He says that the key to the prob
lem is to keep records of perform
ance. Records need not be hard to
keep. Service dates are easily handled
under most conditions. Birth weights
may be obtained with ordinary scales
or a tape may be used on calves and
cattle.
WEAVING weights will show some
thing of the dams milking and
mothering ability. Rates of gain may
be easily figured by diYj!i1E he
number of pounds gained by tie npas-
Der of days in the feeding period. For
pigs this means that each one must
have a separate number, Indicated by
ear notching. Ear tags, paint brands
or neck chains will do for sheep or
cattle.
Feed requirements are the hardest
to get because it means individual on
litter feeding, but fortunately, in
many cases, the animals making the
more rapid gains are the most eco
nomical.

Production Costs
May Be Reduced

Maryland farmers may be paying
twice as much as is necessary to raise
some Of the animals on their farms.
This is possible because repeated
tests have shown that some animals
and some strains Of animals cost from
% TO so percent more to produce than
others.
Two factors affecting the cost Of
production for swine. beef animals,
and sheep are rate of gain and quality
of the animal when it reaches market
age. Three other factors affect the
cost Of producing swine. They are o.
number Of live pigs falrowcd per lit
ter, C2) number Of pigs surviving, and
CD feed requirements.
For beef animals, regularity Of re-
production and feed costs must also
be considered For sheep, other factors
are (1) regularity Of reproduction,
(2) number of lambs per eve, CD
number of lambs raised, and (D the
amount and quality of wool.
Improvement Possible
All of these profit-determining
factors may be controlled by the farm

and put them in a little hole on a
piece Of rising ground. Fix it so the
fox has to come in front of the hole
to get the cracklings. You put your
trap in front of the hole-and may
be you have got a fox!
"Yes, there are other ways Of batting.
Hang a dead chicken over trap and
you are not likely to have fox. A
fox knows dead chickens don't hang
themselves to trees. Still-they have
been caught that way. l suppose
there are some foolish foxes, just as
some people are foolish.

the fox tries to work his way out. l
tie them to Timber bushes, so that
when the fox jerks, the bush bends
over and eases the pull like a spring"

the stove. There hangs long-bar-

horn and "ball' bag suspended from
it.

me. I've found many bobcat (bob
tailed wildcat) in the traps, but you
don't see many of those nowadays.
And sometimes l have found hunt
ers' dogs in the traps. That was bad"
Although Mr.. burst says he is not
as active as he used to be, he still
walks the woods with a steady, strong
step, carrying his gun over his should
er and handful of traps. At inter
walls he comes to sudden standstill
and peers into the brush, when he
thinks he detects a movement. Or,
pausing to talk, he squats down on
his launches, woodsman fashion, gun
Graded between his thigh and stom-
ach.
While Mr.. burst is still linked with
the old-fashioned Maryland woods
man, Mr.. Beal is a representative of
the modern trapper. He catches foxes
scientifically, the way the experts in
the laboratories have worked it out.
They have used all the basic knowl-
edge that Mr. burst learned first
hand from the foxes and have fig
ured out how the sly old fox could
fool himself.
Foxes, like dogs" Mr.. Beal says,
'instinctiyely sniff where others of
their kind have been. And fox scent
is the strongest attraction for them.
Fox farms sell it at So a bottle to
trappers. If you want to get d
treated type, it will cost you 81 an
ounce.
Nov when we use this lure we
don't have to set our traps right on
a fcx's crossing We can set them in a
nice secluded stretch OF ground, may
be half a mile away from the cross
ing, if we want to. Then we sprinkle
q few drops Of the lure in spot so
the fox will have to walk over the
trap to sniff it.
"The lure draws him away from
the crossing. Maybe he thinks it's a
little funny, so far from the crossing
But it is the fox smell. And that is
enough for any fox. He can't resist
it. That big one l caught on Nebo
Mountain the other day was trapped
by the lure.
Naturally, we sometimes use bait
along with the lure. The idea is to
make fox feel comfortable and at
home on the spot where you are GO
ing to catch him. SO | find a likely

place and bury cat meat in a dozen
different holes and sprinkle a little
lure over all. But set no traps right
away.
"They smell the meat and the lure
and come sinking toward it in the
night. They like to steal each others
food just like dogs. So they dig and
think they are putting something
over on another fox. Well, after sew
eral nights Of eating and smelling,
suarling and yapping at one another
they feel at home. Then i put out the
traps. II luck is with me, maybe I'll
get couple"
Mr.. Beal insists there is a vast diff
ference between a fox that is
trapped" and one that is caught.
And the foxes seem to know too, but
there's many slip 'twiXt the trap
and the snip of the furrier's scissors.
"a caught fox is a dead fox" Mr.
Beal defines. $50 if you are wise
trapper you will approach trapped
fox sort of innocent like, just as
though you were out for walk and
didn't see anything special. He thinks
you don't see him and he hugs the
ground; his sharp eyes follow every
move you make. You look at him out
of the corner Of your eye, but you
never look him in the eye.
You sort of work over closer and
closer to him, and when YOU are with
in fairly easy reach of him and he
thinks you are just passing by, you
turn on him with your stick. Then
you've got him.
"You hold his fangs away from you
with the stick, then kill him.
"What would happen if you went
straight at him, looking him in the
eye? Why, he would forget all about
tricks. He would start jumping and
barking like something gone crazy.
His idea is to pull out of that trap by
main force. Too often he will do it,
too"
Mr.. Beal, too, has been trapping
since he was a youngster. He began
it around Mount Savage, in Allegany
county, where he was born. In the past
six years or so he has derived a large
portion Of his income from it. In the
vicinity of Accident and on Nebo
Mountain he is a familiar figure,
tramping through woods and fields
with his "fox stick" and trap basket
on his back.
Il wish" he said the other day
after he had bagged the big fox on
Nebo, chat had been born $50 years
ago. Then all this country around here
would be almost uninhabited and it
would be full Of animals that had
never seen q white man. What a lot
Of hunting and trapping that would
mean! Why, I'd live in the woods
right with the animals. And maybe
I'd have a fur hat, like DAME!
Boone"
Mr. Beal enjoys telling of his Prov
ess as a trapper. "One time, over on
Bundle Bee Ridge, a turkey farmer
lost about 100 birds in a couple Of
nights The foxes were running him.
Dead turkeys were all over the place,
just where the foxes caught and
killed them. He agreed to let me try
my hand at it. Well, in couple of
nights I caught eleven foxes in his
yard, and that was the end of his
trouble
"Another time the foxes got into
Simon Opal's fowl, over on Vinegar
road l settled down there to long
siege and in five weeks l caught 40.
And once, a few years ago, l caught
1872 foxes in five weeks. That was
really catching them. 1 guess all of
US trappers around here are thinning
out the fox population a little, be-
cause lately the trapping hasn't been
so good.

Attention of the art world will be
focused on this community when a
rare collection of William H. Sing
er, Jr. landscapes arrives in Hagers-
town early in the new year. The
finest of the Singer paintings, still
in the possession of the famous
painters widow, will be shipped
here from Holland, following a me-
mortal exhibition in that country
next January. These masterpieces
are to hang in the specially designed
Singer Memorial Gallery in the new
south wing of the Washington Coun-
ty Museum of Fine Arts
The Singer paintings are gift of
Mrs. William H. Singer, Jr., to the
citizens of her native Hagerstown
and Washington County.
William H. Singer, Jr., who died
in 1943 at his home in Olden, Nor
way, was a member of the National
Academy of Design, New York City.
His paintings hang in galleries
throughout Europe, including Ans
terdam, the Hague, Antwerp, Brus-
sells, Paris, Munich, Oslo and Cairo,
in the Metropolitan Museum of Arts
in New York and in other museums
in this country.
Born in Pittsburgh, Singer was the
son of wealthy steal magnate,
who envisioned for him an indus
trial career. Although at first the
young Singer followed the profess
sion of his fathers choice, he soon
discovered that he had no taste for
business. All of his leisure hours
he devoted to art-sketching, paint
ing and studying World-renoWned
art collections. When two of his
Icanvases, accepted by the jury for
the Carnegie International EXPOSE
ton in 1900, drew enthusiastic praise
from art critics, he determined to

fathers protracted opposition, young
Singer exchanged the environment
of the steel furnace for the quiet of
a painters life.
Early in his career, he met and
married Anna Spencer Brugh, of
HagerstoWn. The young couple first
settled on the Island of Monhegan,
where Singer painted several of his
pictures. Later, in France
studies at the Academic Julian and
at the atelier of Jean-Paul Laurens
confirmed his conviction that land
scape painting was his meter
Leaving formal training behind him,
he went to Holland, settling in
Laren, where he found temporary
satisfaction in the local scene.
Eventually, however, the monotony
of the lowlands palled on him, and
he journeyed on to Norway, where,
enthralled by the native splendor,
he found a worthy challenge to his
talents in portraying the Norwegian
landscape in all its changing moods
After the death of the Senior
Singer in 1909, the young Singers
built home in Olden, Norway, in
the center of the scenic grandeur
that was his inspiration. He led an
outdoor life, hunting and fishing,
revealing in the cold, the snow, even
the gales from the mountains and
fjords. Here, living apart from the
