TW TRAPPER.
y .ihe Curious Ccon and How to Trap
w Him,
The 'big fur houses are always ad-
vertising that they want good coon
pelts and will pay good prices for
them. Every year boys make good
pocket money trappi,ig for this mem-
ber of the animal kingdom, and if
you are a novice at the game, here are
a few suggestions about coons and
coon trapping: -
Coons live either in hollow trees or
in holes, when no trees can be found.
They are frequently found in corn-
fields, too. They are possessed of great
curiosity that often leads them into
traps;' for. instance, a shiny piece of
tin, a bright piece of glass, or a piece
of white crockery frequently acts as a
fascinating lure. Many trappers use
these to bait traps set in shallow
water of streams that the coons fol.
m w.
When you find a coon in a tree you
may either shoot him or trap him.
The way to trap hini is to. place your
trap on a sturdy sapling, cover it with
moss or leaves, then place the sapling
against the tree, If there are a num-
ber of coons in a hollow tree a good
smoker will get them out where they
can be shot.
Along streams, any hollow log,
hollow stump, old boulder with a hole
in it makes a good place to set your
coon trap.
Coons like to eat fish, clams, craw-
fish, birds, eggs, poultry, fn its and
vegetables. They are particularly
fond of grapes and corn and are some-
times caught in great numbers in
cornfields and vineyards. If you plan.
to make your sets in either of these
places, go along the fences until you
find coon tracks that show where the
coons go through the fence. There
set your traps. Cover them over with
dirt. Sprinkle fish scent around.
Along stream beds that have high
banks and shallow water it is a good
plan to dig a number 'of holes into
the banks at the water edge. They
should be from six 'to eight inches
deep. In the back of the holes fi3.sten
a eilece of bait. In front of 'thein,
under water, set your trap.
Remember that plenty -Of exercise

R. F.: If the mirror is spottel or
blurred over the entire surface, re -
silvering will be necessary. If the
defects occur only in spots, there are
several ways in which you can .irn-
prove its appearance. Take out the
wooden back, dust and wipe off the
silvered side quickly and carefully
with a cloth wrung out of hat. water.
Dry quickly and thoroughly by pat-
ting with soft, hot towels. If there
are scratches, paint then{ over with
silver paint, which can be purchased
wherever artists' material's are sold;
or back the scratches with tinfoil.
Blurs or spots should be marked with
a clean outline, the space moistened
wiith alcohol, then scraped, wiped
clean and painted with silver paint or
backed with tinfoil. Cut the tinfoil
somewhat larger than the space that
is to be repaired and fasten it at the
corners or edges with white glue.
Thrifty Ways: Please give direc-
tions for making .a rug out of small
pieces of Brussels carpet.
Cut the carpet into strips three
inches in width, then ravel, rejecting
the linen foundation threads and sav-
ing those of criml3ed woolen yarn.
The woolen threads, ;should be of uni-
form length. With a pair of the
largest size steel knitting -needles (or
a similar size in wood or celluloid)
and a ball cotton carpet yarn, cast
on ten stitches and knit two rows for
the beginning. In the next 'row, lay
a thread of the wool across the
needles, with every other sti'tc'h. After
knitting the stitch, take the end of
wool which shows upon the wrong
side, and turn it toward the right
side, knitting a stitch to secure ;it.
Then put in another thread of wool
and repeat the process. The back of
the strips will have an appearance
somewhat like that of body Brussels
carpet, hile the front will resemble
thick, long -napped plush. Make strips
the desired length and when all aro
finished they must be sewed together
on the wrong side. It is only for
convenience that they are knitted in
strips—the rug, as a whole, would be
very cumbersome and unwieldy to
handle.
High School 'Girl: Following is a
description of an autumn party which
contains ideas that you might use to
advantage in planning your evening's
fun.
A "Red Ear Party" is what they
called it in the invitations. It was
the opening part ty of the year in the
high school and the seniors planned it.
The cards of invitation they sent
out said:
At this time o' year
You'll recall the reel ear
(It never will go out, o' date),
So the members of "twenty"
Have planned fun aplenty ,
At a regular Harvest Horne Fete.
You're invited!
The school hall was delightfully,
decorated, with emphasis on the
autumn colors. Bright, tawny leaves
banked the platform where the
orchestra sat, and the globes` of scar-
let end orange balloons flamed among
the soft tans and cornstalks stacked
along the sicle walls. Depending from
the ceiling and hanging in the win-
dows myriads of gay red and orange
paper " lanterns swayed brilliantly.
The dance programs were "red
ears" cut from cardboard, and tiny
x'cd pencils dangled from them. Some
of the names of the dances seemed to
pique people's curiosity, such, for in-
stance as: The Cor'netalk; the Scare-
. , , „
crone Skitter; I'aimerctte�,.' Taney;
Popcorn Waltz; Orchard One-step;'
Puhiplein Pie Walk; Red Far Danes;
iirg one-step olid the others following'
snit..
Then followed the "Scarecrow Skit-
ter," A dilapidated old cecnfield: char -1
acter, in all his crudity of flapping
black, was brought in and. established
in the centre of the floor. In the band
of his shabby hat fluttered a handful
of, rusty crow feathers, and the fea-:
tore of the dance was for each boy tot
secure one of these, in. passing, for his
partner. The poor old fellow was
nearly torn to hits in the process.
"Farmerettes' Fancy" was- another
name for "Ladies' Choice." 441 the
girls were given tiny toy rakes, hoes,
spades, and other farm implements,
which they used as favors in choosing
partner's.
For the "Popcorn Waltz" the favors
were popcorn chains for the boys to -
hang around their partners' necks,
There was a temptation to devour
these adornments as well as to use
then for decorative purposes, and so'
they were a source of much fun. The
orchestra at intervals in this dance
made use of some contrivance which
t sounded like corn popping briskly
over the fire. A shower of snowy
white confetti from the\balcony still
further emphasized the popcorn idea:
In the "Orchard One-step the boys
were invited to pick peaches. The
girls stood behind a high screen and
thrust their right hands above it. The
boys reached up, touched the "peach"
they chose, and thereupon the girl
thus designated one -stepped aayay with
her. partner.
Instead of a cake walls, a "Pumpkin
Pie Walk" was announced. The con-
testants could indulge in just as crazy,
funny, or pretty dance steps as they
liked. The reward to the cleverest
and most amusing couple was a big
pumpkin pie.
In the "Red Ear Dance" the girls
were blindfolded, and asked to pick
an ear of corn from a big basket.
When vision was restored the girl
holding the one red ear was acclaimed
Queen of the Carnival, and was pres-
ented with a bouquet of reds roses.
During the dance a red glow from the
lighting arrangements flooded the
hall.
The "Harvest Honkie Dance" was the
supper dance. Paper costume caps
suggesting fruit and vegetables were
given out, and worn so that the whole
room seemed to be filled with a har-
vest medley. Tbmato, carrot, corn,
apple, wheat, squash, grapes, popcorn•,
watermelon, and blackberry were all
represented.
The supper dance ,occurred, of
course, midway in. the evening. The
other novelty dances were interspers-
ed each side of it throughout the
evening.
The supper consisted merely of
peach ice cream served on grapeleaf
doilies, nut macaroon:, tiny pumpkin
pies, and fruit punch.

Solving'. the Father=and=San
Partner$hip Problem
When I returned froze 'agricultural
college I took charge of Father's
farm. I was the only boy in the
family, and Father was at the age
when he wished to be relieved of all
,active and strenuous duties,
Consequently, the major part of the
management and operation fell on tie.
So far as capital and labor situation
was concerned, ours was just the same
as that of, the manufacturer and his
employee. We were in the production
game just as much as the manufac-
turer. The inherent friction that
seems to exist between these two ele-
ments of modern economic activity
was in our relationship doubtless ,as
much as in any, Yet in our case labor
never suffered a lay-off, nor did capi-
tal ever sur a labor strike. How we
m paged it I shall try to explains
In the first »lace, Father must be
credited with having seen what it has.
taken a lot of manufacturers a long
time to see, or at least to admit—
namely, that labor is rkiite as essential
an element to production as is capital,
and just as much entitled to a share
of the profits of production. Some
fathers, like some manufacturers,
have apparently been slow to recog-
nize till/ fact.
For example, I was ambitious and
enterprising and wanted to make
some extra money when T was a boy.
As Father hoc.. a fair-sized family the
shoe repair bill was very considerable.
In view of these facts, I conceived
the ideaof purchasing a cobbling our -
'fit ,,or a few dollars and doing the re-
pairing myself. Father might just as
well pay the money to me as to an-
other, and at the same time if would
permit me to make a little extra
money for rltyseif. Father agreed to
shy proposal, and in a short time I had
paid for the repair outfit and had.
made eozisiiderable money besides.
Hearing of what I had acconiplis'h-
ed, another bay made -the same pro-
position to his tither. Instead of
agreeing to it, however, the farmer
purchased an outfit himself, and then
made the bay, who was one of the
oldest children of a large family, do
the repairing wit»out compensation.
It is not remarkable that in a few
years this particular "laborer" de-
clared a ",strike" and went off to the
city for another job.
Father understood another point
that many farmers overlook; he knew
that the income from farming was
always less to a single man than to
a harried man with a family, while
in the city it is just the opposite. For
instance, ,in the city the single man
would pay rent possibly for only a
single room, while the man v.ith the
family would require many. Also, the'
married man would have a heavier
food and fuel bill. So, on the same
income, the single man fares better
in the city than the n.:n glect man. But
on the -farm the factors of rent, food,
and fuel are largely included in the
total income. As the value of these are
more to a man with a family than to
a single man, theyman with a family
fares better on the farm than the
single man. Knowing this fact,
Father always sot'ght to make my in-
come as a single man on the farm
equal to what I could''make in the
city.
Father did not donate me things or
make it especially easy for pie; he
simply dealt wcith me on a fair and
square basis. On my part, I helped
to increase my share of the profit as
the "labor" by increasing the profit
that went to "capital."—P. C. S.
INTERNATIONAL LESSON
OCTOBER 19.
Jesus In Peter's Home—Mark 1: 29-
39. Golden Text, Luke 19: 9.
"Simon's wife's mother." There is
another reference to Peter's wife in
1 Cor. 9: 5. Her mother was evidently
a beloved and kindly member of the
family. Her first act when elle was
healed of the fever, was to minister to
her daughter's guests. Luke (4: 38)
calls her sickness "a great fever."
There was much marshy land in that
region, especially where the river
Jordan enters the lake, and malarial
fever was common. No doubt the
healing ministry of Jesus entered
many another home besides that of
Peter. He is still the great Physician,
teaching by His spirit, care and
thought for all who suffer, and
prompting the gentle ministry of doc-
tor and nurse in the homes and hospi-
tals of our land.
"At even." When the sun set, ac-
cording to their way of reckoning
time, the Sabbath day was over. It
was then lawful for them to carry
their sick through the streets and
bring them to the door of the house
in which Jesus was staying. "He
healed many." Such was the scene at
the close of this busy day. The people
lingered until darkness drove them to
their hones.
"0, with what divers pains they met,
0, with what joy they went away!"
Many forms of sickness in the East
to the present day, are regarded as
caused by the presence of evil spirits,
and especially insanity and epilepsy
Jesus was profoundly interested in
these poet' sufferers, and restored
Many of then'{' to sanity and health
both of body and mind. Our mission-
aries in the East follow the example
of Jesus, and they find through atten-
tion to the sick and through the
agency of hsspitals and diopensarles
an open door to the hearts of the peo-
ple. Their ministry, like His, is • in
preaching, teaching, and healing.
"In the morning." Although the
Sabbath had been. a busy day, and its
activities prolonged until after sun-
set, yet Jesus was awake in the early
morning, and seeking a quiet place of
retirement for His morning prayer to
God. Here, as always, He is an ex-
ample to His disciples, showing the
belt way of beginning the day'J work ,

order to lay in these seasons, fowls'•
must have changed their plumage and
fully recovered from doing so before
the cold weather sets in. Those which
molt in cold weather have not suffi-
cient protection from the cold and
suffer accordingly. Many, authorities
claim, probably with good reason, that
the late molter is the best layer of the
preceding year. This is probably true,
but if a hen molts so late that she
cannot recover until cold weather sets
in she is not likely to be a good layer
until late winter when the price of
eggs begins to go down.

to make him strong enough to stand
full ration.
As soon as pigs have been put into
the fattening pens in the fall they
should be fed all that they will eat
with a relish, for the shorter the fat-
tening period the Iarger the profits.
Lean, lank hogs and poor fences will
discourage the average man who goes
into hog -raising.
Keep the dog from chasing the pigs.
He may tear their hams or chew their,
ears, and is sure to lose you money.
If pigs get into the garden or grow-
ing crops, don't try to keep them out
by punishing them with the dog, but
stop the cracks in the fence.
Fall Dairy Observations.
Before allowing the cows to begin
on the accumulation of the season's
crops, why not know if they are the
kind of cows that can pay their board.
Many farmers lose money in the dairy
business by spending most of the y eaxt
in growing feed to be used for a herd
that is not producing a paying amount
of milk.
But be sure that there is nothing
wrong with the method of housing and
feeding the cows before they are dis-
carded as boarders that do not pay
their bills. Much depends on the
owner of the cows and sometimes
gaud cows produce much less than
they should because they are given
poor care.
Cows are often considered machines'
which can be stuffed with raw ma-
terials without limit and then produce
a finished product to which there is
also no limit. This is not exactly
right. A machine is without life and
feeling but a cow is an animal with
a highly clevelopecl nervous tempera-,
meat that responds or fails to respond'
according to the treatment received.
That ist*hy some farmers do so much
better with caws than other. farmers.1
The successful breeders study their'
cores as individuals and try to keep
them contented and satisfied and free
from abuse. They know that there is 1
more to starry management than
"stuffing the machine,"
Shouting around the stables will dis- I
turh ears and reduce tho flow of milk.
A dog filet is not well trained will
bring the cattle to the barn on the
rim or worry there all the way from
the field. This is not good fen raid
production. During; the fly ceasnn

"Beres my idea of
a razor'
one Mae siiarpens pts own Haden".
"Why, I remember
when I used to have to
throw away a blade
after a couple of shaves.
Now, 1 s'.t nply take it
and give a few turns on
the strop and it's as
good as ever.
"i tin shave in three minutes,
and rssy face is as aninoth and
slick and r:o zifortable as when
the head barber used to go
over it. To clean, I simply
pari the blade Racier the tap
and wipe it of.There's no
tal:iag the razor to pieces and
:messing arotn.:d with parts.
En fact, the what «hing is se
simple and, easy, I wisl.1 had
had cut long ago."
