is FREE RANGE NECESSARY.

Having noticed several articles on
this subject lately, and believing that
a further discussion along this line
might prove beneficial, I take the lib
erty to say something in regard to
it, writes a practical poultry raiser.
Like everything else in chickendom,
continued writings on the necessity
of free range for fowls has caused
most people to believe that all the
hard luck experienced with a flock of
fowls arises from confinement. In this
way people with small quarters hand
ling mongrel stock, continue to handle
any old thing in the chicken line, for,
as they believe, their quarters are in
sufficiently large to give pure-bred
idea that they do from reading the
many articles on free range, they fig
ure that high-bred fowls must neces-
sarily have plenty of free range, so
that it is not in their power to handle
that kind of stock except at loss.
Another idea continually harped upon,
mostly by the manufacturers and
dealers in all kinds OF mixtures or
poultry foods, that they claim are
absolutely necessary to have on hand
for fowls in confinement, make the
keeping of fancy chicks to their mind
too expensive for consideration. This
erroneous idea, as I previously said,
has been written about so much that
it is time to let the novice or anna
teur know that it is not more neces-
sary to feed any of the different poul-
try foods to the fowls than it is to
buy the fancy feeds for horses, cattle
or hogs that are kept in confinement
most of their time, and while it is
true that you must take good care of
any stock that you wish to make prof
liable, nevertheless it does not follow
that you must use costly prepared
foods. Nature does not require any

KILLING OFF THE GoPHERs.

The North Dakota experiment sta
ton report last issued says: Ere
quent inquiries are received at the
experiment station asking how best
to employ strychnine for poisoning
gophers.
The amount of damage to farm
crops by these little pests is very
great 1t is estimated that in 1901
the damage to the alfalfa growers
of Kansas from the ravages of the
pocket gopher was 100000. Grass,
small grains, corn, vegetables, ETC.,
suffer largely from gophers. Their
damage is of two-fold character, in
that they not only destroy the grow
ing grain, but throw up little mounds
of dirt in the fields to interfere with
cutting the crops. The gOphers also
tramp down and destroy each sea
son large amount of gain, and 1t
may be safely said that in North Da-
kota the damage to farm crops in
the aggregate is greater than the es-
timated damage to the alfalfa grow
ers of Kansas.
The early spring is the breeding
season, and gophers are very prolific,
sometimes producing as many as ten
or eleven young in a single litter;
therefore. the destruction of one fe-
male gopher at this season means as
much as many killed later in the sea-
son.
Many complaints are made that
strychnine does not seem to destroy
many of the gophers in some in
stances, where it has been employed.
There may be two reasons for this.
The strychnine is not soluble to any
extent, even in hot water, and gophers
eat but little food at one time To
successfully destroy these pests the
poison should be present in the food
in considerable quantity. and the
strychnine should be soluble and in
a form or mass acceptable to the
animal to be poisoned.
Strychnine is readily soluble in hot
calculated water, and we recommend
the following method:
Bring one quart of vinegar to boil
ing, add one ounce of strychnine, stir
with a stick until fully dissolved, and
then add six quarts of hot water.
Pour this on twenty pounds of wheat
or corn and allow to stand for about
eighteen hours, or until the solution
is entirely absorbed. but the mass
must be frequently stirred vigorously,
so that it will become uniformly sat
urated with the poison. The grain
should now be spread out to dry,
where it cannot be reached by animals
or children, for you have a highly
poisonous grain.
Nov dissolve six pounds OF sugar
in six quarts of water and boil until
one gallon remains, and then allow
to cool. When cold add one table,
spoon of anis oil (can be had at any
drug store). You now have a thick
syrup, which should be poured over
the nearly dry poisoned grain, and
the whole stirred so as to cover each
grain with a layer of syrup. Allow
the grain to thoroughly dry, stirring
so as to prevent it's sticking in a

His Last Hope Realized.

(From the Sentinel, Gobo, Mont.)
In the first opening Of Oklahoma to
settlers In 1889, the editor Of this pa
per was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one
fine day In April. During his travel
ing about and afterwards his camping
upon his claim. he encountered much
bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very severe
diarrhoea which IL seemed almost i'm
possible to check, and along In June
the case became SO bad he expected to
die. One day one Of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle Of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy ais a last hope. A big dose
was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony,
and in a few minutes the dose was
repeated. The good effect Of the med
icine was soon noticed and within an
hour the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for a fortnight. The one
little bottle worked a complete cure.
and he cannot help but feel grateful.
