There ID q plague Of meadow mice,
which ct periodical intervals assumes

them, the farmers are well-nigh help

and too numerous to be destroyed by

which reason it is that the department
Of agriculture is trying to find new
and effective means for wiping them
out wholesale.

grain is hard, they carry quantities of
it into their burrows, to be consumed
at leisure. They dig up squash, melon
and CHER seeds; and another little trick
of theirs is to cut holes in nearly ripe
muskmelons and watermelons, to get
at the seeds.
Yet another rodent nuisance which
does immense damage is the gopher %
little animal, often confused with the
ground squirrel, but which is alto
gether different, living underground
like mole and rarely appearing above
ground. 1t is described by DIR. Mer-
Ram CT the department of agriculture
as one of the most ferocious of living
animals. Apparently it is not afraid
of anything, and it will even attack a
man on slightest provocation and try
to eat him up. Its tail is an organ of
touch, and it can run backwards as
rapidly as forwards. But the most re-
markab!e thing about it. perhaps, is its
battery Of teeth, with which it is able
to make 1920 cuts a minute.
This remarkable creature is found
everywhere in this country west OF
and in, the Mississippi valley, and
south of the Savannah river.
Here again the farmers have beer
making the mistake of killing OF the
weasels and harmless bull snakes,
which are the worst enemies OF the
gophers. It is a favor which the
gophers should highly appreciate, but
for the interests Of agriculture It is ex-
tremely unfortunate. Tillers OF. the

ligent and best-informed people Of
their class in, the world, and it is high
time they should realize the danger Of
interfering with nature too much. Ma
ture makes abundant provision for reg
lulating the numbers Of animals and
preventing their too rapid increase.
But, in their blind efforts to arrange
their friends instead OF their foes

countable for the rodent plaques that
are causing go much anxiety at the
present time.

government experts are looking for a
suitable kind. When it is obtained they
propose to propagate it artificially,
placing cultures of it in the hands of
farmers perhaps, with instructions for
using the stuff in such way as to
make it as detrimental as possible to
the mice.
The meadow mice are especially de-
structive to fruit trees, the bark of
which they know, but they also attack
crops. They cut down the stalks of
grain, spelling in this way several
times as much as they eat, and, when
the grain is harvested and left stand
ing in shocks they take possession Of
the latter, building their nests in them.
In winter they make tunnels under the
snow, carrying on their mischievous
work unobserved.
Now, the chief cause of the mouse
plague seems to be found in the reck-
less killing of Of the natural enemies
of the little rodents, such as foxes,
weasels, owls and hawks. Owls and
hawks, which are among the best
friends Of the farmers, and the deadly
foes Of the mice, are destroyed when
ever possible, bounties for them being
actually offered in many Of the states.
In this way the balance Of nature has
been upset, and hence the enormous
multiplication Of the furry pests that
occurs at intervals. The same remarks,
indeed, apply to other kinds Of gnaw-
ing animals which are at the present
time eating millions Of dollars worth
Of crops in this country annually.
4 In Florida, owing to similar causes,
cotton rats have become vastly de-
structiye. In fact, all along the gulf
coast they swarm. and at times they
multiply to such an extent as to
amount to, a literal plague, like the
voles which from time to time have
oyerrun parts Of Europe. Living un-
der cover Of tall grass and weeds,
around the edges Of cultivated fields
and along the banks Of streams and
bitches, they make bulky nests Of
