Directions for Mixing
Measure the oats into a tub or tight
box.
Add the gIycerine and then ~saccharin
to the syrup, the saccharin being first dis
solved in a little warm water. "a two
quart stew pan is a good vessel to use.)
Stir thoroughly until well mixed.
3-NOw, mix the s%trychnine and soda to-
gether in dry form, crushing all Jumps,
and add this to the syrup mixture. Beat
until well mixed.
stirring and beating until a smooth creamy
paste, free from Jumps, is formed. The
starch paste is formed by dissOlving one
tablespoonful of laundry starch in One-halt
cup of cold water and stirring this into
three-fOurths pint Of boiling water, boiling
and stirring constantly until a clear, thin
paste is formed.
5-POur the mixture over the oats and
mix until there are no dry kernels remain
I The addition Of two tabIespoonsful o.
table salt to the mixed bait adds to it,
attractiveness. The bait will dry quickl!
and is then ready for use.
Method Of Feeding
About q tablespoonful of the pOinSOneC
oats should be placed on the clean, hare
surface near the entrance of each burrOW
Bait that is dripped in thick grass, lOOs
dirt or down the holes is largely wasted

early in the morning has been found mos

strength Of the bait.
It is best to keep away from the pOisone
area for about "a hours after the spread
ing, as a prairie dog disturbed before eat
ing a dose sufficient to be fatal, may No
return because Of the sickening effect G

Since the bait is highly poisonous, car

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
Boys and Girls Clubs Proving a Big Farm
Asset; SOlUing Many Agricultural Problems

Hampshires on Lee county farms and the
county has become noted as a center for
good Hampsh1res. Just q few months ago.
according TO Alex r. Moffat, Lee county
club agent, a Texas man wired for q car
load or Hampshire sOWs. Large numbers
Of the boys and girls are continuing to
build up nerds Of purebred Hampshires
from the pigs they secured in the club at
little or no cash outlay. And in many in.
stances they have convinced their dads of
the greater value Of purebred hogs and of
of sanitation.
Jersey, Holstein and Guernsey dairy
clubs under the direction Of the Lee County
Better Da1rying association, have also been
started this year. Mr.. Emile F. Renaud,
KeOkuk Jeweler and public-spirited citizen.
is the prime mover back Of this Organiza
ton. The county is also noted for other
clubs besides it's champion pig club. There
are. for example, 16 girls clothing clubs
with $50 girls enrolled, and seven poultry
clubs composed of 80 BOYS and girls.
l could go on indefinitely telling about
individual cases Of Lee county boys and
girls and what club work has done for the
lcounty's agriculture and business, but tim,
will not permit.
There are numerous other communities il
the country where just as much has beer
accomplished as in Lee county. There ar,
more than 100000 boys and girls enrolled
If is going to mean more and more to tn
nation and to the world. Boys and girls
club work is here to stay. 1t is the great

for good citizenship and for developing tn
farm managers and business and pOlitica

THE C~OPPERCARB
SMUT TREATMENT
(FrOm Montana state COllege)

HEN treating seed wheat with
NJ copper carbonate dust to pre-
w vent smut, it is absolutely es-
sential to thoroughly mix the dust
with the seed if the treatment is to be
successful, advises the agrOnOmy de-
partment at Montana State College.
The dust method of smut control is
the most effective means of control
ling smut, the department advises,
but it requires careful attention to
details. When the treatment fails to
give proper results it is usually due
to improper mixing of dust with the
seed.
County agents throughout the state are
pointing out that to, get the proper benefit
of copper carbonate dust the seed kernels
must be entirely covered with a fine coat
ing Of dust. Merely shOveling over a pile
of seed to which the dust has been added
will not accomplish the purpose. There
also are some mixing machines in use
which will not do the work effectively. In
order to get the desired coating Of dust on
each kernel, the kernels must be rubbed
together for a considerable period. This
can be done only with dust-tight machines
made especially for this purpose.
Tn extension agents also point out tina,
the film Of dust on the grain is not effect
i've until it becomes mOiStened. The dus
does not kill the smut. When the seed il
planted moisture from the soil dissolve
the copper-carbOnate and the reSultinj
poisonous solution kills the smut.
A special effort is being made %thrOughOu
the state this year to bring about a wide
use of copper carbonate in treating whea
seed. Farmers unfamiliar with the methOu
are urged to call upOn their nearest count
agricultural agent. The method treatin
seed with dust is simple but the few djreC
tions must be strictly followed.

Here's the secret of giving lingerie,
stockings, etc., the most gorgeous
tints. All tints are really cOlOrs. So
real dyes. Get an envelope of the
actual dye powder at any drugstore,
for fifteen cents. Do your own dilut-
ing, which saves money and gives you
the exact shade you want.
Diamond dyes do perfectly beauti-
full tinting-in cold water. A dip, and
it's done. And true dyes don't streak!
Dye-tinting doesn't look weak, how
ever delicate a tone you use; o does
it wash out %uneyenly. When you
want the tint to be permanent, just
use boiling water instead of cold!
Regular dyeing of all dress ma
~terials, Grapes, ETC., just as easy. Ask
druggist for color cards and sHgges-
tions. Or, a wealth of ideas in full

POISONED ATS FOR
PRAIRIE DOGS

DRAIRIE dogs find oats poisoned
with strychnine not at all con-
- ducive to long life, according to
the experience of many farmers in
Yellowstone county, who have effect
lively exterminated the pest by en-
plOying this simple and time-tried
method. Although attempts at eradi-
cation have been made for a number
of years, prairie dogs are still a seri-
GUS pest in many parts of the county.
This is not because determination is
difficult but because there has been
no continued and concerted effort to
get rid of the rodents.
Prairie dogs are far easier to poison than
gOphers because the location of all holes is
so apparent under their custom Of living
in colonies or dog towns" The use of
the poisoned oats bait has been found most
effective in early spring when all other
feed is scarce and the present is the best
time to make the poison attack while the
rodents are hungry from their long win
ter's Information and will give attention ia
bait properly spread for them.
Protection to Birds
Oats is used in the bait mixture not only
because IL IS usually cheaper but as a pro
lection to birds who might eat wheat bait
but do not relish oats. 1t is important tC
mention that careful observation and eX
per1mentS nave shown that birds, particu'
larly prairie chickens, are not affected by
the poisoned oats and no fear need be en-.
tertained that it is dangerous for them.
The poisoned oats bait is distributed
from the county agents office at absolut,
cost, averaging 10 cents a pound in 10
pound bags. For those who prefer theil
own bait the following standard formula i
given. Attention is called to the kind O
s%trychnine required as the powdered aka
lOid s~trychnine gives better results thai

The formula is by the United States bio
