String Thunder.

A persons hands being held over his
ears, let another person pass a piece of
string, say six feet long, around the
head and hold both ends of the string
in his hand. By drawing the fingers or
nails of the other hand over the string
results almost startling in their intensity
may be produced on the ears of the per-
son whose head is so bound. Sharp
peals of thunder, changing into distant
and prolonged rumbling, are effects that
may be readily given. A good deal of
amusement may be had from experiments
like this in the home circle and among
guests. Courier Journal.

Dairy Cows and Their Feed.

believe, says ". A. Brown in the
New York Tribune, there are many dis
couraged farmers, who for years have
been vainly trying to get out of debt,
who would find in well managed dairy
their best opportunity. If the cream
can be sold to factory and the milk
kept at home the wife will he relieved of
the labor of making the butter, but
with suitable apparatus and good help
farm dairy of from ten to thirty cows
can be managed very comfortably, and
rather than sclbthe milk l would advise
that the butter be made at home, for
with the milk the he:fer calves can be
raised to keep up the herd, and when
fed to pigs in co. nection with other
foods pound of pork can be made for
each ten to fifteen pounds of milk, and
this will pay for quite percentage of
the food OF the COWS. After many
years of experience I recommend grade
JERSEYS fer the butter dairy. The best
way to start-particu' arly if short of
money-is to get few good native cows
and choice Jersey bull and begin grad
ing up. As rule, most Jersey cows
have rather small teats, 80 it is we'll to
select large-tcated COWS for the founda-
ton of your herd. Fortunately Jersey
bulls can be bought cheap, for the sup
ply is in excess Of the demand.
I believe it to be true also that grades
from thfee-quarters to seven-eights
Jersey blood are as valuable for the
dairy as higher grades or thoroughbreds,
and dairyman can, in few years,
raise herd of grades that will produce
fifty per cent. more of butter and Of
better quality. There is strong pref
udice among farmers against this breed
becafse of their smaH sizs, but long exs

Homemade Fertilizers.

We believe, says writer in the Indiana
Farmer, that farmers can make much of
their fertiizing material a great deal
cheaper than they can buy it, where the
raw bone can be bought for eight or ten
dollars a ton. We know that fertilizer
manufacturers will take issue with us
upon this point, but we have tried it and
know whereof we speak when We assert
than when the material is at hand and
can be bought cheaply the farmer can
make mighty good wages while prepar-
ing his own fertilizer.
You can work up bone quicker with
acid than you can with lime and ashes,
but it is more expensive and isn't quite
as good.
! prefer to work up what bone I can
get with ashes, lime and sal-soda in the
following manner: In one corner of the
garden or barn lot, shovel off the soil
down until you reach the clay. The size
of excavation depends upon the amount
of bone you have to use up. For a ton
of bone, place 4x6 feet would be
about the right size. Then set up four
posts, one at each corner Of your excav-
alton, and with some old refuse boards
plank it up three or four feet above the
ground, and you have your pit complete.
Begin filing by first throwing in strong
unleached ashes to the depth of three or
four inches. Then lay in bone some
thing like placing sweet potatoes in bed
to sprout, crowding them up close to-
gether. Cover this with ashes and
sprinkle over 8 common pailful OF air
slaked lime, or il it is unslaked smaller
amount will do. Pulverized sal-soda is
next added, say about quart to each
layer of above size, then put in bone
again, and then continue as above until
the supply is used up. With every layer
of ashes sprinkle on two or three pals of
water, or enough to thoroughly wet the
entire mass. Every few days the pit
must be watered, otherwise it will take
too much time for the bones to rot. If
properly attended to it will be ready to
use in thr. e months. Every ton of bone
used will make two tons of fertilizer that
will analyze as high as any $50 bonedust
you can buy on the market.
