Webster on the Great West.

When we think of the teeming popu-
lation which now fills many portions of
our country west of the Rocky Noun
tains, and remember how famous, all
over the world, is their singular beauty,
and their incompatible value to the
tourist, the health seeker, the agricul-
turist and the horticulturist, as well as
the miner, it is interesting to read what
so intelligent u statesman as Daniel
Webster thought Of them just fifty years
ago, and to know that his views were
shared by many other public men of the
time. In speech delivered in the
United States senate in 1874, with re-
gard to the proposal that mail service
should be established between Missouri
and the Pacific coast, Webster said ::
"What do we want with this vast
worthless area, this region of savages
and wild beasts, of deserts, of shifting
sands and whirlwinds Of dust, of cactus
and prairie dogsp To what use could
we ever hope to put these great deserts,
or these endless mountain ranges, I'M
penetrable, and covered to their bases
with eternal snowp What can we ever
hope to do with the western coast, a
coast of three thousand miles, rock
bound, cheerless and uninviting, with
not a harbor on it2 What use have we
for such couptryp Mr.. President, l
will never vote one cent from the public
treasury to place the Pacific coast one
inch nearer Boston than it is to-day"

Death to Prairie Dogs.

n. e. Batty, of Egeria Park, in south
eastern Routt county, writes to the
Steamboat Pilot, giving the following
remedy for Kidding the country of
prairie dogs. Mr.. BIS method is said
to be infallible, and some of our ranch
men should give it trial. Prairie dogs
are running the ranges of Rio Blanco
county, and something must be done to
exterminate them.
10 those who are troubled with
prairie dogs l will give remedy which
Will never fail and which is easy and
very simple to apply Get what is
called "Fuma," which is a LIQUID gas.
Procure dry horse manure balls and
soak one ball thoroughly. Throw or
roll it into the hole, then cap the hole
with sod and throw dirt on top to close
up the hole air tight, and the jig is up
with the prairie dogs. ''Fuma' is
special grade Of carbon -bisuIphide,
which is heavier than air, and when
confined sinks to the bottom of the hole,
and suffocates the dog almost instantly.
II was skeptical about it at first, and
procured one quart, and was soon con-
Vinced it was just the thing. 1 had val
liable land that could not cultivate on
account of the damage they did Now
l am rid of them completely. 1t will
cost about twelve dollars a hundred
pounds laid down anywhere in Colo
rado. Any stockman who wishes to rid
his pasture of the pests can do so at
small cost, and would urge those who
are bothered with them to give it
trial. Fuma is highly infamable, and
should never come near fire. Use the
same care as with gunpowder and there
is no danger. 1t will kill ground squir-
rels, red ants, or any animal that bur-
rows. 1t will exterminate moles, but
good deal of trouble will be found on
account of their burrows extending so
far underground. To those who have
alfalfa fields that cannot be irrigated, 1
would advise that they take the pains
to dig down to their runs and put sat
urated ball both ways with the run; it
will knock them silly.
watch for new holes, as all cannot
be found at one time. To kill red ants,
pour two tablespoonfuls of bisulphide
in their main entrance. Some light the
gas and explode it, and say that it works
better, but find the quickest way is TO
take an iron bar and make hole down
through the middle two foot deep, then
pour in some Of the liquid and close the
hole, and it will make clean sweep.
"Strychnine is good, but rodents can
not be exterminated completely. There
are sure to be some left, and in few
years they are as bad as ever; but with
fuma there are none left if the poison is
applied thoroughly. Fuma is unhealth-
full to breathe, hence should not be in
hailed. Keep to the windward when
applying. 1t will not irjure the hands
or body, and can be handled without in
jury. 1t evaporates quickly when ex-
posed to the air, and after applying ii
should be kept well corked to avoid
loss."
