q 1.2 Cattle, All Pursbred

A Connecticut livestock owner.
who recently enrolled in the Better
Sires-Better Stock" movement
reported 231-2 cattle kept for
breeding, Twenty-three of the an
fmals are purebred cows: the remain
der represents a half interest in a
purebred bull. In addition, the stock
of the farm includes a purebred stall
lion and 147 standardized fowls.
Although this livestock owner il
the first to report joint ownership
in purebred sires on a fractional
basis. there is noticeable tendency
among progressive breeders to ac-
quire one-half. one-third. one.
fourth. or other interest in pure.
bred males.
The United States Department of
Agriculture is placing emphasis on
the use rather than the actual
ownership of purebred sires. Part
ownership in males Of high QUALITY
is considered much more desirable
than entire ownership of inferior
sires. In fact, the Better Sires-
Better Stock" movement is aimed
at the retirement from service Of
scrub and grade sires and likewise
inferior purebreds.

ToWED BY WHALE
mercy Me, See My Little Vessel Co.
Said Jordan.
(Rockland Courier-Gazette)

(Rockland Courier-Gazette)
Having the novel experience Of be-
ing towed by a whale, is that OF Capt
George Jordan of Camden. Capt.
Jordan was born in Orland 50 years
ago and has followed the sea since
early boyhood. At the age Of II he
went to the Grand Banks with Capt.
David Brown. in the schooner Sarah
Hill, after which he was the master Of
the schooners Marblehead, John G..
Cowell, Carrie Pitman. Caroline.
Molly Porter, Fling and General
Grant Capt. Jordan was always
successful with his fishing trips.
1t was while on the Marbiehead
that Capt. Jordan had an experience
with a whale. The whale became en-
tangled in the anchor chain. and the
Captain thought the tide was running
fast. but the whale showed up, caught
in the chain. and Capt. Jordan said.
Mercy me. boys. see my little vessel
go" The whale towed the vessel a
distance of about five miles. The crew
tried to hoist him in, but were unable
to do so and during the night the
whale was drowned and broke loose.
and the captain was able to get back
to the feet after loosing his anchors.
At one time while Capt. Jordan was
in South Boston harbor and the har-
Dor was full of yachts, he notified
them to move. as he wanted to sail.
and as they did not move when he
was ready to sail. he started out.
Some yachts lost their booms and
others their bowsprits and others
their masts. He had a lot of extra
rigging on board when he got through
the Heet. but this only goes to show
that when Capt. Jordan made up his
mind to SAN it took more than a few
small crafts to stop him. Very few
men in Camden can repeate as much
of the Bible and he is a very inter
esting man to talk to.

T. NJ. T. As An Industrial Explosive

With the cessation of hoStilitieS the
Government found itself in possession
of a large supply of the high explo-
sive known as IT. y. t. which has
been deemed unsafe for storage
against a possible future emergency.
With the object of making possible
the use of this surplus explosive for
industrial purposes the United States
Department of Agriculture reports
results OF Investigations made by the
Bureau Of Mines and the College Of
Agriculture of Wisconsin.
Briefly stated, these investigations
show:
That T. y. T. can, be safely cart
ridged and handled for land clearing.
and that its desirability will depend
on the cost to the user.
Complete defamation was best Sc
cured by use of the No. exploder.
No. 6 being the size usually recon-
mended for dynamite applied to like
conditions.
Moisture encountered in ordinary
land-clearing operations does not
affect this explosive: neither do ordi-
nary variations of temperature
That the health Of the workers is
not affected by the explosive gases
when the work is not confined to
limited space.
That the amount of T. n. T. re-
CURED is about IS per cent of the
amount of 30 per cent ammonia dy-
Mantle
On account of the smaller quanti-
ties used. definite regulation of
charges should be made. There may
be considerable danger if the proper
charges are much increased.
1t seems likely that the surplus If
high explosive manufactured to fill
bombs and shells for the Army in
France may be put to a valuable
peace-time use. 1t is not con-
templated that T. N T. will be manu-
featured expressly for industrial use
and the recommendations cover onlS
the unused explosive left from the
military supplies during the recent
war.
