ExTERMINATINo PRAIRIE DOGS
Press Bulletin No. 10, OF ASricuIfuP-
al Experiment Station OF the
Nebraska Universally,
OF Lincoln.

Few persons realize the amount
of damage done by prairie dogs,
aud hence no organized force has
been exerted against them. The
damage done by these little pests
consists in killing out the grass,
which they do very extensively,
and as that part of the country
in which they exist is almost en-
tirely used for grazing purposes
it is necessary that the land be
saved against their ravages.
There have been numerous
methods advocated for the ex-
termination of these pests.
Among the gases that seem to be
very effective is carbon bisul-
phide. This was tried on a very
large dog town with good results.
But one complaint against any
gas, and especially carbon bisul-
phide, is that it is very expensive
and also that its application is
very laborious; and for this reas-
on its use is not recommended.
This year the Station continu-
ed experiments in the northeast
ern part of Sheridan county in
what is known as the mirage
flats" There were various ex-
periments tried there, some with
gas of cheaper nature, known
as the gas drip, but it has not
proved satisfactory. Cultures
have been tried, and these have
not given entire satisfaction.
The treatment that has proven
most effective is the use of strych-
nine and potassium cyanide, The
formula is as follows:
Dissolve 3 ounces of strych-
nine and one-half pound of po-
tassium cyaniue in one quart of
boiling water; then add ? quarts
of molasses and 1 teaspoonful of
oil of anise. Stir. Then place 1
bushel of wheat in a tight recep-
tacle $50 there will be no loss
from leakage) and pour the fore
going solution overit. 1t should
then be we'll stirred while an as
sistant slowly sprinkles into the
mixture pounds of finely ground
corn meal. The molasses aen-
ders the liquid adhesive, so that
it will cling to the grains of
wheat. The object of using the
corn meal is-to absorb the super
fuous liquid or syrup and thus
enable the grains of wheat to

Newspapers In the School.

Hon VIM. H. Lynch, who Is prin.
cipal of the Mountain Grove, Mo-,
Academy, with over 3S yeats exper-
fence in his profession, is achieving
wide fame for having been the first
to introduce the new spaper as a POI
tent factor in the schoolroom. He
established the newspaper hour
in his school-room several years ago
for which he has been heartily COM
mended by the leading American
and European educators. For more
than twenty years Prof. Lynch has
been a persistent newspaper and
magazine reader. In an interview
on the method of his new departure
he said:
al discovered years ago that no
text book was equal to the newspa-
per as means for taking know
ledge of the actual, practical, and
up-to-date world into the school
room. History geography, civil
government, algebra, chemistry, and
the entire academic Curriculum teach
only theory of the world and its
facts. The real drama of life in its
varied forms, commercial, political,
and social relations must be seen
and learned through the mirror OF
the newspaper. = + The press is the
best instrument known to civiliza-
ton for enlightening the mind Of
man and establishing him as ration
al, moral and mental being. The
three greatest factors to permanency
and prosperity in this great republic
today are the railroads, the printing
press and the public schools.
Prof. Lynch's favorite motto i:
"The newspapers and the Public
Schools are the Universities of the
People" 1t was while addressing
the Missouri Press Association re
Gently that he capped the climax il
his estimate of the newspaper wher
oe said with strong emphasis:
"If l could not read a word; if
were blind and deaf, 1 would take :
newspaper, pay for it and have i
thrown at my gate, so that wher
people passed my home, they would
know there lived a man interested il
the welfare and upbuilding of hi
community. '-Woodward (Okla.

HOnOlulu's First Beer Brewery.
(Sau Francisco Chronicle.)

tSdn FRANCISCO OQEOnlCke.l
Honolulu-The territory Of Hawaii
has what it has never had before. a
beer brewery. There has been illicit
distillation Of "swipes'' ever since it
was learned that sweet potatoes would
ferment and produce an intoxicatin
beverage, and more especially since il
was learned that it could be fortified
with wood alcohol, kerosene and and
methylated spirits, and be made still
more potent in its inebriating qualities.
There has been Illicit distillation of
'okOlehaO," said to be, when distilled
under decent conditions, the perfection
and ideal Of a distilled liquor. the very
nectar Of the Il root. But there has
never been a beer brewery in the
islands before.
With the 1st Of July the Honolulu
brewery began TO distribute its product
There was considerable ceremony in
connection with drawing the first brew,
and quite an affair was made of it by
the company. The opening of the brew
cry also set in motion an old law,
passed years ago, which provided for
an entirely new kind of saloon, differ
ent from any other saloon licensed in
the territory. This law provided that
if any brewery should be established
in the islands, the treasurer was &ere-
upon authorized to license any person
who applied for such license to conduct
a saloon. at which should be sold moth
ing except Hawaiian-bre beer. In
conformity with this law and the
starting of the brewery, a large num-
Der of home-brewed beer saloons have
been licensed, and it is expected that
a large number of=etheFs, probably 100
