Exterminating The Squirrels

The California farmers, who have been greatly annoyed by the depredntions of myriada of Bquirrels, are being relieved by a man who seems to be a legitímate successor of tlie Pied Piper. His stock in trade is a poisonous pellet, sugar-coverej with something whioh he has discovcred to be especnilly attractive to the squirrel tribe, and he undertakes to rid farms of all the Bquinels at so mueh an icre. He has been very successful, and -wherever ho has distributed his patent pills the dead squirrels lie in heaps.
