owing TO these weather conditions.
The early potato crop is being dug and
MANY find the yield is not more than one
half. lut the prices are much
better than they were during the winter,
when potatoes could hardly be given
away.
The supply of corn in the local markets
is very scarce, as many farmers are keep
ing their extra supply in case the crop
this wear proves failure.
The tomato crop is looking less en-
couraging all time, az q small inject

Sparrow Pies.


 Jacob Riis describes in one of his delightful essays how the good old housekeeper in his Danish home used to climb to the caves to rob the spar rowS nests for . delectabls pie Now Mr. James Hunt of Philadelphia, who is crusading against the English spar TOW, advocates the pie as the true des- tiny of the sparrow. He furnished the sparrows for such pie opened In Washington recently at a luncheon served by the Philadelphia Public Led ger.
 The guests declared that the pie was good, and the flavor of the sparrow was superior to chicken and equal to partridge. Washington boys found this out long ago in their secret sparrow roasts, where dozens of these tidbits were spitted on wires before the blaze and devoured by these food pirates.
 Cleaning a sparrow is simple mat ter of cutting the breast away from all other parts and skinning. Special traps are used for catching sparrows. These are set near favorite rookeries and dozens of sparrows are caught at a time.
