CHANGING COWS TO PASTUK.::
Caution Must Be Observed to Avoic
Drop In Flow Of Milk-Re-
duce Grain Gradually.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Farmers welcome the season wheh
dairy cattle can be turned on pasture
as they feel that the heavy expense
of winter feeding Is over, and expect
that during the late spring and enriy
summer months the cows will reach
their maximum flow of milk at a
certain limits, but caution must De
observed in making the change from
dry feed to pasture conditions. Inc
change should not be made too early
in the spring, nor too abruptly, espe
cially in the case of cows that are
producing a relatively high now oi
mix and that have been fed liberaliy
during the winter. Unless the change
iJ made gradually there will be de
clded drop in the fiow'of milk.
Pasture grasses in the early spring
are immature and contain hign per
centage of water and but a sinaii
amount of dry matter. This makes
physically Impossible for cows pro-
ducing n large amount of milk 10 ea'
enough of such grass to supply the
necessary amount Of nutrients. Inc
cows should be allowed on pasture
only few hours day and the grain
ration should be reduced gradually
After the change has been made cows
which are producing only an average
amount of milk and butterfat VIII
find sufficient supply of feed ON gooo
pasture. High producers, however
will require some grain throughout the
season. While direct results may not
show Immediately 1t is the general
consensus of opinion that cows are
brought to better body condition and
are likely to maintain their flow OF
milk longer during the balance OF the
lactation period If they receive some
grain. Three to five pounds daily OF
grain, such as u mixture of oats, bran,
and corn or barley. may be used to

WATER IGN|TES
BOSTON FIRE HOSE
Series of Tests to Determine
Cause Are to Be Con-
Quoted.
COTTON COATING
ONLY TAKES FIRE

Thought Excessive Friction Between
Two Cotton Jackets May Be Cause -
Rubber Lining of Hose Is Not At
fected.
BOSTON, Dec. $50 much public
interest has been aroused by the phe-
nomenon developed in tests of fire hose
here when flames broke through cotton
coating of the hose through which water
was being forced at high pressure, that
the fire commissioner, John r. Murphy,
has been receiving requests for infor-
nation from all over the country.
Ignition of a fire hose while water
was being pumped through it though no
fire was near, is something new to those
who consider the fre-fghting business as
a science. To determine the cause of
this peculiar incident and ascertain how
to avoid it, the Boston fire department
will undertake a series of tests and ex-
perimentS.
Professor Augustus II. Gill, of the
Massachusetts, Institute of Technology
at the request of Commissioners Murphy
examined the hose burned and, without
his belief that the hose was ignited from
excessive friction caused by vibration
between two cotton jackets. The hose
was of the new standard 212 inch rub
Der lined double cotton Jacket type,
made according to the specifications of
the Boston fire department, which con-
form with those of the National Board
of Fire underwriters.
\ 150-gallOn pumping engine was be-
ing tested under the direction of engi-
neers of the National Board of Fire
underwriters and officials of the Boston
fire department. For four hours the en-
CINE had drawn water from the Charles
,Trvrp Iau5r uvhn~ Fho n~ln- En- tho hsrh
pressure test was given.
Two lines of hose were used, one from
each side of the engine and each about
300 feet long. Morse gates were placed
between the first and second length. of
each line and the gates were choked
down to about one-third capacity. the
gates on the engine outlets being SINH
larly reduced.
About 10 minutes after the engine was
started with a pump pressure of $50
pounds, smoke came from the hose about
a foot from the coupling at the engine
connection. Investigation showed that
the hose was very hot and in q moment
flame burst through the outer covering.
Within a minute the same thing hap
pened to the hose on the other side of the
engine. 1t was decided by the chiefs and
experts that the choking down of the
gates had resulted in a tremendous
amount Of water being forced through d
small opening. The water in passing
through the engine gates instead of fill
ing the hose at the coupling was forced
in at an angle, striking one side of the
hose with a fine sharp point, with sufi-
cient force to generate heat.
This point of water, together with the
friction caused by the two cotton jackets
rubbing against each other apparently
caused the flame.
The fire did not injure the rubber lin
ing, which was not even charred, the
flames working entirely in the cotton
mixture. This was scorched for several
inches around the burned hole.
