they had no participation in nor a

this end the committee offers "a bill

RATTLESNAKE AS A DIET.
1t In Declared to BE SuccuIent
Addition m tho

Addition to the Table.
There seems to have been an unneces-
sary amount Of excitement aroused by
the fact that rattlesnkaes were served
at a recent supper in this State at which
a party Of automobiles participated.
says the Philadelphia Inquirer The
event would have caused no comment
in the wilds of Pike County. for the rea-
son that where the rattleSnake lives he
is respected. He is not fooled with be-
cause his fangs contain poison. But
when he is once dead he is a succulent
addition to the table.
The point should not be overlooked
that in the last agonies of death the
rattlesnake has Il way of biting himself
committing suicide to end his mis-
cries. In such cases it would be, to say
the least, most imprudent to eat the
pOisOn-inpregnated flesh. But it is sat
isfactOry to know that in such cases
the flesh turns green and can easily be
detected.
The rattlesnake is one of the most
edible of his tribe. IN the south he is
much esteemed as a diet He lives on
squirrels and mice and birds, and is not
tie dangerous creature most persons
imagine. On the contrary. he is the
highest of all snake creatures because
he gives plenty of warning and does not
desire to attack or be attacked. He is
best eaten after he has been dried and
cured, much after the manner of cod
fish. In the south there is a fine way
of smoking rattlesnake flesh, with the
result that when you eat him there is
a sort of smoky. gamy flavor that is at
least enlivening-espe when you
find out what you have been eating.
The snake is not a favOrite with civ
iliZed man because Of a prejudice that
seems to have lasted a long time. But
it is only prejudice so far as the table
is concerned. Rattlesnake stew is one
of the things that adds to the joy of
life. There is an aristocracy about the
rattleSnake that all will appreciate
after they have eaten him. 1t is mere
low-down and ignoble prejudice that
leads people to imagine that this sort
of flesh is discomfting.

CONCERNING KITES.
There Are Sorts Now that Once Were
Never Dreamed OF.

"Who would have thought" said a
man whose children were all boys. 10
New York Sun writer. ''of ever ask
ing mother to rIend a kite?
When | WIS a boy every boy made
his own kites and mended them, if
they needed mending He Whitfield out
his own kite sticks and tied them to-
setner and ran q cord around the ends
Of the sticks TO make the form of the
kite, and then he covered the kite with
paper. which he pasted on. And he
made the paste himself; he got some
-four of his mother and mixed it with
water and cooked it enough on the
kitchen stove to make it sticky.
And when he had got his kite made
he put it on the loops, and then he was
ready for the tail; and here's where
be goes to mother again-hmm, there
was more mother in it even then than
| thought when l began talking-here's
where he goes to mother again for the
stuff for the kite tail, and mother goes
to the rag bag and gets out a nice piece
of old cotton cloth, and we say that's
splendid, and we tear it up into strips
and make the tail and tie it on. and
then we take the kite out and fly it.
But if she dived and smashed her
head on a rock, or if she got caught in
a tree and torn, we didn't call ON moth
er to mend it. We mended it then our
selves. Why? Because those kites that
we made ourselves we always made of
paper, and if they needed recovering
or mending we recovered or mended
them with paper and paste. But while
we still do have kites OF paper and boys
still do make such kites themselves, we
have now also kites made of cloth that
you buy in the stores, and maybe our
boy has got one of these.
a cloth-cOvered kite, box shaped
and made to fly without a tail? My.
What a change that is from the house
kites and Goldfish kites that we used
to make, And When this cloth kite
gets torn the boy doesn't take it and
lay it on the kitchen floor and get the
paste and recover it, or patch it up
himself, but he takes it in to mother
and gets her to sew it up.
My. what change there has been
in kites! But mother is still the same"

KILLING PRAIRIE DOGS.
Uncle Sam This Year Poisoned
1000 O1O of Than

AIONO-OOS O1 AAC-AA-
MercilessIy. Uncle Sam has been on
the warpath during the summer, and
more wholesale murder has been the
result than at any time in the history
Of the country since the ruthless eX-
tinction Of the buffalo. This savage
warfare has not been waged with pow
der and shot, but with subtle poison.
and the victims have not been men or
rattlesnakes, but the pretty and appa-
rently harmless prairie dogs. For years
the prairie dogs have been the pest OF
Western farmers, who have tried, but
ineffectiyely, TO get rid of them. The
Department of Agriculture, quick to
aid the farmer in every possible way,
took a hand in the matter this sum-
mer, and, after trying several other
ways Of humiliation, decided that poi
son was the most practicable means
of Kidding the soil of the pests. with
the result that nearly a million vic
tins fell at the hands Of the official
executioners.

to agriculture. If he chooses a spot
that appears suitable for a pleasant
home, he gathers his kith and kin,
and in a comparatively short time his
tribe has multiplied at compound
rates until solid acres are not COM
modious enough for the family. They
make the soil almost useless. Their
holes are connected by miniature tun-
nels, so that, while the ground may
appear solid, it is in reality unsafe
and dangerous to man and beast.
The death of many riders on the
plains is a silent testimonial to the in
iquity of the prairie dog.
The stockmen of the West urged the
Department of Agriculture to take
some measures to check the increasing
annOyanceS from the dogs, and the re-
lentless warfare followed. Range i'm
provements in national forests is one
of the, chief objects of grazing regula-
ton, and the forest service was
charged with the work of eXtermina-
ton. The first experiments were made
in parts of Leadville and Pike national
forests, where the prairie dogs popu-
lated a territory of 800 square miles.
A dog town of 70 acres was selected
and poison was prepared by coating
wheat with strychnine solution made
alluring by moIasses and anise seed, a
combination which no prairie dog san
resist. This poisoned wheat was placed
at the mouth Of each hole, and the men
soon became SO expert at their work
that they could ride along on horseback
and drop the death dealer with great
rapidity The dogs ravenOusly ate the
poisoned grain and in less than an
hour 80 per cent of them died. The
crafty ones which escaped the first
feast or those who were not hungry
at that time, were killed On the second
trip of the foresters, and in a short
time every dog was dead. Next spldng
the forest service promises to go into
the killing business on a larger scale.
