Rife and SHOTGUN Combined.

Four-barreled guns are recent In.
vention of an eastern gunsmith. They
generally have two rifle and two shot,
gun barrels, although the arrangement
is occasionally varied, Two shotgun
barrels of the same gauge are usually
placed on top, while below them are
two rife barrels, one Of high callbe-
and the other Of low caliber. In some
designs the rife barrels are placed one
above and one below the two shotgun
barrels. This type of gun, 1t is
thought, will be of particular advan.
tage for hunting In territory where
wide variety of game abounds. The
weight of the guns is about eight and
half pounds.

To protec. plsnts.

Growers placed parchment cones
over the hills of cantGoupes to pro
tect the young plants against insects
at the suggestion of the county extern
sion agent in Dona Ana county, New
Mexico. 1t was found that the tenn
perature under the cones remained
from five to ten degrees above that of
the outside air, so that plants under
them were not injured by a light

that the covers paid for themselves in
securing better and more uniform ger
