First "FIying" Feat
Rather Crude Affair

A slate tablet in the yard Of Old
North church, Boston, marks the place
from which the first flying feat in this
country was made. The flight was ac-
cOmplished by John Childs, an Eng
lishman, who had become famous for
his gliding flights from the tops Of
steeples. His glider was a crude af-
fair, the operator being suspended by
a sort of harness. The length Of the
flight was about 700 feet. It was sue
cessfully repeated. The inscription on
the tablet reads: "Here, on Sept. 13,
1857, John ChiIds, who had given pub.
lie notice of his intention to fly from
the steeple of DR.. Cutters church, per
formed it to the satisfaction Of a great
number of spectators. In 1928, the
year of the first continuous flight
across the continent, this tablet has
been placed by the Massachusetts So
ciety of the Colonial Danes, to COM
memOrate the two events"

There was once an operator at the
Crookhaven wireless station named
Binns, whose breakfasts for 365 days
every year consisted Of two hard-bOiled
eggs. During the war he was an op-
orator in a very important position in
the grand fleet and a certain most Sc
cret signal was required to be sent
He was puzzled for a moment, and
then, with his hand upon the Morse
key, tapped out the extraordinary
words, which no doubt puzzled every
German listening in: 1.-TWO hard
boiled eggs transmitting. Urgent"
He raped this out half a dozen times
and the stations around the coast were
much mystifed. But Crookhaven sta
lions sprang alert at once. They knew
It was Binns. They took his secret
message for the admiralty and replied:
80. XII Two hard-boiled eggs" The
result of that code message was
claimed to be the sinking of a German
cruiser, writes William lie Queux in
"Things I Know"

TwO Claim Quotation

In her book entitled Borrowings, {"
Mrs. Sarah Yule credits the quotation
"If man write a better book, preach
a better sermon, or make a better
mOusetrap than his neighbor, though
he build his house in the woods, the
world will make a beaten path to his
door" to Emerson. She said she
copied it in a notebook from lecture
delivered by the great philosopher.
But the quotation was the occasion of
long controversy, owing to Ebert
Hubbard's claim to its authorship.
Hubbard stated positively upon two
different occasions that he was the
author Of the quotation. Mrs. Yule's
book was published in 1889. 1t ap-
pears that Hubbards claim was not
made until later.

Grain Ration for Ewes
Prior to Landing Time

If ewes are in good condition they
will do very well on clover hay with
a little shelled corn; in fact, 1t may be
better not to feed grains until four
to six weeks before Landing. It is
desirable to bring the ewes to Landing
in medium flesh. If 1t is desired to
feed concentrates, which should be
done with such roughage as corn
stover, the following mixtures may be
used: Shelled corn, Eve parts, oats
three parts, wheat bran two parts, lin
seed meal one part, or corn two parts
and linseed meal one part. Give each
eve about a half pound Of the grain
mixture a day with two pounds of
clover hay and as much Of the corn
steveF as desired.

A vessel recently locked at Hull,

Mistake to Fatten Sow
After One Good Litter

The mistake Of fattening a SOW and
killing her after she has had one good
litter of pigs is frequently made.
Some folks kill the SOW and breed one
OF her pigs. This is q mistake-be-
cause, If a sow has produced one good
litter, she Is likely to do better the
next time. She has matured and
knows how to care for her pigs. The
young hog may turn out to be inferior
as brood sow, and even If she does
bring q large litter, she is not able to
give all her strength to sucking the
piss unless she has stopped growing
herself. It IS almost a sure rule that
the more filters a SOW has, the better
are the pigs and the better the SOW
will care for them.

Egyptian Barber Had
First Idea of Organ

More than two thousand years ago a
barber In Alexandria discovered that in
moving his mirror air was forced
through the tubes which were COM
mon in mirrors at that time. This
caused a curious musical sound to be
emitted. So struck was he by this pc
culiarity that he set about making an
instrument which was the foundation
Of the modern organ.
After several experiments he made
a water-fiute, in which air was forced
by bellows through an inverted cone
which led to flutes controlled by a
keyboard, the pressure being kept uni
form by water.
After a thousand years a rival In
strument made its appearance. This
was Of a similar pattern, but, instead
Of water, weights regulated the pres
sure.
In 951 an organ was erected at Win
chester. 1t had twenty-six bellows and
ten pipes to each key. The two men
who sat at the keyboard "bleW and
sweated enormously" Later, a firm
of organ makers In Germany succeed
ed in erecting the first really big in
strument The primary stops did not
differ very much from those Of today,
although various novelties were intro
duced.
Among the innovations were the
nightingale and cuckoo stops, while
others represented cock-crowing and
gOat-bleating. Though these novelties
have now fallen into disuse, an organ
with one of these nightingale stops is
still to be seen IN Rome.

Soy Beans for Wintering
Ewes Win Favor at Iowa

SOY bean hay was found equal to
alfalfa for wintering breeding ewes
according to results Of tests just re-
ported by ]. NJ. Evvard Of Iowa State
college. A combination Of the two
nays was found superior to either one
separately. Since soy bean hay car
RES some concentrates in the beans,
It required less grain for the sheep
than did alfalfa hay. The ewes re-
CURED more salt when fed the soy
oean nay. In these experiments 100
pounds of soy bean hay replaced 1914
pounds Of alfalfa hay and 10 pounds
Of shelled corn.
