How Hills Produce Music.

In certain parts of the world are
mountains and hills which are said by
the natives to sing. In the Pyrenees
certain cliffs emit plaintive sounds re-
sembling the strains of harp. Two
other cliffs in the same chain are
called 1.-THE Shores" When the wind
is in the southwest they send forth q
peculiar sound not altogether unmusi-
cal. The faces Of these cliffs are
marked by deep gullies open in front,
which may be compared to the pipes
OF an organ. AT certain times STRAIT
um of air held between the cliffs
and the bordering trees, closes the
openings while the wind blows freely
between. through the gullies or organ
pipes behind; hence the music that
is heard.

tion channels.
Having established in this fashion
II broad basis for his operations. let
us assume the stockman is feeding a
lot of steers for the market. He must
now give market reports more careful
and persistent attention than before.
II is quite important that he know
what kind OF cattle are in best de-
mand on the principal markets. II
there is a steady inquiry for heavy

Abundant information along this
line will be found both In the live

In this connection the stockman will
also be interested In keeping advised

KEEP PRODUCERS INFORMED

prepared by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.)
How can the farmer and stock rails
er turn the live stock reports of the
bureau of markets. United States De
partment of Agriculture, into dollars
is frequently asked.
The answer is for the farmer to get
so much Information out of the re-
ports that he can conduct his breed
ing, feeding and marketing operations
a little more intelligently in the flu
ture, and therefore more proftably
than in the past.
Market reports are history, and the
chief value of history is the basis
which it provides on which to fore
east the future. In other words, what
has happened in the past will prob
ably occur again under the same or
similar circumstances.
Small benefit is generally derived
from reading a single market report,
or n covering a short period of time.
Markets move in cycles, and the man
who would keep Informed must follow
them diligently in eason and out.
This is a matter of particular impor-
lance to the stockman, because his
business is, to an unusual degree, a
longtime speculation. He must pre-
pare now and lay his plans today in
light of what he thinks the market
will be anywhere from six months to
Two years hence. But how will the
departments reports assist him in
doing this?
First of all, he should take into ac-
II potential supplies of the par
ticular class of live stock in which he
is interested. Assume that cattle is
his line. The monthly report, Stock
at Stockyards, gives the number of
cattle I'M calves marketed from
month to month through 6S central
markets. If such movements are I'M
usually heavy for any considerable
time, it may indicate a cattle short
age during the next year or two, and
a shortage Of any commodity usually
means higher prices.
This same report also shows the
number of cattle and calves that went
back to the country as stockers and
feeders. If such movements were ex-
~ceptionally light. 1t would help to con-
firm the belief that a comparative
shortage In cattle was impending. On
the other hand. heavy stocker and
feeder shipments would go a long way
toward neutralizing the importance OF

Most guinea ralsers allow their

During the winter the breeders should
have been fed a grain mixture Of corn,
wheat and oats twice n day, and where
no green feed was available, vege-
tables, such as potatoes, turnips, beets'

The United States, the guineas can be

out the breeding season. Avoid hav-

approaches, one pair after another sep

Of a suitable nesting place. Once
mated this way, the male usually re
mains with his mate throughout the
laying season, standing guard some
where near the nest while the hen is
laying, and ready to warn her of any
approaching danger.
However. it is not necessary 10 mate

breeders Keep but one male for every
three or four females. When mated in
this way the hens are more apt to lay

easier to find the nests and gather the
eggs.
