Fishing for Squirrels.

Catching squirrels with tishhooks
is the latest scheme for making
away with these pests. 1t is said
that the plan has come into favor
to such an extent in some sections
that farmers are relying solely up
on this method and abandoning the
shotgun and poison. The hooks
are not baited and the squirrels
angled for as might be supposed on
first thought. The method is this:
Take q medium sized hook aud
with q small wire nail, nail it fast
through the eye to a small strip of
a board or stick some ten inches
long, with the hook at right angle
to the stick. Next lay the stick
Hat beside the hole and sink it into
the dirt little, allowing the hook
to project into the squirrel hole. II
the squirrel does not get caught
coming out he is sure to when ne
starts to go into his hole. The
hook penetra 'es his tough skin and
holds him fast, and there he stands
braced for his best pull, like a faith
Gul draft horse, and dies trying to
pull the stick into the hole. 1t is
cruel, but 1t is eaid to be effective.

A Neighborhood Row.

As the result of = neighborhsod
row, Peter Mckinney was brought
to town the other day, suffering
from a gun-shot wound in the left
leg. DR.. Coleman succeeded in ex-
tracing from 80 to 10 No. 0 shot
from the injured limb. Peter re-
sides over on the Little Potlatch,
and is employed on ranch by q
man named Hunter. 1t seems that
Hunters hogs made their escape
from the piggery and raided a
neighbours garden, the aforesaid
neighbor being Swede. McKin-
ney went after the swine, but the
Swede had them safe and secure in
a corrall. Mckinney endeavered
to release the pigs, and fight en-
sued in which the Irish lad knocked
out the Svwensky boy. One of the
Swedes then rushed to the house,
returning with a shotgun, and
pulled the trigger of the blunderbus
on Mckinney with the above re-
suit. Mckinney will recover, at
least his leg will; but there are sew
eral leaden pellets therein which it
will require an X-ray to discover,

is to prevent the travelling swarms
from entering the cultivated fields;
the other is to catch and destroy
the insects.
The most practicable way of pre-
venting grasshoppers from entering
a field is by ditching, This neces-
states digging a ditch at least two
feet deep and two feet wide between
the crops to be protected and the
breeding ground of the grasshop-
pers, The sides of the ditch should
be perpendicular, especially the
side next to the field, otherwise the
insects can crawl out. The great
majority of the insects that fall or
hop into the ditch perish there in
the course of few days,-Walla

To Fight Grasshcppers.

Erasshoppers are becoming al
armingly numerous in certain parts
OF Walla Walla county, especially
along the Touchet.
F. NJ. Lowden reports that he had
a seventy acre field Of alfalfa cut tc
the ground by the hoppers. He
was glad to see them eat the alfalfa
so long as they let his wheat alone
but he fears that they will make
inroads on his wheat fields.
Owing to the numerous reports
received during the last ten days
from various parts of eastern Wash
ington relative to the threatened
outbreak of grasshoppers, PROBES.
sors Piper and Doane Of the state
agricultural college at Pullman
have been carrying on investiga-
tions and conducting experiments
to ascertain the best means of COM
batting the insects From infor-
mation received in letters and from
direct information it appears that
the outbreak is due to the large in
crease in numbers Of the native
species, and not to the Rocky
mountain grasshopper, which per-
aiodically does so much damage in
Kansas and neighboring states.
Only in 1874, "the great grasshop-
per year." did the Rocky mountain
grasshopper get so far west as
Washington, and it has not been
seen in the state since. The COM
monest species in the present out
break ia the less migratory grass
hopper (melanoplus attanus) which
isthe most destructive of the species
found in this state, and which an
nuallv does more OF less local dam

In combating grasshoppers only
two methods have been found of
any practical value. One Of these

game they seem to concluGs that drag
giDg a sled is for them merely side is
sue; that their actual mission in life IS
TO go after the game whenever IT Is
within range. he says:
"a thaw had been followed by a
frost. and the snow covering the ice on
the lakes was frozen hard So four of
our party got on the sleigh to have a
final drive. They started in great glee,
and Just as they rounded the first point
they saw a fine young caribou buck
about 500 yards ahead. As soon as the
dogs saw it they gave yelp like pack
OF wolves and started like an arrow
from a bow after the caribou, which
looked round ON hearing the yelp, saw
its pursuers and few over the ice, keep
ing in the middle OF the lake. When the
dogs started with jerk. one of the party
was thrown of violently and slid long
way on the hard snow before he could
pull up, feeling redhot from the fric-
tion and gazing wistfully after his fast
disappearing comrades, who CHING TO
the sleigh like grim death and enjoyed
this novel hunt OF course, there was
not the slightest chance of their catch
ing the animal, which, instead of max
ing for the bush On the nearest shore,
held On IN the middle of the lake, right
mp to the end, where IL took TO the
woods. The impromptu hunters soon
found themselves in difficulty, for IL
was impossible 10 stop the dogs, who
could not realize tnat they had sleigh
behind them with passengers. The
driver tried in vain TO stop them, and
there was every probability of broken
limbs or necks when they would strike
the bush. However, they soon made up
their minds and dropped OF one by one,
rolling over and over in the SHOW, or
sliding some distance away, with much
damage to their neither garments and
much abrasion Of the cuticle. Mean
while the dogs, relieved Of the weight,
rushed after the deer, and, entering the
woods, got tangled up among the trees,
and, as usual ON such occasions, wound
up with free fight among themselves.
After extricating them the party re-em-
barked and drove quietly back to the
house, where they repaired damages,
related their adventure and wrote it
down in the clubs logbook.

either. We have ourselves III only ere
