WILD CAT INVASION SERIOUS
Animals Too Cunning to Be Caught
in Steel Traps.

Animals Too Cunning to Be Caught
in Steel Traps.
Wildcats have invaded the poultry
districts of WILDLY Island, Wash, in
such numbers as to endanger the In
dustry.
Ranchers have resorted to the un-
usual method of trapping the chicken
eating pests by batting large halibut
hooks with meat and hanging them
from branches of trees near the
ranches. The wildcats leap for the
meat, either becoming hooked in the
mouth or by one foot
They are too cunning to step in the
common open-jaw steel trap, so this
expedient has proved the one method
by which hundreds have been caught.
The pelts are sold to Seattle fur buy
ers who ship them east under the
guise of lynx cats.

 We old farmers are apt to smile rath- CT superciliously at what we call book fsrnin' |" We haven't, as rule, much confidence in what it's followers call ''sci- entifc farming" Our contention is that the way to learn how to handle dirt is 70 handle it, and the way to learn farm ng is by farming til we've found out
 While can't quite agree with that doctrine in all that 1t implies as well as all 1t says, I own up to good deal Of sympathy with it's defenders. They've us- 1aliy been through the mill. They speak put of a fund of true learning based on long years of the most fundamental ex- perimenting and testing. They've blow ed and narrowed and cultivated and hood their dirt till they ought to know good deal about what it will do and what it won't do. They've summered and winter ed in all sorts and conditions of weather and climate till they ought to know the Eigns of the weather.
 They usually think they do know these things rather better than specta- cled' stranger with test tube and roll or utuus paper. or an anemometer on his bat. Tn fact, they're likely to look with something akin to their own soil or their pwn weather At the same time they're inclined to be somewhat fixed, not to say -sot" and stubborn, in their belief in their YTvn shrewdness and in the certainly Of heir own pet signs"
 And yet. every once in a while l stumble up against an occurrence which shows that they aren't infallible. that they're liable to make big mistakes; in deed. that they're just about as apt to be wrong in their readings of the past or their prognostications of the future as khe scientific gents.
 For instance: Ever since was "knee- hieh-to-a- grasshopper" I've heard from one veteran after another that "quack grass won't grow on poor land" When ] grumbled over the labor l had to put in to keep that pest from outgrowine and smothering my garden crops they comforted me with the repetition of that statement.
