WHAT WE CALL A SYMPHONY
Merely a Series of Ordered Sounds
Produced by Means of lnstru-
ments of Different Kinds.

What we call symphony is merely
a series of ordered sounds produced
by means of instruments of various
kinds. 1t is sound and nothing else.
Our program books tell us about first
themes and second themes" and we
make what effort we can to patch to-
gether the various brilliant textures Of
symphonic music into coherent pat
tern; but the music we seek lies be-
hind these outward manifestations, as,
in a lesser sense, the significance of a
great poem lies behind or beneath the
actual words. A symphony is not a
record of something else; it is not a
picture of something else; you cannot
use the word "else" in connection with
it because it is itself only. Any in
telligent person, on being shown dia-
gram or plan of a symphonic move
ment, could be made to understand
how and why the material was so dis
posed; for that disposition is dictated
to the composer by the nature of sound
and by the limitations and capacities
of human beings, and 1t conforms to
certain principles which operate ev-
erywhere; but that understanding
would not reveal the symphony to him.

TRY GROWING FEW FILBERTS
EarIier-Try Them In Expert
mental Way az First.

Probably no other nut comes into
bearing earlier than the filbert, Of
(which the common hazel nut is spe-
cies. Inasmuch as it's near relative,
the hazel nut, is so widely distributed
throughout the country, it seems well
worthy a trial on small scale. Plant
the nuts in the fall. They may be
purchased wherever nuts are usually
sold, and an investment of 5 or 10
cents is all the expense needed unless
one desires to try some known variety,
when the bushes may be obtained from
q nursery.
There Is no certainty as to the quail
ity Of the nuts which may be obtained
from the seed, but some sort of an
edible fruit Is almost certain, and one
should try them in an experimental
way at first, anyhow. They are said
to be very susceptible to fungus at
tacks, but although there is no iflfor-
nation of any experiments, it is be-
lieved that bordeaux mixture will over
come this. If you are interested in
nuts and care to try an experiment,
It may be worth while to plant a hand
full of filberts.

Simple Reason Why the First Settle.
ment Grew In Length instead
Of Breadth.

The province Of New York was in
reality fringe Of settlements on the
Hudson river, Manhattan island and
Long island; back Of this fringe was
waste Of trackless forest land, the land
Of mountains and ravines, where
lurked vast hordes Of Indians, driven
from the water front by the daring
mariners, to whom, for song, the
simple savages had sold their birth
right. The foolish white man, sowing
seeds Of cunning and distrust, had
pushed the red man into a mightier
stronghold among the crags and
cliffs-but not before he had learned
the use Of firearms, and had learned
also the lesson Of killing for revenge.
With this menace at their back, 1t is
no wonder that the territory Of New
York grew in length rather than in
breadth, though, as early as 1850, q
handful of dauntless pioneers, led by
Arendt Van Curler or Brother Cor

him, Travelled up to Albany, through

PLAN SHOWING HOW CONCRETE csTERN is MADE.

The following article and illustra-
lions describe in detail the best meth
cd Of building concrete cistern:
Make a circular excavation 16 inches
wider than the desired diameter of the
cistern, or allow for q wall two-thfrds
the thickness of a brick wall that
would be used for the same purpose,
and from IA feet to 16 feet deep. Make
a cylindrical inner form. (See Circu-
lar Form) the outside diameter of
which shall be the diameter of the
cistern. The form should be about 8
feet long for a 14-foot hole, and IL feet
long for one 16 feet deep. Saw the
form lengthwise into equal parts for
convenience in handling. Lower the
sections into the cistern and there
unite them to form a circle Gig. No.

(Withdraw blocking after filling in
spaces between with concrete and then
fill holes left by blocking with rich
mortar.)
Making Concrete.
Make concrete Of one part Portland
cement, two parts clean, coarse sand,
and four parts broken stone or gravel.
Mix just soft enough to pour. Fill in
space between the form and the earth
with concrete, and puddle 1t to prevent
the formation of stone pockets, using
long scantling for the purpose, and
also a long-handled paddle for working
between the concrete and the form.
To construct the dome without using
an expensive form, proceed as follows !:

dlestick believing the aunt, whom she
still thought had really loved her, had
had some motive she had felt to be
right in Withholding from her the
money. But indignation was rife
among her friends, and one of them
took 1t upon herself to visit each one
of the heirs, and ask them to make an
equal division of the money, including
Bertha, the one who most needed it.
They had a meeting, but decided 1t
had been their aunt's wish to so will
her property, and they did not wish
to set it aside.
Bertha was advised to contest the
will, but she refused, saying she dis
liked family quarrels, and preferred to
remain on good terms with her cousins.
She neither saw nor heard anything of
Murray Powers, though the memory OF
him was always tugging at her heart.
One day her cousin Adele told he had
written to her he was coming back be-
fore long. So he was writing to her.
Then Adele let drop few words that
convinced her he was no doubt en-
gagged to her fortunate cousin.
Poor little Bertha! Life did begin
to seem a rather dreary, drab affair,
but she kept the candlestick polished,
and q pure white candle in it. Some
times she lighted the candle, and set 1t
by her aunt's picture, as though she
could see it, and be pleased. 1t so
often got wobbly that it required FREE
quent screwing up. Finally one day
when she was trying pretty vigorously
to tighten it, the whole thing came to
pieces, and Bertha saw piece of pa
per sticking out of the hollow space in
the middle. 1t was so tightly folded.

ficulty in getting it out. What was

floor well with wooden posts resting on
the bottom of the cistern. Around the
edges of hole, and resting on the floor
described, construct a vertical form
extending up to the level of the
ground.
Build a cone-shaped mold Of very
fine wet sand from the outer edge OF
the flooring to the top of the form
around the square hole and smooth
with wooden float. Place a layer OF
concrete four inches thick over the
sand so that the edge will rest on the
side wall, Fig. No. 80.
Removing Frames.
Let concrete set for week, then re-
move one of the floor boards and let
the sand fall gradually to the bottom
Of the cistern. When all boards and
forms are removed they can be easily
passed through the two-foot aperture
and the sand taken out Of the cistern
by means of pail lowered with a
rope. This does away with all ex-
pensive forms and Is perfectly feas-
ible. The bottom of the cistern should
be built at the same time as the side
walls and should be of the same mix
ture, six inches thick.
A square cistern is much easier to
build, and In most cases, answers the
purpose as well as a round cistern.
Excavate to desired depth and put In
six inches concrete floor, one part Port
land cement, two parts sand, and four
parts broken stone. AS soon as prac-
ticable, put up forms for 8-inch walls
and build the four walls simultaneous
ly. If more than eight feet square,
walls should be REINFORCED with a
woven-wire fabric or steel rods.

ECONOMICAL FEED FOR PIGS

Skim milk is one of the best feeds

pasture 1t will make economical gains
on pigs.
Experienced feeders find that the
best way to feed II Ii to give the pigs
one pound of grain to three pounds
Of skim milk. Then II the pigs have
