SAYS WOLVES ARE SCARCE.
Trappers Complain That They Have
Trouble Making Living.

Trappcrs from the Silver mountains
and along the upper Sturgeon who
have visited HoughtOn recently com
plain that wolves are getting scarce In
that vicinity and that they are afraid
that they will have to leave the dis
trict and find new territory to trap and
hunt
one trapper from this district who
reports that he has killed over a hun
dred wolves the past year declares that
he will be forced to change his base
of operations and he is seriously think
ing of going 10 Ontonagon county and
hunting through the Porcupine noun
tains the coming winter
This hunter who has been trapping
and hunting through Houghton, Goge-
bic, Baraga and Iron counties for sew
eral years declares that Houghton
county is practically free Of the var
mints" now and that 1t viii hardly be
worth his time to put in another win
ter here. He has been making his
headquarters at Sidnaw but recently
passed through Houghton on his way
To the Porcupine mountains TO look
over the ground and if he thinks the
outlook for a big season is better i'm
this district than in his old hunting
territory he will probably spend the
coming winter there.

PROVIDING GRIT IN WINTER
Hens Should Be Allowed to Take az
Much as They Requlre-Don't
Feed Il In Their Mash.
CBy w. F. PARRIsH.y

When winter comes and the ground
freezes, or is covered with snow a good
deal of the time, grit must be sup
piled. Gravel or grit should be sharp,
so as to both cut and grind. Smooth
pieces of gravel will not answer the
purpose. Gravel dug from a pit will
make one OF the best grits.
When pounded into small pieces,
broken crockery will make excellent
grit, also. A little sand mixed with
the other grit is helpful, hut it will not
answer for exclusive use, not being
sharp nor coarse enough.
II you prefer, you can buy prepared
grit from the dealers in poultry sup
plies. A good many people do this
and good many other people buy
oyster shells with the belief that they
are obtaining grit. The hens need
some Of the oyster shells. as they sup
ply the system with lime and car
Donates, but they will not take the
place of grit. They are too soft, and
digest rather than grind.
Keep we'll filled grit boxes where
the hens can run to them at will dur
ing the winter months and you will
find that they consume quite a lot Of
the material In months time. Pro
viding the grit in boxes and allowing
the hens to help themselves is the best
way of feeding 1t. They will then use
as much as is necessary for their
health, as they are the best judges of
this matter and consequently will not
consume more than they require.
II we always knew how much would
be needed for the health of the birds,
IT. would be all right to mix the grit
with the feed. But since We do not
know this. we would best not force
II We mixed 1t with the feed.

HIGHS VERSUS ALUMNI.
Houghton Eleven Will Get Initial
Workout Saturday at Park.


The Houghton high school football
team Will get it's first real test for the
year next Saturday afternoon when the
team will meet an eleven composed of
the best high school stars of the past
four years. The game will be played
at Ripley park.
The lineup OF the alumni team is
not quite complete yet. but Captain
Haug has signed enough men for the
game TO make sure Of the strongest
kind of a team Carlos Haug will
be at quarter back and Will have Leo
Haas at right half. Charley Anderson
at full back and Horace Cross at left
half Haas was the star half on the
championship team of 1909 and Ander-
son was full back and captain of the
same team. Cross PLAYED a great
game last year and was the mainstay
Of the 1911 team. For ends, the alumni
vii have Elmer Haug and Gardner Ed
wards; William Cochrane will be i'm
center, Al Anderson and Earl Sullivan
will he at tackle and the guards have
not been selected yet.
The high school team has no indiV-
dual stars that can compare with
Haas, Anderson, Cross and Haug but
they have had considerable practice
anu their superior condition and team
work are expected to tell heavily in
their favor. The highs have been
working out regularly urder the direc-
tion of Coaches Erickson and Wagner
for the past three weeks now and
are in frst-class condition.
The first game the Houghton team
will play will be on oct. 5 when they
meet Calumet on the Houghtor
grounds.

When blight attacks the cantaloupe
then the hopes of the grower willis, as
we'll as the leaves of his plant-it is
usually hard case to cure.
Leaf blight is the most common Of
cantaloupe troubles. The leaves be-
come covered with light. to dark
brown, generally circular spots, which
increase in size and finally coalesce,
resulting In complete whiting and
curling of the leaves.
The spots commonly show fine and
rather indistinct concentric markings
such as are found in the common
alternaria blight of the potato. The
leaf stalks and vines are SO affected.
The blight is caused by fungus
which may at least be checked by
spraying with bordeaux.
The first application should be made
when the vines are from IL to Is

during the season.

SUPERIOR OAT
SEED ESSENTIAL
Good, Plump Variety WIZ Ge1zz1..
nate Rapidly and Get
Vigorous Start-Best
Land Needed.
(By W. M. KELLY.).

There is more light and iufcrior oat
seed plpanted than any other causes
of small grain. Poor seed causes a
low yield OF oats every time. The
actual cost of improved seed is very
low compared with the increased
yields that come from its use.
By good seed l do not mean ex-
tremely high-priced seed that is ad-
vertised to produce 100 bushels of oats
to the acre but good plump seed that
will germinate rapidly and set Wig
orous start early in the spring. We
seldom see q large crop of oats
threshed from a field that makes a
poor start in the spring.
I have found that it pays big re-
turns to select one acre of the best
land to grow seed oats on each year
and to keep this crop for seed only
| and to buy new seed every two
or three years to plant on this acre
plot.
Under ordinary conditions believe
that we should change oat seed every
three or four years, for there is no
farm crop that will thrive better when
than oats, or that will deteriorate
faster when grown on the same farm
year after year. OF course proper
seed selection viii help to overcome
this tendency, but few farmers take
that precaution.
Closely linked with the good seed
question comes that of selecting or
planting healthy seed. and 1 have
found it good plan to treat all oat
seed with formalin before sowing, to
kill the smut spores and insure healthy
seed.
