Pta-migan Coming Down from High
Hills
The Pitkin Miner.
Quite a flock, some fifteen, of the
mountain quail, or ptarmigan, have
been residing near the fish hatchery
the past week, the deep snow in the
hills undoubtedly causing them to
seek a lower range for food.
The little fellows are very beauti-
full, with their wonderful white plum
age, and are very hard to detect as
they sit on the snow.
We have been hoping to get snap
shot of them before they return to
the mountains, but as yet have been
unable to do SO, although they are
not at all wild and may be approached
easily-when you have no camera.

MARRIED MEN BEST WORKERS
Chances for Securing Employment or
Farm Are Less Than SO Per
Cent for Single Men,

If you want a job on farm your
chances of getting 1t are slightly better
than 80 per cent if you are married,
and slightly less than so per cent If
single. But If you're married and have
children your chances are around 40
per cent.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has found that, Of 1901
farm jobs advertised in eastern farm
papers from 1920 to 1922, single men
were wanted in 1877 instances, and
married men in 416 instances. In 398
cases the social requirements were not
stated.
OF the advertisements for married
men children specifically were not
wanted in "a Instances. Children were
wanted or were permissible in IA In
stances.
Many farmers who hire laborers
have no dwellings to let and conse-
quently cannot employ married men, It
is said. If the farmer has a dwelling
for a laborer's family he prefers that
1t should be occupied.

WAR GASES PROPOSED
TO ERADICATE PESTS
Some Of Them Promise to Be
Quite Efficient.
Particularly Useful When Heavier
Than Air and Used on eurrowina
Rodents and Insects In
Stored Products.

prepared by the United States Department
of AErieultnrG)
Deadly gases that were developed
for war purposes are now being tried
out by the United States Department
of Agriculture'as means for destroy
ing noxious birds, animals, and insects.
Some of them promise to be useful
when applied under proper conditions,
particularly those that are heavier
than air and can be used on burrowinR
rodents, and possibly subterranean In
sects and pests in stored products.
The most recent proposal is to use
gas to kill destructive birds that con.
gregate in marshes. In the coming
fall the biological survey, In cooper
alton with the chemical warfare serv.
ice, is planning to make a trial of the
method on blackbirds in the Imperial
valley Of California. In that region
these birds are said to do at least $780,
600 worth of damage to the milo crop
each year. Because of their feeding
habits 1t Is impossible to destroy these
birds with poisoned bats, but, as they
rOost on the reeds In the marshes, 1t
is thought that they can be killed by
gas cloud at night when the wind Is
favorable. The blackbirds are migra.
tory and return to the same places
year after year. 1t is thought that
big killing in a certain locality viii
probably free 1t of the pests for many
years.
Arrangements also are being made
by the biological survey with the chem
ical warfare service for investigating
the possibility Of using poison gases on
such burrowing rodents as rats, prairie
dogs, ground squirrels, and wood
chucks.
EntomOlOgists Of the department
have already worked in cooperation
with the War department in testing
various gases on insect pests of grow.
ing plants and those that infest stored
grain, but 1t has not yet been found
advisable to recommend anything to
take the place Of hydrocyanic-acid gas
or carbon bisulphide.
The serious disadvantages of many
Of these new gases is that they are
dangerous or very irritating to men,
horses, and mules, and require the use
of masks and great care In handling.

SUMMER WEATHER AND FLIES
Many Calves Can Be saved II Given
Careful Attention and Kept In
Shaded PenS.

Hot weather and dies ruin a great
many calves. 1t is advisable to pro-
tect the young animals very carefully
during the fly season. Spring calves
are never allowed by some breeders
to pasture the first summer, but are
kept in shaded pens away from the
heat and flies. Fall calves likewise,
are not allowed pasture during the hot
days, but are turned out at night into
small paddocks or exercise pens. I'M
less the calf is getting plenty Of grain,
washy grass may dO-it more harm
than good.

Fashion Hard on Monkeys.

The dictates of fashion have exerted
a strong demand for black and white
fur trimmings, particularly in Paris.
The supply Of skins Is very limited
and not more than $4,000 to 10000
can be obtained in a year, says Consul
Cross at Alden, Arabia, in a report to
the textile division of the Department
of Commerce, without unduly raising
prices and extermlnating the monkey.
The price at Ads Abeba has been
fairly steady, the cheapest grades sell

KEEP HOE GOING IN GARDEN
Success Of Vegetable Crops Depends
Greatly on CuItivation-Plan
to Keep Weeds Out.

Much Of the success of vegetable
culture depends on keeping the hoe
going. Never miss a chance when the
ground Is in semimoist condition.
That Is just the very best time for the
work. Keep stirring as deeply as
possible between the rows Of all young
growing vegetables to open up the
soil and ley it ready for the action Of
sun and air. By this process weeds
never get foothold, far less reach the
seeding stage. If this plan is per-
sisted in one can almost see the
vegetables growing. It is not hard
work, and 1t is well worth the time it
takes.
