Piano Playing Calls
for Punching PotUer

Few rightly estimate the amount
Of force expended upon the piano
by player in making a note sound.
If the pianist is playing fortissi-
mo, at times the force of six pounds
Is thrown upon single key to
produce q solitary effect. With
chords the force is generally spread
over the various notes. sounded ST.
multaneously, though greater out
put of force is undoubtedly expend-
ed. This is what gives pianists the
wonderful strength in their fingers.
A story used to be told Of Pade-
rewski that he could crack a pane
OF French plate glass half an inch
thick, merely by placing one hand
upon it as IL upon a plano keyboard
and striking it sharply with his mil
die finger.
One OF Chopin's compositions has
d passage which takes two minutes

tons. The average tonnage" of
an hours playing of Chopin's music
varies from II to IA tons.

go the way of all flesh and are dis

the experimenter watched for l54
days, disappeared at the end of that

LIVESTOCK JUDGING

Four groups of livestock club
members of the county were given
special training in the Judging Of
sheep by j. K. Ford, extension
specialist in livestock work. Sheep
are one Of the hardest classes Of
livestock to Judge, owing to the
fact that most of the sheep pro-
duced in this section are raised
for both mutton and wool pur-
poses. Mutton being the FREEDOM
mating factor in their production,
since the wool covering hides many
of the defects of the sheep. it is
necessary that sheep be handled
considerable in order to determine
body conformities.
The livestock club at Prosser,
and the one at Benton City and
the group at Kennewick and Fin
ley were all given training in sheen
judging. The work at Prosser was
done at the experiment station,
the boys Judging one class of
ewes. The Judging at Benton City
was done at the farm of Mr.. Hart
man and here class of ewes
were also used. The judging for
Kennewick and Finle twas done at
the farm of j. C. Rorick and a
class of ewes and lambs were used,
After the instruction work given
by Mr.. Ford, most of the boys were
able to place the sheep pretty well.
This work was part of the pro-
gram leading up to the selection of
livestock Judging teams to COM
pete against each other at the To-
cal fair for the honor of repre-
senting the county at the state
fair this fall, and possibly at the
Pacific international as well.
