The best time to commenc. operations
is during period OF warm clear weather
in the winter. The advantage Of oprr-
atiug during the winter is that the grass
and ruts upon which they feed are dead
and frozen. and hunger compels them to
eat more freely 0f the poisoned wheat.
The poison seems to work within forty
eight hours. In about week or ten
days the town should be gone over Il sec

some dogs left. of which about so per
cent will be killed by the second appli-
cation. During the mating season in
the spring the remaining dogs will con-
gregate. and then as soon AS the young
ones begin to appear above ground the
poison can again be distributed.
An important matter in the exter1nin-
alton of prairie dogs is to organize Il gen
eral crusade against them, as they will
migrate from nearby towns as soon as
the grass becomes abundant on land
where they have been extegminated. In
order, therefore. TO make the destruct-
inn complete, war should be made on
them over large range of territory.
The amount of the mixture required is
about one bushel to 100 acres in the case
of an average town. The number of
holes to the acre range from 80 to $50.
-Four men can easily cover 1G0 acres in d

How Lawton Clothed Hi. Wen.


This story was told by Colonel Dorst.
adjutant general Of the Seventh Army
Corps. who served With Lawton in his In
dams campaigns in the far West. On one
occasion, in the dead OF winter. there was
an uprising OF redskins and a general mas
Sacre seemed imminent In the sparsely set
tied region that fringed the outskirts Of
civilization a long distance beyond the
camp. The soldiers were almost devoid Of
shoes. underwear, and overcoats. and
march while they were in that condition was
impossible. LawtOn was quartermaster Of
the camp The commanding officer was in
an awful dilemma when Lawton came 10
him with a request for a leave OF absence
for i've days, promising TO have the sup
plies in camp by that time. His superiors
ridiculed the idea, but leave OF absence
was granted. Fifty miles from the camp
was the terminus Of a new railroad which
had been built from Omaha. He travelled
the fifty miles overland and covered the
remainder Of the distance 10 Omaha-of $50
miles-by rail- On the way he engaged
teams OF oxen to wait at the terminus until
ne returned When he arrived az Omoha
he found he could not get the overcoats
there and he promptly sent rush ORDER
TO Chicago for them. The underwear and
shoes he purchased in Omaha. Before the
expiration Of the five days he returned 10
carp with the supplies and all Of the old
army officers agreed that II was the most
remarkable feat Of equipping regiment on

charges are set forth in the bill Of com

proposition to the Standard Rope andTwine
Company 70 transfer 10 it a secret process

patented, and to give to the Trust the ex-
elusive use OF IL, except that a right to use
1t in their own business should be reserved
by Travers Brothers of New York. In re-
turn Travers was to receive % per
cent of the profits derived from the use OF
the patented process.
Travers represented, /, is alleged. that
