.CoIjfor mia Squirrel.

Five Italian woOdchoppers who are
in the employ of L. B. Rathbun, a farm
er of San Juan. California, recently set
their wits to work to protect gram
field from the depredations oil an army
of ground squirrels. They found the
holes in which the squirrels burroWed
and drove a solid stake close to the
month of each hole. They then took
niece of smalI-sized wire and fastened
one securely to each stake and MADE
sort of slip moose at the other end, which
they placed in the mouth of each hole.
The result was that when a squirrel at
tempted to emerge from his hiding
place he would run his head directly
into the moose, and that was the last OF
him. As many as eighteen of the vex-
a,ious animals were caught in this
manner one day. The trappers, how
ever, discovered one soggy old chap VINO
baflled their ingenuity, and for the pur-
pose of ensnaring him they rugged up
three of their nooses and placed them at
the hole occupied by the wary animal,
thinking that if he passed through one
or two of them he would be caught by
the third one. Judge of their astonish-
ment on finding securely fastened within
two of the moses, instead ola squirrel,
an immense rattlesnake, wearing on his
neither end sixteen rattles. The snake
was fastened tightly By two of the
nooses, and was soon dispatched by the
trappers.
