AFFECTS EVERY HOUSEHOLDER Xoss Through Inefficient Use of Fuel Is Estimated by Government Ex- 's-; perts at Half a Billion Dol- ,!•*>••. lars Annually. Uncle Sam Already Preparing to Solve Big War Problem. ' Fully half a billion dollars, or one- fourth the first issue' of Liberty Loan bonds, was wasted last year In this country through inefficient use of coal, according to Van. H. Manning, direc- tor of Uncle Sam's bureau of mines. He further declared that this waste was continuing at an even greater rate and at a much larger penalty to the country because of the Increase In the price of coal. \The penalty is not only a heavy tax on the American poeketbook,\ said Mr. Manning, but it Is also an unpatriotic thing, for every pound of coal we waste there is much less available to put into energy to end the war. \Last year the United States mined 600,000,000 tons of coal, the great- est production ever witnessed in the world, and of this amount we wasted 150,000,000 tons, or 25 per cent, through inefficient use. \As an example, in the modern, ef- ficient power plants of the country 20 per cent of the heat in the coal con- sumed is .converted into power, where- as in the small power stations the ef- ficiency of all kinds of steam-power plants in the United States can be only a matter of guesswork, it is quite probable that the average is some- where in the neighborhood of 5 or 6 per cent of the energy of the coal transformed into useful energy ready for distribution. So you can see that, if it were possible to elevate the av- erage efficiency to something near the maximum now attainable In steam plants, about three times as much en- ergy would be available for the pro- ductive industries of the country. Care in Furnace Room Needed. \Xou will find business men, how- ever, making the statement that In order to attain these savings it will be necessary to put in new equipment, and that this is not the time for changes with the factories working at their maximum t o supply the ma- terials needed in the war. This is partly true, but there Is hardly a man- ufacturing establishment In the coun- try which cannot, with a certain amount of care and supervision in its furnace room, use much less coal and obtain much greater results. \Owing to the great abundance of coal here, In the past the manufac- turer has paid but little attention to the amount of coal he burned or how it was burned. In addition, technical training in our colleges has placed rel- atively small emphasis on the prin- ciples and the processes of combus- tion, concentrating their attention rather upon the improvement of the engine. The more evident facts of combustion seemed so simple as to of- fer little inducement for an intensive study of the process, but, as a matter of fact, the burning of a fuel is by no means a simple process, and the mis- conceptions that have resulted from a too casual study of the phenomena have led engineers to construct un- economical and inefficient devices. \Tho nature of coal has also been misunderstood by many users. Coal is an extremely complex substance, be- having quite differently under differ- ent conditions of combustion, and as the United States is extremely rich la a great variety of mineral fuels, it would seem necessary that the fur- nace design should vary with the dif- ferent fuels used. f Bureau's Reports to Aid. \The bureau of mines has for a num- ber of years been engaged in studying these problems and has by this time completed a number of reports that tend to solve many of the difficulties met with in the burning of coal. These Reports are not only of extremely great (value to the engineers and firemen of jpower plants, but they are also a prac- tical aid to the householder in keep- ing up his furnace in an economical manner. Many of the conclusions of the bureau, as embodied in these re- ports, can be put into operation at once with a great saving of coal and without any expensive new equipment being installed. \Looked at in a broad way, it is not economical to transport high- grade coal through long distances into districts where fuels of lesser value are to be had in abundance, when, as a matter of fact, the cheaper fuels could be satisfactorily used if the user would show a little patience and gump- tion. The suitability of fuels for use in any locality is, therefore, a matter of public education in which the bu- reau of mines takes a deep interest. As an illustration, thu substitution of coke for anthracite coal in many local- ities Is very desirable on the score of economy, and the bureau desires to stimulate the use of coke as a domes- tic fuel because of Its cleanliness.\ Adjutant General of Army to Have General Control, Acting Through _ Five Principal Bureaus. Prisoners of war and thefcr problems are already with us. Inside wire fences at three war prison barra.cks Undo Sum's war department has even now a considerable number of Gorrnan prison- ers and, since its business is to ho ready ahead of time, Is completing plans for handling any rruiuljer of! thousands that the future may bring, Work and pay for prisoners, tnelr care and food, censoring of their mail, guarding- them, and a dozen other parts of the whole problem have been gone over and are now so near final solution that an outline of the organization and plans can be given. All war prisoners, whether military or naval, will ultimately be placed in the custody of the war department, and the adjutant general of the army will have general control through, fivo prin- cipal bureaus. 1. A bureau of administration charged with the composition, and per- sonnel of the guards, the pay, rations, clothing and transportation of tliem. 2. A bureau of employment in. charge of the labor of prisoners, both within their places of internment and on federal, state and private projects without the prisons. 3. A bureau of religious and educa- tional welfare, to which bureau all matters connected with religion, educa- tion, recreation and the dealing with Bed Cross and benevolent assistance will be conducted. 4. A bureau of inquiry char-god with the custody of the records of -war pris- oners, and through which information concerning the prisoners will be trans- mitted to the enemy's government and to the National Red Cross society, This bureau is also charged with tho for- warding of mall, money orders, and packages sent from the prisoners' home country for delivery to individual pris- oners; and, 5. A bureau of repatriation, charged with the final restoration of prisoners t o their home country at the conclusion of hostilities. The places of detention are known as war prison barracks and at present three such barracks have been estab- lished, located at Fort McPherson, Ga.; Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., and Foxt Doug- las, Utah. Each barracks Is command- ed by a colonel of the regular army, assisted by a staff of officers similar to that of a commanding officer of an army post or camp. | PAS •MOM* PASTURE, SHELTER AND WATER FOR BOAR ilTrom the United States Department of .Agriculture.) The boar need not be a drain on the time and finances of the hog raiser after the close of the spring breeding season. He needs little attention, and if given shelter, shade, and a fresh, clean water supply, he will largely care for himself. The chief consideration is to maintain him In good, hard, thrifty, breeding condition by giving him a n opportunity to exercise and by feeding htin largely on pasture and forage crops. A mature bonr, if heavily grain-fed, has a great tendency to fatten. The boar should be well fed, but uot fat, as too high condition makes him inac- tive, a slow breeder, and a rather un- certain sire. Pasture, therefore, is the best as •well as the cheapest feed. It fur- nishes an abundance of nutrients, is palatable, and keeps the boar's system In good physical condition. Permanent pastures are among the best, and certainly require the least attention. The clovers, blue grass, Bermuda, alfalfa, all make excellent pastures and furnish grazing during a long season. If these are not avail- able, small plots of several temporary pasture crops may be used; for exam- ple, rape; peas and oats, peanuts, vel- vet beans, sorghum, cowpeas, and soy beans. By using any of these forage crops the boar can be maintained over the summer with a very small amount of grain, while if they were not used several pounds of grain per day would be required. On pasture feed only enough grain to keep the boar in breed- ing condition. Very often, on good pasture, none will be required. Guard against feeding too much grain and getting the boar too fat. The boar should be confined to a paddock and not run with the rest of the herd. If he is with another boar, they are»apt to fight, and if he is placed with the breeding herd, the sows will farrow at indefinite dates. It would be Impossible under these con- ditions to keep records of the time of service, and no provision could be made to care for the sow previous to farrowing. LONGFELLOW'S DOUBLE RIVAL—A PUREBRED. HOW TO TREAT EWES AND CARE FOR LAMBS Has a Cork Leg but Would Fight for Uncle Sam. Believing that the use of a cork leg should not prevent Mm from serving his country, John Franklin walked over fifty mllos from a farm near 'Wllbxirton, Okla., to apply for enlistment In the United States marine corps. Franklin had spent two months plowing the fields previ- ous to his long walk, and sup- ported himself on the hike 6y working at odd jobs along the way. He surprised the Marino corps medical examiner by 'walk- ing without the slightest sign o£ lameness. Although Franklin expressed the opinion that his corls: leg should be considered a handy life preserver In case of subma- rine attack, he was not accepted ASPHALT OUTPUT IS LARGER Value of Raw Materials Produced In United States Increased 75 Por Cent in 1916 Over 191 5, ', Average Man Richer by Chart. ' With the circulation wealth per cap- ita of the United States reaching $45.S6, the average man today Is $11.51 richer than he was in 1914. The circu- lation wealth per capita in 1914, was fefct.35: in 1915. $35.44: in 1016. S39.29. Statistics compiled under the super- vision of J. D. Northrop of Uncle Sam's geological survey, indicate that the year 1916 was one of prosperity for the asphalt Industry in the Onlted States. The quantity of natural as- phalt, including bituminous rock, gra- hamlte, gilsonlte, wurtzilito, and the natural paraffin, ozokerite, produced and sold at mines and quarries In the United States in 1916, was 08,477 short tons, valued at $923,281, a gain of 27,726 tons, or 30 per cent in quant- ity, and $396,791, or 75 por cent, in market value, compared with X91S, All branches of the asphalt industry- shared in the general prosperity, and the gains in output included, except for grahamlte, each of the principal va- rieties of natural asphaltlc material produced in the country. Ozokerite from domestic sources reappeared in the statistics of production for the first time since 1907. Tho total sales in 1916 of manufac- tured asphalt derived from domestic petroleum amounted to 688,334 short tons, valued at $6,178,851. Of this quantity 404,000 tons, valued at $3,- 158,603, consisted of fad oils and mix- ing material, and 284.325 tons, val- ued at $3,020,248, consisted of solid or semisolid products utilized for pav- ing. California led all other states In the production of manufactured asphalt, its output from 16 refineries in 1916 amounting to 257,930 short tons,, val- ued at $1,958,946, aud consisting of 108,228 tons of road oils mid fluxes, valued at $633,579, and 3J9.702 tons of paving residuals, valu/vl at $V 325.3G7. Young Animals Intended for Breeding Stock Should Be Weaned Before Five Months. (From tho United States Department o( Agriculture.) Xambs kept for breeding stock should be weaned when from four to five months of age. The lambs intend- ed for market, on the other hand, should attain marketable weights be- fore they are five months of age and should be weaned at the time they are sold. 3Lambs at weaning time should bo kept for four or five days at least on the old pasture, as they do not fret as much as In a strange place. The ewes should be removed to another pasture as far away as possible from the Iambs. If the feed on this pasture be a little scant, so much the better, for this will help check the milk flow. The ewes and lambs should not be turned i n together again, for a large amount of milk from a ewe that has not been suckled for two or three days Is liable to cause digestive disturb- ances In the lamb. .At weaning time the ability of a ewe to produce a good lamb is often ruined because the necessary care is not tak- en to see that she is dried off prop- erly. A little care at this time will be well repaid. Two or three days after the separation the ewes should bo milked out. All of the milk need not be drawn from the udder, but enough should be taken to leave the udder soft and pliable. Mark with colored chalk ewes needing no further atten- tion. In about three days the ewes Bhould be milked out again and the drys marked. Further attention should be given four or five days later to those not dry. No effort should bo spared to maintain every breeding ani- mal In a sound and useful condition. mouth, noso and eyes. Soak his feet thoroughly with cold water, but do not turn the hose on his body or legs. Wash his shoulders every night for a few weeks with cold salt water. \Allow him t o stop in the shade for a few minutes whenever possible for a brief rest and a chance to breathe freely and deeply. \Watch the work horse carefully. Drooping ears,, unsteadiness of gait, short, quick breathing, and a sudden ceasing to sweat are danger signals demanding prompt attention. They mean that the horse is getting too hot and that ho must have shade, cooler air and rest. \If the horse suffers a heat stroke, protect him from the sun, remove tho harness, apply cold to the head— either water or ice—Wash out his mouth and nostrils, and sponge his en- tire body with cold water. \Groom the work horse thoroughly. This will save feed and will increase his health, vigor and power. \Bemember that the horse produces the greatest amount of net power from the feed and care provided when driv- ing a load at a moderate gait, hence greater and more efficient power and energy can be secured by Increasing the load rather than the speed of tho work horse.\ DISEASE OF LITTLE PIGS IS DANGEROUS ATTENTION TO HORSES DURING HOT WEATHER Efficiency of Average Farm Ani- mal Can Be Increased by Ob- serving Simple Rules. a hat the efficiency of the average farm horse can be increased 25 por cent by the observance of simple pre- cautions, Is the opinion of Dr. C.

Thnt \sore mouth\ disease of little pigs has caused much avoidable loss on stock farms this season is reported by Dr. P. B. Hadley, veterinarian of the Wisconsin experiment station. \When every farmer Is trying hard to save every pig in every litter be- cause of the urgent demand for pork and pork products, it is imperative that attention be called to this dis- ease,\ says Doctor Hadloy. \Hidden in the soft tissues of tho mouth, this trouble Is often undiscovered until too late. \Pain and swelling in the gums make it difficult for little pigs affected with sore mouth disease to nurse or eat. This is the first symptom of the disease. Later, ulcers with dark red borders and cheese-like centers de- velop. \Death caused by absorption of poi- sons from the sores will occur In a few days, unless treatment is given speed- ily. Wounds to the gums caused by tooth cutting or other Injury enable germs to enter and start the trouble. \When the disease Is suspected, ex- amine the mouth of every pig. Those showing sores in the mouth should be treated separately, as follows: \Swab the ulcers with a solution of potassium permanganate, made by dis- solving one ounce of the crystals In two quarts of freshly boiled warm wa- ter. Then wash out the mouth with this disinfectant fluid. Bad cases should be treated twice daily, and all cases at least once each day until heal- ing Is complete.\ To prevent the spread of sore mouth, Doctor Hadley advises that the heads •of the pigs be dipped in the same solu- tion and held there for a few minutes. Pens must be cleaned up and disin- fected with some reliable conitnereial disinfectant, prepared and applied ac- cording to regular directions tf the manufacturer. Armlnius was a German who fought for the liberty of a people against the most powerful and warlike empire of the time, He won it. Oddly enough he won It by employment of the very tactics which have gained the most marked success for the German arms In the present war. He may almost be said to have furnished the inspiration for Hlndenburg. For he gained his great victory by luring the legions of Home into the mire of his swamps and morasses and there slaughtering them almost to a man. The great fight took place nine years before the beginning of the Christian era. It drove the power of Rome out of Germany for- ever. Vereingetorix, the great Gallic chieftain, had been overcome by Julius Oaesar, had been made to march in Caesar's triumph and had afterward been murdered in his Boman dungeon. Augustus, the voluptuary and profli- gate, was on the throne of a Rome now largely given over to pleasure. Tiberius, afterward to become emper- or himself, had been recalled from the command of Germany, then held as an outpost of German empire. To suc- ceed him came Quintilius Varus, fresh from rule as the proconsul of Syria. He established his headquarters near the center of the modern country of Westphalia, where he not only gave up himself to the gratification of his rapacity and licentiousness, but en- couraged all manner of excesses on the part of his soldiers. No man's life or property was safe. Less so was the honor of any woman. The Bomans wallowed in evil. The German swarm buzzed In Indignation. In the mind of Arminlus formed the plan, preposter- ous as it seemed, not only to take ven- geance upon the oppressors, but to defy the whole Koman empire, and turn Germany back from vassalage of Bome to Its own Independence. But for his success the Europe of today might be populated by an entirely dif- ferent race.- As Is not Infrequently the case a woman figured in the maelstrom. Armlnius, himself a citizen of Bome by the benign concession of the Ko- man emperor who had conquered him, eloped with the daughter of one Segestes. For this he was' de- nounced and proscribed. So he took to the forests where he roused and organized the wild hordes of Ger- man fighting men. Very crafty was Armlnius. He waited for the heavy rains. These coming in due season turned the coun- try Into bogs through which it became most difficult to maneuver regular troops. Then he directed the tribes near the Wcser and the Ems to take up arms in minor revolt against the Bomans. 5fhls was represented to Varus as a local disturbance which re- quired his immediate presence on the spot. Varus fell into the trap. Prompt- ly he set forth, starting his army on a line parallel with the Lippe. Here, not far from the source of the Ems, where the country is rugged and heavily wooded, with streams which are shal- low In the dry season, but which over- run their banks in the time of the rains, Arminlus staged his terrible en- terprise. No modern Hindenburg drew on the invaders with more guile. Varus was little more than an ordi- nary general, but he had with him a force of tho best-disciplined, most for- midable troops in the world—Boman legionaries to the number of some 14,- 000 supplemented by a thousand Ro- man cavalry and numerous light auxil- iaries. These were commanded by skillful officers, although the incompe- tent Varus Hud permitted his force to be encumbered by a rabble of camp followers and women who greatly im- peded the march. Into the dark for- est entered this doomed host. Once clear of the firm level ground came trouble. In the marshes the cavalry often found itself unable to proceed. Even the infantry must make roads of logs. The camp follow- ers got in the way of the engineers. And then suddenly came the word that the rear guard had been furiously at- tacked by tho barbarians. Confused and startled, Varus gave the command to press forward. His troops struggled on, but from the woods on either flank came heavy discharges of missiles. Some of the best of the cohorts were mowed down by enemies whom they were unable to see. On such ground the legions could not deploy. The Germanic auxiliaries began to desert. But Boman discipline held firm. Advancing until it reached something which approximated an open spot, the army, continually beset by harassing foes, stolidly pitched Its regulation Boman camp. The veteran officers of Varus were worried. While history is somewhat uncertain, on this point, it appears that during the night they induced him to Surrender command. When the army resumed its march on the morrow it was under the direction of Its best sol- diers but not even this change could save the condemned men of Bome. Arminlus was far too wise to risk his levies in open battle against the stern legions. He had no taste for the flight of javelins to be followed in- evitably by the shock of swordsmen, <>ach encased in hjlmet aud cuirass. He tormented the marchers with ar- rows and slings, while the angry gods of Germany poured down fresh tor- rents of rain. It was not until the Romans vrear^ ily attempting to breast a hill found themselves thrown into confusion by stumbling into barricades of felled trees, that Armlnius gave signal for a general attack. Through the gloom of the wood sounded the wild yells of the Germans as they poured showers of darts on the floundering legionaries, while Arminlus and his body guard) concentrating their fire against the horses of the cavalry, drove these wounded animals into the already shat- tered Roman ranks. Varus attempted a retreat toward the Llppe, only to find himself more .fiercely attacked than before. Vala, commanding the cavalry, rode off with all his squadrons, seeking safety for himself by abandoning his comrades, but the horse were over- powered in detail and killed to the last man. Varus, badly wounded, remained with the desperately fighting infantry. Finally, seeing all lost and fearing the punishment which would be meted out to him, he plunged upon his own sword and died. One lieutenant general fell fighting. The other surrendered, only to he put to instant death. Deep of the cup of suffering they had so often administered to others drank the Bomans. Weaker and weak- er grew the army. At last the eagles pierced and the great array which had marched forth in such pride either died fighting frantically or perished misera- bly In the morass. One small body of veterans like the guard of after years at Waterloo, formed on & mound and there beat off all attacks through a long, dreadful night. But at dawn, worn-out with hunger and wounds, they were charged by an overwhelming force and either butchered where they stood or offered up In fearful sacrifice on the altars of the old deities. \Never says Creasy, \was victory more decisive, never was the liberation of an oppressed people more instan- taneous and complete.\ Throughout Germany the Boman garrisons were assailed and cut off. Within a few weeks from the fall of Varus the soil of Germany was free, The German people had won the right to achieve their own destiny. A Word for the Dog. A\ correspondent of the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times, noting that several let- ters have appeared recently In the newspapers, complaining that farmers cannot keep sheep on account of dogs, replies that In Europe, Asia and in the southwestern part of the United States, sheep always are In the care of shep- herds and trained dogs, Sometimes the shepherd is a girl or a boy. If dogs are practically banished from the state by too drastic legislation, how can farmers save their crops from tres- passers, their fruit and vegetables from theieves? Automobiles have made it easy for thieves to escape with their plunder, if there is no dog to give alarm. Women and girls in the coun- try will have to carry firearms to pro- tect themselves against vicious tramps, if dogs are no longer with them. To keep a dog chained too closely or too long a time is real cruelty. Too Tame for Him. Mike, in his third year, had been, transplanted to the country by his careful parents. The move was made for Mike's sake; the city is no place for a growing boy. Mike, however, had not been consulted. During the first long day of Ills Fustic seclusion it rained, and Mike, forced to stay in- doors, made repeated trips t o the win- dows to look out. \Why Isn't anybody passing?\ he asked his mother, and again, \When is somebody going to go by?\ and yet again, \Nobody is going by now, either.\ \I want to go back home to Broad- way,\ said Mike, firmly.
