PLAN NOW FOB KILLING
OF GROUND SQUIRRELS

In many parts of Moffat and Routt
counties ground squirrels, near reia-
tives of the prairie dog, have in re-
cent years proven source of very
considerable loss to the ranchmen,
principally in the destruction of grow
ing crops. The bureau of biological
survey of the department of agricul-
ture has Experimental extensively and
has Investigated numerous methods for
getting rid of both prairie dogs and
ground squirrels, and the following,
accepted as the best yet discovered,
has been officially recommended in n
bulletin recently issued and copy Of
which is sent to the Sentinel by Logan
B. Crawford, formerly of Steamboat t
and who is now predatory animal in
spector attached to the Denver office
of the biological survey.
Mix l ounce of powdered strychnine
in three-fourths of a pint of water
and heat to a boiling point. Mix a ia
blespoonfu1 of gloss starch in one
eighth of pint of cold water, add to
the strychnine solution, and boil until
a clear paste is formed. Remove from
fire; add l ounce powdered bicarbon-
ate Of soda, previously mixed with one
eighth of pint of cold water, and
stir to smooth, creamy mass. Add
tablespoonful of heavy corn syrup and
one-eighth of an ounce of saccharine,
and stir. Pour over 10 quarts Of oats
and mix thoroughly until the grain is
evenly coated. Allow to stand several
hours before distributing.
For mixing small quantities an or
dinary galvanizediron washtub is cor
venient. For larger quantities tight,
smooth box may be used, and the mix
may be done with spade.
Each quart of the prepared grain is
sufficient for treating about 40 holes.
This quantity should be scattered
lightly on clean, hard ground near each
prairie dog hole. Do not place the
poison on loose earth or in the hole.
With reasonable care in scattering the
bats cattle and sheep on the open
range will not be endangered.
The poison is effective at any season
when the dogs are active. The most
favorable time for poisoning is early
in spring or during periods of drought,
when green food is scarce.

FINGER GROUND OFF

Last Monday while little Helen Egg
geman, five year old daughter of DIR.
and Mrs. E. G. Eggeman, was watching
the operation of the electric coffee
mill in Bigham IS bakery, in some un-
explainable manner she stuck the ir-
dex finger of her right hand into the
mill in such a way that the first joint
was completely sheared off by the burr
of the machine.
Miss Lottie Schliff, an employe of
the store, had been watching the little
girl who was playing around the store.
Miss Schliff had finished grinding "a
parcel of coffee and had turned off the
electric motor which operates the ma
chine. Just how the little child sue
ceeded in putting her finger in the
mill before the machinery had been
brought to a standstill is yet a mystery
as the machinery seems to be complete.
ly encased and one would declare it alb
solutely safe. However, all agree that
no one is to blame, but that it is one
of those unfortunate accidents which
occasionally overtake us in spite of
all precautions.
Drs. Hopkins and Clark were called
at once and the finger was carefully
dressed and the little sufferer is getting
along nicely, barring little pain and
nervousness as natural result of an
accident of this nature.

BOOZE SHIPMENTS MADE PUBLIC

According to Attorney General Far
rar, shipments of Intoxicating liquors
into any community shall be open to
public inspection. The question arose
through a question submitted to the
attorney general by A. L. -Foote Of
La Veta. In answer to Mr.. Foote,
Mr.. Farrar states:
A. Il. Foote,
La Veta, Colorado.
Dear Sir:
I have your favor of the 18th in
stant with references to your right to
inspect the books of the railroad COM
pany for the purpose of checking up
shipments Of liquor. I can find 70
warrant in the law for your examina-
ton CT the rocks of the company, bu:
call your attention to section of the
that any common carrier making deliv-
cries of intoxicating liquor shall take
from the consignee an affidavit the
form of which is prescribed, which affi-
davlt shall be kept by the carrier Tor
period of two years and shall be
open to public inspection. If the law
is being complied with in this respect,
the railroad company must, of course,
furnish you means of determining
what shipments have been received at
La Veta.
With respect to your second question,
there is no law prohibiting the publ
cation, as matter of news, of the
names of persons, shown, by the re-
ports made to county clerks to have
received consignments of Intoxicating
liquors.
Yours truly,
FRED FARRAR.
