RABBITS OF die Prairie Doc.


1t is now 10 longer the prevailing notion
that these engaging little animals do not
drink water, but on the contrary, however
they may get it, they are very fond of it,
and in reality must have it frequently.
A prairie marmot which | have as a pet
drinks water three or four times day,
and if deprived of it, shows the effect at
once and drinks double the amount the
very next time he gets chance The lit
tie fellow | bought from Navajo Indian,
when it hardly had its eyes open; at pres
ent he is full grown and alternating in a
burrow which he dug in the cellar last
October. | emphasize the word hibernat-
ing, because many still believe these ami
mails do not do so. Even here at Fort
Wingate, and presume in other parts of
New Mexico, these animals become torpid
just as soon as the first cold snap strikes
them, and repair to their burrows for hi
bernation again. until the return of warm
weather lures them out. There is large
prairie dog town" not mile from where
sit at present, and one may pass throus III
it every day during the cold weather and
when snow covers the ground, and not
track of this little animal can be found
anywhere in the vicinity. By the middle
of next month february, however, they
will begin to show themselves.
There is another old story now nearly
entirely exploded about them / refer to
the happy family of the prairie dog" the
prairie owl and the rattlesnake, all living
in harmony in the same burrow. OF course
they do nothing of the kind, but the mar
mots have to put up with these owls and
snakes as best they can, precisely as we, in
our large towns and communities, have to
put up with our owls and snakes in human
form-meeting and passing men every day
of our lives whom perhaps we know well
to be sneak-thieves and cut-throats. 1t is
said upon good authority that prairie mar
mots will even desert the burrow in which
a big "rattler" enters, and even, if small
eobblestones be handy in the neighbor-
hood of the entrance, deliberately seal it
up with them, so that the snake cannot get
out and must starye to death.-Forest and
