Another curious expression of the
pleasure Chinese find in pets is the ap.
plication of whistles to a whole flock
of pigeons. These whistles are at
tached to the tails of young pigeons
soon after their birth by means of fine
copper wire and when the birds fly
the wind blowing through the whistles
produces melodious open.air concert,
for the instruments in one flock are
all tuned differently. In Pelin, where
these instruments are manufactured
with great cleverness and ingenuity, it
is even possible to enjoy this aerial
music while sitting in ones room.
In spite of the seemingly large va
riety of whistles there are but two dis
tinct types-those consisting of oblong
bamboo tubes placed side by side, and
those consisting Of tubes attached to
gourd body or wind chest. They
are lacquered in yellow, brown, red
and black. The tube whistles have
two or three or else five tubes. In
some specimens the five tubes are
made of horn instead of bamboo
AS to the materials and implements
used in the manufacture of pigeon
whistles, there are small gourds that
serve for the bodies: halves of large
gourds of a particular species i'm.
ported from Shantung to Pekin for
this special industry, from which STOP
pers are made that fit into them, and
four kinds of bamboo, cylindrical
pieces of large species that grows
In the south, for making the mouth

hard bamboo for the large tubes them.
selves, and a soft kind for smaller
ones.
The separate pieces are fastened to.
gether by means of fish glue. A razor
ike knife is used for splitting the
bamboo sticks and a chisel to break
the harder pieces. For the general
work a dozen spatulas are required
and avis are used for drilling the
small mouthpieces.
Some OF the whistles, especially the
smaller ones, require much skill in
thelr making. One workman is said
to be able to turn out about three
specimens a day, which shows the diff.
ficulty Of the work.

DIAMOND PHILOSOPHY

A hit in the pinch is worth two OF
the other kind
To outguess the other fellow makes
your game easy and success a pipe.
The motto of the coach lines Is this:
open your eyes and keep on your
toes
The man who always runs em out
will make good in any game he
tackles
Luck is always a winning factor
until it runs into pluck, Then the
stuff is Off
The game is never lost until it's
over, and it's never over until the last
man Is out.
A home run is a fine thing. but the
diminutive bunt in tight place is not
to be despised.
The man who never makes an error
or mistake never makes a play that
is really worth while.
The sacrifice has won more games
than the home run. and the l0-cent
head lost fewer than the 10-cent arm.
The man who stretches a single in
TO an extra base is of more value than
he who hits three bases and stops at
second.

OPEN AIR TREATMENT.
Calves Are Healthier When Kept In
the Open.

For the past ~ years or more Hood
farm In Massachusetts has been rear
ing its choice Jersey calves and
carrying them through the winter by
what is termed the open air methods.
In describing this plan in a recent is
sue of the Practical Dairyman, Val
ency Il. Fuller, In speaking of the
calves and their treatment, says:
They have row of low, long sheds
facing south, with the roof sloping ia
the north. divided OFF into about Ave
sections. There are windows facing
the southern exposure and they, are
long horizontally. admitting the sun
light on bright days. There is door
which Is rarely closed through the
winter unless there are unusually bad
snow storms from the south or south
west.
Each shed or pen has a large yard
In which the calves run. Before win
ter sets in, all the calves except the
very young ones, and those not old
enough to be sent up to their Vermont
place, are divided off according to ages
and sex, and each lot has shed and
yard for its winter run. They are left
there until spring. having free access
to the yard every day, and 1t is won
derful to see how they will go out in
snowstorm, and scamper and enjoy
themselves. Manure from the horse
stables is put in daily, and of course
changed every day, and the calves find
1t an aid In warming their bodies at
night when they lie down.
This system has resulted in produc-
ing strong, rugged heifers and young
bulls, and helps to make larger cows.
When treated In this way, they are
not pampered. and while they are ex-
posed to the severe weather of Massa.
chusetts, sickness is very rare.
IF dairy farmers would have their
cows calve in the early fall, and treat
the calves in this way. they would
get splendid growth in the winter and
would be ready to put them out on pas
ture In the spring. thereby guarantee
ing good growth, rugged animals and a
good sized heifer when calving time
came.
Further along in the same row OF
sheds are the pens for the service
bulls, with yards adjacent.
1T is very rare to see the bulls in
the sheds, except in very inclement
weather, and then only for very
short time, and as they are never tied
up, they are usually roaming about
the yards. and the same may be sai6
of the heifer and bull calves. The
coats of the bulls grow very long, II
seems to me that this is Natures
way of treating the bulls. They re
main in these yards and pens summer
and winter. This prolongs life. makes
them vigorous and active, docile. and
is, in fact, conducive to health in every
way"

MONEY IN DRAFT HORSES.
The Most Profitable Horse for the
Farmer to Raise.

AS rule, the profitable horses to
grow on farm are the big draft
ers. The Drovers' Journal says that
draft horses bred now are OF greater
weight than they were decade ago.
as the trend of demand is for horses
OF weight to move ponderous loads at
a moderate pace. A 1.400-pound horse
Is hardly large enough for an ex.
presser, while the Industrial draft
horse weighs 900 to upwards of a ton.
A pair of extreme weight drafters
Will haul load of six to eight tons.
and are more economical, of mainte.
nance than two pairs OF lighter
horses that would be required to per.
form the same work.
The general farmer wants a horse
of docile disposition, adapted to work
on the farm and easily marketed at
good price. With so many heavy
agricultural machines on the farm,
the draft horse can be utilized to bet.
ter advantage in general field work
than can any other class.
Draft horses are free sellers at good
prices from weanlings to mature
classes. Their superb qualities have
been acquired by centuries of method
zeal selection and breeding, and they
have achieved permanent place In
the commercial nations. Prices may
huctuate with the times, but good
draft horses will always return the
farmer reasonable profit on the cost
