Musical Sand.

Mr.. Carus Wilson found that fine sane
from Studland bay, which was sonorous
on the beach, but mute when carried
home in a box, gave out shrill note
when struck in teacup. The glazed
sides Of the cup increased the intensity
Of vibration Of the sand by increasing
the number of polished surfaces in con-
tact, and this was proved by putting the
same sand in various vessels with rough
interiors. and by lining the glazed and
polished vessels with silk, when it be-
came mute again. Sand of the Eigg
type, possessing the physical conditions
necessary for the production of music
in great perfection, are musical in re-
ceptacles of almost any kind or form.
The smallest quantity of musical sand
from which Mr.. Wilson got true note
was thimbleful of Eigg sand. Less
perfect musical sand, such as that Of
Studland bay, was found to be usually
mute, except in stu or in vessels Of
hard, glazed interiors and of certain
definite form. Some .ssulkyn sands not
only needed vessels of hard. glazed in
teriors and Of definite form, but also a
box or small pedestal of wood--a coax
er'-on which the vessel had to be
placed before the notes became audible.
A "sulky' sand could be rendered far
more musical by being sifted, washed
and boiled, giving out notes, after this
treatment, without the aid of the coax

The Glnwuorm Cavern

The greatest wonder of the antipodes
is the celebrated glowworm cavern,
discovered in 1891 in the heart of the
Tasmanian wilderness. The cavern or
caverns (there appears to be series of
such caverns in the vicinity, each sepa-
rate and distinct) are situated near the
town of Southport, Tasmania, in lime
stone bluff. about four miles from Ida
bay The appearance of the main cav
ern is that of an underground river, the
entire floor Of the subterranean passage
being covered with water about foot
and half in depth. These wonderful
Tasmanian caves are similar to all cav
ems found i'll limestone formation, with
the exception that their roofs and sides
literally shine with the light emitted
by the millions of glowworms which in
habit them. Louis Republic.

There are women in this advanced age

A memorial meeting was held few
days ago in honor of man who had
been prominent in public work. His
former colleagues and intimate friends
filed the large platform. Among them

her crepe veil. One after another the

eloquence at the altar of his memory.

speech than the rest, followed the his
tory of his life from the time of his
birth, Sin the troublous days when all
Europe was aghast at the sight of Ma

to universal throne.
But the most important event of his

he met, as he afterward said, the first

A young woman of st. Joseph, Mo,
was walking down the principal street
a few days ago, when, seeing a young
man in the passing throng, she went up
to him, threw her arms around his neck
and kissed him. Then she disengaged
herself and ran, blushing, away, while
the young man looked at her in pleased
amazement. She afterward explained
that the young man was an utter stran-
ger, but when my eyes met his, and he
looked so good, SO noble and SO true, I
wanted to kiss him, and did" 1t is
scarcely necessary to say that every

studying how to look good and noble
and true when he goes down the street

IN The KINGS GARDEN.

"oh, not for long, an, not for long shall / be
lingering
In the garden of the kingi"
So blithely and so proudly sang the rose,
"For my lady found mo fair
And will pluck me for her hair,
And shall go with her where She goes.'
81 care not, Oh care not for the king or for
the queen,
Though the fairest ever SEEM,
Sang the primrose from the bed across the
way,
'For the poet passed along
And woye me in song,
And shall live forever in his lay"
But the violet beside them only bent its head
and smiled,
For it knew a little child
Had stolen to the corner where it grew.
She had named it best of all
And fairest, though so small.
And crowned it with kiss. But no one
knew.

TurniPs.
CONDENSED from FARXIRs' REVIEW Stan
ographic Report.
At the Iowa dairy convention A. X.
Hyatt spoke on ''Turnips." He had
been growing turnips ever since he
was q boy. In the summer of 1858 he
worked by the month for q farmer.
The farmer gave him an acre of land,
and Hyatt Immediately planted it with
roots. He was given a certain amount of
time in which to work his acre. For the
products he received S164. IS, and this
was more than he received for his sum-
mer's work with the farmer. The next
yearhe raised $500 worth of cabbages,
andso he has gone on raising roots BY
roots Mr.. Hyatt means turnips. The
more turnips he had fed to his stock,
the more money he had made. The
best ration for a COW is kindness. He
believes in kindness to keep his COWS
happy, and turnips to keep them
healthy. There is no crop that can be
taken from the soil that will exhaust
1t SO little as turnips.
Q.-How did you raise those 1000
bushels of turnips?
Al began in July with two acres.
[ found they were very rich, and 1
made them very fine and put on some
ashes and some hen house manure that
had no weed seeds in it. The next
spring it came on very wet and rained

Pumps for Irrigation.

There are three distinct types of
~pumps-the plunger, or piston pump.
which includes the windmill, steam
pumps and many devices of power
pumps; the rotary aud the centrifugal.
The plunger pumps of necessity move
the water slowly, as the water only
travels at the speed of the piston. The
plunger pump also is designed espe-
cially for handling clear water. Grit.
sand and foreign material cut the pis-
tons and barrel of the pump. yet while
these pumps will move water slowly
they will move it a long distance OF
against heavy pressure when properly
designed.
The pump of next greatest capacity
is the rotary pump of these there are
many different designs. They handle
water much faster than plunger pumps.
but as it is essential that the working
parts of these pumps should fit closely
there is necessarily great friction and
corresponding loss of efficiency, and of
necessity these pumps are short lived,
and especially when pumping water
that is muddy or gritty.
The pumps of greatest capacity for
low lifts are the centrifugal pumps
These pumps are built with no close
fitting parts-no valves-consequently
no friction of the parts of the machin-
cry, and are not affected by sand, mud
or gritty water; hence for irrigation,
where the lift does not exceed fifty
feet. centrifugal pumps are recognized
by all hydraulic engineers as the most
efficient, durable. cheapest and best,

Rotation Of Cropa.

ASOSoSsOn ~ SAO~
There is no doubt that rota-
ton of crops. is both wise and
necessary. Practical experience has
demonstrated its efficacy, and
science discovers the reasons for
the method. Our various agricult-
ural crops differ more or less widely
in the proportions of the different ele-
ments of plant food they require
They also vary as to their depth of
root. Some plants feed very near the
surface. Others search into the sub
soil for its treasure of nutrition.
Hence it is quite plain that shallow
rooted plants should follow deep rooted
ones upon the same ground. Thereby
its greatest bulk of soil is drawn upon
for its supplies of food. Likewise crops
that severely exhaust potash in the soil
should not be succeeded by crops
of same feeding characteristics.
Rather let nitrogen or phosphoric acid
consumers follow the potash feeders.
Ofcourse it will be understood that all
crops require . certain quantity of
every variety of the elements of plant
food. The point is that some crops
draw more heavily upon one ingredi-
ent,and others upon another, and SO on.
A wise rotation consists in alternating
one class with another. Under any plan
of rotation each piece of land should
be invariably under sod for at least a
year or two. In this way the essential
organic matter or humus is supplied
to the soil. Plans of rotation vary much
in different sections of our country.
One good rotation is first the up
turned sod planted to corn, then
potatoes, third year any garden vege-
table, fourth year an early crop to be

Sorghum as Feed.

In view of the failure of the corn
crop, this is an interesting question,
says Prot. Georgeson in Kansas Farmer.
1t is the part of true economy to use as
feed whatever the farm produces that
may be suited for the purpose, and the
careful feeder naturally desires to
know what may be expected from IN
tried grains, like sorghum seed and
o corn. These two grains are by
no means uncommon products. but corn
is usually SO abundant taat little else
is thought of as feeding stuffs. Sorg-
hum see and broom corn are very
similar in their composition and feed
ing value, and can. for all practical
purposes, be considered equal. Their
value will vary with Indifferent varieties.
a light colored and thin shelled grain
being usually better than dark
colored seed. 1t is TO be noticed that
sorghum seed and broom corn seed are
both OF them slightly richer in protein
or flesh producing material, than corn,
and that they have on the other hand,
slightly less of the carbohydrates and
fat. This would indicate that as a feed
for growing stock. concerning which
information is desired, that they are at
least equal to corn, if not better. But
they fall considerably below wheat,
oats and barley in their contents Of
nutrients. l should say the sorghum
and broom corn seed can take the
place of corn in all feeding operations
on the farm, but the grain being small
and hard, they should be ground be-
fore they are fed, but when compared
with wheat, barley and oats, these
latter grains take the lead, especially
when fed to young growing Stock and
poultry.

Big Blue Stem.

The Latin name of this plant is
Andropogon Provincialis. The South
Dakota station gives the following de-
scription of it: Roots perennial, very
coarse, from short, thick root stocks.
Stems large, three to six feet high,
more or less purplish, branched; each
branch bearing at its top a cluster of
two to five somewhat hairy, usually
purplish spikes; leaves large, fat,
rsughish, usually a large cluster of
root leaves at the base of the
stem; spikelets of two sorts, one
sessile and awned, the other
stalked and awnless. This grass
may be known by its large pur-
pie stems, not in dense punches, and
clusters of purplish, somewhat hairy
spikes. 1t and some of its near rela-
tives are sometimes called Turkey
foot grass" because of the fancied re-
semblance of the clusters of spikes to
a turkeys foot. It is found on rich
prairie soil. In South Dakota it is
much more common in the Sioux val
ley region than elsewhere, but is
gradually spreading to the westward.
Some places along the Missouri
river are already we'll covered by it.
1t is one of our most i'm
portant native grazing and hay
producing grasses. Under ordinary
conditions it produces an abun-
dance of root leaves. When the grass
is cut before the stems become woody,
stock eat them as readily as the leaves.
It is we'll worth pasturing in every
possible way. A specimen analysed
gave the following air dry substance
