STRYCHNINE' USEFUL
TO DESTROY RABBITS
Good Lively Machine Gun Is
Harmless in Comparison.
Record of 1000 Animals to One Ounce
of Poison Made in Gooding Coun-
ty, ldaho-Campaigns in 9th
err Western States.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
A good lively machine gun is harm
less when compared to strychnine-
at least when it is used to extermi-
nate rabbits. In Lincoln county, Ida
no, the farmers, working in co-opera-
ton with the biological survey, United
States Department of Agriculture, re-
port that one ounce of the poison killed
400 rabbits. Farmers in GoOding coun-
ty did even better with their poison
and averaged 1.00u rabbits to the
ounce. Minidoka county, conducting
a poison campaign under the direction
of the bureau, killed 10000 rabbits.
These figures are illustrative of the
work that has been done under gov
eminent direction in discriminating
rabbits in the western states, where
they are so plentiful as to be extreme
~ destructive to orchards and crops.
Large scale campaigns We're organized
in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Nevada,
Utah and Arizona under the leader
ship of Department of Agriculture rep
resentatives and along cooperative
lines in which the state governments,
the state extension service, and the
land owners assumed a share of the
responsibility In addition to the poi
SQning methods, great rabbit drives
were conducted, some of which re-
suited in the killing of as many as
10000 rabbits.
The representatives of the bureau
Of biological survey emphasize the fact
that, in the West, the rabbit is a seri-
Gus menace. Rabbits often devastate
large fields of grain and destroy val
liable orchards and vineyards. There
are instances where orchards repre-
sentIng the work and savings of a life
time, and which constitute the sole
support of the owner, have been com.
pletely destroyed in single night by

GETTING PRODUCTS TO CITY
Object in Building Roads Should Be
to Enable Farmer to Get Best
Prices for Crops

Since the use of public roads is
primarily in the transportation of
farm products and farm necessities,
the aim in building them shoud4be
to serve the best business of the ma
ton, Of which more than One-half Is
farming, and the roads should form a
state system connected with the sys-
tens in adjoining states.
This means that the road instead
Of being from a farm to one market,
is one from many farms to many mar
kets. BY cheap, quick delivery to
shipping points such system will en-
able the farmer to have access to
competitive markets and thus at all
times to secure the best prices for his
produce.

The better sires campaign recently

may prove fatal to the poults.
AS the pOults grow, lice will some

for them. If one looks in the hollows
or creases on the upper side Of the

lice. Grease applied to these places
will prove effective in getting rid of

Then remove it from the water and

it Ia this manner for several min
utes. Then take the cloth off. If
there are no lice, on it, the turkey
is free from them, and some other ex-
PLANTATION than lice must be sought for
its condition. Usually, however, q
surprisingly large number of lice will
be found on the cloth, even in cases
where a cursory examination had con.
vinced the owner that it was absolute

Department of Agriculture say, that
all rubbish and dead plants be re-
moved and burned to protect the crops
of next season from the insects and
disease spores which infest the debris.
A few hours of work in the garden
now will save serious losses another
year. Gather the bean poles tomato
stakes. and any removable trellises or
wires, store the good ones until they
are again needed; then pull, rake to-
gether, and burn all the dead vines
and plants left in the garden. If these
are too wet or green to burn, they may
be gathered in small piles for a few
days to dry and then piled together
and burned.
Spread Manure In Winter.
Winter is a good time TO spread
rough manure over the garden. This
serves double purpose, in that it
adds fertility to the soil and also pro-
tectS the soil from washing and blow
Ing. Heavy clay soils should be broken
up and left rough and lumpy before
applying the manure. The kind of
manure TO use for this purpose is not
important, so long az it is not filled
with weed seeds or trash of any kind.
Manure in which straw has been used
for bedding can be taken direct from
the stable and spread on the garden
as surface cover during the winter,
the rough part being either plowed IN
der in the spring or raked off and put
in the compost heap. The finer part
remaining on the ground can be
worked into the top soil in preparing
the seed bed next spring.
Compost Heap Helpful.
Compost made by piling up sods
manure, and any material having fer
tilizing value will be needed in prepar-
ing special soil for seed beds and for
starting plants next spring. Now is
the time to make a compost heap. The
best method Is to obtain Il load of
manure, prepare a level space by 6
feet, spread . or inches of the
manure over this space, follow with a
layer of sod which has been chopped
into pieces with sharp spade, then
additional layers of manure and sod
until all of the manure has been used.
AS rule, the natural rainfall dur
ing the winter will be sufficient to
keep the pile properly moistened. and
as spring approaches roof of boards,
or OTHER covering, should be placed
over the pile so it will not be too wet
for use when needed. When the time
comes to use 1t, the COMPOST should be
cut from one end of the pile with a
sharp spade, then thoroughly worked
over and screened before it is placed
In seed boxes or in the hOtbed
Experienced gardeners keep com
post heap going in one corner of the
garden from one years end to another,
and all surplus manure and sod are
placed in it. AS consequence, these
gardeners always have supply of
good loan for preparing special plant
beds or tOp-dressing piece of land
for the growing of lettuce or other in
tensive crop.
