No Drums in he Middle Aces.

AS we come to the middle ages
when the nations of modern Europe
were struggling into existence, we
find that. at first, the drum was not
used at all. So, although melody had
been known and practiced for many
centuries. rhythm had been quite for
gotten. For what there is left to us
of the music of the middle ages con,
tains no bars. and we know that it
was lowly and monotonously chanted.
without the least AGENT.
In the 18th century, however,
things began to improve, more parti.
cularly as the Crusaders brought Eu.
rope all sorts of percussion instru
ments from the east. Various kinds
of drums, tambourines and cymbals
were then seen in Europe for the first
time since the days of savages, and
they have been used, with very little
change, ever since.-From the St
Nicholas article From the Drum OF
the Savages to the Great Orchestra

Ellen Terry, in her account of her

how he answered her.
What have l got out of it?" said
Henry, stroking his chin and smiling
slightly. LET me see Well, a
good cigar, good glass of wine-good
friends" Here he kissed my hand
with courtesy. Always he was so cour-

tie one of kissing my hand, were so
beautifully timed. They came just be-
fore the spoken words, and gave them
a peculiar value.

KILLING QUACK GRASS.

| A year ago last fall I visited q
farm in southern Michigan that had
been worker on shares for several
years. A man was drilling wheat and
he had two boys helping him to lift
the drill hoes when they got tangled

them busy and the birds were busy
picking up the wheat that spilled each
time tooth was lifted.
Last summer, just before wheat
harvest, visited that farm again and
l found a quack grass meadow with
| very little wheat in it. The quack
and wheat together would make prob
ably two tens Of hay per acre, but 1t
would not pay to harvest the crop
and thresh 1t for wheat.
Quack grass may be killed without
great expense by taking advantage Of
dry time in summer. A good disc
harrow weighted so it will cut four
inches deep, and a weeder with han
dies so you can lift it, are the best
tools for the purpose that have ever
tried.
go over the ground with the disc
beth ways; this loosens the roots and
brings many Of them to the surface;
then use the weeder to pull the roots
together in windrows, then turn and
go lengthwise of the windrows to
draw the roots into punches. They
are then loaded on wagon and
drawn OF and piled to rot for ma
nure.

SHOOTING TIE WHALE
tIaTroors with Explosive POINTS Els
charged from Carmen.

In the old days from tie pursuit
Ct whales fer IL and bone Was Il pro
. htable industry these animals were
! killed by Il n&rpoon hurled at them
/ by the hand. Small boats, dispatched
from aship and propelled with oars,
| approached 4 whale, and it was some
times feasible to deliver 4 fatal blow
Much skill as we'll as muscular
strength was required, of course, and
! it was necessary to run great risks,
| because the weapon could not be
welded effectively unless the boat
was very near the whale. OF late the
method of attack has been consider
ably changed. With the aid of well
| trained gun it is possible to fire a
shot from a somewhat safer distance.
On the Pacific coast this work is Of
ten conducted by comparatively small
steamers, which carry the necessary
gun in the bow. Such guns can, OF
course, be mounted on small boats,
such as are carried by the sailing
vessels still engaged in the whaling
industry.
In order to increase the effect OF
the modern system the harpon Cor
lancet is provided with bomb at
its point. 1t is this explosive device
which does the business. The dam
age it does is far greater than that
wrought by a mere puncture. or
course, harpoon is fired at as short
a range as possible, even nowadays.
and the whaler is assisted in his work
by knowing pretty accurately where
a whale will come up after dive in
vertical direction. Owing to the
formation of a faint oily film on the
surface, due to some material secret
ed by whale, path of smooth wa
ter usually marks the scene of its
disappearance. If a careful watch is
kept this spot can easily be found,
even though the boat might have
been half a mile or mile away when
the whale went under.
A representative of the American
Museum of Natural History in New
York, went to the Pacific coast last
year to watch the methods there in
use. He saw the gun and harpoon
used in the capture Of a big sperm
whale. He thus describes the animal:
The sperm whale is strange
looking creature. the great square
ended head having size out of all
proportion to the body and giving the
animal peculiarly shapeless appear
ance. The whole upper third of the
head is devoted to an oil tank con-
tanning the valuable spermaceti,
which lies in liquid state and may
be dipped out after an opening has
been made. Fifteen barrels of pure
spermaceti were obtained from the
oil tank in the head of this individual,
and % barrels more were secured
from the fat surrounding the head.
The total amount of oil, including
the spermaceti and that obtained
from the meat. bone and blubber, was
80 barrels"

PREPARING FOR DRY SEASONS.

PREPARING FOR DRY SEASONS.
Dry seasons are possible any year
II one is we'll forehanded in prepara
ton for them he is a winner whether
they come or not. There is little
waste in the plans suggested by How
ard Williams of Litchfield County in
a letter to the American CultivatoT.
He says:
know a man who makes his field
corn area two or rour acres larger than
he requires for shelled corn, SO that In
case Of drought he can cut and feed
to his cows all they want. The past
summer he fed two or three acres OF
this corn and carried his herd Tor
months on it with no dimlnutlon IN
the flow, the cows completing won
derful years record. This man $
neighbors, most of them with puny
cheeks, from half-fed herds, looked
on enviously; but will they take the
lesson to heart enough to remember
it until next spring? He buys no COM
mercial fertilizers. but, instead, puts
in several tons Of cottonseed meal
when it is cheap, to strengthen the
feed in winter, and at the same time
"strengthen' the manure for the fol-
lowing seasons corn. If be would go
a step further still and use ground
rock phosphate in his stables, he
could score another victory against
famine.
The raising of fodder corn is an
exceedingly simple and inexpensive
act Everybody knows how to do it,
and get heavy burden of the best
feed, and everybody knows how to
make a string of hurdles with NOV
able racks to place across field so
the herd may 60 and get the corn
without making it reedful to hitch
up team or take one out of the hay
field. But the prime course for the
forehanded dairyman is to construct
and maintain summer silos. There is
no cheaper feed, and the time re-
quired to get out and feed a given
number of cows is not more than one
half what it used to be to cut and
haul fodder. The saving of time in
the busy days of the summer is
most important economy. Two to
four pounds of home-raised corn meal
with eighteen to twenty-five pounds
of ensilage makes a strong feed for
large mixers. Said Milo D. Beach
the famous Litchfeld County cream
cry man in a recent conversation.
Summer silos save the cost of grain
at this season of the year, and at the
present prices this is no small saw
ing. The more feed we raise the
better our farms become, the more We
can put into our pockets and the less
we have to spend. 1t would seem as
if farmers would realize this and not
be caught short every summer with
their diaries and other costly equip
ment on hand to maintain, but with
little or no income above the bare
cost of maintenance"

CARE OF THE CHICKENS.

S-AASO VI LIZ C1AASIAI-NOs
When the chickens are first hatch.
ed they need no food for the first
twenty-fcur hours. When they are
out of the shell, each little chick
should be taken from the nest, the
little head should receive one drop
Of melted lard placed in the SEWN
machine oil can as handy receptacle
for this work. This is a precaution
against the large louise that often kills
many of the young chicks.
The coop for the mother should be
prepared with the same care. A
wooden floor should be provided for
the coop, and this may be wooden
platform separate from the coop so
as to be easily cleaned. On top of
this floor a little air-slacked lime
should be sprinkled, and on top of
this an inch of dry earth. This COM
bination makes the coop cool and
sweet and often prevents disease. The
mother and chicks are taken to the
new quarters, and the first feeding
of the little ones, which consists OF
fine wheat bread crumbs, should be
given. A fresh boiled egg added to
this meal will be very good.
A little drinking fountain should
be placed near chicks, SO they can
get it when they wish it. In a little
discarded saucer some fine gravel and
charcoal should be placed for them.
This feed should be given them for
about enc week and then they have
made quite a growth and they must
pass through another treatment Each
one should he caught and carefully
busted with insect powder, and the
head Of each one creased again. Their
coop is cleaned and fresh floor is
then given to them, consisting of fine
cracked corn, and an equal amount Of
cooked oatmeal, and some ground
beef scraps. They will enjoy their
new meal and the busting and greas-
ing of the body and heads will pro-
tect the birds from all insects and
give them such a fine start in life
that a large percentage will live

TO FEED A HORSE.

The kind and amount of food to be
given horses is question that hard
ly any two people agree upon, but
the most practical of breeders and
owners of horses are coming to 4
better understanding in regard to the
matter 1t is readily seen that whole
grains of any kind are far better than
ground feed, because it is an u2-
doubted fact that the poorest grain
is nearly always ground, and not only
that. but it is sometimes mixed with
various substances that would not
be given any animal if known to the
owner.
The proper way to feed a horse is
to give whole grain and bright, clean
hay. The amount must be regulated
according to size of horse and amount
Of work done. Such horses SHOULD
have what grain and hay they will
eat clean. Various rules have been
laid down by theorists, including a
per cent. of grain according to weight
of animal. In practice they will not
work, since the labor, condition of
the animal, temperature of the sea-
son and of the stables must be con-
sidered. In the large stables where
horses are subjected to heavy driving
they can endure from ten to fourteen
pounds of hay with eighteen to TWEEN
ty pounds of grain in the proportion
of one-half oats mixed with corn. II
any ground feed he given be sure it
is provender.
Never under any circumstances
give horse cracked corn, as they
will, especially if very hungry, swal-
low large per cent. of it without
chewing, in many cases causing a
sick animal. l know of one man who
feeds whole corn and oats and his
horses are always in fine condition
either to drive or work In watering
a horse always give it before eating
and not too much if over-heale II
working a horse in extreme heat give
him small doses of water often, but
not let him stand long in the shade.
If regular feed and good judgment are
used there will be few sick horses.
