MUSIC IN WAR.
The Various Purposes for Which Har-
monte Sounds Are Utilized
Militarily.

To the present day, in all the armies
of the world, musical war signals are
considered not only useful, but abso-
lutely indispensable. The infantry
drill regulations of the United States
army give the music and significance
of more than 60 trumpet signals-calls
of warning, of assembly, of alarm, Of
service, with such names as guard
mounting" drill, stable, +" ito arms"
fire" retreat" church" fatigue"
'attent ion," forward" halt" quick
time" double time," charge" Gle
down." "rise," etc., besides a dozen CT
more drum-and-ife signals, all of which
must be known to the soldiers, to
whom they are definite language, in
the senses of Wagnerian leitmotif.
Everyone is familiar with such express
sions as drumming up recruits"
drumming out deserters," and so on.
Besides its importance for signaling
purposes, there are no fewer than five
other uses for music in the army. A
few words about each of these must
suffice. Zoeller, the African traveller,
says that among all savage and half
civilized races, song and dance are con-
sidered as indispensable aids to military
training, as drilling and drumming in
our armies" The marvellous precision
with which these primitive races eX-
ecute their war songs and dances has
been commented upon by many admir-
ing explorers; and as the value of per-
feet driN and cooperation is we'll I'M
derstood, music, which supplies the
regularity of rhythm, is seen to be of
paramount Importance. When our
armies parade they always do so to the
measured beat of military band or drum
and fife.
Another very curious use of music
in war is suggested by the word panic"
The historian Rowbotham says that "all
panic is derivable from trumpet-like
sound, if we may trust the derivation
of the word, which refers the first
panic to the time when the great Pan
put to flight an army b. sudden
Shout Many savages use wild songs
and shouts, or drums and horns, to in
spire terror and to create panic in the
enemy's ranks. So horrible is the
sound of this music, both in itself and
by its bloody associations, that it is

POULTRY DISEASES.
quite a Number of Them, Including
Roup, Cholera, Influenza and
Diphtheria, Are Contagious.

Drs. Smith and Moore, of the bureau
of animal industry, Washington, D. c.,
have made important Investigations on
the above subject. They find that
"black head" in turkeys, diphtheria,
cholera and roup in fowls are con-
tagious. They also believe that So
called roup, influenza and sometimes
cholera are different stages of the one
disease - diphtheria. However this
may be, it is stated that diphtheria is
infectious, and it May be transmitted
to children. Therefore the great i'm
portance of separating all sick fowls
and combining then&o some outbuilding,
keeping the children away. Doctoring
sick fowls is very Improbable business,
and there is seldom any reason why
the fowls should be sick, provided you
have done your part. Your part is to
keep the roost clean and free from
lice. Give clean water daily. Fill up
all low places where water is apt to
collect and clear away all rubbish
burning it is the proper thing. Fur
nish good, sharp grit for the fowls, and
don't get the poultry SO fat that the or
gans will be so clogged that they can
not perform their normal duties.
Make the roost tight and dry and pro-
vide convenient busting places. Make
the fowls exercise by scratching in
litter. In fact, this last point and clean
fresh water will go long way toward
keeping the fowls in good health.
There is no kind of stock on the farm
that is more healthy than fowls when
they have proper care. Too many peo-
pie try to crowd 100 fowls In too small
a house. This not only lessons the
number Of eggs, but is apt to breed dis
case as well. The fowls in the center of
crowded perch will get too warm,
and therefore colds will follow. A
house 20 by 30 feet is not bit too large
for 100 fowls. The proper way is to
divide the fowls up into smaller focls
of say 10 to 20 fowls each, and separate
them during the cold weather at least.
