The cause of the cold spell is
thought to have been on ac-
count of the great amount of
volcanic dust that filled the air,
intercepting the heat of the

1812-1816 were years of great
volcanic activity, this explana-
tion seems plausible. The dust

It is generally conceded that
the keeping of hens beyond two

fact supports the practice of

The Mt. Pleasant Hustler
prints an article from an ex-
change which says one of the
most popular plans suggested
in this country in some time
will be the one just pronounced
to import an immense number
of chimpanzees to do all the
work. Tt won't do. The ex-
periment was tried out several
vears ago by a large planter in
Mississippi. He imported a
hundred monkeys and placed
them in a cotton field to pick
cotton. At first the monkeys
did their work all right, and for
a while they delighted in pick-
ing the fleecy staple and stuff-
ing it down their sacks, but
when one big chimpanzee pulled
an unopened boll and threw it
at one of his fellow-monkey
workers the fun started. Be-
fore the human overseer could
eet enough help to corral the
bunch of fighting monkeys ten
acreg of cotton had been ruined.
