Mink Farm Latest in Fur Production

Mink Farm Latest in Fur Production
Portland, Me.-F c. Tibbetts of this
city proposes to breed mink for the
pelt. He has studied the mink for
years, has corresponded with produc
ers of mink and purchasers of mink
hides He finds that mink fur is a
very desirable sort of fur. Not only is
it warm, but it is smooth and of fine
texture and has remarkable heat pro-
ducing qualities.
1t has also been demonstrated to
him that the mink will thrive in Maine,
or at least it should thrive there. The
climate and soil conditions, he says.
are just right for the mink and the
best spot in Maine is down on Deer
Island, Casco Bay. 1t is there he pro-
poses to establish his mink farm.
1t may surprise folks to know that
the mink is highly civilized animal.
In many respects he bears a marked
resemblance to the human family.
Most people have a notion that the
mink prefers hole in the ground as
a place of abode to anything else in
the world. Perish the thought! Tib-
belts says it is not so. His say-so is
backed up by his investigations and
years of study of the mink family.
He says that given his choice be-
tween a hole in the ground and box
filed with clean straw, the rent being
the same, Mr. and Mrs. Mink will de-
eide in favor of the box. Likewise,
once having set up housekeeping in the
box the mink family will never make
the error of crawling into any other
box. They know their own box from
the box of any other mink family. This
is something worth knowing about
mink
Tibbetts has found that ranch bred
mink are the best with which to start
mink farm. He says they are hardy
and reproduce rapidly. He feels that
the venture will prove a success. A
good mink pelt is worth from SO to

Good Roads Association.

A vote of the officials of the
Arizona Good Roads Association
has decided that the next Con-
ference of the Association shall
be held at Flagstaff at a date
after the middle of September.
1t was originally planned to hold
a meeting about the time of the
Tax Conference, but the tax
gathering does not close until
the last day of July, and so many
men must be back at their
business places on the first of
the month that it was decided,
with a view to getting together
a big meeting, to hold the road
session at a later date when
more of the people are back from
vacations.
The President of the Associa-
tion, Mr.. Dwight B. Heard, is
preparing the call, and same will
be issued in a few days. The
September meeting of the Asso-
citation should be a hummer.
Already several topics that are
full of important possibilities
have been suggested for discus
sion. Plan to attend the next
conference of the Good Roads
Association at Flagstaff in Sep

A Salutation.

Once on a time, as all fairy
stories start-so long ago we hes
itate like coy maiden to give
the exact years suffice to
say it was shortly after the writ
er had shed his milk teeth, and
delivered his essay on the loca-
tion of Italy in relation to the
Alps-it is still in the same place
we were obsessed with the idea
that we had a divine commission
to go out and reform the world.
The writer labored long and dill
gently to accomplish his aim. 1t
seemed such a simple task.
With the fleeting years that
have gone, we gaze back; not a
furrow is broken, nor a faint
trail left where we expected to
see fruitful fields and we'll de-
fined roads. Now with the hand
of Time frosting the hair on his
mental dome, the Sun Of Life
past the meridian and fast reced-
ing to twilight and the close of
day, we wonder if the writer will
be spared long enough to reform
himself before he is gathered to
his Fathers. 1t will be a hercu-
culean task, and time is fleeting.
These sentiments are suggest
ed as we come among the good
people of Winslow to take up old
duties in a new field, as the best
illustration of the general policy
to be pursued in the Winslow Mail
under this administration. If
we can so conduct the paper that
it will bring smiles and con-
tentment to our readers, or re-
lieVe a burden from an oppressed
heart we will feel our mission
has been successful. Our aim
will be to work with all interests
in harmony to build up the city
of Winslow, and the develope-
ment of Navajo county, and to
this end we solicit hearty CO.

our part to give the readers a

fast as we are financially able,
we expect to improve it's mechan-
ical appearance by adding a new

per as our advertising patronage
justifies. 1t is our ambition to
give to Winslow a model country

The puny efforts of certain
newspapers and small politicians
to decry woman suffrage, are
only deceiving themselves in
thinking they are making any
headway. Woman suffrage is
here to stay, and every year the
sentiment is growing stronger.
At an election in Los Angeles
only a few weeks ago two very
estimable ladies were candidates
for positions in the city council;
and one, Mrs. Lindsey was elect
ed, while the other was defeat
ed by a very small majority.
Mrs. Lindsey had been making a
close study of municipal affairs
for several years, and we doubt
very much if any of the other
eight councilmen elected with
her, have a better fund of in
formation along certain lines of
municipal government. We want
to confess right here and now
that we have never been very
enthusiastic over woman suf-
frage, not that we entertained
any idea that women are not the
equal Of men in intellectually,
but the old-fashioned sentiment
is still strong with US that
woman is of a little finer clay
than men, to whom we all look up
to with alteration and reverence.
To think of them mixing in the
maelstrom of politics seemed al
most deflement of our ideals.
But if the entrance of women in
to the political life Of the nation
will purify our politics and place
it on a higher plane, May God
speed the day when it comes

TIME TO DESTROY RODENTS

Time and experience have fully de-
monstrated the futility of virus as a
rodent exterminator particularly
squirrels, gophers, and mice pests.
Nearly all forms of poison have Civ
en- way to strychnine, and for this
purpose, there. is nothing better than
a strychnine coated wheat. The cap
idity of manufacturers has in many
cases led them to diminish the
amount of poison below the safety
point, with the result that it has
proven worthless in use. Disappoint.
ment has also arisen through impro-
per coating. Farmers today are de-
pending more and more on the we'll
tried, tested brands of coated wheat
for the destruction of squirrels and
gophers. No stock, fruit, grain or
alfalfa grower should jeopardize his
crop by failure to act promptly this
season.
These rodents are now asleep;
o O with the warm SUMS rays, their
whistle will be heard and this is the
psychological moment to sprinkle
the poisoned wheat. A few grains in
the early morning dropped down
each burrow, will turn the trick. The
long fast makes the creatures raven
Gus and the poison is Immediately
effective. Fields have been shown
where thousands of these rodents
have been dstroyed in t~wenty-four
hours, by this method.

NATURES RELIABLE, GUIDE
FOR GARDEN PLANTING

Nature furnishes guides for garden
planting which are even more reliable
than the calendar according to the de-
partment's garden specialist. The old
residents of the soil such as the maple,
dogwood, and white oak are the best
interpreters of natures moods in
spring, and quickly reflect them, so
that the gardener who follows their
silent suggestions may arrange the
planting of his vegetables accordingly.
When the silver naples begin to put
forth their leaves and the "catkins"
appear on the willows and poplars,
nature is indicating that the season
is right for the planting of such We
getables as lettuce, mustard, onion
seeds and onion sets, parsley, the
round-seeded peas, early Irish pota-
toes, radishes, spinach and turnips.
This, of course, is provided that the
soil is in good order, which can be
determined by taking a handful at a
depth of 3 or 4 inches from the sur
face, compact it in the hand by closing
the fingers, and if, upon opening them,
the ball of earth gradually falls apart,
it is ready to be spaded. Manure
should then be buried a full spade
depth below the surface and the soil
should be made fine and compact with
an even surface.
Not until about 10 days after ma
ture has set the date for the above
mentioned vegetables should such
garden truck as beets, carrots, and
kohl-rabi be planted. A second SOW
ing of peas can also be made at this
time.
The dogwood and the white oak be-
gin to show signs of awakening at a
time when other vegetables may be
planted. These include bush and pole
beans, sweet corn, cucumbers, musk
melons, watermelons, and various kind
of squash. The gardener and house
wife will rarely plant too early II
they wait for nature to tell them what
to do.
