MfflE BRINGS
IN MONEY DURING
THE LAX SEASONS
Many Fur-Bearing Animals Still
Live Along the Streams or in
the Hills of Farming Sections.
FURS SELL FOR HIGH PRICES
Farmer's Son Finds Nothing More
Interesiing or Profitable Than
Trip Up River With His Traps.
With the approach of cold weath
er, the thrifty farmer In almost any
section of the country soon can un
dertake Bome form of fur trapping
with profit. A knowledge of the fur
bearing animals found in hia vicin
ity and how to catch them and treat
their pelts reveals a source of Income
often overlooked. For the boy in
the country nothing offers a more
delightful diversion than a trapping
expedition, particularly if it entails
a money reward. Where the farm it
self affords little opportunity for
trapping., an accessible stream or
wooded tract is generally to be found
nearby where fur-bearing animals
can be eaught. While ttie fur re
sources of the country have been di
minishing steadily, prices have been
'rising. The war also has been an
Important factor in this upward
trend.
"WAIT UITTII FTJB IS RIGHT
The person about to engage in pelt
gathering must understand at the outset
the necessity of postponing trapping
until the animala' fur is at its best. The
pelt of a mink, for example, killed in
September, might not be worth more
than 60 cents, whereas if the same ani
mal were killed in November or Decem
ber, Its pelt might bring 10. Speaking
generally, trapping should not begin
until cold weather has set In that Is,
until lato November or December for
most sections of the country. Two prin
cipal exceptions to the rule are the
muskrat and beaver, whose fur is not at
its best until February or March.
In addition to the widely distributed
fur bearing animals mentioned below
each region has many others to lure the
pelt collector. The prices given here are
necessarily only approximations. Each
trapper must bear in mind that the size
and condition of the individual pelt, as
well as other factors, will have much to
do with the sum it will bring.
SKUNK VELT8 VALUABLE
Tl.e skunk, one of the most common
fur bearers, is found in every state oi
ih Tininn. T-aree skunk skins probably
will bring the trapper from $1 to o
this season, while the pelts of the little
potted skunk will bring from 10 to 80
cents. The weaset, of one variety or an
other, is to be found in practically all
motion of the country. Formerly the
brown pelts were considered worthless,
but with the rise In fur prices brown
pelts should net the trapper from 10 to
25 cents each, while the white pelts will
bring from 50 cents to J1.50.
An animal not to be found in large
numbers, but native to regions north,
south, east a'hd west, is the mink. When
In prime condition Its skin, if secured
in the north, should bring from $4 to $8.
while a skin secured in the south Bhould
command 2 to 3. Likewise, the rac
coon living in the north produces a
better pelt than the one living In the
south. Oood raccoon skins are worth
from J1.50 to $3.75 each to the trapper.
FOXES JSTILL TEAPPED
Many persons, partlculary city dwell
ers, may be surprised to learn that many
foxes still are trapped in this country.
Red fox pelts, obtainable in widely dis
tributed areas in the Northern Btates,
should bring from 110 to 130 each this
spason, while the gray fox" found in the
Southern states will bring from J1.E0 to
$3 a pelt.
An example of returns that can be
secured from fur resources long over
looked Is found in the fact that the peo
ple of Oregon netted approximately $50,
000 from mole skins last year, following
trapping demonstrations by represent
atives of the biological survey of the
United States department of agricul
ture. The demonstrators showed that
while millions of European mole skins
were, used by fur manufacturers in
America before the war, the skins of
some American moles, especially the
large, common variety of Western Wsh-

Many farmers jn Northwest trap fur
ington and Oregon, are larger and have
better texture than those from Europe.
Farmers' bulletin 32, published by the
United States department of agricul
ture, describes the best kinds of mole
traps, how to set them, and gives other
Information. The methods discussed are
especially adapted to the Pacific coast
states, but with modifications will apply
to all localities where moles are found.
3IUSKHATS STILL NUMEKOU8
While minks, raccoons and skunks
have become somewhat scarce in certain
localities, muskrats have not diminished
In numbers except In places where the
marshes have been drained. These ani
mals multiply much more rapidly than
many other fur bearers, and because of
their aquatic retreats and their habits,
are better fitted to maintain thejr num
bers under reasonable protection. Musk
rat pelts this season should bring from
75 cents to J2 each. Though the price
of cottontail rabbit skins is low 15 cents
to 35 cents a pound for dry cased skins
this source of income should not be
overlooked by the trapper farmer, as fre
quently a large number of these animals
can be caught in the course of the win
ter. There is frequently a good market
for the rabbit meat, also. Among other
fur bearing animals more or less widely
distributed throughout the country are
opossums, badgers and, for Western re-
Kons coyotes and wolves
If the farmer who temporarily turns
trapper is to realize the best prices for
pelts, he must learn the proper methods
of handling them. Most skins should
be "cased" for the market. A cased Bkin
is one removed from the carcass after
slitting the hind legs but not the belly
oi me animal, inereby leaving a tubular
shaped pelt. The skin is left with the
fur turned In, and dried on a stretcher
made of thin board sharpened to a point,
or of heavy galvanized wire.
The biological survey of the United
State department of agriculture fur
nishes on application information re
garding the trapping of fur bearing ani
mals, laws relating to the subject, and
the preparation of pelts. It also sup
plies inquiries with lists of buyers for
various kinds of pelts.

If the chickens must be confined on
account of bad weather, provide a good
straw litter in which their grain feed
may be scattered. This will give them
exercise and keep them Interested and

TERRACES PREVENT
Department of Agriculture Tells
How to Clear Wooded Tracts
Uneven in Character.
The' farmer who contemplates
clearing a wooded tract which is
more or less uneven in character
should make sure that, if cleared,
it will not suffer from erosion. How
steep a slope of wooded land can
safely be cleared for farming de
pends largely on the character of
the soil. It has often been said that
no slope steeper than 15 degrees
should be cleared and, as a general
rule, this probably holds good.
However, not infrequently slopes of
less than 15 degrees show serious ero
sion under cultivation, while occasion
ally others of 20 degrees and more show
no serious results. The question, there
fore, is one that must be settled for
each locality, or even for each tract.
Usually the farmer who is in doubt can
find in the vicinity a piece of cleared
land similar in Character to his own,
and can Judge his problem by the con
dition of the cleared area. In case of
doubt the safest course Is to leave the
land uncleared, according to the forest
service of the United States department
of agriculture.
Some erosion must be expected on all
sloping land cleared for cultivation, but
where the tract is really suitable for
farming, however, the erosion can be
.educed sufficiently to prevent serious
harm. The general principle to be kept
in mind is to prevent surface run-off,
as far as possible. Water that Is ab
sorbed by the soil not only causes no
erosion but increases the supply of
ground water, diminishes drought, feeds
the streams and maintains a steady flow
in adjoining streams.
One of the most effective methods of
preventing erosion on sloping cultivat
ed land Is terracing, a subject well
worth special investigation by the farm
er who wishes to till sloping tracts and
at the same time keep the good soil on
the upper areas from being washed
down the 'hillsides.
The home curing of pork, says the
United States department of agriculture,
is a good practice and should be more
extensively adopted.

OF BORAX IS KEPT
Agricultural Department Regu
lates Sales of Fertilizer for
Protection of Crops.
The department of Agriculture hat
investigated the damage to crops at
tributed to the use of fertilizer con
taining high borax-potash and has
traced in important instances this
potash to the product of Searles lake.
In order to permit the safe use of
this product in future, the depart
ment has, under authority of the
control act of August 10, 1917, de
cided to place such restrictions on
the use of potash salts containing
borax as will guarantee the use of
an application of not more than two
pounds of anhydrous borax per acre.
In order to effect this measure of
safety, the department has assumed in
structions to the producers of potash
salts at Searles lake and to all brokers,
fertiliser manufacturers and mixers not
to sell potash salts direct to farmers as
straight goods when they contain more
than .5 of 1 per cent of borax, and not
to sell mixed fertilizers containing more
than two pounds of borax per ton un
less the amount of borax contained is
plainly shown upon the container.
This regulation is issued to insure
that in no case shall a fertilizer ap
plication be made by farmers without
their knowledge, which would add more
than two pounds of borax to the acre.
The department feels that such restric
tions will make the use of potash salts
from Searles lake as safe under all con
ditions of agriculture as. is the use of
nitrate of soda, acid phosphate and
other fertilizer constituents.

The Scriptures are equally definite in
affirming the existence of both individ

Of the former we recognize three, the
Holy Trinity, comprising God the Kter

and Savior Jesus -Christ, and God the
Holy Ghost, these three individual per
sonages constituting the presiding -council
'having supreme power and authority

(See Rev. 12:7-9; also Doctrine and

Isa. 14:12-15.)
On the best authority, that of the Lord
Jesus Christ, we learn something of the
character of this fallen son of the morn

the enemy of God and man- In denounc
ing the false beliefs and evil practices of
certain unregenerate Jews, Christ spoke
in these definite and forceful terms :
Ye are of your father the devil, and
the lasts of your father ye will do. He
was a Borderer from the beginning, and
soode not Is the troth, bera.se there Is

I tell yos the truth, ye believe me sot."
(John- 8:44-45.)
A liar and a murderer from the begin

-t " n ? i . at n

On a little truck garden in Canada j
lived Farmer Kokobo. Kokobo's farm
I
waa supposed to be a truck garden, but
the name somehow seemed td have a
perversion of meaning when anyone ap
plied it to the Kokobo place. Kokobo
was the sort who liked to spend all his
time down at the general store, sitting
around the old stove with his corn cob
pip sending forth most fragrant, if
noxious, fumes, the while he chipped
into 'the everyday arguments and con
versations contributed by the town loaf
ers. By the time .this procrastinating
old character got around to his truck
garden, he found that about all he had
there was "truck," and not marketable
truck, either, for no one would ever buy
the sort of sun-burned insect ridden
products which old Kokobo raised and
they didn't have much chance anyhow
because when the laay farmer finally
did get around with his spade and
trowel to dig up a few potatoes or tur
nips or parsnips to take to town in his
rattle-trap, mud-spattered Democrat
wagon, they looked ' so entirely useless
that he always gave up the Idea of even j
troubling to dig them and went to town
without them, while his tools were neg
ligently left injthe garden to rust.
HA8 AIR OF PKOSFEBITT
So one day, while the "unemployed"
of this little Canadian community were
gathered about the red hot stove, fight
ing the world', war, another farmer,
named let's say Dlngbob drove up in
a neat little Ford truck, on the back
of which were several crates of chick
ens and ducks which he was about to
ship to the city market by next express.
Farmer Dingbob surely had an air of
prosperity about him, and not only that,
but he seemed also to have plenty of
leisure, for he often came into the little
town store, treated the boys to a nickel
cigar each and then joined their group
for an afternoon's or evening's conver
sation. The sight of Farmer Dingbob with his
crates of chickens and' ducks piled on
his flivver made quite an impression upon
the lazy mind of Farmer Kokobo, and
in fact, it sent htm Into a surprising
state of cogitation. ' He was also seen 'to
do a little figuring from time to time
on his dirty cuff, as he blew thoughtful
clouds of heavy grey smoke from the
reeking old corncob.
SEES A NEW LIGHT
A few days later, neighbors saw in
Farmer Kokobo's barn yard quite ' a
flock of chickens and ducks. The chick
ens were roosting around on the back
porch rail, peeping in at the kitchen
door and making themselves generally
at home, while the ducks quacked and

chickens flew, ran and hopped to the

He also figured that if the ducks had
bills the sis of the chickens, instead of
eating 10 times more than the chickens,
they could only pick up the same
amount of corn, which would thereby
save him a great deal more profit on
feed. Shrewd Kokobo.
There was never heard such a screech
ing and quacking of distressed ducks as
issued from the Kokobo barn that night.
After several hours of this the neighbors
could stand no more of the sleep-racking
sounds still rending the sUllness of a
country night. As there was s light
burning brightly in the barn, two or
three of,, the irate farmers crept over
grumblingly and peered through the
dtrty panes of glass In the bara window.
There they witnessed a strange sight.
For, seated on an upturned barrel,
chuckling villainously to himself, while
he held a squirming duck between his
crooked knees, sat old Kokobo, waving
a rusty steel file in the air and pointing
it menacingly every few seconds at the
poor duck's startled eyes, as a Comanche
Indian might wield his tomahawk.
But stranger still, even than this
queer picture of Kokobo, was the sight
of the remainder of his flock of duts
as they bobbed around on the barn
floor. Each one seemed to be making a
great attempt to paw at his bill with his
webbed foot, but on account of his short
little legs, it was extremely difficult
to reach this troubling feature ef his
duck-physiognomy. No wonder he
pawed, poor bird, for Kokobo had filed
each one of his duck's bills down to the
sise of a chicken's, and he was now
laughing lustily as he rounded off the
offensive grub-grabber of the last flab
bergasted duck. He had solved the
