PROPER TIME FOR TMPPW6 Denizens of Forests and 8treams Outwitted While King Winter Spreads White Mantle Over Greater Part of Nation.* Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) Winter brings out the best fur on animals and at the same time gives the farmer and his bbys Idle days and the test for following a line of traps, say specialists of the biological survey, United States Department of Agriculture. It is the season when the rural hyeller In nearly any part of the United States can harvest a crop to which le has devoted no other labor. Trapping Looks Easy. Wild-animal trapping looks easy to nost farm boys until they have tried ind failed. Success demands knowledge of the animals and their habits, rhe red fox, for instance, must be ;aught by wiies as cunning as his own. rrnps and the ground where they are ?et mut be free from human scents. Steel traps are cleaned by boiling with pungent twigs or by burythg or leaving n running water for a day or two, after which they should be handled only with leather or waxed cotton gloves. Breeding grounds, hunting grounds aud peculiar hubits of the animals should >e well studied beforehand. Traps are lometlmes set in springs that do not fenerally freeze over. A little island s built up some time before the trap s set. A No. 2 or No. 3 steel trap Is mbedded in the soil with a piece of noss covering the pan. A bit of taint?d meat, preferably game, is used for t>alt. In making a lnnd set, a shallow hole s made to conceal the trap and the stake and chuln which hold it. The ;arth removed should be placed on u :loth, and all that is not used should )e carried away. The trap is covered with dry earth, free from anything which would clog the Jaws. Foxes often follow paths or trails. ind,< taking advantage of these, the I ? t XV- rI Traps Earn Spending Money for Many Country Boys. trap may be set where the fox In stepping over a log naturally would place Pis foot. Muskrnts live In ponds, streams and uarahes, and may be detected either py their houses of mud and weeds or ly holes In inud banks. They may be caught In No. 1 steel traps set In the unways which they make through the iveeds. A piece of carrot, parsnip or iweet upple, suspended over the trap, forms an effective bait. Minks are caught In No. 1 steel Taps set In holes In the hanks of small dreams or In driftwood, with a chlck?n or rahblt head, a fish, or a piece of uuskrat meat placed beyond the trap. Skunks are usually trapped with No. L or No. 2 steel traps set unhnlted at the entrance of their dens. Care should >e taken to fasten the chain so that :he skunk cannot get back Into his fiole. Tbe^ also may he caught In box :raps and drowned without being removed. A trapped skunk may be approached slowly and killed without dlsigreeable consequences by striking It i sharp blow across the back with a stick. Raccoons are canight In No. 2 or No. J steel traps set at the entrance to their holes and baited with meat. They also may be caught In traps set slightly under water close to the bank of a dream, with nothing more than a small mirror or piece of bright tin Taatened on the pan to attract their curiosity. Rabbits are easily captured In box traps or snares. 8kinning the Catch. Fox skins should be' stripped off whole like a glove, and stretched fur side out. Mink and weasel skins are stripped In the same manner and "cased"; fur side In. This Is also the beat method with skunk skins. Raccoon and muskrat skins are dried flit, fastened to a board. Care should always be taken to cut the skin as little as possible In getting It off. AH flesh and fat should be removed and the skin stretched as tightly as possible.

"Good-by, Boll Weevil." is the title of an entertaining and Instructive two-reel fllm just released by the United States Department of Agriculture. Mr. Boll Weevil, destroyer of American erona to th? nrtont Af mnnv I million dollars a year, Is the "heavy" villain. He appears several tlmee Individually In the course of this lively production, but the principal part Is devoted to the activities of the hero of the sketch, Mr. Calcium Arsenate, who Is aided and abetted by the department In his efforts to bring about Larva of Weevil In Boll of Cotton. Mr. Weevil's overthrow. "Cnl" descends upon Mr. Weevil from a battery of horse-drawn machines, of which 40 are shown In one spectacular scene taken In early summer. Work Is shown in the department's laboratories at Tullulnh. La., and In Wash Ingtou, D. C., where the methods which snve cotton planters $20,000,000 or more annually were devised. One interesting feature Is the laboratory work by which bogus weevil exterminators are detected. The second part of the fljpu, taken In the fall, shows thousands of acres of snowy cotton fields with pickers gathering the snowy bolls. Two or three contrasts are shown between- fields where calcium arsenate dust has been applied and adjoining rows which were neglected. From actual experience the suvlng to one 5,000-aere planter Is given at more than $04 an acre. The film Is designed primarily for demonstration work In the South, and Is one of about 000 films covering more than 100 subjects showing different phases of the work of the department. Copies of the film may be bought from the department by Institutions and organizations Interested In boll weevil extermination. Its use Is suggested for atute agricultural colleges, boards of commerce, etc. FARM EQUIPMENT ESSENTIAL Successful Management1 of Crops Depends Greatly Upon' Efficiency of Implements. The successful' uuwifgfniehf Of n modern farm largely depends upon the efficiency of the equipment with which the work Is performed, specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture point out. The equipment of the average farm can be divided Into about three more or less distinct classes, as foltows: First and most Important, nre the buildings, fences, Implements, machinery. wagons and all appliances used In the more Important farming opera tlons; second, utensils and machinery used In connection with the dairy, garden tools, butchering outfit, and the numerous small things for general use about the place; third, the tools, materials, and facilities for keeping the first two classes of equipment In good working order. In order to secure the greatest efficiency, all Implements and muchlnery should be properly housed when not In actual service, so as to be In good working condition when required for use.

Doctors have found by experience ! that no medicine for colds and infin- j enza can be depended npon for full ef- ! fcctlveness until the liver is made thor- < oughly active. That la why the first step in tho treatment is the new, nausealess colomel tablets called Calotabs, which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calomel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go a long way towards preventing influenza and is ono of the most important factors in enabling the patient to successfully withstand an attack and ward off pneumonia. One Calotab on the tongue at bed time with a swallow of water?that's all. No r'alts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with your eatintr. uloas ure or work. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified, and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for break- | fast. Druggists sell Calotabs pnly in original soalcd packages, price thirty- J five cents. Your motor will be cheer- ! fully refunded if yoa do not find them delightful.?(Adv.) I Mvenssssvevwri LADIES!
