but also In the Irrigated alfalfa fields,

The sage rat is a small, brown, go--pher-llke
squirrel, which lives In bur
rows In the ground ana multiplies rap-
Idly. To Inoculate the rats with the germs
f a fatal and contagious dlsesse and
i allow them to spread the disease among
' their neighbors by natural association
seems to be the only practical way of
destroying them. ' ..,
Two farmers of this district laM. sea
son kept- eount of the sage rats they
killed In various ways and know that
i they destroyed over 1,009 of them along
their fields, and yet, they assert, there
"were just as many rata remaining there

world-renowned trout stream. The In

ing nrms are kept constantly busy. Mr.
Peterson contemplates havlna - barsres

will be the shipping point . from . the

that horse cara will be run for a time
