MANY ORCHARDS, YOUNG SHADE TREES
AND WINDBREAKS RUINED BY RABBITS
Too Much Attention Cannot Be Given to Task of Removing All
Brush Piles and Thickets Which May Serve as Breeding
and Hiding Places—Traps Are Effective.
In the first place, It 1b very im-
portant that all brush piles and
thickets near the orchards, which may
serve as breeding and hiding places
for the rdbbits, be removed.
Traps of various sorts are effective.
A simple and successful method is to
Blnk a barrel in the ground level with
.ts surface. Fit the head slightly
Bmaller than the top and allow it to
Bwing freely on a rod or old broom-
stick. Pieces of apple or grains of
corn may be placed on the outer edge
of the cover and when the rabbit
attempts to get these, the lid tips up
and he slides into the barrel, while
the lid, which is slightly heavier on
one side than the other, assumes its
original position. The heavier side
should strike against a heavy nail or
bolt so that only the lighter side of
the lid will drop. The whole thing
Bhould be covered over with brush
or light flat stones, so as to make an
enticing place for the rabbits.
A novel and Ingenious trap for
catching rabbits has been designed
by Mr. Walter Wellhouse; and used

with remarkable success. The trap
consists of a box made of fence boards
(old ones preferred) six Inches wide
and one inch thick. The boards are
cut twenty-two inches long and the
top and bottom boards are nailed
onto the side boards, thus making the
opening four inches wide and six
inches high. The door is made of
wire and hung with two staples to the
uhder side of the top board. To pre-
vent the rabbit from pushing the door
open, a strip three-fourths of an inch
square Is inserted in the opening and
nailed to the bottom board The door
must be long enough to reach well

below this catch. The trigger is made
of wire, bent and hung loosely with
two staples to the center of the top
board. These staples must be care-
fully placed, to allow the trigger to
be pulled forward far enough so that
the door will rest upon it when the
trap is set. and also to allow the
loop in the trigger to be pushed
against the back of the trap by the
rabbit when it is sprung, thus pre-
venting its being bent.
To operate the trap, push the door
inward, and with the forefinger jcatch
the hooked end of the trigger and
pull it forward until the door rests
upon the wire above the hook. The
rabbit enters the trap, prompted by
curiosity or otherswlse. Just as he
enters a hollow log, and thinks no
more of the wire trigger than he
would of a small piece of brush which
he must push out of his way. As
soon as he touches the trigger the
door drops and the rabbit is caught.
No bait Is used and the trap cannot
easily be sprung by birds or wind
Care must be taken to see that all
staples are loosely set so that the
trigger slides easily and the door will
drop of Its own weight. If new boards
are used. It would be well to stain
with some dark coloring material
which is not offensive to the rabbit’s
delicate sense of smell.
SILO BECOMES A
NATIONAL FACTOR
By Use of Huge Receptacle
Large Part of Principal Crops
Can Be Saved.
(By A. L. HAKCKER.)
The leading agricultural subject of
the day is the silo, and its coming'is
of national Importance. No subject 1b
receiving so much attention from the
experiment stations, farm papers, and
farmers' Institutes. All the great in-
dustries depending on live stock, such
as the stock yards, creameries, pack-
ing houses and transportation compa-
nies are advocating its use. It is a
conservation subject of great impor-
tance, for with it can be saved a large
part of our principal crop. Nearly
forty per cent of the food elements
of the corn crop of this country are
now wasted. By the use of the silo
this could be saved and by so doing,
hundreds of millions of dollars could
be added to our national wealth. The
corn forage which annually goes to
waste in this country is often referred
to as the "Billion Dollar Waste." Is it
any wonder we are complaining of the
high cost of living?
In the past eleven years the great
stock industry of the United States in
comparison with our population, has
been showing a decline. This condi-
tion has been largely brought about
by the rise of price in all kinds of
stock foods, thereby making a small-
er profit to the producer. This in turn
has driven many men out of the stock
business and discouraged others from
going in. With the silo the cost of
producing stock and stock products
can be greatly lowered. Experiments
have shown that by the use of the silo
in place of the old feeding methods,
butter can be produced from 9 to 10c
per pound cheaper, and a saving made
on the production of beef from >1.50
to >2.00 per hundred pounds. As the
largest part of our food comes from
live stock it is plain to see the rela-
tk>n of the silo ot our national food
supply.
Silage can be made from nearly all
kinds of farm forage and Is a good
and cheap ration for horses, cattle,
sheep, swine and chickens. It re-
quires little storage space, is a labor-
saving device, doubles the value of the
corn crop, triples the stock carrying
capacity of the land, restores the far
tillty of the soil, and returns its user
annually one hOhdred per cent on the
investment.

first thing is to remove the dead

One Must Understand Nature
and Habits of Tree to Handle
It in Right Way.
If we were to begin anew In tb«
work of establishing an orchard fot
the home with the information we
have gained by observation and expe
rience in the past, we would follow
the course here laid down, says a
writer in the Farm Life.
One thing we have found true it
that one must understand the nature
and habits of the tree or plant in ordei
to handle It In a right way. The
planting, pruning, cultivating, spray-
ing and fertilizing, each and all. will
become easier as we understand the
needs of the tree. The same treat-
ment of the peach and plum, In the
matter of pruning will not answer toi
the pruning of the pear or apple.
The nature of the peach Is to have
continuous culture if one wants good
fruit and healthy trees, while the pear
will not stand continued culture be-
cause of diseases arising from imma
ture wood, especially blight, which at
tacks first this growth The same
knowledge of the small fruits is re
quired to succeed with them.
Just as In other callings one must
understand the business, so it is In
this. It is from this long experience
that we give these methods
Ideation Ib an important matter
Nearness to the home should be con-
sidered on account of convenience
and to guard against marauders raid
ing your fruits location should af
ford protection from cold winds in
the winter or extremes of drought in
the summer. If these cannot be
found naturally then they must be
given artificially. Fbr these purposes
the evergreens are the best to use
and they should be set out with the
planting of the orchard
If the location Is such that the
morning Bun strikes the trees on cold
frosty mornings, sunscald will reBull
unless some protection Is given It
i- advisable In this case to head the
tree low so that the body of the tree
will be shielded.
Any soils, If not wet, will answei
for the fruits in general, but eact
variety has a preference. The male
thing is to have It dry and the higher
grounds are to be preferred. a»
frosts are not so destructive. Avoid
locations as are subject to heavy
drafts of cold air, as such soils are
cold and not fitted for fruits.
WHY THE MEAL WAS HALTED
Nothing Seriously Wrong, but Old Gen-
tleman Had Some Trouble With
the Elusive Onion.
An aged country couple, on the ur-
gent invitation of a grandson who
lived In the city, were on for a visit.
The grandson’s wife was very anxious
that the first meal should be one
which the aged couple would enjoy
after their long ride in the train, and
accordingly the table groaned under
its burden of good things to eat.
In the course of the repast she no-
ticed several times that the old man
seemed to be making little progress
jvlth the meal.
“What is the matter, grandfather?"
Bhe asked, "don’t you like my dinner?’
"No, no, granddaughter," mumbled
the old man, “it isn’t that. Only I’ve
a pickled onion in my mouth, and 1
hain’t got but one tooth left, so it’s
harder’n Sam Hill to catch it, it’s so
lively. Just rest easy a spell till I git
a holt on it and I’ll be all right!”
SCURF ON BABY’S HEAD
Campbell, Va.—“I used Cuticura
Soap and Ointment for acurf on my
baby’s head and they made a complete
cure. It came on her head soon after
birth. It. broke out in pimples and
itched and she would scratch it and
cause sores to form. Her head was
very sore and her hair fell out in
bunches. She was very crosB and fret-
ful and could not sleep at night. I
tried many remedies, all failed, then I
tried Cuticura Soap and Ointment and
they commenced to heal at once. I
put the Cuticura Ointment on, and a
half hour after washed her head with
the Cuticura Soap. I used them a
month and she was cured entirely.”

Mi» Duff Writes Interesting State-
ment For Publication in the
Behalf of Women.
Webster Springs, W. Va.—In an in-
teresting letter from this place, Miss
Agnes Duff says: “I had been afflicted
with womanly trouble for three years,
and felt weak all the time.
My back and sjdes ached so, I al-
most got paBt going.
I had used a great many different
kinds of remedies, but they failed to
do me any good.
I had heard of Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, and decided to try it. When I
had used the third bottle of Cardui, I
felt like a new person entirely. I
gained both In health and weight.
I praiBe Cardui for my recovery and
good health, and I feel sure it will do
the same for others, as it has me, if
I they will only give it a trial.”
The above letter Is an earnest, frank
i statement of Miss Duff's opinion of
| Cardui. She has confidence in it, be-
i cause It relieved her, after many dlf-
| ferent kinds of other remedies had
failed, and she believes It will help
f you, Just as It did her, if you will give
it a fair trial.
We Join Miss Duff In urging you to
give Cardui a trial. It cannot ham
you, and, Judging from the experience
of thousands of others, is almost sure
to do you good.

When the Peanuts Ran Out.
For two hours an old back country-
man, who bad never before seen an
elephant, had been standing before a
row of them in enrapt silence deal-
ing out peanuts one at a time. When
the last was gone and no more forth-
coming, Jumbo, the largest elephant,
reached over and removed the enter-
tainer's hat from his head to the top
of a lion'B cage nearby.
For the first time in two hours the
old man expressed his emotions in
words: "You old two-tailed indlan-
rubber nuisance you!” he exclaimed,
indignantly. "If I knew which end
your head was on, I’d slap yuor face.”
What a Funny Teacher.
An east side lad of Bix summers has
a child's faculty for seeing things,
often In the way they are not. He
came home from school the other day
and found his father reading the daily
paper.
"Pop,” he said, “my teacher don’t
know nothin’!”
“Why, son, what's the matter now?”
asked the father.
“Well," replied the youngster, "she
held a big red applq up in front of us
this morning and said: 'Children, what
Is this I have in my hand?”'—Indian-
apolis News.
Hit the Danger Spot,
A tippler with a very red nose got
a day's work as a laborer in a boiler
works. The same day he appeared
before the surgeon at the hospital
with his nose smashed.
“Good gracious!" exclaimed the sur-
geon. “How did you man-ge to get
your nose smashed like that?”
"Oh, cried the sufferer, "I put my
nose through a hole in the boiler for
a sniff of fresh air, and the man out-1
side with the hammer mistook it for
a red-hot rivet. And he only hit once
—that's all.”
Think Before You Speak.
If thou thlnkest twice before thou
speakest once thou wilt speak twice
the better for It. Better say nothing
than net to the purpose. And. to
speak pertinently, consider both what
Is fit and when It Is fit to speak. In
all debates let truth be thy aim, not
victory, or an unjust Interest; and en
deavor to gain rather than to expose
thy antagonist.—William Penn.
Appropriate Connections.

"Yes, but she got the hook.”

Four druggist get half ounce
of Globe Pine Compound (Concentrated
line) and two ounces ot Glycerine.
Take these two Ingredients home and
put them Into a half pint of ’good whis-
key; shake well and use In doses of one
to two teaspoonfuls after each meal
and at bedtime." Smaller doses to chil-
dren according to age. But be sure to
get only the genuine Globe Pine Com-
pound (Concentrated Pine). Each half
ounce bottle comes In a sealed tin screw-
top ease. If your druggist does not have
It he will quickly get It. Many mlx-
tnres are of large quantity and cheaper,
but It Is risky to experiment. This

Infantile Paralysis.
The horrors of infantile paralysis
will not be alleviated by the note of
Dr. Simon Flexner and two associates,
appearing In the Journal of the Amer-
ican Medical association, that the
healthy parents of pattentB may be
carriers of the disease. Dr. Flexner
reports that washings from the naso-
pharynx of the parents of a child suf-
fering from an acute attack were Inoc-
ulated on October 28 last in a monkey,
the Macacus cynomolgus:
“Recovery from the anesthetic was
prompt and the animal remained well
until November 11, when It was noted
to be excitable and to drag the right
leg. The left leg proved to be weak
November 12 the right leg was defi-
nitely flaccid.”
Two days later portions of the spl
nal cord and medulla "showed typical
lesions of experimental poliomyelitis."
