PLAGUE OF ' FIELD MICE
rat Tartrlaa; tm lrrtssate4 Realona ef

Purlng the last year In the Humbolt
valley, in th. state of Nevada, there has
! been a destructive plague of field mice,
causing enormous damage to the alfalfa
crop and all other' ef the farm products
of that fertile valley. Notwithstanding
the destruction wrought among them by
( their natural enemies, owls and hawks,
these field mice are Increasing .In such
I a umbers that not only th. region in which
' they now are la almost completely aa
' vested but, what Is ot far greater Import
mnce. they are a menace to the Truckee
C arson irrigation system, southwest of th.
I Humbolt eountry.
for the first time la American history
(' there Is an invasion of field mice Ilk.
those that l.ave occurred In many of th
Europeaa countries, where vast damage
'resulted. fUvada Is face to face with a
' problem the entire country will watch with
interest, and Its solution will probably b
..wlter to th. biological survey of tho Do
fpartment of Agriculture. Already th. prac
tical scientists ot th. .urv.y have studied
th.'actual onditlora on the spot and have
evolved a plan for the- wholesale destruc
tion of th. mic. '
Meadow mica are among th. most proline
of mammals. Ia th. western states they
raage from Alaska to lower California. Th.
species that la under consideration ia Mi
crotua Mvnlanua. a brownish-grey animal
of six to seveu Inches in length. They
aavv. runaty. ou th. ground and burrows
underneath In which they live and rear
.rir young, or which there are from four
to six in a litter. Estimating the normal
Increase at four litters a season, and as-
uming mere are no checks upon the in.
crease. m single pair and their young In
five season might amount to nesrly 1.004
000 mice. At all seasons of the year they
feed on grasses, green vegetation, unripe
seeds and fruits, and In Nevada, not con
tent with gnawing down the alfalfa, have
attacked the roots.
The quantity of green vegetation eaten
by a single advflt mouse ly the course of a
year aa been caleulated at from twenty,
four ta thirty-six pounds. At thle rate
1.000 meadow mice would require at least
twelve tonsN of grass or other green vege-
o maintain them for a year.
Vernon Bailey, who has recently returned
to Washington from his studies of th. con
dition, estimates titer, are about 10.000
mice to th. acre. Even during- th. day
they run over the fields by thousands, and
ft waa able to capture In Ms hands in
fifteen minuue. more than fifty. While
following a plough he captured 130 In thirty
mlnutsa. They war. taken tor experimental
purposes In determining the best poisons
to be used In their extermination, for ex
terminated they must be. The country
over which they foraged this year Is being
ploughed up at a great expense, and will
be sown with grain next year Instead ot
alfalfa, at a losa.
Testa showed that th. mic. succumbed
most quickly to arsenic, apparently eating
bait treated with it without the slightest
fear. Many ranch owners have used
phosphorus with god effect, but as It is
dangerous to handle Its uae la discouraged
Barley la soaked In wir , cntaliuc a
large per cent of arsenic, and then placed
In the burrows of th. mice, where no birds
or other animals known to prey upon mice
can get at it.
Some of the mic. were inoculated with
an Infectious disease, which they com
municated to their fellows. This methods,
however, was found Inadequate to the do
mands of the situation.
'As a part of Its scheme for the reclama
tion of arid and desert lands the govern
ment la expending millions of money In the
southwest In building a system of dams.
The Truckee-Carson project Is one. of th
greatest of these Irrigation plana. JuaU
.w ,u.a mt v arson da am the
mice are devastating ,the land. In a year
or two th. land, arouwd th. basin will be
under irrigation and the crop, will be
planted. Large capital will be Invested In
farming, and If no steps are taken to
destroy th. mic. of th. Humboldt area It
will be only a short time before they will
nilgTat. to th. hundreds of thousanda of
acres of the Careen basin, and once In
that section It would be a huge task to
even limit their depredations, lot alon. ax
terminate them.
Fortunately, there are In that country a
number of natural foes to th. mice, such
aa hawks, owls, herons, crows, skunks and
coyotea. They are .Ming In th. work of
extermination, but they csn do little to
keep down th. peat. On th. biological
survey rests th. solution ef thla problem.

Governor Austin L, Crothets of Maryland
has recently taken for his model In state
craft llaroun Al Kaschld, that famous ca
liph of Bagdad who wandered out Into the
streets of his capital in disguise to discover
whether there were any malefactors, molly-
coanits or other undesirable citizens therein
and punish them according to their deserts,
or to reward thos. of hi. subjects who were
worthy cf reward. Mr. Crothei. hss not
gon. so far in his Imitation of Caliph
Haroun aa to disguis. himself and go forth
in search of adventure, but he has Insti
tuted a series of personally conducted gum
shoe expeditions which. In all other re
spects, measure up to th. standard of the
oriental potentate whoae exploit, are re.
lated in those veracious chronicles, the
"Arabian Nights'' tales.
From time immemorial It has been the
practice of state legislature in Maryland
to vote large sum of money toward the
support of various schools. honiii. nt
charitable Institutions in the state, and one
Of th. dalles ot th. chief executive ha
been to tea that the Institutions which re
ceived th. appropriations are worthy of re
ceiving them and make good use of the
money. This duty has never been classed
among th. hardships of public office. It
ta a much mora pleasant duty than that of
satisfying a hungry hord. of office-seekers
and many other duties appertaining ta the
office.
When th. time rolls around for a visit by
the governor to a particular Institution that
Institution is notified concerning th. ap
proach of the gubernatorial party, and the
occasion is not only an occasion wherein
the sense of sight Is gratified, but one
wherein th. sense of tast. is also pleased,
for a luncheon 1. served. In Maryland a
luncheon Is a thing of beauty and a Joy
while It lasts. It is a collection of all th.
seasonable good things that the markets of
Maryland provide, together with a few of
the good things that can not b. had from
th. bay that Is the horn, of th. aristocratic
, terrapin, the farm whereon gambols the
springiest of spring lambs of the orchard
mad. famous by the sun-kisted peach. It Is
a signal for feasting and festivity, where
the corks pop and the bubbles bubble, for
there la but one drink fit to set before. so
distinguished a guest aa the governor of
Maryland and the dignitaries that compose
his retinue, according to tradition until re
cently held sacred and Inviolable.
Governor Crothers went forth into the
streets of Baltimore, th. great metropolis
ot Maryland, recently and told no one
where he was going. Bo it was that he
went to one of the institutions of that city
which la th. recipient of some of the state'm
revenues, a school" wherein certain- boy '
were represented to be Imps directly Un-,
ported .from .. tho Infernal regions, and
wherein the boys In turn said that the su
perintendent was a monkter In human f rm.
Bo it was that .the governor rang tha door
bell aa though he were plain John 8 nith
Instead o his excellency, Austin t Crnt ti
ers, governor of Maryland, and he went
through the place, and looked around and
taw much and said little, for he has thj
irritating little habit of refualng to talk
about what he Is going to do until he
doe it.
After he paid, tnli . visit , however, ; the
governor of Maryland gave an Inkling of
what he Intended to do. for he tald that in
the course ot time he would visit every In
stitution in the stat. of Maryland In pre
cisely the same manner, letting nobody
know whither he goes until he gets there,
least of all those in charge of the places he
Intends to vlplt. Hence, if he does not have
adventures equally as exalting as thos of
the illustrious Haroun, It will be because
there Is nothing doing these days In the
line of wicked sorcerers who turn people
into animals and because th. modern tribe
of grand viziers and viziers of less degree
are not asleep at the switch. Washington
