HuntinR Musitrats at Night.

There are three ways by which musk rats are captured-by shooting, by trap ping and by spearlng. A few may be secured at night by creeping as noise lessly as possible along the creek edges and watching for them to crawl up on the bank to feed. In this they are very dainty. Having secured q favorlto root, they approach cautiously the wa ter's edge and dip it in and rub off the mud, dip 1t in again and again until t Is perfectly clean and suited to their taste. when 1t Is eaten with evident rel lsh, provided the sportsman Is sufh., clently interested in the process to wait. A boat. however, Is usually used, as the rats can be more easily and quietly approached on the water. In this case two persons 6ccupy the same boat. the sportsman requiring push CT. As thlS sport can only be engaged In at night, the sky must be compara- lively clear in order that the hunter may have the advantage of the moon- light. or. better stip bright starlight A headlight. with reflector, is, however, sometimes used on the bow of the boat and this arrangement Is frequently quite successful during the darker nights to one sufficiently well aCquaint- ed with the hunting grounds.-Balti. more Sun.

The OId National Road.

When the panic of 1887 swept over the country the national road was barely halfway through Illinois. No work was done on 1t after 1911. Two years before, however, line of stages and post routes had been started from Cumberland, in Maryland, to Terre Haute. in Indiana, from which latter place there was a triweekly service for passengers and mail to Springfield, III. This marked the first overland travel from east to west. Passengers and mail bags were jolted along in cum bersome coaches, each with four strong horses. On account of the high rates travel was confined mainly to merchants and lawyers.

English PrIann Pitn.

Prison pits were vaults in which criminals in England were kept at night, chained together. There was one at Bristol which was in use as late at 1915. Down eighteen steps, it was only seventeen feet jn diameter by nine feet high, and seventeen men were consigned to It every night Even more typical was Warwick Jail pit, which was occupied at least until 1T97. It was an octagonal dungeon twenty one feet in diameter and almost nine teen feet underground. In the middle was a cesspool, and beside 1t ran q stream of water which served the pris. oners for drinking purposes. To this awful cell forty-two men were con signed every afternoon at 3:45, to re main there until after daylight the fol- lowing morning. The inmates had to sleep on their sides, and their jailer never visited them without guarding himself with an antidote against gick- ness.

The Monkeys Role.

A monkey Is not fortunately com mon gift, but one was brought, never theleSs, to a New York young woman by a friend returning from voyage iD the tropics. From the moment of his entrance into the house the monkey showed that he would be strenuous pet to look after. and for the next hour the family was kept busy trying to repair the damage he did. The mon. key made his way to the kitchen and in the temporary absence of the cook snatched part of chicken which lay on the table. Coming in presently, the cook missed the chicken and looked about in surprise to see what had be come of it. Suddenly she gave wild shriek of terror, and. rushing upstairs, she burst into the family sitting room, crying:
 "Oh, ma'am. the old boy himself Is downstairs, sittin' on the washtubs, pickIu' the chlcken"-New York Trib- une

There surely could hardly be q contrast more striking, says a writer in Cage Birds, than that 'twixt the modern crested canary, with Its wonderful head feather, or the giant Lancashire and the greenish yellow lit tie creatures who fluttered and sang In the orange groves of the sunny is- lands whence they take their name. The writer sees no reason why canaries may not become the size of the song thrush

GOOD SIGN
Victory for People, ih Defeat
 Of HOggatt
Seattle Post-Intelligncer)

No objection will be raised by those who are familiar with the legislative needs of Alaska 10 the abandonment Of the plan, urged upon congress by Gov. Hoggats, to have B commission named 10 revise the code of 1900. The fact is, there was never any good reason for recommending the appointment of any such commission. Instead of wasting time and money ou junketing commis- sions, Alaska should be given a terri torisl form of government; such legis- lation would for the time being at least, solve sll AlsSka's problems, sndIst the same time would be an act of simple justice to American citizens in the terri tory.
 However, it is encouraging to know that the commission project has been abandoned. As pointed out in Wash iugton sdviceS the work of commissions of the kind recommended by Gov. Hog gait is not, as 8 rule, at all satisfactory; they generally waste much time, spend much money, and do nothing but delay final and satisfactory solution of the problems they are appointed to enquire into. AlaSkanS may take fresh hope as a result of the determination to pigeon hole the commission scheme; indeed, this sudden turn in the affairs of the territory may be fairly regarded as at least partial victory in the contest for territorial government.

Sheen For CLEANING Land.

The sheep breeder or feeder know
ing that there is good money in his
kind of live stock does not have much
patience with the man who wants to
keep his flock OH briers, bushes and
weeds. He knows that sheep repay
the use of the best feed the farm af-
fords. Granting all that, there is an
immense number Of farmers who do
not want to go into the business of
producing mutton and wool and should
not do SO, but on many of their farms
there is a place for some sheep to take
the place Of farm labor for cleaning
up land, says National Stockman and
Farmer There are tidy farmers who
depend upon a flock of home bred
sheep or bunch of western yearlings
to clean ont the weeds in stubble fields
and fence rows and in old meadows.
They earn their way till feeding time
in the late fall. The scarcity of farm
help has driven people to the use Of
all labor saving devices, and among
them is q flock of sheep for fighting
weeds and other undesirable growth.

A Sweet Potato Growers Experience.

A Sweet Potato Growers Experience.
l have grown about 1900 bushels OF
sweet potatoes for several years, and
l have never had soil rot or brown rot
or whatever you may call it very badly
on the potatoes. Sometimes it is much
worse where we use stable manure,
but one of the great secrets in control
ling it is not to plant seed that is af-
fected by it. A neighbor of mine who
is a heavy grower has retained his own
seed for years. He grows the red
variety. and nearly all of them be-
came black. 1t was in his seed, and
it was transmitted from one genera
ton to another. The best way for a
man to get clear of it is to get seed
which is perfectly clean and then plant
it on soil where he has not planted
sweet potatoes for a few years.

CARE OF STRAWBERRIES.
Muching Plays an important Part In
Various WAYS


Various Ways.
Some growers defer muiching straw
berries until early spring. As to the
advantages of mulching. an authority
says that it plays an important part
during the blooming period. When Il
heavy rain falls, if it were not for the
mulching the drops of rain would beat
sand and dirt into the bloom, or flow
ers. destroying the influence of pollen.
This will make many blank blooms as
well as knotty and undeve,oped ber-
ries. 1t also keeps down the dust in Il
dry blooming. And there is the weed
problem. Mulching is the best check
on weeds ever discovered. Mulching
forms a carpet not only for the berries,
but for the pickers And then when
you go to market with your fruit your
customers welcome you with Il glad
hand and cheerfully pay the price for
a first class product Another great
advantage of mulching is that after the
fruit is picked you are able to bur-
the mulclling Off which will destroy
insects and fungous spores and will
furnish enough ashes to aid materially
in growing Il second crop of choice

larger eggs, still it is probable that
pullets Matched from such will have a
tendency to lay small eggs.
1t Is advisable to buy eggs under

Each egg should be carefully dated
when taken from the nest to guard
against error OH this point. While
