PRAIRIE DOGS.
One of the Pests OF the West.

the biologists were loaded for rabbit,
SO to speak, and they furnished the
forest people with a harmless wash
to soak their pine nuts in before plant
ing, and with a cheap dip for the
nursery stock which a self-respecting
rabbit will no more nibble than will
an ordinary human being smell auto
mobile odor for perfume.
In this the biologists confessedly
took a leaf out Of the book Of the
Piute and other desert-dwelling In
dians. The Piutes 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 were checkmnted on
that play and the forest officers have
no more trouble fror that quarter.
PLAGUE OF THE WOLVES.
But 1t Is the very presence Of the
forest reserves that has bred the
present plague of timber wolves in
the West No hunting is allowed In
the reserves and they form nurseries
for game Of all sorts. But 1t seems
that they breed wolves quite as fast
as they breed anything else, Of which
fact the cattle raisers have beer, made
painfully aware.
In the days OF the buffalo on the
plains. thousands of wolves lived on
the herds. When the buffalo were
killed Off the wolves disappeared also
till there was not one where there used
| to be a thousand. Then he 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

| amount Of damage, aided largely by
their asylum in the forest reserves.
