fowl of any kind congregated at one

They are of good size and resemble
the chicken hawk. They are feeding
on grasshoppers and are benefitting
the farmers to degree hard to esti-
mate, as they not only destroy the
insects, but seem to be eating the
eggs also and if they stay long the

While it is hard to say just what
amount of feed a prairie dog win
consume in the way of grass. it has
been estimated by the United States
biological survey that 80 prairie
dogs will consume as much grass as
one sheep, or 256 dogs as much as
one COW.
Based upon an average of 20 dogs
to the acre, which is considered to
be "A highly conservative estimate of
the population of the villages scat
tered about on the open ranges, the
same authority estimates that in the
state of Texas the prairie dogs an
nually consume as much grass as
would be eaten by 1852 500 cows
There is no doubt but that taking a
certain area of grazing land upon
which the dogs have established
themselves, the value of the land is
reduced fully so per cent by their
inroads upon the feed, not only be
cause of what they eat, but because
they dig up the very roots of the
grass and thus leave the ground per-
fectly bare about their habitations.
When an area is pretty well
cleaned OFF, they migrate to a new
spot and repeat the same destructive
process, with the result that in a
course of years, entire townships of
land are cleaned as bare as a floor
of every vestige of grass, and ii
takes several years of good seasons
to restore the old conditions after
the dogs are gone.

The statement in the bulletin that
the method of preparing the poisoned
wheat and its distribution upon the
ranges would be freely furnished to
all who cared to have it, in order
that they might make use of it on
their own lands, has resulted in n
regular avalanche of letters of in
quiry in regard to the matter
These letters have come from ev-
cry part of the United States. OF
course, the greater number of them
are from the far western part of the
country where the prairie dog is the
most numerous, but from Ohio, IL
linois. Indiana, New York, the south
ern states and along the Atlantic
coast came requests for the informa-
tion.
The eastern inquirers desired to
use it for killing off ground squirrels,
gophers and field mice; while others
a vi if it was possible to kill out
bSsers, chipmunks and rats with
the poison.
To every request the Washington
office of the forest service has for
warded a copy of the circular ex-
planning the preparation and use of
the poison. together with such other
information relative 10 the particu-
lar use for which it was desired, as
the results so far would indicate its
value.
There is little doubt but that the
poisoned wheat will promptly kill
any of the animals named which will
eat it. Dead skunks and badgers
have been found in the prairie dog
villages where the poisoned wheat
has been scattered, while dead squir-
rels,' chipmunks and field mice have
also been noticed close to the viii
lagos, which undoubtedly We're killed
by the poison.
The amount of damage done by
the prairie dogs is well indicated by
the letters received from the western
Stockmen.
The state of Kansas has been car
rying on warfare against the prair-
lie dog for the past two or three years
and the sum of 100000 was appro-
priated by the Kansas legislature for
the purpose. This work has been so
successful that today Kansas is prac-
tically free from the pests. The for
est service proposes to clean up the
areas inside the national forests, and
believes that when the stockmen see
how successful it is the various
states will be induced to take it up
on the open ranges and thus sweep

WOMEN IN TIE STOCK MARKET.
Wall Street Brokers Have Private

The number Of women speculators
IS amazingly largc-much larger than

brokerage houses maintain private

for this. One is that many women
