The Romans had the most dimcult style of calendar, for they had fxed epochs, namely, the Calends, on the hrst of the mofr.?:; the Nonas. about the 9th of the month, and the Ides. which were the middle of the month. Instead, however, of counting forward from these periods, they counted backward. so that, for instance. the 18th of the month would be three days before the ltles, and so on, which made calcula- tions of calendars and alrnanacs diAl- cult, since the Nones and Ides varied according to the month. the Nones be- ing always the ninth day before the !des.

How to Trap Muskrats

In the December Farm and Fireside
a writer says about trapping musk
rats:
When trapping in deep water
that is, when the entrance of the
house or den Is situated in such a
way that it is impossible to make an
ordinary set-incline a board at an
angle OF 35 degrees, sticking one end
in the mud and supporting the other
with stakes. Just below the surface
OF the water arrange two nails so as
to hold a trap. On the part of the
board extending out of the water ar
range some decoy. The animals in
climbing the board will encounter the
trap and get caught If the set is
made properly
Stake a pumpkin or head of cab
bage in shallow water, surrounding it
with several traps. Often several fur
bearers may be taken in single eve
ming with a set Of this kind"
