MUST BE MORE SANITARY

An investigation by the health au-
tborities into the bologna and sausage
making places of this city, has re-
vealed some startling facts and, it Is
said, If the public could look into some
of them, few would eat their products.
The investigation is being made by
Deputy Health Inspectors Frost and
Kerr and they report the conditions in
some of the places to be disgraceful
Several were highly unsanitary, filthy
and their general appearance disgust
ing.
Not alone was the interior of some
of the places unfit for the making or
storage of food, but the meat seemed to
be inferior and it was handled in an
unsanitary manner These conditions
will be reported to the Sanitation Com
mittee Of the Board of Health when it
meets Monday night and an effort will
be made to hurriedly remedy them.

ADVICE TO BERRY GROWERS.
Concluded from Page -

Concluded from Page ID
in which | do not learn something
new
The grower who produces 25O
crates of raspberries to the acre has
Just as much money invested in his
land and pays just as much per acre In
taxes and for the cultivation OF his
land as the grower who produces 400
to 500 crates of the same kind OF ber-
ries to the acre. If by applying $lO
worth of fertilizer to an acre, grow
er can produce an additional sou
worth of berries, it certainly appears
that this is one of the most profitable
investments that could be made. l
am sure that this can be done, and all
it REQUIRES is a little thought and out
lay.
| wish the Tribune would impress
upon the growers the bad results
which follow too deep blowing or cul-
tiyation. The yield can be cut in two
by careless work of this kind, or by
working the soil when it is too wet.
The greatest handicap to the growth
of berries in this valley is the short
tage of moisture during the growing
season. There is only one way by
which we can preserve the moisture,
and that is by shallow cultivation
after each rain, so as to break the
crust formed by the rain. The SOIL
cannot be cultivated too often it the
roots are not disturbed.
Tel the growers not to hill up the
berries, but to practice level cult1va-
ton as the berry cane throws out
new crown each year The higher
canes are hilled up, the higher up the
crown will appear, and therefore the
fewer number of years the cane Will
flourish. This same condition holds
as to asparagus, rhubarb and all such
plants.

FIELD 4 GARDEN
DESTROYING FIELD MICE.

A correspondent from Eastern
Washington whose letter has been
mislaid accidentally, made inquiry IN
regard to the control of field mice
that have done considerable damage
in that locality. During 1907-0S field
mice did great damage in Nevada, be-
coming in fact a plague-the first
mouse plague on record in America.
Prof. Stanley e. Piper was sent to
study the conditions, and his conclu-
sions are given in Farmers Bulletin
No. 352, United States Department of
Agriculture.
BY October, 1907, large part of the
cultivated lands of the Humboldt Val
ley had been overrun. The yield OF
hay had been reduced one-third, po-
tatoes and root crops were badly dam
aged, fields of alfalfa, the chief crop,
were ruined 1t was estimated that
on many ranches there were from 81
600 to 10000 mice per acre Besides
sweeping over four-fifths of the Hum
boldt Valley, the scourge of mice also
did great damage in the Carson Val
ley.
Many ranchmen poisoned the pests
with wheat impregnated with a Solu-
ton of yellow phosphorus in carbon
bisulphide. Six ounces of the liquid
would poison a sack of wheat, 40
pounds of which would be sufficient
for an acre. The best way to use it
was found to be to drop about half
teaspoonful into each mouse burroW.
1t was also broadcasted by a seeder
About 80 per cent of the mice were
killed by this plan
AS phosphorus is a dangerous poison
to handle, strychnine was also tried.
Strychnia sulphate was diluted with
water and used with alta ia hay, green
alfalfa and crushed wheat. The alfal
ia was chopped The poisoned bait
was placed in the runs and in holes
where the mice would eat it. Dry al
falfa required more water than green
alfalfa or wheat, an ounce of strych-
MIA sulphate being used for 80 pounds
of dry alfalfa, As pounds OF green al
falfa or 60 pounds of wheat.
Irrigation was an aid to destroying
the pests and flooding the fields in
winter would force them from their
burrows to die from exposure or be-
come the prey of dogs or poison. 1t
was a so found important to destroy
rank grass, weeds or any other ma
terial that would provide a shelter or
winter cover for the mice.
