but no cars were furnished to them.
They sent word to another railroad,
and one morning when cars were ready
a dozen teams went to work hauling
wheat from the elevator to the cars.
The shipments were made, and after
that they had all the cars needed. The
extent TO which: th!s plan Of co-opera-
ton is growing over the west is re-
markable. and it is thus that lars"
portion OF the wheat will soon Lc han
died. 1t is probably the most signia-
cant feature i'll the wheat growing ii
the plains region.
Many of the western states are max
ing their own Irvine. u considerable
item in the harvest. Ali the bundles
are bound with it, and a vast sum is
spent for this one portion of tie har-
vest machinery. The convic.s of the
state prisons are put at the work of
making the material.
The harvest has gone on through
the long hot days. At night lanterns
have been hung on the harness of the
horses, and the reapiag has continued.
1t is the rich season OF the year for
the prairie dweller. Little wonder that
he enters on it so enthusiastically.

Novel Plan For Securing GRAPHIC.
phone Records of Their Notes.
Based on experiments conducted by
Professor Sylvester ID. Judd a project
is mooted among scientific men to Sc
cure graphoplone records of the songs
Of birds, the roars and cries Of mann
mails and all available animal notes
for the purpose primarily OF assisting
nature study in American schools, says
the Saturday Evening Post. DR.. Judd
inaugurated the Work by securing the
songs of several species Of birds. Meet
ing With some difficulty in obtaining
the recording cylinder necessary for
his purpose he succeeded in manufac-
turing one himself and then patiently
taught a captive brown thras,ler to
sing into the horn. At first til" sound
Of the revolving apparatus disvoncert-
ed the thrasher. Removing the record
ing style, the scientist let the cylinder
revolve indefinitely until the bird be-
came accustomed to the whir. After
a little the thrasher, known also as the
brown thrush. resumed its singing and
then the graphophone was adjusted to
secure record. From a near by hiding
place the ornithologist controlled the
revolutions of the cylinder by means
Of wire, shutting off the current the
moment the thrasher's song became
weak or faltering. In this way was Sc
cured perfect record of the birds
exquisite melody. Its volume and tim
bre were pronounced faultless by the
American Ornithologists' union. before
whose session the graphophone record
was produced.
With equal success Dr.. Judd has
been experimenting With other birds.
and his achievements are attracting
attention in the scientific world. The
educational possibilities of the under
taking are generally conceded. Nature
study in schools just now is receiving
more attention than ever before in
history. particularly along lines of di-
rect economic interest. Now that many
species of valuable birds are threat
ened with determination it is regarded
as especially important that the grow
ing generation be made conversant
with American bird life. Students
taught from childhood the sounds Of
birds faithfully reproduced by graphic
phones in the schoolroom would be
able instantly to recognize various spe-
cies singing in the woods and fields.

CARLYLE and His Home.

When the great writer Carlyle was
engaged to Miss Welsh the latter in
duced her mother to consent that Car
lyle should live with both of them and
share the advantage of an established
house and income. But Carlyle an
swered Miss Welsh's proposal by say
ing that two households could not live
as if they were ore and that he would
never have any right enjoyment of his
wife's company till she was ''all his
own," adding that the moment he was
master of house the first use he
would make of it would be to slam the
door against nauseous intruders
