M0LESKINS VALUABLE
SOLD THROUGH POOLS
Boys and Girls Have Formed
Clubs for Trapping.
Taught Approved Methods by Extern
sion Workers and Representatives
of Biological Survey-Prizes
for Gophers.

Moleskins, which brought little or
nothing in the ordinary fur markets,
have been successfully pooled and sold
in Washington and Oregon through
farm bureau organizations. Boys and
girls In many communities have formed
clubs for trapping moles. Through the
cooperative work of the extension
agents and representatives of the
biological survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture, they have
been taught approved methods of trap
ping and skinning the moles.
Two hundred and twenty mole pelts
were sold in Benton county, Ore, for
boy and girl trappers. Linn county,
Ore, reports three communities which
offered 10 cents each for moles and
pocket gophers and an additional prize
for the three children killing the most
pests. One community reports 83 moles
killed In this way.
Tilamook county, Ore, was divided
into four districts, and $50 purses were
allotted to each district for first,
second, and third prizes. The county
paid scent bounty on both moles
and pocket gophers. The moleskins
were stored In the county agents
Office until a salable amount was col
lected. They were then sold to the
highest bidder. All money received for
the skins was returned to the trappers

TO AVOID POULTRY DISEASES,
Health OF Fowls Depends Almost
Entirely Upon Clean Quarters
and Right Feed.

Many people who raise poultry
spend money for remedies for all
ments In their flock which they could
prevent If they would realize that the
health of poultry depends almost en-
tirely upon clean quarters and proper
feeding.
Few poultry diseases are caused
by anything but lack Of precaution.
A leaky roof causes damp litter. Lack
of litter under roosts causes a damp
and foul house under good roof.
Cracks In the floor or sides mean
drafts. Lack of clean scratch litter
means lack Of exercise and reduced
vigor
Lack of balanced rations means a
tendency towards digestive troubles.
No grit helps to keep feed from be-
ing properly digested. Too tight quar-
ters cause them TO become damp,
foul-smelling and unhealthful. Lack
of ventilation causes poultry to lose
In vitality. Colds are caused by dusty
houses and exposure to moisture and
cold.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
The marketing season for guinea
fowl Is during the latter part of sum-
mer, and throughout the fall. At this
time the demand In the city markets
is for young birds weighing from one
to two pounds each. At about two and
one-half months old guineas weigh
from one to one and one-half pounds,
and at this size they begin reaching
the markets In August AS the season
advances the demand Is for heavier
birds.
The usual practice In marketing
game birds is to place them on the
market unplucked, and in. most mar
kets guineas are sold this way. They
appear more attractive with feathers
on, and sell more readily. Dressed, the
small size and dark color of the skin
are likely to prejudice the prospective
customer who may be unfamiliar with
the birds excellent eating qualities.

ever, guineas should be dressed In the
same way as common fowl. Better ask
the dealer, before shipping, whether he
wants the feathers on or off.
The Department Of Agriculture has
learned that If the feathers are to be

them by severing the principal blood
vessels of the neck, allowing them to
hang head downward until bleeding Is
complete.
If the feathers are to be removed, it
should be done by dry picking. When
the brain Is pierced after severing the
blood vessels in the neck the feathers
are loosened by a convulsive move
ment of the muscles and can be re-
moved easily.

1t, not He. The clouds that obscure
the sun do not come from the sun.

This attitude explains all else. His
grace Is His kindness to the unde-
serving. Grace is not a frame of mind
or state Of soul, but the attitude of
God. by grace are We saved" and
over and over again, because we are
so slow to believe 1t and because He
desires we should do so, comes the
salutation: "Grace be unto you"
But not only In His attitude but
In His activities on our behalf do we
see how all His heart is occupied for
us.
/. Jehovah keep thee. This is our
assurance and our security that He
who is gracious keeps us for His own.

hovah Is thy keeper" says the Psalm
list, and they are safe indeed whom
He keeps. But not alone as His own
possession. He will keep that life
