Rkunks, muskrats, minks and foxes

In the United States, but experiments
are being conducted In co-operation
with the National Zoological park with
a view to determining the most sue

WAKE COASTER FOR WINTER
Boy Who Is Handy With Toola May
Derive Much Pleaaura In Build
ing Hlmeelf a "Skipjack."
Tba boy who Is handy with tools
and fond of possessing an article ol
amusement quite out of the ordinary,
will enjoy making a "skipjack." Tba
skipjack la vary easily mads and It
furnlabaa no and of fun to tboaa who
like coasting. It takea the place of
the sled.
and you will get a fair Idea of how
the skipjack la made. For the run
ner, you will need a stout barrel stave,
free from knota or cracks. In order
that thla may pasa quickly and
smoothly over the snow It must movs
with the grain of the wood and not
against It When you have determined
by which It ts to be the front runner,
fasten the upright piece to support
the seat about one third of the dis
tance from the rear.
The wood of this upright should
measure two Inches by four Inches
around and should bo about IS Jnches
high. A short piece to brace It ahould
bo fastened both front and back. A
board about 18 inches long and six
inches wide will complete the seat
The skipjack Is then resdy for use.
Let the first trial be over a short
slope. Seat yourself firmly, lift both
feet from the ground, and you go whlx
xlng along at a great speed. Only a
slight movement of the body Is need
ed to keep the runner In the track.
SOME OLD CUSTOMS KEPT UP

Scramble for Psnnlss.
The annual custom of horn danc
ing, aald to date from the time of
the Drulda, was observed a few daya
ago at Abbots Hromley. Staffordshire,
the London Mall reporta. Villagers
paraded the parish decked In fantas
tio robes. Some carried reindeer
antlers, one rode a hobby horse and
others played accordions and trian
gles. The principal residences In the
district were visitors.
The mayor of old Yorkshire borough
of Richmond presented a bottle of
wine to Arthur Edward Bayer of
Harlsy Hill, Scotten, the farmer
bringing the first boll of newly
thrashed wheat Into Richmond mar
ket recently. The custom, an ancient
one. was revived by William Ness
Walker some years ago when he was
mayor.
Maintaining a custom dating back
to the thirteenth century, the mayor,
corporation and town officials of
Tiverton went through the formality
of proclaiming the people'e r!nht to
the town leat, a atream of water. The
seven miles' course of the stream was
followed, the procession being headed
by a number of men armed with
picks, shovels, saws, hammers and
crowbara with which to remove any
obstruction which might b found in
the stream. The bnlllff proclaimed
the people's rights to the leat. and
then there was the customary scram
ble for new pennies and buns.

about 40 bushels or air slocked lima

make two buabela; 20 bushels of fresh

Tha field ahould ba run over with a
aharp Iron-tooth harrow, and about ten
pounds of a mixture of timothy, red
top and blue grass sown to the acre.
In the spring sow two pounds of red
clover, one pound of white clover, and
one pound of slslta cloverseed to the
acre. Tba clover and grasa will make

Ground limestone ts now quite large

It may be drilled In with the seed In
any quantity. Ground ltmestona baa

not as effective as burnt lime. It Is
now recommended for light lands and
for land that Is to be sown In alfalfa.

Alfalfa Worka Deep. i
Gasoline and oil help us to plow
deep, but there aro depths far beyond
their reach needed by the plant roote. i
Just think of the alfalfa. It works
for you all the time, day and night. ;
through a long growing aeason, and
the while pays a good rent for the ,
land. Alfalfa buras no oil, needs no ;
harness, oats or driver: once started
It continues its work till you plow It;
up, and gives you a field filled wltb
nitrogen and humus piped far deeper
for any other crop roota than you
could possibly accomplish with great ,
cost These things are worth consld- j
erlng before the alfalfa field Is plow-j
ed up to make way for other cropa j
which call for lota of work and ex-,
pense. I
Hauling Manure. i
The fall Is a good time to top dress
! the land. Well rotted manure can be j
spread on at the rate of eight or ten
tons per acre. It should be thorough- j
ly Intermixed with the soli so as to I
Insure a quick decay. The organic
: matter aids In Improving the physical
condition of tho soil and at the same
time adds valuable plant food. Ma
nure also helps the light and sandy 1
soils. A top dressing will prevent the
soil from blowing In the spring. It
will Increase the moisture-holding
power and will materially assist In
Increasing the producing power. 1

CUTTING DOWN THE FLESH

that the good Lord Intended soma of

them did me any good. Then I deter

All my life I ha.! been a lover of
good eating, and counted that day

my dinner the better part of a alrloin
steak aa thick as a darky's foot, with
all the trimmings. For breakfast I
usually destroyed a platter of cakes,
three eggs and no end of thln-sllced
bacon, besides fruits and two cupa of
coffee.
This lifelong system I abandoned
for an entire month, cutting out all
the meat and about all the vegetables,
a piece of toast and glass of milk tak

and a little rice being the chief Item
on the meager dinner bill of fare.
Lunch I omitted wholly. In addition
I walked at least six miles every day
and did all aorta of atunts in my room

going to bed I perpetrated all sorts
of muscular contortions and rolled
on the floor till my body was bruised.
At the end of thirty days I felt fit

The different humming or buxxlng

wings about 335 times a second and
he honeybee 400 times, though a

ly and makes a different sound from
a fresh one. The butterfly Is content
