POISONING PRAIRIE DOGS

They Are a Serious Rest to Western Farmers and Stockmen. Who would think that the prairie dog, .the shy and 1 amusing little rodent that we like to watch before the door of Ms burrow at the soo, wpuld ever become the subject of Government intervention or endanger the success of stock raising? Yet such is the fact, says the Technical World. Out on the national forests which Uncle Sam is guarding for the use of the public expert hunters have gone after the prairie dogs with zeal —and poison—and the work will go on yet more vigorously next year. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the work an area of some 60,000 to 75,000 acres of actual dogtown was selected for the test by the United States Forest Service. From 80 to 90 per cent of the dogs were killed with the first distribution of the poison. The poison is prepared by coating wheat with a preparation of strychnine, cyanide of potassium, anise oil and molasses. When a sufficient quanlty is ready the poisoned wheat is carried to the field of operations. There the stockmen gladly supply men and horses, and the wheat is given out to the riders and distribution begins. Each rider carries the wheat in a tin pail supported by a gunny sack slung across his right shoulder and hanging at his left side. His left hand is free for the reins. With his right hand he uses a tablespoon to measure out the poison and drop it near the entrance of the holes. A little practice enables the men to drop the wheat while keeping their horses on a sharp, trot By crossing the town to and fro, like a man sowing grain, they can cover a large area in a surprisingly short time. It is necessary to go over the ground a second time, and by spotting the occupied holes the remaining dogs will easily be killed with a very small amount of poison. The average cost an acre for the poisoning material is one and one-half cents. Prairie dogs are very obnoxious to the stockmen, for they devour much grass and undermine the surface ot the ground with their burrows. Where they establish themselves the destruction of the range is only a question oi time. While it is hard to say just what amount of feed a prairie dog will consume in the way of grass, it has been estimated by the United States Biological Survey that thirtytwo prairie dogs will consume as much grass as one sheep, or 256 dogs as much as one cow.

Fully Equal.

Aunt Mandy is an old colored woman who for years has done washing for several families. She has had several mantrimonial experiences, and when her last husband died one oi her customers attempted to condole with her. “I was very sorry to hear of youi husband’s death, Aunt Mandy,” she said. . "Ya’as, ma’am,” said Aunt Mandy. "He was a pow’ful good man.” “What did he die of?" “Ah really don’t know, ma’am.” "You don’t know,! Gracious! Could not the doctor tell you?” "Ah didn’t have no doctah, ma’am,” said Aunt Mandy. “He jes done died a natch’ral death.” It wasn’t long, however, before Aunt Mandy had another husband. “I hear you are married again,” re marked her patron one day. "Ya’as, ma’am,” giggled Aunt Mandy, “Ah was done married las* Sunday.” "And is your new husband equal tc the last?” “Ya’as, indeedy, ma’am,” said Aunt Mandy. “He’s jes as equal, if not equaller.”

Value of Snake Skins.

It Is said to be a hard matter to skin a dead snake so that the skin will remain in good condition; consequently, in many regions of the world where snakes are caught for the purpose ol supplying the market with skins for pocketbooks, belts, etc., the snake le skinned alive, an operation which inflicts upon this arch enemy of man the most intense pain. Some are skinned dead, but the difference in price of skins taken from the dead reptile and those from the one alive does not make the more humane method popular. Dead snakes bring only from 2 to 5 cents, while live ones bring from 25 cents to sl. Sumatra has a number of snake skin factories-, as that tropical island abounds in the ophidian species. When a hunter brings in a live snake, one operator takes it by the neck and another bj the tall, and the reptile la attached by the neck to a tree trunk. A sharj knife is used to cut the akin juat be low the head, and then, while the other holds the anake taut, the first operator peels the akin from th« squirming body. The reptile, minus itc skin, writhes in excruciating pain for an hour or so before it dies.

LOVE'S YOUNG DREAM

“Hem!” began the Bom. “I hardly expected a $lO raise would affect matters so soon. I knew you must have begun saving money when I saw you at the park the other night and noticed you had developed a passion for music instead of shooting the chutes and flopping the flops. But awhile back I thought you must have lost out, you smoked so many cigarettes and looked so sorry for yourself.” The Young Man smiled. “That was part of the game,” he explained. “What game? Tell me all about it, my boy, and don’t omit a thing. And here, take a cigar to keep your hands occupied. You’ve bitten off 14 fingernails already, Now let it come. No, never mind my time. Proceed.” The Young Man accepted the cigar and proceeded. “Well, sir—my mind has been made up all along—it was her or nobody for me. I’m no art commission, but she suits me for beauty. And as for disposition—why, honestly, it’s worth while getting tired and blue and grumpy just to have her make you forget it. “But I had strong competition. He was an out-of-town chap, but that only lent him glamour. When a feL low makes a tiresome journey just to spend a few hours with a girl she appreciates it —and she doesn’t get far miliar enough with him to see his weak points. And when that fellow makes the trip often the town fellow would better think. I began thinking and concluding that the fellow I had been using as a trailer at first was now kicking dust back at me, and that such a cloud of romance hung around him that she couldn’t see what a duffer he was. Then I kept on thinking until I hit a scheme. “I knew her father was mighty strongly on my side. I had an idea we rivals were frequently brought into family discussions. So I called on the old gentleman at his office. “‘Father,’ I said, ‘something must be dona’ “ ‘Rigifit my boy,’ he replied, ‘but what?’ “Then I told him my game. He got interested pretty soon an< gpomised to help mo. “Next evening I called. FaWar received me coldly and addressed me as Mr. —he usually calls me Tom. Mother, too, was distant and looked worried. But the girl was defiantly friendly, and we had a bully time until ten o’clock, when c-i the floor above us we heard a boot bump, bump, bump. “‘Can that mean for me to go?’ J asked incredulously. “ ‘O, surely not,’ she replied. But two minutes later there was a heavy tread upstairs and father called over the banisters: “ ‘My dear, it is very late.’. “‘Why, father, it’s only ten, ’ she answered. “ ‘lt is very late, I say,’ replied far ther, emphatically. “My offending dignity as I left was worth seeing. “Two evenings later I inveigled the ‘other fellow’ into attending a ‘missionary tea.’ There he met the wildest bunch of Comanches I could collect. They not only shocked him, but won S2O from him.- ——

“Well, to shorten- this, father and mother knocked me, and my rival was fool enough to join in. She was a loyal, spirited girl whe die her own thinking and believed in me, so she stuck to me. “At the proper time father forbade me the house. Then we got to meeting each other downtown and soon started figuring how two could live cheaper than one. Yesterday, ‘to put an end to opposition,’ we calmly got married. And now everybody’s happy—and I’ve reformed.” The Boss chewed his cigar. “Sixty a month isn’t much to mart ry on,” he said at last, “but there may be a better opening soon. Go home now and don’t show up here for a week. Don’t thank me—you’ve wasted too much of my time already.” The Young Man left, but the Boss did not Immediately get busy. He opened his watch and forgot to close it for some timk ”1 wish I’d had his nerve at his age,” he muttered. “I’m deucedly tired of hotel life.” It was the back lid of his watch into which he was looking.—Kansas City Times.

Nuts Used as Candles.

The candle nut is a native of the Pacific Islands, an<| the name is derived from the fact that the kernels are so full of oil that, when dried, they can be stuck on reeds and used as candles. The people of Hawaii, after having roasted these nuts and removed the shells, reduce the kernels to a paste, which, when flavored with pepper and salt, is said to be a most appetizing dish. The busk of the nut and the gum which exudee from the tree have medicinal values, while the burned shell is used to make an Indelible Ink, with which tattooing la done.

Old Flag Preserved.

The Baltimore Sun states that the flag that floated over Fort McHenry and inspired Francis Scott Key to his Immortal national hymn was made by Mr*. John Pickeragin in the old house at the northwest earner of Pratt and Albemarle streets, Baltimore.
