GOPHERS KILLED BY GAS.
New and Successful Means of Getting
Rid of the Farmers Pests
Tested In Nebraska

The farmers in the vicinity of louis
vile, Neb., are very much interested
in experiments now being made by the
Nebraska experiment station on the
farm of George H. Holdrege at Louis
vile Tor the determination of gophers
by the aid of Pincht gas. The NeDras-
ka experiment station, having made
successful tests of this new discovery
in the western part of the state on
prairie dogs, is now experimenting
with the ground or pocket gopher,
which has proven very destructive to
orchards and meadow lands in this
part sof the state. The first expert
ments were made by Mr. Perrin, ex-
pertinent station farmer, and Prof E.
A. Burnet, animal husbandman of the
same institution, and at least 50 rer
cent of the gophers were killed in
holes where the gas was applied
Pincht gas is said to be inexpensive,
the cost Of Kidding farms of prairie
dogs being estimated at about 2 cents
per acre. 1t is the refuse from the
manufacture of Pincht gas and is in
liquid form. Any absorbing article
may be soaked in the fluid and then
put in the hole and the earth replaced.
The fumes of the gas penetrate
through the hole and the animal is
killed of asphyxiation.

POULTRY FOR MARKET.
fore Shipping 20 BE Decided
by Local Demands.

The proper way to kill all kinds of
poultry is by opening the veins of the
neck or by bleeding in the mouth. Hang
by the feet until the blood is drained out
One may scald chickens for home trade,
but it is best to dry-pick them for ship
ment. When scalding, do not immerse
the head. This spoils the appearance
Of the eyes and comb and gives the buy
er the impression the chicken has been
diseased. If the water is too hot that
is used for scalding it will cause the
skin to be tender and break easily All
pin feathers should be removed clearly
and neatly. Plump by dipping for
/ several seconds into water near the boil
! ing point; then at once into cold water
Always dry-pick turkeys. They look
better when dry-picked and command
better prices than when scalded To dry
| pick turkeys or chickens properly the
work should be done while the bodies
are warm. 1t is easier to pluck them
while warm. Opinions differ regarding
| the practice of drawing poultry before
marketing. When shipping one must
suit the demands of the market Our
home trade prefers the crop and intes-
tines removed. They tell us the shipped
fowls they buy that have not been drawn
have strong intestinal flavor some
times. We have made a few expert
ments along this line, and we find that
fowls that are drawn as soon as possible
after being killed keep longer under the
same conditions than those not drawn.
When the crop and intestines are not
to be removed it is important to let
the birds fast for "a hours to empty them
of food that might ferment and spoil
the fowls.
One who has never dressed and packed
poultry for shipment has many things
to learn. The head and feet must not
be removed. Turkeys should have the
feathers left on the neck for about three
inches from the head; also a few feath-
ers on the tail and tips of the wings.
Ducks and geese should be scalded when
dressing for market, and we find it takes
longer for the water to penetrate and
/ loosen the feathers than it does for other
! kinds of poultry. Leave feathers on
the head and for two or three inches on
the neck.-Mrs. Frank Wood, in n Y.

BEES THAT DON'T SWARM.
Italian and Her stock Is Equal
ly Home-LOving.

Recently we were informed that in
Cuba had been discovered a stingless
bee. Now comes a man who claims to
have swarmless bee. Writing to the
American Bee Journal, he says:
So much has been said and written
about the desirability of non-swarming
bees that thought perhaps few words
from me would be acceptable, as | have
had some experience in that line, and
am convinced that l have got a non
swarming variety of bees. Why do |
think so? Because they answer the de-
scription as given by nearly all the
writers on the subject, namely. they do
not swarm; but they do give me surplus
honey every year. | can't take credit
for better management, for l manage
just as all prominent writers say we
should manage. There is plenty of
room in the brood-chamber for the
queen to lay, plenty Of ventilation when
weather is warm, and | extract when
ever the bees begin to seal the honey in
the super, so the management is moth
ing unusual. Yet | have not had a swarm
issue in eight years.
l have five colonies back of my home,
and my lot is 80 feet wide, with
neighbors on both sides. So a swarm
could not very well get out without be-
ing seen, and my queens wings are
clipped; that is, l clip one wing quite
short
The original queen was a gold-dust
Italian, and the ones l now have are
of her stock. l am not selling queens.
but do think have a stock that won't
swarm if given fairly good manage

The bottom should be constructed of
Stats somewhat closer together than
the sides and ends, so that the drop

should be placed under roofs to shed
