Des Moines, Ia-Twenty miles south

farm in the west. 1t is operated by
John w. Griggs, hunter and trap
per of pioneer days, who has herd
of 100 deer from which he yearly re-
allies a good profit.
Griggs' farm has been a geological
retreat for years. First he reared
wolves, then wild geese, then ante.
lope, then elk, and now deer. He be-
gan Is years ago with pair of Vir-
ginia deer and has experimental with
white tails, black tails and other hy-
birds. but the climate of Iowa has
evolved a type OF the northern deer
as the one hardy enough for all pur-
poses.
Griggs pays as much attention to
the breeding of the deer as the aver
age former does to the breeding OF
horses This is necessary TO prevent
inbreeding, which means scrubs. The
mating season Is In November, the
fLwns are born In May or June and
by fall the spots have all left the
fawns and their normal coat of hair
appears.
Deer in captivity breed as well as in
the wild state. Young does usually

SILK FARM IN CITY

my father-in-law, who is native of
Rome, has had IA years experience.
They tried to get some of his Sc
crets from him down in Washington,
but he is wise. When the trees are
of good size land that will be in about
two years) we will send to Rome for
worms. After that the culture will
be merely a case of watching worms
and trees. You know, the worms get
sick, and they have to be taken care
of and cured, or they will die.
THE trees begin to bud April 25,
and then the tender young branches
are given to the worms. Later the
worms are fed with tender leaves.
They will only eat from one side of
leaf, and for some reason they
would rather starve to death than
touch the other side. OF course, all
the worms are not allowed to reach
the butterfly stage they ruin the CO.
coon by breaking the silk strands.
So, when the cocoon is formed the
worm is killed. Others are allowed
to reach the butterfly stage and lay
eggs to be Matched the following year.
There are about thirty-nine thou
sand eggs to the ounce, and this mum.

hundred pounds of cocoons.
IF we are successful at Somers
Point we shall take larger place and
cultivate more extensively. 1t is
largely a matter of sufficient food

of inquiry to all freshmen who have
been dropped from their classes in the

their studies. Some of the questions
asked by Prof. Miner are:
WAS there too much or too little So

"Was it a lack of application or a
lack of preparation"
was it love affairs?"
WAS it bad habits?"
The nature of the replies to the in.

four or five times a day and are not

leaves taken from the trees.

to the solar system, moving about the
sun in long eelipses and paraholas.

ion professor of geometry at Harvard

beloved master by computing the or.
bits for "a comets from 1887 to 1898
AS an accidental outcome of this
he discovered that the orbits of three
OF themthose OF 1881, 1907 and 1867
were 50 nearly alike as to suggest
the identity of the comets. The
period of their appearances varied
between "A and 76 years. but this
