TO DESTROY PRAIRIE DOGS.
New Method Discovered In Texas to
Overcome the Pest.

The prairie dog pest, which has caus-
ed the farmers and stoclmen of the
| Panhandle section of Texas severe
losses during the past several years, is
fast being eradicated. The Hon. ]. G.
Peery of Baylor county, member of the
state legislature, who introduced bill
at the last session of that body. provid-
| ing for the determination of cl the
prairie dogs in the state, has been
spending Il few days in Austin. He
says that while he regrets that his bill
did not become law and thereby
make the killing of the prairie dogs
compulsory, yet new method of kill
ing the little animals has been discov-
cred and iD being generally adopted by
| the farmers and stockmen throughout
the pest stricken section.
1T was discovered several months
ago." Mr.. Peery said to a reporter of
the Chicago Record, that the animals
could be exterminated by suffocation,
the method being to saturate piece of
cotton with bisulphide of carbon. This
is dropped in the prairie dogs mound
and covered over. 1t rapidly gener-
ates n gas which has n tendency to
penetrate downward into every corner
of the underground chambers occupied
by the parent dogs and their young,
giving them quick and easy death.
Millions of prairie dogs have been kill
ed in this manner during the past few
months. A number of men have taken
hold of the work as 4 regular business,
and they take contracts to rid farms
and ranches of the pest at the extreme
ly low rate of 4 cents per acre, or S25
per section. Inasmuch as the animals
destroyed fully so per cent of the
grass and wheat in the Panhandle sec
ton, the landowners can well afford
to pay the low price demanded for get
ting rid of the little pests. The only
difficulty about making the riddance
permanent is that the railroad compa-
MES and state own vast tracts of land
in the Panhandle, and there is no eff
fort being made to eXterminate the
prairie dogs on these lands. They
propagate very rapidly and are contin-
ually migrating from one section into
another. 1t will therefore take con-
slant work 20 keep the dogs off those
sections of lands which adjoin the rail
road and state lands. The state and
railroads should be forced to extermi-
nate the pests on their own lands, and
if that was done the complete eradica-
ton of the pest in Texas would soon be
accomplished"
Previous to the discovery that the
prairie dogs could be easily killed by
the fumes OF bisulphide of carbon the
principal method of cXterminating
them was by trapping and poison. This
was such n slow process. however, that
comparatively little headway was
made.
