This Man Has a Muskrst Farm.

H. q. Chase OF Chittenden county says
in The New England Homestead: "A ie"
years ago damned up small brook on
my farm for the purpose OF making
trout pond. The pond and the brook LOT
some rods above became The same season
infested by muskrats, that began to work
havoc on my neighboring cornheld. Inc
idea struck me that | might turn these
diligent rodents into profit. The next
wear increased the size of the dam, so as
to make shallow pond covering about
four acres of marshy land that was oil no
use for crops.
"a double gate was arranged at the
lowest point OF the dam. The inner one
was made OF ordinary scantlings, set up
right with a,space of one inch between
each one, the whole being strengthened
by two heavy cross pieces. The outer
gate was OF ordinary type. After leaving
the poEd in this shape for season to let
it get well stocked with rats, made a
fence of four-foot hen wire, setting it one
foot into the earth and leaning it slightly
in, around the entire body OF water and
about four rods back from the bank.
This was done in the fall.
"The next spring l bad the soil turned
in several places and sowed corn. This
grew only to a small size but was large
enough to furnish food for the rats and
thus keep them from boring beyond the
enclosure. / repeated this the next
spring and the next March / considered
that there was enough stock to paw for
slaughter.
"In the latter part of the month the
outer gate was raised, allowing the water
to flow out of the pond. The inner gate
prevented any rats from escaping. II
WAS now an easy matter to catch the rats.
chute having a slab bottom was in
serted under the inner gate. This chute
led to cement lined excavation l0x1Ox3
feet deep. The stats in the bottom OF the
chute allowed the water to pass on its
course, while the rats, frightened by the
emptying Of the pond found their only
means OF escape, and landed in the exca-
walton. Once an hour for "a hours my
men went to the trap and removed the
rats for skinning. The number was far
beyond my expectations; 100 of the larg-
est and darkest rats were returned TO the
pond for breeders, besides q large number
OF kits.
sThis left for slaughter 413 full or two
thirds grown rats, " hose pelts Melted me
enough to pay for construction and labor.
Next season Il drain the ponds every
two years. 1 expect larger number. The
cost is but little after the first expense,
and the profit is huge for the money In
vested, besides utilizing otherwise useless
land. There are hundreds OF farms in
New England having Fuch advantages.

All Grades Sharing Ad-

Stock Yards, Chicago. Feb. 1S.-Sup-
ply of 5000 cattle met active packer
and shipping demand, and prices We're
firm to 10c higher than Wednesday.
The run carried few lots of strictly
good steers, best at hand making $40,
but all grades showed the price APP
probation, demand being relatively
flrmest for medium to good killers
selling at s5.85@6.40. Only a plain
light grade sold below $3.50, and feed
er buyers again competed eagerly for
the steers, which could be had at s5@
$50.
Beef steer values were generally 10
@15c higher than a week ago, and
buyers claimed some good grades
shower 25c rise. Trains were again
slow in arriving and packers bought
lightly in early rounds, but later
cleared the crop in good season.
Receipts for four days this week, at
$500, showed 1900 increase on a
week ago, but beef demand has
strengthened materially both in the

WILL HEARTFELT
RESULTS At GO
BASEBALL CLUB WRESTLING
MATCH FEB. % WILL HAVE
ADDED FEATURE.

The returns of the Battling Nelson
Ad Wolgast championship go in Frisco
February % will be announced by
rounds from the stage of the Grand
next Tuesday night as an added fea-
ture OF the big holiday wrestling bill.
Aside from witnessing the work Of
DR.. B. F, Roller, the Seattle giant, and
the powerful Turk, Chakir in catch
as-catch-can match, the fans who at
tend VIII be given word pictures Of the
battle between Nelson and Wolgast,
several thousand miles away
Pictures of the two principals of
Tuesday nights wrestling match can
be seen in the Courier window. Roller
is a lighter man than his foreign OPP
ponent, but the experience he has had
on the mat fits him well for the match
with his heavier antagonist. The go
promises to be one of intense interest
from the start, as Roller is man who
does not delay his operations, but goes
right to work Chakir, too can be de-
pended upon as anxious to win the go,
for every victory to him means that he
is brought that much closer to match
with the worlds champion Frank A.
Gotch Robert J. Shanahan re-
ceived a communication from Jack
Curley this morning stating that the
two principals had agreed upon terms
and would be here early Tuesday.

THURSDAY Horse Trade is Active.

Stock Yards, Chicago, Feb. 1S.--Lib-
eral orders from the east and good
local call for horses give good tone to

The strilleout record made by Leon
Ames in the New York State league
several years ago was shattered last
season by Thompson, a southpaw, who
played with Sandy Griffins Syracuse
team. In one game Thompson famed
fourteen Binghamton batters and five
days later he struck out twenty Elmira
batsmen. Another time he Whitfield
eleven Binghamton players in one
game. Ames had record, when a
member of the lion team of striking
out thirteen men in eight innings.
Thompson has been bought by the

Five years ago Edward Konetchy,

Herzog, Fletcher and Merkle seem
to be destined to be traded by the

has it that McGraw is dickering with
several clubs and that these men are
what he offers.
Charley Doom claims that there

if the pitchers hold out he will be the
