Carbon Bisulphide for Woodchucks 
There are so* many questions about 
killing woodchucks that we copy the fol¬ 
lowing from a Cornell note: 
In using this method the carbon bi¬ 
sulphide is placed in the burrows. It 
evaporates quickly and forms a poisonous 
gas. Following are directions for its use 
as given by the college: 
Plug up all but one or two of the open¬ 
ings to the burrow. Tie a loose wadi of 
burlap, rags, or waste to the end of a lim¬ 
ber stick or whip and. holding it over the 
hole, pour on about half a teacupful of 
the liquid. Insert the rag as far down 
the hole as possible, and plug up the open¬ 
ing. As the gas is heavier than air, it 
sinks to the lowest level. It is, therefore, 
best to apply it in the highest' holes. 
The gas generated usually kills the 
■woodchuck, but. sometimes in porous soil 
the animal may escape by retreating to 
one of the higher galleries, where he digs 
into the fresh earth. To obviate this 
difficulty and to make the treatment more 
effective, open the burrow about 10 min¬ 
utes after the liquid is applied and explode 
the gas. This is best done with a little 
torch on the end of a stick. Be careful 
’to stand at one side of the hole to avoid 
being burned by the flame of the explod¬ 
ing gas.
