To XII SQUIRRELS.

Joe Egan of Arden, Wash, gives the
following cheap and sure way of get
ting rid of squirrels: Get some brim-
stone, melt it in skillet, cut strips
of any kind of rags about two inches
wide and IL inches long, dip them
in the liquid and hang them over a
line made of fine twine, SO that each
strip will be double and stick together.
When dry cut the line between the
strips, fill your pockets with the strips,
take box of matches and go around
to the holes, light your little torch
and put it in the hole, then stop up
the hole.
