DOGS Of PRAIRIE
FAST DISAPPEARING
First of Original colonists
on Great Plains Doomed
to Extinction.

Alexander. n. D.. Jan. 1?.-If you
want to see Il prairie dog town you
have to hurry. The biological survey,
western state agricultural departments
forest rangers, stockmen, farmers and
homesteaders are out on the firing
line and the prairie dog. last of the
old denizens of the great plains, is
giving way before them.
Not long ago thousands OF these
dog towns existed through the Dako-
tas. Montana. Wyoming, Kansas. Ne
braska and Oklahoma. To the cattle
and sheep men the dogs were a far
greater ena than wolves, mountain
lions, coyotes and all other predatory
creatures combined. Tho little ami
mails swept the range of vegetation
cleaner than a prairie fire. On devas-
tating M area they pulled up stakes
and moved on to found a new town.
Some years ago n tract of hundreds
of thousands of acres in western Kan
sas swarmed with them. The state
took ny the matter. manufactured
poison by tho barrel and sent it out
to the infested region. The biological
survey and farmers and cattlemen
have followed the precedent set by
Kansas since and for years rave been
annually poisoning them in great num-
bers. Tn the national forests where
cattle and sheep are ranged an inn
portant work Of the forest service
is the poisoning of prairie dogs.
The prairie dog is a bold. saucy fell
low. He will sit on top of his burrow
barking necessarily and Tipping his
funny little tail with each yelp. Walk
along by a town and a. dog or two
or three will he seen on almost every
burrow. They will bark at you in de-
liant unison until you approach close.
They are on the watch. however, and
move your arm as though in the act
of throwing something and IN a flash
they turn tail and vanish into their
holes Attempt to shoot them and they
will nearly always luck too soon, or
if they are hit will fall back into the
burrow.
The oft-told story hat rattlesnakes
and burrowing owls make their homes
with prairie dogs Is not a myth but a
fact. so say plainsnen. That the re-
lationship is friendly is not 20 we'll
substantiated. 1t is probably true that
tho snakes and owls find the ready
made homes in which to sleep away
the winter. to their liking, and in re-
turn for the hospitality of the prairie
dog are o aNerse to dining off the
young now and then.
