PREVENTION OF SOIL
BLOWING BY FENCES
Evergreen Hedges Should Be Set
Out by Farmers Where DAM
age Is Being Done.

That hedge fences are effective In
the prevention of soil blowing and
should be set out by the farmers in
sections where damage is done through
this cause, is the opinion of G. A. Scott,
Kansas state forester.
Evergreen hedges are best" points
out Professor Scott. "They present q
good appearance throughout the entire
year, and cut off the vino from the
surface of the field where the most
damage is done through soil blowing,
Good varieties TO set out are red ce-
dar, Austrian pine, western yellow pine
and Chinese arbor vitae.
"If ordinary Usage orange hedge is
already out do not cut it down. The
soil nearest the hedge will not yield n
profitable crop Of grain, but strip of
alfalfa two rods wide may be planted
along the side of the hedge. The al
falfa will yield good crop, as 1t is
not harmed by partial shade, The
hedge will act as wind break and nil
the ground Will be profitably utilized"

Muffin Reclpe.

A few weeks after Mr.. Newlywed
was married he said to his wife one
morning: martha, l wish you'd write
to that old colored cook your folks
have in Atlanta, and find out how she
makes the splendid mullins that we
used to have there for breakfast"
Mrs. Newlywed did so, and about a
week later received the following re-
ply:
Dear Missy: To make the mullins
you-all spoke about take as much corn
meal -four eggs molasses sugar salt
and butter as you think you need, cord
ing to the number of persons you think
you're going to have stir them all to-
gether and bake in hot oven. Mrs,

RAISING CALVES FOR
FUTURE DAIRY HERD
Only Those Young Animals Pos
sessing Rangy Frames Should
Be Kept for Cows.

In selecting calves for future cows,
do not imagine that any and all, re-
CARELESS of size, build and type, will
make good paying cows. 1t costs no
more, at least not much more to raise
a good COW than to raise scrub,
Home. The care and feeding be-
slowed upon the calf determine to a
great extent what the future COW will
be. Beefy or short-legged calves, or
those with short bodies. should not be
saved for cows; only those possessing
rangy frames, should be kept.
The care and feed of the calf are
all important, for here hinges, to a
great extent, success or failure. The
first feed should be whole milk, fresh
and warm from the COW, fed morning
and at night For the first week, de-
pending upon size, feed from two to
three quarts at ration. Underfeed,
by all means, rather than overfeed
during the first critical week. Over
feeding produces scours, after which
no calf can again "make good" When
one week old the amount should grad
'ually be increased, ever watchful to
leave the calf hungry; at two weeks
feed warm separated milk. to which is
stirred in one handful of cornmeal,
boiled to thin Cruel In water.
Increase the amount gradually until
Mt six or eight weeks of age the calf
can readily take from four to six
quarts nj feed. To the milk add one
pint or more of Cruel. Never feed cold
milk. nor, on the other hand, ever.

right temperature. At this time 9

More than so species and races of
ground squirrels inhabit the United
States and Canada, and some of them
are 50 numerous in agricultural re-
gious as to be constant menace to
crops. They comprise a group of long,
slender animals, of grayish or grayish-
brown color-sometimes notified or
striped--and with a medium or long
tail, usually less bushy than that of the
larger of the tree squirrels. These
ground squirrels are often, but wrong
ly. called "gophers" and are locally
named digger" squirrels and picket
pins" They inhablt mainly open
plains, mountain valleys and borders
Of wet meadows, but are found also
In open places in the forests and some
times high up the slopes of mountains.
They dig numerous deep burrows and
are very destructive TO nearly all
crops, eating both the growing plants
and the ripe or ripenlng grain. In irri-
embankments and levees and are al
most as troublesome as pocket gophers.
Among the largest and most destruc-
tive of these animals is the California,
or digger" ground squirrel. 1t is
gray In color and has u long. rather
bushy tail. 1t occurs in the Southwest
and West from western Texas to Cali
fornia and Oregon. In parts of Callfor-
MIA the race known as the Beechey
ground squirrel is especially abundant
and menaces not only crops and irriga-
ton bitches, but also human life, in
that it is a known carrier of bubonic
plague. About a dozen cases of this
disease among human beings have
been traced directly to this squirrel and
q large number of the animals collect
ed by the United States public health
service have been found infected. The
health service, In cooperation with
state authorities, has succeeded In es-
tablishing south and east of San Fran
cisco, in the counties that We're the
CcultT VI luitCllOu, Nlue HNlS HoN
comparatively free from squirrels. The
United States department of agricul-
ture, through the biological survey,
has exterminated most of the squirrels
in the national forests that lie near the
plague-infected counties. 1t is probable
that all immediate danger of an out
break of human plague by infection
from ground squirrels has passed.
Another large and destructive spe-
cies Is the Columbian ground squirrel.
1t occurs within the United States in
parts of Montana, Idaho, eastern
Washington and eastern Oregon.
While 1t inhabits chiefly the river val
leys 1t has been taken in Montana on
mountains near timber line. Where
grain is grown in the narrow valleys
and in the important wheat districts
OF eastern Washington this species is
extremely injurious. Early attempts
to destroy 1t by poison proved unsuc-
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1917-05-17

ceSsful, because the animal Is able to
resist much larger doses of strychnine
than are needed to kill other ground
squirrels.
A destructive and widely distribute
ed species is the Richardson ground
squirrel. In its larger form it Is found
in much Of Montana, the Dakotas and
northward far into Canada. A some
what smaller race (elegans) is found
in Wyoming, northern Colorado and
eastern Idaho. This ground squirrel is
very destructive to crops, especially to
grain, and within its range warfare
against it is absolutely necessary to
successful farming.
The striped ground squirrel, the
Franklin ground squirrel, and some
other species, which are less gregari-
Gus and seldom occur In great numbers
in any locality, are less destructive
than any of the three groups named.
Other species are nearly as injurious
as those described. The animals have
been dealt with In three groups, be-
cause slightly different formulas for
poisoning each OF them have been
worked out by field investigators of
the biological survey. The formula for
the Richardson ground squirrel is
adapted for all the species except the
Columbian and the California forms.
Poison for Columbian Ground Squir-
rels-Mix one ounce of powdered
strychnine (alkaloid), one ounce of
powdered bicarbonate Of soda, one tea
spoonful of saccharine and one-half
pound of dry powdered laundry starch,
and stir with enough cold water to
make a smooth, creamy paste. Apply
to II quarts of good, clean oats in a
metal tub or other vessel and stir
thoroughly to distribute the poison
evenly. When the poisoned grain is
dry, scatter 1t along squirrel trails or
on hard soil on the surface near the
squirrel burrows.
Poison for Richardson Ground Squir-
rel.-Mlx one tablespoonful Of laundry
starch in one-half teacupful of colo
water, and stir 1t into one-half pint Of
boiling water TO make it a thin, clear
,mucilage. Mix one ounce of powdered
strychnine with one ounce of powdered
blcarbonute of soda and stir the mix
ture into the hot starch, making a
smooth, creamy paste free from Jumps.
Stir in one-quarter pint of heavy corn
sirup and one tablespoonful of glycerin,
and, finally, one scant teaspoonful of
saccharine. Apply to 20 quarts of oats
and mix thoroughly to coat every kerr
mel. Each quart of the poisoned grain
should make 40 to 60 bats. Distribute
in same manner as stated for poisoning
Columbian ground squirrels.
These poisons may be used at any
time of the year when the squirrels are
active. The biological survey has had
excellent results with them. even In
midsummer. Trapping is too slow a
process TO use effectively against
large colonies of ground squirrels.
