The recent publication Of the work
now being done by the Unlted States
forest service in the way OF killing
on the prairie dogs which i SO nu-
merous not only upon the national for
est areas, but upon practically all the
western lands used for general graz
ing purposes has keenly interested the.
stockmen OF the states west Of the
Mississippi In the regions where the
little animals are SO troublesome.
The statement in; the bulletin that
the method Of preparing the poisoned
wheat and It's distribution upon the
ranges would be freely furnished to
all who cared to have 1t in order that
they might make use Of 1t o n their
own lands, has resulted In q regular
avalanche of letters OF inquiry in re-
gard to the matter.
These letters have come from every
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 most numer-
GUS, but from Ohio, Illinois, Indiana.
New York, the southern states, and
along the Atlantic coast came re-
quests for the information.
The eastern inquirers desired to use
It for killing OF ground squirrels,
gophers, and field mice; while others
asked If it was possible to kill out
badgers, chipmunks and rats with the
poison.
To every request the Washington Of
flee OF the forest service has forward
ed q copy Of the circular explaining
the preparation and use Of the pois.
on, together with such other informa-
ton relative to the particular use for
which 1t was desired, as the results
SO far would indicate it's value.
There is little doubt but that the poi
soned 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 squirrels. chip
hunks, and field mice have also been
noticed close to the villages, which
undoubtedly were killed by the poison.
The amount Of damage done BY the
prairie dog is we'll indicated by the
letters received from the western
|stockmen.
One man writes from Colorado:
"As you wished to know the results
Il had from the dog poison, would say
the results are very satisfactory. II
comes nearer to doing the work than
anything I have ever tried. l hope

INTEREST in THE POISONING Of PRAIRIE DOGS

you will be able to continue this good
work for you could hardly take up
anything Of more Importance to ID
ranchmen than this work.
Another says:
The prairie dog poison you fur
nished me cleaned up three good sized
towns andsnot a sign Of life In any Of
them today. q
Il feel az, though that sack OF pois-
oned wheat will be worth as much to
me as all the grazing fees which I
have paid since the forest was e.
tablished." 4
The state Of Kansas has been car
rying on q warfare against the. prairie
dog for the past two Q three years,
andEt the sum Of 100000 was appro
{fpriated by the Kansas legislature for
the purpose. This work has been 20
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 1t up pm the
open ranges and thus sweep them ont
Iof existence.
While it is hard to say just what
amount Of feed q prairie dog will con-
sumo In the way Of grass, It has been
estimated by the United States Biolog
ical survey that 80 prairie dogs Will
consume al much grass rs a sheep.
or 256 dogs as much a. one COW.
Based upon an average Of rs dogs
to the acre, which is considered to be
a highly conservative estimate Of the
population Of the villages scattered
about on the open ranges, the same au-
tnority estimates that in the state Of
Texas, the prairie dogs annually cor
sumo as much. grass as would be eaten
by 1862, 500 COWS. There is no doubt
but that taking 3 certain are Of / i
ing land upon which the dogs have
80 "a RDN ~ fb&9fAEA 81
established themselves, the value Of
the land is reduced fully nifty per cent
by their inroads upon the feed, not
only because Of what they eat, hut he
cause they dig up the very roots Of
the grass and thus leave the ground
perfectly bare about their habitationx
When an area is pretty well cleaned
OF, they migrate to 2 new spot and
repeat the same destructive process.
with the result that In q curse OF
years, entire townships Of land are
cleared as bare IS q floor Of every
ivestige Of grass, and It takes several
J years Of good seasons to restore the
old conditions after the dogs are gone.
