rno year without n summer.

An aged resident of Hartford remem-
bers that the winter of 1S29-3O surpassed
this in mildness; farmers ploughed every
month of the season, and no snow fell
until February p The winter was fol-
lowed, however, by a cold, backward
spring, with snow-storm in May, which
killed the returning swallows.
As an offset to the above story, one of
the old residents of Derby tells us the
year 1916 is what is known as the syear
without SUMNER Old New England
farmers refer to it as s'eighteen hundred
and starved to-death. . January was
mild, as was also February, with the ex-
ception of a few days. The greater part
of March was cold and boisterous. April
opened warm, but grew colder as it adj
yanced, ending with snow and ice, and
winter-cold. In May ice formed half an
inch, buds and flowers were frozen, and
corn was killed. Frost, ice and snow
were common in June. Almost every
green thing was killed, and fruit was
nearly all destroyed. Snow fell to the
depth of three inches in New York and
July was accompanied with frost and ice.
On the 9TH ice was formed of the thick
ness of window-glass in New York, New
England, and parts of Pennsylvania, and
corn was nearly all destroyed in certain
sections. In August ice formed half an
inch thick. Corn was so frozen that a
great deal was cut down and dried for
fodder. Very little ripened in the New
England and Middle States. Farmers
were obliged to pay four and five dollars
bushel for corn of 1915 for seed for the
next springs planting. The first two
weeks of September were mild, the bal
ance of the month was cold, with frost
and ice formed quarter of an inch thick
October was more than usually cold, with
frost and ice. November was cold and
clustering, with snow enough for good
sleighing. December was quite mild ant
com mfOrtable.-HdTDer.

Aggressive owls .

A writer sends to Forest and Stream,
from Pottsville, Pa, the following curl
GUS incident in the history of the owl:
A young man, the son of a respectable
farmer, residing within few miles of
this place, on his way home across the
fields, was violently seized on the back of
the neck by an owl, which had suddenly
alighted on his back, and it was with some
difficulty that the winged assailant was
kept at bay. A few days afterward the
young man passed over the same route,
when he was again attacked by the same
or another owl, which flew in his face,
and severely bit him. In each case blood
was drawn by the ak of the aggressor.
The neighbors becoming alarmed, an in
vestigatiOn was made, and, in large,
lonely and well-decayed oak, was discOv-
cred hole well up near its forks. As
the tree was being felled, several owls
flew out and escaped. The examination
resulted in finding the skeletons of vari-
Gus sizes of birds, mice, bats, frogs, moles.
etc., while an immense stock of large and
small insects yet remained for winter ?,
supply.
