Destruction by Gophers.

The amount Of damage to farm
crops by these little pests is very
great. II is estimated that In 1901 the
damage to the alfalfa growers Of Kan.
sas from the ravages Of the pocket
gopher was 100000. Grass, small
grain. corn. vegetables. ETC.. suffer
largely from gophers. Their damage
is Of two.fold character In that they
not only destroy the growing grain.
but throw up little hounds of dirt in
the fields TO interfere with cutting the
crops. The gophers also tramp down
and destroy each season a large
amount of grain. and It may be safely
said that In North Dakota the damage
to farm crops In the aggregate is
greater than the estimated damage 10
the alfalfa growers of Kansas.-Kan.

We forwarded the insect to the
Kentucky Experiment Station and re-
ceived the following reply:
To the Farmers Review:-The In.
sect enclosed with the communication
from Mr.. Aberli IL q small beetle
about onefourth inch long. black.
with a gray area at the bases OF the
front wings. II II well known every.
where as the Larder Beetle (Dermes.
tes lardarius), and feeds upon dead
animal matter OF various sorts. II Is
at times very destructive to preserved
skins, ard attacks hams as noted by
your correspondent. The young is not
a skipper however. but q rather
hairy worm that can creep. but never
leaps. These worms commonly live
on the outside Of preserved meat, but
penetrate II when ready to become
pupae. The adult beetles enter dwell
ings in the spring. and then place
their eggs on anything that will AFFORD
food to their young. They may be
kept out by the use of screens. such
as are used for flies and mosquitoes
But once on meat they should he re-
moved by trimming away the infested
parts. and then putting the meat
where the adults cannot get to It.

siblo to rid objects Of the insects by

Keeping Dirt Out OF MIX.
The greatest Of efforts should be
put forth to keep dirt out OF milk,
in the milking; for after II is once
In, removal in toto Is absolutely i'm
possible. In our sanitary milk dai.
ries. covered milk pals are being
quite largely used. In a test at the
Storrs Station II was found that milk
drawn into such q pail was cleaner
without being strained than milk
drawn into an open pail and after.
wards strained. In one test the
amount OF dirt in the milk where q
covered pail was used was 81 per
cent of the amount. where the milk
was drawn into an open pail. When
the latter milk was strained less than
half OF the dirt was removed, II be-
Ing estimated that 63 per cent re-
mained. This was 16 per cent more
than the total dirt In the other milk.
When the latter was strained the
amount would be still further re-
duced. When milk is drawn into an
open pail a very large number of
acid ferments get In from the air.
The strainer removes few OF these.
above only n per cent Of these acid
ferment bacteria could be removed
by the strainer. But acid ferments
are not harmful and their exclusion
Is Of not much moment. What we do
need to keep out OF the milk is the
whole array Of disease producing
germs, which SO often thrive In the
filth Of the stables. We would advise
the use OF the partly covered pail in
all milking. as thereby the exclusion
OF much undesirable matter from the
milk Is certain.

The BROKEN GUITAR.

In the dust of lone corner lying.
Where letters are piled by the wall:
Where no sound save of echoes replying
Comes ever from garnet or hall:
And where light through no easement
can fall,
Not even the CLEAN of a star,
Remote and UNDECIDED by all.
Is a ribbonless, broken guitar.
At dusk when the sunset Is dying,
The crickets. wee sen'tinels. call.
Like sentries their challenges crying,
Shrlil piping from crdvices SMALL
And the wind from the poplar trees tall
Creaks doors that are standing ajar.
While fading in twilight's dim pail
Is a ribbonless, broken guitar.
Where now Is the bold lover signing
Who danced long ago at the ball,
With his mistress. and brooked no deny
ing
A kiss as he folded her shawl?
His love-letter here-'tis a scrawl-
What shadows we vain mortals are.
Since all that exists to recall
Is a ribbonless, broken guitar.
Nay, time held them both In his thrall
Through days that have faded afar;
And yet there is left after all
But ribbonless, broken guitar.
