sqUIRRELs.-As spring approaches the grey
digger squirrel begins to show himself, and
commence depredationsy On the farmers. BY
reason of the mildness of the winter none of
these pests have died of starvation, cold or
floods of water. They, of course, will swarm
into the fields in unusual numbers this spring
and summer, destroying large quantities of
grains II would be a good plan, according to
our way of thinking, for the farmers to de-
T clare war against them early this season. Now
while their favorite food is scarce, they will cat
greedily of wheat that has been poisoned with
strychnins. The best way to prepare the
wheat Is 20 soak it in water, and then sweeten
1t with sugar or syrup before mixing in the
poison. The poisoned grain placed about
their haunts would prove the death Of many
scores of these vernin. The work of destruc-
tion can safely be entrusted to the boys who
are old enough to know the properties Ofstrych.

The French Government has inti-
mated, through one of its ministers,
that in future all parties will be at lib
erty to lay cables from France. This
announcement, if final, must settle the
question between America and France
as to the interchange of cable lines.
The managers of the French line have
contradicted the charge that American
messages are subject to condemnation
by the imperial censor; but time alone
will dispel doubt which derives some
Of its effect from the Franco Rebel
and untrustworthy character of Messrs.
Reuter-, Erlauger & Go. The French
have arrived at an honest conclusion
