OVERRUN BY
PRAIRIE DOGS
Forest Service TO Run Them Qua
of Southwest.

In cooperation with the stockmen
begun an active campaign against prai-
RE dogs on the infested ranges within
the national forests of Arizona and
New Mexico, says the Austin Daily
Statesman. Successful attempts at
poisoning prairie dogs were made last
spring and summer by the forest serv-
ice in other parts of the country. and
this year the work will be carried on
much more extensively.
The poison used to put an end to
these little pests of the western ranges
is prepared by coating wheat with a
/ preparation of strychnine. cyanide of
potassium anise oil and molasses. The
stockmen supply horses and men and
/ the poisoned wheat is given out by the
government officers for distribution
upon ranges within the national forest
areas Each rider carries the wheat
| in tin pail supported by gunny
sack slung across his shoulder One
hand is free for the reins and with the
other the rider uses a teaspoon TO
measure out the poison in bats. and
drop it near the entrance of the holes
The action Of the poison is almost
instantaneous. ! Most Of the prairie
dogs in a town are dead within an
hour or two after the bait is dropped
Early last month $500 pounds OF
wheat was prepared in Albuquerque
N NJ, and shipped to the various ma
tionai forests In Arizona and New
Mexico to be distributed. This guam
tity OF wheat will make approximately
100000 bats, which will clear mp an
area of from $1,000 to 10000 acres al
cost. exclusive OF the labor of dis
tributing it on the ranges OF about one
to- / u cents an acre.
The poison is used to best advan
tage in the early spring, when the dog.

doors from the floor to the ground in
order to keep the wind from blowing
under and lowering the temperature
of the house during the cold weather.
The most economical construction
is house built five feet from the
floor to the cave in front 1.-THE south
side) and from six to eight feet on the
north side. Houses with roof of this
style are naturally very hot in sum
mer, but if built high on the south
side it will be found almost impossible
to get a satisfactory alley in the
building. For this reason a building
that is twelve to fourteen feet wide
and six feet from the floor to the cave
and from eight to nine feet from the
floor to the ridge, leaving the loft free
from floor to roof, is most satisfactory.
A house such as this with capacity
for 200 pairs should cost about $3.50
per pair, including the cost of fly
nests, water fountains, etc.
The partitions between the lofts
should be tightly boarded to the tops

MANY USES OF TISSUE PAPER

Be Applied.

We cannot overestimate the value
of tissue paper if we are of the trav-
cling public. While it is delight
fully careful and neat to own vast
array OF shoe bags, one to the pair,
and bags and slipcovers galore for
parasols, hair brushes and each thing
we want to separate from every 9th
err, the fact remains that they take
up a far too generous proportion of
our trunk space. Tissue paper, which
is a very good substitute, takes up
none of the valuable room and is in
no way open to criticism. It is clean,
white and dainty; quantities of 1t are
available at any time, and there Is
no better material for filling sleeves
and tucked or pulled gowns to keep
them from crushing. Tissue paper
should be crumpled and poked into
ribbon or lace hat bows and among
hat flowers, and should surround the
hat itself to keep it from flattening
against the sides of the box or trunk
lid.
Each pair of dainty gloves and al
neckwear should be separately
wrapped. Layers of it to separate
the varied contents of the trunk viii

ing less difficult.

Panleres and crlnoline.

Silks, satins and broeades are at

and not the soft, clinging fabrics SO
wonderfully adapted to the graceful,
close fitting designs. Materials that
can stand alone, the old-time standard
of excellence, will once again be in
demand, and unless there is a more
concerted plan of action among all
women where taste in dress stands for
authority, there is really grave dan

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story of the great discoveries
or inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find a food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that a food which was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
mere fat makerl was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts. the now famou:
food. It contains the brain and nerve
|
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nut
daily is easily seen in a marked sturdi
ness and marked activity of the brail
and nervous system, making it
pleasure for one to carry on the dali,
duties without fatigue or exhaustion
Grape-Nuts food Is in no sense
stimulant but is simply food whic
renews and replaces the daily vast
of brain and nerves.
Its favour is charming and bein

WHAT DRY
FARMING MEANS
Term, Much Misunderstood. De-
notes Constant Working
of Soil.

In aHl the discussion of the term
dry farming" much misunderstanding
exists. says Review of Reviews. At
the recent congress there was an at
tempt to change the organization
name to Arid Farming Congress In
simple phrase it means a method of
farming that shall not include deep
blowing and frequent pulverizing of
the top soil out of as well as during
the growing season. 1t is based on
the principle that the moisture falling
in rain or snow may sink into the
earth if the soil be loosened. Then
what there shall be kept above that
moistened bed close, fine blanket of
dust that shall prevent evaporation.
If the burrows be turned at right
angles to the prevailing winds of win
ter. the snow may be caught. and If
the pulverizing harrow be sent over
the field after every rain, the seed Is
certain TO receive a maximum amount
OF sustenance. If it does not get
enough in one season 1t may in two,
and a crop every alternate year If a
good one. is ample return on cheap
land. OF course there must be good
soil as a basis-only irrigation can
conquer sand.
To accomplish all this special ma.
chinery has come into use. Horses
could not pull plows biting deep into
the tough centuries-dried soil. so pow
erful engines that roll maiestically
along with two dozen plows en- train
are in their places. Press drills thai
plant the seed deep; pulverizing har
rows that break the surface into pow
aerlike fineness, and other appliances
are used First get your moisture

pairs can be kept together quite sue
cessfully. These should have about
ifty square feet of floor space and
the lofts should be at least six feet
high.
There should also be fly from six
to eight feet high the width of the
loft and from twenty to thirty feet in
length. Some breeders make the fly
high enough so that it will extend over
part of the roof of the pigeon house,
in order that the birds may sit in the
sun. This is not only injurious to the
roof. but encourages the birds to lazy
habits, whereas to get successful re-
suits in breeding they must be kept
working. or at least not encouraged to
idleness.

that pigeons have is the rat, and In
