Many authâ€" orities on plain natural hisbory say that the common opinion that these matures dwell together in one com- mon hole is erroneous. They say it is true that snakes live in holes in the ground, but they are not the ones occupied by the prairie dogs. The owls are about the size of the ordinary screed: owl, but with a spread of wings exceeding two feet. The holes in which they live are up- pmntly those which have been evac- uated by the prairie dogs and tho some is true of the "dog-hole rub- !‘its " which ltkcmse live '3: “)0 ground. butane prairie dogs . hold A commonly mooted question among plainsmen is one regarding the_ community life of prairie dogs. 1find them and transporting himself to his hole. For the prairie dog is a. Wise dog and will not allow his anatomy to be chewed a. moment af- ter he knows his adversary is the better dog. â€"Vâ€"---VJ there is nothing aliyeflto compare my with them. They are smart, saucy, 3:; and pugmeio‘ rodents. They move 6. so rapidly and are seldom at rest. at least outside their holes, that it is difficult to shoot them. Even cowboys, expert with firearms, find prairie dogs most difficult marks‘ It with rifle or pistol. A dog may be 1â€" seen sitting on his hind legs close if heside his hole, and at the least sugâ€" :- gestion of danger, especially at a reâ€" .t port of a gun, the little fellow will disappear down his hole as quick as a flash. Each colony of dogs seems to have some supreme authority-â€" some recognized head. as a Mayor or President. This authority evidently directs the laying out of the colony or town, and orders an abandonment of the spot when a common danger ‘ lurks, or when the base of supplies becomes exhausted. A colony of ‘ 5,000 or 6,000 prairie dogs has been known to desert a town site of sevâ€" . eral years’ standing in one day, and ’ move half a mile away, where there ‘ ' was green alfalfa or tender corn to feed upon. To the casual observer, prairie dogs seem the jolliest and most do- cile of animals. But a visitor in a dog colony soon finds that there are few more belligerent creatures on four feet than these amusing prairie dogs if a visitor will place himself on any fine day where he will see it all, and at the same time not be seen. in a dog village, when the in habitants are. trotting about the cammunity thoroughfares and each resident seems at peace with all his race, he will see tiny dust storms arise now and then among the sand heaps. There will be a momentary tossing and heaving of fur while the dust rises higher and higher. These are but personal encounters between the residents of the town. The ad- jacent dogs pay no attention to them. The writer has seen seven or eight tooth-to-tooth conflicts at once in a little colony of prairie dogs. These street brawls are brief but hot. and are ended by the vanqllished taking unto himself legs when he can Vim \-|\vlwlllv N 7» fast Drair ROWE -v “-V man, “I“ III an arid won, where hay is ‘hay and cattlemen spend fortunes for forage, the complaint of the farmers may be understood. Texas has a law (the Peery law) b designed to eflect the extermination l ‘0! the pet of prairie dogs in that state. Thus far the law has been a failure. It provides that after Aug- ust 1, 1901, it is lawful for an own- ’ er or a lessee of adjacent land to ex- ' terminate prairie dogs at a reason- ' able charge, the payment of which ' shall be a lien upon the land. This lien is superior to all other liens ex- ‘ cept taxes. The supervisors of a county in Texas may employ men to destroy the dogs on lands of non- residents and the cost {or the same become a charge against the land. During the past year some $23,000 has been spent in the State in get- ting rid of the pest. and the State Comptro reports that scarcely any 4 results are yet observed. A PRAIRIE-DOG TOWN There is aIWays something interest/u ‘ ing to a spectatorâ€"especially one from the Eastern Statesâ€"in a prairiq ‘ dog town.

The chief toe of the pinkie dog is the coyote or gray ‘ wolf of the plains. As the West has been settled and as the frontier line has faded. the coyote hes diminished before its slaya-s. Meanwhile the prairie dog has multiplied at an al- arming rate. It is not uncommon nowadays to find in some parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and western Texas, literally a square ‘mile of land so punctured by the holes of a com- imunity of prairie dogs that one may count several thousand holes to each ‘ acre.
