The noatfng Islands. which nj fines

FIGHTING FIELD MICE.

Their Activities Observation-Disclosures
and Crops often Injured by Them.
Prepared by United States department OF
agricultural
Field mice, which are such destruc-
tive pests in orchards and field crops,
are divided into two groups-meadow
mice, which live chiefly in surface run
ways and build both subterranean and
surface nests, and pine mice, which
live almost wholly in underground bur-
rows. The pine mice may be readily
distinguished from meadow mice by
their shorter and smoother fur. their
red-brown color and their molelike
habits.
Meadow mice are injurious to most
crops. They destroy grass in mead
ows and pastures, cut down grain, clio
yer and alfalfa, eat grain left standing
in shocks, injure seeds. bulbs, flowers
and garden VEGETABLES and are especial
" harmful to trees and shrubbery.
Meadow mice often attack orchards
and nurseries in the winter under COW
er of snow, but they may attack trees
at any season under shelter of growing

vegetation or litter. The number of
trees and shrubs attacked by field mice
includes a very long list.
The ordinary guillotine type of mouse
trap, baited with oatmeal or other
grain or set in mouse runs without bait,
has been found efficient in Kidding the
premises when infested with rela-
lively small number of either meadow
or pine mice. 1t is also adaptable to
large areas where the number of mice
is great and where it is undesirable to
lay out poison. If the mice are mod
erately abundant ten or twelve traps
per acre are used to advantage. When
trapping pine mice the tunnels should
be eXcavated sufficiently to admit the
trap on level with the bottom.
Poisoning is the quickest and most
efficient method of destroying field
mice. The following formulas are rec
commended by the department of agri-
culture:
Mix thoroughly one ounce powdered
strychnine (alkaloid), one ounce pow

eighth ounce tor less) of saccharine.
Put the mixture in a tin pepper box
and sift it gradually over fifty pounds
of crushed wheat or forty pounds of
crushed oats in a metal tub. mixing the
grain constantly so that the poison
will be evenly distributed.
Dry mixing az above described, has
the advantage that the grain may be
kept any length of time without fer
mentatiOn. If it is desired to mOisten
tie grain to facilitate thorough mixing
it would be well to use a thin starch
paste (as described below. but without
strychnine) before applying the poison.
The starch soon hardens. and fermen-
tation is not likely to follow.
If crushed oats or wheat cannot be
obtained. whole oats may be used, but
they should be of good quality. AS
mice hull the oats before eating them.
il is desirable to have the poison pene-
trate the kernels. A very thin starch
paste is recommended as a medium for
applying poison to the grain. Prepare
as follows:
Dissolve an ounce of strychnia sui
phate in two quarts of boiling water.
Dissolve two tablespOOnfuls of laundry
starch in one-half pint of cold water.
Add the starch to the strychnine solIi-
ton and boil for a few minutes until
the starch is clear. A little saccharine
may be added if desired, but it is not
essential. Pour the hot starch over a
Dushel of oats in a metal tub and stir
thoroughly. Let the grain stand over
night to absorb the poison.

To avoid destroying birds it should

Letter to Caledonian.

To the Editor of the CaledoLian
The meeting of the Commercial
club this Thursday evening cannot
fail to commend itself to all who
are concerned in the best interests
of the club and the town. Some of
the experiments in cooperation here
N the past have not been distinguish
ed by their success and the under
lying reason has usually bee l that
too much was done in the dark. Any
attempt at self-knowledge either on
the part of an individual or COM
munity is valuable in proportion as
it is honest and we understand that
the club will be asked to consider
a proposition to this end at the close
of the banquet. 1t deserves full sup
port.
