Bears, Deer and Partidges Des roying
Crops in Vermont.
In the mountain districts east OF Rutland,
VT, partridges and deer are so abundant that
they are destroying crops. The black bcaris
also taking hand In the trespassing.
George II. Woodward, a farmer living five
miles from Rutland has made complaint TO
the Vermont Game Club that herd of deer
has destroyed au acre and n half OF buck
wheat and devoured his vegetables. He de-
mands damages, and legal complications are
likely TO grow out of the case. lie says Tia g
deer come INTO the fields seven or eight at a
time. just after sunset, and stay until he
drives them away in the morning. They stay
until approached within three or four rods.
Within "A mile OF Rutland deer are met trot-
ting along the travelled road.
Upon the mountains farmers frequently
have 10 drive partridges from their gardens
and deer are found feeding with the cows.
This is the result OF the law forbidding the
killing of game until 1900. The next Legis-
lature will probably modify or repeal the
laws or the farmers will rebel.

How to Serve the Crane Fruit,

The shaddock, or grape fruit, so nearly
allied to the orange in appearance, is com
ing to be more highly appreciated for its
hcalthfulness and agreeable acidity, and it
Is often served as a first course at fashion
able breakfasts and luncheons. To prepare
it divide each fruit in half and with pair
of scissors or sharp knife cut from the core
a circular piece about the size of so cent
coin. Fill the cavity thus made with sugar,
and, if liked, teaspoonful of rum, which
gives an agreeable flavor, and serve half
to each plate. These should be on the Ia
bic when the guests take their places.
