sold to canning establishments or dis
tributed to public charities.
Many of the states which have a
close season for cOttontail or other na-
tive rabbits permit landowners at 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-
tlon, ands only in exceptional cases Is
it necessary to resort to other meas
ures for relief.
Saving Trees.
Except where deep SHOWS fall. or
chards or other crops on small areas
may be protected by the use of rabbit
proof fencing. Individual trees may
be safeguarded by metal or wooden
protectors attached to the trunks. In
Idaho a poisoned wash of strychnine
glycerin, and starch proved effective
to save 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 (suiphate) in three quarts
of boiling water. Dissolve one-half
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
short time until the starch is clear.
Add six ounces Of glycerin and stir.
When the paste Is cool enough apply
to tree trunks with a paint brush.
The mixture adheres. well and forms
thin coating. II rabbits attack the
tree they Will be killed before 1t Is
seriously injured The wash shoult
not be used If live stock, especially
young cattle, have access to the or.
chard. .#'t...
For poisoning jack rabbits in winter
the following formula is recommend
ed; .'
Poison baits.-GOOd oats, II quarts !:
powdered strychnine, one ounce; laun-
dry starch, one tablespoonful soda
(bicarbonate), one ounce; saccharIne,
one-eighth ounce; water. one quart.
Prepare as directed for mixing prairie.
dog poison. Not over tablespoonful
of the poisoned grain should be used
in single bait, and this should, be
scattered considerably. A little al
falfa hay may be used to attract rab-
bits to the grain. The poison is es-
pecially effective when snow covers
the ground.
Partly ripened or ripe heads of bar
ley or wheat soaked in 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.

ARE NOT A SUCCESS
safety Zone Signs Far From Salts
factory. Mayor House Says.

The brilliant red safety zone signs
are not as good as they are painted,
according to Mayor j. E. House, and
steps Will be taken to make them all
they are supposed to be.+--.-z-
The safety signs are neither a bril-
liant scheme nor are they markers of
safety spots for hurrying pedestrians.
But il will all change, according to
city officials The plans now under
consideration at the city building are
to use these safety zone markers dur
ing the rush hours of the day--be-
tween 1880 clock in the morning and
1880 in the evening In the summer
the signs will probably be removed
from the streets at 1880 o'clock and
in the winter months, as early as $50
o'clock, according to the plans now
under discussion
This would make the signs serve
the purpose for which the Topeka
railway was permitted to place them
along Kansas avenue, and at the same
time would protect the standards from
abuse by night hawks.
The signs were placed on the
streets as a result of verbal agree
ment between mayor and representa-
tives of the railway company The
city was to lay off the zones and the
railway company was TO erect safety
zone standards The results is not the
fault of the city. but, according to the
mayor, steps will be taken to remove
the signs before dark

to be on hand at 1880 p. m.
He further announced that a num-
Der of rifles will be taken along on

there will be target practice at a GER
tain place on the bank of the Kansas
river.
The company will drill this evening
to the music of fife and drum.
Now that all other soldier units have
left Topeka, the home guards will be
the sole reliance of the civil authori-
ties, as an aid to maintaining order
and protecting property. and the very
real and important usefulness of the
organization is liable to become clear
ly apparent at any time. The larger
the size of the company the greater
will be its effectiveness, and the
lighter will be the burden of work re-
quired from each individual member.
