large a number and in any way they can,
and raise what do not die. AS a result
the markets are flooded with inferior
fowls that are dearer even at the present
low prices, while really good turkeys are
in demand and will continue to be-

HOW TO CATCH RATs & wEAsELs.

1 set a small steel trap where rats and
weasels are doing the most mischief. Then
1 spread a black or dark cloth over the
trap to hide it. and place some kind of
bait on the cloth directly over the trap
The bait rests with the cloth underneath
1t on the trap. The rat is cautious fell
low and seldom gets caught in a trap
set so that he can see it, He steps on
the hidden trap while trying to secure the
bait and is caught every time. A white
weasel bothered us nearly all one winter
We had set several traps but did not
catch him. Finally we thought of the
black cloth and caught him the first pop.
He was a beauty; his head was cream
colored, body white. and the tip end of
his tail black.-New York Tribune.

Farmer, strawberry specialist explained
his new system of mana ing stra wberries
Instead of setting the plants as early in
spring as possible, in the more or less
carefully prepared patch, as is usually
done, he first trenches them in rather
closely together leaving them there until
late in May altogether perhaps six
weeks, during which time they are given
frequent sprayings with the Bordeau mix
ture, for leaf blight. if at all affected. The
job of trenching in is done in the simplest
manner, by blowing a furrow and set

twelve plants to the running foot, then
covering with the hoe
During all this time the land intended
for the strawberry patch may be pIowed

fine title and to destroy all early weeds

trench, with lump of earth adhering to
the roots, and planted the usual way. The

Religious Frenzy.
The resident physicians at the Emergency
Hospital often meet with peculiar expert
ences. but case very much out of the or
binary was brought to their attention at an
early hour this morning. The ambulance
was summoned to Petworth about 3 o'clock
after what was said to be a case of hem
orrhagc. After much difficulty and two
trips DIR. West located the patient at 4Ge1
sth street. He was Robert Parker. young
man twenty-one years of age and paper
hanger by trade. The patient was in a very
faint condition from loss Of blood and it
was necessary to administer stimulants.
Inquiry brought to light the fact that
Parker has been very much wrought up on
the subject Of religion, and for several
weeks past has been in the habit of singing
hymns continually. The matter of personal
purity seemed to he uppermost in the mini
Of the young man. and an examination by
the physician showed the loss of blood TO
but to mutilatng wounds self-inf1icted with
an ordinary razor.
At the Emergency Hospital the injuries
were dressed. and 1T is thought that Parker
will recover. Today he expressed desire
to live. He first stated that the mutila ton
occurred yesterday as the result Of a fall
from a ladder onto a pair of paperhanger' 8
shears, but 1t was realized that had such
been the situation the results would have
become apparent Immediately instead of
after the lapse of ten hours Parker is un-
married and lives with his parents at the
number mentioned.

engagement between Messrs Carson and
Gleeson, the impression prevails in we'll
