other trees. These animals are all
easy to trap, the main difficulty be-
ing that they frequently occur in great
numbers.
Habits of Mice.
House mice have habit of follow
ing the walls of a room as they run
about, and trap placed behind a
table leg or small object where mice
naturally run need not be baited.
House rats are sometimes wary and
difficult to catch in traps set in the
ordinary way. A small steel trap set
in pan of bran or oats and care
fully covered will usually catch the
shyest of rats. It is well to scatter
small pieces Of meat or bread over
the bran. Wild rats and mice may
be trapped readily at the entrance to
their burrows or in their runways,
the traps and the manner of setting
them being the same as employed
in catching house rats and mice.
Prairie dogs. ground squirrels and
woodchucks are usually caught in
steel traps set at the entrance to their
burrows. Sometimes it is not nee
essary to cover the traps, but as
rule it is advisable to press them well
into the earth and cover them lightly
with grass or leaves or whatever may
be at hand.
"Porcupines may be caught by
means of an apple or carrot or bit
of green corn placed in a crevice be-
hind a No. 2 or No. uncovered steel
trap, as these animals are quite I'M
wary. They may also be caught in
traps set at the entrances of their
dens, which are often located in cliffs.
Cottontail rabbits are frequently de-
structive to young fruit trees and gar
den truck. They may be caught in
box traps baited with sweet apple,
carrot or pumpkin. Where rabbits are
abundant, shelter traps are occupied
by them more or less regularly dur
ing the day. A dog trained to hunt
rabbits will give warning when one
is inside trap. To prevent the quar-
RVS escape a stick with a disk at the
end of it may be thrust into the EN-
trance, after which the top of the
trap may be opened and the animal
caught in the hand. The skins and
flesh of trapped rabbits are superior
to those of rabbits which have been
shot.

SAILORS MADE FIRST GLASS
According to Story Of Its Discovery,
1t Was Entirely the Result
OF Chance.

One of the most useful materials in
the world is glass. 1t Is not only n
domestic necessity, but scientific es-
sent0l. The development of chemistry
would have been far more laborius
process had 1t not been for the many
utensils manufactured from glass. so
numerous and varied are its uses that
one can hardly conceive Of present
day civilization without this product.
Yet The discovery OF this valuable ma
terial was what might be termed an
accident, Floyd w. Parsons writes in
the Saturday Evening Post.
AS the story runs, merchant ship
laden with natron brittle white car
Donate Of sodium, was driven ashore Mt
the mouth of the River Belus in Pie
ncia. The crew prepared their food
on the beach, supporting their kettles
on piles made up Of Jumps Of the ma
iron. Later the sailors were amazed
to discover transparent masses OF
stone among the cinders Of their fires
The heat had melted the soda and the
siiceous sand together, with the result
that a crude variety OF glass was
formed. If the early records are cor
rect the art Of glass manufacture was
exclusively an industry OF the Phenlci
ans. One reason for credItlng this
statement is the fact that the ingredi.
ents of glass-natron, sand and fuel
were abundant upon the coast of
Phencla.

the sun eyaporates the water, which
condenses upon the sloplng glass and,
made pure by this operation, It runs

the main canal. II is said that nearly
n thousand gallons Of fresh water is
collected daily by this means.

Garden Notes

Now is the time to start to have early
ripe tomatoes. Ii you set out and early
variety you can hasten the ripening of
the fruit and have larger fruits by keep
ing every limb cut off and keeping the
main stem tied to a stake, tieing it ny
as it grows, about every ten days. II
you have not set an early variety of to-
matos the same plan will make earlier
and better tomatoes, just the same.
And IL one wants good large tomatoes
turnout the season he can have them
only by setting another row about June
l. We planted paper of POndorasa
and a paper of Golden Queen last week
and the plants are just up. These will
be set out about June ] and should
give us big tomatoes till frost, while
the early vines will bear a good crop Of
big ones and the lot of small ones lat
or.
When the crop of strawberries is off
the vines now very soon berry growers
will destroy hundred of plants. These
are good for setting out and every fam
lily not having few rows woulddo well
to set out some. Set now they wi !
bear big crop next year, set in the
fall they will bear a small crop next
year. We set few rows of Dunlaps
in March and they are worked out and
growing nicely, We will set out few
Excelsior extra early and a few Aroma
VERY late) in the next two weeks, and
the three should give US berries from
earliest to the latest.
Don't forget the succession of snap
beans and roasting ears. After the
middle of June We can have both every
day till frost if we will just keep plant
Jag each ten days or two weeks.
This is right in the midst of the sweet
potato trans2 planting season. The Fall
con Office has sold nearly $4,000 plants
the past three weeks. And we have
them for some time yet.
Plant celery seed now if you expect
to raised Gro p this year. The home
raised is far superior to that bought
from the regular celery growers.
The Irish potato crop in this section
will be far short of its average and we
must make up for it by planting big
late crop Lookout Mountain is the
safest for agood crop 10 the fall always,
but the Triumph is better when it does
hit. We plant few rows Of each OF
these varieties every year. and will this
year. The last of June is about the
time for planting Lookout Mountains,
and on till mi1dle of August.
