Elsewhere in this paper will be found an article written by Mr. J. S. Weathers. Mr. Weathers as many of you know has been recently appointed Farm Demon strator for . Grady County and writes a card giving some out lines in regards to the work. This is one of the most beneficial things that Grady has ever had provided the people will take in terest and this they should do, every -farmer that possibly can should get on the list and plant a few acres of cotton and corn and let the government show them how to raise it. Of course this book farming is pretty poor doings, but it is to be remember ed that the government does not do book farming, they make these experiments and actually know that they are the right thing before they are ever offer ed to the people, so when De monstrator Weathers comes around and tells you how to plow it a certain way, you can just know that it has been thourough- ly tested and known to be the best way. Stick to him and he’ll stick to you and it will sure do good. Music by Electrlolty. The “telhnrmonium,” Invented by Dr. Thaddeue Cahill, furnlBhes what Is called “electric music,” not merely ad a transmitter and Imitator, but as di rect producer of musical tones by means of alternating electric currents. By combining these currents in differ ent ways the operator at the key board produces different qualities of tone. Dr. Cahill has recently made Im provements which render the Instru ment capable of producing all sorts of enUrely new tones of lty own, while its Imitation of trumpets, horns, viols and violins may be so perfect as to de ceive even the practiced ear'-of a mu sical hearer. A single receiver, it Is said, responds satisfactorily to any sound from deepest bass to highest treble, and to a single note of pure tone to & full chord of composite tones. Mere PrsHtsWe.

City folk visiting country neighbors where guinea fowl are kept have oft en wondered at the cry of those pre tentious creatures. Probably no other member, of the feathered tribes emits a cry as exasperating to human listen ers as that of the guinea fowl. The average man rarely hears It without secretly longing to throttle the throat from which It came. Yet It has Its uses. Guinea fowl ara the policemen of the poultry yard. They serve as guards to give other fowl warning of the approach of dan ger, whether It be In the form of thieves, dogs, hawks or crows. The cry of the guinea Is said to be terrify ing to hawks and other predatory birds, and It has prevented'many a raid upon tempting flocks of poultry. But the fact remains that It Is an af front to the human ear.
