DAMAGE BY POCKET GoPHERs
Little Animals Arc Very Destructive
to Orchard and Nursery Stock and
to Garden Truck. ~

prepared by the United States Depart
r ment Of Agriculture)
4, According to the biological survey
of the department of agriculture, the
pocket gophers are very destructive
to orchard and nursery stock. and to
garden produce. Apricot trees six
inches in diameter have been de-
stroyed by the gopher. In one orchard
In California alone an assistant OF the
survey counted seven trees that had
been killed by gophers. The ranch
man did not seem to know what was
the trouble, but thought it was due to
some blight. A, gopher was seen bor-
ing under one of the trees and later
on was caught in trap. One of the
greatest enemies Of the gopher is the
barn owl. One-half bushel Of the re
mains Of gophers was found near the
nest Of an owl Of this species, and yet
almost every ranchman would shoot
an owl at sight. The survey is trying
to educate them to the value Of owls.
5 The best method OF killing the pock-
ct gopher is to destroy them by the
use Of poison mixed with chopped
sweet potatoes. The potatoes are
very acceptable to the gopher owing
to the fact that they keep we'll under
ground. In one experiment. Of 20 Diff
ferent runways, dead gophers were
found In 10. and in the twentieth the
potato had been stored up BY the go
pher for a future meal.

Napoleon's Victory at Brlenns.

Napo1eon's Victory at 6rIenne.
One hundred years ago Napoleon
met the army Of the allies at Brienne,
village in northeastern France, and
was victorious after q keenly contest
ed battle. The emperor had left Paris
only two days before. prepared to
make a last desperate effort to halt
the advance of the enemy on the
French capital and thereby save his
tottering throne. The allied Russian
and Prussian armies were In command
Of Marshal Butcher. Napoleon's forces
were in a deplorable condition. At
Brienne. 1t is true, his old soldiers
displayed prodigies of courage in his
name and under his orders, but the
raw conscripts were discontinued and
many Of them deserted their colors.
Napoleon owed his victory chiefly. to
the fact that he came up to Butcher
when the latter was separated from
. part Of his forces. Prince Schwartz
zenberg, in command of the Austrian
forces, Immediately set out for the
purpose Of supporting the Prussians,
and the combined armies of the o..
lies recommended their advance on

ERRORS in MANAGING SOILS
Soil AcIdity Is Responsible In Many,
Instances for Failure Of Seeding
... Of Alfalfa and Glover. lg.E

To be careless in the treatment OF
the soil is as fatal to profitable agri-
culture as to be Indifferent in the care
of live stock upon the farm, writes A.
r. Whitson, chief of the State Labora-
tory, established by the last legisla-
ture to aid Wisconsin farmers. b
We seem content to stop with the
knowledge that there is som sthing de-
cidedly wrong with our fields. We
know that at one time they yielded
much better crops, but we willingly
rest with the. conclusion that they. are
wearing OUT Large areas of soils
even in this state are acid, and, as a
consequence will not yield as plent1.
fully as they should. We have to de-
termine by means Of very simple test
whether or not our fields are acid, and
if SO, apply known and dependable
remedy. & r. ~ " ~
When farmer finds that he cannot
get good stand Of thrifty clover on
his land, when he sees that certain
weeds, such as corn spurry and sheep
sorrel, grow readily in his fields, he
could, by obtaining small quantity Of
blue lltmus paper at his drug store,
easily test his own soil to find ii it is
acid. Soil acidity is responsible, in
many instances, for the failure of seed
ing Of alfalfa and clover.
Growing in soils well supplied with
lime these plants are able to obtain the
nitrogen essential for their growth
through the work Of certain kinds Of
bacteria or germs which penetrate the
smaller roots. forming Jumps or swell
ings, called nodules. Each of these
nodules is tiny chemical laboratory,
in which nitrogen gas is built up into
compounds for use by the plant. ''
