CALIFORNIA PESTS.

The squirrels and Gophers-A War of Exter-
mDauon.
The San Francisco Bulletin of a late date
said:-
'"The orchards, vineyards, and wheat fields of
California suffer severely from the depredations
of squirrels and gophers and the determination
of the pests should begin immediately. The
practicai agrculturists have long comprehended
the situation, and used every means that inge-
nuity could devise to checkmate the greedy
creatures, but without avail. The squirrels
especially have multiplied rapidly. In portions
of Alameda and Contra Costa counties the
farmers are now compelled to hire men and
boys to guard their fields with shot guns against
the invasions of the rodents; and this, too after
poisoned wheat had been scattered about the
infested regions. In one instance last sum-
mer the squirrels harvested half sixty
field of small grain, despite all the precautions
taken by the owner. Again, we have credible
information of emigration enterprises inaugu-
rated and carried out successfully in one Rght
by the squirrels. The industrious farmer devotes
months of patient labor to the thinning out of
the pests, and when he fatters himself that they
are effectually subdued and he is master of his
own premises, recruits from the outside come
pouring in, and he too frequently relinquishes
the combat in despair
