'Every PAfR Warranted' So many Inaccurate statements In regard to the work of tho Nebraska station In exterminating prairie dogs have appeared In tho press that it Beenis well to give an authorized ac count of the work done to date, al though the experiments are Incomplete. Tho work was Inaugurated a number of yenrs ago under the general direc tion of Dr. A. T. Peters. He worked out a formula for poisoning the dogs, which with some slight modifications, haa been adopted by the government exports and others engaged In the work. There arp, however, certain ob jections to the use of poison, chief of which is the danger attending its rtse, and the fact that under favorable conditions only a certain percent of the dogs Is exterminated. Carbon bi sulphide hns been used with better success. TIiIh substance kills the dogs by asphyxiation. The method is to In troduce it Into the holes by means of any absorbent material, covering the holes with sod and allowing the fumes to do their work. This is a brief out line of the methods in vogue up to the present time. After the passage of the law requir ing the extermination of prairie dogs, the station took up the work trying to find a cheaper mothod than any yet proposed. During the early part of the summer laboratory experiments were conducted by Dr. S. Avery. A great many substances capable of liberating gases wcie employed. The most prom ising of these proved to be a light hy drocarbon obtained as a by-product in the manufactuie of I'intsch gas. This substance in the laboratory proved to lit; ah deadly as carbon bisulphide. Its cost is less than one-tenth as much as the sulphide. Drs. Peters and Avery experimented together at Springvlcw on a field be longing to Senator Brown Three holes weie dug out and dead dogs foifnd in each Instance. I atcr Dr Peleis con ducted experiments on the RUhards Comstock rainh, and Dr. Aery con ducted experiments on the lanch of tlie Standard Cattle company. Holes lieat ed with the substance and covered, if located near the untreated holes, were gcneially found open later, but i emote hole? showed no evidence of the work of th live dogs. The evidence, there fote, Is strong that tho hples treated, covered and afterwards found opened from the outside by dogs from the parts of the town which had not been treated. In order to obtain conclusive evi dence It Is planned to select a small town and treat every hole In it with Plntsch gas. If all tho dogs are killed by this process full dotails of the work will bo given to the public. From the data at hand It looks as though the Plntsch product wore quite as effecthe as the expensive carbon bi sulphide. In case, however, the for mer does not prove to be sufficiently deadly a plan will be taken up looking towards treating it on' a commercial scale with certain very deadly gases. This statement, although incomplete, Is given to the public in order to cor rect certain erroneous Impresslonsonnd to nssext our claim to prloity In case tho method proves In all respects sat isfactory. ,As soon as tho field experiments are complete, a bulletin issued by tho de partment of animal pathology and ag ricultural chemistry will appear. In this bulletin full details of tiro work will be given. The librarian yesterday received a shipment of books direct from Ger mang. Among c.o more Important vol umes are ten volumes of Marten's and De Coursey's "Collections of Treaties Relating to tho History of Europe In tho Eighteenth and Nineteenth Cen turies." This set will be used exclu sively by tho department of European history.
