The Ground Hog Not A
Hog But A WOOdchunck

Tuesday, February 2, is the date
accepted as ground hog day, although
there is some dispute about it. A few
facts along this line might not be
amiss
The ground hog is not hog at all,
hut a woodchuncK. He is one of the
rodent or knawing animals, native to
America. He is fifteen to eighteen
inches in length, color varying from
blackish to grizzled above and chest
nut. red below, feet dark, tail blacklist,
sometimes with grayish rings. The
form is THICK and clumsy, neck hardly
apparent, head broad and fiat, legs
short and thick, tail short and bushy,
eyes small, ears short, feet large and
naked below, hair rather short,
whiskers long and stout. Its range is
from Hudson Bay to South Carolina
and westward to the neighborhood
of the Rocky Mountains. 1t takes its
name of ground hog from its greedi-
ness and its burrowing habits. 1t
digs deep holes In the fields on the
sides of hills, or under ROCKS in the
woods, in Sian ting direction, at
first upward to keep out of the water
In the barrow thus made, with sever
al compartments and usually with
more than one entrance, the ground
hog passes the winter in a dormant
state. He feeds on various plants,
fruits and vegetables, oeing specially
fond of red clover They frequently
make their incursioLs upon the fields
at midday, posting sentinels; they are
very vigilant and their sense OF hear
ing is remarkably acutre. They are
very clearly and are easily tanned.
They have five or six young at a
birth. They fight boldly and are
more than a match for a dog OF
equal size. Their flesh is rank, but Is
sometimes eaten.

According to the report of the Comp

The rate of increase from 1890 to 1908

A little calculation will easily show
that, should this proportionate rate of

On the average there is now one
bank to every 4, 40 of our population,
with a per capita deposit of $126. 80,
including about S37. so in the savings

There is food for thought in these

finding this great country of ours so
prosperous; you may well be-
lieve that the. recent liquidation In
Wall Street was but "a rich man s
panic, for the West is undoubtedly
forging ahead in wonderful manner.
The farmers are getting richer every
year; new industries are springing
up as by magic; cities are populous,
fairly cleaned and we'll governed, and
the people in general appeared ito me
as hearty, happy and prosperous as
they proved to be hospitable. The

siasm and admiration Tor the men
who, with indomitable will and tire
less energy, amid countless dangers

is evident that the mountains have as
yet been only barely scratched for
their untold millions of treasure
