UNCLE SAM AFTER y
NEW MEXICO PESTS
Prairie Dogs VIII BE Poisoned i'm
Their Holes on All National
Forests.

At a meeting of the forest users
and forest service officials at Lead
vile, Colo, in the early spring of
1908, the officials were urged to take
steps to rid the ranges of the prairie
dogs, which have become very nu-
merous and which are found to be
doing great damage on the ranges
Last year as a result of this meeting
experiments We're made on three for
ests, the Pike, Leadville and Coche-
topa, which met with such great sue
cess and approval that this year, the
work will be applied on as many for
ests as the funds will allow.
Poison was applied to approximate
ly $4,000 acres, and it is estimated
that from 80 to 9S per cent of the
pests on this area We're destroyed
This range will be ridden over care
fully during the coming season and
where a live" hole is found, a bait
consisting of poisoned wheat will De
applied and in this way the remain
ing dogs will be killed. During the
coming spring the above work is to
be taken up on about ten of the New
Mexico and Arizona forests and prep
arations are being made now to push
the work. Rangers from five forests
are ordered to report in this city the
latter part of this week to be instuct-
ed in the preparation and proper use
of the poison.
The Importance 5f this work viii
be readily seen by those who know of
the destructive powers Of these small
vermints. They not only eat grass
and grain, but destroy the roots and
leave the ground surrounding their
holes bare of any vegetation. Last
fall an inspection was made Of the
worked area and many of the old
holes We're completely filled up and
others were half filled. In a few
places a small but noted improve
ment in the range was observed

DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO
SUE BONDSMEN
OF BEAVtN
Clancy viii File Suit for the
Recovery of County.
and School
Funds.
LARGER AMOUNT
MAY Be INVOLVED
Under the Law Bedven Is F0'tled
to Only S4.50O and SUI.
VIII Probably Ask
for All in
Excess

District Attorney f. w. Clancy
stated today that suit will be filed
probably tomorrow, in the district
court, against o. y. Marion, chief
counsel, and V. p. Edie, l. A. Dye
and j A. Hubbell bondsmen for
John :. Beaven. ex-treasurer. to re-
cover the $500, in round numbers,
which Beaven is holding as fees in
excess Of the amount allowed him by
law II is possible that the amount
sued for will exceed $500 for the
reason that under the law Beaven's
fees cannot be more than $4,000 and
al that he has kept in excess of that
amount has been kept in violation of
the law.
Mr.. Clancy returned from Santa
Fe Saturday and today is preparing
the papers to be filed. He stated
that he had prepared to file suit last
week but found upon further investi-
cation that ii is possible Beaven is
holding even more of the county's
money in excess of his fees than at
first believed. The law provides that
mis- fees shall be two per cent of the
collections but that the fees shall
not amount to more than $4,000.
Taking this into consideration, it is
l"ssihle that suit will be brought
against Beaven's bondsmen to re-
cover the full amount taken by Beav-
en in excess of $4,000.
The papers in the suit were com
rleted this afternoon with the ex-
c,ption of the amount to be sued for.
city Attorney Collins was asked to
furnish figures showing the amount
of school and city funds held by
Epaven and Ter itorial Auditor SAT-
fora has been asked to furnish the
figlrcS relating to the amount OF
county funds. These figures will
probably be submitted in time TO file
the suit tomorrow.

Thistle as stock Food.

Stock of all kinds greatly relish
the plants of the Russian thistle, which
has fairly jumped out of the ground
since the rains. and our Eastern plains
are verdant with it. Why not make
hay of it? SO palatable is the hay to
cattle that they leave green pasture
and break through fences to devour
this obnoxious and outlawed weed if
1t is cut and stacked before the red
dish tinge comes on to the plant,
which occurs about the middle Of July.
MANY OF our Colorado people have
used Russian thistle for forage for
several years, and some of them say
that 1t is as good as alfalfa. In re-
cent analysis the Russian thistle as
saved as follows: Protein. 1885 ether
extract, Sol; ash, y 9S; crude fiber,
2Ol4, and carbohydrates, 1852. All
over Eastern Colorado there Is a la
mentable shortage Of protein feed
stuff. Corn, corn stalks, straw, millet,
Kaiflr and prairie hay are all long on
starchy matter but short on protein.
In the thistle we have crop that
grows on the arid reaches which will
not only yield large amount of for
age, but very palatable one at that,
and a crop that Is rich in the two ele-
ments in which others are deficient

determine the relative gain from
spraying potatoes with bordeaux mix

results from two, three and four ap-
