Every one knows that windows will
rattle when n loud noise is made in u
room. but very few persons know that
4 glass can be broken by shouting into
it.
Any ordinary glass which has clear
tone will do for this trick, and the ex-
act nature Of IFS tone can readily be
ascertained by passrssg. a lnoistened
finger around it's rim. This poiuthriifgs,
settled, the performer should hold tho
glass in front of his mouth and shout
into it in Il tone about an octave higher
than that of the glass. The result will
be that the glass will break immedi-
ately, and for the reason that it will
not have strength enough TO resist the
force eNerted against it by the waves
Of air. The thinner the glass the more
easily will it be broken.

cups. AS soon as sufficient portion of
the mir has been exhausted from the
can the teats are placed in the cups and
the stop cocks opened, which causes
the teats to be drawn inward, making
an alright joint. The suction then
draws the milk through the hose into
the can. A pneumatic ring in each cup
prevents injury to the COW and an out
cr adjustable cylinder prevents the teat
from being drawn in too far. The lower
portion of each cup is glass, which per-
mits the operator to watch the proper
working of the device. The pump and
gauge are arranged to be easily applied
to any milk-can.

Suggestion for Apple Growers.

Suggestion for Apple Growers.
Any apple grower within reasonable
distance of Il large city will find it
profitable to sort his fruit carefully and
make up small packages of the finest.
It makes little difference in what form
she package is, although 1t should, so
far as possible, conform to the shapes
familiar in the city where the fruit is
to be sold. Small baskets holding a
half peck of fine fruit will bring the
grower much more money than half
again the quantity carelessly selected
and packed in an ordinary basket. The
second grade of fruit, or rather the
best grade after the finest specimens
are taken out, may be put up in larger
packages for market. BY the use of
the selected fruit and the small pack
age the high-class trade is reached and
the grower puts into his pocket the
profit that usually gets into the pocket
of the middleman.

Bullets seem rather grim kind OF

Keep Poultry Houses Dry,

A prime requisite is to keep the poul-
try house dry. AS fresh air leads in
this direction, 1t goes without saying
that plenty of fresh air should be cir
culating all the time. If the houses
are dry, that dreaded disease, roup, is
not apt to get foothold. The houses
should be thoroughly aired every day,

The steeple of the parish church at
Chesterfield, England, is often called
the ''corkscrew' steeple, for it has got
quite big twist. This is due to the
action of the sun OH the wooden and
iron materials, and the warping is more
pronounced in the case of Chesterfield
church than in any other church in the
country. Burnstable and Bristol and
