New London, Conn. —Tho collision which caused tho merchantman Deutschland to abandon her return voyage to Germany almost at Its out sot when a tonvoylog tug, the T. A. Scott, Jr., was sunk with a crew of five men, was the subject of Federal Investigation. Tho United States in spectors of steam vobscls heard through witnesses of tho conditions un der which the submarine, slipping out of tho harbor In the darkness so that she might submerge In neutral waters before da)break, ran down the tug which was acting as l.or protector, off Itace Hock, Just outside this port. The testimony came from Captain I'aul Keonig of the Deutschland; from F. W. Krapohl, his chief officer, and from Huns Kleese, his chlo.' engineer. It was glvm In secret, but It became known through statements outside the chamber that tho collision wan an ac cident. Survlvots who would discuss tho matter were agreed I at It was duo to a combination of swift currents, which carried tho tuff off its course and across tho bow of the submarine and the darkness which was to ho tho Dcutschland's medium of safety, but which lustoad prevented ready obser vation of tho danger ahead.

More than 10.000 strong, they march ed froth the Capitol to the White House to the music of many bands and waving red lights while varied-colored bombs burst overhead.

The celebration was participated In by both men and women members of Democratic organizations, Govern ment clerks, suffragists, representa tives of union labor and citizens gen erally.

A currycomb, a broomcorn brush, a Bcruper, u stiff brush and a number of rugs of the right slices should be u part of the grooming equipment of ev ery stnlile, no mutter whether the Htiible Is located on a farm or at the edge of a racetrack. In most Instances the currycomb should be used only to lightly raise and loosen the sweat and scurf over the fleshy portions of the horse's body, the main reliance being placed upon the brush. The brush Is the best Implement for cleaning the body, us It does the work well and easily, and does not Irritate the horse. I find that the principal use for the currycomb In cleaning most horses Is in using it to scrape the dirt Well-Groomed Farm Hor6e. and loose hsilr out of the brush, says a writer In nn exchange. Because of Its steel teeth nritl general harshness and stiffness, the currycomb should never be used about the limbs. There are some people who can use It on the legs and about the bony places of the horse's anatomy without Irritating the unlnial past all endurance. They are softer-handed than most of us. The broomcorn brush takes the place of the currycomb lu cleaning the horse's legs. In using, the currycomb It should be laid flat uud carried lightly In a succession of curved strokes, un til all the dust and scurf thut muy bo In the horse's coat has been loosened. Then take the brush and with It thor oughly cleanse the lialr and tho skin. After using tho brush take a damp ened cloth Mid go over the surface, fol lowing this by rubbing with a dry cloth. , In cleaning and grooming the head and the legs use tho stiff broomcorn brush, clean with the hairbrush, and finish the operation with the dampened uml dry cloths. ALFALFA PASTURE FOR HOGS Care Should Be Exercised That It Is Not Pastured Too Closely Cut j Occasionally. For "growing out" little pigs und carrying over dry sows n good pasture Is n valuable asset to the hog raiser. Alfalfa makes the best pasture for luigs. In pasturing ulfnlfa, cure should bo taken that It Is not pastured too heavily. If tills U done, the alfulfu will be badly killed out lu two or three years and It will be necessary to reseed. Pasturing should never be carried on so heavily but thut oue hnlf ton of hay per acre can be cut three times a season. The occasloual cutting of the alfalfa Induces new shoots to grow, and hence greatly In proves the pusture for the pigs. HANDLING ALFALFA FOR HAY Plsnt Shoultf Be Allowed to 6tand Un til Well In Bloom—Sprinkle With Salt and Lime. To make tho best horse hay, alfalfa should be allowed to stand until well In bloom, nccordlng to the Nebraska College of Agriculture. In curing horse hay. It Is well to lu'vp In mind that the dust which Is present In so much alfalfa is largely a result of tho pres ence of foreign moisture, such as ruin or dew, at making time, rather than the presence of a little moisture within' the plant. If alfalfa hay Is stored in the burn for horses, It Is -well, while mowing It away, to sprinkle It gener ously with a mixture of equal purts of salt and air-slaked lime. MAKING SUCCESS WITH HOGS Breed and Feed Well and Give Good Cars—Don't Allow Litters to Lose Growth. 1. Select large, roomy, stretchy dams. 2. Breed to boars whose ancestry shows tendency to growthlness. S. Bee that sow Is In prime condition every day she curries the litter. 4. IKm't allow the litters to' lose an hour's grow Ih from lack of proper nour ishment or exposure after farrowing. 5. L'se every precaution at weaning tliue to see that growth Is malntulned. ft. Bone-making feed must predomi nate In first six months of pig's life. 7. Maintain hninnced ration Inter on and be sure the pigs grow every day. NORTH CAROLINA BRIEFS..

The ends of the middle tier of joists are lapped and spiked against the Inside ends of the two outer tiers of Joists so that each set of joists forma a continuous tie from one side wall to the other, to take up the outward thrust of the Poof. The Joists are supported under the lapped ends on sets of girders built up out of four thicknesses of joists, running continuously from one end of barn to the other with as few lengths as possible, and all end Joists broken so that there will not be nuye than one-end Joint at any one place along the length of the girder. These floor beams are supported by posts or preferably Iron columns, wbteli are so spaced that they will Intersect with the line of stanchions and the parti tions between the stalls, and rest on concrete piers built below the concrete floor. The roof construction Is a special feature of the burn. In framing the roof one set of rafters Is carefully laid out on the haymow floor, nnd af -1 ter the exact length of each piece Is computed, these are used as patterns und the required number of pieces cut from this one set of patterns. When all rafters, braces, ties and collar I beams haVe been cut, each set of raft ers, braces, etc., is spiked together so as to forTn a complete arch rib which will reach from the pla.te of one side Wall to that of the other. After all of the arches are completed the end arch Is hoisted up to a verti cal line, perfectly plumbed, well spiked Into place, and well braced. A block and rope are hooked to the collar beam of the arch that Is In place. With tills tackle the next arch is hoisted, plumbed and nailed in place. This method is continued until all are In place. !

Cigar Ashes Valuable. A curious possible source of value In unconsidered waste Is revealed by a British chemist's thought tliut tobacco ash contains 20 per cent of potash. He estimates that the ash of a cigar con tains 0.5 grains of potash; that of a cigarette, 1.T5 grains; and that of an ordinary pipe of tobacco, 1.0 grains. The ash of the tobacco consumed In the United Kingdom In the year end ing March 81, 1914, contained about 2,072 tons of potash, worth more than $250,000 at the prices prevailing before the war.

A large Increase In visitors to the Hawaiian Islands this year has brought prominently to the front the Vital question of good roads. The sec ond city of the territory, Hilo, has led the way, and has already constructed handsome concrete boulevards leading from the wharves throughout the busi ness section.
