KILLING PRAIRIE DOGS
SERIOUS PROBLEM HERE

d. A. Gilchrist of the U. S. depart
ment Of Agriculture and five ASST
stants are at the present time work.
ing near Flagstaff discriminating
prairie dogs from this vicinity. The
extent of this work is so great ex-
tending over the greater part of the
United States that the government
can only treat the lands within the
National Forest boundary. Owing to
the splendid grass conditions this pest
is much more difficult to exterminate
in Coconino county than elsewhere.
The efforts Of the government in this
work must not be over estimated, if
any degree of success is to be obtained
every one interested must do his part.
Lands owned by individuals should be
treated by the owners. However de-
monstrations may be given on few
farms in each locality. The govern
ment experts have found that the best
time to poison prairie dogs is in the
early spring before the grass has
started. After that time use of car
bon bisulphide gas will be more effect
i've. The government men will be
glad to mix poison for every one who
will furnish the material for the same.
Here is splendid opportunity for
those interested to take advantage of
this government aid. While the party
is treating the lands near you, bring
the ingredients to their headquarters
where they will prepare the same. The
local forest office will inform anyone
of the locality where the party is
operating each week. The following
poison has proved to be the most
effective in this vicinity. Dissolve
one ounce Of strychnine (sulphate) in
IA pints Of boiling water, Thicker
this solution to the consistency of thin
mucilage by stirring in small guam
tity of gloss starch previously mixed
with little cold water. Dissolve one
ounce of baking soda in half cup of
hot water and stir into the poisoned
starch. Add scant teaspoonful of
saccharine. Mix with 13 quarts of
large, white oats. Prepare it from "a
to 4S hours before using and stir occa-
sionally until nearly dry. For mixing
small quantities an ordinary galvan-
lied wash tub is convenient. Larger
quantities as 200 pounds of grain may
be prepared at one time in a tight
smooth box by mixing with a spade.
Each quart Of prepared grain is suffi-
cient to treat about 40 holes and if
thinly scattered on clean hard places
in the proximity of dog holes this
quantity will not endanger stock.

The Meters Record.

A representative of the gas depart
ment called on a householder and in
timated that he was afraid something
was wrong with the meter. From the
official point of view, of course, meters
can only show one fault, and the symp-
tom which had cast suspicion on this
meter was that it had registered less
during the quarter than in the CORE
spending part Of the previous year.
But the lady of the house has a con-
vincing explanation of the decline.
"You see," she said, my daughter
was engaged last winter. She got
married in June"
The official, who was evidently a
parent himself. was quite satisfied,
and the meter left the court without
stain upon it's high character.
