PROFIT in
SKUNK FARM
Majority Of Failures Due to Lack
OF Experience With Animals
Habits Much Time and
Energy Needed.
CBy III. X. FISHERY

From time to time skunk farms
have been established, but from some
cause, probably lack of experience,
cost of feeding the animals. or fencing
the Enclosures, the industry was soon
discontinued.
The majority OF people who start in
this business seem to think that the
animals will take care Of themselves,
and do not appreciate that, to make
success. they will have to devote
a great deal OF time and energy.
This is true in regard to the domes-
ticated animals and is doubly SO
where wild ones are concerned. There
is no reason why a man should not
succeed In the skunk business, IL he
is fond of animals and Is willing to
get we'll acquainted with their habits.

MICE INJURE
FOREST TREES
During Winter Months Little
Rodents Gnaw Bark About Base
of Trees Which Frequently
Results In Complete GirdIe.

(By CHAS f. THORNE. Ohio Agricul-
tural Experiment Station)
For some years catalpa, mulberry
and other trees commonly grown, have
suffered considerable injury by the at
tacks of field mice. During the win
ter months these rodents gnaw the
bark about the base of the
tree to a greater or less degree.
which frequently results in complete
girdle. When girdling occurs below
the root crown the trees usually die.
The amount of injury varies with the
severity of the winter. although a sea-
son rarely passes without reports OF
occurrence. During the winter OF
1909-10. characterized by deep SHOWS
and severe cold, ravages to an extent
heretofore unknown were reported
from all sections of the state.
There are no practical means OF
exterminating field mice. although GER
tain operations are helpful In pre-
venting their attacks on trees. 1t has
been observed that injury Is greater
and more general where dead grass,
mulch or debris of any kind lies close
to the trees. Material OF this nature af-
fords the harboring place. from under
which cover mice prefer to operate.
Before winter sets In all grass or
mulch material Of any kind should be
raked away from the trees for ra-
dius of at least two feet. leaving the
ground as bare as possible. Where
mulch culture Is used foot or two
about each tree should be left bare.
Injury is more severe on those trees
whose root systems set high on the
ground; that is. In cases where freez-
ing and thawing have caused heaving.
Such trees afford cavities in which
mice harbor. and complete girdles
usually results fatally II below the
point where root and stem join. Throw

Sullivan asked, hoarsely, looking for
the first time at Alison.
''On the floor, near the murdered
mans berth"
"Now, Mr.. Sullivan" said the detec-

Sullivan looked again at the dagger,
a sharp little bit of steel with a Flor

FunOS 10 FIgnt lupcTCuiOSlSs
Based on reports from all parts OF
the United States the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis has issued statement
which shows that in 1910 nearly $751;
100000 was spent in the fight against

pense in 1910 was for treatment in
sanatoria and hospitals, $11, ,376,500 be-
ing expended for that purpose, or
more than double the amount for 1909.
The anti-tuberculosis associations
spent $760,500, and the tuberculosis
dispensaries $Ss9,O00. The special mu'
nicipal and state expenditures aggre-
gated$1, 100000.
The statement declares that the
most significant fact in the survey OF
the years work Is the increase In the
percentage of public money spent
While in 1909 535 per cent. of the
total expenditure was from federal.
state, municipal or county funds, 62.6
per cent. came from public appropria-
tions in 1910. The actual amount OF
public money spent In tuberculosis
work this past year was $9.267 300, or
more than double the amount from
this same source In 1909. This fact
indicates. the national association de-
clares, that antituberculosis associa-
tions are gaining ground, by securing
increased appropriations from public
money.

Ida-Mrs. Sullivan-was firm, of
