The split between the president and

consideration Of very important qnes-

United States. And the argument
should be along those lines.

BIG LEAK FROM LITTLE HOLE
Hundreth Of an Inch Let's $50 Worth
of Coal Out Of Steam Pipe in Year.

The bigness of little things; the ra
pidity with which small leaks grow into
floods is forcefully demonstrated in a
bulletin recently issued by the depart
ment of agriculture for the purpose of
teaching dairymen and creamery oper-
ators how to increase profits by reduc-s
ing waste. One of the illustrations of
needless loss is the leakage of fuel
through steam pipes
A single leak in itself, says the bull
letin, does not appear to be serious,
but number Of leaks around valve
stems, blow-of cocks, pipe flanges and
unions, safety valves, aud at other
points throughout the system will re-
duce the available horsepower of the
boiler very greatly and indirectly in
crease the quantity of fuel burned. For
instance, If the sum of the openings
through which steam escapes TO the at
mosphere should equal only one hun
dredth of square inch and the steam
pressure in the piping is rs pounds, the
amount of steam that will escape in
one hour will be approximately 46
pounds, or one and three-tenths horse
power. Should these leaks continue to
exist and the plant be operated 10
hours day for $40 days in the year
the annual loss in steam would be 142,.
600 pounds. This would require the
burning of 81 ,o83 pounds or l0.6 tons
l.of average coal to produce the amount
of steam mentioned, If we assume q
boiler and furnace efficiency of so pei
lcent, which is greater than is found IN
most creameries and milk plants. II
the coal costs So ton the money loss
will amount to $50 annually, to say
nothing of the inconveniences, insight
lily appearance, and deterioration OF
valves and fittings due to the escaping
steam.
Another illustration is found in unin
sulated steam pipes. Few ereamerymer
insulate their steam piping. They ar,
either not aware or are negligent of the
serious loss in heat that goes on con
tinuously when pipes or apparatus car
rying steam are left bare. 4 squar,
| foot of bare piping inside a building
will radiate about 3 British therma
units per hour for each degree differ
ence in temperature between the insid,
and outside of pipe. Suppose there i
an equivalent of fifty square feet o
steam piping in the average creamer,
and the steam pressure, carried in thi
Tipping is seventy pounds, and the sav
erage room temperature is seventy de
grees Fahrenheit. The temperature o
the steam inside the pipe when ut pres
lsure Of seventy pounds gauge is 81
degrees Fahrenheit; then the loss pc
hour is $4,000 British thermal units |
the plant is operated eight hours Id.
for 400 days in a year the loss will b
Ss,560,000 British thermal flIhnits. Wit
! boiler and furnace efficiency of S
q per cent and coal containing 1850
e British thermal units per pound
would require the burning of 400
pounds, or about seven short ton;
r which at SIS ton would amount I
d thirty-tve dollars annually. Good in
: sulation will reduce this loss about
e per cent, and as the pipes may be insu
e ated for Twenty-Five dollars or less th
: insulation would more than pay for il
self the first year.

A WILDCAT MASCOT.
Men of the Division of that Name Snug
gle Animal on Board. I'd

One day a lieutenant was notified,
that man belonging TO Southern in
fantry, regiment that had just been load
ed on transport required medical atten-
ton. With physician he went aboard
the vessel and happened to be present
when the injured soldier was examined.
Ills back was very sore and raw. while
IN many places it had long marks that
made it look as If a sharp pointed garden
rake had been pulled over it.
l.. Funny" the physician muttered as
ne dressed the mans injuries. Then he
/ asked the soldier how he hurt himself
| Almost any one would have taken the
soldiers explanation of his injuries for
their face value, but the lieutenant had
| dreamed mascots hunted mascots and
anticipated day after day what new
/ Kind OF a mascot he would meet next.
/ As he watched the physicians fingers
as he dressed the long ugly wounds he
| could only think of one thing-they
looked like the scratches of some animal.
Then it came to him. The division
was from Tennessee and North Carolina
and known as "The Wildcat Division."
How you'd get that wildcat on board ?''
:, the lieutenant asked.
The physician looked up from his work
and the soldiers face took on q crimson
hue. Neither answered for minute and
the lieutenant spoke again.
! Il want TO know how YOU got that
wildcat on board and where the thing is
hidden
Then the soldier had to tell and he con-
fessed that he had carried the mascot on
the vessel by putting ii in one of the
bags soldiers use as packs He told how
he had it on his back and how the wild
cat used its claws while being carried
up the gangplank.
i Il hated to ask for a Doctor" the lad
! said, ..but-ms back hurt, and now |
! suppose the fellows viii say I'm a quit.
ter 4 =
Don't worry about that, my boy" tbs
physician interrupted IL only wish thai
/ could be- around to see how men who
carry wildcats around for pet will treat

, them"
!. So the wildcat did not 90 to France
:. and instead of these soldiers turning Their

secretly planned, it was sent to ioir

Should the lieutenant and sergeant ever

have to be devoted to bulldogs. For mo-
all of the regiments had wild animals
