Dr. wyman adds that since September.
1901. his men have caught and killed 992..
e47 rats and squirrels, OF which number
4c4 rats and 412 squirrels have been found
infected with plague. This campaign had
cost the government OF the United States
up to the 31st of last December the sum
of $795.64S. which includes the expendi-
lures for trapping and killing rats. the
laboratory examinations OF rats captured.
the determination OF squirrels, the IN
spection Of insanitary conditions. the
fumigation of outgoing vessels. ana
reconnaissance work In the states bor-
dering on California in order to deter
mine whether plague infection had spread
to those states. Thus far, DR.. Wymao
says, no evidences OF infection have been
found outside of the state Of California
In addition to the expenditures OF the
federal government. not less than halt
million dollars have been expended by
state. county and municipal authorities
for the same purpose. and perhaps es
much more by individuals IN their enorts
to exterminate squirrels.
During the five months OF this year
400 squirrels infected with the plague
have been found in five counties. All OF
them have been caught by government
themselves have not been examined. The
work has been so thorough" said Surgeon
General Wyman, that broad free
squirrel zone has been mainfaineo around
the cities of San Francisco. Oakland. Ber-
kelley and Alameda to prevent the possible
reinfection Of the rats OF those cities
through coming In contact With PLAGUE
infected squirrels in the outlying districts
Valuable Precaution.
That the maintenance Of these squirrel
free zones - q valuable precaution 10
evidenced by the fact that no rat tnfec-
ton has been found In any Of the cities
thus protected since December I. 1905.
In this work around the cities much val
liable information regarding the aseoc1-
alton OF rats and squirrels has been Sc
cured. Opportunity has been Afforded for
instructing new employees In the best
methods OF hunting. trapping and poison
ing. and in the maintenance OF camps
and their sanitation. Farmers ana ranch
owners and citisens have frequently vtsat-
ed these camps for the purpose OF betng

Losses Aggregate Millions.

It is estimated that the loss to A4ricul-
ture in England from the ravages Of rats
amounts annually to at least $1,000 900.

terminated the value OF the imports of
grain could be diminished $25.Oo0 900.

ger from plaques brought In by rats on

rats. and from four to fve thousand are
destroyed every month.

lection Of several ports Of the United

ground squirrels
The ground squirrel has been regarded
rs q public nuisance ever since the first
attempts at agriculture. He was hero

'.The animals are diurnal. and In the
larger colonies hundreds may bs seen al

ground. some rolling In the dust. some
basking In the sunshine and some stand
ing erect on their launches. gazing over
the country or biting or the stems OF

storehouses for future use.
Ground squirrels are good to eat.' DR..
Merriam says. land few years ago were
regularly sold IN the San Francisco mar
kets. They have always been prfzed by
the Indians who roast them over Goals
and devour them eagerly. Old animals
at times have q rather strong flavor, but
the young are usually excellent. Re-
Gently, however. since the squirrels have
been found to be carriers OF plague, the
public health and marine hospital serv-
Ice has warned the public Of the danger
OF eating and handling the animals.
Tn places where ground squirrels are
abundant over considerable areas" DR..
Merriam says, the simplest. most ef-
fective and feast expensive way to de-
stroy them Is by the use Of grain poisoned
by strychnine. Phosphorus and cyanide
Of potassium. owing to tho great danger
attending their use, are not recommended,
especially since they are not more effec-
tive than strychninc. In poisoning with
strychnine. the grain recommended for
bait is barley. Compared with wheat, 1t
is usually more attractive to the squir-
rels and 10 far less likely to be eaten
by birds"
