Wall street is ashing. jl
Expressed in the language of Wall v
street, shrapnel is costing European >e
countries now at war about $ 1 $ each ;
on the firing line. .Manufacturers in '
this country and Canada are getting 1
from $15 to more than $1$ for each !c
shell, the additional expense to the I1
foreign contracts being cost of trans-!'
portation and. in certain instances. *
filling the cartridge case with powder s
abroad.
From the point of view of engin- r
eers shrapnel, one of the most effect- 1
ive agencies for the destruction ot v
human life yet devised, is an extreme- r
ly complex mechanism, its complexi- F
ty being shown by the sub-contracting
of the order received by the Ca- s
? -J:-- ^ J /lAnmanv C
IldUiclil v.cli axiu r v/uuui,? wviu
among fifty concerns in the United e
States and Canada. The company's 1
crder called for 5,000,000 shrapnel, ^
at an approximate cost of $$3,000,- 1
000, or $16.65 each. Close to 20,- 000,000
pounds of copper are being F
used in their manufacture or about h
four pounds to each shrapnel. 11
The complete shrapnel is composed 0
of three principal parts: The time 0
fuse, the projectile proper, a hollow n
steel shell filled wijh bullets and a a
bursting charge of black powder; and
a brass cartridge case filled with (smokeless
powder to shoot the pro- e
jectile from the gun. This brass
cartridge case is similar vto the shell n
of an ordinary rifle or revolver cart- c
ridge. 0
The time fuse is a very complicated d
mechanical device which may be set n
to burst the steel projectile any num- u
ber of seconds or feet after it has left 0
the muzzle of the gun. It is as deli- 11
cately constructed as a watch or a jn
safe lock and i6 made largely of brass p
and alloys of aluminum.
The time fuse is screwed into the
point of the steel projectile, the pro- c:
jectile is filled with small bullets, usu- a
ally about 250 in number, and is ex- Sl
ploded by means of a charge of black a
powder seated at the opposite end
from the time fuse. When it ex- b
plodes the bullets are hurled over a a
range of about 250 square yards. a
The bullets are 88 per cent, lead and c<
12 per cent, antimony.
The cartridge case is from a foot
to almost two feet long and is made w
of sheet brass and filled with smoke- S1
less powder. It is 6et off by a per- ^
cussion cap and will hurl the projec- a
tile up to 6,000 yards, making that b
distance in a trifle less than 20 sec- tc
onds.?Wall Street Journal. 1
Done With Diving. ei
I tl
"Scientific management has come ci
to stay. These old fogies who oppose tc
v it are as riduculously hidebound as it
the diver." pi
The speaker was Dr. Simms Reid, w
/ who is the author of several scientific tl
management textbooks. n
"As hidebound as the diver," Dr. ia
Reed pursued. "This fellow had been s<
a day laborer, and then he turned
to diving because the pay was better. Ci
' But he only went down once. Yes, h
% he only went down once, and he'd a
hardly been down two minutes be- rr
fore he signaled to be drawn up fj
again. fi
"They drew him up quickly. He g
motioned to them to unscrew His nei- S(
met. As soon as he got the helmet
off he began to take off his loaded e
shoes and rubber combination suit. 7

Don't Say Thoroughbred. n
Dr. Butler has often said that the
term "thoroughbred" applied to anything
except a distinct breed of c
horses known as "Thoroughbreds" is v
Incorrect. Just as Percherons, Shires a
and Clydesdales are a distinct breed.
It's the old "running" race horse? s
not the trotter or pacer. E
We get advertisements very often
offering for sale "thoroughbred" 1
Berkshires. Herefords. White Leg- a
horns, cottonseed and Belgian hares. r
When such an advertisement 1
comes in we change the word thoroughbred"
to "purebred." t
Try to remember this in writing 1
letters to your customers or in talk- s
ing about livestock. Expert livestock ?
men are apt to think the man who s
uses incorrect terms of this kind is
not on to his job. c
If your letter heads and literature j
carry this word "thoroughbred." have
the printer change it when you get a 1
new supply.?Progressive Farmer. ?

latter That Must lie Determined I?y
Latitude or Location.
Crimson clover, bur clover and
etch are sown from August 1". to
November 15. The first date is too
arly probably anywhere in the Coton
Belt, and certainly too early anychere
except on the extreme northrn
border of the Cotton Belt. The
atter date is too late anywhere.
In the northern third of the Cot011
Belt we advise seeding these
rops from August 2" to September
5. In the central third of the Coton
Belt we would sow them from
September 10 to October 1, and in thej
outhern third from September 15 to
)otober 15. For fall-sown alfalfa
irobably the same dates will apply.
Sarlier seeding of bur clover and
etch will not generally be found seiously
objectionable and likely to
rove unsuccessful.
North of the Cotton Belt, earlier
eeding of crimson clover is probably
lesirable. but in the Cotton Belt the
arlier seeding of crimson clover is
ikely to fail. The seed germinate
nick-lv wherever there is moisture.
f they germinate earlier than August
0 to September 1, the young clover
ilants are likely to be killed by the
ot dry weather. When these young
dants are protected by a crop like
owpeas or corn or cotton they will
ften live, provided there is sufficient
uoisture, even though they come up
s early as July; but this only applies
o the extreme northern limits of the
!otton Belt and is too risky for genral
practice.
Following the custom further
orth, it has been advised to sow
rimson clover at the last cultivation
f the corn or cotton crops. As inicated.
this may succeed on the
orthern border of the Cotton Belt
nder very favorable and linusua'.
onditions, but it is not a safe pracice,
and the Progressive Farmer does
ot and never has recommended the
ractice for the Cotton Belt.
If the corn fields are clean, which
> not often the case with early corn,
rimson clover may be sown in corn
t the dates named above as best for
seding in the different sections, with
fairly good chance for success if
iere is sufficient moisture. But we
elieve it is generally bette^to cut
nd remove the corn, disk the land
nd sow the crimson clover seed and
5ver very lightly.
Cotton lands offer the best place
>r the seeding of crimson clover
ithout the removal of the crop and
?ecial preparation of the soil. We
o not advise sowing crimson clover
t the last cultivation of the cotton,
ut we do advise sowing it in the cot>n
fields from August 20 to October
, according to the locality, October
is too late for seeding crimson clovr
in cotton in the northern half of
le Cotton Belt. It is very rare that
-imson clover cannot be sown in cot-j
>n without injury to the cotton if
is done immediately after the first
icking. If the cotton fields are as
eedy as was common last season,
le seeding of#crimson clover may
ot prove successful, but usually the
ite cultivated cotton fields are rea>nably
clean.
There have been some failures with
rimson clover from too early seed
ig, especially when there has been
great scarcity of moisture, but
lany more failures have resulted
rom too late seeding of all these
ill-sown legumes. We make an urent
plea for earlier seeding of crimon
clover, bur clover and vetch, than
> generally practiced, and certainly
arlier than was common last year,
'he fact that these crops, sown allost
any time during the fall of 1913,
ere successful caused many to sow
iter than common last year, and the
esult was generally more or less of a
ailure, as will usually be the case
rom late seeding.?Progressive Farmer.

Secret Orders.
There are some people?but onl]
a few, we believe?who are opposec
to secret orders and can see no gooc
in them. Those who are of this waj
of thinking should consider what is
being done by the Generostee trib<
of Red Men, which has its beadquar
ters in the Orr mills village.
Some time ago a member of th<
lodge died and left a widow and little
son. The widow was able to sup
port herself and could have support
ed her child, of course, but the Rec
Men stepped in ana aaoptea me uuy
in a sort of informal way. Evei
since then the lodge has cared foi
the boy. All of the cost of his liv
ing is paid by the lodge, and th<
members keep watch over him. The:
pay for his clothes and everythinj
he needs, and they 6end him t<
school. The other night they had at
entertainment in their hall in hi:
honor. He was the honor guest, an<
everything was done to make hin
have a pleasant evening.
The Red Men do many things o
this kind. They make life pleasan
for others as they go along. The;
do not advertise the good deeds the:
do. of course, and therein lies mucl
of the real good in what they do.
In doing good to others the Re*
Men make themselves better men
And this is true of many other secre
orders. Those who oppose secret or
ders simply do not know what the
are doing.?Anderson Daily Mail.
