The Nebraska law goes so far as to declare that any one having land infested by prairie dogs and not getting rid of them Is maintaining a nuisance. The harbor-c-r of these anlma s is made liable for damages committed on other land. Highway commlbtioners are Instructed to see that the law 13 enforced. In the discharge of his duty connected with the extermination of prairie dogs the commissioner is allowed $3.00 per day and expenses and instructed to add the amount to the taxes of the land where the work of exterminating prairie dogs is done. This makes It necessary for the owner of land to he vigilant In tho extermination of the nuisance. The quickest and cheapest way to get rid of the dogs is to poison them, and this Is generally resorted to. In making tip the poison three ounces of strychnine and half a pound of potassium cyanide are put Into one quart of boiling water. To this two quarts of molasses and a teaspoonful of oil of anise are added. Then a bushel of wheat Is placed in a tight receptacle and the mixture la poured over it. It is then stirred, whl e four pounds of finely ground corn meal Is poured Into It. The molasses makes the liquid adhesive, so It will stick to the grains of wheat. The object of using the corn meal Is to absorb the superfluous liquid or syrup and thus enable the grains of wheat to carry- a larger amount of the poison. This poisoned grain is sown about the places by the dogs. They eat it and die In large numbers. There is, however, a decided sentiment against the use of the poison. Ranchmen and farmers hate to handle it and birds are frequently poisoned as well as the dogs. There is also some danger to live stock and children. Carbon blsutphido has been used for many years In the extermination of burrowing animals. It is costly, but it Is effective and is still being quite generally employed. It has the advantage of reaching all of the animals; for there are always some prairie dogs that will not eat the poisoned grain. The chemical mentioned Is put Into the burrows and changes to a gas that kills tbe anima.s. Ambiguous Last Words. Do Style What did your rich uncle leave you when he died? Gunbusta Nothing.

The soy bean is being more extensively grown in the North now than ever lefore. It is found that It will do well further north than the cow pea, and, lu fact, that it can be grown as far north as dent corn thrives. The farmers of Maine who grow largely only flint varieties of corn also raise the soy beau In a small way. It Is believed that this can be made one of the principal crops of the North. Its value for tbe feeding of cattle Is unquestioned, as it is very rich In get-ti- Tlt-Blt- nitrogen. In the growing of this crop success Is possibe only when the soil contains the bacteria that form tbe nodules on the roots. In that case the land will only need to have potash and phosphorus added to It, If it needs any fertilizers at all. The Medium Early Is found to be one of the besl varieties for forage. The land should be thoroughly prepared before the crop Is sown and tbe soil should b( kept cultivated. Drilling Is of course necessary if .the crop is to be cultl vated. Under such methods a crop li regarded as about eight tons. The forage may be fed green, mad Into bay or used In the form of siege The silage Is preferred by sheep ovei corn silage. It Is not probable, how ever, that It will ever take the place of corn tn the making of silage, as It can be advantageously used as a hay. In some places where both cow peas and soy beans are being raised the soy beans are preferred for tbe reason that they are much easier to be made Into hay, In the West, as In the East, the great need of the farm Is to have a cheap source of protein. Where a man has hogs that need a protein feed In winter it Is easy to believe that the sllnge made from soy beans would be better than the silage made from corn, as It would contain n ore of the protein so necessary to build up the muscular system of tho awlne. The soy bean has been loss ader-tlsetl.an tho cow pea and Is therefore being grown less extensively. It seems, however, that It has a wider range of growth, at least towards the north, than has the cow pea. It will bo wise for our farmers to try a small plot of soy beans next spring. d Change After Marriage. Howes Talk about men being changed by matrimony! , The women are Just as bad. If not worse.
