Missouri Deer Farm.

In a half developed hill-coun-

farming at a loss or at a profit.
Chalmer Roseberry, of Stella,
Mo-, has half a dozen of these
side lines, snd the most unusual
of them, deer farming, has in
recent years proved the most re
munerative. There was no de-
mand at all for deer in the Ozark
hills when a little over 20 years
ago as a boy of 16 Roseberry
penned off one and a half acres
for a fawn which a neighbor
gave him for a pet. The first
fawns that the young deer far

for the animals for parks and

Gently has got far ahead of the

and SIS to $85 for a pair of

A Year Without a Summer.

The weather vagaries of the
last six months sharpen ones
appreciation of the account of
the summerless year of 1916,
which, according to the Danbury
Conn, News, is found in the
pages of an old diary begun in
1910 and kept unbroken until
1910. January was so mild
that most persons allowed their
fires to go out and did not burn
wood except for cooking. Feb
rUary was not cold. March,
from the 1st to the 9th, was in
clined to be windy. April came
in warm, but as the days grew
longer the air became colder and
by the 1st of May there was a
temperature like that of winter
with plenty of snow and ice. In
May the young buds were frozen
dead, ice formed half an inch
thick on ponds and rivers, corn
was killed and the cornfelds
were planted again and again
until it became too late to raise a
crop. June was the coolest
month of roses ever experienced
in this latitude. Snow fell 10
inches deep in Vermont. There
was a 7 inch fall in the interior
of New York State and the same
in Massachusetts,. Ali summer
long the wind blew steadily from
the north in blasts, laden with
snow and ice. On the 18th of Ju-
ly ice as thick as window glass
formed throughout New Eng
land, New York, and in some
parts Of Pennsylvania. To the
of every body, August
proved the worst month of all. |
