Judge Homer Merrill who has
been critically i'll for several weeks
has returned to the city and his
many friends are glad to e him
back again.
The Denver physicians say that
it will be n long time before he
will be completely recovered from
his recent illness, but that he will
stand a much better chance here
at home among his friends and in

1t is earnestly hoped, however,
that he will recover in a much
shorter time than is anticipated by
his medical advisors.-Rawlins

ing over the prospect of starting a
station here for the collection OF
and delivery of milk, butter and
cream. They are going to open
the Encampment creamery and

Some Arbor Day Duties

The idea of using Arbor Day as
an annual cleaning up" day is
not a new one. Many towns have
taken advantage of this day to i'm
press upon the public mind a les
son of civic improvement, by en-
listing the school children after
the Arbor Day exercises have
been observed, in an enthusiastic
raid against dirt and disorder.
This is very properly done, since
Aroor Day is not a legal holiday,
but one which may be granted by
school boards for identifying pur-
poses.
Arbor day is Cleanup day"
Rubbish from Yards and alleys.
Danish the baling wire.
Organize an anti-can brigade.
Raise banners of n~eatness.
Destroy old rags and paper.
Act promptly and cheerfully.
Your example will help others.

Encampment Creamery to Open

The Encampment creamery will
be open for business and be pre-
pared to receive milk and cream
next Wednesday, the 18th. Many
of the ranchman have agreed to
furnish supplies for that institu-
ton, and more are solicited. The
business will not warrant putting
out a team to collect supplies at
present, so farmers will. have to
bring them in themselves. A plan
of cooperation has been suggested
and is being arranged among the
ranchmen in some sections where
by N will bring in the cream
once or twice a week from his
neighhors. By a general extern
sion of this plan all over the valley
the deliveries can be made With
very little trouble on expense to
anyone. Later. if business war
rants, the creamery will send out a
team of it's own.
This is an enterprise of much
Importance to ranchmen and if
properly assisted can be made a
source of profit making for all
concerned. The price that will be
paid for butter fat next week will
be 239 cents per pound -Encamp-
ment Herald.

The Annual Public Nuisance

With the advent of spring comes
the annual public nuisance-the
book agent and travelling vender OF
many things. The public has to
endure many ills, but that of the
book or map agent, who ONE to
your front door and pushes his
way in without an invitation. and
won't take no for an answer when
he urges you to buy his books and
maps, is probably the worst. He
comes with the bluebirds and is a
sure sign that spring has come.
This annual annoyance has made
his appearance. He will hunt
you out and bother you to distrac-
ton. He is not easily rebuffed.
He has a cuticle like tanned leather
If you do not want his goods and
refuse them he will probably in
suit you or at least make rude re-
marks. His Fostering is very ir-
ritating and begets a hatred for his
kind that extends to even the DC
casional worthy person who comes
with a real mission. Some day we
will have a law against the annoy
ances of the book pedlar.

A Delightful Custom

The attention of the girls of
Saratoga is called to the old fash
Toned but beautiful custom of hang
ing May baskets on the doors of
trends and neighbors on the even.
ing of the first of May. In this
altitude wild flowers may be very
scarce at that time, but paper flow
ers will do quite as well, as it is
the kindly act of circumference
that makes the custom a delight
full one The basket may be quite
fancy and afford an opportunity
for the ingenuity and skill of small
fingers in fashioping them into
beautiful shapes. The baskets
are usually hung late in the even
ing, with a ring at the door bell or
a sharp rap on the door to call the
of the people of the house.
If the girls will try this they will
find it affords a very delightful
of amusement, for there are
few pleasanter ways of remember
ing kind friends than by hanging
a dainty basket of flowers on their
door knobs.

A Young C~artoonist

Garrett, the Youngest SOL of

has shown marked ability in this
line in his school work and he ex-
cells both in originality and in I'M

with six months or a years special
instruction in some good studio
Garrett would be able to do news
paper cartoon work that would do
credit to some Of the older men at

Prairie Dog and Ground
Squirrel Nuisance
Communicated J

If a census of the. prairie dog
and ground squirrel population
could be taken there is no doubi
but that their numbers would run
we'll up into the milIions. One
can ride any where in the valley
and see them in large numbers.
1t is estimated by experts of the
Department of Agriculture that
81 prairie dogs eat as much grass
as a sheep and 256 Of them clean
up as much as a COW. One can
easily figure up how much they
decrease the carrying capacity of
both ranch and range for stock.
When grain and alfalfa are
planted they move in and make
their home in the vicinity of the
cultivated lands and the damage
they do is very heavy. 1t is high
time that a campaign was started
to destroy them. LIE all the ranch.
e would devote a little time and
money in putting out poisoned
grain, much good would be accom-
plished and would be time and
money well spent. If they are al
lowed to increase unmulested it
will be but a short time until they
will absorb all the profits of farm
ing. They are easily poisoned.
One ounce of strychnine sulphate
Dissolved in warm water, and that
added to as much water as a bush
ell Of grain will soak up, (wheat or
barley is the best)will make 9
deadly dose for them. A table
spoonful of the grain put at each
dog hole will do the business for
most of them.
The government has gotten out
a formula for poisoning dogs. Be-
sides the strychnine they have adj
ded an ounce of cyanide of potas-
SUM, a most deadly poison, which
must be handled with great care.
The writer has had great success
with strychnine and water and
found that one ounce of it to a
bushel ofgrain quite deadly enough
for the purpose. Care must be
used to keep the poisoned grain
away from domestic animals, and
where chickens and children can
not get to it. AS man is fast de-
stroying the natural enemies of
the dogs and squirrels, the coyotes
hawks and badgers, it is up to
him to get busy and destroy these
rodents if he wishes 10 enjoy the
fruits of his labors. Spring is the
best time TO get after them before
their natural feed becomes too
plenty. With SO much open range
land in the valley it will be impos-
sible to exterminate them, but
they can be kept down on the
ranches 30 the damages will be
small, if q little time is devoted to
their destruction each spring with
poisoned grain. Ranchman
