ATTENTION TO SETTING HENS

Crude Petroleum Spray May
injure Eggs.

Great care should be taken to keep

lively against the mites when many

crude petroleum sprays, used freely
about the house at that time. may soil
the eggs and prevent successful hatch
ing. Infested quarters, therefore,
should be treated thoroughly before
hens are set, so as TO start them in
nests which are absolutely clean. Be
meath the straw of the nest layer
of lime and sulphur will tend to pre-
vent mite breeding, and IL entire nest
may be busted occasionally with py-
rethrum. Broken eggs and the straw

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 GO bats.
The material-scattered one teaspoon
full to 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
10 chance for the rodents 20 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 eradica-
ton, as they hull oats very carefully
before eating them, ard hence avoid
u e poison. Therefore 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
(alkalold) and one ounce of baking
soda, one teaspoonful of saccharin and
three tablespOonfuls of -four, adding
little cold water and stirring thorough
iy to smooth, creamy paste. This
mixture is distributed uniformly over
IL 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 SPUR
re!s 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 bats 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 cult
waited fields where complete extermina-
ton Of the pests is sought.
