Unless this election is made prior to October 6. 1912, entrymen will be obliged to prove up under the law under which they made entry. Part of the commissioners’ notice reads as follows: ” If you wish to elect to make proof upon your entry under the law under which the same was made, you must give notice there of w ithin 120 days after June 6, 1912. to the register and receiver of the local land office. This no tice must be sent by registered mail, and may not be sent in any other way.” A blank form accompanies the notice for the use of the entry- man. The Spokesman for good printing T PIONEEF DEPT.

R abbits seem especiailf trouble some in young alfalfa and It may be possible to protect sm all plats is the less developed com m unities by chick en fencing. Poisoning is a very ef fective wav to com bat these rascals. The poison Is placed on shingles tn the rabbit runs and at field corners. A tea spoon of salt is placed on a shingle and pow dered strychnine sprinkled over it, using a quantity equal to half the site of a pea then m oisten slightly and sprinkle a trifle m ore salt over this. Sage rats have given considerable trouble, and w here not too num er ous these, like the rabbits, may be shot. Karly in the season they will eat grain th at has been poisoned^ with strychnine. Dissolve 1 eighth ounce of strychnine sulfate in two quarts of soft w ater, sweeteu slight ly and soak the grain in this forty- eight hours, after which it should be dried before putting out. The most effective treatm ent th at we have found at this tim e of year is carbon bisulfide. Pour about a tea spoon of this poisonous liquid on tom e ab sorbent, as a dry piece of horse dung, roll it down the burrow and plug up the holes. This liquid va porizes quickly and the gas form ed being heavier than air, settles dow n ward. suffocating all anim al life con fined. CAPTION: The gas from carbon bisulfide will explode, and all flames or pipes m ust be kept aw ay. L ittle red ants are very destruc tive and have been known to destroy is much as one acre In tw enty of grain. Karly and frequent discing ind continued cultivation expose* and kills these, and they are also very sensitive to odors, so th at bury ing the absorbent saturated w ' b carbon disulfide in ant hills will be very effective in destroying this pest. Pouring about a table spoon of ker osene Into each hill is a very ch ssp and effective m eans of killing these ants. They may also be trapped by burying bottles in their m ounds »<> the top of the bottle is flush w ith the surface. W ire worm s are hard, sm ooth, cy- C ontinued on Page 2 Ir" -v. i
