How I Get Rid of Boulders.
I remember that my father, when
be was a young married man, had a
few boulders On his ferrn. They were,
an eyesore to him. This is how he got
rid of them: He covered pach boulder
with brush and weed and kept up a
Very hot fire until the stone Was rea-
hot, Then he poured on cold water.
This broke the boulder up fir small
pieces which could easily be handled
and removed.
This is a slow way. Where thore
are Many boulders it is impractical.
An effeetive and cheap way is to blast
them, but inexperienced men are rath-
er fearful of this method.
One farmer who got rid of bundeeds
of boulders on his farm declares the
best way, to bery them. i agree.
When the 'boulder is so large that it
cannot be handled I -dig a hole close
up to it, partially under it ifpossible.
When, the hole is eaeep enough I roll
the boulder in where it will never

Effect of Noises on Ducks
• and Hens.
It is a -strange fact, but none the
less true, that the report of a gun
ever so near a poultry -yard never dis-
turbs cocks and hens. You may see the
shooting -gallery of a traveling show
pitched on the village glean, and aoul-
try strolling round. Without flinching,
they will pick up any crumbs of ging-
erbread or crackerjack which may fall
from the pockets f the boys, while
the guns are banging away. On the
other hand, see the geese and ducks
hoe,ering at a ...distance. With their
:ng heads poised to windward" .and
their shrewd eyes cocked to the line
of sight, they behold the unwelcome
trespassers.•

so they vvould not know which way to
go. They are most sensitiye to im-

Cocks and hens do not suffer from

the strenuous life they lead in scratch-
ing the earth for food, leave no room
