Snakes Friends Of Far ner.


A correspondent who is interested
IN snakes as we'll as flowers and BIRDS
and the orher more popular thinga in
nature writes that he has gratif.i ing
success in locating snakes by merely
listening for their rustling In the dry
leaves. II ones ears are speci ally
trained for, snake noises there IL no
good reason why. this method shfhld
not be really practical. Unquestionebly

Unless we almost step on him we sell
dom know that he il lurking near at
hand and remaining very still in the
hope that he, will not be noted. All
our snakes are practically defenseless
They are not only iuTnensive and tim
i'd creatures, but AFRO highly useful
friends OF, the sfarnrfr. Possibly the
baby snakes are in less, danger than
the adults. The little fellows are less
conspicuous, and, as before noted, they
can hide 10 very small refugees :! +,

, PEAT LAND PROBLEMS

AZ important step towards the so
ution OF the great problem o. re-
claiming Minnesota's 100000 acres
Of neat soils, about. one-eighth OF the
nurface Of the state, has bean taken
81 the Minnesota Department Of Agrt.
culture In the publication q - l oul,
( letin Oh Agricultural Value and
Reclamation Of ,Minnesota's Peat
Soils" by F. J. Away, chle1 OF the
departments division of soils. Z
The bulletin says frankly that
many misconceptions as to Minneso-
fa's neat: lands and the methods OF
making them productive have existed
and that as q result great sums OF
money have been spent in digging
bitches on the strength of the prev
. ling, belief that drainage would
make such lands productive. BY such
drainage the land has often been
made so dry that they now produce
little or no hay whereas they were
once useful for that purpose. Fur
thermore, being extremely dry, they
sometimes become seats OF t1res anu
sources of great danger to settlers.
! The author believes, on the basis
Of, European experience, that peat
lands are eminently adapted for tame
meadows and pastures, but are IN
promising fol-, forestry. He says they
have also, been shown to be able to
prodace good crops Of vegetables. for
axe and grains where the climate per
mits.a The use Of bogs for agricul-
ture tends to hasten their develop
ment for industrial purposes, such as
the manufacture Of fuel. power gas,
charcoal, stable litter and even pa
per and textiles. ....
Drainage, however, is the first es-
eential in retaining such soils, but
steps in this direction should be taken
with caution until those who wish to
develop the lands have satisfied them
selves by systematic investigations
and small scale trials that reclama-
ton will prove profitable.
The author further discusses the
desirability of burning the surface
layer on peat boys, the method OF
farming, required cost of reclamation
and the possibility of simple field
tests, along with many of the other
subordinate problems.

Cured His Rupture

I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses dId me no good Finally I got hold of something that quickly and com pletely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never returned. although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation. no lost time no trouble. I have nothing to sell. but will give full information about how you may find a complete cure without operation if you write to me. Eugene NJ.
