PUT ME OFF AT TOLEDO,
I'M ON MY WAY
TO THE BIG LAND SHOWr
Farmers and City Folks From All
Parts of Michigan and Ohio Will
Attend the Greatest of All Land
Expositions at Toledo, November
% to December S.

"When the frost is on the pump
kin and the folders in the shock" "
when the fall planting is done, and
everything made snug for winter, the
farmers of Ohio and Michigan, and
lots of city folks, too, will be found
on their way to Toledo, to get look
at the biggest exhibit of modern
farm products and farm methods
ever gathered together.
This great undertaking has been
under way for over a year, and from
the many Endorsements received by
the federal and state authorities and
agricultural bodies, and the general
interest displayed, it is already an as
sured success.
The Land Show will be both inter
esting and instructive. Visitors will
find on display the very finest pick
of the exhibits at County Fairs this
Fall, the choicest fruit, grains, vege-
tables and stock. The prize winning
products of the soil, orchard and gar
dens of seven great agricultural states
will be assembled here under one
roof.
Useful demonstrations will be Civ
en- of the productive possibilities OF
the rich lands of Ohio and Michigan

HUNTING DUCKS IN JAPAN
Captured with Nets After Being De
coYed Into bitches.

Captured with Nets After Being De.
coyed Into bitches.
The following description Of an en-
joyable, and at the same time lucra-
tive, method of catching wild ducks in
the air by means of nets will interest
sportsmen. This sport, writes A. H.
Exnor in the Shooting Times" Is in
vogue in Japan, which abounds in all
kinds of water fowls, especially wild
ducks. Even in Tokyo itself many
thousands of these birds make the
moats round the castle their home dur
ing the winter.
The way the Japanese pursue this
sport is as follows: From lake sur
rounded by bamboo, brushwood. or
dykes, a number of bitches run out.
At short distance from the lake they
are bent in their direction so as to pre-
vent the ducks in the lake seeing what
is going on at the end of the ditch.
The last part of the ditch Is walled
in by somewhat more elevated dyke;
this to hide the sportsmen, posted
alongside the ditch, from the ducks
easy pray to an agile sportsman. Dur
ing the whole chase the sportsmen are
acting quietly, so as not to frighten the
other birds away.
In some of the bigger estates of
Japanese noblemen where there are
large lakes. special telephone lines are
laid from the observation hut to the
rendezvous hall Of the party, and the
sportsmen can thus promptly be ad-
vised by the watchers when and where
the wild ducks have entered ditch.
This kind of duck catching with the
net Is an original Japanese sport, and
the writer does not think 1t is much
known in Europe.

Trade In Reptiles.

The trade in snake skins does not
at first thought suggest itself as one
requiring large capital or very COM
plicated organization, at least in this
country. But in the far East things
are different. The Java Reptile Skin
Company has been incorporated in
the island Of that name, with a cap
ital of $4,000. Branches will be es-
tablished in number of places
throughout the island, where live
snakes will be purchased from native
hunters. Great stress Is placed upon
buying the reptiles alive, since the
skin is much more valuable If the
snake is skinned while it is yet liv-
ing. Live snakes IL to 1S feet in
length bring good prices, while dead
snakes are a drug on the market.
The woman who wears with pride a
handsome snake-skin card case will
probably not give a thought to the
fact that the material was stripped
from living snake. Ever since the
episode in Eden some few thousands
of years ago snakes have apparently
had no right to having their feelings
considered.

as we'll as the neighboring states and
Canada.
Practical experiments to determine
soil values, seed-testing and other
demonstrations will be conducted by
state and national experts. Exhibits
will be made of the latest inventions
for making farm life more comfort
able, enjoyable and profitable. Daily
concerts by the famous Royal Kilties
Band of Canada will prove pleasing
diversion.
Toledo was selected as the place
for the big Ohio and Michigan Show
because it can be so easily reached
from all directions, because of the
splendid hotel and restaurant accom-
modations, and on account of the un-
equaled facilities provided by the
great Terminal Auditorium, which is
uneaualed by even the famous Madi-
son Square Garden of New York City
in the amount of ground floor space
The Land Show has been endorsed
by many prominent public bodies and
individuals. including the Ohio State
Agricultural Commission. Governor
Cox of Ohio, Toledo Real Estate
Board and Toledo Commerce Club.
An added attraction for many farm
ers will be the Annual Meeting of
the Ohio State Agricultural Society,
which will be held in Toledo during
the Land Show The list of exhibit-
ors who have already contracted for
space shows that the leading makers
of agricultural implements will be
represented This will be an up-to-
the-minute, complete agricultural ex-
position, full of pleasure and profit
for all who attend
