1 r qF=gF J FARM AND GARDEN j fe EXCELLENT TRAP FOR MINK I Illustration Shows One Also Found Z Efficacious for Raccoons, Opossums, Skunks and Muskrats. (By J. W. GRIFFIN.) A limb of sound wood, with a hoi- , low two to three inches in diameter, with horseshoe nails driven as shown in the sketch, makes a good trap for minks, raccoons, opossums, skunks ! and muskrats ’ The bait should be about six inches t beyond the point of the nails, therefore, if the hollow runs the full length of the piece, it should be plugged ui at one end. Drive a staple in the limb and wire it to a stake or small tree. You may carry it with the animal alive to hole of water and drown it; i to release the nnimnl, draw the nails The nails should be very sharp and should form a circle with • • ' 'olnts about one and one ball u tics it diameter for mink. This makes an ideal trap t'oi coons I —when the bole is smaller —tor the I 1 Good Mink Trap. , coon thrusts its claws into small holes and under chunks and rocks, ir search of food. Baits for fur animals: birds, mice , raw beef, pieces of rabbit or muskrat j Leavo everything around the tra, in as natural position as possible. Do not go near the trap when once ; set, any more than you can help, as , the animal s sense of smell is very j keen. NEW SILO GAINS POPULARITY 1 Material From Which These Huge Tanks Are Built Herd Burned, Hollow Clay B. ding Blocks. (By A. G LITTEL.) A new type of silo that is gating favorable mention in many parts of the country w here it has been tried out Is the tile built style of which the , ’ “Iowa” silo is a good representative. The material from which these silos ’ are built is a hard burned, hollow claybuilding block, an the building as well as users are claiming a list of adI vantages for them over other types. One of the chief advantages, they say, is that it retains moisture better than most of the other kinds, and this Is one of the fundamental principles in I preserving silage. The silo wall must ' be as nonporous as It ia possible tn I make it. Steel re-enforcement Is laid . in the mortar joints, thus making this plan of n’lo resist all outward pressI ure from the silage inside, and per forming the same service that hoops 'ldo on stave silos. Being built of hol- ): low blocks such a silo is particularly . frost resistant, and this feature Is one that is quite Important where there is much ireexing weather in winter. Doors are made of wood, and about all the care and repair a tile silo needs after being put up right Is to replace the doors when these have rotted, and to give the inside wall a cement wash aoout once in four or five years. ; THIS GATE WILL NOT SAC Clevis and Swivel Bolt, Which Any Blacksmith Ca Mat,- q Sufficient tc T . i. : Th-3 cievis an.i swi can ic ;xe. l j B | fom.u • n ue-.< y all (aims; No. 9 o- ip Mre, na’ -aui-.ed, two double, is sutI I i 'p»i 3 1 Thia Gate Won't Sag. > • flcient to hold up any gate found or , j the farm.

When it is desirble to feed stock in the lot or yard, as is often the . ease durins the fall and early winter, i a portable feed rack may be made similar to this shown in the accompanying illustration, and will be found to save enough feed to pay for the material and labor of making in a very short time, says a writer in the Homestead. For framework pieces of 2 by 8 lumber are best, while fence boards six inches wide are the best material for boarding. A space of j about six inches should be left be- . tween each board, up the sides and . at the ends. This rack can be either : placed on runners or if rollers are | I Portable Stock Feed Rack* available they are better. In fact, I have found the wheels to be the most i convenient, and the wheels from an : old binder (ruck are very suitable for | i the purpose, but any kind of very o d j wheels will be all right. However, if : there are no wheels available, just make it on runners and It can be I drawn from place to place without i much trouble. Do not feed on the i ground. This fall these racks will ’e especially valuable, for the feed ’ may be short and the need of saving ' great in many places. COMMON DISEASE AMONG PIGS Thumps Is Caus’d by Overfeeding and Lack of Exercise —Best Plan Is to Prevent Disorder. (By W. H. UNDERWOOD.) i Thumps is a common disease I among pigs and is caused by over- ; , feeding and lack of exercise. The dis- ; i ease is easily prevented by careful 1 ' feeding and seeing ’hat the pigs get I | plenty of exercise. Unless promptly ' i dealt with when pigs are first seized, i I the disease is pretty eftnin to han: > them seriously. In quite a number of instances they die The most promt nent indication of thumps is a jerky motion at the flanks in connection with their breathing. The nerves m j the diaphragm are aftected, hence th* 1 trouble is sometimes called spasms - the diaphragm. In some » I there is wheezing. The affecte aoi- , mals -con lose thrift and even tlioug? they recover they are more or less I stunted for ;• good ’ —g time, subse- i quently. Medicine -d* mt do much of , any goo,.
