Tn southern Pennsylvania, where the woodchuck is unpleasautly abun- dant, farmers have adopted a novel method of killing the wily animal, and about as near abating the nui anything can Bottles are long fuses being The bottles are comes sance filled with powder, inserted in the corks, pushed as far as possible into the woodchuck burrows amd then the mouth of the burrow is closed and tightly tamped with dirt, The fuse is ignited and the explosion that follows f&« severe enough to kill every wood chuck in the burrow. Unsophisticated farmers often think they can see an easy way of getting rid of woodchucks by closing up the burrows by filling dirt and stones in the opening. This is labor entirely lost, for the woodchuck that finds himself thus made a pris oner in his home at once starts in and digs a way out to liberty, either through the obstructed opening or ia another direction.—New York Sun. as The population of Palestine is in. creasing rapidly.
