Birds and Their Notes.
Most of us know tlie chickadee when
we hear hlin calling over and over,
"Chick a dee, dee, dee, ehick-a-dee, dee,
dee!" But wheu he slags his clear
whistling note. "Phoebe. Phoebe!" we
are likely to mistake hlin for the
phoobe bird, says an exchange. The
chickadee stays in the north In winter,
and the phoebe does not come north
till the early spring The phoelie bird
slugs Its name over and over, a very
sweet but penetrating sonud. The
pea body bird says. "Pea body, pea
body, pen body!" over and over in a
rather senseless way, as If he went
round in a circle Another bird that
sings ills name is bob, wbite (the quail),
only he often says. "Poor bob whltel"
His notes go up aud down and are
stronger than the notes of the smaller
oirds and uiay be heard at a long dis
tance Of course those birds do not
really sins their names But people
listening to them have fancied that
these fcirnes are what the notes sound
most liKe, and so they have given the
bird the name. - Exchange.
Why I_anguarc3 Differ.
An interesting contribution to the
dis ussion of a universal language la
offered by the Montreal family Her
ald.
The adoption of a universal lan
guage, purely spoken by all who nse
it, is made difficult by the fact that
there are physical differences of an im
portant character betwee i the differ
ent races. The vocal organs are so un
like in different peoples that a lan
guage originally uniform would soon
change in the mouths of the various
nations until they could no longer un
derstand one another. If the Italian
language conld be taught to all Chl
uese or Russians it would change so
rapidly that in a few years no one
would recognize It as Italian. One
theory to account for this fact Is that
the people In the chilly north speak
with the lips nearly closed and that
those who live in milder climates give
free articulation by opening the mouth.
Malicious.

CO-OPERATION OF
I TOWN AND FARM
»• (Continued from last issue)
chamber of commerce spoke In high
praise of this effort on the part of
Hock Hill's farmer friends to show
their appreciation to the organization.
The members of the chamber of com
merce consider the work and money
spent In trying to help the farmers and
Improve the standards of agriculture
In the Piedmont was the very best
thing they could hare done, and they
are at present devoting a large part of
their attention to marketing and other
problems of a similar nature.
Among the things the organization
lias done In the past few years through
its agricultural department are several
which are deserving of being empha
sized. In the first place it made it
possible for York county to have two
demonstration agents, there being only
one other county In the state with two
agents, which county alone won a high
er place In the county exhibits at the
stato fair last year. More than $1,000
was raised for this purpose In the
chamber of commerce to supplement
the government funds In this demon
stration work, in addition to which the
agent had his office and stenographer
furnished by the organization.
Another move on the part of the
chamber of commerco was the financ
ing of a cream route to go out from
Hock Hill and return, a distance of
twenty-five or more miles. The ob
ject of this route was to collect the
cream from patrons and deliver It a£
the Wlnthrop College dairy, where It
was made Into butter and sold at the
best possible price. All profits are re;
turned to the farmers monthly, and
the great success of this route will re
sult In the formation of a number of
other similar ones In other directions.
Tho marketing committee during last
April Instituted a city market on a
vacant lot in a prominent section of
the city, nt which place the farmers
meet twice a week and furnish the
city housewives with fresh produce of
all kinds in season. This has been and
continues to be a great help to both
parties.
The most recent work or tne organ
ization was the securing of Itoek Hill
by a central committee as one of the
sis places in the state serving as con
centration points for cattle. Cattle
from five or six counties surrounding
will be shipped to the excellent stock
yards and sheds which the business
men are putting up and which will be
in ebnrgo of the Fnir association. Two
weeks nt different times of the year
will be selected for this concentrating,
at "which time the State Agricultural
association has arranged for a number
of tho largest cattle buyers in the Un
ion to attend sales and buy the cattle
at the very best market price possible.
Attention may be called also to the
work of the Rock Hill Alfalfa associa
tion, consisting of over 200 members
throughout the community. It has
made Rock Hill the alfalfa center of
the southeast, for there is more alfalfa
planted around this center than in all
the balance of the Carolines together.
