Cut-worms, white grubs, and wire worms are often unearthed in preparing the spring garden, and they may be disposed of, he suggests, in any convenient way, as by having chickens in the garden during the preparation of the soil to devour the insects, or by gathering the insects into a receptacle and throwing them to the chickens later, or by killing each destructive worm, by hand, or under foot, when it is seen. "Such painstaking methods cannot be followed in large fields," Mr. Sherman explains, "but u distinctive thing about a true garden J is the high culture and intensive careful n\ethods that are used in it, so as to insure a high yield of I specialized crops. We have known good gardeners who made a practice ! of having a worm-can at hand whenever they were spading in the garden, ?and they weren't always fishermen, either,?the worms were used as chicken feed. Of course if the gardener can find a good opportunity to use them as fish bait, why, that is j j his affair.'* When Christopher C. Hampton, 69, was told on Monday how he had shot his wife to death the day before, he declared that he knew nothing about, the killing. "I would not have done it for the world if I had known," he said.

It was hullt at a period when men knew only how to heap one j stone upon another. The Inclination , of the pile at un ??iigh? of 4.1 degrees and the weight of the blocks of andeslte and basalt huve preserved the monument amazingly. When the digging began the mound lay burled beneath fifteen to' seven t-en feet of sand, clay and rock, under vhlch again was a deep luyer of luva. covering the platform at the summit to a depth of eighteen feet.

Through an accident an ancient graveyurd dating from the time of the migration of the races was discovered. The Oldenburg museum began to excavate. Ancient gold vessels were found. When the farmers of the community heard of this they rushed to the scene and began to dig for gold, instead of for last year's cabbage.
