An account of how soldiers lire fed
at sea is given In the dally newspaper
published on a transport:
"Outside of providing 210,00U meal*
•t sea, the mess ofllcer of the ship has
very- little to do. Very little.
"H« Is only called upon to provide,
by Hie regulations, 180 different vari
eties of,food. That's all. Every try
to order 180 different things to eatt
Yet this Is the authentic list.
, "The food ueeded to feed several
thousand men at sea winges beyond
the glutton's dreams. You get tbo an
swer In the ship down below the water
line, wfiere 7,IKK) loaves of bread have
been baked In one day, and where you
■tumble over every variety, from 00,-
000 pounds of beef to 182,000 eggs, or
a compartment of brick Ice cream in
n fen-degree-ahovft-cero vault.
"Anil If this doesn't suit, yon can
bump along Into 49,.'124 pound* of po
tatoes, 7,100 pounds of ham and bacon,
7,800 pounds of butter, I), 200 pounds of

"If you can't get a meal out of this
you can fall back on 4,000 pounds of
sausage, 11,000 pounds of sauerkraut,
26,000 pounds of apples, IP,BOO pounds
of oranges, and 4,200 pounds of onions.
And this leaves out 1.000 pounds of
jam and 0,400 pounds of lima and navy

The original order that the approval
«f a regimental or higher commander
was necessary before packages might
lt« sent to members of the expedltlon

not sufllcient.
The question of the shipment of par
cels to France flrst came to the atten
tion of the war department when the
commanding general of the expedition
ary forces cabled that congestion of
•uch srtlclesjind reached such a point
that Frehch railroads were unable to
handle the load. A hoard appointed
by the secretary of war and the post
master general examined fi.ooo sacks
of parcel mail, and found that the
articles being sent not only, In the
main, were absolutely unnecessary, hut
undesirable. The Investigation showed
that the amount of such mall bad
reached a total of fiOO.OOO pounds a
week, and was steadily Increasing.
Relatives and friends, according to
a recent statement by the war depart

greater service to soldiers by sending
them money for the purchase of ar

Hpeclal precautions have been taken
to prevent the spread of disease by
flies. Instructions were given on the
disposal of materials that were likely
to become breeding spots. Arrange

from flies. With this end In view, all
buildings In which food Is prepared or
stored were screened. Entrances to
the buildings have been vestlbuled.
An average of 0.0(10 flytraps have been
placed In each camp. More than 22,-
700,000 square feet of screening has
been placed In all camps.
To osslst In meeting the present
shortage In unskilled labor restrictions
have been temporarily removed on the
Importation of Mexican labor to be

supplements the order by which the
department of labor lias arranged to
bring Porto Itlcan laborers Into this
country for work on government con

TROUBLE IN MAKING BUTTER
Churning la Sometimes Prolonged for
B«veral Hours Without Ob
taining Product
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The farm buttermnker sometimes
■fall* ro obtain butter after churning
the usual length of time; In fact, the
churning Is sometimes prolonged for
several hour* without obtaining but
ter. The cuuses of the difficulty, to
gether with the remedies, are as fol
lows :
1. Churning temperature too low. It
may be necessary, under exceptional
condition*, to raise It to between 65
and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Cream too thin or too rich. It
should contain about 30 per cent bnt>
terfat.
Printing Butter.
8. Cream too sweet. If ripened to a
moderate acidity It will churn more
easily.
4. Churn too full. In order to ob
tain «the maximum concussion the
churn should not bo more than on©-
third full.
15. Ropy fermentation of the cream
prevents concussion. This may be
prevented by sterilising all the uten
sils und producing the milk and cream
iiutk>r »//' most Kmiinry conditions. If
additional measures are needed, the
pasteurization of the crenin, with sub
sequent protection from contamination,
and ripening It with a trood starter
will be effective.
•0. Individuality of the cow. The
only remedy Is to obtuln cream from
a cow recently fresh, or cream that
Is known to churn euslly, and before
ripening mix It with the cream that Is
dlfllcult to churn.
7. The cow being for advanced In
the period of luctatlon. The effect*
may be at lenst partially overcome by
adding, before*(tpenlng, some cream
from a cow tluit is not fur advanced
In the period of lactation.
8. Feeds that produce hard fat. Such
feeds are cottonseed meal and timo
thy hay. Linseed meal, gluten feed,
anil succulent feeds, such as silage
and roots tend to overcome the con
dition.
DISEASES OF DAIRY CATTLE
Production of Milk Can Ba Materially
Increased by Preventing Many
Disorders.
(Prepared by Ilia Untied Bute* Deport
ment of Agriculture.)
In on effort to maintain or Increase
our live stock supplies, the reduction
of the 101 l taken by disease should not
be overlooked. There are a large num
ber of diseases which are very com
mon and which seriously affect the
dairy Industry. Among these are Con
tagious abortion, tuberculosis. Infec
tious garget, cowpoi, cattle-tick fever,
etc., which In the past have greatly
reduced the milk production of our
herds.
Tradition hn* It that In remedying
these condition* the value of prevent
ing and combating disease I* In the
ratio of 10 to 1; In other word*, "an
ounce of prevention I* worth a pound
of cure." A* a matter of fact this es
timate la too low; probably 100 to 1
would be much nearer the truth. In
aplte of this fact, however, preventive
measures are not #o well known or so
effective that disease can always be
prevented.
In dealing with contagious unease*
the basic principle or prevention Is to
keep carriers of Infection away from
the herd. Next In Importance la main

ber of women. The marking of shells
to designate size, load and runge will
require 250,000 operations each day.
The plant has a total area of approx
imately 2,500 acres. More than 100
buildings, with an aggregate floor
space of 1,1100,000 square feet, will pro
vide storage for shells and parts and
for material. A small city, with heat
ing and lighting plants, water and sew
age systems, hospitals, flre-flghtlng
plant and restaurants, was built to
house the employees. There Is equip
ment to protect the health of those
who work with poisonous gases, and
a school for Instruction in the load
ing of artillery ammunition with high
explosives.
The operating plant consists of IS
shell-loading units, each Independent
of the other, with equipment for load
ing 18 sizes of shells, ranging from the
recently developed 7-mllllmeter to 10
Inches. On two sizes of shell* the pro
pelling charge also will be loaded, the
•hell and cartridge case being assem

assembled In France.
In the construction of the shell

The American soldier In France gets
pure drinking water from mobile water
trains. The trains are under the ju
risdiction of the. army medical depart
ment. They are miniature .water
works, which chemically treat, filter
and sterilize water, making It fit for
consumption. What munlclpul water
works do to Insure healthful water to
the people of a city these trains do for
the soldiers.
A number of purification units with
attached motor-tank trucks constitute
a train. Eacfc unit Is a complete filtra
tion plant. Including laboratory. Ar
riving at a stream It sets hose into
the water and pumps- the water
through a pressure tank. Before the
water passes through a sand filter It Is
treated chemically to rid It of disease
germs. The pure water la pumped
into tank* mounted on trucks,
carry the wafer to the soldiers.
Each mobile water unit carries on
expert chemist, bacteriologist and
pumpman. There Is a complete lab
oratory In the front of the mneliine for
the testing of the water. Tests are
made every two hours or more often
when it Is thought necessary. The wa
ter Is lifted Into the filter by a gasoline
pump engine and a complete supply
of extra pipes and tools are carried so
that all repairs, either from accident
or shell fire, can be made on the spot.
The trucks are equipped with electric
lights so that the work can be earrled
on at night. Many of the chemists
and bacteriologists assigned to the mo
bile laboratories were formerly con
nected with municipal waterworks and
filtration plants.
Every community will be combed for

of the German coast was made by
large American flying boats operating
from a Rrltlah Royal Air force station.
Ensign Potter was one of two Ameri

rotter's death reflects credit on his
courage. He was killed in a fight with
seven enemy single-seaters. He wss
second pilot to a Brltlah air force cap

down the German plane In March.
Two British planes had flown to a

are turned out dally and production 1*
increasing. The Impression exists that
a shot from an American .45 take* a
man out of action completely. Men
hit from the smaller German pistol*
frequently continue In action effec
tively. The .45 caliber was adopted
by the-United States army In 1911.
Despite the heavy Increased demand
for these pistols the ammunition
i branch of the ordnance department
; has effected a saving during the past
1 two calendar months of nearly $2,000,-
000, mostly on small-arms ammunition.
The total savings by the ordnance
department for these two month*
througlmalvage, waste prevention and
the utilization or sale of discarded ma
terials have aggregated $8,757,025.
Cost of Vlckers machine guns has been
reduced $822.85 each; Colt machine
guns, $284.10 each; Lewis machine
guns, $22 each. Government rifles
now cost $22 each, a reduction of sl3

with 6, or preferably 6, 8-penny cement
coated nails at each corner of the sides
and bottom and at the center partition.
Oases made of cottonwood have, on the
whole, the greatest number of advan
tages. Medium fillers (three pounds,
three ounces) or heavier should be
used. It is absolutely necessary, also,
that the flllef be perfectly new. Even
a short-haul shipment into the packing
house should disqualify the filler for
further use. Suitable cushions of ex
celsior, with a flat, should be placed
on the top and bottom of the case.
Corrugated board on the top of the case
affords practically the same protection
as the excelsior cushion, provided It
takes up the slack.
The load of eggs must be a solid unit
In the car, fitting without play. This
is the most Important factor in avoid
ing damage In transit. The amount of
damage In properly loaded cars buffed
with straw Is slightly less than in the
same cars buffed with wood. In plac
ing the buffing, care should be taken
not to-permit it to prevent circulation
of air, which Is essential to good re
frigeration. When the straw buffing la
placed at the bunkers and extends from
the top of the load to the floor of the
car, it Is found that at least 50 per
cent of the refrigeration is lost
Self bracing of the load by means
of suitable strips placed below the
cases proved mnch more satisfactory
than braces nailed to the car. Nailed
braces seldom arrive in place and fre
quently cause much damage.
Selected Breeding Fowls.
A few breeding fowls selected for
their superior vigor and stronger vi
tality will often return a greater profit
thnn a much larger number of fowls
which are lacking in these essentials.
