
bombers has radically altered as the
result Of the high efficiency attained
by the British and French naval air
men making almost daily raids on the
German bases on the Belgian coast.
The long-distance raids by the British
and French into the land of the enemy
and the bombing of enemy depots near
| the western front before and during in
fantry attacks have also helped to bet
ter the standing Of the bombarding
airmen. 1t is now recognized from a
military standpoint that one good
! bombing pilot can destroy more air
planes than a pursuit pilot can. Con-
sequently bombing has become the pre-
Iferred aviation service. Chasing. how
| ever, will always attract many of the
most skillful airmen. who thrill at the
thought of knightly battles at a speed
| of 40 miles an hour 10000 feet above
the earth. There will never be any
lack Of applicants for this honored
service.
Bombing does not usually kill and
inever makes prisoners Of the enemy
airmen, as in the case Of successful
pursuits, because the airp1anes are on
the ground and generally in hangars
when they are attacked. The pilots
then are probably some distance away
but the mechanics and guards are like
| ly to suffer from the bombardment, so
that the personnel losses inflicted on
the enemy may approximate the i'm
portance of the loss inflicted by sue
cessful battle in the clouds.

healthy animals that will mature quick

Guinea pigs require about the same
kind OF accommodations as rabbits.
Two general methods of managing
them have been advocated-courts and
houses. Also they require about the

The rearing of guinea pigs requires
no extraordinary knowledge and no
great outlay of capital; little space is
needed to accommodate the animals,
which are hardy and easily managed.
They make interesting pets and salts
factory food animals. The constantly
increasing demand for them in scien-

POULTRY
FATS
ROOFS FOR POULTRY HOUSES
Several Kinds of Material Can Be

There are several kinds of material
that can be used in making a roof for
the poultry house, but It should always
be kept in mind that the roof should
be water tight If it is allowed to
leak. the interior Of the house will
get damp, the birds will become I'M
healthy, lose vigor and be more suscep-
tible to fatal diseases. Shingle roofs
should have a one-third pitch. while
those covered with paper or metal may
have a less pitch or be almost fiat.
However, the greater the slope the
longer the life Of the roof.
Specially prepared paper or shingles
laid on sheathing may be used for
covering the roof. Roofing papers are
used very extensively for poultry
houses at the present time and In
many places are replacing shingles. As
rule the former are cheaper and cas-
Ter to lay, while they can be laid on
much f1atter roof than the latter. One

NOW FREE OF TUBERCULOSIS
Pure-5red Herds That Have Success
fully Passed Annual Tests Are
Placed on Accredited List.

prepared by the United States Depart-
ment Of AgTicuIture)
One hundred and seventy-one herds
representing $3.50 cattle, were quail
fed June 1 for the accredited list OF
pure-bred herds Of cattle free from tn
berculosis which the department OF az
riculture is developing to insure dis
ease-free sources Of pure-bred stocks.
In order to have his herd accredited
the owner must comply with uniform
rules approved by the United States
department OF agriculture and adopted
by nearly all Of the states, which re
quire that every animal pass at least
two successful annual tuberculin tests.
In addition TO the number OF herds
mentioned, more than 900 others have
passed one successful test In prepara-
ton for aecrediting. One Of the many
advantages OF having accredited herds,
which is proving popular with breed
ers. is that the owner may make inter
state shipments accompanied by 8 Ger
dhcate at any time within one year
without subjecting the animals to fur
ther tuberculin tests.

cottOnseed hulls proved to be a good
fattening ration for calves for a short
feeding period.
When fed In conjunction with cot
tonseed meal, corn silage of rather
poor quality produced the same daily
gains on calves as did cottonseed bulls
and cheapened the cost of the daily
gains.
The substitution Of two-thirds Of the
cottOnseed meal in a ration with corn
did not prove profitable when corn cost
20 cents bushel and cottonseed meal
$26 a ton.
In one test it was profitable to re-
place one-third of the cottonseed meal
with corn-and-cob meal, but In q sec
ond test nothing was gained by the in
PRODUCTION Of cOTn-and-cob meal. The
first year the calves which received
corn-and-cob meal made slightly larger
daily gains and sold for more than did
the calves which received eottonseed
meal as the sole concentrate. The sec
ond year the addition of corn to the
ration did not increase the size Of the
daily gains, nor did the calves which
received corn sell for any more per
pound than the other calves
In third test 80 high-grade Aber-
deen-Angus calves fed on a ration Of
about three pounds of cottonseed meal.
two pounds Of cowpea hay and as much
cottonseed hulls as they would eat
made daily gains at a cost Of $3.50 per
hundred pounds and returned q net
profit OF $3.50 each.
In q fourth experiment "a calves
which were fed for 112 DAYS in the dry
lot and then fed SO days on pasture
made good daily gains, but the profits
were not as large as they would have
been If the calves had been sold at the
end Of the winter. The gains made
during the summer were good and
were made cheapIy, but the price OF
calves was so much lower in the sum-
mer than at the close of winter that
the continued feeding into the summer
months was not profitable.

varies with different styles and grades
of manufacture. This paper generally
comes in rolls or squares which cover
100 square feet and contain directions
and materials for use in laying. Paper
may be used on roofs which have a
slope or rise of one or more inches to
the foot. Sheathing for paper roofs
must be planed on one side and laid
tightly to present a smooth surface for
the roofing paper, while sheathing pa
per is often used between the sheathing
and roofing paper. Shingles may be
laid from four to five inches to the
weather on roofs which have one-third
or more pitch, which is a rise of 8 or
more inches TO the foot, or one-third of
the span of a gable roof Cedar and
cypress shingles are usually laid five
to six inches to the weather on walls
or on roofs with one-third pitch, but

Animals as Harvest Hands.


Live stock, properly managed. viii
help the overworked farmer to harvest
some of his crops proftably, thus saw
ing man labor during the busy season.
In return, the care of the young stock
furnishes profitable employment for
the farmer and his hired help, if he
has any, during the winter and early
spring, when work is slack This not
only saves much man labor during the
busy season, but equalizes the labor
throughout the different seasons.
When sufficient farm labor is not
available to harvest all the crops, live
stock offer a profitable method of tax
ing care Of the surplus hay and grain
by pasturing them. The farm animals
not only harvest them cheaply, but
while doing so make profitable gains
and help TO maintain soil fertility. In
sread Of cutting the entire alfalfa, cio-
yer or other hay crop, pasturing some
of it saves much labor.
The cash returns from the hay har-
vested by the live stock are usually
fully equal to those received when the
hay is harvested by hand labor.
Waste or poor rye, wheat, oats and
barley may be hogged down to excel
lent advantage. Corn and mature soy
beans are harvested successfully by
hogs and sheep, and to some extent by
cattle It is usually customary to fence
OF part Of a cornheld by s movable
fence, and after one strip is cleaned I'D
to iDclose another. Plenty OF water
and a little salt are necessary for the
greatest Improvement OF live stock.
Soy beans planted with the corn and
rape sown at the last cultivation add
TO the feeding value Of the corn.

BREEDING GUINEA PIGS

Guinea pigs breed at a very
early age, but their capacity for
reproduction has been greatly
exaggerated and a mistaken no
ton has become fixed in the
minds of many people.
Ordinarily five filters may be
expected in a year, averaging
about three young each. The
first litter produced by a female
usually consists of but one or
two. Subsequent ones are COM
monty larger, but they rarely
number more than five or six. a
female in her breeding prime
may be expected to raise about
II to 10 young each year.
