LIPPMAN & CO. to a Club, usually called an Im provement Club having the usual officers of all organizations and in addition, an official poison mixer and distributer who has charge of the mixing of the poison mixtures and distribution of same and is usually paid by thecomunity for the time he must put in. This man dis covers when rabbits are thickest ! and weather is most favorable for ' getting the rabbits and orders a general poisoning wnen all is favor able. Also, where possible, all communities in the county will dis tribute the poison at the same time so that no rabbits will miss a chance at it wheresoever they may be. Mr. Ward and other men in Jhis service have had several years ex perience in the eradication of rab bits as a pest. Eighty-eight differ-1 ent poison mixtures have been tried j out by him and'the poisoned alfalfa ! hay and the poisoned oats mixture have been fo nd most efficient to the present time. The following preparations are recommended for use until the results of experiments now in progress in this section be come available: POISONED ALFALFA HAY. Dissolve one ounce of strychnine sulphate in two gallons of hot water and rprinkle over sixteen pounds of good leafy alfalfa hay cut into one or two inch lengths. This poisoned hay may be scattered in very small quantities along rabbit trails, or ex posed in small heaps in locations from which stock is excluded. POISONED OATS. ' Mix one tablespoon of gloss starch j :n one-half teacup of cold water and stir one pint of boiling water until it makes a thin, clear paste. Mix'one ounce of powdered strych nine, preferably alkaloid, with one ! ounce of powdered bicarbonate of soda, Arm and Hammer Soda, stir with the starch paste to a smoothe, creamy mass. Stir in one-tenth ounce of saccharine, apply to twelve quarts of good clean oats and mix thoroughly to coat each kernel. Scatter sparingly along rabbit trails, about a tablespoonful at each place, or expose more liberally where stock is not endangered. To obtain best results, distribute in tablespoonfuls along trails and about hay stacks or stock yards where rabbits are feeding regular ly. It is a good plan to bate them to a favorable spot by placing a few forkfuls of alfalfa in a clearing in the sagebrush or in fence corners. Do not expect results if poison is exposed on rainy, windy nights when rabbits are scarce. Cold, clear nights in November, December and January when snow is on the ground and natural food is scarce are best for exposure of the poison. CAUTION Keep all utensils used in prepar ing poisons, sacks containing poison, etc., plainly labeled and out of the reach of children, livestock and ir responsible persons. Poisoned alfal fa is dangerous for livestock when ever they can reach it and must be out of fields or corralls in which it watched to see that it does not blow is placed and stock thus become en dangered. When poisoned oats are properly distributed in slightly setat tered doses there is comparatively little danger to stock on the range blit, since this statement must de pend entirely upon the distribution of the poison, all responsibility for endangering livestock must be taken by the one putting out the poison. , AH oisons are most effective when conditions are most favorable and the distribution of these poisons when conditions are unfavorable, as they have been in this section' dur- Pioneer; 591 The Picadilly Overcoat $15.00 Mea' Saiti, OM of kiad ticcst BId Street 33 t. 44 $15, $20 A A It mm mm f III ii V:- ; i. v - TO vi SraWrftf, KinraiJ t.m.
