Sunnxside Man Hasworms

There are throughout the world many
mines whose deposits of the royal and
bsser metals yield wealth to enable their
owners to loll around in the lap of lux
ury. But of all of the bonanzas in b au-
tiul Colorado, Chief of Police J. J. o.
Rourke probably has one that affords
more pleasure than all of the treasure
vaults of the Centennial state combined.
While spading up his garden recently
the chief uncovered a deposit of fish bait
the like of which has never been seen in
this section. The shoot is about three
feet in diameter, and is contained be-
tween walls of green soft schist country
rock. The anglers are of a beautiful
pink color and are absolutely tame and
harmless. One of the important feat
ures of the find is the apparent contlnui
ty of the deposit, as after digging to a
depth of four feet the indications are
that it is not mere surface pocket, but
extends downward to an unknown depth
The little wrigglers are all fat and sleek
and may be taken out in punches around
which may be placed a rubber band and
they are ready for use.
One of the most arduous duties in
making preparation for fishing trip is
to dig for bait, but no person need dread
this Iaborious duty, as by calling upon
the chief his wants will be supplied
Marshal O'Rourke declines to accept any
remuneration for the bait although it
was suggested to him that the worms
might readily bring fifteen cents pound
a couple of years ago some hop vines
were planted over the angle worm de-
posit but they did not thrive. Naturally
one would think that grasshoppers
would have resulted, but the angle boys
are just as good for bait as the hopper.
Angle worms make an excellent chicken
feed, and an incubator chick fed by the
marahal on diet of angleworms was a
spring chicken in three weeks. 1t is
said that angle worm grease is good for
corns and freckles, but nothing has ever
compared with the anglewiggler as fish
bait.

many improvements. A temporary

essential. The entire field should be

Oats can be made to provide an abun-

while the heads are in a milky stage.
The straw is then In palatable condi-
ton, containing portions of the nutrl-
ton which have been arrested on their
way to fill out the heads. When cut In
this green condition the straw and heads
are cured like hay, can be bundled and
then stacked on the ground for winter
use. The proper way to feed oats
cured In that manner is to pass them
through fodder cutter. and they will
be eaten readily by horses, cattle and

Surface Preparation.

The new settler in an irrigated dis
trict seldom appreciates the Importance
of preparing the surface of fields so
that they may be cheaply, easily and
properly watered. Crops in an arid
climate are, as a rule, good or bad, ac-
cording as they have received the prop
er amount of water at the right time,
and when the ground is left so rough
and uneven that water cannot be even
ly applied the effect is shown in the
reduced yield. The preparation of the
land is a first cost, and If done thor
oughly during the first or second year
little expense need be incurred after
wards. Foster.
