KILLED 100000 PRAIRIE DOGS
Government Has Waged Relentless
Warfare in Arizona Against
Little Pest.

Washiagton.-Fou hundred thou
sand prairie dogs in the Cochetopa
and Dixie national forests, in Colorado,
and the Tusayan and Coconimo for
ests, in Arizona, have been killed by
the department of agriculture since
its campaign of destruction was de-
clared on the rodents.
In a statement issued here the de-
partment says that this work was done
at cost Of about twelve thousand
dollars which is a mere trifie when
compared with the value IF the
forage upon which the dogs lived.
1t is estimated that the forage
which the rodents devoured would
have been sufficient for about
fifteen thousand five hundred sheep or
about one thousand five hundred head
of cattle, valued at $150,000.
Carbon bisulphide and strychnine
mixed with heavy oats, is the depart
ment's means of getting rid of the
dogs. Ia the Cochetopa forest alone
last year the survey used $4,000 pounds
of oats, 1000 pounds of carbon bi
sulphide and about one thousand eight
hundred ounces of strychnine.
The hides of the prairie dogs are
practically worthless in this country
according to the department. Amerl
can and English furriers secure better
skins from Siberia for five cents
apiece, and glove makers say that the
skins are too small to be worked VI
economically AS a result, the depart
ment says, no market for the skins ha;
been found.

Take Ruckwheat Prize.

Observation-Disclosures farmers are
winning more of the most coveted
awards offered at the national corn
show now being held in Dallas, Tex,
than are the grain growers of any

Although the judging has not as

ability to meet all corners" in the
production of seed grain, and are
making an enviable record in blue
and purple ribbon winning.
Although somewhat handicapped
by a wet and unfavorable season,
they succeeded, the last year, in pro-
ducing plumper, brighter and cleaner
grain than did the competitors who
enjoyed better climatic conditions.
Wisconsin exhibitors have already
won worlds championship on buck
wheat, soy beans and six rowed bar
ley, and grand championship open
to all varieties on ten ears of yellow
dent corn.
In addition to these trophies Wis
consin farmers took grand champion
ships for the northern zone on ten

superior. Through its CONNER
clal club the city of Superior has
gone on record as unalterab1y oppos-
cd to raising the level of Lake Super
lor by means of a power dam in st.
Mary's river at Sault Ste. Marie. The
light may have to be carried to the
floor of congress as it is said that
body favors the proposed project,
says the Superior Telegram.
The seriousness of the matter is
discussed by Capt. E. D. Peck, in
charge Of the United States. engineers
for the. local district. He states:
The lake levels as proposed have no
relation to abnormal conditions of
lake level as produced by barometric
pressure, direction and velocity of.
the wind, but, relate to normal level
only
This means, that In addition to
having the level of the lake raised
two feet for ffVesmonths of the. year,
there would still remain to be con-,
sidered the additional raise in the
harbor water levels caused by the
conditions alluded to by Capt. Peck.
At the present time during north
east gale, the water level in the har-
Dor is frequently as much as eigh-
teen inches, and even more, above
the normal level.
With the normal level two feet
higher to begin with, and this I'M
usual height caused by the wind driv-
ing the water from the lake into the
harbor the level would be nearly four
feet higher than the present normal
level This would be sufficient to in
undate practically every dock on the
Superior and Duluth water front.

manage to live through the bitterest
weather, and think the nearer the
domestic bird is left to himself, the
better he will do.
A close house is not so good for
chickens as one where there is plenty
of ventilation. OF course, would
not want to expose any bird to wind
that would freeze combs and feet, but
the open shelter seems to be enough
to keep the turkeys from suffering any
such troubles from exposure.
From one end of the year to the
other my turkeys roost in the open.
In the spring they desert the shed as
soon as the weather moderates, and
take to the trees and higher fences.
They lay well, and start nesting at
once. lose few young ones when
they get out in the wet fields, but
most of them grow up hardy and Wig
orous.
In nearly every case where know
of turkeys becoming unthrifty and dy-
ing off, they have been kept housed
up through the winter and most Of the
summer. The confinement is hard on
them. They are naturally bird of
the open.
have had few broods of turkeys
Matched under the Plymouth Rock or
Brahma hens that liked to roost in
the inclosed shelters. They never did
very much good. Their plumage was
never bright and clean looking, and
their wattles and heads always looked
sort of bloodless and unhealthy. It
was easy to pick them out from birds
that grew up and roasted out of doors.
The turkey is only little way re-
moved from his wild forbears. He is
not nearly so domesticated as tho
chicken. The nearer the turkey is
permitted to live to nature, the bet
ter he will grow, and the more money
he will be worth when cooped for the
winter markets.
