GOJD-BY TO WOODCHUCKS. 
Reading in a government report that a number of townships In 
the west had been cleared of gophers by the use of Bisulfide of 
Carbon. I tr : ed it for woodchucks with gratifying results. Buy a 
can of Bisulfide of Carbon, pour three or four tablespooufuls into 
a bottle alid cork it up tight. Visit the hole when the family are in. 
Close one opening and insert a handful of rags in the other as far as 
can be reached. Uncork the bottle, placing the thumb over the 
mouth. Cover the hole quickly. They never dig out. It costs less 
than four cents a hole. 
SUFFOCATE YOUR WOODCHUCKS. 
Being now in their burrows, woodchucks are helplessly in your 
power. Securely close all but one opening to the burrow, and dewu 
that roll a ball of rags saturated with “Fuma," Bisulfide of Carbon 
and quickly close the hole. H. C. B.

In order to be sure that Bisulfide of Carbon, which you manu- 
facture, will kill Woodchucks after putting some of it into the hole 
and closing all the outlets, I waited about twenty-four hours, and 
then dug in and found them dead. This I have done twice, and I 
have no doubt of its efficacy, in every instance where the conditions 
are fulfilled. I will never be without it and will never be annoyed 
with that animal on the premises any longer.
