Sure Cure for Woodchucks 
We have been bothered with wood¬ 
chucks so long and have spent so much 
time, fighting them with but ^little per¬ 
manent result that the ease with which 
we n"pw get ahead of them has been the 
biggest surprise for some time. We have 
had so much trouble getting anything 
that would really do business in the way 
of smothering them with smoke by the 
burning of oil-soaked rags in the holes, 
or placing gasoline on rags, poisoning 
with salt and arsenate of lead. We have 
mostly Tesorted to burning oil-soaked rags 
in the holes, but the trouble is to get the 
fire to burn long enough, no matter what 
material used, and those who have fol¬ 
lowed the recommendation put out by cer¬ 
tain people who do not know what really 
happens, to open the hole and fire the 
gas a few minutes afterward, or to put 
gasoline on a rag and touch a match to 
it after it is pushed back in the hole, get 
a hint, and I took it. I was hunting for 
a piece of insulated wire last Spring to 
connect up battery with spray engine, 
and was surprised to find just what I 
thought I wanted, until I came to skin 
off the insulation from the end of the 
wire and found it was powder. It was 
just what I wanted for the woodchucks, 
and I could fire that gas and not get 
singed myself. I took common excelsior 
packing material, wadded up a bunch of 
it. poured on gasoline, turning it end for 
end to keep the gas from dripping off too 
much, thrust it in the hole, previously 
having cut a piece of the fuse, and had a 
round stone, or one that would nearly fit 
the hole, ready. The fuse is placed with 
one end back in the hole, no matter 
where, the other out where it can be 
lighted, and the opening quickly and 
tightly closed. The gasoline evaporates 
quickly, and by the time the fuse spits 
fire into the hole it is ready for business. 
If the mixture is just right and timed just 
right, it may blow the head out of the 
“cylinder,” but this is not necessary, for 
whether fired at once or delayed a few 
moments the result is the same ; the bole 
is closed ; it stays closed from the inside, 
and the surprising part is that visiting 
woodchucks do not seem to take to these 
holes, and so far have found but one hole 
opened that was so treated, and that was 
a double-header, and I only fired one of 
the two holes. The worst place is along a 
stump fence where stones have been 
hauled in past years, and the chucks find 
this a grand place to work. If the run 
is close under the stones so the gas 
can get out this would not work, and iu 
such a case we have cleared away the 
stones until it was tight. As wood¬ 
chucks do a lot of visiting and running 
across country to new holes. I expect to 
find many of these holes opened later. 
6ut it has been such a complete success, 
and such an easy, inexpensive method, I 
thought someone else might be interested.

Raising Pheasants 
How could I raise little pheasants? 
In cutting hay the machine hit a mother 
pheasant, injuring it; she flew off and left 
the nest with 13 eggs. We set a hen on 
them and they should soon be hatched. 
Is the same, food as for little chicks all 
right? We have a large range here, but I 
presume we would have to keep them 
cooped or they would fly off. Would they 
live and thrive if I had them enclosed? 
New Jersey. E. J. K. 
The State Conservation Commission of 
New York advises that pheasant eggs 
should be hatched under hens in nests 
made upon the turf and protected by an 
ordinary type of open bottomed hen coop. 
The eggs should hatch in from 21 to 24 
days, and the young birds should be left 
undisturbed for 24 hours. The coop should 
then be removed to a nearby field and a 
small enclosure a foot in height and made 
from tight boards should be placed in 
front of it to confine the birds with the 
hen until they have learned her call. 
After three days, the hen and her brood 
should be given their liberty to procure 
the insects necessary for the young. A 
shallow pan of water should be kept in a 
convenient place near the coop. Under no 
circumstances should any attempt be 
made to confine the young birds to a pen 
or yard. The birds will remain with the 
hen until nearly grown, usually making 
their home in some nearby thicket. They 
may be encouraged to remain there by an 
occasional handful of grain thrown to 
them. 
The young pheasants should be fed as 
soon as they remove from the nest and 
thereafter from three to four times daily 
until five or six days old. This first food 
should consist of hard boiled eggs chopped 
fine and mixed with a little bread or 
cracker crumbs. After the first week small 
grains, such as cracked corn, rolled oats 
and wheat, may be'substituted for the egg 
mixture. Milk curd, entirely free from 
salt, is also relished by the young birds. 
Young pheasants are hardy, uninjured by 
early morning dews or by rains, and after 
four or five weeks of age are fully feath¬ 
ered and able to take care of themselves.
