Where Old Salt Sea Phrases Come as

There has always been Il charm
about Nantucket for outsiders because
Of the sleepy quaintness Of the place
and the islanders odd sea phrases So
generously interlarded in their onver
sations. These phrases are so much a
part of their talk that their use is I'LL
conscious.
They never pull, they always haul"
they do not tie or fasten anything,
they splice" Or DELAY" it; they do not
arrange to fix a thing. they rig it" or
rig it up" they do not throw any
thing away, but "heave it overboard;'
they 'back and fill they fluff"
tack" come about" and square
away" on any and all occasions.
Before engaging in any venture they
first ''see if the coast is clear" then as
they proceed they keep the weather
eye peeled" and always look out for
squalls" Then they "sound it out" un-
til they "fa:hom" it. If they don't
like the 'lay Of the land" they give it
a wide BERTH"
All this is according to 1.-The Nan
tucket Scrap Basket" a book compiled
and edited by William f. Macy and
Roland B. Hussey.
The authors tell the story of a certain
Quaker mother Of Nantucket. who once
denied that she ever used any Of the
nautical expressions so common there.
and told her children to remind her if
they ever caught her doing it. The very
mex morning she gave them some eggs
to leave at the home Of a relative Oil

For Testing Gold.

The acid used by jewellers for testing
gold is extremely powerful and has to
be very carefully handled. To pre-.
vent any considerable quantity Of the
acid being spilled a specially construct,
ed bottle is employed. The stopper Of
this is made of glass and contains a
long pointed glass rod which passes
down the center of the bottle. When
an article Of jewelry is to be tested
the stopper is simply removed. and
the article is touched with the point of
the glass rod. to which a very slight
quantity of acid has adhered. Gold is
not affected by the acid, but imitation

YOUNG STEERS FOR FEEDING
rwo-Year-olds Make Best Feeders for
Average Farmer - Neishbors
Ought TO Work Together.

It is highly important that the
young steers selected for feeding are
Of the right~sort. With the present
prices of feedstuffs and labor, econ
Omy is necessary to eliminate loss and
waste If the feeding operations are
to be profitable.
Scrub feeding cattle are rapidly be-
coming a thing of the past. 1t is
money out of the pocket to put good
feed into a ''robber" steer. The pres
ent demand is for feeds of high quail
lty. A steer with low, blocky, wide,
round body, with short legs and wide
back, with a broad muzzle and short
head, a large roomy middle, showing
ample room for consumption of large
quantities of food and with fine thick
soft hair has every indication of being
profitable feeder.
Two-year-olds make the best feeders
FOR the average farmer. Such cattle
IAN seldom be beaten when it comes
to rapid and economical profits.
Three-year-olds, provided they be pur-
chased reasonably, are sometimes
used to advantage but as a rule two
year-olds make more rapid gains than
do the older ones. In selecting feed
ing steers it should be kept in mind
that a uniform lot of cattle always
takes the eye Of the buyer and sells
at a fancy price. Thus, you see the
necessity OF feeding steers OF like
shape, color and breed. TO secure
this kind of steers purebred beef
males should be used. Neighbors in
a corn, beef and hog district ought to
cooperate and follow similar lines, II
best results are to be secured.
After selecting the right sort OF
steers for feeding purposes the next
point is. to feed them of as quickly
as possible.

BEST TOP LAYER OF sILAeE
Heavy Green Stalks From Which Ears
Have Been Removed Form Heavy
coVer--Packs Well.

For the top layer of the silo a good
practice is to uee heavy green stalks
from which the ears have been re-
moved. This forms q heavy layer
that packs well and at the same time
contains a smaller amount of food ma
terials so that the minimum loss Is
sustained If 1t sDoils.
Various methods and materials have
been used for covering the top of the
silage to prevent its spelling. None
have given complete satisfaction, but
the one mentioned above has given
as good results as any, especially when
the top layer was thoroughly wet
down and packed firmly by trampfhg.
The best practice Is to commence
feeding as soon as the silo is filed, in
which case there will be no loss OF
silage through decay.
