Probably no other American legend

completely captivated the fancy of
Mrs. John Gowen of Hickory Ridge,
Pa.
Several weeks ago a resident OF
Hickory Ridge discovered that sew.
eral fine cherry trees on his property
had been ruthlessly chopped down.
There was no conceivable reason why
the trees should have been destroyed,
and the identity of the offender re-
manned a mystery until Mrs. Gowen
voluntarily acknowledged that she
had done the chopping.
In the prosecution that followed 1t
developed that Mrs. Gowen had no
substantial reason for Telling the
trees. 1t appeared. however, that she
had a consuming hatred OF falsehood
and had chopped down the cherry
trees merely in order to gain an op-
portunity to prove that she could not
tell lie.

mouth OF the hole, lit his lantern and
waited.
1t seemed a long time to dawn and
the farm hand felt drowsy. He
aroused himself and walked about the
hole several times to keep awake. but
was finally overcome. and before he
knew 1t was sound asleep In the snow.
Williams arose with start. The
sun was brightly shining. and the
snow swiftly melting about him. He
gave one hurried glance into the hole
from him he saw an animal walking
leisurely in the direction OF White
Horse. He believed his ground hog
was escaping, and Immediately start
ed in pursuit. He took the animal un.
awares, and the capture was easy.
Holding his prey under one arm he
started for the village. When he was
espied coming down the road with HIS
captive there was mighty cheer from
a crowd which had gathered. 1t was
the proudest moment Of Williams
life. AS he walked into the crowd he

upon the lower-slope soils and consti-
tute excellent forage crops. Another
good stock food is cassava, a crop that
gives large yield with minimum Of
attention. 1t might be well to say
here that fine cattle. particularly the
large, strong oxen as draft animals in
portions of Costa RIGA, are fed al
most exclusively upon chopped stalks
of plantian. banana and sugar cane.
I'm the latter part OF the dry sea-
son the grasses of the canal zone are
generally 30 parched that very little
sustenance can be secured from
cleared pastures. But stored forage
and crops like cassava, sugar cane,
sorghum, banana stalks, etc, could be
depended upon to carry stock through
the dry months to the rainy season
the season of green grass and other
bilities for the local production Of
forage crops there is no necessity for
the present relatively large importa-
lions at high prices of grain. hay and
other feeds by the few who are oper-

time Of this survey the price of shelled

VERY few hogs and goats are raised
in the canal zone. A considerable
number of hogs and goats are import
ed from points along the Pacific coast,
and hogs principally from the Province

Some poultry is raised by native and
canal employees. In view OF the ruling
high prices there is unquestionably q
good opening for raising both pork
and poultry. Away from the noisy
activities of canal construction the
depredations of wild animals such as
the tiger cat and jaguar would likely
entail some loss to these industries.
Small farming. including the pro-
duction of vegetables and choice trop.

ably with the application of intensive
methods. coupled with proper care in
