HIS GARDEN SINKS TEN FEET
Jersey Farmer Fears He'll Have Only
Hole In the Ground
Left.

Belvidere, N. Johnston Cornish,
a farmer of Harmony township, has a
sunken garden that is being created
by nature and he fears daily that the
bottom will drop out and leave him
with only hole in the ground.
The trouble started after storm
some days ago, when depression
was noticed in one of the fields plant
ed with garden truck. Steadily this
depression has grown until a consid-
cradle area is affected. Now the
earth is from ten to twelve feet lower
than it was two weeks ago.
1t is thought an underground stream
of considerable size, having it's source
somewhere up in the hills, has been
slowly eating away the underlying
strata, thus allowing the surface to
sink. Examination along the Della
ware river does not indicate any new
spring breaking into it, but it is
thought one has broken out in the bed
of the stream.
Last winter a section of the public
highway some distance from the
Cornish farm caved in and left con-
siderable hole, but it was filled in and
no trouble has been experienced there
since.

RAISE GAME BIRDS.
Minnesota Folk Plan to Cultivate
Wild Duck.
Will Also Go i'm For Quail and Pleas
ant, IF Market for Them Develops
To Distribute From 5000
to 10000 Eggs.

Minneapolis.-Mo than 100 resi-
dents on the $4,000 acres of land with
in the Minnetonka game refuge will
raise mallard ducks, pheasants and
quail next season and if their ex-
periments prove as successful as
those of people in other states, these
three varieties of game birds may
soon be as readily obtainable in the
markets as chickens, turkeys and
geese are now. From 5000 to TO-
600 eggs are to be distributed among
those who will encourage the propaga-
ton of wild life and if the ratio of
young birds to eggs holds true, the
refuge will be heavily stocked, while
outside of it by 1917 there should be
more birds as fair marks for sports
men than there are now under pro-
lection.
Thus, while the refuge remains a
haven wherein fowl may breed, there
will be enough game outside to keep
the huntsmen busy.
It is estimated by Frank D. Blair,
Field Superintendent of the Mime
sofa Game and Fish Protective
league, that within the prescribed
territory about 1000 mallards, from
5000 to 10000 quail and no more than
a dozen pheasants have been taking
shelter.
At the end of two seasons he be-
lieves that there will be 10000 or
10000 birds, the most marked in
crease being among the pheasants-
now very rare-which should be 5000
strong.
1.-THE rate of increase of these wild
birds in captivity is remarkable" said
Mr.. Blair the other day. "Mallards
will lay an average of 40 eggs sea-
son, quail from 80 to so, and pheasants
from 80 to 40. When they are liv-
ing in wild state they usually lay
several patches of eggs and then hatch
out only one batch, while in captiv-
ity all the eggs are saved. Birds
Matched will average roughly about
60 per cent of the eggs.
"The most serious difficulty con-
fronting those who experiment in the
propagation of wild birds is in keep
ing them separated from poultry.
They are especially susceptible to dis
eases that are communicated from
coops and land where chickens have
been. A bantam hen is most generally
used to set on the eggs and frequently
breeders make the mistake of turning
the young birds loose in the chicken
yards along with the hen.
'The Minnetonka residents who ex-
pect to raise mallards, pheasants and
quail are actuated by desire to in
crease the number of birds within
the refuge. Though they will be put
to some trouble, the returns eventu-
ally, they believe, will more than off
set the tribulations.

GUIDE TO MARINERS
Perry Memorial on Lake Erie
Proves Its Utility.
Doric column 335 Feet High Is Sur.
mounted by Powerful Lights, Visi-
BILE at Great Distance-De-
signed as Monument.

Sandusky, O.-The Doric column or
main shaft of the Perry memorial at
Put-in-Bay, recently completed, has
come to be considered an important
landmark by Great Lakes region mar
iners. Visible by day from points afar,
it serves as guide through the
northern course, between the Cana
dian mainland and the shores of the
islands comprising the Lake Erie
archipelago, and the treacherous
south passage, between the islands
on the south and the Ohio shores. By
night its powerful lights can be seen
from almost any point in Lake Erie
between Cleveland on the east and
Toledo and Detroit on the west.
In the United States lake surveys
current bulletin the shaft is described
as located at about the middle Of
the low, narrow neck of land forming
the southernmost shore of Put-in-Bay
island, in approximately latitude Al
degrees, 80 minutes and IA seconds
north; longitude 80 degrees, 4S min
utes and Al seconds west"
The government officially describes
the shaft as "a Doric column of white
granite, surmounted by a bronze
tripod and bowl containing electric
lamps which cast an indirect illu-
mination through a plate glass COW
ering," and mentions that "the column
is As feet in diameter at the base and
335 feet in height, measured from the
terrace at its base to the top Of the
tripod, and forms conspicuous land
mark from the lake.
The cornerstone of the shaft was
laid September 10, 1918, the one hun
dredth anniversary Of the battle of
Lake Erie, In the presence of repre-
sentatives of the national government
and the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, New
York, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Mime
sofa and Louisiana.
The memorial as whole was de-
signed as monument to Commodore
Oliver Hazard Perry and his men,
victors in the battle fought on Putin
Bay that permanently fixed the pres
ent boundary line between the United
States and Canada in the Great Lakes
section and on east to the Atlantic.
For one hundred years the gallant
Perry and his men had been all but
forgotten, the only tribute to their
memory being little pyramid of
rusty cannon balls in one of the pub
lie parks at Put-in-Bay.
It was after the memorial had been
designed that the possibilities that
strong rays of light shed from the top
of the Doric column or main shaft
might be the means Of saving lives or
serve to protect against an enemy
became apparent and steps were taken
to establish the landmark that the
federal government has pust rec
ognized.
The Doric column is little more than
a central point around which much
costly structural work remains to be
done. A museum is to be erected at
the right of tho plaza, in the center of
which it rests. A statue fianked by
colonnade typifying Peace and Arbi-
tration, will be erected on the left.
The work is of such a nature that it
must necessarily proceed slowly.
There is every promise, however, that
at the end of another year the plans
will have been brought to full fruition.
