but that nothing short of a contagious, fatal disease will eventually kill off the pests.
 Early homesteaders on the western plains have eaten the prairie dog often, and were glad to get even meat of that kind. and the cowboys and In dians tell of feasts when the prairie dog was the only meat served. Tales of migradons of the prairie dogs are also told by both the cowboys and the Indians. and in particular the migra. ton of 1874, when millions of the dogs marched overland from Oklahoma across the Red river into the Panhan- de country. That migration eclipsed Ea5pthipg of the kind ever recorded. ses
 This migration occurred in July. 1874. according to the cowboys, and their version of the affair is vouched for by both Kiowa and Comanche In- dians, who were on the war path ire Quently about that time. Millions of the dogs, evidently seeking greener pastures. swept over the prairies, leaving wide, barren track behind them. It took them six days to make the entire trip. including the fording of Red river near the place where President Roosevelt camped when on his southwestern hunt. e14 e3
 The prairie dog Is very fraternal. and has been known to bunk in their towns with both snakes and rabbits. There is one species of rabbit that is frequently found burrowing with the prairie dogs. species that is consid. erably smaller in size than the com mon cotton tail" During the winter months the dogs and snakes often live together peaceably for some time.
