'TWASPRIEST
Who SlLENCED
GERMAN GUNS

1t was distinguished French Catho-
lie priest who perfected the delicate
phonetic instruments which located the
batteries of the enemy during the war
and even revealed the caliber of each
gun. After a lifetime spent mainly
in the study of phonetics. the Abbe
Jean Rousselot. now in his seventy
fifth year. is rewarded by the choir of
Experimental Phonetics in the College
of France. LOpinion (Paris) tells how
the venerable scientist first began the
study of sound:
ut was thru his study of voice pro-
duction and his analysis of the motions
and changes of form of the lips, mouth,
larynx, and nostrils that he was able
so to analyze speech into its elements
that he could teach words and SEN
tences to children and adults whose
deafness had prevented their enunciat-
ing vowels or consonants. 1t was his
study of sounds by means OF delicate
instruments that gave Able Rousselot
tho power during the war to locate tho
batteries of the enemy. AS early as
the summer of 1915 he was stationed
at Fontainebleau taking records on
tambours or revolving drums of all the
wild confusion of sounds which reiGned
there, and then from the study of these
tracings, each representing n given
sound. calculating the intensity, the
pitch and the timbre the latter.
Possest of these data he was able to
determine by means of carefully
worked out tables, not only the exact
position but tho caliber of every gun
in the German batteries. There seems
something almost miraculous, indeed
in the precision with which he was
able to distinguish such sounds coming
from various distances as that of the
charge or the sound wave coming from
the mouth of the gun, the whine of
the projcctile in the air, and the noise
of the shells explosion-and this

TUBFULS OF MILK
BY A KANSAS COW

Kansas has many Holstein cows
worthy Of special mention. Among
recent records of note. one was made
by Hyle Park Lady De Kol, owned
by Orin r. Bales of Douglas county.
She gave $685. pounds of milk in a
week. making $3.50 pounds of butter
the states record.
The achievement of this COW is all
the more noteworthy because Mr..
Bales is n new breeder and has a
comparatively small herd That it is
real herd, however. is shown by
the fact of its IT cows of milking
age, the 16 cows in milk at the time
this test was made. were giving 90
gallons of milk a day. Mr.. Bales
started his herd in 1917, with ono
purebred COW. To this start he added
carefully made selections of heifers.
resulting in a herd which experienced
breeders call one of the best in the
country for its eize.-Mail-Bree

trolled by merely anchoring brush piles.
Another simple method of preventing
erosion is to fill the gullies with straw,
which should be dona at the time of
threshing. to save time and labor.
The earth dam consists of mound of
earth or stones built across the gully,
but unless the soil above is open and
porous, the water will accumulate back
of such dam and wash it out. So,
unless suitable outlet is provided, it
is not good procedure.
A dickey dam is an earth dam with
line of tile down the gully with an
outlet through the dam. 1t is best
to install an elbow or IT. in the tile,
just above the dam. This is called
surface inlet, usually extending two or
three feet above the bottom of the gully.
A large-size tile should be used in order
to provide for food waters and board
or cement spillway should be built un-
der the outlet to prevent back-cutting
by the water.
When the dam is done, a crop, such
~ sorghum or even oats or rye, should
be planted to hold the loose dirt and
later it should be seeded to grass.
, Considering the cost, maintenance,
permanencc and efficiency, a dickey
dam, especially when arranged in Sc
ries of two or more, may be regarded
as the best method of filling large
bitches and glllies.

liable remedies for soil washing.

GIN MAKING a report of the soil
i survey of Blackhawk county, Iowa,
Prof. w. H. Stevenson has written a
valuable article on the prevention of
erosion from all types of soil, a bulletin
which ought to have widespread dis
tribution among farmers, because the
fertility of many farms is being washed
away, whereas, with little foresight,
this fertility could be held and in
creased from year to year.
The bulletin gives the practical meth
cd of preventing both sheet washing
and outlying. Sheet washing often oc-

aware of the gradual removal of fer
tility from his soil until it has actually
resulted in lower crop yields.
Outlying, of course, is more striking
in appearance. but is really less harm
full and more easily controlled.
Erosion, due to burrows, frequently
results in the formation of guilies.
Sometimes this can be corrected by

The simplest method of controlling
smaller or moderate-sized gullies is to
