The Prniric Dog.

An old cherished superstition about
the prairie dog is thus ruthlessiy
brushed aside il the American Natural
History by William T. Eornaday:
1t is not true that the prairie dog
lives in peace and harmony in the same
burrow with the rattlesnake and bur-
rowing owl The snakes would make
short work Of the young prairie dogs,
and the latter would quickly kill the
owl, 1t is safe to surmise that when

lily the latter speedily seeks nome
elsewhere. The burrowing owl Is In
the habit Of taking refuge in abandon
