a biennial.

Mrs. Countryman: Wouldn't the hollyhock come under the heading of being
perennial but not a permanent perennial?

Mr. Hawkins: It might be classed that way. There seems to be a
difference of opinion as to just what it is. I have known them to come
six or seven years in the same spot.

TIE TRAP FOR RABBITS.--An inexpensive and permanent sewer tile
trap for cottontail rabbits has proved very effective in Kansas. To make
the trap, proceed as follows:

"Set a 12 by 6-inch 'T' sewer tile with the long end downward, and bury
it so that the 6-inch opening at the side is below the surface of the
ground. Connect two lengths of 6-inch sewer pipe horizontally with the
side opening. Second grade or even broken tile will do. Cover the joints
with soil so as to exclude light. Provide a tight removable cover, such
as an old harrow disk, for the top of the large tile. The projecting end
of the small tile is then surrounded with rocks, brush, or wood, so as
to make the hole look inviting to rabbits and encourage them to frequent
the den. Rabbits, of course, are free to go in or out of these dens,
which should be constructed in promising spots on the farm and in the
orchard. A trained dog will locate inhabited dens. The outlet is closed
with a disk of wood on a stake, or the dog guards the opening. The cover
is lifted and the rabbits captured by hand.

"These traps are especially suitable for open lands and prairies, where
rabbits cannot find natural hiding places. They are permanent and cost
nothing for repairs from year to year. If it is desired to poison
rabbits, the baits may be placed inside these traps, out of the way of
domestic animals or birds. This trap also furnishes an excellent means
of obtaining rabbits for the table, or even for market."--U.S. Dept. of

Blueberry Culture.

U.S. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE.

Blueberries thrive best on soils which are so acid that they are usually
considered almost worthless for ordinary agricultural purposes.
Blueberry culture, therefore, offers possibilities of profit to
individual land-owners in districts in which the general conditions are
especially hard and unpromising. Blueberries can not be grown in
ordinary fertile soils.

Although frequently confused, especially in the South and in the Middle
West, blueberries and huckleberries are quite distinct. In New England
the name "huckleberry" is restricted to
