Get a common box, remove the top

Fasten a spool, e, in the end of a

about six inches from the bottom of
the box, and at h out a notch in the
outside of the end board. Sharpen
stick, 8% at each end. The stick, 1 i,
should be 12 inches long, notched at

notched and pointed. Fasten a string
at m, bring over the spool at c, and
down to gand tie at the middle of stick,

so that when set the door will be wide
open, about eight inches. Place bait
of any kind on 1. When a rabbit or
other pest sniffles it he will dislodge

will drop. Sometimes a weight can be
used on the cover to advantage.—

STORE-BOX FARMERS.
They Ap» the Fellows Who Object
Againnt the lntroAuetlon of
Bsral Mall Ilsllvory,
The chairman of the committcee on
post offices in congress declares, in an
interview, that free delivery of rural
mail is not favored everywhere and
cites as proof that some country peo
ple somewhere are objecting because
tuny are rtcmcci the pnvnege oi their
store visits to get the mail and also
that some are not on the route and are
objecting. He concludes by saying he
will go to the bottom of the affair and
intimates that further appropriation
is not desirable. If the above is not
“cheap store” talk I never heard of it."
If the chairman had read the several
letters of the assistant postmaster
general he would have found all of
these objections stated and at the
same time have seen them completely
removed. Free delivery does not
throw any barrier iu the way of the
“store meeting,” it only disarms the
boys and men of the “mail excuse.”
From the above interview we would bo
led to believe that the social and ed
ucational training of the rural peo
ple depended upon these “store meet
ings.” Who attend? The leaders of
society and the most successful? Nay,
verily. Here we invariably find the
Jack-knife farmer and those of his
class. The knowledge to be gained by
such association is a minus quantity
and the language used is not accord
ing to our best grammarians, while
the stories told are not worth the
time, and destroy the mind for better
tilings. If the “store meeting” is so
classical why not take our daughters
nrid wi ves along? But, alas, we cannot.
From this we rebel, for it is free deliv
ery of another kind that makes it ob
noxious to our ladies. You all know
what 1 mean by this latter delivery—
it usually consists of a box two feet
square, filled with ashes or sawdust.
These “store meetings” instead of do
ing good actually result in a great
many wrongs. The wife is left at home
to carry the wood and water, the stock
oftentimes goes without feed, the girls
are obliged to go without the paper or
magazine till the store meeting is over
and so it continues.
There is nothing that makes me lose
patience with my fellow farmers so ;
much ns to see them idling their time
away on the store box—and complain
ing that farming does not pay. How !
much better if this time were spent in j
reading good books and good papers !
and then instead of meeting in the j
store to attend the grange where the j
best thought and associates are found
and where refinement and culture
abound. Bet 11s hear no more of turn- j
ing the wheels backward to accommo
date a few bock numbers.—National
Stockman.
Isileiulve Pencil Culture.
Peach culture is a specialty with Mr.
R. Morrill, of Michigan. He applies an
nually to his trees 100 pounds of wood
aslies an acre and 400 pounds of bone
meal. He plows the ground about two
and one-half inches deep just after the
blooming season, and then cultivates
continually, going over his whole or
chard of 100 acres every week. He does
not try to cultivate close to the trees I
but thinks that by cultivating the mid
dle of the rows each way he gets the re
sult aimed at* namely, the retention i
of the moisture. This is what he calls
“horse-leg irrigation.” — Farm and
