GOES BROKE ON
 TREASURE HUNT

BUDAPEST, Feb. 1.--Diseovery of the grave of Attila the Hun, with rich treasures believed to have been buried with him, is the goal of 30 years of excavations which have brought the financial ruin of a prosperous family.
 Mrs. Ferenc Forgacs, widow of the man who began the digging on Prod Hill, near Hajduboszormeny finally has found a large corri- dor which experts say may lead to the grave.
 She carried on the work for 20 years after the death of her husband, who spent most of his fortune on the work because he dreamed that the grave was in the hill The same dreams came to the widow, she says.

The Northern Sweet melon is

By FerdinandsWiener

This cool weather at this time
should mean a prosperous year, &C
cording to the old proverb, "a
cold April, the farmers granary
will fill" and in view of the fact
that our weather conditions do not
seem to cover a great deal of ter
ritory, we ought to be particularly
thankful. We are apparently begin
ming with a good foundation at the
beginning of the season, so let's be
a little more cheerful again.
A much better time to plant
than this spring can scarcely be
asked for. The generous amount of
moisture and the cool days should
insure success with even the rath-
er careless planter.
Perennials ought to be particu-
larly good this year. The last win
ter has not weakened plants as
much as the previous one, and
with present conditions continuing,
everything points to a wonderful
display a few months from now.
One of the latest perennials in
troduced is the Double Shasta
Daisy. The regular sorts have al
ways been popular, and this new
sort should please flower lovers
more than ever if well grown. The
new type has larger and heavier
foliage, with longer stems for cut
ting. AS yet, a type that will come
100 per cent double has not been
fixed, the present type comes about
so per cent double, while the re-
mainder will be semi-doubles, with
also single flowers. The first bud
Towering for the writer was a
single type, but the large size and
the substance were a pleasant sur
prise. A double bloom we'll filled
out, reminds one of a regular chry-
santhemum, a good bloom will
measure about four inches across.
With a good season, perhaps, a lit
tie better may even be done.
Worthwhile material can be found
in this latest type of Shasta Daisy.
The Mallow Marvels, or Meehan'5
improved Hibiscus will give those
large dinner-plate flowers, lot of
American gardeners are looking
for. These plants have large, heavy
leaves on strong shrub-like wood,
growing up to five feet tall. Bloom
starts in early summer and con-
tinues for some time with shades
of crimson, rose, pink, white, and
other tints in between.
True, the flowers themselves are
not lasting, but new ones are open
ing every day, so there are always
blossoms upon the plants. They
should be given a warm, protected
location with plenty of sun for best
results.
The Hardy Sweet pea is color
full climber or trailer for walls and
fences. 1t is a perennial that will
give satisfaction to every grower,
the plants improving in vigor and
amount of bloom given with age.
The first season, the amount of
blossoms will not be so heavy, as
the plants take a little time in es-
tablishing themselves, but after do

ing so, they will be a pleasure for
years. The flowers, however, are
not fragrant, otherwise they are
much the same as the regular an
nual sweet peas, the colors are
white, pink and red. They thrive
under the same conditions as the
annual variety does.
If raspberry plants have not yet
been planted, it should be done at
once. This Is an ideal spring to

can courageously set out things
now, and look forward for a re-
ward next season. Market berries
may be scarce this season, also per-
haps next season, as paintings suf-

Dahlia lovers, I believe, ought to
be able to enjoy these flowers this
coming summer. Strange as it
seems, the dahlia, although a ma
tive of Mexico, and regions south

weather than with the hot sum-
mers. Doubtlessly, this will be a
cooler summer and nice exhibit Of

Need Grain, Protein To Make
Pigs Paw

Pigs Pay
With their interest in pigs perked
up to a higher pitch than for
several years, owing to the return
of profitable hog prices, farmers
are finding the feeding problem
tougher than usual because of the
shortage of farm grains, says E
F. Ferrin, swine authority Of the
animal husbandry division, Univer-
sity Farm.
While pasture Is necessary for
cheap gains, growing pigs must
also have a reasonable amount Of
grain to keep them in a God thrift
ty condition, Mr.. Ferrin explains.
Even the best of pastures are bull
ky feeds, whereas hogs need con-
siderable amounts of concentrated
feeds because of their limited di-
gestive systems. Experiments
have shown that less than a half
feed of grain results in slow, costly
gains and many runty pigs. A half
ration means about 2 pounds Of
grain daily for each 100 pounds Of
live pig.
Corn is the cheapest grain for
pigs in most parts of the state.
Ground barley is worth IS to 90
per cent as much per pound as
corn. Oats should not be rated
higher than 80 per cent the value
of corn because of the high proper
ton of fiber. Pigs on good pasture
get nearly enough protein from
the green feed, but it will usually
pay to feed some skimmilk, butter
milk, or tankage. Two hundred
pounds of milk, or 6 to z pounds
of tankage, will balance 100 pounds
of grain when pigs have succulent,
green pasture. The greater gains
and thriftiness of the pigs will
more than pay the extra cost OF
the protein feed" Mr.. Ferrin de-
clares.
1.-THE small number of pigs
which will be grown this year as
sures a profit from the grain fed
to them, providing they are kept
in healthy condition. In making
money from the 1885 pig crop,
however, nothing will be more
than the feeding of suf-
ficient grain and protein supple
ments to grow the pigs we'll"

HARDING TEAM
 NEXT FOR NAUGY
Foley Boys Decided Under- dogs Saturday; Wilby
 Won l2=O

Naugatuck, Oct. 21.-With two de- feats in three games thus far chalk ed against the Naugatuck High school football team, local fans were gloomy as to the locals chances for the rest of the season. The strong Warren Harding High eleven is coming to Naugatuck next Saturday and as this team recently held New Britain, state champs of 1884 to 8 6-6 tie, the Garnet seems to have only an outside chance at the most to win.
 There was a time not so long ago when Harding was only another team to give the Naugatuck outfit stiff test, but with the advent of smaller youths in the local high school classes, those days seem to have gone for a time at least.
 POmpani0 Stars
 Although Wilby High of Water bury registered it's first victory 12-6 Saturday over a Naugatuck High team since the two elevens have been playing together, only hard luck prevented Naugatuck from at least tieing the score if not win- ming. Pomponio's 100-yard and 4O- yard runs on interceptions beat Naugatuck.
 Twice intercepted passes ended in Wilby scores. Ince in the first and again in the third quarters. But the toughest break of all for the locals was to see the game apparently tied up with less than a minute to play as George Allen took the ball over only to find that an off side penalty for Naugatuck lost the home team five yards and nulIified the touch. down play. Allen again hit the line and failed by only inches to score. This was the final play of the game. It was 8 heart-breaker for the local gridders who had outplayed Wilby most of the time.

ARMY SQUADS NEXT IMPORTANT.
 FOE FOR YALE.
Line Work and Pass At- tack to Be Popped Up During the Week

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 2i- (UP).-Yale's unbeaten eleven takes on another unconquered foe here Saturday in Army.
 The Ellis, with four of last years "iron men" in the backfield, nosed out Navy here Saturday 7-8 in a gruelling match which displayed a strong offensive team with it's weak ness principally centered in the line. There were no casualties and after weekend rest, the squad was expected to be considerably al- tered during the week to bolster the forward wall. The passing attack also was to be developed.
 Supervised scrimmages will begin Wednesday, with the earlier part of the week being devoted to black board drills and an on paper cor rection of Saturdays mechanical errors.
