It was justs ordinary mongrel cur,

theIess it caused more excitement in
one short hour on Jefferson street than
that thoroughfare has enjoyed in many

Shortly after O'Clock Sunday night
citizens in the vicinity and the guar
dams of the peace were startled by a
fusiIade of shots near the Poole home.
With drawn pistols a battalion of po-
lice started for the scene of the con-
flct, followed by a large crowd of
people who, however, halted when told
that mad dog was loose in the neigh
borhood. But the off ola Is were not to
be daunted and soon were taking pot
shots at the ANNA, which aeemed IN
certain which way TO turn.
But the beast had a charmed life and
lodged the flying schrapneI with calm
fortitude. By the time forty or fifty
shots had been sent whistling on their
way, the ammunition began TO run low,
and new means were being sought to
end the miserable existence of tbs
canine.

WAY TO KILL ARMY WORMS
Remedy Given Farmers To Danish
Pest.


Recent newspaper reports of the in
! Vasion Of army or grass worms, appear
to show rather alarming condition of
affairs. r, S, Smith, state EntomaIo-
gist, has found remedy by which
this pest can be poisoned, and he
gives the farmer the following advice:
In the first place, if the worms are
travelling from one field to another
they can be stopped by digging ditch
six or eight inches deep, having the
side of the ditch next the infested field
sIoping IT, SO that the worms will be
sure TO fall into the ditch. This ditch
can be r1ade by blowing deep furrow,
which should be turned away from
the infested field. Ii the worms drop
into this ditch they can be killed by
burning straw over them, and it is also
usually recommended TO dig a hole
about TWO feet deep every five or six
rods, or even less, in the ditch in
which the worms will gather. They can
then be killed by covering with earth.
There worms will seldom cross line
saturated with kerosene oil bat that
treatment would be saaaewhat expen-
sive,
Another feasible remedy is TO spray
a strip of grass, or whatever crops the
worms are feeding on, on the side of
the field towards which the worms are
advancing For this we would use
Paris green at the rate of one pound to
Is or 100 gallons of water. The Paris
green could be busted on she grass in
early morning while the plants are wet
with dew but the liquid spray would
probably be most successful.
