Experiments With Sind
A very Interesting fact about the
ordinary Hand of the Renshore la that
a pint of dry sand and half a Dlot of
water when mixed do uot tunke a plut
and u half, but a good deal less. If
you QH a child's pall with dry Hand
from above the tide mark and then
pour ou It some water the muss of
snnd actually shrinks. The reason Is
tliut when the saud Is dry there Is nlr
between Its particles, but when the
sand particles are wetted they adhere
closely to each other; the air is driven
out. and the water does not exactly
take an equivalent spuce, but occupies
less room than the nir did, owing to
the close clinging together of the wet
particles.
A Cure For Balking.
A farmer thus cured a horse of balking:
He weot to a stack of wood for a
small load, but bis horse would not
pull a pound. He did uot beut hi in.
as most meo would have done, hut
simply tied him to a tree and left him
there. At sunset be went to the sun k
again, but the horse still refused to
draw. So be put a blanket ou blm and
left blm there for the ulght. In the
morning he still refused to draw, but
at uoon. being hungry, be Btnrted at
once and drew the load to the house.
The farmer then returned aud got an
other load before feediug bliu and then
gave hi in a good dinner. Loudon Fam

Before and After,
"Before 1 was married I used to ac

"And after marriage?"

Following Is the conclusion of Ar
va Davla- letter telling of the over
land journey from Enterprise to
Central California:
September 26th we traveled to Dry
lake, g miles from Burney Valley. It
has been raining every minute since
we came here. I want to mention
about the snow. We find here sever
al patches along the road which re
minded us of WaUowa; the name bf
this mountain Is Jlagee.
September 27 we left Dry lake and
traveled through Kin tuck at half
past eight, and drove on to another
small place called Whltmore. We
traveled through timber all day today
and we all delighted in looking at
the very tall pine trees, with their
pine burrs hanging from them, some
of which were 12 and 15 Inches long,
very much larger and longer than
those we've seen In Washington and
Oregon. But we were glad when we
drove out of the timber, where day
light seemed brighter.
September 28th we drove to Ander
son and camped over night. We
find the weather much warmer, as
we are now in Sacramento Valley.
September 29th we left Anderson
and drove to Red Bluff. We found
it to be a very pretty place. It is
situated on the Sacramento river. We
camped over night here. The popu
lation here, to 13,000.
September 30th we drove to Chico,
42 miles from Red Bluff. We found
this to be a very nice little town
also. It Is trimmed up nicely with
i fnllajrn and hai several nice city
parks. We caropei there over night.
October 1st we all arose early, ex-
Dectlnr to set an early start, but
soon found we had a sick horse. In
stead of starting on, Mr. Davis went
and got a veterinary, who treated
it for a founder, and soon after It
began to grow better. Because of
looking a good deal like rain. We
drove to Mr. Gum's ranch in Sacra
mento Valley, Just fourteen miles
from Chico.
October 4 we left Mr. Gum's ranch
and drove to Mai-ywvllle, which was
40 miles from Mr. Gum's. Perhaps
you iwiU think us hard hearted to
drive our sick horse so far. We began
to try to find . feed for our horses,
and a camping place at 4 o'clock.
