Grizzly Bear Is Fond of
Big Variety of EatabIeS

The appetite of the grizzly is one
of the few drawbacks to his domestica-
ton. His tastes are not limited, but
he deals in large quantities. In some
respects the grizzly is dainty feeder.
He is fond, for instance, of violets, and
will eat several pounds if he can find
them. He likes rosebuds and will de-
YOUR almost any sort of bulb. On the
other hand, he will eat meat of any
age. Apples and turnips are perhaps
his favorite delicacies, but he also is
fond of honey. Usually, he eats the
bees with it. Wasps, yellow jackets,
grasshoppers, ants and their eggs,
bugs and all sort of grubs are also on
his menu. Other delicacies which he
enjoys are snakes, rats, mice and rab-
bits.

Lake That pisanpears.

In Georgia. near Vladosta, there is
a lake which disappears every three
or four years and then comes back
again, no matter what the weather is
like. The lake is three miles long
and three-quarters of mile wide,
with an average depth of II feet of
water. There are natural subterra-
mean passages beneath it, through
which the water passes off. 1t takes
two or three weeks to disappear, when
a mammoth basin is left in its place,
which furnishes a beautiful sandy
beach. After a month or so the water
begins to return, and then in couple
OF weeks it is the same magnificent
stretch of water as it was before

Corn Remains What 1t Was
Before Columbus Landed

The early Indians grew flint corn for
hominy and flour corn for bread and
soups. They invented "succotash,''
composed Of maize and beans, with
butter and salt added. We owe to them
all of our best recipes for the prepara-
ton of corn, not excepting 'hoecake''
and cornbreads.
Corn remains today what it was be-
fore Columbus landed, the great Amer
lean food crop. Our last years crop
of maize, loaded on wagons in single
file and allowing 20 feet to each wag-
on. would make line long enough to
encircIe the globe nine and a half

WORDS OF WISE MEN

In a strong mind fear grows
up into cautious sagacity, grief
into amiable tenderness.
What we do not believe is Of
no Importance. The secret of
life is to discover what we be-
lieve.
1t is usually not so much the
greatness of our trouble, but the
littleness of our spirit, that
makes us complain.
Sorrow does not really change
people; it only develops what is
already in them that which they
bring to it they will reap from
it.

HINTS FOR The
POULTRY GROWER

Chicken mites are a constant men
duction, hinder growth, reduce vitality
and sometimes cause the death of set
ting hens.
The poultrykeeper must maintain a
constant warfare on these pests that
reduce his profits.
They multiply very rapidly in warm
weather. Their life cycle from egg to
adult requires only about a weeks
time Blood is essential for the de-
velopment of the mite in all stages
Of growth. They are active at night
when the hens are on the roosts, and
chicks are in the cOops, sucking blood
nntil they are full and then returning
to cracks and crevices during the day.
To combat them, hiding places must
be reduced to the minimum, and an
effective spray must penetrate every
crack and crevice where they may be
hiding.
There are a number of good mix
lures that have proven effective in
controlling these insects:
Crude petroleum thinned with one
part of kerosene to four quarts. of
crude oil is cheap, and retains its kill
ing power for several weeks. Five
parts cream of lime, one part creOlin,
and one part kerosene is a favorite
mixture with many poultrymen. Pure
kerosene and kerosene emulsion, are
used with success, if frequently ap-
piled.
These mixtures should be forced
into all their hiding places with a
sprayer or brush.
Remove as many internal appli-
ances as possible, roosts, nests, hop
pers, etc., and give them an applica-
ton of the mixture out of doors.
To be the most effective, the solu-
lions should be forced into all badly
infested quarters; and sides, floor and
even roof must be treated.
The work should be done on pleas
ant days when the flock can be out.
side, and the coops and poultry house
may be closed for few hours after
applying the mixture so that the wood
work may dry Keep the pests in sub
lection by frequent applications OF
some mixture during the summer
months.

they are the most Industrious people

and the women make straw hats that
find a ready sale among the negroes.
"They will never rise any higher

their rudy faces, stiffly starched blue
