PRAIRIE DOGS.
One of the Pests of the West.

| the biologists were loaded for rabbit
50 to speak, and they furnished the
forest people with harmless wash
to soak their pine nuts in before plant
ing, and with a cheap dip for the
nursery stock which q self-respectinC
rabbit will no more nibble than will
an ordinary human being smell auto
mobile odor for a perfume.
IN this the biologists confessedly
took a leaf out of the book of the
Piute and other desert-dwelling In
dians. The Plutes have been caching
food supplies of pine and pinion nuts
in the desert for hundreds of years
and they found that the rabbits, the
ground squirrels and prairie dogs
would clean out their cache. But
they found by experience that there
was a little desert weed that the
ground animals disliked excessively
and that anything dipped in tea
STEPPED from the bark of the weed was
rabbit-proof for long time thereafter.
So the rabbits We're checkmated on
that play and the forest officers have
no more trouble from that quarter.
PLAGUE OF THE WOLVES.
But it is the very presence of the
forest reserves that has bred the
present Vi "oiHCs
the West. No hunting is allowed in
the reserves and they form nurseries
for game of all sorts. But it seems
that they breed wolves quite as fast
as they breed anything else, of which
fact the cattle ralsers have been made
painfully aware.
In the days of the buffalo on the
plains, thousands of wolves lived on
the herds. When the buffalo We're
killed off the wolves disappeared also.
till there was not one where there used
to be a thousand. Then the cattle
men began to stock the ranges, and
the wolves found conditions much the
same as in the buffalo days. They
promptly multiplied and increased till
they are now doing an immense
amount of damage, aided largely by
their asylum in the forest reserves.
The biological survey has sent out
Mr.. Vernon Bailey, one of its best
men, to study the wolf problem, and
he has been skeeing and snowshoeing
through Wyoming and Montana while
the snow was on the ground and the
wolves We're particularly easy to track
and study. He has not done any
shooting, but is trying the effects of
polsons and traps. But the wolves are
about as cunning as foxes, and after
you have trapped and poisoned few
in a given district the rest grow wary

and other necessities is not SO
high as in the colder parts of
the country, as much of it is
usually produced near at hand. All
of these things combine to make the
regions of Southern California most
attractive to poultry growers, who may
be seeking a softer climate to lessen
the aggravation which the rigors of
winter heap upon some member of
the family. Many have gone there
seeking place merely to benefit their
health, and have been much improved
by SO doing; but they have also been
able to make living for themselves
and their families through the COM
blnation above described.
ALL CANNOT SUCCEED.
All do not succeed. This can not be
in any following of life. Those who
do succeed usually have more or less
experience in the business before they
embark upon it. The failures come
to the inexperienced, and those who
are unable to contend with the diff
culties always confronting one in the
upbuilding of a new home in any To-
cality.

Eggs sold in Chicago during the

In San Francisco the lowest price

Did you ever see a rat or mouse or

unwittingly confer a benefit of mil
lions of dollars annually on this

is a fatal and contagious malady,
