To Kill Prairie Dogs.
Colorado Formula No. Is.

Being requested by several friends for
this recipe which was published last
spring in the Tribune, / herewith sub
init it again and would suggest that you
cut it out and preserve it for future use:
Wheat, ~ quarts: strychine powder
ed) ounce; saccharine, l teaspoonful;
flour, q pint; salt, 4 pint; water IL
pints.
Add the strychnine, saccharine, salt
and -four to the amount Of water called
for in this formula; beat thoroughly with
a Dover egg beater until strychnine is
dissolved put over the fire and bring to
boil, or heat until -four begins 10
thickeu, stirring continually; pour the
poisoned solution over the grain, thor
oughly mix, spread and dry.
One teaspoonful of the poisoned grain
is sufficient for each burrow. This does
the work. l have tried it.
Those that prefer to buy this poisoned
grain instead of preparing it themselves
| will mix it for you and prepare it for
l5c quart, but must have weeks no.
tice before they want to use it.
