There are more ways of catching
BIRDS than by putting salt on their

same time most successful is the use
Of lime smeared paper bag used for

conical shaped bag is fastened to a

are dropped in for bait. Attracted by

DOES AWAY WITH POST HOLES.
Continuance of California Man Screws
Into the Ground.

Into the Ground.
The old-time fence post has served
its purpose for SO long that it is about
time it was improved. t has always
seemed natural that Ia erecting
fence post hole should first be dug
in the ground and the end of the post
inserted in the hole, the remaining
space being filled up again. A Cali
fornia man thinks this method antique
and cumbersome and has invented an
exceedingly simple plan which entire
~ eliminates this procedure. BY the
use of his method the initial digging of
the hole is entirely unnecessary. The
bottom of this post is spiral in shape,
similar to an auger, being pointed at
the end, and after being partly insert
ed in the ground is turned round and
round until sunk sufficiently deep. To
more easily accomplish this a dummy
post with a double-headed lever, which
first bores the hole in ground, can be

for waters suspected of contamination

Sometimes quick lime is put into

temporary benefit.
