T This is probably Inc first tiDie
 during the present winter that

 remained with us during tho

 and throw a few crumbs on the bare spots ko that the birds may pick ID enough Co sustain life for the day. In doing thls one
 should be careful tO make the
 feeding sDOts a reasonable dIss
 tance from barns or other buildings sO that the cat may not iie in walt for the birds and
 jump upon them from place of

 some very nice song birds have
 remained here, and everybody
 should take an interest IH ihfni, They wiN repay us after e few

THE PUERTO RICO DEEP.
 (NaW York Timesl

Oceanographic work of this time of the year in Puerto Rican waters must be a joy to scientists-espec- tally when their mother-ship is MT Eldridge R. Johnson's team yacht Caroline. She has begun to ex- plore the Puerto Rico Deep, which, according to the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, has been sounded to 4,662 fathoms (27.972 feet). It is the deepest basin in the Atlantic. The greatest known depth of all the oceans was reported by the German cruiser Emden while on a voyage from the Celebes Islands to Nagasaki, 34,- 416 feet. According to Dr Paul Bartsch of the Smithsonian Institu- ton, there has been no attempt to plumb, search and study the Puer- to Rico Deep since the Challenger Whose voyage around the world is famous-made soundings with a hempen rope and conducted what Investigations were possible with the then existing equipment. The Caroline, fitted out with depth cables and sounding devices and furnished with a laboratory by MT Johnson, will map the bottom of the ocean, bring up its inhabit- ants with travis, study the "Sta- tionary Wave Theory of Tides" take the temperature of the water at different depths and analyze it.
 Patrons of polar expeditions have headlands, mountains and islands named after them. The owner of the Caroline is already identified with 8 mollusk never reported before. It will be known as Clava Johnsoni Bartsch. Under water photographs are to be taken at different depths. Two winches on board lower wire ropes with nets to the bottom of the sea. A load of five tons can be brought to the surface. "A man wants some good excuse for having a yacht these days MT Johnson has said. Dr Bartsch and his assistants will furnish the excuse. They hope to bring home cr0ss-secrions of all the life in the waters of the Puer. to Rico deep.

 Does anyone now live who re- available on the farm when hog was butchered? There is no need recounting the long list of eatables that may be developed from hogs carcass. A person either knows them or he doesn't. If he knows, then he is perhaps worse off than the person who never knew, and therefore can get nc manner of thrill out of the fact that over on Parker Hill road, Xii. 1ingworth, was "the largest hos ever butchered in MiddleseS county" There is in Mir Heft's hefty hos some clue, it may be, as to ho@ to beat the depression. At least . momentary consideration of the Associated Press item that an- nounced the animals demise may for an equal length of time have lifted a mind out of the deep gully. And that is something.
