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.

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

altered by those who bear them. Pear

CorbotVs Nerves Jangled When Ho
Wss About to Most Jeffries.
, Jim Corbett was all nerves when pre
paring for a bout Jimmy Coffrotb,
who promoted tbo bout between Cor
bett and Jeffries at San Fram lsco, told
tbla one on Jim:
"Corbett wss an cosy man to get
along with save tbat be was finicky
about small matters. For Instance,
bo came to mo before the Jeffries light
and wanted to know who would be a
likely referee. When I told him the
man be sought him put and put blm
through a third decree on boxing. .
s "There never waa a question of ring
form tbat he didn't brlug up. ' A few
days before the fight he came to me
and asked to be ahown the door In
Mechanics' pavilion through wblcb be
would enter on hla arrival. I showed
him the big front door, and he aaltl,
'No, too much Jostling there: show me
another door.'
"I took blm to every eutrance In tho
bulldlnit, but none would suit, and I
wound up by having a carpenter cut a
epoclnl door In the side of tbe Build
ing for him. That was tho queerest
whim I ever ran across donllng with
boxers."-New York World.

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.

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.

a profusion of larce yellow flowers, so

Just before sunset, burst Into bloom so
