ODD SOUND EFFECTS.

Peculiar Results You May Obtain
with q Piece of. Cord.
Some remarkable effects are obtain
able from the use Of a piece of strong
string about two yards long. At one
end Of the string make loop big
enough to go easily over persons
head and at the other tiny loop only
big enough to hold an ordinary pencil.
Ask some one to cover his ears with his
fiat hands. Now pass the large loop Of
string over his head, and draw it tight
ly across the backs Of his hands. Keep
the string taut, and gently turn the
pencil in the small loop round and
round. The person with the loop about
his head will hear noise like the
firing Of q battery of guns. Then gem
tly flick the string with one hand, when
he will hear the boom of heavy gun.
Still holding the pencil in one hand,
fold a piece Of paper over the string
with the other and pass 1t gently back
ward and forward along the string.
The listener hears q representation OF
the washing Of the waves on the sea-
shore. Now take spoon or any thing
herd and with 1t scrape the tightened
string spasmodically. The effect pro-
nuced ID that Of heavy thunder.

Liberal Feeding As An Important
Item in Profitable Stock Feeding.

Other things being equal. the
most profitable animal is the one
kept every day at the maximum
gain consistent with health. When
the animal is starting for market it
should be kept improving daily un-
til sold. This gain should be at a
profit and the feeder should under
stand just whers he is at. This can
only be done by q careful study of
the cost of production, the require
ments accurately determined coupl-
ed with straight thinking.
A great deal of supposed disease
with which, live stock is affected is
nothing more or less than debility.
An animal than has been indiffer.
emily treated or poorly or unduly
fed is subjected to an unreasonable
strain and in consequence becomes
in measure at least, run down.
In this unthrifty condition it is apt
to manifest symptoms which are
often construed to mean positive
disease. A little better treatment
and more generous feeding would
in a majority ofcases prove a cure.

1t is said at Washington that the
river and harbor bill, known as the

amount this year, chiefly through
the opposition of Speaker Cannon.
Instead of $50, 100000 it is likely
to be held down to $4,OO0,O0O.
There are groans and predictions of
trouble over this policy, but it is
likely to prevail, for the Panama

Statistics show 100000 doctors in

cast on ten acres Of corn ground;

shower of rain, and in four days it
was up. 1t grew to height Of
eighteen to twenty inches. On the
4th day of November turned forty
head Of cattle into the field Of rape.
After husking out the corn this
field has furnished aboundant past
ure for the past twenty days and
came in handy at time when most
needed. estimate the gain on this
pasture at least 800 pounds of beef,
worth at present three cents per
pound. or a total value of $24.OO,
which is good enough. l husked
500 bushels of corn from the piece.
The land had been in clover pasture
for two years past and was broken
up this spring.
If possible let us have few re-

sowed in small grain; where q, heavy
growth Of straw developed.
