SUCCESSFUL TRAPPING.
H. L. Gardner

The whole secret of success in trapping is to study the habits of the various wild animals, and to learn how shrewd they are, and match cum ling with cunning. In the way of smelling, their powers of scenting their game or enemy seem simply marvellous; their organs seem to be is hundred times more acute than that of man. There are many spe- cies of wild fur bearers throughout the United States, but I will only give the methods used in trapping those most plentiful in Pulaski county.
 The mink is said by expert trap rers to be of the wariest of animals to trap unless great care is used in setting the trap. Every thing sur rounding the "set'' must look per Fectly natural with no sign to fndi- cate that the place has been visited and arranged by human hands. It is practically impossible to catch mink anywhere except along the banks of small streams. They feed on f1sn, birds, frogs, mice, squirrels and rab- bits, any of which make good bait. A natural cavity or hollow log along the bank of stream makes an excellent place to set the trap. Place the trap inside the entrance, cover it thoroughly with feathers and place the bait beyond the trap so it will be necessary for the mink to cross the trap to get to the bait. Another good set, is to set the trap in the water, baited with fish or rabbit, cov- CT the trap with light 1eaves-the mink in scratching around in the leaves will be caught.
 Good sets for the raccoon can be made on land, in corn fields, etc.; look for their "sign' or trails, set the traps accordingly, covering them with leaves, corn blades, etc. Setting

Arkansas has the largest, as, we'll as the best maintained peach orchard in the world
 1t stands as monumental refuta- ton of the standard joke on the Reitg farmer. It is the elimination of a city mans dream, after seventeen years of incessant toll. There is noth- ing country about the place. The farm hands" there can discuss Broadway and the bright lights from their actual observation, as well, land often better, than the buyers wno come from afar to buy the fruit.
 The location of this orchard, by post office, would be difficult to gfve, not because the orchard is running wild, but because of inability to con- fine such a stupendous proposition ,o one regulation first, second, third or fourth class office. Address a letter to the Arkansas Orchard Planting Company, or to the Bert Johnson Company at Nashville, Highland, To- kio, or several other places and it would reach Bert Johnson. the ruler over this vast sea of peach trees, without delay. This orchard is too extensive to be confined to one coun- ty, hence it rambles majestically along from Pike into Howard county
 Was Produce Dealer.
 Seventeen years ago Bert Johnson was produce dealer in Kansas City. He was no ordinary produce dealer. for he had vision, as we'll as dreams. and his taste was wonderful Bert Johnson received considerable fruit from Southwest Arkansas, and it's fla vor was a bit superior to any he handled from other sources. Tho 2I5- duce business was very good, Du. there was nothing ahead in it but end less competition, so Bert Johnson de cided he would enter field where he would have it all to himself. He one morning asked Mrs. Johnson to pack up and begin preparing herself tc grace with him the throne of the King of Peachdom.. Mrs. Johnson had heard of Arkansas, no doubt hay i ing heard about slow train dowr there, at one time or another, ant consented to move with the sams grace as the small boy who bid fare we'll to the Supreme Being because he was going to Texas.
 Cutting a long story right up be hind the ears, MT. and Mrs. Johnsor arrived in Arkansas to go into the peach growing business at a time when Bert Johnson's knowledge o peach growing was largely the price

traps in water is also good. A coon" will hunt for food along the banks of creeks and shallow streams, Set the traps in the water far enough for the trap to be under water. Cut a. bush and place in the water beyond the trap and another near the bank, leaving a space of about eight to ten inches between the two in which your trap is set. A small fish is good bait, as are also frogs, birds and corn. Raccoon skins should be taken off, opened, and stretcnec as nearly square as possible.
 The opossum is very easily trapped as it possesses very little cunning Almost any kind of bait is good The sets are almost the same as for skunk. Traps can be set anywhere in thick woods, near hollow logs or trees. 'Possum will eat fowl, fish or meat of almost any variety, either fresh or tainted. He is not partfcu- lar
 Skunk are much easier to trap than most others. They are not afraid of human beings or human signs. The skunk den is up under olf buildings, rock piles and bluffs. When the dens are located dig a small hole for the trap, placing cotton or light leaves under the "pan" and cover the trap with finely crumbled rotten wood or dirt, place some tainted meat beyond the trap, and you are sure to catch the skunk if he IS around
 Skins of mink, opossum and skunk should be "casedp, stretched on thin boards, and hung up to "eure" no preparation of any kind should be used in curing" Natures way is hest. Never place the skins in the sun as that will cause them to burn The 'possum's tail should be cut off when skinned, the mink and skunk's tails should be left on the pelt. but the tail bone must be removed and the tail split down as far as possible to prevent spelling. Traps best suited are No, 1 1-2 for 'possum and skunk, No. for the soon, and No. 1 for mink.
 Use cotton gloves, soaked in bees wax, in setting or handling the traps as nearly all wild animals are suspi- cious and are shy of any human odor The grease and odor of new traps must be removed and this may be done by smoking them with pine or cedar.
 Test all traps before setting. see that the springs are strong enough to hold the animal you are trapping for. Be sure that all traps are se- curely fasteneds when set Tn going over old traps, they should never be oiled with anything except fat meat, grease, tallow or lard. For ordinary trapping three dozen traps are sufi- cient, to make a regular '.job" of it, as high as a hundred traps may be set and cared for by one man. Elk 1 tra care should be observed in hunt ing for the sign, setting the traps and caring for them, and above all things one must have the patience of Job if he expects to make a sue ] cess of trapping.
