"Never mind if he doesn't; dogs are not allowed in the cars." N "Nor he doesn't bite." "Can't take him in." "He can't growl." "Slakes no difference."

RODENTS EAT $150,000,000 WORTH OF FOOD Sixteen Hundred and Forty-one Dead Fr;airie Dogs Were collected From 320 Acres Which Had Been Treated With Poison the Day Before by One Man Cost, Including Labor, $9.79 Specialists Teach Farmers How to Mix Poison. POISONING STOPS LARGE CROP LOSS Co-operation Among Farmers and AH Authorities Concerned Is Necessary. CAMPAIGN IN NORTH DAKOTA More Than 5,000,000 Acres Treated In North Dakota and Saving of $1, 000,000 Accomplished Many Counties Organized. Crops worth more than $150,000,000 are destroyed every year by such ro dents as prairie dogs, ground squirrels, pocket gophers, rabbits, field mice and rats and woodchucks. This heavy toll does not Include loss Inflicted by house mice and rats. That the losses due to rodents constitute an entirely unneces sary drain upon the productive capac ity of the farms and that they may be permanently eliminated at a cost which is but a small fraction of the damage occasioned during a single year has been proved by the extensive work al ready accomplished in campaigns con ducted by the Biological Survey of the United States department of agricul ture In co-operation with state and county organizations. Community co-operation will do the work. Rodent pests have been prac tically eliminated from millions of acres of valuable agricultural land In the last four years through the co-operation of thousands of farmers. De scribing these campaigns federal spe cialists declare that the eagerness with which farmers have availed themselves of the opportunity to join in concerted movements aimed at relief from these pests Is most significant and gratify ing, while the returns in increased crop yields from the amount of labor and money Invested in the community campaigns have exceeded all expecta tions. A successful fight against ro dent pests requires that all local, state and national agencies concerned be brought Into harmonious and effective co-operation and that modern poison ing methods of proved efficiency be used. Work in North Dakota. In the great grain-producing areas of North Dakota there has been devel oped the most extensive and thorough ly organized campaign with a compre hensive plan of state-wide eradication of rodent pests that has yet been at tempted. This campaign was organ ized under a co-operative project agree ment between the bureau of biological survey and the states relation service of the United States department of agriculture and the North Dakota agri cultural experiment station and exten sion service, including the county agent organization. The state legislature provided a revolving fund available for use in procuring and maintaining the required stock of poison supplies. Many Gophers Killed. The initial campaign was launched against the Bichardson ground squir rel, commonly known locally as "gopher." In many places poisoning resulted In the killing of OS per cent of the animals on the first application. Entire counties were organized in a systematic voluntary warfare upon the : rodents, using the township as a con venient working unit. Poisoned grain, i was prepared In quantity, placed In plainly marked containers and distrib uted to farmers, who then applied it according to directions around the ground-squirrel burrows on their farms. More than 5,000,000 acres were treat ed with poison in 191G. During the spring of 1917 16,000 farmers in North Dakota joined in this movement. The ground squirrels were poisoned on 4,500,000 acres, resulting in a practical elimination of the pest in the areas treated and a saving in the year's crop of more than $1,000,000. Including hire of labor to distribute the poison, the cost averages loss than 5 cents per acre under North Dakota conditions, and where landowners perform the la bor the actual cash outlay per acre Is materially reduced. Co-operative Campaigns. In other states co-operative cam paigns have been effective against other pests, such as prairie dogs and jack rabbits. As suggested by the cam paigns which have already been con ducted effectively, these five Important features essential to u'nate success are named by specialists of the denart ment of agriculture : (1) Co-operation of all agencies involved, including farmers, local organizations, county; state, and federal officials ; (2) lead ership trained and experienced in methods of rodent control and in or ganization ; (3) a unit plan to systema tize activities and cover a sufficiently large territory to prevent reinfesta tion; (4) financial support to procure supplies in large quantities; and (5) legal provision for the extermination of pests upon neglected areas. WWi FROM RODENTS IS COUNTRY-WIDE Food-destroying rodents are common throughout the United States. In states west of the Mississippi river prairie dogs, ground squirrels, pocket gophers, rabbits, cotton rats and field mice have taken a continually increasing toll from the crops of wheat, oats, corn, barley and other cereals, alfalfa, potatoes, beans, fruit, melons and almonds and from pasture ranges. States east of this boundary have suf fered heavily from the depreda tions of rabbits, woodchucks and meadow pine and white-footed mice in gardens, field and truck crops, orchards and vineyards. The estimate of $150,000,000 loss to crops annually in the United States is based upon information regarding conditions reported by field representatives of the bio logical survey, United States de partment of agriculture, county agricultural agents, other com petent officials, and farmers. It does not include losses inflicted by house mice and rats. States' Losses From Rodents. Some Idea of the loss suffered by individual states from native rodents may be obtained from the following estimate recently submitted to the United States department of agricul ture by state directors of agricultural extension work : Montana $15,000,000 to $20,000,000; North Dakota, SG.000, 000 to $9,000,000; Kansas, $12,000,000; Colorado, $2,000,000; California, $20, 000,000; Wyoming, 15 per -rent of all crops ; Nevada, 10 to 15 per cent of all crops or $1,000,000; New Mexico, $1, 200,0(i0 loss to crops and double thlf amount to range. Trust Me! Try Dodson's Liver Tone! .Calomel Harms Liver and Bowels Kea'd my guarantee! Liven your liver and bowels and get straightened up without taking sicken ing calomel. Don't lose a day's worki There's no reason why a person should take sickening, salivating calo mel when a few cents buys a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone a per fect substitute for calomel. It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as surely as calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and can not salivate. Children and grown folks can take Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is perfectly harmless. Calomel i a dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty calomel today and yon will feel weak, sick and nauseated to morrow. Don't lose . a day's wort. Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No more biliousness, constipation, sluggishness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don't find Dod son's Liver Tone acts better than hor rible calomel your money is waiting for you. Adv. Dill li MmM if iiiils Take "Eatonic" and Laugh At Stomach Troubles II. L. Kramer, the man who origin ated Cascarets, has discovered a sure, safe, quick-acting relief for bad stom achs. He named it EATONIC for your stomach's sake. You can eat anything you like now and digest it in comfort, for stomach ease is positively assured if you eat an EATONIC tablet regularly after each meal. EATONIC acts directly with the food the moment it enters the stom ach. It immediately checks any ten dency toward too much acid and en ables the food to pass from the stom ach into the bowel in a sweetened con dition, and thus prevents the forma tion of sour distressing gases that up set digestion and cause a bloated, dull, lumpy feeling that makes your FOOD REPEAT. EATONIC enables you to eat your fill and laugh at Indigestion, dyspep sia, heartburn, "sour stomach" and all the other bugaboos of "the-man-afrahi-of-his-stomach." Kramer says : "EATONIC should be in every home ready for use after ev ery meal. An EATONIC tablet wiU aid you naturally to easily digest and assimilate your food can be thor oughly enjoyed without . the slightest danger of misery from acid stomach. I strongly advise every one to take EA TONIC after meals. To correct bad stomachs and keep them in perfect condition, it is a most wonderful dis covery. If EATONIC fails to give yo prompt stomach relief, your money will be refunded ; 50c buys a large box at any drug store. Or write to Eatonie Remedy Co., 1018 S. Wabash Ave., Chi cago, U. S. A. He Can't Save Daylight. "James D. Perkins, proprietor of a tidewater mill at Kennebunkport, Me., is one of the few men in this coun try whose hours of labor were not af fected by the new daylight-saving plan. The mill, located on the Meusam river, is operated by the tide. When It is full, Mr. Perkins closes gates and con iines the water to a reservoir. As the tide ebbs he opens the gates to al low the water to escape into a sluice way. As the tide is about an hour later each day, Mr. Perkins cares nothing for clocks or the sun, or any other daylight saving plan. He is following the tide schedule, as he has for many years.
