Weird Sounds That Startle Travel In the Oseert ef Goal. " Id Ceylon tbo devil bird la constant source of alarm. No ont knows wbst pedes of bird It is, but throughout tbo wbolo night Its cries art borrlblo and bloodcurdling. The ostites regard tbo cry of this mysterious bird a a aura presage of death. In tbt desert of Gobi, whkb divides th mountslnona snow clad plateau of Tibet from the milder regions of Aala. travelers assert I bat at night tbojr bavt beard aounda high up In tbo ajr. aa of tbo clashing of arms and aounda i of martial manic. If travelers fall to too roar or got separated from tbo caravan they bear themselves called by name. If they go after tbo voire they get lost In tbo desert Sometimes they hear tbo tra roping of bnrsea. and. taking It for their caravans, are drawn way, and. wandertiig from the right course are hopelessly lost. The people believe that these aounda are produced by the spirits tbst haunt tbo desert. Tho Irish banshee may bo traced to the owls, as the description of tbo cry la so similar to that of tbe owl. which completes tho Identification. Most of tbo weird sounds that are beard In tbs Ir at night seem to hare superstitious terrors and are often magnified and altered by those who bear them. Pear son's Weekly. WHIMS OF A BOXER.

Hssd of Dtmooratlo Congresa ienal Campaign Committee. 'it'.' j&'i' i . ... j L : r!fwifflr;ini ; COUNTY AGENT'S I NOTES Tbe yearly value of the agricul tural products of the United. States has doubled In, tbe past fifteen years. In the same period of time the popu lation of the country baa Incresaed one-third. , .' Karlier In the season it looked a If the loss of.frult trees In this com munity was very heavy on account of "winter Injury." We were perhaps unduly alarmed, as present conditions will now show, since a very large per cent of the Injured trees have shown more or less life. While a great many have suffered the loss of a good many limbs and also even the entire stock, very few are entirely dead. Some of our fruit growers have Uo pruned away tbe Injured stock and limbs, and In some cases removed the entire body of Jhe tree, allowing new growth to come up from the root. While It Is somewhat of a setback, It only means a delay In the maturity of the tree. I wish at tbla time to remind those who have not pruned these affected trees that It Is time to give them at tention. Cut away all of tba dead portion, even cutting back Into the live wood. Thin out the new growth where It baa started vigorously. Where tbe entire top Is dead, remove the entire tree. Don't forget to give that corn proper attention now. It needa cul tivation, but not deep cultivation. Since the warm weather Is coming on it needs more cultivation, but be aura to cultivate shallow, so aa not to dis turb tbe roots. Refer to the cut in our notes of two weeks ago, which shows tbe proper relation of the shovel of tbe cultivator to the plant Cultivate often and shallow. ' If you should hsppen to be down In the northern portion of the county, stop at the Grave Creek ranch Just at the foot of Mt. Sexton and see that field of Canadian field peas. 8ome of our people have the Idea that the field pea Is a failure here, but here la a place where they are a great suc cess. Dr. Nehrbss, the owner of the ranch, telle me this Is his second year with rbem and they are very profit able with him. '.' I am very anxious , to have the farmers send In specimens of diseased plants and Insect pests of the garden. If not convenient for you to send them In, let me know If you have such troubles and I will, come out after them. C. D. THOMPSON. County Agricultural Agent. WATCH YOUR TIRES. No Matter How Good They May Be This Caution la Necessary. Many a car la sold on tbe representa tion tbat "tbe Blankmoblle will run from 7.000 to 10.000 tulles on a aet of tires." and tbe motorist thus gleana tbe opinion that bis tires need no at tention for that length of time. But no car dealer's statement or tire maker's guarantee can Influence good or bad luck, and It la largely tbe work of the latter 'that places the bit of broken glass, tbe sharp stone or tbe protruding nail directly In the path of the unwary tli-e. Such an obstacle will not necessarily penetrate tbe tire the chances are that It will not-but a cut will be formed In the outer layer of rubber or tread, which, like an In fected wound, will eventually spread and "Inflame" the entire surface. A few moments spent In examining, cleaning and pliiKKlng the cut or bole will add tbouauuds of miles to the life of the tire. Tbe Inexperienced motor In t 'can form no conception of tbe readi ness with wblcb mud, sand and water can enter tbe slight opening In the sur face of the tire and by gradually work ing Its way "under the skin" will tend to separate the tread from the outer layer of canvas. In a few hundred or thousand miles tbla trend will he banging In flapping shreds, worth no more than so much old rubber, and In order to be reclaim ed the tire must be retreaded or used In connection with one of the several detachable treads on the market H.
