KILLING A RATHER.
A Prairie Dog. Dazes and Then Finishesle
Snake.

Snake.
1t is often remarked that owls
prairie dogs and rattle snakes live
amicably together in one hole which
the prairie dog is supposed to have
prepared. In order TO test the ques-
ton of the peaceful relations between
the dog and snake an old army officer
tells me that he once turned rattler
loose in his room.
Opening the cage OF the prairie dog
the little fellow at once came out and
ran back and forth Immediately in
front OF the reptile. which was coiled
with its head poised ready to strike
the dog. The snake followed tho
dogs movements with its head. The
dogs eyes were constantly directed
toward the snakes eyes.
After time the movement Of the
snakes head from side to side grew
slower. 1t seemed to have become
confused or dizzy from the continued
exercise. With quick spring the
dog seized the snakes neck close to
the head and bit it viciously. He
continued biting the snake along the
spinal cord from neck to tail the first
bite having practically ended the
snakes life.
When the dead reptile was swung
to and fro from the bars of the dogs
cage the animal tried to ward it off
with his fore feet. These actions
convinced the officer that the dog ap-
preciated the dangerous qualities of
the snake.
This observer also thought that
snakes did not strike adult dogs when
living with them, because the holes
were too small to maneuver in. Sci
