BISULFIDE OF CARBON FOR BURROWING ANIMALS. 
Mr. R. E. Beatty, Arapahoe County. Col., writes : I wish to make 
it known through the Prairie Farmer the complete success of Bi- 
sulfide of Carbon to exterminate ground squirrels, gophers, etc. 
Take a cotton ball, saturate it with the liquid, roll into the hole, 
close up tight, and it is a sure shot every time. For moles dig dowu 
to their runs and put iu a saturated ball both ways, close the hole, 
audit will kill them. . But moles are hard to get rid of,, and you 
must be attentive and do the work thoroughly, as you cannot find 
all the holes at once, but by watching you can see their mounds as - 
they dig up the dirt. Ground squirrels can be completely exter- 
minated by applying it in their burrows, and every one knows the 
destruction they make with newly-planted corn in Colorado. We 
are troubled with prairie dogs, and they are very destructive on 
crops of all kinds — in fact, they would completely ruin grain or corn 
if it were not for some remedy to rid the field of them. The best 
remedy is Fuma, which is a preparation of Bisulfide. Use Fuma. It 
is better for killing all rodents. I hope some of your readers will 
be induced to try it, and report through your paper, as it is the best 
remedy in existence. I had 160 acres completely overrun with prai- 
rie dogs. They ruined the pasture and almost destroyed my corn 
crop. I procured 150 pounds of Fuma Bisulfide and completely rid 
the field of them. All use it around this section of the country, and 
with complete success. It is used also to kill weevil in grain. It is 
not costly, and should be used by everyone that is troubled with ro- 
dents of any kind. It will kill skunks, rabbits or weasels. To those 
wishing to use it, I would recommend them to Edward R. Taylor, 
as he is the manufacturer, and he will send you 
pamphlets describing the various uses that it can be applied to.
