PLAN TO UTILIZE NOISES.

The proposition OF Mrs. Amelia
Holbrook before the Professional
Woman's League that children should
be taught not to scream off the key,
but that mothers should carry tun-
ing fork and give them the proper
note. or, if there are several OF then'
they should be taught to cry in uni
son, is not. to acoustic experts. pre-
poSterous proposition.
We know little OF the laws and
properties of sound and what might
be done with discordant and unrelated
noises" says Mr.. KitchingS. who
makes acoustic apparatus for inStruc-
ton in physics. Take tuning fork
OF large size and set it vibrating. and
one in the same key across the room
will soon give out the same sound The
disagreeable noises OF city-the roar
of wagons. street cars. the L road.
the cries of peddlers-might, If prop
erly attuned to each other be rem
dered agreeable instead of discordans
and a nuisance. A municipal league
of harmony. like the one for art,
might in time bring it about. There
is considerable waste energy in noise
that might be utilized. For example,
it would be possible to arrange the
combination of a safe lock SO as to
open it by singing a certain melody.
The notes would set corresponding
metals vibrating; these would COM
nunicate with electric power. which,
IN turn. would move the turnbrils of
the lock and the bolts would turn
back.
"A set of whistles on board ship
might be arranged to stand for the
different points OF the compass. In
"a fog the whistle corresponding to
the direction in which the vessel was
sailing would be blown. On board
other ships there would be set OF
reverberators indicating in the same
wav the points OF the compass. By
running over these the one in har-
n1ony with the whistle would be pick
ed out ard at once inform the second
vessel of the direction OF the first ship
and 50 a collision would be avoided.

its consorts and the enemy be unable
to read the signals"

Diseases of Sheen.

The diseases which have been found
most troublesome and stubborn are
those occasioned by parasites. OF
these there are several different spe-
els
ScaD is caused by a parasite. but it
is external rather than the most dan
gerous, which are internal The latter
are: Stomach worms. lung worms.
intestinal worms. tape worms and
nodular worms.
For tape worm OF. aG.. male. fern
seems to be the favorite remedy. a
teaspoonful being a dose. Two tea
spoonfuIs of powdered areca nut is
also a good remedy. One teaspoonful
of turpentine given in milk is said to
be effectual. Most of these should he
given after fasting and followed with
a laxative
The latest remedy for stomach
worms and nodular worms is what Is
known as the iron remedy. Give in
grain sulphate of iron (copperas.
sometimes called green vitriol and
must not be confounded with blue Wit
riob, dose being ten ounces of the
drug to thrty-fye lambs. Give daily
two weeks. then stop one week and
give again. Mix in water and apply
the water to the grain.
Gasoline is also considered a good
remedy for stomach worms. Some
danger accompanies this remedy, as
lambs often die after having been
given doses Of gasoline. \ dose con
slsts of one tablespoonful in four
ounecs of milk.
A solution of per cent coal tar is
also a good worm remedy given in
doses Of TWO II four ounces.

Box for Carrying Eggs.

aSo1 lot NhTEgiuE IGES'
Most poultrymcn are familiar with
the egg carriers used on the market
and those who have considerable
quantity of eggs to handle use these
carriers; the farmer, however. Is IN
the habit Of carrying eggs in BASKET
and often many of them become bro
ken resulting in considerable loss. The
illustration shows cue of the boxes
which may be made from cheap mate
rial and which will answer as well as
the boxes sold for the purpose. Any
grocer who handles quantities of
shipped eggs will give a customer
some of the cardboard filler such as
are UP in the crates; then buy some
cracker boxes and fashion neat box
like the one shown, cutting the paste
board filters with n sharp knife 50
that they will fit the wooden box.
Boxes made to hold one dozen eggs
and Others TO hold two dozen will be
large enough. These boxes ought to
have covers with hasp coming down
over staple so that the box may he

To Move Wire Fences.

1t often becomes necessary TO move
a fence from one part of the farm TO
another. 1t is q simple natter to move
posts. but the wire presents more
difficult problem. The most common
method is to slowly and laboriousiy
roll it up OH barrel. haul it TO the
place where it is wanted and as slowly
unroll it again. 4 much better and
quicker way is to take a couple of old
wheels. the larger the better, and fas-
ten them together by mailing pieces Of
board to the spokes next the axle.
The wheels when fastened together
should be about two feet apart. Now
take two pl; nks and fasten firmly to
the sides of the wagon box so they
will extend backward about four feet
Mount the wheels on these planks so
they will turn easily. Fasten one end
of the wire to one of the boards that
connect the wheels and drive astride
of the wire. One man turns the wheel
while the other drives and the wire
can be relied up as fast as the team

No Breed of Black sheep.


A black sheep belongs to no particu-
lar breed. though at times he appears
II, the fiocks of nearly all the pure
breeds. In England he is more com
monty seen in the Suffolk fiocks, and
it is a noteworthy fact that the suffolk
breeders have all they can do to keep
the blackish and grag-b!ack tendency
from asserting itself both in the skin
and fleece Black sheep frequently
appear in pure bred Leicester flocks.
and to some extent in Lincoln and
Devon Longwools. and the tendency
is noted i'm the black spots en- the skin:
more frequently seen on the cars of
even the best bred sheep of these long
wool families, thus terrifying the be-
lief expressed by DR.. Henry Stewnr..
that the tendency TO black in the Lei
cester owes it's origin to the black
ram known to have been used by
Blackwell in the perfection of the
breed 100 years ago. And 1t is not IN
reasonable to suppose that the black
sheep which now and then appear in
the Down and lCng-wocl breeds, near
" all of which have been more or less
improved through the use of Blackwell
blood. are traceable to that great
