Buy Small Tools in One
Lot: Tine to LIST Them

Few farmers realize the extent OF
their investment in small items of
equipment, says the United States
department of agriculture, or the in
convenience involved in buying them
singIy or in small lots. In planning
the farm equipment, due considera-
ton should be given to the necessary
outlay of these minor tools.
There is no better time for getting
the list completed than the late fall
after harvest work is over. If pos
sibIe, the articles should be purchased
all in one order. This will save
time and, usually, money. Also, 1t
will entail a total expenditure suf-
ficiently large to impress the buyer
with the Importance of giving sys-
tematic care to his small tools. Fol
a general farm Of $50 acres, the
necessary minor tools, ranging from
a husking peg to a grindstone, will
cost from 500 up to the neighbor-
hood of 5000.
The department has published, in
Farmers Bulletin SIG, a list of ar
ticles of minor equipment needed or
farms, with the approximate cost pei
article The list is divided into
PARTICLES suggeted as essential" ano
ARTICLES not essential, but very de-
sirable The total cost of articles
suggested as essential Is $114.7O. Re
cent advances in the prices of some
articles may somewhat increase the
total.

CATTLE FEEDERS MUST USE
MORE CARE THAN FORMERLY

/ this expression from an old, expert
enced feeder: "a policy that is prac-
teal and profitable for one feeder
may be wholly impracticable for an
other. Because one man buys only
top feeders, and feeds to a finish
is no, evidence that he is a better
cattle, man than his neighbor who
buys yas lower grade of cattle and
does not feed to a finish" And that
means, again, that every feeder is
advised to analyze his own situation
with the greatest care that he can
give to it, that he avail himself of
whatever aid the county agent can
give, that he obtain the special in
formation available from his state
agricultural college and experiment
station, and from the United States
department of agriculture.
The whole matter is much of a
guess, as everybody admits. But
there is a good deal of system, not
to say science, in good guessing. The
man who guesses how many beans
are contained in a half-gallon jar
does not simply say, well, guess
there are 469,S73 beans in that jar"
He ascertains, as nearly as he can,
how many beans fills a cubic inch
of space and then he computes the
cubic contents of ha1f-gallon jar.
With the variation in sizes of beans,
thickness Of glass and other things,
it is still enough of a guess, but
the guesser is not going 1t absolutely
blind. The farmer whose profits
for the year depend largely on how
he comes out on the cattle he feeds
should be at least as systematic
guesser as the fellow who takes
gamble on a jar of beans.

Pine SapIinqs for Fences

AS a result of experiments con-
Quoted at the South Carolina ex-
pertinent station, Director H. w.
Barre makes the following timely
suggestions for the benefit of those
who are interested in better farm
fencing.
Cut small pine saplings in the
woods and haul them to place
where they can be peeled with knives,
axes or spades. The spade is prob
ably the most efficient tool for peel
ing pine poles, but not so satisfactory
for peeling hickory and oak. Lay
the poles on the ground and sue
cessively strip the bark the entire
length. The inner bark as well as
the outer bark must be removed so
that the exposed wood will dry rapid
ly and absorb the preservative
easily.
Cut the poles into seven-foot
lengths. Point each at the top end
to keep water from standing on the
end or. soaking in. Season these
posts by placing them in piles of
fifty in the open where the sun will
strike them. 1t will take six or eight
weeks, depending on the weather, to
season pine posts.
Different methods of applying
creosote may be used namely, the
double-tank method, the single-tank
method and the brush method. The
double-tank method consists of heat
ing about three feet of the lower
ends Of the posts in the oil in an
iron tank at 220 degrees Fahrenheit
for two or three hours, after which
the posts are transferred to another
tank containing oil at about 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and allowed to re-
main one to two hours. The oil in
the tank may be heated by coils of
steam pipes, if live steam is avail
able, by building a fire pit under the
tank, or by building fire around two
inch or three-inch pipes extending
out from the tank.
By the single-tank method the
posts may be treated in oil for two
hours at 220 degrees Fahrenheit and
to remain in the oil without

Sprouting Oats for Feeding

Oats for sprouting are soaked
over night in warm water and then
spread from one-half to one inch
thick on trays having perforated bot
toms, and put into an oat sprouter.
Water the oats thoroughly and turn
the trays around once daily to pro
mote even sprouting. Artificial heat
should be supplied in cool weather
by the use of a kerosene lamp or
some other meaons. Use a good
grade of oats and allow a square
inch of sprouted-oat surface to
each hen daily, feeding the sprouted
oats on the floor of the poultry house
or in the yard. Feed at any time
after the sprouts are well started,
which usually takes from five to
seven days. Keep the sprouter clean
and spray it occasionally with dis
infectant to prevent the growth of
mold spores, ~

AND SELLING FURS
A GOOD FARMING SIDE LINE

that many foxes still are trapped in
this country. Red fox pelts, obtain"
able in widely distributed areas in
the northern states, should bring
from SO to $50 each this season,
while the gray fox found in the
southern states will bring from $1.5O
to SO a pelt.
example of returns that can be
secured from fur resources long
overlooked is found in the fact that
the people of Oregon Melted approx
mately $4,000 from mole skins last
year, following trapping demonstra-
lions by representatives of the bio
logical survey of the United States
department of Agriculture. The
demonstrators showed that while mil
lions of European mole skins were
used by fur manufacturers in Amer
lea before the war, the skins of
some American moles, especially the
large, common variety of western
Washington and Oregon, are larger
and have better texture than those
from Europe. Farmers bulletin 1872,
published by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, describes
the best kinds of mole traps, how
to set them, and gives other infor-
nation. The methods discussed are
especially adapted to the Pacific
coast states, but with notifications
will apply to all localities where
moles are found.
Muskrats Still Numerous
While minks, raccoons and skunks
have become somewhat scarce in GER
tain localities, muskrats have not d.
minished in numbers except in places
where the marshes nave been drained.
These animals multiply much more
rapidly than many other fur bearers,
and because of their aquatic retreats
and their habits are better fitted to
maintain their numbers under reason
able protection. Muskrat pelts this
season should bring from Is cents
to 50 each. Though the price of
cottontail rabbit skins is loW-15
cents to 35 cents pound for dry
cased skins-this source of income
should not be overlooked by the trap
per-farmer, as frequently a large
number of these animals can be
caught in the course of the winter.
There is frequently a good market
for the rabbit meat also. Among
other fur-bearing animals more or
less widely distributed throughout
the country are opossums, badgers,
and, for western regions, coyotes and
wolves.
If the farmer who temporarily
turns trapper is to realize the best
prices for pelts, he must learn the
proper methods of handling them.
Most skins should be "cased' for
the emarket. A cased skin is one re-
the market. A cased skin after slit
ting the hind legs but not the belly
Of, the animal, thereby leaving a
tubular-shaped pelt. The skin is
left with the fur turned in, and dried
on a stretcher made of thin board
sharpened to a point, or of heavy
galvanized wire.
The biological survey Of the U. S.
department Of Agriculture furnishes
on application information regard
ing the trapping of fur-bearing ami
mails, laws relating to the subject,
and the preparation Of pelts. 1t also
supplies inquiries with lists of buy
ers for various kinds of pelts.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1919-11-07

With the approach Of cold weather
the thrifty farmer in almost any
section of the country soon can un-
dertake some form of fur trapping
with profit. A knowledge of the
fur-bearing animals found in his
vicinity and how to catch them and
treat their pelts reveals a source
of income often overlooked. For
the boy in the country nothing Of
fers more delightful diversion than
trapping expedition, particularly
if it entails a money reward. Where
the farm itself affords little oppor-
tunity for trapping, an accessible
stream or wooded tract is generally
to be found nearby where fur-bear-
ing animals can be caught. While
the fur resources of the country have
been diminishing steadily, prices
have been rising. The war also has
been an important factor in this
upward trend.
Wait Until Fur Is Right
The person about to engage in pelt
gathering must understand at the
outset the necessity of postponing
trapping until the animals fur is at
it's best. The -pelt of a mink, for
example, killed in September might
not be worth more than fifty cents,
whereas if the same animal were
killed in November or December, its
pelt might bring $40. Speaking gen.
orally, trapping should not begin I'M
til cold weather has set in-that is,
until late November or December
for most sections Of the country.
Two principal exceptions to the rule
are the muskrat and beaver whose
fur is not at it's best until Feb
ruary or March.
In addition to the widely distrib-
| uted fur-bearing animals mentioned
below each region has many others
to lure the pelt collector. The prices
given here are necessarily only ap-
proximations. Each trapper must
bear in mind that the size and cond1-
ton of the individual pelt, as well
as other factors, will have much to
do with the sum it will bring.
Skunk Pe1ts Valuable
The skunk, one of the most COM
mon fur-bearers, is found in every
state of the union. Large skunk
skins probably will bring the trap
per from 81 to IS this season, while
the pelts of the little spotted skunk
will bring from ten to eighty cents.
The weasel, Of one variety or an
other, is to be found in practically
all sections of the country. For
merly the brown pelts were consid-
cred worthless, but with the rise
in fur prices brown pelts should net
the trapper from ten to twenty cents
each, while the white pelts will bring
from fifty cents to $3.50.
An animal not to be found In
large numbers, but native to regions
north, south, east and west, is the
mink. When in prime condition its
skin, if secured in the north, should
bring from 81 to So, while a skin
secured in the south should COM
mand 50 to So. Likewise, the raccooD
living in the north produces a bet
ter pelt than the one living in the
south Good raccoon skins are worth
from $3.50 to 1915 each to the trap
per. .

jewellers, may be surprised to learn

market. He can demonstrate the de-
STABILITY of the meat of young rab-
bits to his neighbors and sometimes
to other agencies. If a breeder is
not able to carry out an educational
campaign singly, he should endeavor
to organize with others in such an
undertaking. By combining they can
save cost in advertising and stabilize
their output.
Rabbits of recognized breeds con-
forming in size, build, and color to
accepted standards are always in de-
mand for breeding stock. Those born
of registered parents are preferred
and are spoken of as "pedigreed."
They can be registered if the owner
so desires. The cost of keeping pedi-
greed or registered stock is no more
than that of keeping ordinary stock
and the returns are considerably
greater. Such stock can usually be
disposed of by advertising in poul-

Rabbit Raisers Must Make
Market Before Profit

The attractive, not to say start
ling, mathematical calculations which
are sometimes made in estimating
breeding possibilities Of rabbits not
infrequently have led persons to en-
gage in rabbit raising without prop
er study of the problem. Before
starting on this enterprise it is ad-
visable also for one to consider we'll
how such rabbits as can be raised
may be disposed of. In the vicinity
of towns where there are restaurants,
hotels, and boarding houses, arrange
ments can usually be made to fur
nish market men or landlords a regu-
lar number of rabbits weekly. But
one should not begin raising rabbits
on a large scale in a locality where
people are unaccustomed to eating
them. No breeder can expect to make
profit until he has developed a
