HERE IS A LIST OF SOME OF OUR SPECIAL BARGAINS As much tartar emetic as will lay on the point of a knife, stirred Into an egg through a small opening in one end will have a most salutory effect on an egg sucking dog.

There Is now and then a dog, we believe, which nothing but a charge of shot will break of sucking eggs, and in that case the sooner the treatment is applied the better. But the average puppy will suck eggs, and nine out of ten can be cured of the habit by this treatment. Several Methods of Trappl Mink. 1 Too many hens to receive-the proper of attention and to eat up the 'profit of the eggs they produce in is the, mistake of rnore.th.an one poultry raiser, especially where poul Dear Editor: 1 would like to get one of the Jack Knives. So I will try to tell you how to catch a mink.

A I New House Trap No. 1 is a good trap for catching mink. Place a trap in shallow water about two inches deep and where the bank rises straight up i try is more or less of a side line. Hens, i from the water's edge. The best to A few loads of the fine chaff around the straw pile can be profitably hauled In and piled near the hen house for use-during the winter.

It will contain some grain and a forkful or two of it scattered on thefloor of the poultry house each wintry day will make excellent scratching litter and keep the hens which means a big help toward winter eggs. Mike should' be- Kept on pronation and watched, and the ones which are npt producing well in. eggs should be disposed of to the butcher trade.

One successful poultry raiser encourages early moulting in her flock by feeding a quart of seed to a dozen hens at least three times a week. Her other feed consists of kafir, oats, millet seed, cracked corn and green rape. SJie reports that her -moulting season thus be advanced from five to six weeks over that of the flocks which are given no special care. placed about 16 or 18 inches above the trap. It may -be fastened, to a stick projecting from the bank about this height.

When he jumps or stands on his hind, legs' to get the bait, he will tread on the pan of 4 the trap and be caught. On dry. land the bait may be placed on a stick about 18 inches above the ground, at the entrance of the mink hole. IMg a hole about the size of the trap; at the entrance of the hole, place' the trap in this and cover it with feathers or ashes. The trap should be placed just under the bait, so When he tries to get the bait he will tread on the trap and.

be caught. To make a surer catch, you may pile stones up around the bait on each side except Alleged conservative estimates value the fertilizing properties of the manure from one horse at $33.72 per year; from a cow $31.20 and from a pig $64.48. This is based on nitrogen at 16 cents per pound, phosphoric acid and potash at four cents each. It Is assumed that plenty of bedding to save the manure is used and that the liquid is practically all saved. We wonder how large a percentage of such profit is realized per animal on any of the stock farms of the Southwest.

You may also make a trail along the bank by dragging a piece of fresh meat along then digging a small hole in the trail and concealing the trap in the hole.

TJien when the mink is following this trail he will probably tread on the trap and be caught. EDMUND WIL.KERSON, R. 4, Lucas, Kan. to tidy up around the farm, as therjT are days when there is no such rush a farm work as at any other time of the year. Bring in the old fence posts to the wood pile, tack some strips over the holes In the barns or chicken coops, see that there are no leaks in any of the roofs, get the manure out of the sheds and lots, tighten up the nails In the gates and fences, get the.

Alfalfa around "Wichita has stood the freezing weather of the past few weeks wonderfully. In fact, even the lowest fields 6how no sign of being nipped by the cold weather. As lieavy a growth as the one this fall at this time of year is rather a novelty in Kansas, and the handling of Jt will be largely in 'the nature of an experiment. We would like to hear from some of those who are working out the methods of handling as to how they! have proceeded and what the results have been.

Milk is much better than, water to The Way to 3Iake a Good Mink Set. Dear-Editor: May I enter your contest for one of the Jack Knives? I will write you my methods of trapping the mink. In making a set for any water animal arrange the trap so your catch can reach deep water and. will be drowned at once, thus preventing all possibility of escape by gnawing or twisting out of the trap, and saving much needless suffering on the part of the animal caught. As soon as it feels the grip of the trap any water animal will plunge for deep water and will be drowned by the weight of the trap or many times a drowner may be used to a good advantage.

I believe I may say without fear of contradiction that the mink is the hardest to catch and the most sly of -all amphibious fur-bearing animals. Do i mm mm wsmzrn mj tmmmmtmmmnmmmamm mm mumil mil.

Never take a dog over jthe trap line as reent, will frighten the animals away. In setting traps, always wear cotton 'mittens which have been soaked In melted bee's wax as this will destroy the human scent the bare hands would leave on the trap. Leave no loose dirt aTOund where a trap is set. To the experienced, trapper, no advice can be given, as he knows best the peculiarities of his own locality and experience is always the best teacher.
