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. CaptiUn

"It's a torrlblo thing to loso those

The Doutschland's return will be
delayed only a few days by tho dam
ages which she sustained and not at
all by the fact that Inquiry is being

ed that three plates had been stovo-ln
to a degree described by soma "as a

COMB AND BRUSH FOR HORSE
Equipment Needed in Every Stable
Whether on Racetrack or Farm—
Use for Currycomb.
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.

The largest factor In the care of the
stock Is the stabling. .Good light,
ventilation and sanitary equipment
mean more to the health and comfort
of the stock, nnd to the sanitation and
quality of the output, than any other
factors. A large percentage of barns
are so dark and damp as to be veri

germs nnd vermin." Light is the great
est foe to germ life.
The Illustrations shown here give

vorite type of modern fnrin burn.
There are ten windows to light the
cow stable and five windows for the
horse stable. Special emphasis has
been put upon providing a little baru

that will be conducive to the health

necessary steps and operations on the
part of the owner. The investigation
of many architects seems to make it
clear that many barns In the country
could luive been greatly Improved and

| If they had been studiously planned
to meet the farmer's needs, skillfully
designed, and carefully constructed.

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

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

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

computed, these are used as patterns

from this one set of patterns. When
all rafters, braces, ties and collar

as to forTn a complete arch rib which
will reach from the pla.te of one side

After all of the arches are completed
the end arch Is hoisted up to a verti

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

Cigar Ashes Valuable.
A curious possible source of value In

estimates that the ash of a cigar con

cigarette, 1.T5 grains; and that of an
ordinary pipe of tobacco, 1.0 grains.
The ash of the tobacco consumed In

Offered to -Motorists.
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. The outlying districts,
under the management of a progres
sive local government, have put their
highways In thorough order, and auto
mobiles may now enjoy on the big
Island, some hundreds of miles of per

most magnificent scenery. With a
choice of every variety of climate,
from the fully tropical to the eternal
snows of the high mountains, the
island of Hawaii offers a motoring
paradise without a peer In the world.

"Get Out of the Mud" Is the slogan
used In West Virginia In a campaign
In behalf of better roads. Several
counties have recently voted fnvorably
on bond Issues for road Improvements,
and these words played an Important
part In the activities of good-roads
advocates preceding the elections. The
slogan was employed as the refrain to
a song in one election. Good roads

ENHANCED VALUE OF A FARM
It Would Aid Greatly If Roads Were
Permanently Good So Bigger Loads
May Be Hauled.
Do you know how much the value
of your farm would be enhanced If
your roads were permanently good so
you could haul two loads one trip In
stead of one load In two trips?
Begin the improvement by putting
the roads adjacent to your own ranch
In good condition, then offer your serv
ices to help in the improvement of
other sections of the road.
