PRAIRIE DOG PoisoN.

One of the most annoying things to
farmers of northwest Kansas IS the prai-
RE dog. The prairie dog towns are
not very numerous, but wherever they
exist near to land devoted 70 agricul-
ture they generally do great damage.
Not only do they destroy crops but they
also render the land covered BY their
villages unfit even for grazing purposes.
Since this Is the case, every farmer
and cattleman should endeavor to clear
out the pests from their territory, and a
little care in feeding the enemy prepar-
ed poison viii do the work Press Bull
letin No. 80, issued BY the experiment

lege at Manhattan, says IN part:

made provision for continuing the work
of preparing and distributing poison
from the college at cost of the materials
contained IN It. During the past few
years, since January !, 1902, the de-
mand for poison has continued steady,
and large quantities have been sold, es-
PeciaIly for the destruction of prairie
dogs, and pocket gophers. Up to the
present time we have consumed about
200 pounds of strychnine and over a
half ton Of potassium cyanide in man
ufacturing the poison. From 6OO, 600
TO 700, 900 acres of land, formerly in
tested with prairie dogs, have been en-
tirely reclaimed, while a partial destruct-
ion Of them has been accomplished over
a much larger area.
For prairie dogs-The poison is put
up in half-gaIlon cans. They have la
bels which describe the contents, name
the ingredients, the quantity of each,
the manner of preparing. and also give
careful directions for using.
1.-The strychnine in this poison is not
in solution, but IS held in suspension IN
the syrup. 1t settles to the bottom of
the can, after the manner of lead IN or
binary mixed paints. A common error
in using It is to pour out a portion of
the liquid without first having shaken
or stirred It thoroughly. When thus
used, the top part of the liquid Is not
sufficiently poisonous to kill all the an
finals that eat of It. If It Is first stirred
or thoroughly shaken, a part Of the
can may be used as successfully as the
whole OF it.
we recommend that the area Of
dog town to be poisoned be gone over
very carefully, placing the bait at the
outside of all occupied burrows, as d.
rected. If some of the animals escape
the first application, a change of bait to
kafir-COrrs, broken corr OF corn meal IS
recommended for those that remain
If after a second application any ami
mails, still remain, carbon bisulPhide
will probably be The most effective
means Of destroying the remnant.

delight to have a chat with the quaint
and lovely village OF East Killinsly, Con-
necticut, which yesterday was the scene
OF an "Old Home day" celebration. re-
plete with all the charms that such re-
unions can ever lay claim 10.
Under the auspices OF the Agents, Su-
perintendents' and Overseers' association
the exercises OF the day were conducted
without hitch and the many persons
journeying TO Killingly for the celebra-
sion cannot but have found true pleasure
in the opportunity for renewing old ac-
quaintances and forming new ones and in
the excellent program which was pro-
vided for the occasion.
Senator Nelson w. Adrch. probably
Killinsly's most famous son, was the spe-
cial guest OF honor, and festivities opened
on his arrival from Providence In the
special car Oregon"
The early portion OF the day was de-
voted 10 formal proceedings, under charge
OF President Ira j. Martin. An address
OF welcome was delivered BY Hon. Albert
w. Queenslitt, and being for the most
part Of a reminiscent nature was greatly
enioyed by all. Then followed routine
business during which the association
elected officers for the ensuing year as
follows: President. Ira j. Martin OF Paw

must never be confounded with the pop

Killingly folks understand clambake
Following the bake the afternoon exer-
cises were held I'm the First Baptist church
and consisted chiefly OF the address Of
the day delivered by Senator Aldrich.
Rhode Islands famous senator was
greeted with tremendous applause. which
was only exceeded by that which came at
the conclusion OF his address. Senator
Aldrich held the close attention Of his
auditors throughout the course Of his re-
marks and his "reminiscences of his XIII
