ELIMINATE MOLES
FROM FARM GARDEN
Variety of Traps on Market Suit
able for Purpose-Mice Are
Worst Offenders.

The best method Of getting rid of
moles is by trapping, according to DR..
Lee r. Dice, instructor in zoology in
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
"While the mole disfigures lawns
and parks by throwing up unsightly
ridges and tears up roots of flowers
and vegetables, he does not eat roots,
tubers, OF seeds, as is often supposed"
said Doctor Dice.
"The destruction Of roots and seeds
is the work Of his unlimited guests
meadow mice, field mice, and common
house mice. These little animals take
advantage Of the mole's tunnels to pro-
cure roots and seeds as food. The
mole lives almost entirely on insects,
This frees him from the charge of
eating seeds"
A number of mole traps are on the
market which Il be used to eliminate
this animal from gardens, lawns, and
parks. Shrewdness on the part Of the
trapper and some knowledge of the
mole's habits are essential tt the NC
cesSful removal OF this wary little pest.
When the burrows have been crushed
in by tramping, or other means, the
mole reopens them by throwing up
dirt from below. This action is made
use Of in the construction Of some
traps which are so contrived that when
an effort is made to reopen the tunnel,
closed by tramping, the trap is sprung.
Mice, which do the real damage
often credited to moles, can be pois-
oned by placing poisoned grain in the
burrows. The agricultural college
sends out, at cost, a prepared poison
st=ychnine in a solution of sirup-
which can be used on shelled corr or
other grains softened by soaking In
hot water.

P%ASTEURIZlNG MILK
FOR YOUNG CALVES
Transmission of tuberculosis
and Contagious Abortion
Are Thus Prevented.
(By I. E.. NEwsoM, Colorado Agricul-

(By I. E. NEWSOM. Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
So much has been said on pasteuriz-
ing milk for babies that many cities
require all milk to be ~pasteurized, ex-
cept such as has been produced under
exceptional sanitary conditions, and at
least one state is requiring the pasteur-
ization Of all milk from all cattle not
tuberculin tested. Many Of those who
are engaged in raising calves have
found that if babies lives can be saved
by heating the milk so also can the
lives Of calves be spared by the same
method. Unquestionably skinned milk
returned from the creameries has been
q very faithful source Of the transmits
sion Of tuberculosis to both calves and
pigs, and it is found by actual expert
ence in many states that this disease
can be very much curbed by proper
pasteurization Of the skinned milk be-
fore it is returned to the farm.
The organism causing contagious
abortion is very frequently found in
the milk and is probably transmitted
to the calves in this tanner. Proper
heating will unquestiOnably prevent
this kind of transmission.
A recent report from the California
experiment station shows that u very
serious outbreak Of dysentery in calves
was stopped by boiling the milk. All
of these experiences go to show that
culf-raising would be much more easily
accomplished and much more profitable
if all the milk given to the calves could
be properly pasteurized, since by so
doing many Of the calf diseases could
be eliminated.

for the moment. Alaire was in good
humor, and expressed her relief at
escaping from everything Mexican.
II haven't seen a newspaper for

confded.
Dave told her Of the latest develop

him about his own doings, he informed
her Of the affair which had brought
him to Pueblo.
OF course all three of his companions
were breathlessly interested in the
story of Pine Garza's death; Dolores
and Jose did not allow a word to
escape them.
"Caramba! It required bravery to
ride alone into that %rincon," Jose de-
clared. II know Pine Cara we'll, and

"You said your horse saved your

"Yes. She's buried where she

Alaire turned q quick glance upon

his eyes miserable. Impulsively she
laid her hand upon his arm, saying:
II know how you must feel. Do you
know what has always been my dear

Dave smiled absentmindedly.

To wear with this costume or to

Many of the smart barrel coats are

They are tighter at the waist, wider

For those who are fascinated by

ALIEN SUBJECTS BANK DEPOSITS
 PERFECTLY SAFE

People who are subjects of foreign countries with whom the United States is at war, have been consider ably worried about money which they have on deposit in banks in this coun- try, as well as other property owned by them.
 1t has been feared that the govern ment would confscate their property upon the excuse of a state of war ex- isting. This unfounded fear has been set at rest, however, by the president, in a communication coming through the Federal Reserve board, directed to member banks of the Federal Reserve banking system, which arrived yes terday. The circular follows:
 To Member Banks of Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco:
 The department of state on February 8 issued the following statement:
 "It having been reported to him that there is anxiety in some quarters on the part of persons residing in this country who are subjects of foreign states lest their bank deposits or other property should be seized in the event of war between the United States and foreign nation, the presi- dent authorizes the statement that all such fears are entirely unfounded. The government of the United States will in no circumstances take advant- age of state of war to take posses sion of property in which information al understandings and the recognized law of the land give it no just claim or title. It will scrupulouSly respect all private rights alike of it's own citi- zens and of the subjects of foreign states"
 It has been suggested by the federal reserve board that member banks give wide publicity to the above statement and that wherever it appears advis, able it should be printed on placards and posted prominently. Yours tuly

Mining Notes

X new strike is reported from the Kantshna where Stein and associates are down 30 feet and are getting pans of from 40 cents to $2 and have not yet reached bedrock.
 New pay is reported to have been uncovered in the TolStoi country or Flat, Esperanto and Madison creeks. Fifty cents pans are said to have been taken out on Flat.
 The Mother Lode mine near Mc- Carthy, is reported to have shipped five carloads more of high grade ore last week.
 The discoverers of the "pay" at Cinema, which created so much excite ment at that place recently have gone through the paystreak, which was To- cated on top of a clay bedrock, and are unable to secure even color in their pans. The clay was discovered about four feet below the surface. They are now working in a mass of sticks, muck and smaller gravel, and hope to strike another pay streak when they hit bedrock.
 The Pueblo mine near Whitehorse is sending to Juneau for additional men for its crew. A good sized ledge of black oxide of copper has recently been uncovered, which is the richest ore yet found in the mine.
 Thirty ears of coal were recently shipped from the Dougherty Coal company from Moose creek to An chorage. This is the largest single shipment yet made.
