prairie dogs. and shipping the skins east,
which appeared in the GLOBE REPUBLI-

his brother used prairie dog skins for
making gloves These skins make fine
gloves Mr-Furguson says there are three
times as many prairie dogs as formerly.
and the number is constantly increasing
It would no doubt be profitable business
for boys TO catch the little animals and
forward the skins to the eastern buyer
