foot will be still in the air while that
of his comrade in the front rank is
already on the ground.
The explanation of this odd feat is
quite simple. AS sound travels at the
late of 1860 feet per second. it takes
one-fourth second for the drumbeat TO
be audible at distance of 265 feet
Soldiers march 120 steps per min
ute or half a step every one-fourth
second Thus the soldier who is 265
feet from the drum and hears it beat
yne-fourth second late cannot help
falling just one-half step behind.
You can prove all this for yourself
by watching a long column Of march.
ing men. When the drum begins they
lose perfect step at once and the feet
are seen to strike the ground in re-
ceding waves as the sound passes
down the line. But within two or
three seconds after it stops the men
get into perfect step again, and go
with sway and swing absent at other
times.

Marking the Layers

pullet, especially one that begins pro-
duction under six months of age, is
wroth marking for the breeding pen.
To discover these early layers l use
the trapnest; then pull q small band

Occasionally one fails to keep it up.

season, mark with a band around

ally a pullet that starts producing
later than six months of age and
keeps up a steady flow of eggs
throughout its pullet year, makes a
good breeder, but l have found this
to be the exception rather than the
rule.
The breeding pen should contain
nothing but the best layers, in my
opinion, as it is a waste of time and
money to breed with poor stock In

Effect OF the Drum on Soldiers

The measured beat of drums may
serve useful purpose by keeping up
the spirits of soldiers and helping
them to forget their fatigue, but, curl
cusly enough, it does not help them to
keep in step.
On the contrary, as science has
lately proved by series of interest,"
ing experiments, troops on the march
keep step far better when there are
no drums to mark time for their feet.
The soldier marching beside the
drummer or Immediately behind him
has no difficulty in keeping in per
feet step. But as you go farther and
farther away from the drum you will
find steadily increasing variation
between the movements of the feet
and the rhythmic beat of the drum.
A soldier 265 feet in the rear of
the drummer will almost invariably
prove to be just one-fourth of a sec.
ond behind time with every step. His

Old and Highly Valued Letters OF
Sir Walter Scott Found in California
Eminent English Novelist Pays Large Sum for Relics
His Countrymans Misfortunes

Iticular letters are what they seem to
be they're the ones I've wanted the
most of all"
Sir Walter. as shown by the Gibson
letters had legal obligation of $780,,
900 as a firm member of James Bal
lantyne & Co., printers. When the
house failed for 100000 he would not
agree to bankruptcy proceedings, OF
a partial settlement, but pledged him
self to repay every dollar. 1t killed
him; the debt was finally paid from
his life insurance.
Among the letters is one that shows
the CHEEKY spirit in which Scott took
even such a matter as the sale of his
furniture:
81 ask it to be advertised as the
furniture in No. 80, lately occupied by
Sir w. S. Your delicacy, l know
would boggle at this, but mine does
not My displeasure is that am un
able to pay everyone their own-not
on the measures necessary to effect
payment / have some reason to
think that if the public are aware it
is mine. better prices may be given.
Some folks are anxious to have even
trifing articles belonging to those
who have right or wrong, made some
noise in the world / heard fellow
passing the house say:
"tOh, I'll have one of his chairs if
it costs me 20 pounds Others may
i have a similar whim; and if so, why
should they go to brokers, to give
them the advantage, which would be
gained by the creditors?"
The death of Lady Scott, when mat
tiers were at their worst, is mentioned
in the same heroic spirit. And when
his health began to break under the
strain of frantic writing, he wrote:
"The h yasyenus which was obliged
to take for the gravel deranged me a
good deal. and believe was the cause
of some inaccuracies of the copy; for
one day I could neither write nor
spell. This is over, thank God. re-
turn proofs and copy for Woodstock
~ hope they will not smack at the
apoplexy."
There are dozens of such letters,
with Gibson's replies. and SCOTS own
memoranda of business matters. They
were handed down to Gibson's daugh-
ter and now will leave San Francisco
to take their place in Hugh Walpole's
library of Scott.

in the same proportion. Clean tho
crock thoroughly before using.
Place the eggs in the solution. If
the poultry yard has not supplied an
adequate quantity of eggs for inn
mediate use, they may be added from
time to time. See that at least two
inches of the solution covers the eggs
at all times. Place the crock or jar
in cool, dry place, well covered to
prevent evaporation. Wax paper
placed on and tied around the top of
the jar will serve the desired end.
As substitute for water-glass, this
method has proved good: Dissolve
two or three pounds of unslaked lime
in five gallons of water that has pre-.
viously been boiled and allowed To
cool. Let the mixture stand until the
lime settles and the liquid is clear.
Place clean, fresh eggs in an earthen-
ware crock or jar and pour the clear
lime-water into the vessel until the
eggs are covered.
Earthenware crooks are good con-
tainers. They must be clean anG
sound. Scald them and let them cool
completely before use. A crock hold
ing six gallons will accommodate 10
dozens Of eggs and about % pints of
solution. Crooks that are too large
are not desirable. Eggs put in the
crock first should be used first. Re
place with cooled boiled water any
water that has evaporated.

this direction.
Meredith has made it a practice to
loan any boy money to carry on farm
work. A boy can borrow from SIS to
500 from him to buy pig or cow
or whatever he may want in the way
of something to feed or cultivate on
the farm. The boy gives a note. If
through some mischance he cannot
meet it, the loan is renewed. He also
loans money to young men who are
working their way through college.
He has lost but little on account of
investments in farm boys or the young
college men, and he feels well repaid
for having given them start in life
