KILL SQUIRRELS

By combating ground squirrels Ida
ho farmers saved over $1,250,0O0-in
crops during 1918. Twenty-Five coun-
ties and 4,025 farmers co-operated
with the biological survey of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
in stamping out the squirrel pest, and
as result 277,751 acres were cleared
of the rodents.
1t is estimated that this ground
squirrel eradication work in Idaho
saved at least per cent of the total
crops of that state which formerly
went to pay the yearly rodent tribute.
AS one farmer phrases it, Il used to
consider that the squirrels had a
mortgage on % percent of my crops, as
they devoured one-fourth of all l pro-
duced. Now after L have cleared my
farm of squirrels, l harvest and save
100 per cent of all the crops l grow"
In Bonneville county, Idaho, ia
farmers distributed 6,223 pounds of
poisoned oats over 1871 acres, and
as a direct and immediate result saved
$41, ,265 worth of farm crops which
would have been consumed
by the squirrels. In the eradication

USES FOR HORNS IN CHINA
Pills and Marvellous Tonics Are
Among the Many Things Manu-
factured From Them.

Water buffalo and OK horns in China
are worked into lanterns, some of
strikingly large size and quite trans
parent, says writer in the Boston
Evening Transcript. They also find
many other uses in China, including
the manufacture of combs, shoe horns
and backs of hair tooth and other
brushes. Prior to the antiopium cam
paign the principal use made of these
horns was in the manufacture of
opium cups or boxes for packing and
storing opium for home consumption.
Horn lanterns in China are made from
the hoofs as well as the horns of ami
mails. Deer, reindeer and mountain
goat horns are valuable in China Tor
manufacture into medicine. Stag
horns are particularly valuable, but
uselul only during a certain time of
the year. From the stag horns pills
are made that are reputed to have
marvellous tonic and reiuvenating
qualities. About a million pounds of
water buffalo and OK horns and a

FEED BOXES AND HAY RACKS
Faulty Construction Cause of Animals
Not Getting Feed Intended
for Them.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricuiture)
In many instances animals do not get
the feed actually intended for them
due to improper and faulty construc-
ton of boxes and hay racks. Many
feed boxes are so shallow and small
that much feed is wasted as the ami.
mails eat from them. In order to pre-
vent this waste the feed boxes should
be repaired. They should be at least
18 inches wide and "a inches long and
II to IA inches deep. 1t is often adj
visable to feed the concentrates with
silage to prevent waste.
Hay racks should be constructed to
prevent animals from tossing or pull
ing hay under their feet. All hay
racks should have a tight bottom to
prevent the loss of leaves and finer
particles of hay. The leaves of hay,
especially of the legumes, contain most
of the protein and are, therefore, that
part of the roughage which the ami
mails need. A few hours work in re-
pairing boxes and hay racks, and at a
very small cost, will result in saving
sufficient feed to maintain the animals
In satisfactory condition.

Hehraic Idea Of nod

The Hebraic idea of God as an alb
solute, immutable, transcendent Being,
who yet reveals himself and works out
his will in and through the life of
Israel his people; who is at once tri-
bal and universal, at once a metaphys-
ical principle and very present help
In time of need, at once Independent
of all human agency and In some way
unable to fulfill himself except through
the striving of men for goodness-that
idea is typical of an attitude to the
world which can defy logic without
sinking into mysticism. and can insist
on the application of abstract prin-
ciples In human life without making
human life the slave of distractions.
lnsevery manifestation of the Hebrew
spirit the attitude can be discerned.
It has still something to say to the
world and in the Jewish Palestine of
the future its new word will be spo-
ken-not merely, perhaps not pri-
marily, through literature or art, but
through its particular way of ham
ding the practical problems of or.
ganized human society.-From THE
Future of Palestine" by Leon Simon,

solution Is spread over IL quarts OF
oats and mixed thoroughly in order to
coat each kernel. One quart of this
poison is sufficient for 40 to 60 bats.
The material-scattered one teaspoon
full to a place-should be distributed
along the clean, hard surfaces near the
squirrel holes where it will not en-
danger live stock and where there is
no chance for the. rodents 70 waste
the material by tramping over it or
by covering it with refuse from their
holes, as would occur were the bait
to be placed directly in their burrows.
Control Columbian Squirrels.
Columbian ground squirrels are not
controlled by this method of 4eradica-
ton, as they hull oats very carefully
before eating them, and hence avoid
II e poison. Therefore a special method
of preparing bait for these squirrels is
used so that as they hull the oats the
poison fakes off in the rodents mouths
and kills them.
The Columbian squirrel bait is pre-
pared by combining in dry mixture
one ounce of powdered strychnine
(alkaloid) and one ounce of baking
soda, one teaspoonful of saccharin and
three tablespoonfuls of -four, adding
little cold water and stirring thorough
ly to a smooth, creamy paste. This
mixture is distributed uniformly over
II quarts of oats as in the former
case, and the poison bait scattered as
previously described. This poison
should be used within 10 to Ia days
after preparation, as otherwise the ma
terial will dust off the grain.
Poison ground squirrels as early in
the spring as possible, as in this way
the natural increase of young squir-
rels is eliminated. The poisoning cam
paign should be continued throughout
the year until the section is free of
these pests. The rodents will eat the
poison baits at any time. Attention
should be given to destroying the
squirrels in all their haunts in pas
lures, uncultivated fields, fence rows,
and roads, as well as from the culti-
waited fields where complete extermina-
ton Of the pests is sought.

amounted to a mania, according to

feet, glOves-tO such an extent that
at Milan the guild of glovers and per

shirts, even money, all were scented.
And as If that were not enough, pa-

Thanks to the "See-America-first''
movement and the difficulties of Euro
pean travel due to the war, many
Americans are finding out that they
can have all the thrills of seeing and
climbing glaciers without paying the
Swiss innkeepers and guides stiff

easily accessible but little known gla-
ciers show the awe-inspiring crevasSes
and wonderful changing colors that
one who has ever had first-hand ex-
perience with these slow moving rivers
of ice can never forget.
Among the national parks easily ac.
cessible by railroad, that furnish the
sport of glacier climbing, are Glacier
park and Rainier national park. 1t
is Alaska, however, that offers the de
luxe glacier sightseeing. This little
known land not only has the largest
glaciers-big enough to make Switzer.
lands pride look insignificant-but
also the most easily accessible. In
fact. during the summer season the

by the kernel from which the plant

A good stand may be obtained by
the thick planting of poor seed, but
with an optimum stand of plants from

when the seed is injured by normal
