United States Marshal s.. J..

placing one cf them in each Of the
federal court districts. Under
this arrangement ene of the depu-
ties will be stationed at Bismarck
permanently. O;her deputies
will also be located at Fargo,
Grand Forks and Minot.
The idea Of placing a deputy
marshal here will meet with the
approval Of other police officials,
as it will help greatly to expe-
dite matters in this section Of
the state. AS elections are con-
Quoted now it will not be neces+
sary to place deputy marehals
at the polls in city elections as
a bluff, as was done in Bismarck
in former years.

A GOOD WAY OF GETTING
RID OF THE GOPHERSl

10 the Leader:
Many farmers have asked me
ah.ut my method CT getting rid
Of the gophers, so l hope the
editor will kindly publish the
following:
First, get a good supply of
strythnine, then have two good
pals, put six quarts Of wheat in
one pail, and in the other empty
the contents of a one-eigalth of
an ounce bottle Of strychnine.
Now pour from two and one half
to three pints of hot, not neces-
sari'y boiling, water on the poi
son and stir it a little while it
is dissolving. Add a cupful Of
good flour slowly and keep STIR
ing till the solution has the ap-
pearance Of milk, then pour this
solution over the wheat and mix
well. After a little while empty
the treated wheat in the other
pail and stir again, every half
hour or so, this last performance
should be repeated until all Of
the solution has been absorbed by
the wheat. I usually start my
mixing early in the morning,
when the prospects are for a
good gopher day" by noon the
poisoned grain will be dry
enough SO that no dirt will stick
to it if thrown on the ground.
In the afternoon you can scatter
your gopher poison where the
gophers are the thickest,. or bett-
er still throw it down their runs,
where a hot sun cannot quickly
dry it out. Be sure and feed
them enough, thsy villa get away
with more than is usually sup
posed, and will eat this mixture
in preference to most anything
else. It will even stop them
cutting down the ripening grain.
To the bigger farms l would
adv Sc using an old barrel churn
for a mixer, and then set the
churn on a stone boat to take it
to the fieAd with. a horse. l did
considerable experimenting with
many different mt thods, but the
above is the best of all.
