his hand and struck ne stone moor

quick succession. The floor rang hos

Then an irregular section of wall
began to move quite smoothly away
in front OF him. leaving a gap
through which eight men abreast
could have marched.
AS II receded he observed that the
lowest course OF stones was laid on
a bronze foundation, that keyed into
wide bronze grooves. There was oil
enough in the grooves TO have CREASED

squeak nor tremor as the tons OF
masonry slid back.
At the end OF perhaps three min

become the fourth side of a twenty
foot-wide island that stood fair In
the middle Of the tunnel, splitting
It in two to right and left. Judging
by the angle Of the two divisions
they became one again before going

Agricultural College of Winnipeg.
the Grain Growers Association in
Western Canada, where gophers are
much more plentiful than in Montana
and far greater menace to the prof
its of the farmer, have adopted one
Of the proprietary poisons and are
recommending it to their farmers
and their readers.
1t would be vastly profitable for
the farmers in Montana to make an
organized effort to destroy gophers,
for the experience of farmers of Can
ada who are working under less ad-
vantageous conditions is that it can
be done and that destroying gophers
Is source of an enormous increase
In farming products.
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1917-03-02

While hold no brief for any pro-
prietary gopher poisons, nevertheless
1t is my opinion that in all cases
where it is not possible to secure the
services Of an expert to prepare the
poison, the average farmer is much
better protected and has much better
success in using proprietary poisons
than In using any OF the so-called
formulas.
The difficulty with these formulas
is that the method of preparation is
intricate and difficult and only man
accustomed to doing the work can be
sure that he has the elements proper
ly combined. At the present price Of
chemicals it is certain that the for
mulas cannot be produced as econom-
ically as the proprietary poiscns.
have in mind one proprietary poi
son which is guaranteed by its max
ers to kill gophers for one cent an
acre. This particular poison is al
ready prepared and requires only
mixing with proper bait such as oats
or ground feed.
The guarantee is an element to be
considered. When a formula is pre-
puA GU w lctl lllCl anu llC uOcS1 L
happen to get it mixed just right,
and it fails to kill the gophers, he is
out his work plus the price he has
paid for the ingredients. The makers
of certain proprietary poisons, on the
other hand, assume the risk by stat
ing that il the poison does not kill
the gophers, they will return the
money.
Within the last two years the ques-
ton of killing gophers hats taken a
leading place in the thought of the
principal agricultural colleges in the
U. S. and Canada and many tests
OF poisons have been made. 1t has
been said that proprietary poisons
were paying profit to their manu-
facturers at the expense of the farm
ers and therefore all efforts were
directed toward producing a formula
which any farmer could profitably
prepare and which would kill his
gophers without burdening him with
the profit which the proprietary man
ufacturers exact. But, as the agri-
culturists grew in experience in kill
ing gophers, many of them have come
to believe that the formula as COM
pared to the reliable proprietary
poisons, is wasteful for the farmer
and considerably more costly. So
such institutions as the Manitoba
