A Rabbit Catcher.

Select four pieces Of ordinary six
inch fencing board twenty to twenty
four inches long. Nail them to-
gether so as to form a box, closing
one end. The top piece should be an
inch shorter than the others. Nail
the bottom and top boards to the side
boards, thus making the opening six
inches perpendicularly and four inches
horizontally. A sliding door is then
made to fit neatly into the open end
and two pieces Of lath nailed against
the ends of the perpendicular boards,
projecting one-half inch inside. The
door then slides down between the
shorter upper board and the project

door q piece of lath Is nailed on each

. Glasgow, Scotland, Is occasionally
referred to in American newspapers az
q city that has demonstrated the sue,
cess of municipal ownership of public
utilities and the possibility Of govern;
ment without taxation. Glasgow has
municipal ownership Of its lighting
plants, street railways and some other
public service enterprises. 1t is man
aging them successfully. Both thu
lighting plant and the street railway
system give service at low rates and
also turn into the public treasury con
siderable sums as profit. The amounts
so turned in are by no means suficien,

Paragraphs About the Crusade.


It's good thing to have the "dust. !"
Don't keep it on the road.
The Grand Rapids (Mich.) Herald
very pertinently observes that the
Board of Trade of that city could con-
sistently take a hand in the good roads
movement.
The Mercantile Club, of Wyandotte
County, Kansas, recently passed reso-
lutions favoring good road laws, and
will work for the same at this session
Of the Legislature.
It is said Porto Rico has only one
good road. That is very good indeed
all the others are horrid. Good
roads throughout the island will dc
more, perhaps, to favorably impress
the natives than any other one thing.
An argument offered for the EN-
ployment of prisoners in building
roads is that the fear of such public
degradation will deter from the com
mission of petty crimes, and will lessen
the incursion of tramps into a com
munity.

Mud and NIatrinony.

A paper published at Towson, Ball
timore County, Maryland, recently
published the following from one of
its country correspondents:
ga reception was given by Mr.. and
Mrs. William Shepperd a few nights
ago at their residence on My Lady's
Manor Unfortunately Mr.. Shepperd
was not present. He was detained on
the road in moving a heavy load Of
furniture from Baltimore to his home.
His team became stalled on account of
the bad condition of the road, and he
did not arrive home until after mid
night. These are some Of the per-
plexities newly married people have
to endure sometimes"
From a League member we learn
that "the parties had been married
only few days before, and this was
the reception given at the groom's
home after their return from their
bridal tour. Think of the groom hav
ing to miss his own reception by rea
son of bad roads, and imagine the feel
lngs of the bride!'

These traps are placed in orchards
during cold weather. The rabbit in
running about the orchard finds the
trap and seeing that it is hole which
! will afford him protection, backs into
it, pushes against the trigger, causing
the notch to slip off the catch and drop

trap must be made of old weather
beaten boards, for the strong odor Of
new pine will keep rabbits away. The

The Currycomb For Cow.

Somehow the cow never gets half
the care in the stable that the horse
does, especially as to currying and
brushing Even in the field where
the COW lies down in green pastures
she often has scurf on her skin which
causes her to rub against trees and
posts. We knew q farmer once who
fastened a pole between two posts
just high enough so that cows of diff
ferent sizes could go under it and
rub their backs against it. The in
stitution was always we'll patronized
and doubtless paid the cows owner.
In the stable the currycomb handled
with plenty of elbow grease is the best
substitute for this device. The most
currying and brushing will be needed
around the neck and shoulders.
