FROM SUBHARINES.

One of the most interesting techni- cal questions of the war, just now, is whether there is any possible means of defence against the submarine, and a writer in the Scientific American makes the following attempt to ans- wer the question:

In the first place let it be accept-

ed, once and for all, that if s sub- marine, and particularly _one of the German type, can get within point- blank range of the enemy, the ship attacked will either be sent to the bottom or its days of military use- fulness will be over for many long months to come. One of the most striking evidences of 'German tore- thought was their designing of u special submarine torpedo. having a limited range of only 1,200 yards, high explosive in the warhead. The but carrying no less than 420 lbs. of fact that every warship which has been struck by German subiizuriiie torpedoes has gone to the botto-ii (our American contemporary, it will lic noted. takes this for grunted.- Ed., “1\I. H.") is conclusive evidence of the terrible efficiency of these mu- pons, may he sought both in the defensive nnd offensive direction, (ine of the principal efforts of naval construct- ors for many years past has been to afford such effective defensive protec- tion, by mesns of extensive subdiv- ision below 'the water-line that the inflow of water from a torpedo ex- plosion would be limited-so limited, in fact, that the ship would remain afloat and proceed to port under its own steanr. The rapid sinking of the Aboukir, Cressy, llogue . _ _ has shown beyond all disputation that the submarine, if it once gets mas- tery even of the most modern and largest of worships. It is our opiii- ion thnt, no matter to what extent subdivision may be carried or how great a part of che displacement is sacrificed to torpledo-defence coffer- dums or compnrtmfents-in view of the increased size of the submarine, its increasing speed, and the possi- bility ol yet further increase in the explosive charge of its torpedoes, it will be impossible to render the war- ship of the future safe or even rea- sonably protected against submarine attack.

The speed of the submarine is gen-

erally so low ns compared with that of modern warships that the chances of getting within firing range are very much smaller than the average layman would suppose. One of the principal lessons learned in this war is flint high speed find quick manoeu- vriug of the strip attacked, combined with a sharp lookout from the mast- head, are ii most edectipe protect- ion. In calm weather, when the sen is fairly snzooth, the course of the perlscope of u submarine is ciearly discernible by the long white streak which it leaves behind. Naval men will tell you that even when the per- iscopc itself is subm-erg‘ed, there is a certain disturbance of the surface of the water, indicating the presence of a moving submerged body.

When ri dreudnaught, battleship, or

armored cruiser of first.-cliisn import- uncc is steaming in submarine infes- ted waters it should always be nc- compiinicd by destroyers, which have proved in the operations in the North Sen, that they can “KU” f0I` fl Bull' murine with all the snap und dash of a terrier ufter ii rat. There have been several cases of successful raniuiing' of submarines by destroyers, und one or two fnirly well authenticated cas- es of the submarine being sunk by i1,'uii-fire as it cumc to the surface for observation.

The difficulty of detecting ii sub-

marine increases 'as the water grows rougher, und it will he renicmhcred flint thc most successful attacks on large ships have been made in stor- my weather. The wash of the peris- cope then becomes very difficult. to detect.

By frir the most hopeful method of

protection against this insidious form of nttnck is to be found, strnuu'e to sity, in a new form of na- vnl warfare and observation the dir- igible and the aeroplane. Experi- mcnts by American aviators during the occupation of Vern Cruz and ut other points have showin that it is possible to detect ii submarine, when the observer is two or three thous- and feet in the air, at depths below the surface of the water which are positively surprising, the marine be- ing visible in clear and calm water at ii depth of fifty to one hundred feet. Now ii submarine which is con- terr-'ilnting rin attack has to keen pretty close to the surface so as to "poi~poise" us it is culled, swiftly rind frequently, to take a perlscopic peep at the enemy. In rough water vision is not so good, but the sub- marine can still be seen. Now here is ii means of defence, the import- nnce und possibilities of development of which can scarcely he overestima- ted. A squadron of aeroplanes thrown out in reeonnaissnce nheud of the fleet would, in any but thick or stor- my wcathen, be an admirable defence ngninst an sneniy which "needs only to he seen" to he laughed nt.

FOR THE DANDELIONS.

Department of Agriculture El\'€S

. i metliods for killing dande-

lioiis and plnntains thru rufii the ap- pearance of lawns.

The best way to kill individual dan-

delion plunts is to cui oil their tops and put a pinch of salt labour a thim- bleful) on the surface of ouch exposed roof. This will kill most of llieni. AS salt, if generally upplfeil, ruins soil the suli should he used sparingly and applied only to the top roots of the daudellons. Tire U. S. l)@l11\l‘lllll’“l Ol Agriculture has for some time been testing various poisons io discover the most efficient means ol` eradicating this troublesome weed from lawns. but although others have been found satisfactory, the common salt is best for general use. as there is no danger accompanying its application.

The dcpartment's specialists say

that much effort is wasted in inerely cutting off llie dandelion top witlioui applying some poison to the root that remains. ’l`he daiidellon has a lop root that grows deep into the soil. mid cutting ofl' thc plant merely encour- agg_s the dandelion to conic up in ii thicker growth.

The time to erndicnic dandelions

is in the Spring before the plant has had time to form seed. The seed spreads rapidly. blown by the wind. The blossoms should be close mowu before they have gone to seed. and salt should then he applied io each root. A man may be very diligent in caring i`or his own lawn and yer havi- seeds blown in from neighboring lawns. This is ol' such lmportniice to those desiring flue lawns (hui it might be made a niuiier for i-oinmunii_v action.

li' tho lawn is very full of this weed

it is ioi tedious u process to treat eu. li :mini by the salt proc(-ss. ln this case two possible methods of` cradl- cniion may bc recomniended. The first ini-fliod is to thicken the stand of grass io lend to crowd out the dan- dcllons. The grass should be put into a vigorous condition by lop dressing with well rooted manure or fertilizer in the Fall. and by reseeding in thin places. The second method. advised in extreuie instances, is to start all over again. l’low up the liiwu flrsi (or spade it if the area is snmll). A generous amount of well rotted manure should then be worked into the soil. but not fresn manure. for that is full of' weed seeds ready io germinate. In case manure is not available, coniuierciiil fertilizers may be used. Many lawn soils are ln need of lime and it is often ii wise plan to use it, especially if white clover ls to be sown. After plowing, the land should be liarrowed or raked fre- quently to reduce it to ii good seed bed condition. Tlils will encourage the early germination of weed seeds with the subsequent extermination of the seedlings. Thorough cultivation at this period wlll destroy the dande- lion plants. both those that come from roots and seeds. After following either of the two plans sketched here. the lawn should be maintained in good condition. by careful mowing, rolling and watering.

Spraying with iron sulphate solu-

tion to kill dandclions without kllllng the grass is not reconiniended by the department. although lt has been tried by some who consider it suc- cessful. Experlmcnts do not seem to establish lt as a practical method.

’l‘-he dandelion is not ii native Am-

erican plant, linving been introduced from Europe several centuries ago. It was first introduced ln the East and has spread westward with our emigration. The weed ls common all over Europe. and has gone into other lands with settlers from ilie older communities of man.

The name “daudollon" is said to

come from the French "Dent de Lion," which menus tooth of lion. and refers io- the tooth shaped edges of the leaf of the plain.

The dandelion is widely used

throuizliout Europe as s truck crop. Certain foreigners recently arrived in America have continued to use the plant as a vegetable and Italians ln the neighborhood of large cltles have made considerable proflt by _gatlfer ln; and taking lt to market..

Several places around Boston now

grow the dandelion as a truck crop. The seeds are sown ln July or August fn rows 12 inches apart. and although the plants are of good size in .the Fall they are not generally gathered for the market until early ln the spring. As soon as the snow is off the ground the crops are gathered and for a time the fariiiers receive from $1 to $1.25 a bushel for these greens. By May the price has fallen to about 50 cents a bushel, and then tho ground ls plow- ed up to make room for other vege- tables, as the dandelion is no longer

profitable.

Another weed that injures the

beauty of many lawns ls the plan- taln. of which there are two varieties: the buckthorn, or rfb grass. and the

Dllwllllll'-except the method of poison ill! the individual plant. :Instead of Cllll-lil! ol! the top and sprinkling the roots with Balt. as is done inthe case of the dandelion. the individual plan- lllll lilly best be removed by Dulllnll up by the root after a heavy rain when the ground ls wet. The plan- taln does not_pfIer a difficult problem. as the roots are pulled up readily. even from clay soll, after a heavy rain.

RECORDING *COW QUALITY. |

In many dairy sections in Canada

it is quite poslble, judging from offi- clsl figures, to find a herd of cows pro- ducing milk at a feed cost of only .sixty-two cents, or less, per hundred pounds, while on a farm two miles a- way milk costs perhaps ninety cents or more per hundred for feed. And ‘ on that farm where uiilk costs more. may often be found some diiiy requisi- tes, such as a pure bred dairy sire. good ensllage. etc. Other i~eq\ii.sltes may he lacking. well rouudcil dairy judgment, cow quality. _

Solid and lasting success is attain-

ed both easier and quicker by thc in- telligent use of dairy records, this ls just common sense selection of paying of “ju.st cows." The individual cow oi' good promise is quickly und uuerring- ly spotted by the use of simple dairy records and fed for better production at less cost while the antique souvenir unless as a profit maker, is licefcd ho- cauec she lacks ability in produci- nillk at a reasonable cost for feed.

The man who raises his own calves

can lake quick strides in building up a good herd, for he keeps only his best cows and knows just what he has got. The man who sells, often sclls his best cows for a song (this is the plain history of some worlrl-chanipion cows) just because he does not know what good cow quality he has; dairy records would have informed him.

A matter of ten minutes per cow

per month spent in recording will pui surprising. most illuminating results before airy licrd owner, indicative of' great possibilities at present dormant in his dairy cows.
