(301) went there to open up. He decided to leave the door closed a little longer, so I suppose that they are still there. I looked in the window,but could not see them and deferred action until I can think about it a little more . At 8:30 Greenie was feeding No.4 at the oval lawn. 2:30 Greenie and NO.4 still at the oval lawn, Brownie in the glade came for worms. She is getting very ragged. (( The skunks were under some stairs in the tool-house (I saw only one with certainty). I ran a short piece of hose under the stairway, and tied the other end to a column, put a funnel in the end about 6 feet above the floor, then poured down it one pound of carbon di- sulphide after seeing that all doors leading to the outside were closed--also all windows. A few minutes afterwards, one of the skunks was seen trying to crawl up a scantling to get out of the vapor (which is heavier than air and formed a blanket over the floor of unknown deepth). It could not do it and disappeared beneath some sacks. About 2 o'clock I turned a flash-light beam under the stairs revealing a motionless skunk. Prodding with a bamboo brought no reaction. I pulled it out and it began to move its fore-paws after lying in the open air a few minutes, so I despatched it. Nothing was seen of the probably others. If there they will be under the sacks. There is no skunk odor about the place at all. 4:30 The second skunk was found still living, so that it had to be killed. This was not a neat performance. 5:20 The third one was found dead. None of them had moved more than a foot or two from the points where they were last seen fully alive. The method worked well and would have been entirely odor- less (except for the carbon disulphide) with the exercise of a little more care. As it was, only one victim gave off any odor and that was probably an involuntary act.) Greenie and his charge spent most of the day near the oval lawn,
