POCKET GOPHER.

northward into British America, anoth-
er from east central Mexico nOrthward
through New Mexico, western Texas,
a third is restricted to two large and
widely separated districts in the Unit
ed States, One of these districts in
cludes portions of Alabama, Georgia
and Florida, while the other includes
much Of the great low plain of the Mis-
SiSsippi valley and extends from the
Rio Grande nOrthward to southern Min
nesota and Wisconsin and from eastern
Illinois westward into Colorado and
eastern Wyoming.
The pocket gophers all have the ex-
terual pouches, strong lower jaws, fore
feet strongly developed for digging and
very small eyes and ears.
The prairie pocket gopher is abun-
dant in the eastern part of the state
and is the most formidable mammalian
pest with which Kansas farmers have
TO deal. Its damage to the alfalfa
growers of the state alone amounts to
more than 100000 yearly. This dam
age is not directly in the destruction Of
the alfalfa plant so much as it Is in the
interference with the work of cutting
the crop and the loss by reason Of hav-
ing to cut the plant far above the
ground to avoid running into the
mounds thrown up by the gophers.
This loss amounts to about one-tenth
of the entire crop. Besides the damage
TO alfalfa, there is similar one to clo-
yer, timothy and native meadows and
the direct destruction of vegetable gar
dens and other crops. This species does
similar damage to crops in Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, the Dako-
tas, Nebraska and Missouri, q section
of the most fertile land In the entire
country.
The prairie gopher is Of dark liver
color, lighter on the under part, and
has pure white feet, with longer claws
than any other species.
Pocket gophers are easily poisoned. |
They are very fond of common pota- I
toes, sweet potatoes, apples, raisins |
and prunes. The presence Of strych
nine, arsenic or other poisons does not !
seem to deter them from eating the
food but if the poison is sweetened
they seem to eat it more readily. In
summer it may be desirable to take
the trouble to sweeten the poison, but |
In the fall and early spring it does
not seem worth while to do this.
A tool devised for the purpose of in

burrow is spade handle shod with

HANDY SEED SOWING DEVICE.

OF vegetable seeds, easily transferred
from warm to cooler conditions and in
case Of damplng off no great loss is
incurred.
When sowing the seed the fat Is
loosely filed with soil to which a
good proportion Of sand has been add
ed and leveled off with one sweep
with the back of the press board. The
soil Is then pressed down one-half
inch, as indicated by the fit of the
pressboard in width to the fat. The
level stick is then used This fits the
fiat the long way and makes a drill,
the bevel edge being greater than the
depth Of the press board. The seed is
sowed in these drills, which can be
quite close together when the soil is
light In texture, covering lightly with
soil and repeating the pressing with
the board. One OF the advantages in
sowing all seed at the same depth and
In transplantlng from rows ls that the
operator can remove the seedlings

each year when We consider what the
hog has to eat. Out in the alfalfa coun-
try where grass and water are the hog
feed there is very little loss Of hogs.

Hickman, Red Wonder, Fulcaster, Gyp-
sy, Valley, Deltz, CurrellNs Prolific, Per-
lection, Niger and Lebanon.
Ranking the several varieties as to
yield, weight per bushel and protein
content, giving 90 points to yield, 25
points to weight per bushel and ID
points to protein content, the ten varie-
ties scoring highest are Gypsy, Early
Ripe, Niger, Poole, Mealy, CurrelPs
Prolific, Valley, Red Wonder, Demo
crat and Fulcaster. 1t is believed that
the first four varieties of this list will
prove quite generally satisfactory over
the state. While the Mealy does very
well upon rather thin upland, it is quite
disappointing upon the richer soils and
especially the bottom lands of the
state. Strong In yield, it has a greater
tendency to shrivel than many varle-
ties.
Experiments in thick and thin seed
ing, covering eleven years work, indi-
cate that eight to ten pecks Of seed per
acre will give better results than less
amount Of seed upon the somewhat
worn lands Of the state.
In normal seasons Sept. 20 to % has
proved the most satisfactory date for
seeding in the latitude of Wooster, with
Sept. Is next highest in yield.
Experiments extending over a series
of thirteen years have failed to show
en- the average any grain from the
use of seed from which the small
and light grains have been removed
by use Of the tanning mill, although
three seasons out of the thirteen the
first grade gave largest yields.
In view of the possibility of an IN
favorable season and of the fact that
a more uniform seeding can be Sc
cured by removing the shrunken,
broken and extremely small grains,

witness, 'but, If you know anything
of law, you must know that you can
not sentence me unless you obtain the

This was true, and the judge hur-

with him, and that, consequently, he
need not consider himself under ar
