Prairie Dogs Have Their Holes That Go

The most interesting thing have

Geer OF Lamont. Colorado at the Eb-

tiOus little Inhabitants of the plains A
few miles from my town a large force
of men has been ut work this summer
making II deep cut for short railroad
UP into the mines. a friend of mine is
in charge of the job. and | Went out
week ago to see him and the work that
had been done The first thing that at
trncted my attention when l got there
was the fact that the cut was being
made through an old alfalfa field and
the roots fringed the sides of the cut
and hung down fifteen to eighteen feet.
Up at the surface Of the ground We're
the stubbed green plants, and reach
ing down deep into the earth We're the
rat, Dusiness-like roots. getting their
living fnr below where ordinary plants
forage for subsistence.
But the most remarkable thing was
the prairie dog wells that had becY dug
into. The cut went through dog vii
lage. and being Il deep one--somc forty
Ieet-it went below the town. There
has always been II discussion about
where the prairie dog gets his drink.
Some say he goes eternally dry ana
does not know what it is to have an Gle
CANT thirst on him. Usually their towns
are miles from any stream and in an
arid country where there is no surface
water atN any time sufficient for the
needs of an animal requiring drink.
The overland travellers back In the days
of pioneering used TO find the dog
towns out OH the prairie scores of miles
from the streams. There was no
dew. the air was dry as. a bone, the
buffalo grass would be parched brown
and there would be absolutely nothing
to quench thirst.
II remember Il discussion begun thir-
~ years ago in the American Naturalist
by DR.. Sternbcrg. now surgeon gen-
eial. on the subject and he argued in
favor of the well theory. But there,
near Lamont. is ocular proof OF the
well theory. The nest holes of the dogs
were five or six feet deep, but four or
five holes went straight down as deep
as the excavation had been made, and
evidently on into the water-carrying
sand beneath. These holes appeared to
