Have any of our readers ever tried
the ferret as a means of getting rid of |
the pocket gopher? We should be glad
to hear from them If they have, or to
receive the details of any other plan
that has been found successful in Grad
icating the pest.
A poultry fancier living near Chicago
will this year raise 5000 English

Under modern scientific methods the
art of ALTERNATING has attained such

Pasadena, Cal, have conceived the

A commendable sanitary precaution
which has been taken by one enter
prising western city consists in the ap-
pointment of an assistant health physi-
clan to inspect all fruits and vegetables

tons which are decayed and likely to
produce disease.
We are asked whether popcorn is
paying crop to grow where other corn
does well. 1t Is not as a general thing.
There is often considerable difficulty
connected with drying and storing the
latter crop, while the market for 1t Is
far away and very fluctuating. An
other fact that it is well to take into
account Is that popcorn stalks have lit
tie or no feeding value.
