No Problem At All,

John Burroughs, who has recently
pointed out the scientific falsity of the
nature books" that attribute a quite
human intelligence and sensitiveness
to wild animals is student of the
life of Benjamin Franklin, and has at
his tongues end number of Frank
lin stories that are but little known
According to one OF these stories. a
Philadelphia neighbor of Franklin said
to him one day:
81 keep barrel of beer in nv back
yard, and unprincipled persons climb
the fence at night with pals and
pitchers to rob me- It is necessary
for me to keep the beer in this yard; ;
have no other place for it. Can't
you devise for me, then-since you
are so clever-some way of preserving
my beer from these thieves?"
What you must do" said Frank
lin, is this. Beside your beer, you
must put cask of fine Madeira. Keen
this cask full, and I'll warrant that as
long as you do so your beer will re-
main untouched"

LAND SINKS is TO 20 FEET.
Sunken Portion Varies in Width from
aFew Feet to Several Rods.
DIR. HATHAWAY.

A few mornings ago people who re-
side on the road between Alton lake
and the Susquehanna river, near Coop
erstown, ". Y, were astonished when
they went out Of doors to see that dur
ing the night the land for distance of
an eighth OF mile had dropped from
10 to 20 feet.
The sunken portion varied in width
from a few feet to several rods. The
trees and shrubbery on the sunken
land remain standing just as before.
Fortunately there were no buildings
on this particular strip, although
there were some near 1t.
The theory Is advanced that there
is a subterranean river beneath the
land there. Such a condition would
solve the problem Of the outlet of At
ton lake, which has always been n
subject of much discussion.-New
York Sun.

GREEN FEED FOR POULTRY.
Where fowls are shut up in summer
in a yard or Enclosure I grow a green
crop especially for them in out-of-the
way corners of the garden. The crops
l have found best are lettuce, rape and
mangels for winter. I sow the lettuce
or cabbage seed quite thickly and let
it get good size before cutting. When
cut off they will grow out again, and
thus q small patch will give an abund-
ance of green food from July till frost.
The lettuce is much better for cabbage,
for the hens will eat every particle of
it. The sugar beet and mangel seed
is sown in May and can be thinned
out and transplanted when large
enough. Every day through the winter
take one Of the roots, split it nearly to
the tip and hang it up in the hen house.
The reason why in so many cases
hens fail to lay in winter and warm
weather is that they need plenty of
green feed. 1t cannot take the place OF
grain, as it is Of low food value, but as
an adjunct to the grain ration, and to
keep the fowls healthy a plentiful sup
ply, both in summer and winter, is nee
essary. Beet leaves, turnip and carro
tops are also good in summer, but moth
ing appears to be relished so much al
lettuce. The mangels and sugar beets
can be boiled in the winter and mixed
with bran and little is then wasted

The carnation industry has risen to
considerable Importance during the
last ten years. AS 100000 of young
carnation plants are sold each year
and florists produce an equal number
which are not sold, the entire produc-
ton of young carnation plants approx
mates 100000 per annum. These
plants are grown under glass during
the winter time for cut flower pur-
pt ses, producing an annual average
OF more than 100000 blooms.

FLOWING KILLS GRASSHOPPERS.

The best Of all artificial grasshopper
remedies where it can be used Is plow-
ing deeply late in the fall or early In
the spring all the ground where eggs
are abundant. Even the young hop
pers, when very small. may be turned
under quite successfully in this man
ner and destroyed.
Where blowing cannot be resorted to,
n thorough narrowing. especially with
a disc harrow, will do much to destroy
the eggs. Some will be crushed, others
will be eaten by birds, and still others
will succumb to the freezing and thaw-
ing and drying when separated from
the egg mass. These remedies must be
applied before the young hoppers
hatch.-C. z. Gillette, in The Cultiya-
