Pocket Sophers would be most for
midable animals were they enlarged
to the size of the prehistoric dinosaur.
Their teeth are huge in proportion to
their heads and their bifurcated front
claws are strong, sharp as eagle talons
and extraordinarily long. The gopher
however is little animal: yet because
Of his abundance and exceeding In
dustry, he becomes more than nuis-
ence-a menace in fact-to many farm
ing communities.
Pocket gophers infest all the States
and Territories west of the Mississippi,
and parts of Illinois. Wisconsin, Flor

Mexico. ALI the species live under.
ground in ramifying tunnels, and all
bring to the surface quantities of earth,
which is heaped up in the shape OF
mounds. The habits of these animals
are everywhere much the same.
Throughout their range pocket goph-
ers are very destructive to crops. much
more SO than moles. They eat the roots
of fruit trees and in this way some
times ruin whole orchards. They eat
both root and tops of clover. alfalfa.
grasses, grains, and vegetables, and are
especially harmful to potatoes and

all this, they throw up innumerable

taken from the surface, no disagree
able features were noted. It was found
upon examination that the sink drain
which had been in use for generations
passed close to the we'll and a large
part of the drainage emptied into it.
This organic matter settled to the bot
tom OF the well and became putrid
Whenever the pump was used the
v ater containing this foul matter was
drawn from the lower part OF the well,
while that obtained from the top by
means Of the we'll sweep was above the
contamination and did not give evil
dence Of disagreeable odor or taste,
although 1t contained in solution a
large amount Of filthy matter. The de-
plorable feature Of this situation is
that it requires in the majority of
cases only the exercise Of common
sense in the selection Of point at
which safe we'll may be sunk.

Telephones In the Forests.

The usefulness Of the telephone be-
comes more and more apparent as its
territory of operation is extended into
remote corners of the globe. Nowadays.
the traveller in the heavily wooded sec
tions Of the north country is amazed
when he sees how the march Of pro-
gress has extended in the shape of
telephones in the forest.
Useful as the telephone Is in the city,
where the steps it saves could some
times be compensated for by the use
Of the automobile, the electric car, or
the fast express, it is far more useful
in the forest. where are none of these
convenfences, and where the canoe or
bateau Is the common vehicle of travel.
In logging operations the telephone
now plays most important part. The
dams along the river are built not only
to hold water against time of drought
but also to control the flood, SO that
the river flow may be properly regu-
lated. To this end a considerable crew
of men Is kept at the dams all the time,
to open or close the gates on short
notice. Before the telephones came
into use, instructions to the dam crew
were conveyed up or down the river by
relays of men, stationed at frequent in
tervals along the banks, and the mes
sage was shouted from one to another.
The telephone lines are Deing ex-
tended every year, ana 1t will not be
long before telephones are almost as
common IN the woods as they are in
the city. Recently the telephone has
been called into use to aid the wood
wardens in fire fighting in the northern
and western forests.

Curing Pcrsinlm0ns.

From a report recently prepared by
David G. Fairchild, an explorer OF the
Department Of Agriculture, 1t appears
that persimmons as they are eaten
in Japan are as firm in texture as a
Northern Spy apple, free from as
tringency, and of a delicious havor.
They are not allowed to ripen to the
souashy consistency of the fruit as II
is eaten in America. Investigations
as to Japanese methods of curing per-
simmons show that the Japanese put
the persimmons in sake Japanese
beer casks as soon as the casks are
emptied. The heads OF these casks
are Immediately replaced and the pack
age made air-tight. In from 5 to Is
days, according to weather conditions.
the persimmons are cured and can be
removed and marketed. keeping In a
firm, edible condition for long period.

and bearing striking resemblance to
an ex-president of the United States

Two or three bell boys fell over

astonished clerk. II manage to double

Mr. MacElroy secured a more modest

Strong Light Injurious to Plants.

Strong light has been found in some
instances to hinder the growth Of pol
len tubes of plants. This is thought
to be the reason why tomatoes and
cucumbers do not bear fruit in mid
summer in Arizona. Strong direct sun
light in summer also prevents the
plant leaves from assuming the usual
green color. Thus, strawberry plants
in Arizona are yellow for about three
months in summer even when grown
under shade of cheese cloth. When
grown on the north side Of a dense
shade of sorghum or cotton the plants
remain green and dense all summer
and are probably the most vigorous
in the garden.

or the soil dry, the gases are disslpated
SO rapidly that a large quantity of the
liquid Is required to kill the animals
and the method becomes too expensive.
II, however, the burrows are simple and
and the soil moist, bisulphid may be
used successfully. For pocket gophers
an ounce of the liquid for each burrow
Is sufficient The carbon bisulphid is
poured over a bunch Of cotton, rags. or
other waste material and this quickly
pushed into the burrow, which should
be closed at once.
Co-Operation Necessary.
Any farmer may readily rid his prem
ises Of gophers by the use of poison or
traps. Unless, however, the entire
community unites in active and intelli-
gent cooperation on the destruction of
the animals, the cleared area will be
sooner or later invaded from neighbor-
ing premises, and the work Of destruc-
tion must be repeated. Cooperation
only will effect radical cure, When

Forcing Rhubarb.

Experiments have shown that the
most satisfactory results in cultivating
rhubarb, are attained by growing the
roots from seed and forcing when the
plants are one year old. Drying the
roots has been found to have the same
effect as freezing. Either drying or
freezing serves the same purpose as a
long rest, which is otherwise required.

be given to waste lands along fences,
streams, public highways, and rail-
roads. Such places are favorite haunts
OF the animals, because in them are
found loose, sandy soil, moisture, and
succulent roots for food. 1t is from
such resorts that adjoining farms are
often restocked with pocket gophers.

Trapping Pocket Cophers.
Trapping is a successful method
when followed intelligently and persist
entity. 1t Is especially adapted to small
fields, orchards. and gardens, where
only few of the animals are present;
but in the case of large areas that are
badly infested, the method involves
too much labor.
For trapping, an ordinary No. steel
trap may be employed but there are a
number of special gopher traps on the
market that are better adapted for
general use.
In using the ordinary steel trap, the
first step is to make an opening into
the main tunnel. The trap should then
be sunken so that the jaws are level
with the bottom of the runway and
lightly covered with green clover or
alfalfa or grass, or even loose soil. care
being taken that these do not clog
under the pan, or trigger. No bait Is
required. The holes should be just
large enough to receive the trap and
should be covered SO as almost to ex-
clude the light.

Farmers Swear by Their lIells.

It Is commonly observed that nearly
every farmer believes in the purity
OF his well water, especially II the
well has been in use for enerations.
The fact that his grandfather believed
the water to be pure is suficient evi-
dence for him to defend the well, even
though his family be devastated by
typhoid fever. 1t is sometimes the
case that a well is used even after its
taste and odor ought to be sufficient to
demonstrate that it is polluted. A
notable instance occurred not long
since, in which certain farmer could
not use the water from his well II it
were drawn up by pump, but II

more than 40 per cent. Of the farm
wells so far examined in this State
have been found to be polluted" This
is significant statement made by the
director of a State Board Of Health
laboratory, in which several thousand
helps to explain why the death rate
from typhoid fever Is greater in the
country than in the city.
1t is a popular notion of city folk
that vacation in the country Is a
safeguard against all the diseases to
which the flesh is heir; physicians
patients away from the city. The
country life is unquestionably the ideal
one; the popular cry back to nature"
has a large measure of justification,
yet there are thousands Of people who.
return from such an outing consumed
with typhoid fever. Why should this
be true?
Typhoid an Index to Water Purity.
A century of experience has shown
that the typhoid rate in any place is
q good index OF the purity of the water
supply at that place. Therefore, when
we find that the typhoid rate in the
country is higher in the aggregate than
in the city, 1t can be fairly assumed
that country water supplies are not az
safe as city supplies, and this in spite
of the fact that many of our city
waters are notoriously bad. The states
from which the above mentioned testi-'
mony comes is a typical one so far as
it's proportion Of rural pollution is con-
cerned and that there Is no reason to
believe that If the matter were investi-
gated in other states, the conditions
Of farm wells would be in any degree
superior.
In connection with It's Investigations
OF the character of water supplies, the
United States Geological Survey has
noted repeatedly that typhoid fever is
continuously prevalent In many rural
sections. In some cases this condition
has been maintained for 30 many years
that it is accepted by the communities
as one of the ordinary incidents of life
and becomes matter Of general COM
ment only during periods of especial
Eirulence. The facts are, that there
are comparatively few farm wells To-
Gated at points not subject to local
contamination.
