The Bull-roarer.
The "buil-roarer," a toy better
known to English than American
boys has just reappeared before the
English public as the text of a dis
course delivered recently by Mr. Tylor
before the Royal Institute Dr. Tylor
is the author of various books upon
primitive civilization, and is just now
investigating the "bull-roarer' as one
of the puzzles in human history. For
it is found always as a sacred instru
ment used in celebrating religious
mysteries, not only in ancient Greece,
but in New Zealand, New Mexico,
Australia and Africa, and the question
is, did it begin as a toy, and through
the diabolical character of its noise
come to be regarded as a suitable
means of impressing such spiritual
powers as could be summoned, or did it
degenerate into a toy when familiarity
had dulled the effect first produced by
its use ? Possibly the reader may re
call a toy, the originator of which is
unknown, a toy constructed simultane
ously from Maine to Florida and from
the Alleghenies to the Pacific slope by
every bov, high or low, rich or poor,
who could compass an empty tomato
can, a string, and a bit of resin.
Through every city and village of the
land swept this epidemic of "roosters,"
whose voice was the voice of the
guinea hen, and a rusty gate, and a
contentions woman and an energetic
steam whistle combined. The "bull
roarer" is of less complex but quite as
sustained force, and simple and inno
cent in appearance far beyond the
"rooster," and is capable of well-nigh
as unearthly a chorus Any bit of
board will make one, and the process is
described entirely in the interest of
science, and with no slightest reference
to the wishes or intentions of the
small boy.
Take then a bit of board, say a
quarter of an inch in thickness, eight
inches long and three wide, and
sharpen each end, leaving the roarer
when finished in the shape of the
"fish" used «8 a counter. Now tie a
strong string a yard in length tightly
around one end, twist the other about
the fore finger and whirl. Whirl
patiently, for nothing will happen for
some time. In fact, the audience who
listened to Mr. Tylor, looked with at
first interest, and then doubt, then de
rision, at the spectacle of a serious and
discreet philosopher whirling thisbitof
wood with a calmness born of experi
ence. What they heard was first a
mild buzz, as of a blue-bottle fly on a
hot day; then a louder buzz, the voice
of a dozen hi yes of angrv bees, and
and suddenly a roar, "a mighty rush
ing noise, as if some supernatural
being fluttered and buzzed his wings
with fearful roar." This is the "bull
roarer" and in every couDtry save
England itis still regarded as possessing
magical power, having so much vir
tue as a certain means of raising the
wind, that its immediate adoption is
suggested to the large constituency
who are still waiting for something to
turn up.

or more Baxter's Mandrake Bitters

their use. We3tel Salsbury says they
have been used by himself and family
to great advantage: have cured his

Km 1111 Farms.
New York Tribune.]
Here are a few facts and figures
which ought to be of interest and ser
vice to a large number of our readers,
women as well as" men. In the spo
ciil bulletin issue! by the Census
Bureau recently, showing the size and
number of farms held in the States,
the total number was stated to be 4,-
008,907. Of these only 139,241 were
less than ten acres in size. That is to
say.onlv 139,241 persons in this coun
try have thought it worth while to
cultivate for profit patches of ground
of less than ten acres. The (act is al
most incredible, but it is a fact. How
manv tbcmands of women and tens of
thousands of men are struggling for
lite in our great cities who could rent
those small farms and make a healthy,
comfortable living from them! But
how ? Let us look into the matter and
see. The reason why any man or
woman should need any information
on the subject is that Americans have
the misfortune of living in an enor
mous country and dealing with large
stakes in life. Their eyes and ideas
are used to sweeping over such im
mense spaces that a petty business
with petty profies seems to them con
temptible. "Farming," to most of our
readers, means a vast sweep of laud in
Minnesota given up to wheat; or a
few miles in Texas or Colorado with
tens of thousands of cattle; or, at least
a couple of hundred of ridh a<TCS in
Ohio or Pennsylvania, all of which are
to be controlled by the owner's eye,
but with which his hands shall have
but little to do.
Such chances fall to very few.
But how many men or women could
cultivate from one to ten acre#, grow
ing the kind of vegetable or fruit for
which they can find the most profita
ble market? Take cucumbers for exam
plo. The average crop is from 80,000
to 90,000 per acre, Ready sale is
found at this market or to at
from $1.50 to $2 per thousand. Vet
cucumber is not considered one of the
most profitable for a small farmer.
Let him cultivate the fin<y fruits, the
berries, the better class of pears or
grapes, if he wants to make a market
success and high profits. The ftner
the grade of crop and the more skill
andlntelligence which are put into the
work the better it will pay, of course.
Flower and herb raising are industries
wkich are only just beginning to at
tract notico iu this country. They
are especially suited for small plota of
ground and for women. A quick wit
will find new paths in this trade as in
any other. The first man who grew
mushroons in a cellar for this market
made a fortune.
Bee keeping is another exceedingly
profitable use of a small farm which
our people are just finding out. The
report of the Beekeepers' Association
shows that during the seven years end
ing with 1879 the average yield per
hive was ninety pounds weight.
Twenty-five hives are allowed to each
acre. Our readers, who well know the
average price of honey in the nearest
market, can estimate the probable profit.
Poultry raising is a business which, on
a few acres, can be made to pay well.
One woman we know who, beginning
with ten dollars' worth of eggs, in
eight years possessed forty yards of
the finest stock iD the country, which
yield her a competency.
Mr. Gladstone for three years has
been urging on the small proprietors
of England increased attention to what
is there called villa farming—the culti
vation of every inch of tillable ground
in small patches in the raising of food
supplies. "If, : ' says a recent number
of the Estates Roll, "every acre in
England was carefully farmed, what
an immense difference there would be
in our imports and exports returns ?"
The same argument comes home forcibly
to U3 now when the price of every kind
of farm product is almost doubled.
But, argue the timid, what if our
crops fail, our bees are frozen, our
poultry die ? Such mishaps are not
unlikely. Failure is probable in every
business. The only remedy or pre
vention is constant eate and hard work.
Farming, and especially small farming,
requires more than any other employ
ment the actual personal attention of
the owner. It can in no case be done
by deputy. That personal care insured,
intelligence and industry will pay, we
believe, in this work as well as in any
other.
Hay Fever.
Mr. A. L. Avery, Pharmacist, New
ark, N. J.—Having been afflicted for
eleven years with Hay Fever, after
trying almost everything withno
avail, I gave up all hopes of being
cured, when I purchased of you a box
of Ely's Cream Balm. To my surprise,
after a few applications, I was entirely
relieved. 11. WATSON HARRIS, Letter
Carrier No. 14, New P. 0., Newark,
N. J.
I have been a Hay Fever sufferer
for three years, and have often beard
of Ely's Cream Balm spoken of in the
highest terms, but did not take muck
stock in it because of the many quack
medicines. A friend persuaded me to
try the Balm, and with the r'ost won
derful success. This recommendation
you can use for the benefit of /lay

as "a noxious berry, krank to keep

the supply now exceeds 000,000 tons.
