Plans to Trap Wolf and Bear.
stephenson Journal.)

The increase in the number of bears
and wolves in the Upper Peninsula OF
Michigan, and that Of the wolf bounty
provided for by the Legislature has
stimulated some Of the old hunters Of
the Lower Peninsula, who hunted
bear and wolf" south Of the straits, to
cross the channel and bait for them
there. An old method Of trapping will
be employed.
The plan is to build two trap pens,
one for bears, the other for wolves
In the first q pig will be used for bait
and the bear watched for and dosed
with lead before he can reach the pork,
1t being claimed that clear-nosed
bear, free from catarrh, can smell a
pig four miles and will leave any
other scent and go after the pig, which
is a great dainty for the bears palate
In the wolf trap sheep will play the
part OF tempter. The pen il built
smallest at the top, high enough to re-
strain the sheep and low enough to ad-
NIT the wolf. There is an opening at
the apex, large enough for the wolf to
jump through when he comes to get
acquainted with the sheep and take q
midnight lunch with him. When the
wolf Is in, he surveys the dining-room
and tries to make sure that he can get
out where he came In before beginning
the banquet. AS soon as he finds that
he cannot, he loses his appetite and
the hunter finds him In the morning.

Water gardening is easy and FEAST

sive. 1t is within everybody's. reach.
Sunlight, fresh air, a reservoir for wa
ter, some rich loan, a few roots -such
are the simple requirements: Conven-
lent dimensions for tanks of moderate
size are from by 8, 6 by IL to by
16. All should be in proportion to the
size Of the. grounds and shaped to lndl-
vidual taste.
The best material for constructing
permanent tanks is cement laid on the
soil. A total depth of two feet is suf-
ficient, with the sides sloping at an
angie OF 40 degrees or f mede with bo so;

HOW TO RAISE FINE TOMATOES.

The proper culture OF the tomato re-
quires something more than transplant.
ing in the garden. This fruit is only at
its best when the plant has been skill
fully handled. It requires plenty of sun
light, warm nights and not too much
moisture. IF the vines are permitted to
grow at will and lie on the ground they
Keep the soil damp, take second growth
and produce little fruit. For best re-
suits the tomato should be" tied UP to
stakes or trellis, and surplus growth
pinched away with as much care as is
given the grape. This cannot be done
on large scale, and doubtless the best
support that can. be provided for the
tomato is a barrel hoop tackled to three
stakes at suitable height from the
ground and put over the plant before il
begins to spread: AS soon as the fruit
has set in sufficient quantity, prunt
away surplus growth. This will give larg,
and fine fruit, ripening early. If blacl
spots appear in the largest and earhes
