Fight Prairie- Dogs and Squirrels.
A correspondent writes from Wyom-
ing Territory relating the difficulty he
has met in combating the depredations
Of prairie dogs upon his crops, and
asking for some remedy.
+. The same troubleis Is. cnt ountercd In
some portions OF Colorado and
farmer who has experimented with
various remedies gives the following
as the one which has proved most sue
cessful with him: Dissolve one ounce
of crystallized strychnine in . quart d
alcohol or whisky. Fill . eommok
wooden pail half full Of water and ID
the dissolved poison. Put in as mug
white oats as the liquid will cover. ami
allow it to soak over, night. In tAc
morning drain off tho water. saving IL
for another time, and allow tho oats
to partially dry. Then mix quantity
Of sugar with the grain in order 10 dis

tablespoonful Of the prepared oats put
in front of each hole will generally
suffice to remove all the occupants
thereof. 3A ia 9t, iN

Farming is made of many home in-
dustries and to neglect poultry as one
of the sources OF income is poor econo-
my, At certain seasons, when most OF
the other products are disposed of, eggs
and early broilers in the spring aud
SuEImer, and roasters in the fall, are In
the aggregate, ute an item, and many
furnish all the supplies needed. We
have always maintained that the farm
ing class have facilities and advantages
over the ordinary village poulterer In
the way Of range and keeping them
cheaply at all seasons of the year. It
costs very little to keep a hock Of
fowls on the farm. They usually pro-
vide the greatest share Of their own
living from the stable, the orchard, the
stubble field and the straw stack. This
grain and the seed which they pick up,
If left untouched, would be Of no earth-
ly use to the farmer and the worms.

Here is a Oueer Linnor law.

A liqour introduced into the Ohio as
sembly provides that nobody shall sell,
give or furnish intoxicants to be used
as beverage to any person who is not
a legal habitnal drinker, and does not
have with him certificate showing
that he is such drlnker. Any resi-
dent ofOhio more than 81 years of age
may become a habitual drinker by
making affidavit before the probate
Judge of his county, registering his
nvme, age, residence and occupation
and paying fifty cents for registry and
the certificate, which the judge will
thereupon issue. Selling to a non-reg-
istered drinker is a misdemeanor,. pun
ishable with fine and imprisonment.

How to Advertise,

A contempo rary in some "hints on
Advertising" says; "Another thing
which publishers have to contend with
is that the results OF advertising are not
always visible to patrons, many Of
whom cannot understand why custom
cannot be directly traced TO source
where they expended their money to
obtain it. Business is like river with
many tributaries, and in which II Is
impossible TO trace every individual
drop of water to the spring from
whence 1t came. But II a journal Is
selected Tor advertising purposes that
reached time and again the person
most likely TO be interested In the solic-
itation, that paper is certainly a sure
fountain-head of profitable trade in the
stream OF patronage far below. Tenn
porary advertisements In small way
will not produce an Immediate or per-
manent increase OF Business any more
than light shower will effect the
depth of water in well, but by per-
sistcncy in the use of printers ink In
the right direction the results sought
will be gained in the end with interest,""

work are the men who work the
hardest. Don't be afraid of killing
yourself with overwork. 1t iss be-

sometimes but it is because they
quit work at p. N. and don't 60

slumbers; it gives you perfect and
grateful appreciation of q holiday
