Keep Testing

The man who only tests his herd
for one year has little to show wheth-
er it has paid him or not The only
way that he can really get a benefit
from keeping records on his herd is
through studying these records from
year to year and with their help build
up a profitable herd and profitable
management methods. The Chicka-

Intensive Chicken Raising

A great flock of chickens may be
raised on very small piece of ground
by keeping the birds confined in coops.
This plan has been successfully fol-
lowed by several western chicken
raisers. The birds are transferred
from one coop to another as they grow
and demand more room. but there is
no chance for them to waste energy
in exercise; they mature more rapidly
and are ready for the marker several
weeks in advance Of birds thar are
allowed to run.-Washington Star.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, February
27.-The Niagara Falls cataract has
a bass voice, low bass. in fact. prob
ably below the dull monotone of Lon
don, England
Such was the conviction expressed
by DR.. William Braid White of Chi
cago, an acoustical expert, after he
and Rev. John P. Delaney, physics
professor of Canisius College, had
photographed the sound waves of the
cataract Wednesday, The films will be
developed by Dr. White when he re-
turns to Chicago within week. His
observations, he explained, were from
snap Judgment.
The sound waves are picked up by
microphone and transmitted to a
specially constructed camera after
passing through two radio stages to
turn them into light waves. Wednes-
days pictures were made at the top
and the bottom of the American Falls.
London traffic registered 80 cycles,
which means the sound waves made
80 vibrations a second. Offhand, DR..
White estimated the Niagara Falls in
frequency did no more than IS and
probably about 80.
