Armor on Vurhlii.
llie thickness of armor on modern
warships is truly astonishing. The able
armor of a first-class battleship usually
varies from sixteen and one-half Inches
thick at the top of the jielt to nine
nnd one-half Inches at the bottom. Th
gun turrets are often protected by ar
mor from fifteen inches to seventeen
Inches thick.
Unparalleled.
There had been a fire in the apartment
building, with heavy loss of property and
many narrow escapes.
"Were there any acts of conspicuous
heroism?" queried the reporters.
"Yes," said one of the victims. "With
a self-abnegation never before witnessed
in a case of this kind, sir, we all turned
in and helped to carry out the piano that
was on the second floor."
Ilutl) Milk (uni,
"Rusty cans nnd their effect upon
milk," Is the title of a very valuable
bulletin of the University of Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Station. Ex
pertinents indicate that milk hauled In
the poorly tinned or rusted cans Is ma
terially Injured for cheese nuking, for
In addition to the retarding influence
of the Iron on the rennet nction and
the neutralization of the add by the
Iron, It also produces taints or off-flav
ors. The milk cans used to haul milk
to our creameries nnd cheese factories
are too often of a cheap grade, and
they are used too frequently after they
huve become tainted, nnd the tin be
conies cracked nnd checked so that the
Iron is exposed and rusts. In these ex
periments, milk was placed In rusty tin
cans and. allowed to stand for different
jierloda. while other samples of the
same milk were kept In glass beakers.
Every time that this experiment was
repeated, the milk kept In the rusty
cans gave evidence of a retarding influ
ence on the rennet as comiwred with
the milk kept In the glass beaker. Milk
which was allowed to stand in Iron
utensils for several hours had a pecu
liar bluish color, indicating the pres
ence of iron In the solution. It was
evident that the acid in the milk acted
upon the Iron and dissolved some of It.
The maximum quantity of Iron dis
solved In the milk ranged from 1 to
l',i pounds for every thousand pounds
of milk.
The bulletin urges that the maangers
of cheese factories and creameries see
that the operator is a reliable man,
who will not only practice cleanliness,
but will insist that the factory uten
sils and these of the patrons are In
first-class condition. Me advocates the
use of only such cans in which heavy
steel is used that have been well tin
ned, similar to those used in Europe.
Experience has proven that the cans
of the best quality, even though they
are quite expensive, nre the most eco
nomical In the long run.

Study uf Wind lireuka.
An effort to determine the value ot
windbreaks on farms is being made by
the Forest Service of the United States
Department of Agriculture. At pres
ent windbreaks are planted haphazard
nnd ninny do not lelleve In them, so It
Is time we had some definite Informa
tion on the subject. If there Is a par
ticular kind of tree that makes a bet
ter protection to crops without doing
any harm we should know it. The
Forest Service projioscs to find out
just how much, If any, and when wind
breaks Increase crop yields. Instru
ments will be used to nieashre heat and
cold, moisture and dryness, both above
and below ground; to register the force
of the wind near the windbreaks and
some distance away; to measure light
Intensity and take note of the effects of
shade; to register frosts at different
distances from the trees and to keep
account of the effect of windbreaks on
the snow which covers the ground to
leeward In winter. Many other meas
urements and tests will be made and
elaborate ;data will be collected by ex
perts who will have charge of the In
vestigation. Corn will be the first crop
studied liehlnd windbreaks. Corn is a
particularly good crop to experiment
with because it' Is easily injured by
hot, dry winds, will not stand shading
and Is very sensitive to frosts.
If it is found, as is generally sup
posed, that windbreaks are a decided
advantage to crop yields, It will be an
easy matter for the farmer to plant
trees In his fence rows or along the
sides of bis fields toward the prevail
ing winds and thus protect his crops as
well as produce a valuable crop of tim
ber. In view of the fact that our tim
ber supply is rapidly waning, it stands
every tanner In hand to plant some
trees and to maintain the wood lots
upon his farm, so if windbreaks can Pe
used to advantage, he cm easily make
the trees hi? plants serv a double pur
pose. The results of the investigation
will be awaited with interest. Fann

Farm Fowl.
Fowls on the farm should in the very
nature of things lie the most profitable
of all fowls. They cost little to feed
and the space they range over costs no
more on account of the presence of the
fowls. Most of them have free range
and forage for their food, this is profit
able for the owner and enjoyable to the
fowls.
Most farm flocks nre too small. They
might easily be increased In size with
little effort nnd small exjK'nditure. It
has been said that a fowl will pay n
dollar a year clear profit under such
conditions as prevnil on the average
farm if they nre rightly housed nnu
cared for. This is surely large enough
a profit to be Interesting to any farmer
Usually the farm fowls do not get cred
it for all they really do. for the farmf i
seldom figures in' the eggs nnd oth'n
poultry products used by his own lam
ily. which make quite an item in th.
course of a yeirr.
Not only the quantity should be In
creased, but also the quality. There nrf
vastly greater possibilities for profit ii;
pure-bred fowls .than in scrubs. They
look better, weigh and lay better, and
really are better in every way. Agri

Poultry I tenia. j
Look for lice If the poultry refuse to
go into the roosting house at night.
Lice are the cause of death of more
half-grown turkeys than rrom any oth
er cause.
Foul yards nre great sources of dis
ease. Fowl diseases nre also caused
by foul coops and foul drinking vessels.
Make the entrance to the nests from
the back to make them dark, and make
hem big enough so the hens can get In
and out without breaking the eggs.
Almost any breed of fowls niav lm
'..ept within bounds if rightly treated,
even though It is much easier to con
tine large breeds than smaller ones.
No one wants eggs that have been
washed ; they don't look right. To get
a good price for eggs they must Ie
naturally clean as well as fresh.
If you Intend making a success hi
the jHiultry business you must put your
w hole heart Into the work and become
an enthusiast. It requires persever
ance and determination to bring suc
cess. Overcrowding or confinement in un-
healthful quarters causes diseases
among xultry. This, however. Is not
excusable on the farm. There Is plen
