To Get Rid Of Gronndhocs.

The grounding, or woodchuck, can
be easily trapped at the mouth OF his
burrow. or ne can be easily killed by
using bisulSde of carbon. the liquid
being poured on a handful of any ab-
sorbent material and pushed down
the burrow. closing all openings.
They usually have two or more open
ings to the burrows. The yapor that
comes from the bisulfde of carbon is
heavier than air and will settle TO the
bottom, killing all that are present.

FALL Pigs For Snrinc Niarket.

220 pounds on foot, but l think about
200 pounds would have been about

four days old when butchered, and l
consider 200 pounds for summer pigs

OF course, there are lots of winters
more severe and harder on stock than
last winter was. but believe it was
as cold as sixteen degrees below zero.

In short, during the seven year
and three months there has
been a net surplus of nearly one
hundred millions of receipts ov-
er expenditures, a reduction of
the Understanding debt by nine
ty millions, in spite of the ex-
traordinary expense of the Pan
anna canal, and a saving of near
ly nine millions on the annual in
terest charge. This is an exceed
ing y satisfactory showing, es-
pecially in view of the fact that
during this period the nation
has never hesitated to undertake
any expenditure that it regarded
as necessary. There have been
no new taxes, and no increases
OF taxes; on the contrary some
taxes have been taken off; there
has been a reduction of taxation.
