The logical way of combat
ting this pest is to kill and
market the rabbits. There is
a demand for jack rabbits in
the city markets and local
dealers in Bottineau will take
them at a price from 1Oc to
,15c a piece.

lies in the hands of the farm

their ammunition by killing
these pests.

DRAGGING The
ROADS NECESSARY
Exceptional Snowfall Requires Winter
Work 10 Keep Highways In
TraveIahIe Shape.

Sherwood. Jan. 27.-Farmers
of northern Renville county
are resorting to many and var
ious. .expedients for putting the
snow trails in good travelable
shape.
So much snow has fallen
since winter set in that the
roads have built up much fast
er then even the heavy traffic
over them could keep them
packed. As result, the un-
worked trails are narrow and
treacherous; only a little devi-
alton from the "beaten path"
is necessary to cause founder
ing horses or spill.
To overcome this difficulty
some farmers have been plank
ing the trails with stone laden
drags, others have turned their
stoneboats crossways and drag
ged them along the trails.
Still another means of getting
rid of the loosely piled trails is
to attach a plow bottom to a
sled runner; this does the work,
"goin' and comm. limerick
Nelson of Prosperity merely
dragged a heavy plank across
the trail behind his sled when
marketing his grain before the
holidays.
Under the law the town ship
road supervisors are expected
to keep the roads in good u.s.
able shape all the year round.
Many have expressed the opin-
ion that dragging in winter is
about as sure a means of build
ing a solid dependable road as
it is in the summer time. In
an agricultural country like
this, roads are half the battle
for crops must be marketed
after they are grown.

a good slogan for the entire
year.
