To make a loop splice, 'double the
rope where loop is desired. Through
the short end of the rope, make an
opening by raising two of the strands
tad pushing the third strand dowm.
Pass the long part of the rope through
thig opening in the same direction that
the third or single strand runs (see
Fig. 1). Draw down to about the size
that the loop is desired. Now make
& similar opening in the long part of
the rope just above where the short
end crosses, and pass the short end
through (see lig. 2). Draw thie
through and draw the two openings
together. If all has been done com

rastly, a very smooth splice (I'ig. 3)
will be the result.
To make the eye splice, untwist the
strands at one end of the rope about
}six inches. Then double the rope to
the size of the “eye” desired. Arrange
the strands as (a), (b) and (¢) on the
main rope (x), Pig. 1. Let the mid
dle strand (a) lie along the main rope
(x). Now, holding the loop in the
left hand, raise one of the strands in
(x) on the side nearest (a). Push (a)
through, under the strand which has
been raised (see Fig. 2.) Now, put
strand (b) under the next strand be

down past this strand and then up
under the strand in the same as in
the shovt splice.
: Now splice the three strands (a),
(b) and (¢) down the main rope the
laame direction taken by (a) and (b).
Each loose strand should now be un
der one strand for the malin rope. No
two should be under thq same strand
-| and no two should come out from be
tween the same two strands,
The end-splice is used ag a perma
vent fastening in the end of a rope to
prevent it from rayeling. The crown
should always be used in starting the
end splice. g
To make the crown the strands are
first untwisted about six inches, then
cne of the strands is doubled to tiie
right and laid between the other two
strands. (See crown, Fig. 1 a). Then
the next strand, (b) around the rope
to the right is brought down across
the loop and held alcng the main rope.
Then the third strand (c) is passed
down thx;oaxgh the loop made by (a).
(Bee crown, Fig. 2). If all has been
done correctly the crown now appears
as shown in the i{llustration.

TRAPPER MUST BE SKILLED
Farmer Boy, to Be Successful, Must
Acquire Knowledge of Habits
of Different Animals.
Wild animals depend largely onl
‘their scent to escape pitfalls and
traps. Congequently, any effort in
trapping must first of all eliminate
odors. Therefore, to be most suc
cessful in capturing fur animals re
lquir(\s knowledge of the habits of
each. The setting of traps requires
akill, not only in placing them in the
right epot, but in covering up odors
and the evidence of the presence of
human beings. The time of the year
and the character of the weather have
[ much to do in finding prizes on mak
-1lnx: the rounds in the morning. Ani
t mals are governed largely by weather
‘c(md!tions and when a severe Snow
gtorm or ecold snap approaches, re
| main close in their dens or holes. At
isuch times the trapper will not have
! much luck. Dry, cold, frosty nights
;ln winter are also not fruitful of
| good results. But when the nights
|are dark, rainy and cloudy the
| chances for good catches are very
|‘ favorable.
| Most game is usually found In
! wild, rough, hilly or swampy coun
itries, Foxes and wolves are some
times seen on the open prairie. In
|looking for signs of game observe
| carefully the rocks and brush along
| ereeks, ponds and lakes. The paths
of beaver, muskrat, coon and mink
| are evidences that fur-bearing game
}lmvols in that vicinity. These are
| sure signs and are splendid places to
[trap. For mink, which is one of the
’m(mt valuable fur animals, the trap
ghould be set near the den. Trap:
|ping for mink may begin in Novems
| ber and continue until April, between
| which dates the fur is prime.
! If a plain trail leads into and along
“flm edge of the water, the trap may
ibn get in the water at the extreme
| edge, 80 that it will not be conspicu
i()us. The chain should be fastened
| with a stake deep under the water.
i In open drifts and hollow logs the
[trap is set at the entrance and cov
{ered with leaves and the bait places
lin the hole a few inches from the en
{trance. Traps should be handled
with gloves.
