Death to Prairie Dogs and Ants.
lLeadvilIe Cor. Dallas Herald

Some three years ago, while making trip
across the continental divide, stopped for
dinner at roadside tavern, situated in a
creek valley; close at hand was prairie dog
town, numbering over 500 inhabitants.
Not long since, I had occasion to stop
at the same house, and saw that the small
level prairie, once occupied by prairie dogs,
had been inclosea plowed, and was then COW
cred with a luxuriant crop of grass. Seeing
no signs of the little beasts, upon asking what
had become of them, I was told they had
been exterminated In the following way:
Balls of cotton or rags were saturated with
bi-sulphide of carbon-an impure preparation
will do and is cheap-pushed far down into
the holes, and the holes firmly packed with
earth. Bi-sulphide of carbon being an ex
tremely volatile fluid, quickly evaporates and
forms heavy gas, which occupies every
chamber and gallery of the animals dwelling
This gas is as promptly fatal to animal life as
the fumes of burning sulphur or carbolic acid
gas.
My informant also destroyed in a similar
way several colonies of large ants, of the
same species as those found in Texas. He
built fire close to the ant-bed, shoveled the
earth forming the ant-hin into the fire, SO as
to burn up the ants contained in 1t with their
young, then scraped the surface Of the
ground clean, and waited while to give the
ants chance to clear the tunnels from any
earth that may have dropped into them. A
ball of cotton saturated with bi-sulphide Of
carbon was placed in the center Of the bed,
covered over with a tin vessel large enough
to embrace the greater number, If not all the
outlets, and earth was packed about the tin,
30 as to exclude air. Next day the tin was
removed. He showed me the sites of several
beds In his yard where the ants had been
killed in this manner. Since then, while in
Colorado Springs, I was told this plan has
been successfully used in California for a
number of years; it was used for the exter-
mination Of gophers, yellow Jackets, and all
ether bulTowing animals and inSects

THERE is very little question as to
the fact that when a woman once sets
her mind on thing she has more pure
grit than a man has. A woman
named Lizzie Brady, of White Cloud,
Doniphan county, furnishes the latest
example. On account of a quarrel
with her father, she resolved upon su-
icide and more violent means failing,
she decided to starve herself, also stub.
bornly refusing to speak. She had al
ready lain on sick bed seven weeks
before she began abstaining from food
yet she lived fifty-three days without
tasting morsel of nourishment
During all that time she did not utter
a single word. An autopsy revealed
the fact that her organs were all per.
fectly healthy, and the formal verdict
of the physicians was death by starya'
ton.

Uniform School Books.

A recent visit from an agent OF one
of the eastern school book publishing
houses reminds US of the fact that the
five years during which, as prescribed
by law, no change should be made In
the series of text books adopted by
any district in the state, expire this
fall. In view u this fact we wish to
suggest that 1t would be a good idea
if steps could be taken to secure a I'M
form series of text books for use all over
the county during the next five years.
The advantage of having such uni
iformity is SO apparent as hardly to
need argument. AS matters stand
now, every district using different
books, the removal of family from
one farm to another half mile dis
tant will often necessitate the purchase
of an entire new set of school books.
The boundaries of school districts may
also be changed with the same result to
the families thus transferred from one
district to another. For these reasons
and many others that might be men
toned, the present system presents
a great many disadvantages that
would all be remedied by the adoption
of a uniform series of text books, and
we would respectfully call the atten-
ton of school boards aud others inter-
ested to the desirability of the change.
Later: Since writing the above we
have conversed with Superintendent
Henderson OIL the subject, and he says
that he has already made similar sug-
gestions to nearly every school board
iu the county and that they have met
with universal approval. Such be-
ing the case there will probably be
little difficulty in having the change
made. In furtherance of the plan
Mr.. H. will probably call meeting
of all school boards and educators,
sometime during the sumner to con.
slider way and means.
