Last fall had large bed of let
tuce from seed which had fallen off
the old stalks. I protected it from
frost and snow by placing boards
around the beds and making the
south side three inches lower than
the north side. Thus it had a
southern slant. l drove sticks on
either side of the boards and bank
ed earth around before the ground
froze. then placed two window
sashes over the bed, making their
edges fit closely together. Occas-
ionally l lifted the window sash and
sprinkled lukewarm water upon the
lettuce. At night 1 covered the bed
with old carpet. l had fine dishes
of lettuce on Thanksgiving and New
Years days. When the snow came
l still had lettuce, and even in Feb
ruary am still cutting it.

Harriman's Castle to be Completed.
Mrs. Edward H. Hartman, widow
of the railroad head, to whom he
left all his 100000 estate, fl
nally has determined to complete
the construction of the vast noun
tain palace at Arden, N. Y, where
her husband died, and make it her
chief abiding place. The news of
her decision was obtained from G..
T. Ford, general superintendent of
Arden Farms.
By the completion of the Arden
House and of the elaborately plan
ned improvements of the $4,000
acre stretch of mountain and meadow
land which the place overlooks, Mrs.
Hartman will become the mistress
of one of the worlds most costly
country homes. Its total cost, it is
estimated, will reach $10,00O,000.

600 Are Unclaimed by the
Earthquake Victims.
Rome, Italy.-Jewelry and other
valuables which the military authori-
ties have collected from the ruins of
Messina and for which no claimants
can be found are estimated to be
worth $20,0O0.OC0.
This vast collection Of riches is
heaped up in the subterranean vaults
of the citadel and In wooden shelters,
and is intrusted entirely to the hon.
esty of four officers, who have not
even sufficient soldiers to guard the
shelters.
In one of these shelters the SOL
diers have constructed rough shelves,
on which diamonds and gold are piled
in the most extraordinary manner. A
small cardboard box, the size Of a
matchbox, contains necklace Of
pearls valued at over $4,000; between
an old pair Of boots and a pair of
oars there is a single envelope con-
tanning State bonds of 100000 made
out to bearer.
In another small wooden box lies a
diamond solitaire, worth a fortune,
which was registered by the soldiers
as white stone. Further on petro-
leum can contains gold coins amount
ing to $4,000.
There are also safes innumerable
filled with hundreds of gold watches,
rings. chains, bracelets, earrings, pock-
ethooks, and treasures of all sorts.
All these riches have been found in
the superficial excavations carried on
up to the present, while the wealthiest
part of the town-the first and second
floors and the cellars-is still un-
touched.

HEALTH ABOVE BRAINS.

Radcliffe College Instructor Would
Bar WeakIing Matriculants.
Cambridge, Mass.-Miss Elizabeth
Wright, physician instructor at Rad
cliffe College, has decided views as
to allowing delicate young women or
those who will not take gymnasium
work to matriculate. She believes
that a perfectly healthy body should
take precedence over perfectly
moulded brain.
A young woman unequipped with
health, she says, has lost one Of her
most valuable weapons with which to
fight the world, and one who will not
seek physical perfection is an object
Of pity.
Miss Wright advocates that physi-
cal training stand high among the
list of studies and that a high mark
in this branch be made compulsory.

HORNS FATAL TO SNAKE.
Huge Python Dining on a Goat Meets
Its Death.


Its Death.
Logansport, Ind.-A twenty-dve-foot
python in the Lambrigger exhibition
here upon showing signs of hunger
had a small live goat put in its den.
The python sprang forward and wrap
ped its huge body about the terrified
goat. The bones were crushed like
eggshells and life was squeezed out
Of the animal in the twinkle Of an
eye The snake then began to cover
the crushed body with saliva. When
this was done 1t started to swallow
the body whole.
One of the goats horns became i'm
bedded in the python's throat, and in
the snakes effort to obtain relief the
horn severed an artery. In its dying
agonies the python lashed and squirm-
ed, breaking out one side of its cage.

PAINTING FRUIT TREES.
Peach Trees Should Not be Painted,
Says Prof, Surface

Peach Trees Should Not be Painted,
Says Prof. Surface.
A physician, who is interested in
fruit culture, wrote to Prof. H. A.
Surface, State Zoologist, Harris
burg, in reference to painting trees
with white lead and linseed oil, as a
protection against borers, as fol-
lows:
"In the Reading Eagle / saw a
report of your demonstration given
at the Poor House grounds at Shil-
lington, showing the advantage OF
painting trunks of trees with white
lead and raw linseed oil for borers.
We have done this, but since heard
that some Shillington fruit growers
lost a great number of trees by this
method. l write to you, asking as
to the advantage of this treatment,
and if there is danger of smothering
the trees by painting them
The answer of State Zoologist
Surface follows:
Replying to your letter of recent
dale, beg to say that / am deeply
interested in your statement that
you have heard that the Shillington
fruit growers lost a number of trees
by painting them with white lead
and linseed oil. l must acknowl-
edge that this is news to me, as
have not been informed concerning
such loss.
However, l do know that tens of
thousands of trees have been painted
with this material in this State with
out injury to them. OF course, you
understand, that / recommend paint
ing only apple, pear and ounce
trees, as there is no advantage in
painting peach trees, and the last
named is more delicate than the
others. Nevertheless, two years ago
l painted my young peach trees, and
this year took my most abundant
and best crop of peaches from the
trees that had been painted.
l can not believe that painting
has hurt the trees to which you re-
fer, unless boiled oil or impure
material were used. / should like to
be informed as to just what persons
lost their trees by painting them /;
how many they lost and under what
conditions. l should then like to
trace up this information and see
what material was used, and where
it was procured.
/ have seen tens of thousands of
trees painted in Adams county by
the extensive fruit growers of that
county without any danger to any
of the trees. They are continuing
it after four or five years of sue
cessful practice.
Il think there is no advantage in
painting peach and plum trees (un-
less it be for rabbits and mice), and,
therefore, do not recommend it,

light.
Eighteen hens that were fed milk
last winter, laid more eggs than 100
fed on cut bone and meat.
A flock might Just as well roost
in trees as in a house full of cracks
and holes, which chills the birds
in spots and produces bad colds.
A hen too fat gets lazy; she takes
no interest in life. One too poor
cares nothing about her egg record.
The happy medium is a happy hen.
Some people are willing to pay an
extra price for eggs of one color.
Many people get a cent or more a
dozen for sorting their hen fruit ac-
cording to size and color.
On some farms the young chick
ems are allowed to roost outdoors
during the summer and fall. They
should at once be trained to winter
quarters, and the sooner this is done
the better.
1 should rather have one happy
hen than two grumpy ones. A hap
py hen is the one that fattens the
pocketbook; hen with a crouch
isn't worth her space, no matter
what her breed may be.

while to remember that an earth
floor is unhealthful when the loca.

drained. With this kind of loca.
tion it will pay to put in a board

Big Crops, More Work, Better Times

Big Crops, More Work, Better Times.
A rosy picture of prosperity is
foreseen by the sentinels on the edi-
tor1al watch-towers as they survey
the ripening fields of grain that will
in a few weeks pour their wealth
into the nations granary. The tre-
mendous yield of corn, wheat, oats,
rye, and other crops is expected to
fill the pockets of the farmer and
the vaults of the rural banks, tax the
capacity of the railroads, give work
to the idle, and reduce the cost of
living by lowering prices of food
stuffs. The exceptional condition of
the cereal crop moves the Chicago
Post to question how even YIN
Hill could find anything to deplore
in the outlook" and, paradoxically,
the comparative meagreness of the
cotton crop is cause for congratu-
lation among some Southern agricul-
means high prices.
The features of the latest Govern
ment report on cereals, as summar-
lied by the New York Journal of
Commerce, are:
First A $4,000, 0O,OOO,OOO-bushel
corn crop, which has never been ex-
ceeded and has only been closely
approached, namely, by the 1927
6,O00-bushel crop of 1906.
'Second-A total wheat yield ex-
ceeding 700,000,000 bushels. This
has only twice been exceeded, name
ly, by the 1906 harvest of 735,OOO,-
600 and by the 1901 harvest of 74S,-
100000.
'"Third-An oats crop of 1927
100000 bushels, which has never
been eQualed."
In addition the rye crop is above
the ten-year average and the pros
poets are for a fair average yield
of buckwheat, hay, and potatoes
The New York Press estimates that
aside from the more direct benefit
to farmer and consumer, the task
of moving this giant harvest will tax
the resources of the trunk lines to
the utmost and will busy a million
men in handling freight on the rail-
ways alone, exclusive of many more
employed on steamers and lighters
on the water and in truckage in the
shipping centers. The Washington
correspondent of a New York paper
says:
THE crop analysis here shows that
more grain than ever before grew tc
maturity in a single year in the
United States already has been har.
vested or is rapidly approaching ma
turity. Never, except once, has
there been more wheat; never be-
fore has there been so much market
able corn or so much oats. And nev.
er before have three bumper crops
come together in the same year,

skim-milk, which are splendid egg
producing foods; and also include
parched corn and Kafr-corn in the
bill of fare.
Take no chances by having too
many chickens together in one flock.
II you see they are getting to be
crowded in their winter quarters,
make thrift and health a certainty
by dividing them up, or selling some
of them.
You may have an idea that poul-
try can hunt their own grit. You
are wrong. Grit is as essential as
feed. Get a grit box, fill it with
crushed rock and oyster-shell, and
hang it on the wall where dirt will
not be scratched into it.
One of the best methods of keep
ing the poultry house warm in winter
at small cost, is to keep the floor
well Uttered with dirt, cut straw,
hay or leaves to the depth of from
three to six inches. This prevents
against loss of heat and cold cur
rents from below.
