We hail several barley fields (sowed
lata for fall feed for STOCKS and ducks)
which was jas, headed out. Thinking
it looked strange one morning We
found nothing but the bare stalks left,
which were literally covered with
army worms. We pat the mower to
work Mt once, but fonnd that the
worms did not cease their work, but
kept on cutting OF the stalks ami cut
ing of the boards Of tho grain We
then raked it together in small heaps,
hopsng to save it That way; but what
was our establishment the next day to
see our lane full Of iuseets--a long
black line OF them streaming ont of
the barway, heading right for the
buildings. Our first thought was to
muster all hands and by use OF kero-
sene and ireuching TO hght them
there. We then thought Of our ducks.
We had several hundred breeding
ducks iast over the wall.
We opened tue gate, letting them
into tie lane. They looked in
astonishment at The discolored
ground; finally one Of the leaders
l.ui his head down to investigate. In
a moment every head was down. Up
the laue they came slowly, gathering
up every worm, into the barway
from which the worms were pouring,
into the barley-iield and around it,
croaking their satisfaction as ducks
only can do, and ont at the same bar
why That they entered, every bird
laden TO his utmost capacity. We
had no fear now, as we had 1 500 more
birds in reserve. Bat achievements
were not needed. In about two hours
the birds started again, going over
tue same route just before night, and
wien they got through not worm
was to be seen, except a few on the
buildings above their reach. The next
morning we discovered that the insects
ind attached piec, Of young rye
several inches high. and cleaned one
fourth OF the l)t so that not veshge
of a green thing was to be seen in

Where Do Old Pianos Cog

What becomes Of the old pianos?
They seem to disappear from the world
almost as mysteriously as pins. Per
haps, considering their size. the fact
that the streets are not blocked with
east-off pianos is more curious than
that the face Of the earth fails to be
overlaid with pins. An experienced
dealer says he has known of but three
hat were cut up for ilrewood. Yet
they often sell for little more than so
much pine would bring Lis the GUS
tom Of nest houses to take old instru-
ments and allow something for them.
The deduction is counted as almost
dead loss, but it brings trade. The
old instruments are refitted and pol
ished up, however and sold again-in
many instances becoming the property
of clearinghouse keepers. Boarding
houses are the chief refuge of second
hand pianos Then they are sold by
small dealers to country people all over
the land Men that go into that branch
Of the trade can get pianos pretty
cheap, for the frst-class houses some
times get so overloaded with them that
they are almost willing to pay to have
them carried away Boston Traveller.
