Singing Sands Freak of Nature

Singing sands are among our most
curious freaks of nature. When
small quantity of this sand is clapped
between two hands it is said to give
forth a sound so shrill as actually to
resemble a boot. Put into a bag anc
violently shaken, the sand emits
noise strangely like the bark Of a
dog. Similar are those curious NOV
ing sands that continually travel
hither and thither over the vast, plain
of clay. Their movements are in
duced by the winds, and when a
strong breeze is blowing the particles
of which they are composed give out
an audible humming or singing. I'm
der the microscope these sands show
an almost perfectly spherical form,
so that they roll on each other at the
slightest impulse, circumstance that
also accounts for the rapidly with
which the sands travel over the desert.
One theory advanced with respect TO
the singing" of these sands is that 1t
is due to an exceedingly thin film of
gas that covers the grains Gathered
and removed from the desert, the

OON'T-FEED HORSES MoLDY CORN

Are you going to feed your horses
moldy corn? Don't do it, If you DO
you stand a chance of losing them
from blind staggers.
There is 8 great deal of wormy'
moldy corn in the state this season
The experiments conducted at the
Kansas State Agricultural college by
T. P. Haslam have shown that stag
gers frequently results from feeding
such corn to horses: Some horses
are naturally quite resistant and can
eat large amounts of moldy corn with
out injury but others will contract the
trouble from corn that does not injure
the resistant ones.
If it is necessary to feed a poor
quality of corn to horses the danger
may be almost obviated by Smelling
the corn and pouring II into water.

What's the use Of walking around
in the mud? Any farmer can build a
cement wolk, says Z. B. Mccormick,
professor of mechanical engineering
in the Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege. An inexpensive grade of cement
walk could be laid to. the barn, the
sheds, the garden, and the we'll
Think of the bousecIeaning that
wouldn't have to be done.
Here is the method Professor Nc
Cormick gives. First get these tools
if you don't have them already: A
shovel, hoe, mud-box, hammer, saw,
nails and boards for the form Of the
sidewalk. A screen for the sand used
in the top layer, heavy sledge to
break the stones, and a tamper can
be used to good advantage The
stakes holding the boards on the side
of the walk should be placed on the
outside. Be sure the stakes will not
slip. The form should be built be-
fore the mixing Is begun. Then the
walk is ready TO be laid
First, place q sub-layer Of crushed
stone or cinders, two inches or more
in depth, depending upon the probable
dampness under the walk This sub
base should be wet down and we'll
tempered. The main body Of the
cement is to be mixed according to
the following proportions by volume;
I part cement, 21k or 3 parts sand
and parts crushed stone, when
stone is used. If stones are not avail
able. use l part cement and or 6
PARTS sand. This layer should be three
of four inches thick. The top coat
consists of 1 part cement, 1 or: X
parts sand, and should. be. between
3! of an inch and 1 inch thick
This makes a fve-inch walk which is
heavy enough for all ordinary pur-

poses. In fact, a fiveIEch floor in the
mechanical engineering building at
the Kansas Agricultural College holds
the weight of an eight ton engine.
:. The dry sand and cement should
be mixed until the mixture has an
even color. Add the rocks and sufn-
cient water to- make the mixture pack
well without much tamping II is
we'll to wet sthel. crushed stone and
also the mixed sand and cement be
fore adding the Stone. The top layer,
mixed the same as the first, but omit
ting the stone, must be placed on the
first layer soon after it is laid 10 in
sure a good union between the two
coats. Using a wet top layer will
cause a delay in smoothing this coat,
but the walk Will be much stronger.
The wet mixture also gives a rough
surface, which prevents the walk be-
coming slippery,
Keep on your walks until they are
thoroughly dry. They should not be
used for three or four days after they
are made. Crossings should stand
two weeks before heavy load is
hauled across them. In hot weather,
the walks should be protected from
the sun. This can be done by wetting
the empty sacks and placing them on
the woIk, or by putting boards on
the walk and pilling earth on top.
The cost of a cement walk varies
with the price of cement, sand, stone,
labor, and width and depth of walk
The average bid IS between fifteen
and twenty cents a square foot for
a five-inch walk. OF course this in
cludes the cost Of labor and a profit.
By building the walks when farm
work is not crowding, the farmer can
save paying cash for the labor.
