HOW TRAPS MADE
THIS BOY MONEY

A Teton county boy, Henry Shafer,
last year decided to make little poe
ket money with traps. He had noticed
that there were a lot of various kinds
of fur-bcaring animals around his
fathers farm, but had never tried to
catch any of them. He made 5000 in
four months and had a lot OF valu-
able experience to boot. This is how
he did it:
Henry noticed that some of the
eastern fur buying houses put forth
at no cost booklets giving informa-
ton and advice on trapping. He sent
to every house that he heard OF for
these books and soon had quite a
library on the subject which cost him
nothing but few two-cent stamps.
Then he went to Choteau and bought
some traps.
Equipped with the information he
needed concerning the best time and
the best places to set his traps, he got
busy. He soon learned a lot about the
habits of the wild animals he was aft
err and he found it an interesting
study. He discovered that very
shortly he was the best Informed per-
son about animals and trapping III his
neighborhood.
He was successful from the start
He got plenty Of weasel, skunks,
mink. muskrat and a couple OF bob
eats During the season he also cap
tured a wolf and four coyotes. lie
found the business profitable, Tor the
eastern fur houses were a ready mar
kct for all he had to offer. AT the
end of the season he found that he
had earned 1928. This year he is re-
peating the performance on bigger
scale. 1t does not take much time
and does not interfere with his farm
duties.
Any Montana farmer can make
good money with traps during the
winter. The thing that is most I'M
portant is to get as much lntorlna-
ton as possible on the subject before
setting your traps. 1t makes lot
of difference in results.

closing the cellar during the warm
hours. In this low temperature or
ganisms which cause decay develop
very slowly and the tubers are kept
in Il dormant condition. In common
storage, potato seed too often sprouts
before the planting season. 1t has
been estimated that in the develop
ment of good growth of sprouts a
potato may expend one-half its stored
energy These sprouts which develop
in the cellar are long and spindling
and are, of course, knocked off in
the process of planting. New sprouts
must be developed and such seed can
not be expected to give results COM
parable with those obtained from
good, vigorous seed. In potato grow
ing prompt, vigorous termination is
essential to success and it will pay
well to properly store the seed.
If Il good storage cellar is not
available the seed may be stored in
pits or piles. The most common prac-
tice is to spread straw upon the,
ground and build up on this a cone
shaped pile six or seven feet across
the bottom and as high as possible.
Straw is then spread over the pile to
a depth of six inches and dirt is
thrown upon this. a ventilation
should be placed in the top of each
pile. Tt is we'll to level the dirt off
the top of each pile for two or three
weeks to allow the potatoes to cure
As cold weather comes on more dirt
or manure is added to protect the tn.
bers from freezing.

There are probably many Montana
growers who could select out several
hundred bushels of the best of their
crop and sell it at fancy price for
seed purposes without affecting in the
least the present market value OF the
remainder Of the crop. BY so doing
the Montana growers will not only
realize handsomely on the present
crop but will also establish reputa-
ton for Montana grown seed which is
bound to result in a demand for it III
future years. Montana has ideal eli
matte and soil conditions for produr-
ing northern grown seed potatoes and
once having established a reputation
for this product the demand is sure
to increase.
Selection of Seed Potatoes.
Potatoes intended for seed should
first of all be of a standard variety
and not from a mixed crop. Ii tn
aim is to improve the variety and
Weld the selection is generally made
while the potatoes are being graded OF
after they are in the bins. Select me
dunn sized, uniform, shallow eyed tu
bers which have as nearly as possible
the characteristics of the variety. Tu
bers to be avoided are those with dee{
eyes and pointed seed ends. In most
varieties it is desirable to select tu
bers with the cluster of eyes found al
the seed end on one side rather thar
at the extreme end. Tubers showing
any trace of scab or other disease OF
any mechanical injury should never
be saved for seed purposes.
Storage of Seed Potatoes.
Potato seed cannot be too carefully
handled. In storage there is Otter
opportunity for it to become infected
with rot producing organisms, which
destroy it either before or after plant
ing. Any bruise or break in the Skin
of the potato increases the chance fo'
contamination. 1t is bad practice te
store seed in old potato sacks or III
dirty aud unsanitary storage cellars
Before storing potatoes the cellar
should be thoroughly cleaned and dis
infected with white wash or by spray
ING all parts of the cellar with a solu-
ton made up of one pound of forma,

The best temperature for storing is
from 80 degrees to IS degrees, Such
a temperature can be maintained even

The Riverside ranch. near Toston,

Of it than some farmers do from a

swine, and is turnin~ off on an aver

has received in recent years has been
six cents. His gross return per year
from his little farm, probably the
smallest in Montana, is about $4,000.

lily of Danger.

The barking of a faithful little watch
dog probably saved Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam Becker and their two children, a
boy and a girl from being burned to
death in a fire which shortly before
o'clock yesterday morning destroyed their
home, together with its contents. located
at Mount Ida, Alexandria County, few
miles north of Alexandria.
Mr.. and Mrs. Becker were aroused
from their slumbers by the continuous
barking of the dog and they discovered
their house afire and all barely escaped
with their lives.
The only thing in the house that Mr.
Becker succeeded in saving were the
sacred vessels of st. Rita's Catholic
Church, which were kept in his house,
that church being in close proximity to
his house.
The Potomac fire department responded
and gave what aid they could with their
chemical engine. In the meantime a call
was sent to Mayor Fisher, and when he
learned that the house was about half
a mile away from a water plug 1t was
deemed ineSpedient to send an engine
to that place.
Crossed electric wires are thought tc
