MUSIC AT SEA.

Conditions Under which ships Sails
Sometimes Sing.
| Some curious facts have been noted
| with regard TO the sound conducting
qualities of ships sails. When rem

A ship was once sailing along the
coast Of Brazil. far out of sight Of
land. Suddenly several of the crew,
] while walking along tho deck noticed
that when passing and repassing n

| great distinctncss tho sound of bells
| Ginning sweet music, as though being
rung but short distance away.
Dumfounded by this phenomenon.

cry 10 their shlpmntes, but none Of

to tho origin OF these seemingly mys.
terious sounds which came 10 them
ocross the wafer.
Months afterward upon returning to
Brazil, the crew determined to satisfy
their curiosity. Accordingly they men
Toned the circumstance 20 their
friends ana were informed that ut the
time when the sounds were heard the
bells In the cathedral CT San Salvador,
on the coast, had been ringing to eel

Tored by gentle, steady breeze, had
travelled a distance OF upward Of 100
miles over the smooth water and had
been brought TO q focus by the sails ut

sweet sounds were first heard.

fiabit-forming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many
of the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some journals of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been of great benefit in arousing needed
attention to this subject, 1t has. in q

most intelligent people avoiding. snch

Cottonseed and linseed meals have
been standard feeds for several dec

world is well established, and as good
wine needs no BUSH so they ought to
need no further demonstration of their
merits. yet they are still too little used,

BARREL STRAY PUMP.


Fitted with hose and bamboo extension
rods for orchard spraying.l
An ordinary fifty gallon whisky or
kerosene barrel forms an excellent
though inexpensive tank for holding
the spray. The pump, according to It's
design. can be inserted In the end or
the side of the barrel The barrel may
then be mounted TO suit the operator
on sled or ON two wheels, or it may
be placed in cart or wagon. A small
sled can be made in few minutes by
spiking some plank across couple Of
pieces by inches, or, better, 3 by
inches with the ends rounded TO serve
as runners. Such an outfit can be
drawn through narrow rows OF pota-
toes, vegetables or other crops, where
a wagon could not 20. The ordinary
two wheeled cart makes a very con-
venient rig to use with the barrel
Eprayer. One man can easily drive the
cart and do HE pumping, while one or
two additional hands can apply the
spray from lhe ground.
Various forms Of tanks can be mount
cd on two horse wagon and thus en-
able a larger quantity Of spray to be
carried into the field. These tanks are
sometimes square or rectangular. Some
orchardisfs prefer to mount large
hogshead either end up or on its side
and to pump the spray from that. AS
n rule. however. the best style is either
rectangular tank or a half round
tank, fat on top. With the rectangular
or half round tank an ordinary barrel
pump can be used, but 1t is much bet
ter to use one Of the larger tank pumps
especially made for the purpose. This
can be mounted either on top Of the
tank or on platform at either end.
The regular tank pump has suction
tube of whatever length Is desired,
which draws the spraying mixture
from the tank
One of fhe great advantages of the
tank pump outfit Is the convenience Of
arranging an elevated platform. Where
tall trees are to be sprayed it Is al
