DIRECTIONS FOR DESTROYING
 POCKET GOPHERS

Jno. D. Guthrie, Forest Supervisor, states that there have been several in- quiries for the best means of killing gophers and recommends the direc- tions as furnished by the Forest Serv- ice office which have proven success ful.
 Pocket gephers are readily caught in several makes of special traps commonly on the market, and a few of these suffice to keep small areas free of these pests. For ridding al- falfa fields, orchards, and long stretches of ditch embankments of them, a very successful and much more practical method is to poison them by baits of sweet potato or of parsnips in their underground run ways.
 The baits should be cut about an inch and a half inch square, and washed and drained. From a pepper box slowly sift as ounce of powdered strychnine (alkaloid) and 1-10 of this quantity of saccharine (ground to- gether in a mortar) over about four quarts of the dampened baits, stirring to distribute the poison evenly.
 The runways, which are usually to inches beneath the surface, can be located by means of probe made of any strong handle an inch in di- ameter and 36 inches long. One end should be bluntly pointed. Into the other should be fitted piece of $ inch iron rod, protruding about 12 inches, and bluntly pointed. A foot rest aids in probing in hard oils. By forcing down this iron rod near goph- CT workings, or foot or two back of fresh mounds, the open tunnel can be built as the point breaks into it. The blunt end of the instrument is now used to carefully enlarge the hole, a bait or two is dropped into ahe run and the probe hole closed.
 One soon becomes expert in locating the runs, and man can treat 3x00 to 800 gopher workings in a day. Baits need be placed at only two points in each separate system of 10 or 30 mounds, which is usually the home of single gopher. In our experience belts placed fairly in the open runs have invariably killed the gophers. The method has found great favor wherever it has been introduced.

DIRECTIONS FOR POISONING
 PRAIRIE DOGS IN ARIZONA


 Dissolve l ounce of strychnine sul- phate in IF pints of boiling water. Add heaping tablespoonful of gloss starch, previously mixed with little cold water, and boil until a clear paste is formed. Add saccharine and x pint of sirup and stir thoroughly. Pour over IS quarts of rolled barley and mix well until every grain is evenly coated. Allow to dry before using.
 In bushel quantities use, as above directed, 2k ounces strychnine, 21s ounces soda, 1-5 ounce sacharine, 1A ounces starch, 1k quarts boiling water, and $ pint sirup.
 Scatter poison, when the natural food of the prairie-dog is scarce, on clean hard places near the holes, 1 quart to 50 holes.
 If powdered strychnine alkaloid is used, prepare the hot starch paste first. Then sift strychnine and bak- ing soda, previously mixed thorough ly together, into the ho tstarch paste, and stir to creamy mass. Proceed as in the above directions with sirup, saccharine, etc.
 In some locations in Arizona where the natural prairie-dog foods are abundant, success with poison has not always been obtained by the usual methods. In such cases, excellent re- suits may be secured by placing very small quantity of clean rolled barley at each active hole and after two days again treat the area, with poisoned grain prepared as in the above directions.
 Caution All poison containers and all utens- ills used in the preparation of poison should be kept PLAINLY LABELED and OUT OF REACH of children, ir- responsible persons, and livestock. -

The Heiqht of Trees.

When n is out for a walk it is a
very common thing to wish to know
the height of a particular tree which
happens to catch the eye. When the
sun is shining it is possible accurately
to measure the height of the tree from
the shadow it casts on the ground. In
order to do so a stick must be set up
right in the ground so that its shadow
falls beside the shadow of the tree.
Then. as the length of the sticks shad-
ow to the sticks height, so is the
length of the trees shadow to the
trees height. For example. suppose a
two and a half. foot stick shows a
shadow three feet long and the trees
shadow is eighteen feet long. There
fore the tree is six times as high as
the stick, which shows that the height
Of the tree will be fifteen feet.

CLIP AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shrivel
up corns or caIIuses so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch !?!?!E! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn or hardened
callus stops sorenes at once, and soon
the corn or cfllua dries up and lifts
right off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
~freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively emove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of Americannwo-
men will welcome this announcement
since the inauguration of the high
heels. If your druggist doesn't have
freezone tell him to order a small bot
tie for you. 2

A TREE AND A DISEASE.
Malsria and the Effect Produced BY
Planting a Blue Gum.

Planting a Blue Gum.
Dlring the latter decades Of the nine
teenth century it was a common prac-
trees In districts infected by malarial
fever. 1t wal held that the essential
oil produced by the leaves combated
the harmful vapors rising from the
swamps laden with the poison of the
disease. The discovery that the ma
larial germ is introduced into the blood
by a mosquito has settled once and for
all the origin Of the disease.
The theory that the eucalyptus tree
~neutralized the poison yapors is non
sense, yet the fact remains that where
blue gums were freely planted there
was always a notable decline in the
amount of malaria.
What is the explanation Of this cur
cumstance? 1t has been demonstrated
that, of nearly all trees, the eucalyptus
absorbs the greatest amount Of water.
Two seedlings-a blue gum and a plum
were placed with their roots in wa
ter, and the height of the water was
carefully marked. The plants were
kept In a warm atmosphere and ex-
amined at the end of t~wenty-four
hours. The little eucalyptus had dis
posed of four times the water that the
plum had been able to take up.
Seeing that blue gums increase in
height with great rapidity, often grow
ing many inches a day in a hot posi-
ton, the amount of moisture taken up
Increases on a greatly progressive
scale. And this is just what brings
about the downfall Of the malarial
mosquito, To complete its life cycle it
Is necessary that this insect should
pass it's larval stage in pools of water.
With the coming of the eucalypti these
pools and indeed all marshy places dis
appear, the breeding spots Of the mos
quitoes are gone, and in time the in
sects vanish altogether.

BRITISH NAVY
CAPTURES -FOUR
GERMAN BOATS

London, July 1.-THE admiralty an
nounces the capture of four German
steamers by British destroyers in the
North sea.
Two other German steamers were
with the four captured vessels when
the group was signaled by the British
warcraft. All six made for the. Dutch
coast, and two of them reached the
shore. These two were badly dam
aged by gunfire.
A Reuters dispatch from Ymuiden
says four German ships have been
sunk by British destroyers in the
North sea, four captured, three
stranded, and three forced to return
to Rotterdam. Since Saturday II
steamers have sailed from Rotterdam,
three at a time, and Is at another,
the dispatch says. Of the first group,
one vessel of 1885 tons gross was
wrecked off Vandevoort. OF the Sec
ond group, owing to the action OF
the British destroyers, not one YES
sci was able to proceed, eight being
captured or sunk and three succeed
ing in getting back to Rotterdam. or
the three remaining steamships which
were stranded, two were afire.

Among the incidents suggested by
the war department and which the

was one creating an aircraft produc-

such an amendment would develop
complications regarding personnel and

Former Chancellor Hollweg Poses
as Champion of Popular
Reforms
CROWN PRINCE WINS
BATTLE FOR AUT0CRACY

Amsterdam, July 1.-THE events
of the past few days have stirred
Eerlin as the city has not gt5een stir
red since the war began, according 60 to
information here. ,,ax.s ,F.. %, -
The man in the street took ire
mendous interest in the great politi-
cal battle going on behind the scenes
and the common people, quickly
gained the impression that DR.. Won
Bethmann- -Hollweg, as champion OF
popular reforms, had entered the lists
against the emperor the crown
prince, Field Marshal Won linden
burg and General Ludendorff. .e..
It was almost the first time that
Won Bethmann-Hollw had figured in
the Eerlin streets as popular hero
and, although his cause had many
friends, popular opinion regarded his
effort as hopeless against the great
prestige of the royal house, allied with
the military imperialists, Won linden
burg and LudendQrff.
Won Hollweg's chief sup
port in this brief effort for democ-
racy seems to have come from Ba'
varia and Austria. as the report goes
here. He made two proposals, the
first that in the direction of demo-
cratization, a new body under the
name of the reichsrat should be inn
mediately constituted, which would
be a sort of committee on national
defense, and would for the time being
act as a go.between 'twixt the reich
stag and tAe emperor, thus instituting
on modified scale the principle OF
parliamentary responsibility; the Sec
ond, that the government should i'm
mediately make an authoritative dec
laration of no annexations or indem-
mites. Both these proposals, it is as
serted, had the backing of Bavaria
and Austria.
Both proposals were violently op-
posed by the crown prince, Won Hin
denburg and Ludendorff. 1t is de-
clared that Won Hindenburg came out
openly for a German peace and
avowed that Bavaria and Austria
must be persuaded that victorious
peace was certain in short time
through the agency of Ihe U-boals.
DR.. Won Bethmann ?Hollweg resign
ed from his post of chancellor after
his conference with the crown prince,
in which the latter convinced the
chancellor that his cause was lost. :
