Hind on Catching HAWKS.

A New Jersey poultry keeper gives
the Practical Farmer his experience
In catching hawks as follows:
Set pole three or four inches
through at top and twelve feet long
on a hilf overlooking the poultry
yards. Set small steel trap ON top
OF pole and the hawk is almost GER
tain to get caught when he alights
on the pole. Hawks prefer to allght
on the pole. I have caught 100 in
three years, since I began. The trap,
of course. should be fastened; other
wise, a large hawk would take It
away. This beats watching about
half a day TO get shot at them.

We thank Thee. o God, for the
opportunities of our life. Some
times the means and the occasions

so small. and so insignificant. Some
times Thou revealed to us that we
have great opportunities. May we
be conscious, o God. of the greatness
OF our present opportunity. Gathered

would realize that Thy spirit should
be ours now, during this week,
through all our lives. Join us, o
God, together in the sense of a deep
unity, in the sense that our great
object is one, that, however diverse
our circumstances, we may be one

feated Jones and Budlong
Westfalrs work in the finals was disap-
pointing, for many figured that he would
give Jones hard battle. But the New

more dashine sort OF play than the eau

time and again in attempting To slash
the ball into his opponents court he
would drive II over the limit for an out

game on four such misplays. Westfall

Taylor has said when speaking OF the
distance that IL was one OF the toughest
races In the program OF track events, and
that the mark was not easy as II looks
!Iillmann has covered the distance In
liz rs. while Sheppard has come within
three-fifths of a second OF equalling the
Boston runners mark.
Both the half-mile and 1000-yard marks
are also trembling because of Melvin w.
Sheppard's great speed. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Irish American A. G. run
ner last year came within one>fifth OF "A
second of the worlds record OF I'm,

result OF that great exhibition and with
the possibility OF reaching the same
standard of speed as last year, Sheppard

In beating the 10Oo-yard mark.
1t Is doubtful IL ever before in this
country there have been as good a coll
lection OF mile runners as exist at the

bile of beating Am. 25s. They are Has

neffs record OF I'm. 10 3-5s.. although II
would not be surprising of they got down

beating the ive-mile mark. or annexing
