Trappina Turtles.

In the old days In the south the ne
gro fishermen used to have an ingen-
lous and simple way Of trapping fresh
water turtles. Any boy today can use
the same method with the same effect
Turtles have favorite summing logs.
Beside one Of the logs sink water
tight box two feet long and foot and
n half wide. The open top of the box
should stand about an inch above the
water. Nail the box securely against
the log In such a position that 1t will
catch the turtles that fall from the
log. After the trap has been set leave
the pond or lake for time. On re-
turning approach the log quietly from
the side opposite the box. II there
are any turtles on the log, frighten
them suddenly. They will pitch off
hurriedly into the box.-Youtls Com.
