DOG TOWNS" IN NEBRASKA
They Cover Acres and the Authorities Are De-
vsinQ Plans 10 Get Rid of Them.

The rapid increase in the number OF
prairie dogs in western Nebraska has
caused the experiment station connect
ed with the State University to expert
ment with a view TO suggesting means
for their extermination.
These pests have become such a pnis-
ance i'm Sheridan county and other
parts OF Nebraska, especially in the
northwestern part, that the people are
actually becoming alarmed.
Ten years ago there were but few
prairie dogs in the vicinity of Rushville
and these it is claimed Were in the
same Town" Little attention has been
paid to the damage done by them un-
I'll within the last three or four years,
according TO the Chicago Record. But
since then they have increased with
alarming rapidity. migrating 10 new
places and starting new towns. AS
an example Of how fast they multiply
mention may be made of dog
town" located just north OF Rushville.
Three years ago this town covered less
than 100 acres. and at the present time
it extends over nearly four sections oI
land. Within a radius OF four miles
! of Rushville there are no less than nine
| towns" covering as much as $500
acres OF pasture, which is rendered al
| most useless.
| The damage done by these little pests
| consists in killing out the grass in
| their town" And as that part of the
country in which they exist is almost
entirely used for grazing purposes. IL
is necessary that the land be saved
against their ravages.
For the purpose of exterminating the
prairie dog various methods have beer
| tried. some with complete success
whole towns having been entiI ely killed
out. But what has been successful IN
one case has not been i'm another, and
the dogs continue TO thrive. The most
important and practical methods con.
sist in the use Of poisonous gases and
| different diseases and poisons.

MEAT. CITY.
Bulls Takes Every Month 725 CaIIIs, 100 Sheep,
1900 Hogs and 300 Caves.

Few residents OF Butte have any ade-
quate conception of the enormous
quantit les of meat consumed regularly
in that city. according TO the Anacon-
da Standard. Butte Is pre-eminently
a meat-e eating community. 1t is the
characteristic OF The town. Families
which in other localities ate meat
sparing1y, on coming to Butte soon ac-
quire the meat habit and have flesh IN
some form ON the table at almost every
meal. This excess OF meat consump-
tion is probably due No the fact that
no vegetables or fruit are raised in
Butte and have TO be shipped such
great distances that they are seldom 20
fresh as TO be very tempting. tlsn ls
also shipped such a distance THAT rev
families eat lt often. The meat in Butte
il. however. always good, and the city
consumes enormous quantities.
Every month a drove of about 40
cattle are devOurtd in Butte. In addi-
ton the city devours each month about
1900 sheep and lambs. 1900 hogs and 300
calves Since the recent consolidation
OF several slaughter companies the
meat for Butte has been furnished py
the Butte Meat and Provision Com
pany. the Montana Meat Company OF
Anaconda and Pat Mullin Co. Some
retail dealers and restaurants nave
beeves and hogs shipped here from ohe
East but the great bulk OF the meat
is slaughtered close TO the ctty. The
cattle killed here now mainly come
from Oregon and Idaho. Some Montana
cattle are also killed, brought here from
the Big Hole. The several local COM
panfes have been consolidated IN tine
