for distribution. A half teasDoonful |
scattered around the outside of the |
bnrrow should be sufficient for each |
occupied hole. A person must use his |
own judgement as to the most favor
able days for distribution of the pois
oned grain, but it must be remem-
bered that the dogs come out of their
burrows in the winter and early spring
especially on bright sunshiny days.
Then. again, the grain should be dis
tributed late in the day or early in
the morning whenever possible, so
that it may be eaten by the dogs and
not by the birds. This method of kill
ing prairie dogs, if iudciously follow
ed. should not cost more than 10 to
- cents per acre. If less than bush
ell of poisoned grain is desired the
amount of poison, water and grain to
be used should e In the same pro-
portion as they were for the bushel Of
grain.
Instead Of using poisoned grain,
chopped alfalfa hay may be substitute
ed. If this is done, the same procedure
should be followed in poisoning and
distributing the hay as was done with
the grain.
After the great bulk Of the prairie
dogs have been killed off through the
use of poisoned grain, the remainder
may be destroyed by fumigation with
carbon bisulphide. Carbon bisulphide
is a voltile liquid which rapidly loses
strength when exposed to air. 1t
should be handled very carefully, how
ever since it is inflammable and ey-
plosive, and hence a can OF it should
never be opened near fire or lighted
cigar Care should be exercised to
Introduce this material only into holes
that are occupied by dogs, so that
none of the material may be wasted.
A tablespoonful of the bisulphide
should be poured on piece OF horse
manure, corncob, clod of earth or other
material that will absorb the liquid
and this should then be thrown down
into the burrow as far as possible, af
ter which the opening of the burrow
should be closed Immediately. II the
burrow is not opened again from with
in the dog has been killed. To get
the best results from the use OF the
: carbon bisulphide, the same shoule
be used when the ground is moist TO,
at this time there is less danger tina,
t the bisulphide fumes escape into the
,. air.

How TO DESTROY PRAIRIE DOGS
By Fl. C. severn. South Dakota State
College of Agriculture and M. a.

The prairie dog is too we'll known in
South Dakota TO require an EXTENDED
description. Every year numerous re-
quests are received from citizens re-
siding In the western half OF South
Dakota for advice as to the best meth
DDS of handling the prairie dog pest.
While in some instances the annual
loss due to prairie dogs ranges from
30 to 10 per cent of the producing cap
acitv of the infested land in others
The loss is not quite so large, but new
ertheless it is most keeny felt. lhe
damage done consists not only in the
| amount of vegetation eaten, but also
| in that which is covered up with earth
by the dogs as they build up and IN
crease the size of their mounds, and
in the danger to the stock and horses
from stumbling in the holes.
Quite a large number of methods
are practiced at the present time IN
Kidding the farm or ranch OF these AMI
mails. but by far the mast practical
are poisoning supplemented by fuml-
CATION or by fumigation alone The
fumigation method is more expensive
than the poisoning process and should
only be used in wiping out a small
infestation or in killing off those dogs
that have ESCAPED after the poisoning
method has been tried.
The poisoning in order to be mos'
efficient, should be conducted during
winter or early spring, for at this
time the ordinary food OF the dogs
is scarce or even entirely absent
Care should also be taken to distrib
ute the poisoned food only on warn
ldays, preferably after a storm, for j
is on such days during the winter AM
carly spring that the dogs are espee
tally likely to come out of their bun
rows Through the poisoning Pre-
cess alone, at least, so to so per cen
of the animals may be destroyed; tn
remainder must then be destroye
through fumigation.
To prepare the poisoned bait, tn
following directions should be carr
fully observed:
Dissolve ~ ounces of strychin
sulphate in 21a gallons of water thu
is being heated in a closed receptacl
After the poison has been dissolve
add o bushel of grain and allow th
to simmer until the moisture IS e
tirely taken up by the grain, or aftt
the grain has simmered for a time, g
low it to remain over night in the r
ceptacle so that the moisture may
absorbed.

Wild Strawberries.

Strawberries have improved very
much in flavor since the fifteenth
century. Until then the only straw.
berries eaten were wild strawberries
of kind that would never find
market nowadays. BY 1850, however,
they were beginning to be cultivated,
for Holinshed records under that
date a particularly fine crop grown
by the Bishop of Ely in the grounds
Of his palace, now covered by Hatton
Garden.
He quotes the Duke of Gloucester
as saying to the Bishop, "My lord.
you have very good strawberries in
your garden in Hoiburn | require
you to let us have a mess of them"
This speech was copied almost verba--
tim by Shakespeare in Richard H."
Still. even the Bishops fruit would
not appeal much to modern connois-
seurs, for the garden strawberries at
that period were only transplanted
wildlings, the plants being sold at
about I'D. bushel.-London Chron-
icle.
