TO afford immediate relief In the most
distressing forms of itching, burning

The extent to which the agricultured

PRAIRIE DOGS.

livery now and then one hears
about invasions of grasshoppers
that stop railroad trans. The
old yarn was being unreeled the
other night on the way down to
the Atlantic Highlands, when a
skeptic put in his unbelief:
81 have been through several
grasshopper epidemics, he said,
"and pever saw any such thing,
but / did encounter an exodus Of
prairie dogs once on what was
then a prairie in Nebraska that
held up long emigrant train for
a day and night.
at was during the rush for
Pixies Peak. 1t was no unusual
sight to see miles and miles of
covered wagons vending their
way like an army toward what
was supposed to be the better
land.
"We had been out about two
weeks from Omaha, when one Of
the advance guard hurried back
along the line with the informa-
ton that drove of prairie dogs
was crossing the road a mile or
so ahead, and that they were so
numerous that the vanguard of
the prairie schooners had been
stopped. A temporary halt was
made.
mo one supposed it would be
OF long duration, but, darkness
coming on, we rounded up for
the night. The next morning the
line did not move forward, nor
did it gain an inch all day.
"Then few of US mounted our
horses and rode forward to re-
connoiter. When we got within
a quarter of a mile of the head of
the line we looked forward. The
face of the earth was in motion.
"As far as the vision extended,
north and south, it was the same.
They were moving from the north
to the south-the prairie dogs
were. They were so close to-
gether you couldn't have tossed
your hat between them. They
did not seem to be panic. stricken
but just moved on and on like a
great cloud.
"It was the strangest sight |
ever saw. Old plainsmen said
they never saw anything like it..
When they were first seen we
turned the dogs in the train loose
upon them, but the dogs soon
gave out. Maybe there is some
sort Of affinity between domestic
dogs and prairie dogs which
prompted the former to strike
when it came to extermlnating
their species.
Anyway, the domestic dogs
just gave up the job. AS for shoot
ing the little brown rascals, that
would have been folly. We hadn t
the ammunition.
"The last night of the great ex-
odus everybody, tired out with
watching 1t, gave up the job and
sought rest wherever it could be
found. The next day there was
not a prairie dog in sight. We re-
sumed our journey. AS we near
ed our destination and the long
line of prairie schooners began to
disintegrate, men had something
else to think about, and the sight
was forgotten, / suppose.
"But I never forgot it, and now
and then occasionally have met
some one who also saw the sight,
and as / knew they were men
who never drank or dreamed, 1
satisfied myself that l was not
mistaken in what l saw. l reck-
