Coal is decidedly improved by a
repose of many years under sea, for
marine salts enter its porous exterior
and increase its power of combustion
for both domestic and industrial
uses.
Pig iron has been salvaged after a
stay of 100 years in the farthest
depths. Rails are brought up in good
condition also. Copper bars, brass
and all sorts of machinery are recov-
cred in good condition, for although
every metal has different life, the
sediment in the water forms a coating
over the materials and preserves
them. If copper and steel are near
each other in cargo, the copper viii

is the electrolytic action.
The scrap iron reclaimed in this
way is sorted out, some going to roll

increasing demand for iron. In the
English channel reposes a vast guam
tity of iron and steel, owing to the
many ships which were sunk during
the war.

SORGHUMS ARE GOOD
CROPS FOR SILAGE.
Urged That They Be Grown More
Extensively for Feed.
Plants Need Less Moisture Than
Corn nd In Many. Sections Will
Produce Larger Yield of For
age-DesIrabIe Variety.

| prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Because sorghums are good crops to
grow for silage in regions of light rain
fall, the United States department Of
agriculture is urging that they be
grown more extensively In those Sec
tions to insure ample feed for stock.
Sorghums need less moisture than
corn and in many sections will pro-
duce q larger yield Of forage per acre.
When properly made into silage they
supply succulent feed which has a
high feeding value Either the saccha-
rine (sweet) or the nonsaccharine
(nonsweet) varieties are used. OF
the former the orange and amber va
rieties are the most desirable vari-
eties and Of the latter kafir, milo, and
feterita are common varieties. Exper-
iments at the Kansas experiment sta
ton show that silage made from kafir
and sweet sorghum Is nearly equal in
value to corn silage for feeding cows
that produce milk. Since the differ
ence In the results was not great, 1t is
apparent that when the sorghums give
considerably larger yield per acre.
as Is the case In seasons of drought.
and In sections where there is limited
amount of rainfall, they are the more
profitable source of silage.
To obtain good quality of silage
from sorghum 1t Is very important that
they be cut at the proper stage Of ma
turity. This stage is reached when
the seed is mature. Testing the stage
of maturity of sorghum may be done
by twisting stalk in the hands and
noting the amount of sap 1t contains.
If 1t contains much sap, the crop is
too green to be made into silage, and
If put up at this stage sour silage is
sure to result, especially with the
sweet sorghum, which Is high in sugar
content. 1t is better to risk frost than
to put the sorghum into the silo be-
fore maturity. A crop that has not
been sliced before frost should be put
up Immediately after, and water should
be added to keep it from becoming
dry.

ture lightly on the skin. An appli-
cation of this ointment two or three
times a year will keep the fowls free
from lice. Where insect powder is
used, it should be applied three or four
times a year, or oftener if the fowls
become infested with lice. Provide
Nqall box in the house, partly filed
with dry road dust or fine dirt, in
which the hens may dust themselves,

American ingenuity Makes Prac-
ticabIe Reclamation of In
valuable Supplies.
WILL Be GREAT INDUSTRY
One of Greatest Coal Fields in World
Lies off Atlantic Coast-To Be
Brought Up by Subma-
rine Salvaging.

Boston.-One of the greatest coal
fields In the world hes off the Allan
tic coast from Norfolk, Va, to Bos-
ton. 1t is made up of cargoes of
sunken ships which lie on the floor
of the ocean, and soon will be brought
to the surface by means of great
after-war industry, known as the sub
marine salvaging of sunken. cargoes,
which will be the means of reclaim
ing millions of tons of coal, scrap iron
and other raw products long since
abandoned as lost.
The United States is taking the lead
of all nations in fostering this great
industry which grew out of the war,
when the efficiency of the submarine
asaa monster of frightfulness was
demonstrated. Peace will allow the
submarine to come into its own as q
great reclamation agency.
In Long Island sound there lie a
million tons of coal, of which, it is es-
timated by salvaging experts, at least
rs per cent is reclaimable at cost OF
about Is cents per ton. Reclaimed
coal sells at the market price of $40
or SO a ton.
By means of the salvaging subma-
rine it is possible to cover 20 square
miles of ocean bottom a day in search
ing for sunken hulks. Once a wreck
is located it will be simple mattel,
now shat the salvaging submarine is
as perfect as the torpedoing subna-
rine, to reclaim 800 tons an hour, and
TO locate half dozen ships in as
many hours.
Coal All Along Coast.
Along the sound from Bridgeport 10
Norfolk, Conn.,, 10000 tons of coal
were sunk last year alone. Similar
coal wealth awaits finder all along
the coast, for, according to marine
rulings, findings is keepings," and the
finder of the sunken cargo is the
owner.
The retaining of wealth given up
for lost when the boat which carried
it sank is to be one of the most FER
tile fields of production of the recon-
struction period. The perfection Of
the salvaging submarine makes pos
slble and practical an enterprise that
was beyond the scope of the most dar-
ing and doughty divers who sought to
ind sunken cargoes.
This is illustrated by a comparison
of the work of the old-time divers
with the mechanical work of the sal
vaging submarine. A diver named

and not at the banks.
1.-THE amount of export trade securi-
ties to be held by banks must necessar-
lily be limited to a minimum figure"
the board asserts.
Requirements of export financing
probably have been overestimated, the
board says, and adds that some part
of the export demand would disappear
probably when actual commercial Sc
curity would be required for protec-
tioh of shipments.
Recovery May Be Rapid.
SIT is quite probable" the board re-
marks, that, as European countries
succeed in re-establishing themselves,
their recovery toward a self-supporting
basis will be much more rapid than
has been expected. Far more time is
required for the expenditure of great
sums in the purchase of goods than is
generally comprehended. Expenditures
to be made for peace purposes or for
reconstruction will require care and
patience if they are to yield returns
under competitive business conditions.
They cannot be overhastily made, and
this will in itself ease the urgency Of
the pressure for export financing.
When all these elements have been
eliminated there will remain a very
great residue of urgent industrial re-
quirements abroad, and these 1t is eco
nomically and otherwise sound and de-
sirable to finance as promptly and eff
fectively as possible that foreign de-

Plan to Salvage
Sunken Cargoes

Hooper held the record for immersion
when he went down $50 feet in 1884
TO reclaim the gold which sank in the
Alphonso MI off the Canary islands.
Hooper made ID different t~iRs to
the wreck in as many Rssdths. So
arduous and fatiguing xxis the descent
that he was able to remain only 10
minutes each time before he signaled
for the return journey. 1t took him
four hours to make the descent, be-
cause of the necessity of accustoming
his body by degrees to the increased
he became paralyzed and was obliged
to come up leaving $150,000 i'll gold
behind him-which still awaits find
er. In all he brought up $350,000.
Today the salvaging submarine
goes down at the rate of foot a
second, and the diver can remain
month in it if he desires, working an
eight-hour day or however long his
day may be. The materials salvaged
are pumped to the surface by means
of 15-ineh pipe which will bring up
800 tons of coal or scrap iron in an
hour and place it on the deck of a
cargo carrying steamer nearby. An
entire cargo is thus salvaged in few
hours, and the work of locating and
salvaging another wreck Immediately
undertaken.
In the matter of economy of tiIne
and money, the saving of the strength
of the divers and in locating with
dexterity the whereabouts Of sunken
cargoes, the salvaging submarine com
pares with the old-time method of
picking up materials from the oceans
bed as does a high power motorcar
with a one-horSe shay.

BREED DAIRY HEIFER EARLY
Purpose Should Be to Get System of
Animal Into Milk Producing Habit
Before Maturity.

By r. W. CLARK, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins. Colo)
In order that heifers may be bred
young and begin milking at an early
date, they should be well developed
This is important. Cows that acquire
considerable age and become mature
before beginning to milk will not
usually make as deep and persistent
mixers as cows that are bred at a
comparatively early age and begin to
milk before they are mature. The
aim is to get the system of the ami
NAL into the habit of producing milk
at as early an age as possible. There
fore the heifer should be well fed and
cared for from birth.
If the heifer is we'll developed she
should be bred at Is to 18 months of
age, otherwise she should not be bred
until IS to 20 months of age.

vas cover, where 1t is protected from
the sun and rain. When the yield of
hay is light, it is good plan to NOW
1t in the morning. rake it in the after
noon and put it on the trucks in the
evening or next morning, after the dew
is off. When the yield is above ton
per acre, the hay should be moved in
the morning, tedded the next morning
and raked in the windows before
nooa. where it should be allowed to lie
for about two hours before put on the
trucks.
The use of the hay truck effects a
considerable saving in labor over the
common method of cooking and load
ing from the cock by hand. Indeed,
the hay truck method requires even
less labor than that of curing in the
cock and hauling to press, stack or
harm with the push rake.
