REDUCE MILK FLOW or cows
Serious Injury May Be AvoideG by
Drying Up Animal Some T;rae
Before Calving.

Many good dairy COW is seriously
injured through poor handling before
calving. The best mixers have long
period of milking If not discouraged
they will give milk in worthwhile
quantities right up to calving. All too
often they are encouraged, rather than
having anything done toward reducing
the flow. The consequence is not only
a stunted calf, but a freshened COW
that will never give more than three
fourths the milk she would were she
given a six weeks rest. 1t is an easy
matter to dry up a COW. Simply skip
a milking. Milk again. then skip two
milkings. Milk again. and then forget
about her. At the same time, omit all
grain from the ration for few days.
There is seldom any further trouble.

The government paid 100000 to tow

to pay 100000 to tow them out and
sink them rather than continue this
expense for another six months"
Well, the United States shipping
board finally agreed to sell 205 of its
wooden vessels to the Ship COnstruc-
ton and Trading corporation of New
York, for $2,100 each, or total of
$4,000, which is less than the esti-
mated average cost of one of the
ships.
The board, as will be noted, held
out 20 ships. 1t conditionally reserved
from the sale so vessels FOR use as
pontoons to be used in building the
proposed new bridge across the Hud-
son river.

bridge company wanted them it could

would go to the bidder for the fleet.
to which the 205 vessels are TO be
sold. The bidder for the whole fleet
ships. TO be sold ut higher prices.
The Scientific American has pub
ished an Illustrated article on this
proposed pontoon bridge which con-
,alnS the following interesting infor-
nation:
1t is now proposed TO utilize the
pontoon method of bridge building on
a very extensive scale by a crossing
of the Hudson river from Yonkers TO
Alpine. The width from shore to shore
is $500 feet, and the length of the
pQntoon bridge between the trestle APP
proaches viii be about 1880 feet. Pro-
vision will be made for the passage of
Hudson river steamers by building
some form of ,drawbridge, probably of
the lift type, across the main channel
of the river. There will be enough
clearance between the water and the
under side of the bridge to permit of
the passage of river tows and the
smaller craft, without opening the
drawspadl.
The proposal to build a pontoon
bridge at this point came first from
Major w A. WEIGH, engineer of the
Palisades Interstate park commission.
At present, because of the utterly in
adequate facilities for getting across
the river, the park is comparatively
inaccessible to millions of New York
city people. The matter was suggest
ed TO the major by the application of
the shipping board for anchorage priv
ileges, for idle wooden ships, in the
Hudson river waters adjacent to the
park. Major WEIGH suggested the use
of the ships for pontoon bridge to
Mr.. Otis H. Cutler. who is chairman of
the Hudson River Bridge corporation,
and he submitted the idea to Mr. Gus.
tav Lindenthai, the designer of the
Hudson river bridge. The undertak-
ing was found TO be entirely practical |:
in fact, AIR. Lindenthal had proposed
the construction of a pontoon bridge
across the Delaware at Philadelphia to
assist the movement OF military sup
plies during the war. This bridge
would have been built but for the in
