chicken will stand on one leg and look up
to heaven after squeezing through hole IN
the fence into the strawberry bed next door.

A friend at our elbow said, 81 don't
see the point In that chicken paragraph.
l never saw a chicken 60 through a
hole, and straighten itself heavenward.

"tbe illustration may be lost, but the
hole is not. have hole that more
than one chicken went through, and
didn't straighten either. The hole is all
right, the chicken that goes through is
all right, but the straight never gets out

A NEW enemy to the growing crop Of
corn has been discovered this spring,
which is committing considerable de-
struction in some sections of the coun-
try. 1t is peculiar black worm which
can scarcely be crushed on the loose
earth, as it is encased ID suit of armor
difficult to break. They operate in the
corn hills by eating off the young
plants. As many as ten or twelve
worms are sometimes found in one hill
The cutworm has hitherto been great
annoyance, bur this new pest is said to
be even more destructive. Paris green
has been found TO be as efiicacious in
ext-rminating these worms as it is in
destroying the potato bug. Powdered
white hellebore is also said to be very
efficaclous.-

THE Boston Globe announces the
rule that Ga beautiful female foot should
be one-seveuth the wearer's height
If the 'wearer' is five feet four inches
high, then the foot should be nine
inches high; and it should, of course,
be three times as long as high, which
would give it length of twenty seven
inches. But this is in Boston-which
