A hunter in the north, stalking deer,
saw a herd in a lake and while get
ting range saw a large fish jump re-
peatedly at the tail of a buck. After
bringing down the deer he fixed the
tail on a hook; it proved the best bait
he ever had used. The buck tail fly,
q brown and white tuft of hair, is a
good bait, though there is no insect
listed that it could have been copied
from.
But the buck tail and ibis fly are
attractive morsels to human eyes,
compared with the monstrosities that
the fish have been invited to bite at
in seasons past. Any self-respecting
fish getting in early from a little craw-
dad supper of the night before might
not be blamed for mistaking an ibis
or a buck tail for something he had
seen in pairs, or tours, at some other
time. But the fish that strikes at a
"coaxer," or a yellow kid" two
freak bats, probably has had domes-
tic troubles.
, The Paris of fish bait fashions is
in the east, and 1t is notable fact
that none of the frivolous things have
come from prohibition territory. The
inventor of fish lures has tempera-
ment that is not fostered in dry coun-
tries Take the "coaxer." 1t re-

SEPARATION for this And the coaxer is
some persuader, anglers will tell you.
From the impressionistic school
comes the 'roamer;" the motif OF this
is purely categorical. In your worst
nightmares you may have seen the
roamer family In various colors. The
roamer also Is cigar-shaped; 1t has
round head with protruding eyes and
a fan tail that is beauty. Six wrig-
gly red legs-guaranteed to wriggle-
add to the grotesqueness and hide the
hooks The prevailing color is a mot
tied green with white underneath.
Somehow the roamer makes strong
appeal to the fish.
And in all this catering to the
whims of the haunters of deep pools,
the designers have not forgotten the
tender phase that has part in the
fish's existence-the season Of senti-
ment. For this there is the moonlight
minnows-they even gave it a poetic
name. For night fishing this bait
has succeeded, and typities earthly
love. Ungainly and of dead white
in the day time, it glows into a grace
full shape as it is drawn along the
surface of the water at night. Several
hooks are hidden in it's righteousness
but the fish don't know it.

Avoid Disputation.

The disputatious person never makes
a good friend In friendship, men
look for peace and concord and some
measure of content. There are
enough battles to fight outside, enough
Earring and jostling in the street,
enough disputing in the market place,
enough discord in the workaday
world, without having to look for con
tention in the realm of the inner life
also. There, if anywhere, we ask for
an end of strife. Friendship is the
sanctuary of the heart, and the peace
of the sanctuary should brood over it.
It's chiefest glory is that the dust and
noise of contest are excluded-Hugh

PROPER TIME TO CUT GRASS
Haste Makes Waste When Crop Is
Hurried to Barn Not Fully Cured
Thorough Drying Needed.
(By WALTER LEUTZ.

AS to the best time for cutting
grass, 1t does not pay to be in too big
hurry. When the grass is young
and tender and seemingly succulent
in the fresh state, it is harder to cure,
dries and shrinks more, and has not
nearly the food value of the more ma
ture crop.
While the opposite extreme should
be avoided, cutting before the seed is
so ripe as to scatter, there is much
more nourishment in the matured
stalk, and one farmer who was COM
plimented for bringing his cattle
through the winter on a minimum
amount of grain and yet keeping them
in good flesh, attributes his success
largely to this fact.
Haste makes waste when the crop
Is hurried to the barn not fully cured

driving than that almost overripe

BEE MOTH INsIDloUs ENEMY
Weak and Queen!ess Hives Suffer
Most From Its Attacks-keep All

It Is not to be wondered that our
forefathers were afraid of the moths
for their bees. Until the invention Of
the movable frame hive it was next
to impossible to ascertain the extent
of the danger to the bee industry Old
the moths account.
The common belief among begin
ners is that an army of wax worms
will attack colony Of bees and kill
them. The truth of the matter is that
the mischief begins with the little in
nocent looking moth miller which fit
tiers about among the hives, and en-
tiers those which are weak In bees,
and there finds lots of vacant cells in
which to deposit her eggs.
In due time the tiny wax worms
hatch from those eggs and begin to
feed on the comb, at the same time
filling them full of webs. The trouble
is more serious in the southern states
than it Is further north.
The remedy for this Is to keep all
colonies strong in bees. Do not give
them more combs than they can &C.
