ROOT CROPS FOR LIVE STOCK
Big Tonnage Secured From Beets and
MangeIs-PIants Draw Especial
Iy Heavy on Phosphorus.

Sugar beets and mangels grown for
stock will produce big tonnages. Man
gels like a rather cool climate and
sugar beets are grown successfully in
about the same general latitude that
grapes are produced easily and some
what north of that belt, says writer
in Farm and Home.
Put your root crops in good fer
tile soil, plowed deep and well titled,
if you expect heavy tonnage. Work
up a good seedbed and if the land is
not already very rich put on some
we'll rotted manure after plowing.
Root crops draw especially heavy on
phosphorus.
Plant the beets in drills with the
rows far enough apart that cultiva-
ton is not difficult Put the rows
20 to 30 inches apart. Plant about
complaining time. You will have to
hoe and thin them by hand.

Old Tree Still Fruitful.

Apples plucked from the oldest ap-
pie tree on the Pacific coast, in Van
couver, Wash, have been sent to the
department of agriculture by former
horticulture inspector of the district.
This famous tree is almost ninety
years old and produced fair crop Of
apples this year. The department will
make reproductions of the apples in
size, shape and color, and they will
be returned and later handed over to

Mole Traps-a, Harpoon; b, Scissor
Jaw; c, Choker.

mole when it attempts to pass in Ell
ther direction. The choker trap has a
pair of wire loops that encircle the
burrow when the trap is set. All these
traps are sprung by the same sort of
mechanism-a trigger pan resting on
depressed place in the mole ridge in
such way as to be lifted when the ami
NAL passes beneath. No part Of set
mole trap should ever be in the run
way. as it's presence makes the animal
avoid the obstruction by burrowing
around or below it.
Directions for Setting Traps.
Only general directions for setting
mole traps can be given here, nor are
detailed instructions necessary, since
the makers of traps usually furnish
specific directions for using them. A
mole trap can be successfully oper-
ated only when set on that part of a
mole runway which is near the sur
face and has the soil raised into a
distinct ridge, newly worked. Freshly
broken soil usually indicates that the
operator may make small break in
the ridge and observe whether the
mole repairs it within few hours. In
placing trap, one of the stretches of
the runway that leads in a definite di-
rectiOn should be chosen rather than
one of the turns that may not be regu-
larly traversed by the mole.
Before setting the trap, it is we'll to
ascertain the course of the burrow by
thrusting down lead pencil, or stick
of similar size. The trap selected
should then be lined up with the course
as nearly as possible; the jaws of the
scissor-jaw type should straddle it, the
loops of the choker type should encir-
Gle it, and the spikes Of the harpoon
type should be directly above it. In
the case of the harpoon type, it is best
to force the impaling spikes into the
ground once or twice to facilitate their
penetrating into the burrows when the
trap is sprung. It is desirable also, in
setting any of the traps, to depress on
ly that part of the ridge Immediately
under the trigger pan, using the hand
instead of the foot for this purpose. A
little earth or a small chip of wood
may be placed under the pan if neces-
sary. The trigger catch should be set
as lightly as possible, and one should
avoid stepping on any part of the run
way near the trap. 1t will pay to visit
traps at least twice day.
Moles are persistent in repairing
breaks in their tunnels and may often
be surprised at their work. It is easy
then to capture the animal by impaling
it with fork or throwing it out by
quick thrust of spade or shovel. A
section Of the runway may first be
broken open or leveled and the place
watched until the animal is observed
moving the soil.
Other Traps Used.
Moles are sometimes trapped in emp
ty glass jars, gallon size. The jar

Women's Wooden Dresses.

Dress goods made from wood is an
invention in England. In appearance
the cloth is said to closely resemble
silk and to be inexpensive.
The fabric is made by cutting wood
into thin sheets and treating it chem
ically so that it is converted into q
thick fluid. When this is. passed
through a series of heated pipes the
moisture is evaporated rapidly and
the product changed, into solid
which passes through a fine-mesh
screen in the form of thread.
A chemical bath is then given the
hair-like strings, they are thoroughly
dried and woven into fabrics.
