THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , JANUARY 4 , 1907
Poisoning Gophers.
An Iowa subscriber writes
asking for a method of destroy
ng pocket gophers , which are
working freely in his meadow.
The North Dakota Experi
ment Station issued a bulletin
some time since on this subject ,
in which they recommended
the following :
"Bring a quart of vinegar to
* ' ' boiling , add one ounce of strych-
V nine , stir with a stick until
lully dissolved , then add six
quarts of hot water , pour this
on twenty pounds of wheat or
corn and allow to stand for
about eighteen hours , or until
the solution is entirely absorbed ,
but the mass must be frequent
ly stirred vigorously so that it
Vill become uniformly saturated
with the poison. The grain
should now be spread out to dry
Khere it cannot be reached by
animals or children , for you
have a highly poisoned grain.
Now dissolve six pounds of
sugar in six quarts of water and
boil until one gallon remains ,
then allow to cool. When cold
add a teaspoonful of anise oil ,
which can be had at any drug
store. You now have a thick
.syrup which should be poured
over the nearly dry poisoned
grain and the whole stirred seas
as to cover each grain with a
layer of syrup. Allow the
grain to thoroughly dry , stir seas
as to prevent its sticking in a
mass. The odor of anise on it is
very attractive to the gopher
and each kernel should contain
enough poison to destroy one
gopher. This sugar-coated
grain can be used at any time ,
but care should be taken to pre
vent any poisoning of birds , or
animals. A little of this grain
buried near each gopher burrow
will be pretty sure to attract
and destroy its victim. "
The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture also recom
mends strychnine prepared in
practically the same way. [ n
addition to poisoning with
strychnine the department has
recommended carbon bisulphide ,
where the conditions are fav
orable. That is , where the
burrows arc simple and the soil
moist. The bisulphide is poured
over a bunch of cotton , rags , or
other waste material , and push
ed into the burrow and the lat
ter closed at once. Probably
the strychnine poisoning method
will be most satisfactory.
Hugh Philips , an old time
cattle feeder of Ilumboltlt , who
was at the Kansas City stock
yards the past week with a ship
incut of shortfed steers , thinks
that fewer cattle arc being fed
in that community this year than
last. This cutting1 down in cattle
feedinghe says , is not due to a
lack of feed , nor to the price of
corn , as the country is full of
corn that can be bought at 30
cents a bushel. "Hut a good
mailof the old cattle feeders
have dropped out during the past
year , " said Mr. Philips , "and
good man } ' farmers have gone
into the sheep feeding- business
All who have been feeding cattle
during the past few years , know
that but little money was made
at it. Fat cattle sold too low to
make feeding profitable. But
those who have gone to sheet :
feeding have been making money
and they are still at it. No less
than 50,000 head of sheep are or
feed in that vicinity , and in other
places smaller numbers scattered
around , making a good irYhnv al
together. "
It's a pleasure to tell our readers
about a Cough Cure Hko Dr. Shoop's.
For years Dr. Shooph as fought against
the use of Opium , Choloroform , or
other unsafe Ingredients commonly
Cough remedies. Dr. Sheep , it seems ,
has welcomed the Pure Food and Drug
Law recently enacted , for ho has work
ed along similar lines many years.
For nearly 20 years Dr. Shoop's Cough
Cure containers have had a warning
printed on them against Opium and
other narcotic poisons. Ho has thus
made it possible for mothers to protect
their children by simply insisting on
having Dr. Shoop's Cough Curn. Sold
by all dealers.

As It Is.
Is there any warrant for the
use of the word leave in the
following sentence : "It was
impossible to send those papers
with the others , but we will
leave them follow shortly ? "
.1. RAAH13.
This is an error so common as
to amount to a provincial error.
A provincialism in speech may
be inelegant because it has not
been deemed worthy of incor
poration in educated speech ,
yet it remains good speech
within the limits of those wlio
habitually use it. But an error ,
even if so widespread as to
seem provincial , remains error
to the end. So with this ; com
mon as it is , it displays the lack
of such a modicum of education
us is necessary to examine the
dictionary. "Leave" not only
may not be used in the place of
the vtirb "let" which the sense
demands , but in the earlier uses
of "leave , " which may yet be
found in the Bible Engish , it
has a line ot sense which dia
metrically contradict the sense
of permission and convey the
idea of desisting or leaving on" .
The confusion of "leave" and
"let" finds its origin in such a
form of speech as "leave me
be. " This is good English ,
albeit inelegant , and has a
weight of history behind it.
It is stronger than "let me
be , " but in the course of time it
has come about that as the two
phrases have reached the same
sense , therefore the two words
within they differ are regarded
as synonymous , which they are
not.

John Wemcrt of Rule believes
in diversified stock feeding as
well as diversified farming , and
he seems to make itago all right.
The past week lie shipped a car
load of lambs of his own feeding
to Kansas City. He bought these
lambs 'JO days ago , put a gain of
15 pounds to the head on them ,
and sold them at n nice advance.
Besides feeding several carloads
of heifers that he expects to
market after the holidays. lie is
well stocked up on hogs , and
they arc the kind to sell. His
seven months old hogs weigh 200
pounds per head , and are doing
well. "I regard the outlook for
the feeder as very bright , " said
Mr. Weinert. "Corn is selling
around 30 cents a bushel , which
is low enough to feed at a profit ,
and the prices on all kinds of live
stock are advancing. Hogs are
bound to go still higher , and
good cattle will no doubt hold
up. "
Does Coffco disagree with you ; .
LJrobtibly it does ! Then try Dr.
Shoop's Healt Cflee. "Health Coffee'
is a clever Combination of parched
cereals and nuts. Not a grain of real
CotTee remember' in Dr Shoop's

neys can't stand Coffee drinking , trjj
Health CoiTce. It is wholesome ,
nourishing' , and satisfying. It s safe

The local merchants were
greatly benefited by the good
roads and good weather proceed
ing the holidays. The sales this
year were greater in volumnthan
ever before , and buyers from a
long distance found it worth
while to make Palls Citv their
shopping headquarters.
Piles get quick relief from Dr.
Shoop's Magic Ointment. Remember-
it's made alone for Piles and It works
with certainty and satisfaction. Itch
ing , painful , protruding , or blind piles
disappear like magic by its use. Try
it and see ! For sale by all dealers.
The Speaker having refused to
take the matter up Mr. Pollard
has exercised his right of preson-
al privilege and introduced a
resolution referring the question
of his much discussed salary to
the committee on Judiciary with
instructions to report its findings
to the house during the present
session. The resolution was
passed without objection. In the
meantime Mr. Pollard has intro
duced a bill in the house which
will settle the matter for the
future if he is able to get the
bill enacted into law. This bill
provides that hereafter congress
men elected to fill vacancies shall
be paid from the time of their
election instead of from the date
the vacancy occurred.

Keep
Your Nerve
It is nerve energy that runs
the organs of your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord , and from .this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty of nerve force ; if
you have not , the organs work
imperfectly , the circulation is
sluggish , digestion bad , appe
tite poor , kidneys inactive , and
aches , pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with Dr. Miles' Nervine.
It assists in generating nerve
energy ; it strengthens the
nerves and makes the whole
system strong and vigorous.
"I take pleasure In recommending
Dr. Miles' Nervlno to those suffering
from nervous prostration , Insomnia
and melancholy. After several
months suffering from above diseases
I tried this medicine and found Imme
diate relief. It soothes and strength
ens the nerves , chases away the
gloomy and depressing thoughts and
elves the sufferer renewed strength
and hope. It Is a superb nerve re
storer. "
