HOW TO CATCH MICE.
Here Is n Trap Which Has Stood the
Test of Forty Years on an
Ohio Farm.

OF course we have cat and a dog
but they cannot always get at the mic
whenever and wherever they wish. ThS
corncrib, the smokehouse and the eel
lar are places where we cannot leave s
cat or a dog for any length of time
Therefore we must use traps.
There are several kinds of trap!

of which we have used only one kind

Good One Necessary.

One of the English weekly papers tells
a good "caddie" story. A distinguished
amateur came to the links with the air of
one who has only to come and see in order
to conquer.

They are, to certain extent, fairly eff
ficient, but last only short time, as
the wire springs rust easily. The best
Ching we have in the way Of traps is a
homemade contrivance which has been
in use for about 40 years, and which
has caught its thousands of mice. Aft
er so many years of use, the trap is
somewhat the worse for wear and has
been repaired many times and also
shows the marks of many mice's teeth.
Fig. l is a front view of the COM
pleted trap. Fig. 2 shows side-view of
the trap doors and triggers. Fig.

gers and levers are made of ordinary
bale wire. If hard wood is used for
top, sides and doors the mice will not
gnaw very much when inside of it, but

Economy in Threshing.

The fact that there is more grain put into
the straw stack than there should be, Is
something that merits the earnest attention
of the up. to-date farmer.
Is it not possible to save the wastage OF
grain and time which attends the use of old
style machineryl This is something that
should command the careful consideration
of every farmer.
In line with the thought we call attention
to the ad. of Nichols a. Shepard Company
Battle Creek, Michigan, found in another
column.
1t would seem that the time has come
when this great channel of wastage on the
farm should be eliminated.

Books had been kept and while the

The city treasurer should be paid an
adequate salary and be required to

LARGELY POLITICAL TRIALS.

The land fraud trials at Portland
are largely political in aspect. Moth
ing new has been developed.
While some may be convicted, and
should be convicted, the uses to which
the trials are likely to be put are base.
Enough slime has been generated to
besmirch .aspirants for the senate and
congress with our generations. A
Democratic paper says:
"The land fraud trials at Portland
this week have developed a gigantic
system of robbery, and some of the
Testimony places Binger Hermann in
a most unenviable light"
Yes, in the Portland newspaper head
lines, but not elsewhere, and a man
who is blackened that way is as likely
to be popular as not.

cused the editor of being chicken
thief in the headlines, would that de-
stroy him in his standing and reputa-
tion with his subscribersG
No. They would bring him twice as
many chickens next year about holi-
day time.

THE BEAUTIES OF LOCAL OPTION

I
Many good, honest temperance peo-
pie supported local option on the new
tangled lines adopted in Oregon.
This paper kept telling them it was
worse law than the one it displaced.
Only experience can convince them,
however. Here is an item from the
jefferson Review, paper not un-
friendly to local option:
"The proprietors Of the three sa-
looms in South Lebanon, which went
dry, announce that they will close up
January l instead of moving over the
line into North Lebanon, which, al
though it is the residence portion of
the city, went wet"
The same would have happened if
one of the Salem suburban precincts
had gone wet and one of the inside sa-
loon precincts had gone dry.
We only say this to show local OPP
tionists that person may have hon
estly opposed the new law as liable
to accomplish just the opposite from
what was claimed for it by its ad-
heronts.
