PIGS AS LAWN MOWERS.

A curious but successful experiment
is being made on number of private
lawns in knet and is about to be tried
by a golf club in the neighborhood OF
Greenhithe The idea is the novel one
of substituting the guinea pig for the
moving machine and the weed killer.
Around the lawn is arranged a low
wire barrier and into the Enclosure are
turned a number of guinea pigs. or
better, Il passage is made from their
hutch to the lawn. According to Con-
sular and Trade Reports, the animals
at once attack all the worst weeds,
the plaintains first, then the dande
lions and daisies.
These bruad-leaved plants, which no
moving machine will touch, are killed
By the persistent cutting of the guinea
pigs teeth. When they have finished
the weeds which are broad -leayed and
suceulent they proceed to the grass.
J In short time the lawn looks as II 1t
had been cut by the closest machine
The persistent cutting of the leaves
kills the weeds, which can stand AL
most any other treatment, but does no
harm to the grass.
one lawn formerly a mass of weeds
has been made to grow nothing but
the finer grasses. Another is still
under process of treatment. The half
|of it in which the guinea pigs were
first set to work has been cut quite
even and very close For goliing II ~
as fast again as it was under the ad-
|ministration of the moving machine
and not a weed is visible. The other
half, where the animals have just been
turned loose. is mass of dandeNons.
In this neighborhood it has been
| found that the guinea pigs do not SUI
| fer at all by being left to work in VIII
| ter as well as in summer. Indeed. they
tare healthier than under the usual
treatment Of those who keep them as
| pets. An astonishing demand for tho
animals has grown up in the neighbor-
hood. and If the inland golf clubs,
which have great difficulties with plan
tains take to the new method tine

The above building although not an
imposing structure to look at, has the
unique distinction of being the only
Italian bakery in Somerset county, or
this section of the State 1t is owned
and operated by Felix Ricci, Madison,
and it's sole product is the hard bread
so much used by the Italian laborer
with his beer. Two barrels of flour are
used daily, and two native Italian ba-
kers are kept busy all the time. After
baking the bread is put into ordinary
burlap short sacks with little care as
to cleanliness. AT the present time
the greater part of the bread is ship
ped To Bingham, Deadwater. and
Kineo. but it is sent to any point
where gang of Italian laborers hap

formerly made in Waterville but as
the manufacturer went out of business
