C MAKE BIG GUNS OBSOLETE Western Inventor Devises an Aerial Torpedo That Gives Promise of Effectiveness. What may eventually prove to be a highly effective war implement, and, if so, possibly render present heavy ar tillery obsolete for long-range opera tions, is a self-controlled aerial tor pedo that has lately been developed in Colordo. It Is described in the Au gust number of Popular JUechanics Magazine. In a general way, the In strument attempts to accomplish over land what the United States navy's new wireless torpedo does at sea. Its principle and method of operation, of course, are entirely different. As is to be inferred, it consists of a small aircraft much like an ordinary bi plane carrying a large, high-explosive torpedo which it is designed to drop at any predetermined spot within a certain radius. The projectile, which Is about twelve feet in length, forms the body of the machine and is divided Into two compartments. The propel ler is mounted at the front end of it, while the shaft extends through the entire torpedo to the rear compart ment, where an 18-horsepower motor Is housed. The speed and course of the machine are regulated by means of a gyroscopic mechanism, while a tim ing device of some sort releases the engine containing missile at the prop er instant for it to strike its target. Its Sort. "Did you see where in the storm the other night the jail was struck?" "Well, what better place for a light ning bolt?" Because a man growls at his wife it is no sign that she is afraid of him. Russia's Natural Roads. Russia Is almost a readless land. It Is Inconceivable to the foreign visitor who has never left the beaten track of the railways in Russia how a great em pire can have subsisted so long and so successfully without even a pretense at roads. The secret lies in the fact that for five or six months in the year na ture herself provides roads over , the greater part of Russia admirable. smooth, glassy roadways over hard worn snow. The traffic Is further cheapened over these roads by the substitution of a sledge-runner for the wheel and axle. This brings the cost of land carriage as near the cheapness of water-borne freight as possible and It Is the princi pal reason why Russia In the twentieth century Is still a roadless land. A Ton-Welflht Turtle. That turtle "weighing nearly a ton' (fisherman's weight?) lately landed at Penzance cannot be either the green turtle, associated with civic feasts, or the hawk's bill, from which we get tor toise shell. These two belong to trop ical seas, and are of smaller dimen sions. The ponderous "hlnseek" caught off Scnlly must be a "loggerhead" tur tle, which occurs in the Mediterranean and sometimes visits our southern coasts. The "loggerhead" is the only carnlverous turtle, and distinguished from the green variety by size, shape of head, and number of plates on the armor. But he is occasionally cooked In mistake for his edible cousin, with disastrous results to the diners. Lon don Chronicle. The bore can head off all effort to forget that he Is a bore.

LARA.) There has been an Increase of more ;han 41,100 in the membership of vari ous boys' and girls' agricultural clubs conducted by the state agricultural col leges and the department of agricul ture. Two years ago there were 210,077 members of the various agricultural club projects In the 33 states covered by this work. One year ngo the mem bership had grown to 151,194, exclusive of the enrollments in the mother daughter canning clubs. This work is being carried on co operatively in 20 of the 33 states In the northern, central and western ter ritory by the department of agricul ture and the extension departments of the state colleges of agriculture. In practically every state short courses for i)oys and girls and special demonstra tion schools have been held at the col leges and in the field. During the past year, 1,557 club members attended the midwinter courses at the colleges, 968 of these having their expenses paid by local contributions as a recognition of their achievements in club work. Of the 38 club members who, as cham pions in their states, districts or coun ties two years ago, have become rec ognized as National All-Star club mem bers, 31 are' now attending high schools, agricultural or other colleges, three of the remaining seven have al ready graduated from high school, and one will go to an agricultural college this next fall. Experience has shown that the work In the boys and girls' clubs can be carried on with even greater success without the aid of large cash prizes CONSERVE ALL FARM MANURE and awards. The net profits from the work itself have been found to be the best possible incentive. The members have their attention directed to prob lems of farm and home management, crop rotation, soil building, etc., and in practically every state m which the work Is being carried on a large num ber of club members are now working out three and four-year rotations of crops. The profits which they derive from club work they are spending on getting an education, or for purchase of purebred stock and labor-saving Mecessary for Farmer to Save All Fer- tilizers Produced Sheltered Pit Should Be Made. During the present potash famine it Is necessary for every farmer to con serve carefully all the farm manures produced.. It is a well-known fact that farm manures contain a large propor tion of the potash that was originally in the plants consumed by the ani mals. The amount of potash in the manure varies directly with the amount in the plants. Those animals fond of plants running high in potash pro duce a manure running high In this element. Goat manure is a striking illustration. Animals fond of plants running high In ammonia produce a manure high In ammonia. Horse and cattle manure are in this class. Poul try manure runs high in ammonia and phosphoric acid. Dean P. LL Rolfs of the University of Florida college of agriculture call3 attention to the fact that the ammo nia, potash and phosphoric acid con tent of the manures of these farm ani mals is in the best condition for use as a fertilizer. If the manures are not protected .against leaching rains,, the soluble fertilizers or the fertilizing EXPENSE OF FEEDING MULES Prize 1 Winner Raised by Oklahoma Boy. machinery. Many are even buying land and thus acquiring an Invaluable sense of dignity and Independence. In the canning work, 938 public dem onstrations were held during the year, with a total attendance of 118.367. These demonstrations were held pri marily for the club members, but pa rents were always Invited and, as a matter of fact, more than half of those present were grown men and women. One of the great advantages of this club work, Indeed, is the fact that It serves to stimulate the parents as well as the children. elements available to plants will b washed out and the manures will lost a large amount of their value. A manure pit, sheltered against rain, should be provided on every farm. There is no better fertilizer and al the same time there Is no more profit able form of fertilizer to employ than farm manures. HOGS ARE MOST PROFITABLE Pork Can Be Raised at Less Cost Than Cotton Animals Wilt Gather Their Own Feed. Hogs are worth about ten cents a pound on the market almost as much as cotton. You can raise twice as many pounds of hogs per acre as you can of cotton and at less cost. Take the hog end of the proposition. Plant peas, peanuts, clover, grasses, chufas, sweet potatoes, sorghum and the like for hogs. They will gathex their own crop without waste and every pound they gather Is at once con verted into a finished product ready for th market at a good profit. Result of Test Made at Hays Substa tion Animals Made Increase of 109 Pounds Per Head. During the past winter a feeding test was Conducted at the Hays sub station of Kansas, in which weanling mules were fed for a period of 130 days for an average of $8.16 per head. The total cost of maintaining the 31 mules used in the experiment was $252.96, Including labor. The average Initial weight was 545 pounds, and dur ing -the experiment there was an h crease of 109 pounds per head. The mules were fed 6,510 pounds of sudan hay, valued at $4 per ton; 3,380 pounds of cane hay at $2.50 per ton; 10,115 pounds of alfalfa hay at $6 per ton ; 12,600 pounds of kafflr tailings at $2 per ton; C.8C0 pounds of sorghum fodder at $1.50 per ton ; 201 pounds of oats at 45 cents per bushel; 10,064 pounds of corn-and-cob meal at 93 cents per cwt.; 1,000 pounds of oil meal at $1.54 per cwt.; 50 pounds of jinl t at 75 cents per cwt.; and were given alfalfa pasture months at 35 Hats of Crepe. Hats of georgette crepe, often faced with a fine straw, seem to have taken the fancy of the well-dressed Ameri can woman, for there have been seen any number of these hats in the last few weeks. These crepe hats, of pink, blue, purple or yellow hues, are not bright tones, but colors that, while not pastel, are a hit dulled from the pri mary or secondary pure tones. The hats are backed by a fine silk, which makes it almost impossible to tell at s little distance that the hat is of crepe. Wheat Bran for Fowls.

RESTORES KIDNEYS For many years druggists have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder rem edy. It is a physician's prescription. Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi cine. Dr. Kilmer used it for years in his itrivate practice. It helps the kidneys, iver and bladder do the work nature intended- tbey should do. Swamp-Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on its merit and it will help you. No other remedy can successfully take its place. Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. Adv.

At first sight there does not seem to be a very close connection between the war in Europe and head hunting In the Solomon islands. Nevertheless, the one arises from the other. Previous to the . outbreak of the war, according to a Vancouver World's Sydney (N. S. W.) correspondent, Brit ish, and occasionally German war ships patrollyed the Islands and en deavored to keep down cannibalism among the natives, who are largely of Papuan or Malaysian stock. How ever, the requirements for the trans port of troops led to the recall of the British warships and the happy head hunter has been free to follow his own devious courses. In one raid made by a mountain tribe upon a small village near the coast no less than 20 heads were se cured. No punishment followed be cause the whites were unable to or ganize in time. As a consequence the raids are growing more dangerous and, although as yet no Europeans have been attacked, planters have con stantly to keep on their guard. An Unproductive Visitor.

A hand ful of men, whose fathers were In the business before them, work frog catch ing in Epplng forest with Seven Dials as base, and it Is one of the most high ly specialized industries in London. With frog catching, snail catching Is allied; the frogs go to some restau rants and to the anatomical laborato ries of the hospitals, and the snails are chiefly bought as cleaners of suburban domestic aquariums. The snail that is eaten In Soho comes from the vine yards of France. London Chronicle. Every man who knows it all seldom gets a chance to tell It after he gets married.
