prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The common woodchuck inhabits
eastern North America from northern
Georgia and middle Alabama north
ward, including the greater part of
Canada. In the United States it ranges
westward to Arkansas, eastern Kan
sas, and eastern Minnesota. Another
species Of woodchuck inhabits the
higher country of the Black hills,
Rocky mountains, Sierra Nevada, Cas-
cades, and other ranges in the West.
This mountain form seldom comes in
contact with agriculture, but the East
ern species frequently damages gar
den vegetables, clover, and other crops.
Also, it's burrows and mounds inter-
fere with moving and other farm OPP
erations. In some states the animal is
regarded as so obnoxious that local
bounties are paid for destroying it.
Woodchucks, while somewhat gre
garious, seldom occur in large colonies,
and may, therefore. be kept in check
by shooting or trapping. They may
be poisoned by strychnine inserted in
pieces Of sweet apple, carrot, or sweet
potato. The animals are often de-
stroyed in their burrows by fumigation
with carbon bisulphide or by the dis
charge of blasting powder.
To destroy woodchucks with carbon
b%isulphide, saturate a wad Of cotton
or waste with about one and one-half
ounce OF the liquid. Place the cotton
we'll inside the woodchuck burrow and
close the opening with a piece Of sod
well stamped down. If there are two
or more entrances to a burrOw, all but
one should be tightly closed before
fumigation.
The smaller forms Of rabbits, known
generally us c%ottontails. are useful ami
mails and become Objectionable only
when too numerous in the vicinity OF
orchards or nurseries. The same is
true Of the larger snowshoe rabbits
The jack rabbits Of the West are Of less
value for human food, and, by reason
Of their abundance in newly settled
regions, often interfere greatly with
crops and the growing Of orchard and
other trees.
Jack rabbits are not protected in any
Of the states, but are everywhere re-
garded as a pest. They afford consid'

OF THE
MILKING MACHINES
Successful Operation Depends on
Ability of Operator to Ad-
Just It to Cow.

That the efficiency Of the present
day milking machine depends on the
ability Of the operator, is the opinion
Of J.. B. Fitch, associate professor
Of dairy %husbandry in the Kansas
State Agriculture college.
Several new milking machines have
been placed on the market in the last
few years and their manufacturers
have carried on extensive advertising"
said Professor Fitch. MANY farmers
have been led to believe that with q
machine their troubles would be at an
end. AS q result many machines have
been sold. Although they apparently
gave good results at first, many are
not used now.
I'm most cases where the machine
has been discarded, it has been the
fault Of the operator. It takes an
able man to operate the machine and
adjust it to the COW and get good re-
suits. Satisfactory results cannot be
obtained unless it is properly adjust
ed to the COW. An efficient hand
mixer will get more milk from a COW
than a machine. The machine, how
ever, will do better milking than the
average farm hand. For the farmer
who has trouble getting good mixers
md has from IS tc 20 cows, the ma
chine will work to good advantage.

to take a quick shot in his direction.
Ricardo had missed, and the miscre-
ant was doubtless well away by this
time. He had ridden a sorrel horse,
that was all Ricardo could remember.
Law looked only briefly at the grue-
some results of his craftsmanship,
then he turned back to the body of his
beloved mare. Ricardo noticed at
length that he was crying; as the
Ranger knelt beside the dead thor

to his son:
"Valgame Dios! This is a strange
fellow. He weeps like a woman. He
must have loved that horse as a man
loves his wife. Who can understand
these gringos?" After a time he ap-
preached cautiously and inquired:
"What shall we do with this ho1nbre,
senior? Pedro has found his horse"
Law reused himself. With his own
hands he gently removed Bessie Bellies
saddle, bride and blanket, then he
gave his orders.
It'll take your horse, Ricardo. and
you take-that fellows. Get a wagon
and move him to Jonesville."

cities, where the %carcaSseS are either
sold to canning establishments or dis
tributed to public charities.
Many of the states which have a
close season for cottontail or other ma
tive rabbits permit landowners Mt any
time to protect property from the de-
predations of the animals. Usually.
however, close hunting and trapping
in the open season afford ample protec-
ton, and only in exceptional cases is
1t necessary to resort to other meas
ures for relief.
Saving Trees.
Except where deep SHOWS fall, or
chards OF other crops on small areas
may be protected by the use of rabbit
proof fencing. Individual trees may
be ~safcguarded by metal or wooden
protectors attached to the trunks. In
Idaho a poisoned wash of %strychnine,
glycerin, and starch proved effective
to saw trees from jack rabbits, and
the method is recommended for trial
in any locality where conditions war
rant its use. The wash is prepared as
follows:
Poison wash.-Dissolve One ounce Of
%strychnine (sulphate) in three quarts
of boiling water. Dissolve one-hulf
pound of laundry starch in one pint
Of cold water, stirring thoroughly. Pour
the starch into the vessel containing
the %strychnine and boil the mixture
a short time until the starch Is clear.
did civ n1rrnnS nf U1ynorin anI stit.
When the paste is cool enough apply
to tree trunks with Il paint brush.
The mixture adlleres well and forms
d thin coating. If rabbits attack the
tree they will be killed before it Is
seriously injured. The wash should
not be used If live stock, especially
young cattle, have access to the or
chard.
For poisoning jack rabbits In winter
the following formula is recommend
ed:
Poison baits.-Good oats, II quarts;
powdered s%trychnine, one ounce; laun-
dry starch, one tablespoonful; soda
(b~icarbOnate), n ounce; saccharine,
one-eighth ounce; water, one quart.
Prepare as directed for mixing prairie
dog poison. Not over a tablespoonful
Of the poisoned grain should be used
In q single bait, and this should be
scattered considerably. A little al
fnlfa hay may be used to attract rab-
bits to the grain. The poison is es-
pecially effective when snow cover
the ground.
Partly ripened or ripe heads Of bar
ley or wheat soaked in a sweetened
solution Of strychnine or coated with
the starch-strychnine paste just de-
scribed have also proved effective bats
for rabbits, but care must be exer-
cised in using them, as they are likely
to be eaten by live stock.
