Ghis q small flock of sheep should be

TO this, fresh mutton OF the best quality

farmers far in the interior is quite 3

One OF the best ways to bring up an
old barren field TO good state Of fer

HEIGHTS OF WAVES.
A Great Deal Of Nousen,e Has Been Write


About Them.
All sorts of nonsense has been writ
ten about waves "mOunttin high
The truth is thlt when IL ship is plung o
Ing down the bac.5 Of one wave AMI is

rail is close to the water. the next
wave looks as If it would sweep COM
pletely over the vessel and tkerefo fore

tenant Gu through says: ..We fad re-
ports o: heights OF 100 feet from hollow
to crest, but no verified measurement
The highest reliable measurements
are from Al to 4S teet-in itself a very
remarkable height. Waves having u
greater height than 80 feet are not
often encountered. The height Of
wind waves is governed by what is
cllled the .sfetch." That means their
distance from the place where their
formation begins. Thomas Stevenson,
author Of the Lighthouse Illumina-
ton and father of the well-known
writerof our day, Rob srt Louis Steven
son, gives the, following formula as
applicable when the fetch is not less
than six sea miles: The height of the
wave in feet is equal to 1.5 multiplied
by the square root OF the fetch in
nautical miles" Let US suppose that
in 4 gale OF wind the wav s began to
form 400 miles from the ship you are
on. The square root OF 400 miles i, 20.
which multiplied by 1.5 gives 80 feet
as tie height of the waves around the
ship.
Now it is we'll known that in every
storm there are occasionally groups
OF three or four waves considerably
larger than the others. Captain
Lecky is of the opinion that these are
caused by the increased force of the
wind in the squalls VIII .ch are 81 feat
ure OF every big blow. Now, waves
travel at a rate which is the result Of
their size. Waves 200 feet long from
hollow to hollow tr vel about 10 kuots
per hour; those Of 400 feet in length
make q knots; and those of sou feet
rush forward lrresistibly at 80 knots.
Let US suppose, now. wave 400 feet

The Irvine Rings.

Well, farmers, get ready to be
pinched a little harder this year
The twine gang are already on deck
We get the following from a Bos-
ton paper:
"All the manufacturers of cordage
and binding twine in this country
have within the past few days formed
an association, which is calculated
to do away with former differences
between individual companies and
create more harmony of interests as
well as improve the general condition
of the industry About thirty-five
establishments are engaged in MAX
ing cordage and binding twine, and
the formation of the association is
to avoid competition in the buying
of fibres. which heretofore has forced
excessive prices to the injury not on
ly of the manufacturing interests,
but also at the expense of the con-
sumers OF rope and twine.
''This combination is entirely diff
ferent from the old pool. The dis
tribution OF fibres will be carried on
upon more equitable basis, and the
tendency of over-production will be
minimized, a result that will proba-
bly, cause some mills to run on short
time''
