A man at Bailey says: What can
do with my fruit trees? The rabbits
are eating them up My advice in.
cases of this kind is as follows: Don't
do anything to the fruit trees, but do
something to the rabbits. This is just
as easy as rolling out of bed. TO be-.
gin with, take the rabbits out of your
orchard and put them in cracker boxes,
four to box, Then get your grind
stone and file down the front teeth Of
each rabbit so there will be hardly
any teeth left. When this Is finished
take cotton string and tie up each
rabbits lips before you turn him loose
SO that the filed of teeth will show.
The theory is that all the other rabbits
when they see what you did to these
other rabbits, and they will al
ways think twice before tackling any
trees. Try it, anyhow.
A man at Abel wants to know how
to make his hogs stop eating his wife's
hens. This too easy to talk about
and ! will tell him how to do it. Go
out to the hen house about 900 q. m.,I
some Of these fine days and yank six
or eight fine ROSTERS of the poles.
When you have the ROSTERS safely
under your coat tail walk over to the
hog pen and pitch them over the fence.
When your hogs get up In the morn
ing the first thing they will do is to
dive into breakfast Of ROSTERS, and
they will taste mighty good on an en-
lpty stomach. In fact they will taste
SO good to them thereafter they will
always eat the roosters out of the flock
and let the hens go. And ROSTERS are
only three cents q pound. you know.
II you don't want your hogs to eat
hens trade your hens for roosters.
A lady living somewhere between
Yale and Herndon has some mice In
the parlor and would like to know how
she can get rid Of them. The way l
know is to clear up the room and take
up the carpet and tack It up
on the ceiling for q week or
two. When this is finished paste
the floor with the same pattern OF
wall paper that you have on the
lcelling. The idea is that when the
5lmiee come out of their holes and
see the wall paper they imagine
y they are walking on the ceiling, and
getting afraid of falling to the sfiool
and breaking their necks, they quick
lily hike back to their holes. If 70,
leave the room in this shape for {
!, week or two the mice will go in ant
} out Of their holes so often that the!
will lose their hair and freeze to death
A simple remedy and you won't masl
any more fingers in mouse traps.
